3 Verses That “Destroy” Catholicism

- It's often the case that anti-catholic people throw certain verses out with the mindset that they alone destroy the catholic faith. These are the top three that I have heard in my interactions here in TH-cam world and other places.
You're going to have to bear with me in some of my sarcasm here, but I think you will get the idea. Maybe you have others or have heard others. Feel free to list them in the comments, but please be nice. God bless you all!

I will be Confirmed, at the age of 73, this Easter Vigil. Your videos have helped me on my journey. God bless you.
WOW! Welcome home. I bet you have such a deep faith full of wisdom. Someday you should post your witness!
Congratulations Clay on receiving the sacrament of Confirmation. May God continue to bless you and your family.
Good on you Clay and may you receive an abundance of blessings from our Lord and Saviour 💟✝️💟
May God bless and protect you always. Two women were confirmed at our Easter Vigil today which was very emotional for me as it brought back memories of my confirmation 10 years ago (at 65 yo).
Welcome Home Clay.....
I love these videos like this as a former anti Catholic southern Baptist. I still look back and I'm like how the heck did I believe on this non sense. I came home in 2013 And have never looked back.
Welcome home brother
Same here, Brother. I left the Southern Baptist church after 40 years. I don't miss doing shots of grape juice in plastic shot glasses or the soup crackers and calling that a representation of the Lord's Supper.
@@samruggiero1778 Amen to that!

Glad to have you. Welcome Home ❤
No one can destroy the Catholic Church using bible verses.
You should not be so arrogant. because that can be done and without stopping, believe me.
According to your church, salvation cannot be found unless it is not in a Roman Catolic church, So in the gospel of the salvation of Christ, ¿ why did Jesus wonderfully forget to tell us that we had to congregate in a Roman church in order to obtain that salvation ?
which he already gave to us by paying the price on the cross?
And how was the thief saved on the cross? If he wasn't Roman Catholic?
Lucas 23:32-47
@@PielDeVac You really dont undestand what your talking about... You hate the word Roman, but the Catholic Church have lots of Rites of Church...
@@Crystal_G_1989 To be a follower of Jesus Christ you don't have to commit intellectual suicide, but rather get your act together and study the councils that repudiated what the Roman Catholic Church wanted to do with Christianity. Otherwise you're going to end up cleaning statues.
@@Crystal_G_1989 Do you accept the councils of Nicaea and Carthage?
You're right but it's the obessession of the non catholic brethren and they don't even aware that their working for the devil.
I’m soooo very happy that more and more people are coming to the Catholic faith,,,,, I remember back then when I was younger and I would pray the Rosary,,,, at the end of the rosary I use to pray for the conversion of sinners,,, and I use to think,,,, people are never going to convert but I used to pray anyway,,,,,, boy was I wrong,,, each day,,, I see it in the church in the RCIA,,,,,, it’s all wonderful,,,,,
That is such a sweet story. A very nice thing to say.

@@nightshade99 y awful??????
It's wonderful to pray for the conversion of sinners, but let's not forget that each of us is a sinner and we're all called to conversion in our lives and in our hearts.
I agree with you that it's heartening to hear stories of the conversion, i.e. change of religious practice, of many brothers and sisters. This is evidence to me of the strength of the Church's teaching and grounding in Christ despite the many ways we as His followers have fallen short.
Awesome bro
I left the Church refusing Confirmation at age 13.
Became Protestant age 21. ( I thank them from the bottom of my heart. I came to know Jesus and the Bible).
I read the Bible so much I eventually had to become Catholic.
Age 40 I made Confirmation . That was 12 years ago.
Amen
Be Blessed

Odd that you would follow the church and not follow God's word the scriptures. When any church goes against scripture and tells you that it has authority to do so then you really need to do as Acts 17:11 by example shows you.

The " Catholic Church " does follow scriptures. It's some folks in the Church that do not.

