Lol that quote actually agrees with what Mike Gendron is saying. The Catholic cult defies the scriptures at every turn and contradicts every single Biblical doctrine.
aquinas was the goof who taught contrary God's Command about coveting, supporting theft for 'common good'. this is just a cop out , since Scripture exposes stooges like aquinas.

yet you do not have to, you are like muslims demanding a christian show where in the bible Jesus said i am God, worship me. Through the actions you show the sacrifice of our Lord is not enough, there is no need to more than 1 sacrifice.
According to Catholicism, Jesus was not the all sufficient savior. Every Sunday you need to partake of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ which is the same sacrifice as on the cross. CCC 1367: “The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice: "The victim is one and the same: the same now offers through the ministry of priests, who then offered himself on the cross; only the manner of offering is different." "And since in this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and is offered in an unbloody manner. . . this sacrifice is truly propitiatory." And if you do not, you can not have salvation according to Catholicism CCC 1129: “The Church affirms that for believers the sacraments of the New Covenant are necessary for salvation. So according to Catholicism, Jesus can not atone for all your sins. 1 John 1:7: “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” Transubstantiation is a heretical doctrine. In the Catechism CCC 1374-1378, it is believed that the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ is truly in Eucharist. Catholics take John 6:53 literally and that is why the Catholic Church came up with this doctrine that every Sunday u sacrifice Jesus again and take him down from Heaven and take his flesh and blood and eat and drink it. But there is no flesh or blood in Heaven. 1 Corinthians 15:50. Jesus was sacrificed once and for all. Jesus did not endorse cannibalism. Jesus’s blood was not shed yet at the last supper. Jesus turned water into wine John 2:9 not wine into his literal blood. Jesus said these things I say to you are Spirit and life. John 6:63. Hebrews 10:10,12,14. The priests keep doing sacrifices every week like but it is not sufficient nor necessary Hebrews 10:11. To think that for 1250 years only 12 people had life in them is preposterous. It is symbolic. Jesus said he is the bread of life. John 6:35. Jesus said he is the door. John 10:9. Jesus said man shall not live by bread alone. Matthew 4:4. Jesus said give us this day our daily bread. Matthew 6:11. Jesus is not saying we have to eat bread everyday or only bread. Jesus is saying it as Spiritual food, not physical food. Jesus gave it as physical food to the Israelites back then but not now. Now it is and it has always been Spiritual. Transubstantiation according to Catholicism is, “When the priest announces the words of consecration, he reaches up into the heavens, brings Christ down from His throne, and places Him upon Our altar to be offered up again as the Victim for the sins of man It is a power greater than that of saints and angels. The priest speaks and lo! Christ, the eternal and omnipotent God, bows his head in humble obedience to the priest's cornmand”-Priest John O’Brien. Catholicism is a religion and they preach religion, not relationship with Jesus. Read God’s word, not man’s word. God bless. Repent and trust in Jesus
I’m glad to be Catholic, Jesus has been a very good to me, he has saved me so many times. Appeared to me in a dream and told me to pray pray pray and since I have confirmed my entire life has changed. I no longer worry and Jesus takes all my worries. Jesus is real, and many stories to prove it. Jesus is the light the way and the truth and the only way. Don’t be fooled by people who speak against Jesus ❤ Jesus loves you all too and will help you too. As the Bible says ask and you will receive. Believe Jesus is real and died on the cross for your sins. Accept him as your savior, the light the way and the truth
@Aoife Oherlihy, Do you have ABSOLUTE assurance that when you die you will go to heaven? Have you done enough works to enter into heaven when you die? How many "good works" do you have to do to go to heaven? How will you know that your "good works" will out way your "bad works?" Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God not of works lest anyone should boast. What work can you boast of that qualifies you to go to heaven? Titus 3:4-5 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to His mercy He has saved us through the washing and renewing of the Holy Spirit He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior. What will happen to you if you sin before you die and you can't get to a priest to confess your sins? Do you go to hell? 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and One Mediator between God and man the Man Christ Jesus who gave Himself a ransom for all. What is the number of works you have to do to receive forgiveness and go to heaven?
Mgirl h, with all the love in my heart I advise you to get a Bible. We are given the opportunity to complete the divine mercy each year which is a 9 day novena, confession and body of Christ on divine mercy day. Get the divine mercy handbook, very powerful on advice. We still have to try do our best to avoid sinning and ask god to make us righteous with peace to help us. I was living an earthly life up until recently. Jesus loves every single one of us. He wants a personal relationship with all of us through the power of the Holy Spirit. When you pray go to your secret place, IE room, close your door, pray in secret, after meditate in 15 mins either in silence or go into worship. Be careful what TH-cam/ internet channels you subject yourself to, some are very negative and can influence us negatively causing fear and unnecessary stress.

These things are *not in the Bible and are unbiblical, the catholic church added these things in with there doctrines and traditions they changed Gods word.

Gedron openly and explicitly condemns the early Church Fathers as "apostates" because they sound too Catholic.Why is it not more plausible that Gedron does not understand Christian history and is therefore blinded by prejudice. The result of this is a distorted and narrow version of the Gospel and the Church, an ahistorical, unorthodox dogma.

We don't worship any other gods. What you've said is slander and a lie and God will surely punish you for such disgusting vile and Satanic rhetoric.
Do they claim it? No. However, saying that salvation requires anything else besides the blood of Christ, is saying that the blood of Christ is not enough.
@@stevesteveson2537Yes, Jesus opened the door to Salvation for us, but if we go by what you’re saying, then proclaiming “I believe in Jesus” will save you which is absolutely wrong. By _just_ saying you believe in Jesus you also need to believe in him in both your heart and spirit which means you have to live a Godly life and to participate in his works. Just saying you believe in Christ’s sacrifice without making your own effort in the faith just seems like one huge contradiction. Yes, believing in Christ is “enough” to be saved, but doesn’t mean you will be saved. Jesus did not appreciate luke warm Christians who never made an effort to come closer to God. Faith and works are one and the same. By participating in the sacraments you are proclaiming your faith to both the world and God. I follow the train of thought that works aren’t 100% necessary to receive salvation, but ignoring them entirely you open yourself open to live a less Godly life as following the sacraments makes your life revolve around Christ and Christ alone.
Confession and purgatory are catholic beliefs, or lies, that prove that catholics deny the Finished work of the cross. Catholics believe that THEIR works will be the finishing touch, because the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus is not enough.
Confession and purgatory both deny what Jesus accomplished on the cross. Catholics DO claim that the death and resurrection of Jesus died is insufficient for salvation. A catholic lie. Confession and purgatory are also catholic lies

He wasn’t baptized, and he sinned all his life. Did Jesus lie to him when he told him he will be with him in heaven? What good works did the thief do to “earn” salvation?
Goodness, the amount of misunderstandings of the Catholic faith here are just mind-boggling. Lord have mercy on his ignorance and spreading falsehood against his Christian brethren!
A religion manufactured by Constantine and the Council of Nicea. Roman Catholicism is a violent blood cult. There is no spirituality in it. They do not speak of higher dimensions, consciousnesses, and entities. They do not speak of the Annunaki and the Elohim.
Everything he said is true. Not recognizing what Christ did is shameful. Looking to a pope for answers is wrong. Jesus, God, and the Homy spirit are what you look towards.

As a former Roman Catholic I agree with most of this. The Catholic Church always adds to the Word of God: they constantly reference and tell people to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC). I also do not understand why they have images and statues of Jesus and Saints when the Bible says not to have any of those things for the things above. I also don’t understand why priests are called Father when the Bible says no one except God should be called that. And why does the Catholic Church not allow anyone except true Catholics to receive communion? That is a man made law by the Church. It does not come from the Word of God.
You cannot receive communion if You do not believe what' the catholic faith teaches it wouldnt make sense My friend . And God does not forbid images he forbids idols false gods and worshiping them like they egyptians they had many false gods see exodus 25 God himself tells Moses to make images18 "Make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. 19 Put one cherub on each end of it. Make the cherubim as part of the cover itself. 20 The cherubim must have their wings spread up over the cover.

May the Lord continue to expose the lies of this false religion and wake up His elect that have been deceived by this false doctrine.
It amazes me how many former Catholics don't know Catholic theology at all. But it shouldn't surprise me since most current Catholics don't either. Ones who know the authentic teaching of the Church don't leave the fullness of truth. But we need to do a better job of catechizing our own members. Sorry Mr. Gendron doesn't understand what he left behind.
Ι am amazed as well about Catholics not knowing theology, but the majority of Post Reformation Christians are just as ignorant of the Scriptures as the Roman Catholics. The comments on the above video convey a message that Baptisims are not needed, in Early Christianity not being Baptized was the exception, not the rule, for those who know how to properly read the Bible in light of Apostolic Teachings, recognize that the Sacrament of baptism is an important part of one's Salvation, Baptism is very important! I am saddened when I see Bible believers picking and choosing what Scriptures to believe, often out of context! I often hear people say that God poured out his wrath on Jesus during the crucifixion. This Theology is nothing less than a butchering of Ancient Apostolic Christianity. There are no such supporting documentations in the Scriptures or Apostolic Teachings for God pouring out his “ὀργῆς” wrath/anger on Jesus? As one who believes fully in the Scriptures, I am troubled by this blatant disregard for Scriptural and Apostolic integrity in Western Fath Groups. I feel we should never add eisegetic commentary to The Holy Scriptures, sadly, the misuse of Scriptures is running rampant in the world. A Point about misuse, as I read the Bible an hour ago, I noticed the word baptism. I am truly at a loss for words, How so many Post Reformation groups overlook the actual words of Jesus, “Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” Matthew 28:19. Maybe Protestants should leave the Roman Catholics alone and work out their own Salvation, Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
John 3:5-7 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him." Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. "Do not marvel that I said to you, "You must be born again.' "...for you have been born again [that is, reborn from above-spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose]..." 1 Peter 1:23, Amplified Bible "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household." Acts 16:31 "And immediately he and all his family were baptized...and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household." Acts 16:33-34 "He who believes and is baptized will be saved..." Mark 16:16 "Repent and be baptized, every one of you..." Acts 2:38 Jesus is the founder of the Church 26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. We are saved in Jesus Christ through Faith Alone, Grace Alone in Christ Alone "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 And it’s because we have the Holy Spirit and we know of his loves that’s what it means by faith without works is dead. We do it because we love him and we love our brothers and sisters not because we are trying to bribe our way into heaven
Oh. So now I am stupid if I don't fall for Catholic lies? Paul warned us about you backslidden pagan cultsts. Jesus rejected Mary on multiple occasions. You have celibate priest and fish fridays. Now read 1 Timothy 4 4 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.
The statement on the screen at 8:15 is incomplete. Part of the original statement is not included. Quoting what the C.C. states while choosing to show only a part of the statement is a trick used by deceivers. Why not include the rest of it?

