The Difference between Catholics and Protestant Christians

- Catholics and Protestants are pretty similar, but there are differences. This video explains the differences between Catholics and Protestant Christians in History, Organisation, and Beliefs.
Fellow Catholic here! Thank you for this unbiased explanation, I wasn't even able to tell whether you were Catholic or Protestant (or neither) until I scrolled through your videos. Keep it up!
A Protestant (Lutheran) could tell he is Catholic. It's obvious because he doesn't know much about Lutheranism, its people, beliefs, or organizational structure.
@@flash2tz And also that he represents the church splits as orthodox and protestants breaking away from the continuous line of the catholic church. And that he thinks that their teachings about good works make them build more hospitals. I have no idea if that´s actually the case, especially in proportion, but it was kind of transparent that he wanted to make the RCC seem better.
I think the video was good, I learned a lot, but it was certainly not unbiased.
Not knowing we must pray in Jesus name to get to the Father in heaven ...that He alone is our intercessor is how I could tell he is Catholic
@@gratefultemple luckily Catholics believe the same thing!
@@Vanessa1 that's funny he didnt mention Jesus being the ONLY way ...but he did mention Mary and saints being who Catholics turn to for intercession ...although the Bible says no false idols😳
I agree, it is the devil that separates us. Myself, I go to Catholic Mass for communion where the Holy Spirit is present strongly in the communion. I also listen to some of the better Protestant Bible teachers. We are all Christians and are going to the same place through Jesus Christ. Let’s truly love our brothers and sisters.
Totally agree with you I'm not Catholic I'm church of England but I admit I am strongly drawn towards the Catholic Church and I am considering changing xxx
The Mass is an act of idolatry repugnant to the Holy Spirit. Bread & wine are not turned into Christ there, nor is He to be sacrificed again. He died once for all for our sins.
One of the things I have a problem with Catholicism is the corruption of the pope and also works are a byproduct of faith, the thief on the cross went to heaven but didn’t hav the works. He did with faith alone and Jesus had told him he will be in heaven with him soon. I might be non denominational but I’m still Protestant and believe the same believe as Catholics, I’ve just seen corruption from the “head” of the church and also I’m not gonna pray to anyone besides the one and only lord, no human or “Saint” can save me or forgive me beside God
Amen, Amen.
@@zoemarie5568 Please come and have a look at the Catholic faith. We are usually very mild people. The faith is beautiful and deep.
Finally, a non biased explanation of the differences. Really feel such videos are necessary. We may have differences but we should at least be informed and be respectful of one another's practices and beliefs. Thank you for this! 🙏🏻
Amen!!
It's impossible to talk about religion - about most things, actually - without bias. The fact tha you and I agree with his bias does not make him unbiaseed. The danger o considering religious opinions unbiased is it creates "the true opinion". Even a benign opinion, if considered to be the true one, can clash with other opinions. Muslims, for instance, consider Christians and Jews as sharing the same background and call for a special respect towards them (us) - and that can clash with the idea that Christians share the same backtround. The only truth us Christians should hold is "love your neighbor as you love thyself". (remember that neighbor is not your actual neighbor but all those next to you and in the 21st century that means around 8 billion people)
How can anyone be unbiased?
If one defends scripture and the gospel, one cannot be unbiased regarding this subject.
There is no respect due to idolatry. Worshiping saints & Mary is idolatry, even if you call it veneration.
Hmmmmm.....
Seems to be that's the kind of talk you heard when man was building the tower of Babel.....
"We are all one, let's be inclusive"
I guess we might be reading a different Bible.
Great video. Thank you.
I would like to add that there are a lot of Protestants who also believe that faith without works is dead. The difference is however that we say that it's not faith plus works but this actually means that you are still saved solely based on faith alone. Real faith, however, will produce works automatically because your heart will be transformed by the Holy Spirit and His fruits will show themselves in a change of your attitudes because of your faith. In the sense of "I can love because He first love me and I can forgive because He forgave me first". It might seem like a minor detail but for me it's makes a big difference because the works do not come from me in order to be saved, but they come from God through me because I am already saved.
may believe but not backed with action.
@@michelleart3780
God knows best what the actions of them are. I don't think that you know all of them, so please don't judge. Just because they don't brag about their good deeds before people doesn't mean that they didn't do anything.
Blessings!
Someone read this for me
I agree. The difference is no faith and work but faith and traditions. Catholics tend to forget Jesus while engaging in their traditions. I am catholic myself but always regard myself as a Christian and nothing else.
Not***
whats really nice about this thread is its respectful tone.
Lol hahahaha lol that was a good one lol
Watered down bunch of garbage that's what it is, very limp wrist spoken like a Catholic, and if you're not I'll pray for you because you need it!!!
I agree! With the exception of a few cynics above, it has been respectful and encouraging. We are one body in Christ!
@Gemma Never said you were disrespectful. And I changed it to cynic because most of this thread was pretty respectful. I agree that name calling isn't good but cynic describes you accurately.
H.D. Red all religion is garbage including yours.
As a Catholic, I love all of you, Brothers and Sisters! Let's never forget, as we argue or disagree about "empires", the Good Lord is interested in all of us building His "Kingdom"! I love you! ,
CAK's DAD: You have no idea whatsoever of who or what I am and so for you too say you love us all is just stupid in the most patronizing manner there is.
Get off your high horse and come down to reality.
Andrew, if you're a believer I do know that much about who you are. We're all in the same fold. I didn't mean to be patronizing but to encourage all believers in Jesus to love one another. Peace.