Protestants go on the attack with, "where does it say in the Bible ... ?"They will never accept that there is tradition that has been handed down by the Apostles and revealed truth to the Magisterium. Well, since we're playing the verse vs verse - where does it say in the Bible that you can break up a church and form your own church? That's the biggest apostasy right there, all the church splitting. Go all the way back to Church of England and Martin Luther and every time you see a split, someone is following the will of man and not God.
I was raised fundamental bible church. I am now Catholic. Thanks you have helped me on my way.
@@nightshade99 Scriptures backs Catholic teachings.
@@nightshade99 brother do you know the history of the bible ? How it came about?
@@nightshade99 of course you would say yes. In the beginning there were letters and epistles written by the Apostles to the various churches they founded. As time goes on, more and more Christians wrote their own letters and epistles. By AD 400, there were so many floating around that the Catholic Church met in Councils to filter through and decide which are legitimate inspired Word of God, which are apocrypha and which are false. The Catholic Church decided on the canon of the bible, both the NT and OT. The Reformation agreed with the Catholic Church thr canon of the NT but decided against thr OT preferring to adhere to the OT. canon decided by Masoretic Jews.
As for the NT, the Catholic Church wrote the NT, because the writers were the Apostles who obtained their teachings from Jesus. They passed down these teachings to the Early Church Fathers who passed down these teachings and the correct interpretations of which to the Catholic Church of today.
It is Protestants who had heretical interpretations of the bible. Because the Early Church Fathers didn't have Protestant beliefs.
In any case the Protestants accepted the decisions of the Catholic Church by accepting the canon of the NT. The CC decided which letters and epistles are truly the inspired Word of God and which weren't. Could the Church be wrong and missed out any legitimate letter ? Could it be wrong in allowing a false letter be included in the NT ? No. Because it has divine authority back by heaven given by Jesus in Matt 18:18
@@nightshade99 God protects His Word by teaching to His Apostles whom He has commissioned to preach the Good News
All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age. (Mat 28:18-20)
The Apostles were also given the divine back authority to bind and loosen in Matt 18:18.
They were guided by the HS to write the Scriptures. Thus they knew the meaning of what they wrote.
All the above means the Apostles knew the correct interpretations and teachings of Jesus. They passed this down to the next generation of bishops, deacons and presbyters they ordained. And they, to the next successive generation till today. Every Catholic clergy can trace their ordination back to the Apostles. The teachings and rightful interpretations of scriptures is this preserved.
Unless Protestants where each is their own Pope and own interpretations of scriptures.
I have personally witnessed my Bible Presbyterian friend arguing with my Charismatic friend whether the Age of the Holy Spirit has ended. Both adhere to Sola Scriptura, both quoted from the same KJV but arguing from diametrically opposite positions.
This is the problem of Protestantism. Each is their own Pope, spawning a myriad of personal, heretical interpretations.
@@nightshade99 Please be honest and don't perform mental gymnastics. Matt 18:18 - Jesus was talking ONLY to the Apostles and no one else. His divine investiture is only on them . He breathed the HS on them as a commissioning.
You used the word "seems". Yes seems like but its not. Please read the bible passage again. Be honest to God.
Thank You so Much!!
Joining the Church this Easter.💗💥
As a Protestant convert to the Catholic church, I appreciate these types of videos.
I love being Catholic and have learned so much more through videos from some good Catholic people online than from the RCIA program. You have to read and search and question to learn as much as possible about your faith.
There is so much to learn! 🙏❤️🙏❤️
Thanks Chris
..how about the recitative prayers.
... let's clarify the hail holy.queen prayer...?
She hails ur life,she is it sweetness and
Hope; she turns her 'most gracious advocate' and'her eyes of mercy towards
us' and 'to you do we cry' 'to U do we send
up our tears' ...are these not prayers to
Mary...? ...can U clarify these too?