Thank you guys for doing excellent work spreading the truth. There isn’t a single scripture that shows Peter exercising authority over the apostles. He was not a Pope. Peter called himself an elder which is a pastor. *1 Peter 5:1* If he was a pope, he wouldn’t self-identify as a pastor.
This is why I do not call the leader of the catholic religion "pope". The word "pope" means father or "pater" in Latin. He is most certainly not my father, in any way shape or form. GOD tells us in the Word to call no one father, perhaps because He knew that the leader of the catholic faith will be called that by billions of ill-informed people, globally.
I'm a bit confused. If Catholics added the Apocrypha to the Bible at the Council of Trent in 1563 so that they could use it to invent purgatory and the selling of indulgences, how could Luther have protested against Catholics believing in purgatory and the selling of indulgences in 1517?
The reason Trent happened was to redefine catholic doctrine. It was held to respond to the reformation. It's a false gospel. They make up rules that are not biblical. They added the apocryphal books to justify some of their behaviors.
This is all false. They are the ones who took out these books smh. The books were 73 original books since 4th century and Martin Luther came in the 16th century years and years later and try to change it., They are liars.
@JodyHendrawan It has the history and dates on the timeline over centuries of roman leaders changing doctrine, after the council of Trent the Church could no longer be called the one true church that the apostles and Christ wanted , this is when the Church brought in there unbiblical doctrines sacraments ,-pennants, purgatory, they changed Gods word. I was a Catholic for 20 years ago and thank GOD everyday for showing me the truth. This is about where you will be spending eternity when you die, your salvation you only get 1 chance dont you want to make sure your getting the truth. I dont know what deception your talking about, if you think were lying all you need to do is check, theres a hundred different sites with the bible and scripture.
He also said to cut your hand and pluck your eyes out if they made tou sin. That's for law keeping unbelievers, who try to work out their own righteousness, not for the saved members of his body, the Church, who accepted the free gift of salvation. We know we cannot keep the law, that's how we know we need Jesus.
I learned years ago that Catholicism is wrong, they're essentially Pharisees. Anyone that tells you that you must confess your sins to a mere man to be forgiven is a liar. Jesus Himself said that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He also commanded that we follow Him, not man. Scripture also tells us that only He can forgive sin and the only mediator we have is Jesus Himself. "Come to me who are burdened and heavy ladened for I will give you rest" Jesus' words.
Does scripture tell us this? John 20:22 21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you!

When the Lord was crucified in AD 33 approximately 3% of the population of the Holy Land (Palestine) were literate (could read). Mass literacy in society only came about in the 15th century when Gutenberg (a German Catholic) invented the printing press. The printing press facilitated the mass transmission of reading material including the Bible.
For over 200 years anyone the catholic church caught with a bible (eg Tyndale) was burnt alive, the catholic church tried to suppress the public having access to the scriptures which previously was only available read in church in latin.

There are three things in particular I don't get about RC: (1). the notion that one cannot (or should not) enjoy a personal relationship with God/Jesus but rather must go through a mortal mediator (priest); (2). all the prayers to Mary, another mortal; and (3). the notion that the Pope is a living descendant of the Apostles when popes and priests are forbidden to procreate. Point (1). contradicts Jesus Himself, Point (2). also has no Biblical basis, and Point (3). simply does not make logical sense.
As for Mary, we ask her to pray for us the same way we ask any other person to pray for us. She is the greatest woman who has walked this earth. We do not worship her, and we Catholics maintain a distinction between prayer and worship. Worship entails sacrifice, and that is offered solely to God. We do not offer the sacrifice at mass to Mary, we offer it to God. She should be venerated and she serves as a reminder that Jesus is fully human and that He came to this world through the greatest of the feminine side of humanity. As for popes, you are misunderstanding when we say “succession”. Apostolic succession has absolutely nothing to do with procreation. It has everything to do with appointing and ordaining a successor and this concept is not unique to Roman Catholicism. Peter, for example, had consecrated Clement of Rome, one of the Apostolic Fathers, as a bishop and he later became pope. The Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Old Catholics also follow this practice for their own bishops, and this is why we Roman Catholics actually distinguish them as “churches” and not “ecclesial communities”. Just as we Roman Catholics see our Pope as the successor to Peter, the Eastern Orthodox see their Ecumenical Patriarch as the successor to Andrew, and generally we do recognise the validity (though not liceity) of each others’ succession. Even the firmly protestant Anglicans have apostolic succession for bishops, though we Roman Catholics consider theirs invalid due to a lack of intent and substance as determined in Apostolicae Curae. Also as a side note, some Eastern Catholic jurisdictions under the Roman Catholic Church do allow married priests.
@@saldol9862 paragraph 1 -- there is absolutely ZERO in Scripture supporting we pray to the dead. there is nothing in Scripture showing she is anything other than dead -- Heb 9:27 Mary isn't Deity, she was a sinner as we are now. and we only ask people who are alive and physically here to pray for us. or do you pray to Moses, Enoch and Elijah -- since they are shown to be resurrected and translated? paragraph 2 -- 'popes' are demonic and not at all Christian. thanks for reading!
1: This isn’t true. I have a personal relationship with the Lord and I’m not even Catholic yet. The priest is meant to help you in your relationship with Jesus. II: We don’t pray to Mary in the sense that we think she can grant prayers, she can’t because she’s not God. We ask her to pray for us to God, because just like Enoch and Elijah she is with her Son. III: This is a funny one, when I first started to look into the Church; I was confused. What it really means is that Peter ordained (not fathered-if you hear fathered it means in the spiritual sense) Peter 2, Peter 2 ordained Peter 3, etc etc until we get to the current Pope. None of this contradicts Scripture, the Apostles founded a Church because of Jesus.
@@tony1685 1: No; there is. We hear about the “prayers of the saints” in Revelation. Mary literally gave birth to God in the flesh, she’s more important than any saint (Jesus is obviously way more important.) Mary is NOT God. She could never be God. She wasn’t a sinner, because then Jesus would have inherited sin, which would have made Him insufficient as a perfect sacrifice. She is alive in Heaven. She cannot grant our prayers, but can only ask God to grant them. You could *ask* Elijah to pray *for you.* 2: Zero proof for this.
As usual he’s created a caricature out of Catholic teaching. None of this is Catholic teaching- but also it is a weak Protestant refutation of Catholic teaching. Come again sir.
These conversations teach me that if you get people when they’re vulnerable you can make them believe anything no matter what new information is provided
This video would make the Lord so sad. I would strongly encourage people to read the Catholic Catechism to determine what the Church teaches. Almost everything Mike says defies the actual Catholic teachings. I would also encourage you to read the early Church fathers. You will see that virtually everything Mike says is false.
I would encourage you to read the Word of God. Then you will understand why the catholic church is the highway to hell. catholics deny what Jesus has accomplished and think that their own works will get them to Heaven. Their own works will get them to hell. The Bible says that We are saved by Grace through Faith, and this not of yourselves it is the Gift of God -- NOT BY WORKS, so that no one can boast.
The Catholic Catechism and the writings of the early Catholic Church fathers doesn't carry any weight with Protestants. You need to give them chapter and verse from the Holy Bible if you want to change minds.
“…They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them” 1John 4:3 Sounds like the Catholic Church trying to conform to the world and say what the world wants to hear.
Your description is that of Protestantism, which continues to change & break away. The Catholic Church has been around since the beginning. Protestantism arose some 1500 years too late to be the Church.
The complete paragraph: "The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice: "The victim is one and the same: the same now offers through the ministry of priests, who then offered himself on the cross; only the manner of offering is different." "In this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and is offered in an unbloody manner." (CCC1367)
As the New Testament clearly elucidates, Communion was provided to honor the memory of Christ's suffering for us in offering up His body for our salvation. It also states there is one divine sacrifice for redeeming our sins on the cross and no other and then it was finished, not wherein another is continually performed by a priest where "the manner of offering is different." We are not commanded to worship the 'Host' in the same way we worship Christ in prayer. That is not biblical.
@@alwilson3204 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, ‘Take and eat; this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.’ (Matthew 26:26-28) Whosoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. - (John 6:56). On the night before He suffered and died on the cross, Jesus shared a last meal with His disciples and instituted the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. Each time we go to Mass, we prayerfully participate with the priest who celebrates what Jesus did at the Last Supper. Acting in the person of Christ, the priest consecrates the bread and wine and it is changed, by the power of the Holy Spirit, into the body and blood of Christ. This change is called transubstantiation. The transformed bread and wine are not merely symbols. They continue to look like bread and wine but they are not; the substances change. They truly are the Body and Blood of Christ. Jesus is present to us in many ways, in his Word, in the poor, when two or more are gathered in prayer, and in the Sacraments. But only in the Holy Eucharist is He uniquely present - Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. This is what we mean by the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. The consecrated bread and wine remain the Body and Blood of Christ, even after Mass when some of the consecrated bread has been reserved for other uses, such as for distribution to the dying or the sick, or for adoration when it is exposed in the Rite of Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction. The Blessed Sacrament is kept in the tabernacle, which is why it is customary to genuflect before the tabernacle when in its presence. By dying on the cross, Jesus sacrificed for our sins. Through the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, we are joined to that sacrifice and receive its benefits. At the Last Supper, Jesus took bread and said, “This is my body.” He took the wine and said, “This is the cup of my blood.” Think about that the next time you are at Mass. Jesus is now truly present on the altar. Think about it, too, as you return to your seat after receiving the Holy Eucharist. You now have Jesus Christ inside you!
@@savedbygrace8337 In a very literal sense we have fully God thru Jesus Christ in us. Jesus is fully God and fully man at the same time. If not, then only Islam can call the Roman Catholic Church a false religion because they fully understand that Jesus is a prophet and not God at the same time. You must be familiar with the Islamic phase, "a catholic invention." That phase is Islamic in nature and those who say this phase call God Allah.
Jesus came down to earth and was crucified as absorption for our sins. The Bible shows the past present and further events. He knew he was going to be crucified and did it sinless to save humanity. Accept Jesus as your savior and get a Bible. Jesus is amazing ❤️
@@debbiemartin2026 Please go back to God's Word; He has already answered you in the very next verse. Our good works are a gift from God. If faith does not make the attonement insufficient because it is a gift from God, then our good works do not make the attonement insufficient because they are also a gift from God.
No wonder if one passes from little knowledge to total ignorance. Some people think that they will be saved according to the church to which they belong and do not realize they put in jeopardy their own faith; leaving a doctrine to embrace a new one will only increase uncertainty and weakness. Moreover, catholic doctrine doesn't fit with idleness.