@@TheSean7564 : Jesus was a Jew practicing Buddhism/Hinduism and then he put his own spin on it. I am not a Christian though i born into that faith but I didnt not give my parents permission to baptize me and so i didnt need their permission to leave it.
@@abw48 Well I know by your reply that you are a complete douche bag. Oh, and I don't love you. But I do feel sorry for you.
@@abw48 You are incredibly angry at God! Go your own way. Don't worry about Him coming after you.
This is honestly one of the best explanations I’ve seen so far. Most of the other videos I’ve seen are biased against Catholics, saying what they are doing is wrong. I don’t think getting information from a biased source helps you no matter what side you are on, so thank you.
It does matter if it is not historically true. This is watered down and not accurate.
@@wendymitchell8245 And what makes you the expert on this subject? I find this to be absolutely accurate, short yes, but accurate.
@@peacefullife5907 I am older and have had more time to study. I have taught R.E. with an Anglican and Roman Catholic.
They do not read the same Bible . They do not preach the same gospel .The only thing they have in common is they believe in the trinity.
@@wendymitchell8245 How do you know that you are older than me??? I am Catholic so I know first hand you are not speaking the truth about Catholic theology. So be careful if you consider yourself christian, lest your soul suffer the consequences for lying and slandering.
The biggest difference is the Catholic Church persecuted, tortured and killed christians that disagreed on matters of transubstantiation, praying to Mary, Purgatory etc... I mean they excommunicated Columbus for saying the world was round ... Though, they did by papal degree, reinstated him in 1992... very nice of them some 500 years later Though they did not apologize for their error... And this is the problem, no so much the doctrine, but how they behave about their doctrine... You know torturing, killing, burning at the stake people that did not adhere do their doctrine, is where I have a huge problem with the history of the Catholic Church... And they never have apologized this is a problem for the Catholic church, if they did, the Catholic Church would be admitting that they are wrong....and whenever they have ever done that?😳
Matt, thank you so much for spending the time to create and share a video which respectfully highlights some key differences between those 2 faith systems while maintaining throughout that the peoples of those faiths are far more alike than not. At at time in this world when world leaders and politicians would have us believe there are more differences between our brothers and sisters than similarities, and at a time when an educational video such as yours can engender such nasty, petty comments, none of which I hope you have taken to heart, by those so keen to demonstrate their ‘knowledge’ of differences that divide us all, you are a light, and a beacon my friend. Keep creating, keep sharing, keep loving. Good luck!
You left out that Catholic’s have the body of Christ on their crosses where as Protestants don’t.
I am Catholic but I have the protestant empty cross. But the crucifix with Christ on it is a reminder to us what Christ suffered on the cross for us, and that he's our savior.
Amy P the crucifix is s graven image which is forbidden by exodus 20:4,”THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE,(dimensional depiction,statue) OF ANYTHING IN HEAVEN,ON EARTH,OR IN THE WATER UNDER THE EARTH,THOU SHALT NOT BOW DOWN TO THEM OR WORSHIP THEM”
This was the original second commandment until it was changed by the catholic church ,so they could worship statues.open link for proof,it’s not a video.
www.preparingforeternity.com/biblevscat.htm
Amy P the crucifix is an artist conception and does not capture the brutality of the crucifixion.do you know that they actually plucked HIS beard out ?
ISAIAH 50:6,”I GAVE MY BACK TO THOSE WHO STRUCK ME AND MY CHEEK TO THOSE WHO PLUCKED OUT MY BEARD”
@@savedbygrace8867 www.catholic.com/qa/how-can-the-church-allow-statues-when-exodus-20-forbids-it
Amy P good thing you have that little man on the cross to remind you ,or you would never know that
JESUS CHRIST suffered for you and that HE is our savior.
Keep up the good work, Chelsi. You have my encouragement.
I am an Atheist, and I found these comparisons really informative. Thank you.
This is a great video and you did a fantastic job at explaining the differences 👏🏽
I always thought the Church of England was started by the actions of Henry the eighth because the Pope wouldn't recognize his multiple marriages
He didn't go into that in any detail at all. But he did call it out when he said the Anglican church split from Catholics and later joined Protestantism.
@@paulruffins5012 no, it is as simple as King Henry wanting a divorce. If not for that, England would most likely still be largely Catholic today. England had no part in Martin Luther's reformation.
@@Raymond_Petit You are right. In fact Henry wrote books defending Catholicism and he received the title from the Pope "Defender of the Faith" . He would not have asked the Pope for a divorce or annulment if he agreed with Protestantism. It was only when refused he became protestant....
King Henry VIII wanted annulment (which means marriage never happened and children born within this union are bastards), so he can remarry.
But there are conditions to be granted annulment:
-consanguinity too strong
-impossibility to consummate the marriage
Kc.114:14 There is baptism when there is a prophet messenger on earth, and the prophet messengers are the manifestation of God, that is why their books are the Word of God. The prophet messenger is God manifested on earth. Amen! There is the Father, Who is, God manifested above us, the son, who is, God manifested in the person of the prophet messenger among us and the Holy Spirit, God as a Spirit in us.[Ed: The congregation says, Amen]. Bear in mind that the Son of God and the son of man, it is like the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heavens. They are two faces of the same thing. For the elect, John 3:16 will always be alive from generation unto generation till He comes. In every generation, God has always sent on earth, a saviour by whom we are to be saved. When Noah was sent on earth, it was as the only son of God! When Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Amos… were sent on earth, each of them came in his time as the only-begotten son of God so that whoever believes in them has eternal Life. This is the exact truth!

Matt Fyfield, I am a Roman Catholic and I really appreciate your presentation. We need someone like you to talk about this lesson.
😊😊

Nufc, ask yourself. If you can't then go to our uncle GOOGLE.