@@kennischidiebereezirim7533, hmmnn, looks like Chris Whittington and Keith Nester did not bother to spare some time to answer your querry, maybe because they are pretty sure that you’re giving them a petty question that they have come to understand already the answer to it, as they are former Protestants themselves.
Do you have any clue still yet that both of them are Catholic converts, that they are former Protestants?
What kind of faith? Catholic is out of Bible..... Love is a gift of God..... Meditate the Bible.... We are saved by grace alone.... I'm not saying that I'm better than you but truth is always truth... God bless you.....
Me too
God bless you Keith. Years ago a dear friend saddened me when she questioned me about things that we do as Catholics. She is a strong Christian woman and those questions came out of no where, her thoughts about it and how she approached it really surprised me, because I’ve never heard her criticize anything in that way like we as Catholics are wrong and basically made fun of Mary and the saints. I love her so much and always accepted her faith but never would have thought she would talk down about mine. I grew up in the faith where 85-90% of my island is Catholic, so that is all I knew my whole life. I went to mass and religious education my whole life but could not defend myself when those questions came up, I’m not very good at explaining. My heart always knew our church is the one true church and my parents always told my siblings and I that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist, everything else I couldn’t explain about the saints, why do we sit, stand, and kneel, and memorize and recite the mass etc. This video has really helped me understand those questions even further, thank you! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
We need to teach apologetics!! :) Blessings!
Not so dear one, what I see this video did to you is that it's given you a false sense of security because the commandment is very clear, thou shalt not make any graven images to bow down before them. That is not complicated, it's clearly specified that you don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand that. My brotherly advice to you is run to Jesus while you still can and will safely rest in peace for he alone is the Savior and is still alive, but as for Mary the blessed mother is dead and so are the saints of old sleeping waiting for that great day of resurrection. I would not be surprised if the( resurrection) is another convoluted topic for you. It's time you get out of there and find real nutritious spiritual food for your famished soul
Protestant have to learn all those thing in order to manipulated and use reverse psychologist in order to make you doubt and deceive people to leave the catholic church, I personally consider them ocultist because they usually only hide their true intentions and also I consider them fake because they talk horrible things about catholics behind their back they hyproctical smile at you but think horrible thing about you
@@YiriUbic3793 it's quite obvious from ur statements that you have no knowledge of the history of the Roman catholic church, do ur research concerning idol worshipping and image veneration not to mention the dark ages and you will find that no one talks behind the back of the catholics, it's common knowledge
Be sure its the Old Mass not the novus ordo fake
I always say, on every one of these,"Oh, that's the "BEST ONE EVER," but this really is THE BEST ONE EVER! Well needed.🕊️😊💯
Thank you, Keith, the defender of the Faith. Much love in the Lord.
Blessings from your Eastern Orthodox brother. I like your style bro! Peace be with you!
Thank you my friend. Peace be with you.
I love the Orthodox Church especially the icons, even though I’m Catholic 💟✝️💟
@@margyrowlandso... Why don't you convert? Do you know what they believe in? No Purgatory. No Immaculate Conception (Mary was born tainted with original sin, unlike... exactly, Eve). They don't accept the Pope: have you never heard, where the Pope is, there is the Church? Oh, and, here comes the best: the "Orthodox" believe in nation over unity. So, if Russia is at war with, say, Romania... Orthodox priests will preach... exactly, war against Romania. There has to be a reason why an impostor "John Doe" would call himself The "One and Only John Doe"🤠 Pax Christi
If you want to be good brothers, convert. But you put country before God. You betray Christ for someone like Putin. And you call yourselves "orthodox", which is insulting to everyone else. Ever thought how non-universal the "Orthodox" church is? Where are your missionaries? Didn't Christ order "Go teach and make disciples of all nations"? Not "Soviet Republics", DISCIPLES...
As a recent Protestant convert to Catholicism I appreciate this vid Keith and all that you do 🙏🏻👍🏻