Catholicism is not Christianity ✝️ When you learn the truth, you will be made free. I did some studying and I found that many of their doctrines are misinterpreted. It’s shocking how erroneous their doctrines are. I’ve given you all of the answers you’ll need. I’ve listed several specific things that you’ll need to diligently study if you’re Catholic. -------------------- Peter self-identified as an elder, not a pope. An elder is a pastor. **1 Pete 5:1** And now, a word to you who are elders in the churches. I, too, am an elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ. And I, too, will share in his glory when he is revealed to the whole world. As a fellow elder, I appeal to you: Matthew 16:18-19 is misinterpreted and this is shown in Matthew 18:18 as Jesus reiterates the same thing to all disciples. The Petrine theory is false. -------------------- - Antithetical books taught as doctrine that are contradictory to the Bible is apostasy. ****1 Timothy 4:1**** Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. -------------------- - Forbidding clergy to marry is apostasy. ****1 Timothy 4:3**** who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. -------------------- • Adding church doctrines, especially doctrines that uniquely serve the context of a church’s teachings and political purposes of a church is apostasy and it’s forbidden. ****Deuteronomy 4:2,**** ****Galatians 1:6-7****. A church can’t interpret a scripture and ignore the fact that their interpretation contradicts other scriptures. ****Mark 7:7**** Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. -------------------- • We have a new ministry in the new covenant. ****Ephesians 4:11****. Christ did not send out any officiating new covenant high priests, or parish priests. ****Ephesians 4:11**** So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers • God does not show favoritism ****Romans 2:11**** -- there is no evidence in the scriptures that the church was built on a human. We do not have a human pope to guide us. We are led by the indwelling of the Spirit. ****Acts 1:5**** -------------------- • The scriptures show no differences in the apostles. ****Equality amongst the apostles**** “Ye are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone. ****Ephesians 2:20**** “And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.” ****Revelation 21:14**** • Peter was no different than the others. We can see here in ****Revelations 21:14**** that Peter was still an apostle, not a pope. John saw a vision of the New Jerusalem, so if Peter was a pope, John would have said I saw the foundation of the city walls in layers of 11 apostles and the one pope. -------------------- - The Rock of the church is spiritual, not physical. There is only one Rock. ****1 Corinthians 10:4**** and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. -------------------- • Mary nor the saints can hear prayers. There’s only one mediator in heaven between God & Man. No scriptures show that the 24 elders hear prayers. ****1 Timothy 2:5**** For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, -------------------- • All Christians are saints. ****Philippians 1:1**** Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: -------------------- • All Christians are priests. We are living stones being built in a spiritual house on a spiritual Rock. You can approach God for forgiveness yourself. ****1 Peter 2:5**** Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. -------------------- • The doctrine of original sin is not biblical or found in the scriptures at all. Water baptism cannot remove sins. By the shedding of blood is there remission of sins. Adam sinned but adding the terminology of “original sin” is not biblical. ****Hebrews 9:22**** In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. -------------------- • Every Christian is supposed to study and read the Bible for themselves. ****Acts 17:11**** ****Ephesians 3:4**** As you read what I have written, you will understand my insight into this plan regarding Christ. ****Psalm 119:15**** I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways. -------------------- • In order to receive salvation, we must all repent and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior. We need no new antithetical AD prophet church bibles, no man-made doctrines, no priests, no infallible magisterium, no Vatican, no communion of saints, no catechisms, no Marian dogmas, no transubstantiation, no other God(s), no idolatry, no prosperity gospel, no blessed prayer cloths, no added rituals, no antithetical traditions, no Eucharist, no veneration of Mary, no long list of good works, no water baptism regeneration, no sacrament of reconciliation, no rosary, no pope, no papacy, no apostolic succession, and no church dogmas, but *only* by grace through faith are we saved. Christ is enough! ****Ephesians 2:8**** "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast". -------------------- - I’m not against any church. I’m against people who are being misled and deceived. A church that has stood for several centuries must still teach sound doctrine. Any church that is built on false doctrine leads people astray. That church is no longer fertile grounds for the development of the body of Christ. - I know this information can be heavy so I pray for your healing. I also pray that you will see the truth in God’s word. Study. In Jesus’s name, Amen. 💜💜
@@redbird9000 Scripture is the written Tradition (or Teaching) of the apostles collected and authorized by the Church, “the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone” (Ephesians 2:20). The Holy Spirit-as the Source of truth-inspired the Holy Apostles to write, the Holy Church to canonize, and its Holy Tradition to interpret the Holy Bible. Scripture, Tradition, and the Church-these three agree as one, inspired by the one Holy Spirit, and together bear witness to the one Faith, for “a threefold cord cannot be easily broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:12). “Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses… remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct” (Hebrews 12:1; 13:7). The Holy Spirit and the Holy Church, the Bride of Christ, say, “Come… Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed… sharing in the body of Christ. For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread [Christ Jesus]” (Revelation 22:17; Proverbs 9:5; 1 Corinthians 10:16-17).

@@IoannesVI There’s no such thing as a true church in the sense that they try to make you believe. Catholics don’t study because they believe that the sacraments and the rituals that they’re participating in is equal to God‘s word. So the “true church” thing sounds like the right path to them. I’ve given you the answers you need to study. Do your due diligence and open your eyes! There are no omnipresent humans in heaven who can hear prayers.