@@venanciopereira9748 What a rude person you are!
Sonny, whatever you say.... who cares.
@@venanciopereira9748 You proved my point!
A very good, short and concise, presentation of the main issues. I'm a Baptist with deep respect for the Catholic, Orthodox and Coptic Churches.
Hello Catholic here. Really appreciate your comment, Bro!
Good explanation and easily understood. And yes, respectful to both sides. Thank you for uploading this video.
Thank you for the respect your presentation shows to both Catholics and Protestants. Loved it.
Thom, what he presented was evidence that the charismatic movement is still active rather the OP knows it or not. The movement is designed to lure the protestant back to the catholic church by pointing out how much we have in common and therefore should not separate from the catholic church... Jesuit trickery at it's finest
@manky toe nail06 Well all through the dark ages I know the ones who refused to believe in the great whore were killed for not joining the biggest cult in the world!
@Tommy Ray Study Revelation . This term was given to Israel in the O.T.when she followed pagan Gods. Rome under Theodosius made the pagans join the Roman church,by threatening to take their property.See the laws of Theodosius. This was spiritual fornication, and changed the gospel of repentance to join the Roman church only.. Revelation describes the false church in symbolic language . ch.17.v.4- 9
Catholic or Protestant, Jesus loves you! Encourage each other to spread love not hate
I dont hate catholics, they hate me for telling them the truth.
@@paulariveraa3512 doesn't matter what religion someone is, everyone is united through Christ. Religion doesn't save you only Jesus does, there is nothing wrong with being Catholic.
@@vanessaaguilera7464 there's nothing wrong with been a catholic? Who told you that lie? They are sending people to hell, with a false universal salvation that is a universal damednation.
@@paulariveraa3512 No they're not, in order to be save you need faith and works. Faith without works is dead. James 2:17 like I said as a Christian you should be spreading not putting others down. Good day, bye 👋
@@vanessaaguilera7464 Romans 10:9-10 "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."
Faith is all that's required to be saved. For it is God's grace that we may be saved and not our own works.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.
Works and bearing fruit are great of course, but they don't lead to salvation.
Excellent and well explained. Thanks for posting this video.
I am an Atheist, but I found this very educational. Thank you.

slim hriat that’s what I think I think it’s faith that saves us but if we have faith we would do good things ie works

th-cam.com/video/MCVc4rRL53g/w-d-xo.html
I think that Slim Hriat was getting at what you all were somewhat saying about needing faith and works combined, because if you try to "have" one but not the other you won't have either, I know I can have a stronger faith at times and have good works and glorify God with my All and All as He Makes possible through His Life and Sacrifice and as He is good. But it's somewhat like what 1st Corinthians 13 talks about with love and how true love is God's love as He is love as it/He says in the good Ole Word that's Living and Nourishment for our souls as He Intended and Intends good with and for and in us as we Need to be in Him our Father in Heaven together United the Church through His Precious and Almighty Son Jesus Christ, not waver or forfeit, I'm tired of wavering and just settling and "living" with the lies and bad silence and not being open as I should but instead settling for the bad and lies of the past mistakes and Satan whispering that we'll never be good enough as he always tries to until God will Destroy his tongue and silences him, as God Wants and does good as He is good and Loves us Unconditionally and Gave us the Gift of Life and Free Will so we wouldn't be robots and the Walk would be more and actually fully personal and worth it and possible as He Makes possible and through and with Him, we're "fearfully and wonderfully made" part of Psalms 139:11-16, He's Wanting and Making the Best, to have more faith and Stand Strong to and with Him in True and His Truth and Love and Life and Light, He is the Only Way Almighty and Everlasting, and I know that there is alot of differences out there, but I believe we can do Abounding things with God as He Intended Plans and Wants it and to and as He is Abounding and Wants the truth and good to be done, to not waver but Stand Firm to and with Him our Firm Foundation and Truth in Love, not an act or game we play or be lukewarm since that is a dishonor to God as we are Intended be His Children and Created in His Image for a good Purpose to Overcome through Him this corrupted world that He so Graciously is still somehow Making Beautiful and Wonderful, But this is Not Home truely, oh I can only Imagine what a Day that will be! I Hope to see you all and everyone in this group chatting thingy mabob Up There Rejoicing and at the Great Feast, to not fear but be Ready in His good Way, keep doing good and join me as God is Helping us all along together and Wanting the Best, I love you all, as God so Graciously has Given me and Calls for True Love, True Faith. Some other Scriptures that i was reading recently and also stuck out in my Bible as Words to Treasure were James 1:22 talking about having real faith and Living for God our All and All as He is our Example Truely, and then also 2nd Corinthians 7:1. Take care and prayers and love and action all around, Abounding good that is and to be done with and to and by and through Him. But I feel he was getting at if we have a real faith as he said then good works for and with and by and in God will follow and happen aswell and it will be true, i think the key word is "real", but also about that scripture i talked about earlier but never listed before i got on that long process and train of thought of mine that i often do, but to be United in love and truth and even the good differences and to bear with eachother as i read also in the Bible somewhere in the New Testament either Jesus or one of His followers/ the Disciples or Apostles said it through and by God, as He is with and For us Never against us; but also to have Compassion and act upon what God Wants. But that scripture about how God is love, it was in 1st John 4:7-12. There's so much as He is good, Living, Loving and Abounding, He is bringing us Home and making us Complete All in His Time and Way that's Best, just to be open and willing and make truely meaningful. With Love
The passage being referred to says… Faith without works is dead. It doesn’t say… Salvation without works is dead‼️ The works being referred to are works of the spirit, as in love your fellow man. They are not referring to Works of man-made rituals. If you truly have faith, the works will show, automatically, you won’t even be able to help it. If there are no works, and I mean works of the spirit, then there was no faith in the first place. So it all goes back to the truth... Faith alone in Jesus Christ is what saves you, and there are a multitude of passages to confirm that. It is not possible to truly believe in Jesus Christ, and the amazing gift he gave to us, and not want to please him. Most Catholics believe that the works are the most important thing, and that what the works don’t complete, purgatory will finish off. Very bad doctrine
As a Protestant, on #3 you missed the mark on the doctrine of justification. Every protestant confession taught that true faith is followed by works. In fact, John Calvin was the first commentator to begin using 1 John as a series of tests of faith, to prove a professing Christians faith as genuine by his works. Otherwise I wholeheartedly agree we have a lot more in common than usually is thought!