WELCOME TO THE DENOMINATION THAT UPHOLDS DEAD PEOPLE RATHER THAN CHRIST THE SAVIOUR ALIVE AND AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD.
@chris
Hi Chris, which denomination is the correct one to be saved?
@@idcchris9494 If you don't believe that the saints are alive in heaven then you haven't read the Bible:
Mark 12:26-27 (God of the living)
26 Now about the dead rising-have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’[a]?
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”
Matthew 27:52-53 (The saints are alive)
52 the tombs opened and the bodies of many holy people rose from the dead,
53 and these, after his resurrection, came out of the tombs, entered the holy city and appeared to a number of people.
Matthew 17:1-3 (The saints are alive)
1 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
2 There in their presence he was transfigured: his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as dazzling as light.
3 And suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them; they were talking with him.
Mark 9:2-4 (The saints are alive)
2 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain on their own by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured:
3 his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them.
4 Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus.
Luke 9:28-31 (The saints are alive)
28 Now about eight days after this had been said, he took with him Peter, John and James and went up the mountain to pray.
29 And it happened that, as he was praying, the aspect of his face was changed and his clothing became sparkling white.
30 And suddenly there were two men talking to him; they were Moses and Elijah
31 appearing in glory, and they were speaking of his passing which he was to accomplish in Jerusalem.
2 Corinthians 5:8 (Saints are alive & in heaven)
8.we are full of confidence, then, and long instead to be exiled from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
I am teaching "Catholic Religion" (as it is called in curriculum in Indonesia) subject at high school. I am an ex seminarian but not as eloquent as you when teaching the catholic faith doctrines. Your videos have helped me immensely. Love your delivery of content. God bless you my friend.❤
It’s always so fascinating to me to hear your previously Protestant point of view. It makes the disconnect so much easier to understand.
It isn’t helpful for me to have been raised in a completely and deeply theologically Catholic point of view between home and school. Catholicism has always been extremely rational to me because I was a very “but why???” child and my parents always explained the why’s and wherefore’s, as did the nuns who taught me. It was never “Because we say so!” A reasonable and compassionately human logical reason was always given.
I did study comparative religion in high school and college, but again I was approaching it from an entirely Catholic perspective. It was very difficult to understand how there could be what seemed to me completely out of context and illogical deductions made from the same scripture I’d been raised on.
You’re perspective of both sides of the debate has deepened my understanding and improved my ability to have patience and love when discussing theology with Protestant brothers and sisters.
Thank you brother Keith you have made my day. You are so enlightened, blessed and full of Holy Spirit. May our dear Lord Jesus Christ grant you all the graces and wisdom to continue to teach us the Catholic teaching . I really love your way of teaching. God bless you and protect you and your family. Love prayers 🙏 ❤
I love your delivery. You are not angry or ugly. Our faith is so rich and deep I am always amazed. Thanks for all you do. 🙏🙂🙏
You could have fooled me.....the anger was all over his demeanor, delivery and tone of his voice.
It sounded more like exasperation to me! Its difficult for Catholics to hear Protestants make these claims without knowing or understanding what the Church teaches. Especially when these arguments have been debunked for hundreds of years.
These videos are absolutely amazing. I am a previously Protestant Catholic teenager who has found myself under fire by friends and relations who tell me I am following a "Satanic" church and deviating from the bible. Throughout the last few weeks I have been using these videos to help myself be more confident in the Catholic faith as I want to be. Thank you so much for this opportunity to find the truth.
Thank you brother!
Come on Brother! Si alzerà fratello contro fratello, madre contro Figlia e figlio contro padre a causa del mio nome.
There's a great talk given by Dr. John Bergsma, also a convert to Catholicism. Pax Christi
So I grew up in a Protestant home, I went to Anglican churches and more charismatic churches for some years. I am now settled in a Bible focused Presbyterian Church that teaches the Word of The Lord faithfully and I have grown so much in my faith over the last two years. I have never ever considered Catholicism before, but after going to Mass followed by a talk at the Catholic chaplaincy last week, I can't ignore the pull that I'm feeling to find out more. My faith is everything to me and I want to love and serve God as much as I can, and seeing how much praise and devotion there was to the Lord during Mass has really ignited something. I am scared and overwhelmed by all of this as I worry that as a Catholic there isn't full assurance of your salvation and reading up about the necessity of the Reformation due to unbiblical practices in the Catholic Church (e.g. paying money to get out of penance) has confused me. I love my Church and I feel spiritually nourished when I go there, but I just can't shake this feeling. A lot of my friends are well read theologically and spend a lot of time looking into the context of passages and the history behind it, so why is it that they have theologically convictions that contradict Catholic beliefs/practices?
I have been watching Protestant to Catholic conversion testimonies and Catholic to Protestant conversion testimonies and both sound very convincing. Protestants would say Catholics take verses out of context but then Catholics would say that Protestants do, this is unsettling for me.
I want to ask more questions as this is something I've never explored before, but a lot of my Christian friends will worry for me and I'm just feeling very confused. If anyone has a similar story or has book recommendations I would love to hear them
Please read "Rome Sweet Home"
by Dr Scott Hahn"
Also read read Steve Ray…
When it comes to the "who is taking scripture out of context" question you need to look at the root of it: Who has the Authority to teach what the Bible means?
Protestants generally will say the Holy Spirit will guide me into truth, so all I need is the Bible... well after 500 years of that we see the results are a thousand different ideas with loads of disagreement about simple questions like "What must one do to be saved? or Does Baptism save you?" The Holy spirit is not a spirit of confusion.
Catholics have tradition and the magisterium along with the Holy Spirit to guide us. We have the writings of the students of the Apostles... these are the people who were taught by the original disciples of Christ. These people were taught and given authority to teach by the Apostles.
I would recommend Catholic Answers podcast or youtube channel.