"There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be." Venerable Fulton Sheen
Even if we don’t get the religion right we can still be saved, we have a fair and just God, we can make the assumption that he judges based on our knowledge. If you disagree with this you have to then ask about lives in other countries, who can’t worship our God, do you think our God would let them into hell if they were never exposed to Jesus?
The Roman Catholic Church omits Commandment #2 (Do not make idols). Then they split #10 in two, to make #9 and #10. Isn't that subtracting from the Word of God?
The splitting of the veil established we all have access to god through his son, none come through the father but through the son,it did not say you have to go through a priest, through Mary then through Jesus then to God.
Its interesting that Jesus saves his harshest critisism towards religious institutions. When you are part of such an institution you are blinded to the truth. Fortunately, the truth is only found in one person and this truth will set you free. Jesus said that He is the way, the truth and the life. No person is able to come to the father unless he comes through Jesus. Anyone who thinks he can come to God through an institution and their man made structures needs to stop in their tracks and re-evaluate their position immediately. I pray for you and me.
That’s a bold move to say reject the thoughts and teaching of St Thomas Aquinas on the blessed nature of Mary and her intercessory role. I do like the counterpoints though, even if each of them grossly misunderstandings of Catholic teaching, He clearly loves Jesus though, and I commend him on defending his position as he sees it, in defence of Jesus and the Father
@@duckymomo7935 the brain snapping move by people like you to reject Mary, the Mother of God, who the angel said was Full of Grace is heartbreaking. What then of the Saints who were raised by God when Jesus was resurrected? Yourself, have you never gone to your mother seeking some sort of intercession to your own father? Don’t you see it as a sign of respect for the most exalted fully human that ever lived? Catholics don’t worship her, we worship Jesus. We pray to Jesus, but we also recognise that Mary is such a pivotal person who is in heaven with our Lord, she is to be exalted as the Saints are, and we seek her intercession with her Son as a sign of utter respect I don’t get why you discredit her so. Would you show the same disrespect to your own mother? Astounding !!!
@@eddiej9733 Dude. Stop it. Jesus himself rejected Mary. On more than one occasion too! Please read the real Bible. Come on parrot Matthew 12:48-Jesus' Mother and Brothers 46 While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers[a] stood outside, asking to speak to him.[b] 48 But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” Luke 11:27-28True Blessedness 27 As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” 28 But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” 1 Timothy 4 4 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.
@@eddiej9733 Parrot. Please pay special attention to the Matthew 12 passage I shared. Now I will explain it to you. Mary is OUTSIDE. Just like one of the virgins in the parable, who forgot to refill her lamp and was thus shut OUTSIDE and the door was not opened to her. Now leave your cult immediately. Save as many people as you can, take them with you out of the backslidden pagan cult, who burn incense to the queen of heaven.
@@br.m on the contrary. Both Matt12:48 and Luke 11:27 are examples of Jesus using the benchmark of his mother and spiritual brothers as benchmarks for what we should attain by believing in Him. He used Her as an example of the regard the Lord will have if they believe. These verses are an affirmation of Mary’s special place. But that Jesus is concerned primarily with the salvation of every soul. I can understand a Christian to have a largely benign regard for Mary, on account of say having done little research into what great Christian minds have thought and taught since the earthly time of the Lord, but to specifically denigrate Mary and Jesus’ regard for Mary is the sign that we are offered doctrines of demons in these days. Again, I stress that I’m not talking about the worship of Mary. Let’s take that off the table for once and got all. Veneration is a totally different thing.
Purgatory started in 600 AD that’s how. They built the Vatican and became rich! 2 Corinthians 11 Satan disguises himself as an angel of light even his ministers appear as ministers of righteousness! Thank you Jesus for setting me free from this ungodly religious system!!!!!
Yes, I hate all these religious denominations. It’s only there to divide. God’s kingdom has no denomination! It’s so sad that these people don’t understand the falsehood of their own religion. All I did was read the Bible and found MANY contradictions and left and found the truth
The problem lies in Peter's successor and not Peter as Bishop. Linus was only mentioned by Irenaeus in the 2cnd century and in the First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians many Bishops were appointed in Chapter XIX: 4.
I don't know if you are Catholic or not, but actually, the issue lies in the fact that we are comparing apples to oranges. The first century church structure is not apparent in the same way that the 21st century church is structured. You can't expect to see the papacy in the first century as easily as we see it today. Another thing, many ancient records were likely lost and didn't survive to the present day, but we have enough that did survive for us to demonstrate that there was a leadership structure in place in the first few centuries, with the Bishop of Rome being the primacy over all the churches. It's a very weak argument for those (not saying you are) who claim there was no papacy in Peter's time because he was never called the pope in the Bible.
Catholicism was the way to guarantee salvation, all its doctrines directly from Sacred Scripture. Now, you only follow 1 percent on what the bible says to be saved.
@@Henry-eh2jk haha. Now I know you’re ignorant. Jesus founded a visible church, a congregation of believers which today are the Catholic and Orthodox churches. Who founded your church? I bet at your church all you do is drink coffee and watch some skinny hipster on stage play guitar. What a travesty to the Divine Majesty! Lol
we already repented and with christ. it's better you and ur american evengelical pastors wrry about yourselves> once saved always saved is a heresy straight from hell..
He says that Catholicism requires that you keep the law perfectly. He's lying, never have I heard the word perfectly used save for when describing God and Jesus Christ. When it is said that we should keep the law, it is meant to keep it as best as we can. When we fail, we go to confession. If keeping the law perfectly is an absolute requirement, then why would the Church offer confession? We accept that we're all sinners, thus we go to confess our sins. If the Church demanded perfect adherence to God's law, by going to confession we would all be admitting to failure in that regard, essentially excommunicating ourselves by admitting not having kept God's law perfectly.
CONFESSION TO A HUMAN IS HERESY AS EVERY PERSON CAN COMMUNICATE WITH JESUS. THE POPE IS NOT NEEDED. ONGOING FORGIVENESS BY ANOTHER SINFUL PERSON LIKE THE POPE OR PRIESTS IS HERESY. JESUS WORK WAS FINISHED ON THE CROSS AND THIS IS NOT NEEDED AND ONLY SERVES TO KEEP CATHOLICS IN THE POWER OF THE FAKE INTERCESSOR THE POPE,
Trust and keep faith in what you believe! Criticizing someone's believe is the root cause of all deaths in the modern world! The lord knows who is a true believer and who is not! Keep your belief and thinking to yourself!
Just wanted to point out that what I learned from Protestants who became Catholic and Catholics who became Protestant. It can be quite revealing. I have yet to meet a former Catholic who actually understood their former faith (again, bad catechesis). And almost every Catholic I've met who used to be Protestant has been a practical encyclopedia of both Protestant and Catholic theology. Some of the biggest names in Catholic apologetics are former Protestant pastors. Unfortunately, Mike Gendron falls into the category of not being properly educated in his former Catholic faith and then spread this false information to those who don’t know better. My advice to anyone who truly wants to follow Christ is to go watch a conversion testimony of former Protestant who became Catholic (there’s literally thousands of videos) and then ask yourself why so many educated leaders of the Protestant community have converted?
Another observation I would like to add is you'll notice that Protestants who converted from the Catholic faith always seem to have bad experiences and have nothing but bad things to say of their former faith. On the other hand, Protestants who became Catholic almost always say good things about their former Protestant denomination. The reason they decided to convert to Catholicism is based solely based on teachings of the faith (theology and not experiences).... If you watch any conversion video you'll instantly see what I'm talking about.
@@Henry-eh2jk I will tell you why I converted from Protestantism to Catholicism. I originally became a Christian because of the evidence that supported the Bible. And when I realized the Bible was true, I just started going to a Protestant church because I just did not know the difference between Christian groups. And then I started taking classes at Fuller Seminary. I read Church history books like those from then Protestant Jaroslav Pelikan a Yale History professor and Philip Schaff who wrote an 8 volume set on Christian Church History. And even these great scholars write extensively and convincingly that the early Christian Church was the Catholic Church; and they show that Luther’s view of "forensic justification" was an invention of the 1500’s. I grew up an atheist and so I had no axe to grind or no preconceived notions. But when I carefully read the New Testament, I saw that Jesus Christ made 3 predictions about his Church. And these three predictions are the predictions that made me believe in the Bible in the first place. If Jesus was not a real person or if he was not really resurrected from the dead, then these predictions would have never come true. But these are the 3 predictions Christ makes: Prediction 1. Christ said that his church would be persecuted and its members would be killed. Now that was a ridiculous prediction in the Roman empire which was religiously tolerant. They did not target people and kill them for religious reasons. Why would they kill the followers of someone who promotes peace?
Prediction 2. Jesus said that his church would be unified. He said there would be a church that could be considered as "one" that was unified in love and unified in doctrine. And Paul reiterates that in saying that the church has to agree on everything. Paul makes it a sin to create dissensions in the church. And Paul states that the average person should not be tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine. The New Testament clearly references one Church not a multiple set of churches with contradicting doctrines. Prediction 3. Jesus also said that his church would go to all nations. If Jesus was just a normal human who died like all of the other people who started religious movements, then this again is a ridiculous claim.
Any one of these claims could have come true by accident but it was impossible for me to believe that all of these predictions by Christ could occur by accident. That is why I became a Christian in the first place. But when you look at the church and see which one it was that did all of these 3 things Christ predicted, which one was it? It was clearly the Catholic Church if you read any seminary level church history book.
What church was it in which its leaders and bishops were targeted by the Romans and executed? Men like Clement of Rome; Ignatius of Antioch, and Polycarp of Smyrna? It was the Catholic Church that this happened to. You can read any church history book and see how the Bishops of Rome were known to the authorities as leaders of the Katholicos Ekklysia (or Catholic Church) and were hunted down to be executed.
And which church was it that somehow stayed unified through all of the heresies that came along with the Gnostics and with Arius and the Docetists and others? Which church was it that held the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, and Constantinople in 381 AD, then Ephesus in 431 AD and Chalcedon in 451 AD? The church that held those councils which kept Christianity clearly was the Catholic Church. We know who the Bishop of Rome was when each of those Councils occurred and he was seen as the leader of the College of Bishops. By 150 AD the entire church operated with the Bishop of Rome at the helm and with a “monoepsicopacy” form of government in place. It was in these Councils and others we see the church decipher core doctrines like the Trinity, the two natures of Christ existing in one person, and the development of the New Testament Canon. What church was it that did all of these things? It was obviously the Catholic Church. There was no Christian “group” or “sect” or “church” anywhere in the first 1,500 years of Christianity that believed in 1) Forensic justification + 2) Sola scriptura + 3) A priesthood of all believers SEPARATE and in exclusion of a ministerial priesthood. A church with those beliefs simply did not exist. Not only was there not a group or church taught those later “Protestant” ideas together; there was not even one early church Father who taught those 3 things together. You cannot find one Church father arguing for these 3 tenets of Protestantism 1)Forensic justification + 2) Sola scriptura + 3) A priesthood of all believers to the exclusion of a ministerial priesthood. Not a single Father. You may be able to find some quotes here or there that look like they may somehow, possibly point to one of these ideas. But no father argues for all together like any Protestant would do. In addition, most of these alleged quotes from the Fathers that can be dug up to maybe, somehow, in some way point to one of those Protestant sounding ideas, I guarantee you that if you look at all of their writings you will see that that particular Father clearly shows his views are Catholic. I wanted to know and so I did that exercise. Read Matthew J. Thomas’s work called “Paul’s ‘Works of the Law’ in the Perspective of Second Century Reception.” Thomas used to work for the famous JI Packer and he was hired to go through the church fathers and find any quotes that would maybe, perhaps somehow support “sola fide” or other Protestant doctrines. But even when he found some vague quote that might look like it supported “sola fide” that same Father’s other writings clearly showed that they did not hold that view. Or read Doug Beaumont’s work “Evangelical Exodus.” Beaumont worked for the Protestant scholar Norman Geisler and was hired to do the same thing which was to look for quotes in the Fathers’ that might seem, maybe, somehow, of you thought of them in a certain way to point to one of those views that came with “Protestantism” in 1500’s. Thomas and Beaumont along with 7 other people who contribute to the book “Evangelical Exodus” all discovered the same thing. The early Church was clearly Catholic and not remotely Protestant in structure nor doctrine. Joshua Betancourt even hesitantly wrote an anti-Catholic book with Giesler and from what he discovered in the evidence of the early Church he converted to Catholicism because he discovered that the early Church was Catholic, and the primary Christian Church that existed for the first 1500 years was Catholic. It is a fruitless exercise to try to believe that the early Church believed Protestant things. Even the Protestant history books I read at Fuller seminary admitted that Luther’s views of "forensic justification" and "sola fide" were new views developed in the 1500’s. Protestant Scholar Philip Schaff in his extensive 8 Volume History of the Christian Church writes: "If anyone expects to find in any of the church fathers, including Augustine himself, the Protestant doctrine of justification by faith alone … will be greatly disappointed."
And the church history scholar Alister MacGrath states that the Luther’s view of salvation was a complete “theological novum.” Novum means “novelty” (I am so stupid I had to look it up). Even Norman Giesler confronts the question of whether Christians for the first 1500 years of Christianity could be saved because Luther himself argued that if someone did not agree with Luther’s doctrine, Luther claimed that such a person could not be saved. But Giesler writes that Luther’s view was ridiculous because it would mean that no one was saved for 1500 years. Giesler writes: “One can be saved without believing that imputed righteousness (or forensic justification) is an essential part of the true gospel. Otherwise, few people were saved between the time of Paul and the Reformation, since scarcely anyone taught imputed righteousness (or forensic justification) during that period!” The Lutheran scholar Hartmann Grisar addresses why the mature Luther does not try to use church fathers including Augustine the great to support his new doctrine. Grisar writes: "It is not surprising that at a later date (after Luther was challenged) Luther hesitated to appeal to St. Augustine in support of his doctrine [of imputed righteousness] … AUGUSTINE AND ALL THE DOCTORS OF THE CHURCH ARE DECIDEDLY AGAINST HIM." About “Sola Scriptura” the Luther Scholar Heiko Oberman who wrote the book Luther: Man Between God and the Devil wrote on page 220: "Application of the Reformation principle of sola scriptura, the Scriptures alone, has not brought the certainty [Luther] anticipated. It has in fact been responsible for a multiplicity of explanations and interpretations that seem to render ABSURD any dependence on the clarity of the Scriptures" (Luther: Man Between God and the Devil, 220). If people want to believe that Christ started a church and then let it fail for 1500 years and then brought forth Luther, Melancthon, Karlstadt, Agricola, Bucer, Muncer, Zwingli, Calvin, Simons, Knox, John Smith, King Henry, Joseph Smith, Mary Baker Eddy, and Charles Russell and a few dozen others to claim to put the true church on earth; I can’t stop them. But I am going to believe what the early Christians believed and that is that Christ started the Catholic Church. That is what history shows and that is one reason why so many people convert to Catholicism. God bless you
You find the word ‘catholic’ in the Bible at Acts 5:11 and Acts 9:31. ‘Catholic’ is a Greek word, of course, so you need the New Testament in Greek if you wish to see it. The phrase "Kata holos" is lost when translated from the original Greek into English. In English, at Acts 5:11, the phrase "holos[en] ecclesia” or the “whole entire church" is found. In Acts 9:31 the English may render “the church throughout" but in Greek it is "Ai men oun Eccelesia kath holos" which literally translates as "Then truly the Church Cath-olic”; reading in its entirety: “Then truly the Church Catholic rested in Judea and Galilee and Samaria and were edified and walking in the fear of the Lord and comfort of the Holy Ghost were multiplied." - Acts 9:31. “Kath-holos’ means universal, of all nations, throughout, of the whole. It is a good description of Christ’s church. After all, Jesus said in Mark 11:7, “My House shall be called of all nations the House of prayer.” Rom. 11:18, 21 “Do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you . . . 21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, *He will not spare you either* . He writes his own condemnation for all to see here forever as the synagogue of Satan. By his stubbornness and impenitent heart, he is storing up wrath for himself for the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgment of God, “who will repay everyone according to his works” (Rom 2:5-6). SACRED DEPOST OF FAITH: The words of Christ are true to the deposit of faith handed down in word and spirit John 14:26) entrusted to his true believers, believing with their whole heart and life, (2 Tim. 1:6) by the laying on of hands. “First of all know this, there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, 21 for no prophecy ever came through human will; but rather human beings moved by the holy Spirit spoke under the influence of God” - 2 Peter 1:20-21. God’s written word indicates that no prophesy is a matter of personal interpretation, for no prophesy ever came through human will . . . so we are not to rely on our own interpretations alone. When we rely on ourselves only solo scriptura can become our idol, and what prevents someone from picking up the Bible and making it say whatever they wish it to say? Nothing at all for as Jesus says: ""You search the scriptures, because you think you have eternal life through them" John 5:39a, and continues to say that "they testify on my behalf". The apostles appointed people entrusted with the deposit of faith (1 Tim 6:20; 2 Tim 1:14; Jude 3) to preserve the faith and feed the sheep (Jn 21:17) to the end, and the gates of hell will not prevail against those (Mt. 16:18). "19 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, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, TO THE END OF THE AGE.” - Mt. 28:19-20. “Without parables he did not speak to them, but *to his own disciples he explained everything in private* ”. - Mark 4:34. “He said to them in reply, “ *Because knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted* .” - Matthew 13:11 “Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, *he interpreted to them what referred to him in all the scriptures* . . . *Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures* .”- Luke 24:27, 44. 26 The Advocate, the holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name- *he will teach you everything and remind you of all that [I] told you* . - John 14:26. “The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures but *I will tell you clearly about the Father* .” - John 16:25. “And so I say to you *you are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church* and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.” - Matthew 16:18. 7 Of this I became a minister by the gift of God’s grace that was granted me in accord with the exercise of his power. 8 To me, the very least of all the holy ones, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the inscrutable riches of Christ, 9 and to bring to light [for all] what is the plan of the mystery hidden from ages past in God who created all things, 10 *so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church* to the principalities and authorities in the heavens. - Eph. 3:7-10; 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the holy ones who are [in Ephesus] faithful in Christ Jesus . . . 9 *he has made known to us the mystery of his will in accord with his favor that he set forth in him* 10 as a plan for the fullness of times, to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on earth. Eph. 1, 9. 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 2 to the holy ones and faithful brothers in Christ in Colossae: grace to you and peace from God our Father. . . 24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on behalf of his body, which is *the church of which I am a minister in accordance with God’s stewardship given to me to bring to completion for you the word of God* , 26 the mystery hidden from ages and from generations past. But now it has been manifested to his holy ones. Col. 1, 24-26. “Surely the Lord GOD does nothing Unless He reveals His secret counsel To His servants the prophets.” - Amos 3:7. “28 The hidden things belong to the LORD our God, but the revealed things are for us and for our children forever, to observe all the words of this law.” - Dt. 29:28.

Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her...” Your statements and claims are "old tunes" being repeated over and over when people are looking for something to complain about the Catholic Church; they are definitely not what our Faith is teaching.