The difference of the doctrine of justification really lies in the intermediaries and sacramental merit. We wholeheartedly disagree that there is any saving merit except faith alone, we hold that our merit and righteousness is from our union with Christ alone, of which the Roman tradition is at variance with us on an individuals acquirement of that union in more ways than one. We especially distinctly hold that it is an entirely alien and foreign righteousness that we now possess by faith. Works being the evidence and fruit of faiths reality or existence. Especially of divergence in Roman tradition, is that works gain merit and establish a kind of righteousness on its own. Not enough space to expound on that. Just as a hard and fast example of these distinctions, we hold that 1 Peter 3:21 is symbolic and at the very least speaking of the baptism which Christ baptizes with, a baptism in the spirit that brings us into union with Christ. "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." 1 Corinthians 12:13 / Matt. 3:11 -- Otherwise, if Peter is speaking about water baptism, we have serious internal contradictions in the New Testament Apostles of which this isn't the space to expand on that either.
Additionally we as protestants never left the Roman Church due to these other doctrines he mentioned, but it was primarily Sola Scriptura which bore the fruit of the doctrine of justification and this was truly the fulcrum of the early reformers issue with the Roman Church. They recognized that the appeal to scripture was not sufficient to establish the doctrine of justification they had discovered there, and these early reformers simply could not with a clear conscience confess and teach differently. Therefore, the eventual excommunication and split. And to meet this fullness of time, the recent advent of the printing press allowed the writings of Luther to spread throughout all of Europe. Thus, an exodus from within the church took place.
Finally, the very name coined "Reformation" proves also that these early men who were split from the Roman church believed they were re-establishing what had been the true church from the days of the Apostles. I understand the disputes and controversies, yet the protestant in me demands that our true doctrinal positions aren't misrepresented. There would have never been a reformation had there not been excommunication of Luther, of whom this "30%-50%" of the Catholic Church found his statements convincing and faithful to the word of God. With his excommunication, followed the excommunication of all who believed his initial statements and explanations. And of those who didn't participate in Luther's excommunication, their were many influenced by Luther's writing to reform the church while remaining within the Roman Church--thus, the counter reformation became a positive turning point for the Roman Catholics.
Rejection passed through the ages... yeah rather then face reality they choose to reject it, many protestants still feel rejected because of the traditions.. I honestly see a middle ground here where the 2 can work together and help each other. I think Christians should be given sanctuary in a catholic church for confession and catholics can share wisdom at protestant churches, faith and works are both necessary but complacency is a human sin not a sin against God. Also many of the old guard reject the church in general because they were unfortunately misjudged and felt rejected. I know their's common ground here but sometimes their are stubbornness and we can't change people.
Thank You. That came across as very informative and the explanation remained neutral (no sides) Impressed. I Needed Your Video.

Congratulations!!!
although I'll have to semi-confirm what you say, I'm grateful for this video. Thank you for doing this.
Great objective explanation. One clarification, Protestants pray directly to God the Father through Jesus who is the High Priest who "sits at the right hand of the Father, making intercession day and night", based on the scripture "there is one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus who gave Himself as a ransom for all".
Why do you think Catholics say the this every Sunday?
Nicene Creed
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen
@@merynco well said. The question then becomes what is baptism? The Greek word baptizo literally means to immerse, bury, plunge, or dip. Every example of baptism performed in the NT is done once one comes to believe that Jesus is the son of God as you have stated. In Romans 6 Paul says it is by being baptized that we participate in Jesus's death, burial, and resurrection. Sprinkling is not a burial, only immersion is and infants are not able to reason and thus believe. So sprinkling water on an infant is not baptism as performed in Scripture. Only the immersion or burial in water of someone who is old enough to believe and confess Jesus to be the son of God is able to be truly baptized and have their sins washed away (Acts 22:16).

@esmund Sorry, it was for Mystery Fan. He admits he doesnt study the bible as he should. The main diff is "Celibate" priests. The Catholic practice that is theirs only, was Castrato in the Vatican. #NOT EVEN raised in this video.......so i have, and explained their significance. Mat 19;12(making eunechs)....1 corinth 14;34 (women MUSNT speak).
because these 2 verses are what they use to defend and justify @CASTRATO.
That is not an apology, nor defendable. In fact, it highlights the RCC is SEXIST, and even "Female-aphobic".....and the biblical reason they dont allow women priests. If they cant Talk, they cant SING in the choir, or PREACH from pulpit either.
It also keeps "NO WOMEN ALLOWED" in Vatican.....where they may have witnessed this practice, or seen the deaths the operation causes....or should i say "Mutilation" causes.
This is what being "politically correct means". Just don't ruffle any feathers; Let truth come second.
thank you, been looking for something like this for a while. I'm not religious, but i love history and knowledge of how we got here.