Read the Catechism. It explains Catholic teaching in depth and references scripture and documents of where the teachings come from.
This is very good, and much-needed. Scriptural, concise, and powerful.
Beware of your false prophets. The ancient Church is the Church - the gates of hell will not prevail against it. All your preacher men combined in league will all the powers of hell will not prevail against it.
You always do it differently.... amazing explanation. You made me a deeper believing Catholic.
You are a gift to a Catholic faith bro❤️
you are mis lead. He has clearly twisted the truth. If you took the time to study the cultures of the eras and ages of the times concerning all of the Bible, you would understand more.

If only Protestants would hear humbly and with an open heart to Jesus, they would inevitably find the true Christian faith that has endured over 2,000 years of attacks, but they will never be able to destroy Jesus' Church, the Catholic Church.

Catholics are so blind. They will believe anything their priest, bishop or Pope, or even some apologist tells them.
It's obvious Catholics pray to objects made by the hands of men. They worship a piece of bread fashioned by the hands of men. Keep on reading John 6 (61-65) and you will find out that Jesus is in Heaven; moreover, you will learn about the Spirit versus the flesh from the words of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Keith tells his minions to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Have you ever read 841, the "Church's relationship with the Muslims" that states "the plan of salvation also includes...in the first place...the Muslims?:
Really??? The Muslims who deny Jesus Christ of Nazareth as the Son of God. The Muslims who deny Jesus' death and resurrection for the "sin of the world" (John 1:29) and who also deny Jesus as the Creator also have been granted salvation by the Catholic Church?
Speaking of blasphemy, the Catholic Church says God's "Sacred Scripture...cannot stand without" Rome's "sacred Tradition" or its "Magisterium" - i.e. the Pope and his bishops. And they, the Magisterium and sacred Tradition also "contribute effectively to the salvation of souls."
Really??? What did Peter say about the "name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth" and "no other name given among men under heaven" concerning "salvation" in Acts 4:10;12?
Flee from Catholicism before it's too late!!!
"It is clear therefore that, in the supremely wise arrangement of God, sacred Tradition, Sacred Scripture and the Magisterium of the Church are so connected and associated that one of them cannot stand without the others. Working together, each in its own way, under the action of the one Holy Spirit, they all contribute effectively to the salvation of souls."(CCC 95)
As a Catholic, who attended Catholic grade school, high school and a Jesuit university, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I love the verve with which you speak. Despite all of my education I am not as well versed in the Bible as you, and maybe it is wrong but when I have been laughed at and ridiculed by evangelical “Christians” for calling myself a Christian, I just turn and walk away rather than try to convince them otherwise. Thank you.
I was raised Catholic but became Christian, your videos help reinforce in me a confidence that I made the correct decision.
Did you believe you were not a a Christian when you were Catholic? I’m confused.
@@melissahillerhannah5810 Yes, I contend Catholics are not Christians.
John 19:28-30 "So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit."
Catholics believe there is more they need to do than believe in Jesus for salvation.
Catholics set out to establish their own righteous via the sacraments, communion, confession. A Christian knows that we all fall short (Romans 3:23) Therefore me adding anything of my own to the finished work of Christ is in effect denying what he accomplished is enough for my salvation.
Catholics will be among those in Mathew 7 21:23 attempting to establish a justification for their salvation. Not doing the will of the father which is (John 6:39-40) "And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day."

Keith, did you use any of these arguments before becoming Catholic? What's it like now doing the opposite? Although what u say now is correct, you must have had real conviction before. Have you ever found yourself still on the fence on a topic? Your faith is a lighthouse to me, I enjoy ur ministry!
I didn't use these arguments before. I just went along with the narrative. Once I started looking into it for real my views changed. I am not on the fence about any of these topics, but sometimes on things not defined (which is ok). Thanks for your kind words.

Mary was able through her intercession to get Jesus to perform his first public miracle even though He told His mother, "My hour has not yet come." That's power right there. The hand that rocks the cradle surely does rule the world.
I got chills when I read this, WOW! I alwasy pray for our Mother's intercession but this really opened my eyes to how The Word is Truth.
Saying the whole rosary ( all the four mysteries) is basically meditating on the whole new testament..
True. The mother of Solomon, Bathsheba interceded on behalf of Adonijah in 1 Kings 2:19.
@@annmary6974 - I tried to explain the Catholic experience to someone, especially the Rosary and I told them for Catholics it's Christmas and Easter every day. Every day we focus on God's gift and Christ's sacrifice.
Jesus loves his mother so much that He do what Mama want He to do. She is the chosen one by him himself. Mother Mary is the gift of GOD to mankind.
Nice video. God bless you, Keith. Continue your great work.
Come visit the Catholic church and notice that our way of worship is serious ....I remember visiting my wife's church ( Baptists)..I couldn't follow a thing of what was happening...after the service ...we had children playing around the altar....there was choir singing and I felt I was in a musical concert..
...so over all the church had nothing to offer me..
In the Catholic church we have the altar & blessed Sacrament
.....we have proper Liturgy🙏🙏🙏...come and feel the difference..
Love from India 🇮🇳..
I came into the Church during Easter Vigil in 2018. I'm now 77 and truly believe I was led by the Holy Spirit.
Thank you Keith! This was really good top 3 that i have heard protestants say to us. God bless you.
You should look up Dr. Bergsma's speech 🤠, you'll love it plus he's an outstanding theologian
Next, 5 bible verses that ACTUALLY destroy Protestantism
1. Against Sola Scriptural
a) John 21 :25
Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written
b) 2 Thessalonians 2:15
So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter
c) 1 Cor 11:2
1 Corinthians 11:2 : I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you.
2) Real presence of Jesus in John 6 :54
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.
3) Phil 2:12
continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling
Thanks! I gotta remember these.
Martin Luther was in hell suffered and tortured was an anti Christo during his era
Perfect! The verses that made me revert back 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
..... none of these poses a threat to Protestantism