The Catholic Church made Baptism a requirement? Jesus: "Amen, amen I say to you unless a man be born again of water and the spirit, he shall not enter see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3)
I don’t disagree with the scripture but where in the Bible did it say that you have be baptized As a baby ? A child is innocent. Matthew 18:2-5 2He called a little child and had him stand among them. 3And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5"And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me." You get baptized as an adult that can logically think and become aware that they are a sinner and repent and then become born again. How is that possible as a child??? Like really think about it. I swear you Catholics are blinded by the god of this world (the devil)
to shield a child from the holy spirit because they are "innocent" is a false statement. all of us are born in adam (the flesh), being born again is being birthed in the spirit (baptized) is being born in christ. so the prevention of children being baptized simply because of their innocence and ignorance to what is going on is keeping them from being forgiven from original sin. it is our duty as christians to bring our children into the church. these are what the sacraments are for. if they are born under christ and don't agree with the church of the faith, they can leave before their confirmation. come the catholic (universal) church founded by Jesus Christ.
Col 1: 24 I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church.

No one can help you. Sola Scriptura is not in the Bible, so it fails its own test. Nobody believed sola scriptura until 3/4 of post Christian history had already occurred. Read the early church fathers and you will see that Protestants invented this false doctrine.

Images of men, of saints, holy and loyal to Jesus up to death, and. This images inspires me not to waste my life and be worthy of My saviour's sacrifice.

If so why would he kill himself/son to do something he has the power to do by just willing it? 2) how can god, the creator of the heavens and earth and all else we don’t know, be killed by his own slaves? 3) why do Catholics (and most Christian’s) eat the flesh of swine or pigs if your messiah and lord and saviour and son of your lord and saviour didn’t? 4) why don’t Christian men get circumcised if Jesus was? Surely he wouldn’t remove a piece of his flesh if it wasn’t necessary… enlighten me 5)is a TRI-nity not a direct contradiction to monotheism? One true god?

@@hosannayeshua4446 lol he set himself up for that high five 🖐
According to Catholicism, Jesus was not the all sufficient savior. Every Sunday you need to partake of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ which is the same sacrifice as on the cross.
CCC 1367: “The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice: "The victim is one and the same: the same now offers through the ministry of priests, who then offered himself on the cross; only the manner of offering is different." "And since in this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and is offered in an unbloody manner. . . this sacrifice is truly propitiatory."
And if you do not, you can not have salvation according to Catholicism
CCC 1129: “The Church affirms that for believers the sacraments of the New Covenant are necessary for salvation.
So according to Catholicism, Jesus can not atone for all your sins.
1 John 1:7: “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.”
Transubstantiation is a heretical doctrine. In the Catechism CCC 1374-1378, it is believed that the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ is truly in Eucharist. Catholics take John 6:53 literally and that is why the Catholic Church came up with this doctrine that every Sunday u sacrifice Jesus again and take him down from Heaven and take his flesh and blood and eat and drink it. But there is no flesh or blood in Heaven. 1 Corinthians 15:50. Jesus was sacrificed once and for all. Jesus did not endorse cannibalism. Jesus’s blood was not shed yet at the last supper. Jesus turned water into wine John 2:9 not wine into his literal blood. Jesus said these things I say to you are Spirit and life. John 6:63. Hebrews 10:10,12,14. The priests keep doing sacrifices every week like but it is not sufficient nor necessary Hebrews 10:11. To think that for 1250 years only 12 people had life in them is preposterous. It is symbolic. Jesus said he is the bread of life. John 6:35. Jesus said he is the door. John 10:9. Jesus said man shall not live by bread alone. Matthew 4:4. Jesus said give us this day our daily bread. Matthew 6:11. Jesus is not saying we have to eat bread everyday or only bread. Jesus is saying it as Spiritual food, not physical food. Jesus gave it as physical food to the Israelites back then but not now. Now it is and it has always been Spiritual. Transubstantiation according to Catholicism is, “When the priest announces the words of consecration, he reaches up into the heavens, brings Christ down from His throne, and places Him upon Our altar to be offered up again as the Victim for the sins of man It is a power greater than that of saints and angels. The priest speaks and lo! Christ, the eternal and omnipotent God, bows his head in humble obedience to the priest's cornmand”-Priest John O’Brien. Catholicism is a religion and they preach religion, not relationship with Jesus. Read God’s word, not man’s word. God bless. Repent and trust in Jesus
Your belief in purgatory, indulgences, and works do though, however
Catholics take sacred scripture and sacred tradition therefore we take the Bible and traditions and combine them
I’m glad to be Catholic, Jesus has been a very good to me, he has saved me so many times. Appeared to me in a dream and told me to pray pray pray and since I have confirmed my entire life has changed. I no longer worry and Jesus takes all my worries. Jesus is real, and many stories to prove it. Jesus is the light the way and the truth and the only way. Don’t be fooled by people who speak against Jesus ❤
Jesus loves you all too and will help you too. As the Bible says ask and you will receive.
Believe Jesus is real and died on the cross for your sins. Accept him as your savior, the light the way and the truth
Your comment shows that you worship a different Jesus. You have blinders on.
@Aoife Oherlihy, Do you have ABSOLUTE assurance that when you die you will go to heaven? Have you done enough works to enter into heaven when you die? How many "good works" do you have to do to go to heaven? How will you know that your "good works" will out way your "bad works?" Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God not of works lest anyone should boast. What work can you boast of that qualifies you to go to heaven? Titus 3:4-5 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to His mercy He has saved us through the washing and renewing of the Holy Spirit He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior. What will happen to you if you sin before you die and you can't get to a priest to confess your sins? Do you go to hell? 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and One Mediator between God and man the Man Christ Jesus who gave Himself a ransom for all. What is the number of works you have to do to receive forgiveness and go to heaven?
Mgirl h, with all the love in my heart I advise you to get a Bible. We are given the opportunity to complete the divine mercy each year which is a 9 day novena, confession and body of Christ on divine mercy day. Get the divine mercy handbook, very powerful on advice. We still have to try do our best to avoid sinning and ask god to make us righteous with peace to help us.
I was living an earthly life up until recently. Jesus loves every single one of us. He wants a personal relationship with all of us through the power of the Holy Spirit.

His knowledge of Catholicism is totally an urban legends at best .Just wondering where he got his “ facts” regarding Catholicism?
Yes he does. He used to be Catholic. It is a religion. False doctrine. You just want to defend a LIE.
I wasn't raised Catholic i actually attended an anti Catholic protestant church growing up... After converting to the Catholic faith I've learned it's not what what they told me.... And listening to anybody that has anti Catholic views only reconfirms that they really don't know the Fullness of Truth
@@imtheonlyone1092 I was a catholic for 20 years, we are not all protestant we belive the word of GOD and what he says we must do, and how we should live our lives according to God .I dont know what church you went to or how often you went or what they belive, there is only one way to enter into the kingdom of heaven, call on the name of the lord and repent its a transformation of the heart knowing you have the lord in your heart and that hes always there putting your faith in him.This is what God said you must do to enter into his kingdom, What the catholic church teaches is the complete opposite, they are works by faith you must do all these sacraments, pennants, confession purgatory. These things are *not in the Bible and are unbiblical, the catholic church added these things in with there doctrines and traditions they changed Gods word. Can the church assure you will go to heaven, No only GOD can, your going to put your faith in a prayer card that your priest and family members sign and put money in then they put that card on the alter at mass so hopefully you have enough grace to get out of purgatory. How many prayers do you need to get out of purgatory, how do you know you will ever get out of purgatory, this is the assurance you have with the church. All you need to do is look it up, you think we dont know the fullness of the truth, hes a bible scholar 30 years now after leaving the Church ,dont you want to make sure your being told the truth, where you will spend eternity.here is a video of the history and the truth, i learned a lot from this video th-cam.com/video/blvtzXuayX8/w-d-xo.html

False Catholics don’t claim Jesus is an insufficient saviour… he doesn’t understand the church
Do they claim it? No. However, saying that salvation requires anything else besides the blood of Christ, is saying that the blood of Christ is not enough.
@@stevesteveson2537Yes, Jesus opened the door to Salvation for us, but if we go by what you’re saying, then proclaiming “I believe in Jesus” will save you which is absolutely wrong. By _just_ saying you believe in Jesus you also need to believe in him in both your heart and spirit which means you have to live a Godly life and to participate in his works. Just saying you believe in Christ’s sacrifice without making your own effort in the faith just seems like one huge contradiction. Yes, believing in Christ is “enough” to be saved, but doesn’t mean you will be saved. Jesus did not appreciate luke warm Christians who never made an effort to come closer to God. Faith and works are one and the same. By participating in the sacraments you are proclaiming your faith to both the world and God. I follow the train of thought that works aren’t 100% necessary to receive salvation, but ignoring them entirely you open yourself open to live a less Godly life as following the sacraments makes your life revolve around Christ and Christ alone.
Confession and purgatory are catholic beliefs, or lies, that prove that catholics deny the Finished work of the cross. Catholics believe that THEIR works will be the finishing touch, because the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus is not enough.
Confession and purgatory both deny what Jesus accomplished on the cross.
Catholics DO claim that the death and resurrection of Jesus died is insufficient for salvation. A catholic lie.

As a former Roman Catholic I agree with most of this. The Catholic Church always adds to the Word of God: they constantly reference and tell people to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC). I also do not understand why they have images and statues of Jesus and Saints when the Bible says not to have any of those things for the things above. I also don’t understand why priests are called Father when the Bible says no one except God should be called that.

If you actually read the Bible you’ll quickly notice it’s very Catholic.
It amazes me how many former Catholics don't know Catholic theology at all. But it shouldn't surprise me since most current Catholics don't either. Ones who know the authentic teaching of the Church don't leave the fullness of truth. But we need to do a better job of catechizing our own members. Sorry Mr. Gendron doesn't understand what he left behind.
Ι am amazed as well about Catholics not knowing theology, but the majority of Post Reformation Christians are just as ignorant of the Scriptures as the Roman Catholics. The comments on the above video convey a message that Baptisims are not needed, in Early Christianity not being Baptized was the exception, not the rule, for those who know how to properly read the Bible in light of Apostolic Teachings, recognize that the Sacrament of baptism is an important part of one's Salvation, Baptism is very important! I am saddened when I see Bible believers picking and choosing what Scriptures to believe, often out of context! I often hear people say that God poured out his wrath on Jesus during the crucifixion. This Theology is nothing less than a butchering of Ancient Apostolic Christianity. There are no such supporting documentations in the Scriptures or Apostolic Teachings for God pouring out his “ὀργῆς” wrath/anger on Jesus? As one who believes fully in the Scriptures, I am troubled by this blatant disregard for Scriptural and Apostolic integrity in Western Fath Groups. I feel we should never add eisegetic commentary to The Holy Scriptures, sadly, the misuse of Scriptures is running rampant in the world. A Point about misuse, as I read the Bible an hour ago, I noticed the word baptism. I am truly at a loss for words, How so many Post Reformation groups overlook the actual words of Jesus, “Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” Matthew 28:19. Maybe Protestants should leave the Roman Catholics alone and work out their own Salvation, Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
John 3:5-7
This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him,
"Rabbi, we know that You
are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him."
Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" Jesus answered,
"Most assuredly, I
say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
"That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
"Do not marvel that I said to you,
"You must be born again.'
"...for you have been born again [that is, reborn from above-spiritually transformed, renewed,
and set apart for His purpose]..."

Also, if you were lower class, you couldn't afford a book, nor were they literate in English.
Also, that's rich coming from a prot who also burnt people at the stake and executed people, often for much less and less evidence.
@@jessielees 1) Wrong! There were translation of the Bible into the vernacular languages BEFORE the Protestant reformation. 2) And Catholics were murdered in Protestant countries e.g. England for not getting with the Protestant program. 3) Also, Protestants even turned on one another e.g. the 'peasants revolt' in Germany where Martin Luther sided with the Protestants aristocrats against the Protestant commoners.
I was a Catholic a long time ago I left the Catholic church for the truth
Amen!