I have no proof of how we got here, but willing to believe in anything.
Being born in 1995 in America, in the US far from the troubles of Ireland, I've only ever seen a friendly competition between Catholics and Protestants. It's always been looked at similar to opposing/rival sports teams, in my lifetime. Because of this, I've always enjoyed the light jabs shared between the two groups. Most Protestants don't believe Catholics are going to hell, and vice versa, so the other differences no longer matter as much.
Catholics do not believe half half as you assumed on Jesus.
Thank you Jesus for saving me by your grace and not my works ! Because I love him and the salvation he has given me my good works follow
@Ian there will never be heaven on earth by our efforts. / mans innate desire to sin will see to that. / why do you think we need redemption? / we can only be saved if we are lost. / our faith is a gift from God, so to thank him for that grace is not selfish. / works are a fruit of that grace and a response shared toward others. / no where does it say in scripture, either by the words of Christ himself, or in the didactic portions of the apostles, that we are to make heaven on earth. / we are to share the love of Christ, in its many manifestations with others.... and that is as close as we will ever come to heaven on earth, which is a long way off from eternity with the Holy, Eternal, Sovereign God.
@Ian where do i begin?? / what your describing, as well as the ethereal diatribe from pierre, is nothing more than humanism at its most common. / to think that we will become our own Christ...our own messiah is so self-based, why bother bringing God or heaven into the conversation? / most faiths are based on spiritual elements, evidentiary history and written affirmations. / that does not include poetic license in a quote that has no real substance. / the pipe dream of future human perfection is absolute nonsense as has been displayed so overwhelmingly in our own human history. / ethereal quotes and well intentioned philosophers have been around for thousands of years and what is offered has never come to fruition because man is incapable of perfection. / that's why, as traditional as it may sound, a redeemer is needed to bridge the gap, not from man to god, but from God to man. / the great "somewhere" that pierre so readily objectifies is truly more illusionary than anything the bible can be accused of. / as far as the bible...though it has been abused, misused, skewed in all manner, is actually a remarkably accurate and incredibly profound record of the human condition...and its remedy. /after years of study in most of the worlds faiths and religions, i have seen without doubt the validity of its wisdom and the honesty of its truths. / i am sticking with it and refraining from dependent hope on hopeless man. // thanks.
@Ian that is the blasphemy prophesied about ,that would be found in the last days ,men would say they are Christ.
@Ian I take the parts of the Bible literally that are clearly meant to be ,others are not. Such as the symbolism of Revelation. .I am not at the early stages of development ..If you look at the last century apart from the sudden increase in knowledge ,which the Bible prophesied, how has man developed as a being .He is no more intelligent ,just as violent and left to his own way will soon destroy the planet. He has produced atomic power which he cannot control .The Japanese disaster is constantly pumping out radio active water which is killing the life of the Pacific.With dead fish being washed up on the American coast. There is no sign of anything positive in the future. .I think you are the one behaving like a child ,not facing the reality of man's destruction of the planet .
The Bible warns of those who will destroy the earth .God spoke through PROPHETS AND OUTLINED THE FUTURE OF MANKIND. If you bothered to study it you would find the Empires predicted and several like Babylon , Persia ,and Greece named.Then there are numerous prophecies about Israel and the Middle East.Then of course the ones about Jesus birth ,life and death and how he will come back when the Jews are back in their land after being scattered all over the world .That was said hundreds of years before His birth.
@Ian what you fail to realize is that what you are saying has been said for thousands of years. /many philosophers have always embraced the "pursuit of the gnostic". / it is the common deception of the nonspiritual to frame their own imagination as the basis for their "spiritual awareness". / i wasted many years in such pursuits until reality made me realize that i was achieving nothing because i was drawing from nothing. / what you call mythic embryonics is in actuality returning to primary principles of reason and logic. / for example; to take the so-called "scientific" approach to our own existence has a plethora of opinions by men who are trying to circumvent the simple principle that "something cannot come from nothing" ( ex nihilo nihil fit)(out of nothing nothing comes), / this one point has been the path to almost endless pursuit by unarguably erudite people who waste an entire life ignoring the obvious. / one of the primary flaws in the mind of man is that "modern man is more intelligent that the previous generations".. / the truth is that we have more information but not more intelligence. / ultimately, i have come to realize that if i am truly pursuing truth then i have to seek the source that possesses all truth, who was before time and before the material and brought all things into being with power and purpose. / not the nonsensical notion that chance (which has no power) or energy that lacks purpose, brought things into existence. / i find it interesting that people who consider themselves as open-minded pursuers of truth, blatantly and militantly reject out of hand the most viable, logical and even verifiable evidence. / i know you fashion yourself as in the vanguard of modern reason and thought, but what you fail to realize is that you have no foundation from which to stand or ascend... other than self, and that, is an unstable a base to start from as any i can imagine. / what you think is ascending knowledge leading to the ultimate nirvana or utopia is actually a descent into the abyss of self pacification and self deception.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience and findings. Very useful towards becoming one or as you said narrowing the difference and bring people together to live a blessed life on this earth as well as eternity.
Some of this is not true
@@sandraphillips1339 Name them then
This is a great video exactly what I was looking for thank you
Matt you did a lovely job of explaining some key differences between us. it is wonderful that you stress the fact that we are something like 95% alike in our beliefs. I also enjoyed your pictures and diagrams that made the dialogue much more interesting and easy to follow.
I will put forward that the differences in our Bibles, the protestants excluding the Apocrypha, should be in the top 3 because it greatly affects our interpretation of the life of Jesus and makes (IMO) the Catholic version a bit more fantastical.