Just watched this again . Very truthful and you make it so easy to understand . Thank you 🙏🏻
“Don’t put words in Saint Paul’s mouth” YES!! Most excellent video, Keith! Thank you!!
Yes, you're correct! I should have John. Mea Culpa!
Thank you Keith for those beautiful illustrations, you nailed it perfectly ❤
Great Video! It amazes me how much energy and efforts scores of evangelists, many protestants and lots of Islamists spend trying to deface and destroy the Catholic Church. I wish they would focus on their own "herd" and practice something called "love" and "respect" - If I remember well, this is something that our Lord Jesus preached over and over (and yes, Catholics do listen to and read the Bible). May God bless you all and thank you for these explanations, Ciao, L (Catholic Veteran, the kind that rediscovered his religious roots and prayers in a foxhole).
Perfect! Good clarifications & explanations on these topics. God Bless you Keith.
Oh my goodness! I clicked on this bc of the title & was prepared to be upset about someone telling me about “my Catholic beliefs” and I’m SO HAPPY & relieved that this was not that! God Bless You ❤
It's so sad to hear that you would rather not be told the truth if it goes against your beliefs but lies as long as they are smooth are acceptable and soothing to you. It was prophecied in the Bible 2 Tim 4 v3 "time will come when they will not endure sound doctrines. Exodus 32 v 7, 8 and 10.

@@nightshade99 Have you not heard the video?
@@nightshade99 if nothing else, Keith's Bible quotes are all correct and since that is the case It seems to me his arguments around those quotes must also be valid
i am between issues was looking for satisfaction in life felt empty in heart i am born and raise a catholic am 70 years old went to the other church looking for answers it was good for a time feel empty again please pray for me and family
Hi Keith you really inspire me to know more and strengthen my faith as a catholic member. May God continue to richly bless you in all your works🙏🙏❤❤.
I love this video. Keep these amazing videos comin’, Keith!
The Angel Raphael himself told tobit and sarah” Tobit 12:12 “ Tobit, when you and Sarah prayed to the Lord, I was the one who brought your prayers into his glorious presence. I did the same thing each time you buried the dead”. Thats why for me Intercessory prayer is true. God is about family and even sent Jesus to be our brother literally. James 5:14” the prayer of the righteous person is powerful and effective”.
Thank you Keith for this very logical clarification of some verses which I heard most often ti cast doubts on things I believe on my faith as Catholic. I thank Lord Jesus for giving us more information and clarification . Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom, as a guide in deepening our faith as Catholics. May God continue to shower more blessings to you and your family. We are sending our love and support for your mission as Catholic from the Philippines.
Nice one, I absolutely began to love this video , the more I listen. the more I love it and thank you my Brother in Christ , in Jesus name , Amen
Thank you so much. That is so kind of you.
Thanks Keith, this one really helped hammer in the final nails in the coffins of my linguring doubts 😊
Wow, great presentation. You are evangelizing to the modern masses. Deo gratias
My husband was raised Protestant and had never read his bible until recently. So I don’t understand when Protestants believe they all read or know the Bible more than Catholics. My mom said her aunt had Bible memorized by reading her Bible and going to daily Mass. Catholics will actually hear the Bible every 3yrs if they go to daily Mass. I love receiving our Lord daily “Give us this day our daily bread. “ Do not miss be a Protestant. Rather sad that I was misled by them for 25 yrs. Good people but missing so much.
Not only that, the protestant Bible is missing 7 books that Martin Luther took out.
@@barbarawilliams979
Not only that, but they say they're Bible only believers and claim the only way to salvation is the sinners prayer, which is no where in the Bible.
@@barbarawilliams979 I went to a Protestant college and also learned that he wanted to take out the book of James.
Most can't think beyond what they hear or even evaluate arguments.
@@alyce-kayruckelshaus1224 Martin Luther tried to remove more than 7 books. He also tried to remove along with James, Hebrews and Jude from the New Testament because they were not compatible with his teaching that salvation is by faith alone.
Good job, brother. Most of the objections to Catholicism are really a misapprehension of traditions that have been handed down through the ages. May the truth bring us all closer to Christ and unity in Him.
I was praying to Jesus in front of Mama Mary today. It makes me feel closer to Him.
🤔. Another Jesus 😢

Blessings from an Eastern Orthodox sister in Christ!!! Amazing video!
Sorry, sister, but what would you "orthodox" bless us heretics for? You should actually teach us, pray that we convert to the true Church (Orthodoxy). And perhaps call us "popists", I hear you use this term behind our backs🤠 Pax Christi
Great discuss. It helps us who are even Catholics. Kudos, brother
Thank You Keith. Your videos are enlightening.
Hi Keith, I just want to thank you for laying it all out for ordinary Catholics. This is pure Gold! We as Catholics practice our faith but also need to acknowledge that we need to memorise passages from the bible. Unfortunately I had an operation on my brain and my short term memory is affected, but, I’m going to write this stuff down and put it my wallet should I encounter the fellow Christian evangeliser, I’ll have the responses with me. Amen brother like your videos keep em going!
I just wanted to say, as you are very well versed with scripture and theology, have you ever considered becoming a deacon. You can preach to a congregation then, and even in the presence of a Bishop you have first priority to preach. I am considering it but I need people to pray for me.
“When Constantine founded the Catholic Church”…I love it! My wife and I often kid around with our teen daughters and say the same thing.
We also say when we buy a new statue for the house how we need to put it in a place where we can “worship” it properly.
You always hit it out of the park, brother! Preach on!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What do you say?