AVE CRISTO REY AVE MARIAM - My dad just got healed by praying!!! We Catholics & Orthodox will take over
Every day more and more former prots cleave to Christ's Church and embrace Christ's body!

@@calebstarcher4934all believers are apart of Christ’s church, not just caths
There are three things in particular I don't get about RC: (1). the notion that one cannot (or should not) enjoy a personal relationship with God/Jesus but rather must go through a mortal mediator (priest); (2). all the prayers to Mary, another mortal; and (3). the notion that the Pope is a living descendant of the Apostles when popes and priests are forbidden to procreate.
Point (1). contradicts Jesus Himself, Point (2). also has no Biblical basis, and Point (3). simply does not make logical sense.
there are many, many more to add -- but good post, richard!
As for Mary, we ask her to pray for us the same way we ask any other person to pray for us. She is the greatest woman who has walked this earth. We do not worship her, and we Catholics maintain a distinction between prayer and worship. Worship entails sacrifice, and that is offered solely to God. We do not offer the sacrifice at mass to Mary, we offer it to God. She should be venerated and she serves as a reminder that Jesus is fully human and that He came to this world through the greatest of the feminine side of humanity.
As for popes, you are misunderstanding when we say “succession”. Apostolic succession has absolutely nothing to do with procreation. It has everything to do with appointing and ordaining a successor and this concept is not unique to Roman Catholicism. Peter, for example, had consecrated Clement of Rome, one of the Apostolic Fathers, as a bishop and he later became pope. The Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Old Catholics also follow this practice for their own bishops, and this is why we Roman Catholics actually distinguish them as “churches” and not “ecclesial communities”. Just as we Roman Catholics see our Pope as the successor to Peter, the Eastern Orthodox see their Ecumenical Patriarch as the successor to Andrew, and generally we do recognise the validity (though not liceity) of each others’ succession. Even the firmly protestant Anglicans have apostolic succession for bishops, though we Roman Catholics consider theirs invalid due to a lack of intent and substance as determined in Apostolicae Curae.
Also as a side note, some Eastern Catholic jurisdictions under the Roman Catholic Church do allow married priests.
@@saldol9862 paragraph 1 -- there is absolutely ZERO in Scripture supporting we pray to the dead. there is nothing in Scripture showing she is anything other than dead -- Heb 9:27
Mary isn't Deity, she was a sinner as we are now. and we only ask people who are alive and physically here to pray for us. or do you pray to Moses, Enoch and Elijah -- since they are shown to be resurrected and translated?
paragraph 2 -- 'popes' are demonic and not at all Christian.
thanks for reading!
1: This isn’t true. I have a personal relationship with the Lord and I’m not even Catholic yet. The priest is meant to help you in your relationship with Jesus.
II: We don’t pray to Mary in the sense that we think she can grant prayers, she can’t because she’s not God. We ask her to pray for us to God, because just like Enoch and Elijah she is with her Son.
III: This is a funny one, when I first started to look into the Church; I was confused. What it really means is that Peter ordained (not fathered-if you hear fathered it means in the spiritual sense) Peter 2, Peter 2 ordained Peter 3, etc etc until we get to the current Pope.
None of this contradicts Scripture, the Apostles founded a Church because of Jesus.
@@tony1685
1: No; there is. We hear about the “prayers of the saints” in Revelation. Mary literally gave birth to God in the flesh, she’s more important than any saint (Jesus is obviously way more important.)
Mary is NOT God. She could never be God. She wasn’t a sinner, because then Jesus would have inherited sin, which would have made Him insufficient as a perfect sacrifice. She is alive in Heaven. She cannot grant our prayers, but can only ask God to grant them. You could *ask* Elijah to pray *for you.*
2: Zero proof for this.
As usual he’s created a caricature out of Catholic teaching. None of this is Catholic teaching- but also it is a weak Protestant refutation of Catholic teaching. Come again sir.

This is a perfect definition of what urban legend really is . He should have at least been subtle about it instead of displaying his being ignoramus.
How would this be an "urban legend"? You're just throwing around concepts you don't understand.
He's literally citing the catechism verbatim.
Btw, incorrect use of the word ignoramus.
These conversations teach me that if you get people when they’re vulnerable you can make them believe anything no matter what new information is provided
This video would make the Lord so sad. I would strongly encourage people to read the Catholic Catechism to determine what the Church teaches. Almost everything Mike says defies the actual Catholic teachings.
I would also encourage you to read the early Church fathers. You will see that virtually everything Mike says is false.
I would encourage you to read the Word of God. Then you will understand why the catholic church is the highway to hell. catholics deny what Jesus has accomplished and think that their own works will get them to Heaven.
Their own works will get them to hell. The Bible says that We are saved by Grace through Faith, and this not of yourselves it is the Gift of God -- NOT BY WORKS, so that no one can boast.
The Catholic Catechism and the writings of the early Catholic Church fathers doesn't carry any weight with Protestants. You need to give them chapter and verse from the Holy Bible if you want to change minds.
“…They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them”
1John 4:3
Sounds like the Catholic Church trying to conform to the world and say what the world wants to hear.
Your description is that of Protestantism, which continues to change & break away.
The Catholic Church has been around since the beginning. Protestantism arose some 1500 years too late to be the Church.
The complete paragraph: "The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice: "The victim is one and the same: the same now offers through the ministry of priests, who then offered himself on the cross; only the manner of offering is different." "In this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and is offered in an unbloody manner." (CCC1367)
As the New Testament clearly elucidates, Communion was provided to honor the memory of Christ's suffering for us in offering up His body for our salvation. It also states there is one divine sacrifice for redeeming our sins on the cross and no other and then it was finished, not wherein another is continually performed by a priest where "the manner of offering is different." We are not commanded to worship the 'Host' in the same way we worship Christ in prayer. That is not biblical.
@@alwilson3204 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, ‘Take and eat; this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.’ (Matthew 26:26-28) Whosoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. - (John 6:56).
On the night before He suffered and died on the cross, Jesus shared a last meal with His disciples and instituted the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
Each time we go to Mass, we prayerfully participate with the priest who celebrates what Jesus did at the Last Supper.
Acting in the person of Christ, the priest consecrates the bread and wine and it is changed, by the power of the Holy Spirit, into the body and blood of Christ. This change is called transubstantiation.
The transformed bread and wine are not merely symbols. They continue to look like bread and wine but they are not; the substances change. They truly are the Body and Blood of Christ.
Jesus is present to us in many ways, in his Word, in the poor, when two or more are gathered in prayer, and in the Sacraments.
But only in the Holy Eucharist is He uniquely present - Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. This is what we mean by the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
The consecrated bread and wine remain the Body and Blood of Christ, even after Mass when some of the consecrated bread has been reserved for other uses, such as for distribution to the dying or the sick, or for adoration when it is exposed in the Rite of Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction.
The Blessed Sacrament is kept in the tabernacle, which is why it is customary to genuflect before the tabernacle when in its presence.
By dying on the cross, Jesus sacrificed for our sins. Through the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, we are joined to that sacrifice and receive its benefits.
At the Last Supper, Jesus took bread and said, “This is my body.” He took the wine and said, “This is the cup of my blood.”
Think about that the next time you are at Mass. Jesus is now truly present on the altar. Think about it, too, as you return to your seat after receiving the Holy Eucharist. You now have Jesus Christ inside you!
Figurative not literal.

“All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:”

@@savedbygrace8337 In a very literal sense we have fully God thru Jesus Christ in us. Jesus is fully God and fully man at the same time. If not, then only Islam can call the Roman Catholic Church a false religion because they fully understand that Jesus is a prophet and not God at the same time.
You must be familiar with the Islamic phase, "a catholic invention." That phase is Islamic in nature and those who say this phase call God Allah.
to a catholic the catechism > The Bible.......big error
Is faith in God required to be saved? If so, does this make Christ's passion insufficient to save us?
Jesus came down to earth and was crucified as absorption for our sins. The Bible shows the past present and further events. He knew he was going to be crucified and did it sinless to save humanity. Accept Jesus as your savior and get a Bible. Jesus is amazing ❤️

@@PentagonalSquid I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YIOU ARE READING INTO. Faith is a gift and grace is a gift. It is all from God.
No wonder if one passes from little knowledge to total ignorance. Some people think that they will be saved according to the church to which they belong and do not realize they put in jeopardy their own faith; leaving a doctrine to embrace a new one will only increase uncertainty and weakness. Moreover, catholic doctrine doesn't fit with idleness.

Catholicism is not Christianity ✝️ When you learn the truth, you will be made free.
I did some studying and I found that many of their doctrines are misinterpreted. It’s shocking how erroneous their doctrines are. I’ve given you all of the answers you’ll need. I’ve listed several specific things that you’ll need to diligently study if you’re Catholic.
--------------------
Peter self-identified as an elder, not a pope.
An elder is a pastor.
**1 Pete 5:1** And now, a word to you who are elders in the churches. I, too, am an elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ. And I, too, will share in his glory when he is revealed to the whole world. As a fellow elder, I appeal to you:
Matthew 16:18-19 is misinterpreted and this is shown in Matthew 18:18 as Jesus reiterates the same thing to all disciples. The Petrine theory is false.
--------------------
- Antithetical books taught as doctrine that are contradictory to the Bible is apostasy.
****1 Timothy 4:1**** Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons.
--------------------
- Forbidding clergy to marry is apostasy.
****1 Timothy 4:3**** who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
--------------------
• Adding church doctrines, especially doctrines that uniquely serve the context of a church’s teachings and political purposes of a church is apostasy and it’s forbidden.
****Deuteronomy 4:2,**** ****Galatians 1:6-7****. A church can’t interpret a scripture and ignore the fact that their interpretation contradicts other scriptures.
****Mark 7:7****
Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
--------------------
• We have a new ministry in the new covenant. ****Ephesians 4:11****. Christ did not send out any officiating new covenant high priests, or parish priests.
****Ephesians 4:11**** So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers
• God does not show favoritism ****Romans 2:11**** -- there is no evidence in the scriptures that the church was built on a human. We do not have a human pope to guide us. We are led by the indwelling of the Spirit. ****Acts 1:5****
--------------------
• The scriptures show no differences in the apostles.
****Equality amongst the apostles****
“Ye are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone. ****Ephesians 2:20****
“And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.” ****Revelation 21:14****
• Peter was no different than the others. We can see here in ****Revelations 21:14**** that Peter was still an apostle, not a pope. John saw a vision of the New Jerusalem, so if Peter was a pope, John would have said I saw the foundation of the city walls in layers of 11 apostles and the one pope.
--------------------
- The Rock of the church is spiritual, not physical. There is only one Rock.
****1 Corinthians 10:4**** and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.
--------------------
• Mary nor the saints can hear prayers. There’s only one mediator in heaven between God & Man. No scriptures show that the 24 elders hear prayers.
****1 Timothy 2:5**** For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,
--------------------
• All Christians are saints.
****Philippians 1:1**** Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
--------------------
• All Christians are priests. We are living stones being built in a spiritual house on a spiritual Rock. You can approach God for forgiveness yourself.
****1 Peter 2:5**** Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
--------------------
• The doctrine of original sin is not biblical or found in the scriptures at all. Water baptism cannot remove sins. By the shedding of blood is there remission of sins. Adam sinned but adding the terminology of “original sin” is not biblical.
****Hebrews 9:22**** In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
--------------------
• Every Christian is supposed to study and read the Bible for themselves. ****Acts 17:11****
****Ephesians 3:4**** As you read what I have written, you will understand my insight into this plan regarding Christ.
****Psalm 119:15**** I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways.
--------------------
• In order to receive salvation, we must all repent and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior. We need no new antithetical AD prophet church bibles, no man-made doctrines, no priests, no infallible magisterium, no Vatican, no communion of saints, no catechisms, no Marian dogmas, no transubstantiation, no other God(s), no idolatry, no prosperity gospel, no blessed prayer cloths, no added rituals, no antithetical traditions, no Eucharist, no veneration of Mary, no long list of good works, no water baptism regeneration, no sacrament of reconciliation, no rosary, no pope, no papacy, no apostolic succession, and no church dogmas, but *only* by grace through faith are we saved. Christ is enough!
****Ephesians 2:8**** "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast".
--------------------
- I’m not against any church. I’m against people who are being misled and deceived. A church that has stood for several centuries must still teach sound doctrine. Any church that is built on false doctrine leads people astray. That church is no longer fertile grounds for the development of the body of Christ.
- I know this information can be heavy so I pray for your healing. I also pray that you will see the truth in God’s word. Study.
In Jesus’s name, Amen. 💜💜
@@redbird9000 Scripture is the written Tradition (or Teaching) of the apostles collected and authorized by the Church, “the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone” (Ephesians 2:20). The Holy Spirit-as the Source of truth-inspired the Holy Apostles to write, the Holy Church to canonize, and its Holy Tradition to interpret the Holy Bible. Scripture, Tradition, and the Church-these three agree as one, inspired by the one Holy Spirit, and together bear witness to the one Faith, for “a threefold cord cannot be easily broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:12). “Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses… remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct” (Hebrews 12:1; 13:7). The Holy Spirit and the Holy Church, the Bride of Christ, say, “Come… Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed… sharing in the body of Christ. For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread [Christ Jesus]” (Revelation 22:17; Proverbs 9:5; 1 Corinthians 10:16-17).