That would be my choice to substitute in place of the faith vs. works contrast which, as a protestant who has had, at different times, invested several years in Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian and Evangelical churches, and has attended Catholic mass with cousins, in-laws (and graduated from a Catholic college!) my experience is that protestant churches put nearly as much stress on the fact that faith is evidenced by works just as described in James.
Also, a great difference that you didn't mention but is also in the top 3 is the treatment of the clergy with regards to marriage. It was on Martin Luther's 99 theses as he took a wife and strongly protested this rule. So it has pretty strong precedence in the protestant divergence.
That saide, thank you for your work! It is important and appreciated. We are one body!
God bless you!
As a former Protestant pastor who entered the Catholic Church 20 year ago at age 55 (after much struggle) I've now fallen in love with Christ in the Eucharist. To echo St. Paul words, "...beholding Him we are transformed..." (reference?). Beholding Him and receiving Him at Mass has now transformed me as well. By His grace we are saved, through faith.
Hi! i I am a born protestant and after carefully reading the holy scriptures. My father always tells me the 5 solas for w/c the first one is sola scriptura w/c is "bible alone". Im anxious to ask my parents for they may curse me or something because i really do believe on my faith but with a lot of questions contradicting my fellowship church's doctrine. I ask them what do early christians do( the persecutions of early christians) before the bible was put to writ. how do we identify ourselves back then? My father said" there are traditions where the silently do to practice their faith in Jesus" and the i asked them what is that? They just don't tell it. I asked them why Mary is so special to catholics and then again i got no response. I feel them, maybe they really think im gonna convert to catholicism but in fact i just have a feeble mind. i have sleepless nights, analysing the Words of Our Lord. I really wanted to know more .I Got curious about Mary on especially the catholic faith. I got a lot of questions too , specifically on the intercessors. What really is the part of Mary and saints? Why does she have a special mentioning in the bible. I believe that Jesus is God and He is a real man too. Why did God put Him into Mary first? My mind is contradicting the more i want to learn about the truth. I feel anxious lately and having numerous sleepless night thinking about this. Is Mary the woman clothed with the sun and moon under her feet, and on Her Head crowned with 12 stars depicting on the Rev. 12:1-17? So i asked my father when the revelation comes w/c was prophecied and is going to happen, do we side with the woman? He was angry to me that time and i felt bad. I hope someone answers it. Thank you so much
All mu 16 uncles ans their wife are lukewarm christians.. Menaingthey dint know the bible . . like most protestants i met.
No denominatiinnis oerfect except the bible my bible points at u r from babylonian satanic church. So not sure what bible u read
@@blackpinkistherevolution72 if you're 18+ i.e matured, it's lawfull to decide on your own way, Ina lawfull manners. So do search the truth through various ways. Go through history writings, elderly priests etc to confirm your thoughts, give yourself enough time...I'm sure God will reveal....
@@blackpinkistherevolution72 I hope you found your answers and didn't rely on your family; they sounded like they weren't well-versed in Catholicism.
That was very simple and informative. Thank you so much. Could you also make a video about the earlier split of the eastern orthodox church you mentioned at the beginning.
Extremely good breakdown, thanks!!!
Thank you for making this. It's easy to follow and presented in an interesting manner.
there are so many fundamental differences-matt is very over simplistic
We are saved by the grace of God; faith and and good works is our response to God's grace and love.
As a point of clarification, the protestants hold to the idea that prayer is in fact communication. That being the case praying to saints, people who have died, is communication with the dead. This is strictly prohibited in Deuteronomy in that it is in fact a seance. This is an occult practice and thus prohibited. I think that details matter in that they explain the reasons behind a particular practice or rejection of practice.
I really appreciate this video and you explain it very well. 👍🏼
Faith without works is dead,if you claim to be saved ,and you show no fruits of salvation,spread the gospel,feed the poor,love your brothers,then obviously you are just kidding yourself !
Sorry not true. Book of James is about justification in man's eyes not salvation. James was speaking to Christians or bro in Christ. Read James again.
Jason Thompson i think what i was saying is works is proof of salvation we do not have to prove anything to GOD.it is for our own benefit,also if you think that you are saved but you do not bear fruit ,you’re deceiving yourself.
The bible says.EPHESIANS 2:8+9,”FOR YOU ARE SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH AND NOT OF YOURSELF IT IS A GIFT OF GOD AND NOT OF WORKS LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST”
Jason Thompson show me where it says justification in man’s eyes please.
Jason Thompson ROMANS 5:1,”THEREFORE BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH,WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST”
The only justification is in GOD’S eye not in men’s eyes.
JESUS didn’t die for us to be justified in the eyes of men.
Jason Thompson The very word justification is the removal of guilt,not from men,but from GOD.
Thank you for the quick and informative primer. I grew up as a Lutheran and I've had Catholic girlfriends but still never quite really understood the differences. Even a block away from my grammar school there was a Catholic school. I thought it seemed dark and kids were punished there more harshly, and also some of the bad kids at our school (juvenile delinquents as they were "officially" called back then) would often get sent there, so I just assumed they were strict authoritarians who would discipline those kids into straightening up.
But because of this for many years I had my suspicions about those Catholics and what they were up to! Thankfully I out grew that and even once a Catholic nun actually baked me a blueberry pie, just for me! (thanks to my Catholic gf at the time, haha!) But now I'm a happy Taoist so it's all good is how I like to think about it, but up until now I never understood their obsession to praying to Mary, but now I understand! I love learning things that have previously perplexed me for many years! LOL
Now I'm going to check into Taosim, but Christianity is about a relationship with God, through Christ (listen to the words of the Lord's prayer). All humans have sinned adn fallen short of the glory of god, so we need to repent and ask Christ to forgive us all our sins and believe that his death and resurrection paid the price on our behalf and by the power of the Holy Spirit, we can live clean lives (not 100% sinless, but that is our goal to live in love).