This was terrific Keith! Keep up the good work!
🤣 one of my favorite "RCC" bash is infant baptism. I wonder how many of the 5,000 men in Acts who were baptized in one day had babies and said, "please don't baptize my baby".
Acts 2:38-39 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off-for all whom the Lord our God will call.”--- baptism is part of our salvation and it’s gift to receive and a gift to give to our children.
I told an anti-Catholic that entire families were baptized. He told me the families didn't have babies and infants. I just started laughing. So ignorant and arrogant. Families in Biblical times didn't have babies/infants?? Did he personally see every single family to see there weren't any babies/infants?? I just said a prayer for him and moved on. For some people, you can only pray.
At that time there is no one called Christian. The apostles still need to convince people to be baptised who do you think they will going to convinced first? Those sleeping babies? Of course they need to convince the parents first because if the parents become a Christian so too the babies. Automatically! They should used their common sense or read bible some more.
Fact of the matter is, they were grown adult men who repented, turned from their sins and believed in the Lord Christ Jesus. It never would have occurred to them to ask for their babies to be baptized.
@@rolandovelasquez135 They didn't have to ask. They were taught to baptize their entire family into Christianity. There were no Evangelicals around back then to confuse anyone. It was only the Faith of the Apostles as taught by the Catholic Church.
I’ve often thought this . Very confusing . Thank you Keith 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Can't thank you enough my for enabling me to confidently to answer questions I have been unable to give answers to for decades. May the good Lord continue to shower you with lots of blessings.
Thank you for what you’re doing. Share your messages so that people can understand and come back.
God bless you Keith. One more: We ask Mary and the saints to pray for us because the Bible says that the prayers of the righteous are powerful and effective. (And who more righteous than Mary and the saints?) ❤
Excellent! May God bless you and your family 👉✝✝✝
Brother Keith, You were instrumental in my conversion to Catholicism and I've followed you from the start of my conversion. PLEASE do a video on the cultural differences that divide Catholics and Protestants in America. I think everyone, including Scott Hahn and Steve Ray overlook this important aspect. My family is from the Bible belt and there was so much Baptist culture inbred in me that converting to Catholicism was much more of an uphill battle within my family. I think you understand this. Protestants are used to Sunday school, Wednesday business meetings, potlucks, contemporary music, and full emersion baptism. Catholics, on the other hand, are into fish fry, Bingo, the Rosary, Adoration, and it's all about the Mass. The letters in Red could actually say "Be Catholic" and my father, the Baptist Deacon would not budge. I think it's largely because of the culture of the Catholic Church. You touch on this in your Convert's Guide to RCC, but I would love to see some videos discussing this.
Thanks for the kind words. I am working on some videos like this. Thanks for the encouragement
Thanks Keith for your thorough and eloquent video. When you have an opportunity, could you please do a deep dive into former Catholics getting into New Age. The ones who claim they are “Spiritual but not Religious” and claiming religion is the root of all evil.