Its interesting that Jesus saves his harshest critisism towards religious institutions. When you are part of such an institution you are blinded to the truth. Fortunately, the truth is only found in one person and this truth will set you free. Jesus said that He is the way, the truth and the life. No person is able to come to the father unless he comes through Jesus. Anyone who thinks he can come to God through an institution and their man made structures needs to stop in their tracks and re-evaluate their position immediately. I pray for you and me.

I do like the counterpoints though, even if each of them grossly misunderstandings of Catholic teaching,
He clearly loves Jesus though, and I commend him on defending his position as he sees it, in defence of Jesus and the Father
There’s no point of trying to inject Mary into places she doesn’t need to be

@@duckymomo7935 the brain snapping move by people like you to reject Mary, the Mother of God, who the angel said was Full of Grace is heartbreaking. What then of the Saints who were raised by God when Jesus was resurrected?
Yourself, have you never gone to your mother seeking some sort of intercession to your own father? Don’t you see it as a sign of respect for the most exalted fully human that ever lived?
Catholics don’t worship her, we worship Jesus. We pray to Jesus, but we also recognise that Mary is such a pivotal person who is in heaven with our Lord, she is to be exalted as the Saints are, and we seek her intercession with her Son as a sign of utter respect
I don’t get why you discredit her so. Would you show the same disrespect to your own mother? Astounding !!!
@@eddiej9733 Dude. Stop it. Jesus himself rejected Mary. On more than one occasion too! Please read the real Bible. Come on parrot
Matthew 12:48-Jesus' Mother and Brothers
46 While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers[a] stood outside, asking to speak to him.[b] 48 But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
Luke 11:27-28True Blessedness
27 As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” 28 But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
1 Timothy 4 4 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.
@@eddiej9733 Parrot. Please pay special attention to the Matthew 12 passage I shared.
Now I will explain it to you. Mary is OUTSIDE. Just like one of the virgins in the parable, who forgot to refill her lamp and was thus shut OUTSIDE and the door was not opened to her.
Now leave your cult immediately. Save as many people as you can, take them with you out of the backslidden pagan cult, who burn incense to the queen of heaven.
@@br.m on the contrary. Both Matt12:48 and Luke 11:27 are examples of Jesus using the benchmark of his mother and spiritual brothers as benchmarks for what we should attain by believing in Him. He used Her as an example of the regard the Lord will have if they believe. These verses are an affirmation of Mary’s special place. But that Jesus is concerned primarily with the salvation of every soul.
I can understand a Christian to have a largely benign regard for Mary, on account of say having done little research into what great Christian minds have thought and taught since the earthly time of the Lord, but to specifically denigrate Mary and Jesus’ regard for Mary is the sign that we are offered doctrines of demons in these days.
Again, I stress that I’m not talking about the worship of Mary. Let’s take that off the table for once and got all. Veneration is a totally different thing.
Purgatory started in 600 AD that’s how. They built the Vatican and became rich! 2 Corinthians 11 Satan disguises himself as an angel of light even his ministers appear as ministers of righteousness! Thank you Jesus for setting me free from this ungodly religious system!!!!!
Yes, I hate all these religious denominations. It’s only there to divide. God’s kingdom has no denomination! It’s so sad that these people don’t understand the falsehood of their own religion. All I did was read the Bible and found MANY contradictions and left and found the truth
The truth will set you free. Thank you Jesus
The problem lies in Peter's successor and not Peter as Bishop. Linus was only mentioned by Irenaeus in the 2cnd century and in the First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians many Bishops were appointed in Chapter XIX: 4.
I don't know if you are Catholic or not, but actually, the issue lies in the fact that we are comparing apples to oranges. The first century church structure is not apparent in the same way that the 21st century church is structured. You can't expect to see the papacy in the first century as easily as we see it today. Another thing, many ancient records were likely lost and didn't survive to the present day, but we have enough that did survive for us to demonstrate that there was a leadership structure in place in the first few centuries, with the Bishop of Rome being the primacy over all the churches. It's a very weak argument for those (not saying you are) who claim there was no papacy in Peter's time because he was never called the pope in the Bible.
Happy to no longer be part of the catholic church, Christ is the only way to salvation.
Amen
Catholics also believe this.
Catholicism was the way to guarantee salvation, all its doctrines directly from Sacred Scripture. Now, you only follow 1 percent on what the bible says to be saved.
It's simple. Catholicism contradicts the teachings of the bible. God doesn't contradict Himself.

He says that Catholicism requires that you keep the law perfectly. He's lying, never have I heard the word perfectly used save for when describing God and Jesus Christ. When it is said that we should keep the law, it is meant to keep it as best as we can. When we fail, we go to confession. If keeping the law perfectly is an absolute requirement, then why would the Church offer confession? We accept that we're all sinners, thus we go to confess our sins. If the Church demanded perfect adherence to God's law, by going to confession we would all be admitting to failure in that regard, essentially excommunicating ourselves by admitting not having kept God's law perfectly.
CONFESSION TO A HUMAN IS HERESY AS EVERY PERSON CAN COMMUNICATE WITH JESUS. THE POPE IS NOT NEEDED. ONGOING FORGIVENESS BY ANOTHER SINFUL PERSON LIKE THE POPE OR PRIESTS IS HERESY. JESUS WORK WAS FINISHED ON THE CROSS AND THIS IS NOT NEEDED AND ONLY SERVES TO KEEP CATHOLICS IN THE POWER OF THE FAKE INTERCESSOR THE POPE,
Would love to see Mike Gendron debate a TRUE Catholic apologist like Dr. Brant Pitre or Dr. Mary Healy? Mike is always left unchallenged.
That's because he went against a TH-cam apologist and got creamed, so now he doesn't debate but just spews false narratives, like John MacArthur.
Trust and keep faith in what you believe! Criticizing someone's believe is the root cause of all deaths in the modern world! The lord knows who is a true believer and who is not! Keep your belief and thinking to yourself!