@@MarilynCrosbie you can be a Christian and also know practice some Taoist principles too. Many Taoist beliefs are very similar or the same as in Christianity, it's just we don't ascribe them to Christ but we may call them universal principles. We also do some pretty serious self observations and acknowledgement of wrong doings and forgiveness to others and also to ourselves. We believe, and even science agrees, that everything is energy. But energy comes in many many forms. Our bodies can only move because of energy, our thoughts and emotions are energy. By understanding the different energies we can live a better healthier and happier life. And we can respect and love our neighbors when we appreciate that they exist and indeed share all the same energy principles. Jesus even talked about this but not many people really understood it.
The Buddha who lived 500 years before Christ also taught many of the same things and traveled all over the country side and there are many stories called Sutras of what he did and what he said. The same thing Jesus did as are told in the Parables in the Bible. You would be amazed to see the similarities. At least I was. Truth is truth no matter how it's told. Sometimes in different words or storied but if it is really truth then it should be universal.
But all that aside if there is one thing I like to promote from Taoist studies is how important it is to take care of our bodies. Our bodies are a temporary vessel for our souls and like a vehicle for us to learn and grow. And unconditional love is also the goal. To give love without expectation of anything in return, otherwise if you are expecting a return then who are you really doing it for? Of course as you said we are not 100% perfect but we strive to be and do the best we can every day. Thank you for your kind reply and I wish you all the best! :)
Mr. Fyfield I wonder and i will appreciate that you tell me what is your reference in these lecture? Its important for me what is your book. Are you referencing this info from thd HOLY BIBLE KJV OR WHAT? So i can refer it to for correction and proof. Thank you.
can you also do a video on the differences between Catholics and Orthodox Christians?
Sounds like a good overview to me. Thanks for the work.
Well done, God bless you
Thanks for sharing. I love it!
This helped me so much, thank you! :)
Very informative! Congratulations! We should understand each others. I love The last part: catholics and protestants praying and working together in peace.
You would have to clarify what doctrines that have been altered. Thanks
@@joemen3332 its not a domination thing and some prostestant churches are araiminian. I if you look at the two different views I don't think you will find separation from GOD. Both views believe the basic foundation of salvation and everyone agrees that if really accepted Christ your heart at some level will show that and works abound. Now we will all be at different levels of works and there is no line drawn in the bible so thats where i leave it.
Very informative! Thank you so much!
Well explained...keep it up😊
What an excellent presentation. Concise, accurate, fair, unbiased, non-controversial explanation.
As a former Protestant and now convert to the Catholic Church I think this this is spot on.
Thank you.
I enjoyed it thanks.I realise your trying to make it simplistic as possible, show basic principles only and that's great. However When you read some of the comments here it kind of explains mankind. An example of this perhaps is the interpretation of
( 'I didn't say he stole the money')
Thanks Harpo. I love that sentence. Because of course I didn't say he stole the money.
@@mattfyfield Great answer
Yes ....the comments show how CONFUSED mankind is with this faith. Its all the Contradictions> what is right?
The MAIN diff....is Celibate Priests! The video didnt even mention this......

How could you love this? This is heresy talking falsehood about your religion. I get it. You don't even know your Catechism.
Did a great job on the video keep up the good work
That really was great and helpful. Thanks.
I was a convert from Protestant to Catholic at age 22. From my personal experience, there is so much hatred and bias from protestants to Catholics. Protestants would attack catholics like they know what they are talking about even though it is so far away from the truth.. On the other hand, Catholics are so accommodating and consistent in regarding protestants as their brothers and sisters. Catholics tend to have a lot of wisdom and consistency over the church teaching in the last 2000 years. I wish protestants could be less angry at us. I am proud to say from my personal experience when I asked any priests and church parishioners, we were always told to be accommodating and be meek and mild. I cannot tell what happened in the history when the church split, but I trust my own judgement and experience that I personally have had by interacting with protestants and Catholics in my past 40+ years.
"I cannot tell what happened in the history when the church split, '
Orthodox aside who still have valid Holy Orders and recognize all 7 Sacraments, a 16th c priest in central europe said he knew better than the faith passed on for the previous 1500+ years. He created new doctrines, all man-made and the princes followed him. Protestantism today follows him or his contempories, all errant Catholics, one a priest and the other a lawyer. None of them had any authority whatsover. In the end, it always gets down to just that: authority. Who has it, and who doesn't.
Wendy Hong
Poor thing...
Well you better switch back quickly. When you were a Protestant did you study the Book of Revelation? (Catholics don't read their bible much) There are five descriptions of the whore of Babylon or the Antichrist Church and the Roman Catholic Church meets all five and Only the Roman Catholic Church. What are they? 1, the Hora Babylon wears purple and red. Cardinals wear purple and red 2. It's a church. 3 it rules of over many tongues and Nations, it's a huge church. 4. she sits on the land of Seven Hills. Rome is the land of Seven Hills. 5. She is the mother of harlots. The Catholic Church claims that it is the mother of the Protestant churches. And those Protestant churches that sign an agreement with the Catholic Church, will be punished as part of the Antichrist Church. So far that's the Lutheran Methodist and Presbyterian churches. I grew up in the Methodist church but I am methodist no more. Please look this up for yourself.