FANTASTIC JOB! i TRY AND TRY TO TELL PROTESTANTS THESE TRUTHS BUT USUALLY GET NOWHERE. Hopefully the person I just sent this to will watch it and learn the TRUTH!
Protestants ate duped by satan
Great video! Hope to make videos like this when the time is right!
Many, many thanks for your videos. You are helping Catholic born people too. I like from Protestants their deep study of the Bible, which I have never seen from catholic priests (I am not from USA), so I am very grateful when a former Protestant pastor becomes catholic: you explain the Gospels. Thank you, and God bless you.
The argument for Exodus 20:4 is not only in the commandment itself but in the fact the Roman Catholic Church modified and then removed it from their Catechism!
If idolatry was justifiable, why remove it from the Catechism?
Catholics are lost because the Church has led them astray!
In Matthew 4:1-11, Jesus resisted the temptations of the devil by quoting Scripture three times, saying “It is written” (v. 4, 7, 10). He did not appeal to any other authority, but relied on the written word of God as his weapon and defense.
In Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus affirmed that he did not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets, but to fulfill them. He said that not the smallest letter or stroke of the pen would disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. He also warned that anyone who breaks or teaches others to break the least of the commandments would be called least in the kingdom of heaven. He showed his high regard for the authority and permanence of Scripture.
In Matthew 15:1-9, Jesus rebuked the Pharisees and the teachers of the law for nullifying the word of God by their human traditions. He quoted Isaiah 29:13, saying “These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.” He exposed their hypocrisy and their violation of the first commandment by elevating their traditions above Scripture.
In Matthew 22:23-33, Jesus corrected the Sadducees, who denied the resurrection of the dead, by appealing to Scripture. He said, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God” (v. 29). He then quoted Exodus 3:6, where God said to Moses, “I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” He argued that God is not the God of the dead, but of the living, and that the Scripture implies the resurrection of the patriarchs. He demonstrated his knowledge and interpretation of Scripture, and its relevance to the doctrine of the resurrection.
In John 5:39-40, Jesus challenged the Jews who searched the Scriptures, thinking that in them they had eternal life, but failed to recognize that the Scriptures testify about him. He said, “You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.” He revealed that the ultimate purpose and goal of Scripture is to point to him, the source of eternal life.
In John 10:34-36, Jesus defended himself against the charge of blasphemy by the Jews, who accused him of claiming to be God. He quoted Psalm 82:6, where God called the unjust judges of Israel “gods”. He argued that if those who received the word of God were called “gods”, how much more could he, whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, be called the Son of God. He said, “If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came-and Scripture cannot be set aside-what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world?” He affirmed the truth and authority of Scripture, and its witness to his divine identity.
These are some of the things that Jesus said about Scripture. He showed his respect and submission to Scripture, his understanding and application of Scripture, and his fulfillment and confirmation of Scripture. He also taught his followers to do the same, saying, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31-32).
Exodus 20:4 (LSB): 4 “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.
As a child this was most Christians argument against Catholicism thank you brother this really breaks it down. True saint god bless 🙏🙏🙏
Love, love, love this. Catholicism is truth. Thank you and God's blessings to you .
In Bible we cannot find the Word catholic, but we find Romans and gentiles, where did that word catholic come from???!! can anyone answer me?!
@@beatrizfernandes4695 St. Ignatius of Antioch is believed to be one of the first to use the word Catholic & he was martyred in 107, so at least by then. St. Ignatius was a disciple of Polycarp, St Polycarp was a disciple of St. John, the one with Jesus at his crucifixion
@@beatrizfernandes4695 on Pentecost 33 ad the day the Church was born the 12 Apostles spoke every language existing then. Meanjng the Church mission is iniversal!! Catholic in Greek . The Church is to teach to every creature in the wirkd" mandated by Jesus. There you gave it. In the year 108 the name Catholic appears for the first time!!!why does it jave to be written?
Acts 5:38- 3 9 where is that Church today???
I appreciate you for making clear the word catholic came into existence,Most of the followers,preachers,teachers, Apostles or Believers of Jesus Christ were martyred by the Romans and others, but whatever it is I believe what is written in the Bible, God bless you all ❤️🌷🕊️✝️🌹
@@beatrizfernandes4695 In the Bible we cannot find the word "bible" either. What is your point? In fact, there wasn't a Bible as we know it today until the very end of the 4th century when the Catholic Church determined, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Canon (list of books) to include as divinely inspired. What did the early Christians do without having Bibles to rely on? Most were illiterate anyway. They relied on the words and traditions handed down from the apostles to the first priests, bishops and popes! They went to Mass (usually in secret or underground), which had a very similar structure to the Mass we still celebrate today. Remember, Jesus taught, spoke and did more than can be held in all the books in the world and some of that was retained by his apostles and disciples and passed down from the very beginning.
I really enjoyed this. You make really good points. The reason I watched this video is because I thought I was going to defend my Catholic beliefs against another Catholic hater. I wanted to see what you had to say, then I would straighten you out. I was happily wrong. Thank you for defending our beliefs so well Keith.
Thank you Keith your videos are so enlightening
God bless you always
Greetings from Argentina
Excellent video! This is why the Church and the teachings of the Church as so paramount in understanding the context of Scripture.
Love the video
I'm going to guess you're on your third beer, Kieth. I'm on my third too, Brother. As Aquinas writes, "Wine is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy". Keep up the Good work.
LOL! I almost never drink beer any more. I’m a bourbon man but very sparingly.
Where do I start, were you on meth making this video? 1st of all I'm not your friend or brother, you don't know me, and 2nd of all what you claimed as Bible verses don't come close to the Bible I was issued as a freshman at Christian Brothers College Military Academy Preparatory College. And I used to run a print Christian ad agency, LPI of St. Louis, using trigger words such as we, our or us are used on the sheeple, and weakness term brother are used to get a programmed response from the cabbage heads. These tactics are used by the frankfurt school of political correctness on weak minds. It gets real simple real quick, if it weren't for Catholic Crusaders and Catholic knights, you would be kneeling 5 times a day facing mecca and praying to allah the devil. Where is your devotion and love to the Blessed Virgin Mary, a Hebrew from the house of David. Who I call brother is my only brother James, and I'm not Jesus and you aren't my brother.