Just wanted to point out that what I learned from Protestants who became Catholic and Catholics who became Protestant. It can be quite revealing. I have yet to meet a former Catholic who actually understood their former faith (again, bad catechesis). And almost every Catholic I've met who used to be Protestant has been a practical encyclopedia of both Protestant and Catholic theology. Some of the biggest names in Catholic apologetics are former Protestant pastors. Unfortunately, Mike Gendron falls into the category of not being properly educated in his former Catholic faith and then spread this false information to those who don’t know better. My advice to anyone who truly wants to follow Christ is to go watch a conversion testimony of former Protestant who became Catholic (there’s literally thousands of videos) and then ask yourself why so many educated leaders of the Protestant community have converted?
Another observation I would like to add is you'll notice that Protestants who converted from the Catholic faith always seem to have bad experiences and have nothing but bad things to say of their former faith. On the other hand, Protestants who became Catholic almost always say good things about their former Protestant denomination. The reason they decided to convert to Catholicism is based solely based on teachings of the faith (theology and not experiences).... If you watch any conversion video you'll instantly see what I'm talking about.
@@brianh2477 That's not my personal experience
@@Henry-eh2jk I will tell you why I converted from Protestantism to Catholicism. I originally became a Christian because of the evidence that supported the Bible. And when I realized the Bible was true, I just started going to a Protestant church because I just did not know the difference between Christian groups. And then I started taking classes at Fuller Seminary. I read Church history books like those from then Protestant Jaroslav Pelikan a Yale History professor and Philip Schaff who wrote an 8 volume set on Christian Church History. And even these great scholars write extensively and convincingly that the early Christian Church was the Catholic Church; and they show that Luther’s view of "forensic justification" was an invention of the 1500’s.
I grew up an atheist and so I had no axe to grind or no preconceived notions. But when I carefully read the New Testament, I saw that Jesus Christ made 3 predictions about his Church. And these three predictions are the predictions that made me believe in the Bible in the first place. If Jesus was not a real person or if he was not really resurrected from the dead, then these predictions would have never come true. But these are the 3 predictions Christ makes:
Prediction 1. Christ said that his church would be persecuted and its members would be killed. Now that was a ridiculous prediction in the Roman empire which was religiously tolerant. They did not target people and kill them for religious reasons. Why would they kill the followers of someone who promotes peace?
Prediction 2. Jesus said that his church would be unified. He said there would be a church that could be considered as "one" that was unified in love and unified in doctrine. And Paul reiterates that in saying that the church has to agree on everything. Paul makes it a sin to create dissensions in the church. And Paul states that the average person should not be tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine. The New Testament clearly references one Church not a multiple set of churches with contradicting doctrines.
Prediction 3. Jesus also said that his church would go to all nations. If Jesus was just a normal human who died like all of the other people who started religious movements, then this again is a ridiculous claim.
Any one of these claims could have come true by accident but it was impossible for me to believe that all of these predictions by Christ could occur by accident. That is why I became a Christian in the first place. But when you look at the church and see which one it was that did all of these 3 things Christ predicted, which one was it? It was clearly the Catholic Church if you read any seminary level church history book.
What church was it in which its leaders and bishops were targeted by the Romans and executed? Men like Clement of Rome; Ignatius of Antioch, and Polycarp of Smyrna? It was the Catholic Church that this happened to. You can read any church history book and see how the Bishops of Rome were known to the authorities as leaders of the Katholicos Ekklysia (or Catholic Church) and were hunted down to be executed.
And which church was it that somehow stayed unified through all of the heresies that came along with the Gnostics and with Arius and the Docetists and others? Which church was it that held the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, and Constantinople in 381 AD, then Ephesus in 431 AD and Chalcedon in 451 AD? The church that held those councils which kept Christianity clearly was the Catholic Church. We know who the Bishop of Rome was when each of those Councils occurred and he was seen as the leader of the College of Bishops. By 150 AD the entire church operated with the Bishop of Rome at the helm and with a “monoepsicopacy” form of government in place.
It was in these Councils and others we see the church decipher core doctrines like the Trinity, the two natures of Christ existing in one person, and the development of the New Testament Canon. What church was it that did all of these things? It was obviously the Catholic Church.
There was no Christian “group” or “sect” or “church” anywhere in the first 1,500 years of Christianity that believed in
1) Forensic justification + 2) Sola scriptura + 3) A priesthood of all believers SEPARATE and in exclusion of a ministerial priesthood.
A church with those beliefs simply did not exist. Not only was there not a group or church taught those later “Protestant” ideas together; there was not even one early church Father who taught those 3 things together. You cannot find one Church father arguing for these 3 tenets of Protestantism 1)Forensic justification + 2) Sola scriptura + 3) A priesthood of all believers to the exclusion of a ministerial priesthood. Not a single Father. You may be able to find some quotes here or there that look like they may somehow, possibly point to one of these ideas. But no father argues for all together like any Protestant would do. In addition, most of these alleged quotes from the Fathers that can be dug up to maybe, somehow, in some way point to one of those Protestant sounding ideas, I guarantee you that if you look at all of their writings you will see that that particular Father clearly shows his views are Catholic. I wanted to know and so I did that exercise.
Read Matthew J. Thomas’s work called “Paul’s ‘Works of the Law’ in the Perspective of Second Century Reception.” Thomas used to work for the famous JI Packer and he was hired to go through the church fathers and find any quotes that would maybe, perhaps somehow support “sola fide” or other Protestant doctrines. But even when he found some vague quote that might look like it supported “sola fide” that same Father’s other writings clearly showed that they did not hold that view. Or read Doug Beaumont’s work “Evangelical Exodus.” Beaumont worked for the Protestant scholar Norman Geisler and was hired to do the same thing which was to look for quotes in the Fathers’ that might seem, maybe, somehow, of you thought of them in a certain way to point to one of those views that came with “Protestantism” in 1500’s. Thomas and Beaumont along with 7 other people who contribute to the book “Evangelical Exodus” all discovered the same thing. The early Church was clearly Catholic and not remotely Protestant in structure nor doctrine. Joshua Betancourt even hesitantly wrote an anti-Catholic book with Giesler and from what he discovered in the evidence of the early Church he converted to Catholicism because he discovered that the early Church was Catholic, and the primary Christian Church that existed for the first 1500 years was Catholic.
It is a fruitless exercise to try to believe that the early Church believed Protestant things. Even the Protestant history books I read at Fuller seminary admitted that Luther’s views of "forensic justification" and "sola fide" were new views developed in the 1500’s.
Protestant Scholar Philip Schaff in his extensive 8 Volume History of the Christian Church writes:
"If anyone expects to find in any of the church fathers, including Augustine himself, the Protestant doctrine of justification by faith alone … will be greatly disappointed."
And the church history scholar Alister MacGrath states that the Luther’s view of salvation was a complete “theological novum.” Novum means “novelty” (I am so stupid I had to look it up).
Even Norman Giesler confronts the question of whether Christians for the first 1500 years of Christianity could be saved because Luther himself argued that if someone did not agree with Luther’s doctrine, Luther claimed that such a person could not be saved. But Giesler writes that Luther’s view was ridiculous because it would mean that no one was saved for 1500 years. Giesler writes:
“One can be saved without believing that imputed righteousness (or forensic justification) is an essential part of the true gospel. Otherwise, few people were saved between the time of Paul and the Reformation, since scarcely anyone taught imputed righteousness (or forensic justification) during that period!”
The Lutheran scholar Hartmann Grisar addresses why the mature Luther does not try to use church fathers including Augustine the great to support his new doctrine. Grisar writes:
"It is not surprising that at a later date (after Luther was challenged) Luther hesitated to appeal to St. Augustine in support of his doctrine [of imputed righteousness] … AUGUSTINE AND ALL THE DOCTORS OF THE CHURCH ARE DECIDEDLY AGAINST HIM."
About “Sola Scriptura” the Luther Scholar Heiko Oberman who wrote the book Luther: Man Between God and the Devil wrote on page 220:
"Application of the Reformation principle of sola scriptura, the Scriptures alone, has not brought the certainty [Luther] anticipated. It has in fact been responsible for a multiplicity of explanations and interpretations that seem to render ABSURD any dependence on the clarity of the Scriptures" (Luther: Man Between God and the Devil, 220).
If people want to believe that Christ started a church and then let it fail for 1500 years and then brought forth Luther, Melancthon, Karlstadt, Agricola, Bucer, Muncer, Zwingli, Calvin, Simons, Knox, John Smith, King Henry, Joseph Smith, Mary Baker Eddy, and Charles Russell and a few dozen others to claim to put the true church on earth; I can’t stop them. But I am going to believe what the early Christians believed and that is that Christ started the Catholic Church. That is what history shows and that is one reason why so many people convert to Catholicism. God bless you

@@brianh2477Do you want to go to Heaven? How are you getting to Heaven? If you don't answer, you have answered.
You find the word ‘catholic’ in the Bible at Acts 5:11 and Acts 9:31. ‘Catholic’ is a Greek word, of course, so you need the New Testament in Greek if you wish to see it. The phrase "Kata holos" is lost when translated from the original Greek into English. In English, at Acts 5:11, the phrase "holos[en] ecclesia” or the “whole entire church" is found. In Acts 9:31 the English may render “the church throughout" but in Greek it is "Ai men oun Eccelesia kath holos" which literally translates as "Then truly the Church Cath-olic”; reading in its entirety:
“Then truly the Church Catholic rested in Judea and Galilee and Samaria and were edified and walking in the fear of the Lord and comfort of the Holy Ghost were multiplied." - Acts 9:31.
“Kath-holos’ means universal, of all nations, throughout, of the whole. It is a good description of Christ’s church. After all, Jesus said in Mark 11:7, “My House shall be called of all nations the House of prayer.”
Rom. 11:18, 21 “Do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you . . . 21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, *He will not spare you either* .
He writes his own condemnation for all to see here forever as the synagogue of Satan.
By his stubbornness and impenitent heart, he is storing up wrath for himself for the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgment of God, “who will repay everyone according to his works” (Rom 2:5-6).
SACRED DEPOST OF FAITH:
The words of Christ are true to the deposit of faith handed down in word and spirit John 14:26) entrusted to his true believers, believing with their whole heart and life, (2 Tim. 1:6) by the laying on of hands. “First of all know this, there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, 21 for no prophecy ever came through human will; but rather human beings moved by the holy Spirit spoke under the influence of God” - 2 Peter 1:20-21. God’s written word indicates that no prophesy is a matter of personal interpretation, for no prophesy ever came through human will . . . so we are not to rely on our own interpretations alone. When we rely on ourselves only solo scriptura can become our idol, and what prevents someone from picking up the Bible and making it say whatever they wish it to say? Nothing at all for as Jesus says: ""You search the scriptures, because you think you have eternal life through them" John 5:39a, and continues to say that "they testify on my behalf".
The apostles appointed people entrusted with the deposit of faith (1 Tim 6:20; 2 Tim 1:14; Jude 3) to preserve the faith and feed the sheep (Jn 21:17) to the end, and the gates of hell will not prevail against those (Mt. 16:18).
"19 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, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, TO THE END OF THE AGE.” - Mt. 28:19-20.
“Without parables he did not speak to them, but *to his own disciples he explained everything in private* ”. - Mark 4:34.
“He said to them in reply, “ *Because knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted* .” - Matthew 13:11
“Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, *he interpreted to them what referred to him in all the scriptures* . . . *Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures* .”- Luke 24:27, 44.
26 The Advocate, the holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name- *he will teach you everything and remind you of all that [I] told you* . - John 14:26.
“The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures but *I will tell you clearly about the Father* .” - John 16:25.
“And so I say to you *you are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church* and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.” - Matthew 16:18.
7 Of this I became a minister by the gift of God’s grace that was granted me in accord with the exercise of his power. 8 To me, the very least of all the holy ones, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the inscrutable riches of Christ, 9 and to bring to light [for all] what is the plan of the mystery hidden from ages past in God who created all things, 10 *so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church* to the principalities and authorities in the heavens. - Eph. 3:7-10;
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the holy ones who are [in Ephesus] faithful in Christ Jesus . . . 9 *he has made known to us the mystery of his will in accord with his favor that he set forth in him* 10 as a plan for the fullness of times, to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on earth. Eph. 1, 9.
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 2 to the holy ones and faithful brothers in Christ in Colossae: grace to you and peace from God our Father. . .
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on behalf of his body, which is *the church of which I am a minister in accordance with God’s stewardship given to me to bring to completion for you the word of God* , 26 the mystery hidden from ages and from generations past. But now it has been manifested to his holy ones. Col. 1, 24-26.
“Surely the Lord GOD does nothing
Unless He reveals His secret counsel
To His servants the prophets.” - Amos 3:7.

The Catholic Church made Baptism a requirement? Jesus: "Amen, amen I say to you unless a man be born again of water and the spirit, he shall not enter see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3)
oh and an infant chooses to be baptized? Catholics traditions contradict the Bible therefore IT IS HERESY AND CATHOLICS ARE NOT CHRISTIANS
I don’t disagree with the scripture but where in the Bible did it say that you have be baptized As a baby ? A child is innocent. Matthew 18:2-5
2He called a little child and had him stand among them. 3And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5"And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me."
You get baptized as an adult that can logically think and become aware that they are a sinner and repent and then become born again. How is that possible as a child??? Like really think about it. I swear you Catholics are blinded by the god of this world (the devil)
@@yungt3ch999Jesus said to baptize all in a home, not based on age. You will find it if you look it up, sorry I’m being lazy but it does say that
Of course is a requirement, is the 1st sacrament
to shield a child from the holy spirit because they are "innocent" is a false statement. all of us are born in adam (the flesh), being born again is being birthed in the spirit (baptized) is being born in christ. so the prevention of children being baptized simply because of their innocence and ignorance to what is going on is keeping them from being forgiven from original sin. it is our duty as christians to bring our children into the church. these are what the sacraments are for. if they are born under christ and don't agree with the church of the faith, they can leave before their confirmation. come the catholic (universal) church founded by Jesus Christ.
Col 1: 24 I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church.

Nobody believed sola scriptura until 3/4 of post Christian history had already occurred. Read the early church fathers and you will see that Protestants invented this false doctrine.

Great video and on point. Thank for sharing this very important message!!
why did Jesus say in Mt 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, *but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven*. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?’ 23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers.’
Many people say this guy is ignorant? This man is clearly educated in the matter and has spoken facts about Catholicism I challenge anyone to discredit these practices in Catholicism he mentioned.
As a non-Christian though, I ask a few questions:
1) is god not almighty enough to just do what he wants? If so why would he kill himself/son to do something he has the power to do by just willing it?
2) how can god, the creator of the heavens and earth and all else we don’t know, be killed by his own slaves?
3) why do Catholics (and most Christian’s) eat the flesh of swine or pigs if your messiah and lord and saviour and son of your lord and saviour didn’t?
4) why don’t Christian men get circumcised if Jesus was? Surely he wouldn’t remove a piece of his flesh if it wasn’t necessary… enlighten me
5)is a TRI-nity not a direct contradiction to monotheism? One true god? How can a God be split and you worship him in different ways?
Ask, seek, and knock. The door will be opened