@@kubiyoshi2744 the Catholic Church did not write Revelation. Also did you even look up the points that I made? The five points to the Antichrist Church? That the Roman Catholic Church The Only entity that meets those five criteria? Before you comment at least look up the facts and see if they are true because they are. I'm trying to help you. Revelation 18 says get out of the Antichrist church so you do not suffer her penalties.
If what I'm saying is false, then prove from scripture where it's false. At least research this for yourself before you count it as heretical.
@@kubiyoshi2744 again you're not looking at my information to verify if it's true. Please do that first and then comment. Every point I make can be verified by scripture.
People, you need to watch both Steve Ray & Scott Hahn. Both used to be Protestant. They ended up converting to Catholic.
Scott Hahn is amazing
We Den they would only change to R.C.teaching if they did not understand the gospel ,and were not converted to Christ.
Follow jesus and his base St. Peter
Jesus give authority to appostals then Pope and cardinals and Bishop and prists
@@wendymitchell8245 I am an evangelical Christian who feels no need to convert to Rome. But one problem evangelicals have to deal with is that many of us belong to churches that have short histories. A lot of us belong to churches that began in the 1830's or the 1870's on the American frontier. We went to small chapels or store front churches that were poorly maintained. It is a surprise to grow up in these churches and then read about men like Augustine or Saint Francis. Going to Europe and seeing the magnificent Cathedrals is challenging. Also the artwork in some of these European Cathedrals is impressive. I remain an evangelical Christian because I see how the gospel transform lives. The gospel of Christ makes a person a new person in Christ. He or she leaves their sin and goes on to become a child of God.
Very good, absorbing, clear, unbiased presentation.
Thank you for that video that help me soo much to understand the difference
Faith without works is dead, but the reason for that is because faith produces works. Hebrews chapter 11 has some examples of faith producing works. I'm Southern Baptist, and that's what we believe. In fact, in the book of Galatians, it mentions "faith working through love."
Furthermore, Galatians chapter 3 plainly says we receive the Spirit by faith and Galatians 5:22 talks about the Fruit of the Spirit.
Jesse Griffeth totally agree. Plus why would I ask someone else (priest) to pray for me when I have a high priest in the order of Melchesidec (Jesus Christ) to pray for me? I have spoken with many Catholics and many, if you ask them if they are Christian answer “no I’m catholic”. If you ask me that question I do not tell you what denomination or abomination that I hold. The answer will come forth “yes”
@@mystwolfe7791 I am a Christian. I mentioned Southern Baptist to specify which denomination. However, I agree that being a Christian is infinitely more important than what denomination someone identifies with.
Jesse Griffeth oh I know. I was just adding to the conversation. I made no judgement on you my friend. I could tell you are a fellow believer in Christ. God bless.
@Josh I'm not ignoring James and the worthless faith. I'm saying true faith produces works. Works are the fruit effect of true faith. When James refers to dead faith, it's referring to people claiming to have faith but no works to show it. It's speaking of fake faith. In fact, I one time read a footnote that says there's no dichotomy between faith and works.
Also, I pray for other people regularly. I just believe that people should be able to pray directly to God and ask God Himself for forgiveness.
@@JesseGriffeth Then you must conclude that Catholic have great saving faith due to all the Good works that the Church and its members perform. The Catholic Church does not teach that works will save them. Justification is by Grace
This is a really nice video thank you for making it. I wish we could all just love each other as all religions teach and there would be no war or hate in the world. Imagine a world full of love and no hate.
Only time that will happen is when Christ returns.
That was what GOD intended it to be but Satan turned it around. Satan is working at it since millenniums. He created various religions and the fake denominational Christianity empowering him Spiritually and the Powerful elites bent on taking over the world for him. All wars were for fulfilment of their plan . We have only little time left. Let's wake up and call on our SAVIOUR Yeshua Jesus Christ .
This helped me understand and bit more! Thank you! I find it sad that we’ve divided because of these differences but just like you said! We should still pray together and be at peace!
I also wonder as a Roman Catholic if I have to search for bibles or labels that are for Catholics?
Really wished my Sunday school taught me more about this but at least I’m left to search and follow on my own
You need to read a Catholic bible which has all of the inspired books and a translation approved to be without error.
American Standard and Revised American Standard Bible are Catholic Bibles.
@Rib_Guy_101
The NAB is the translation that the church uses for liturgical purposes and it is very helpful with its footnotes. When I want a degree of precision it is the translation I most often use. But I take issue with at least one verse in its translation: Luke 1:28 “Hail, favored one! Yuck!!! Jerome captured it best with "Hail, full of grace".
I am agnostic and found this incredibly helpful. I was raised Protestant, and I’m writing a story about someone who is Catholic. I know they’re similar but I needed some extra research. Glad I found this. :)
Angel ,it is not accurate .
i love your explaination and now ik why i always desired to be Catholic
My humble opinion - If the Holy Spirit have no room to operate in the church it will split and split until they are erased.
Assuming there are people within the group that recognize that the Holy spirit is being quenched. Sadly, sometimes no one in a church group recognizes this so the group continues for years. Also, people need to understand the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. Again, sadly, many do not. As an aside, I got quite the shock when I discovered the ugly carnal behavior of a woman who was a group leader in the "things of the Holy spirit". I had admired her as a spiritual leader, but when she attacked me with a very unkind treatment, that brought her down to size in my eyes. All Christians are capable of behaving in an unchristian way. Hopefully, she came to realize that her behaviour was sinful.
Michael Rualzakhuma
Brother that is job of devil to split
Plus Holy Spirit has plenty of room and yes he leaves that person who separates himself from God and comes to you, for example, but not to start new churches but to fix people He left in one Church we have, because Church as was Jesus is pure but we’re not we sin we are bad, not Church, Judas was bad not Jesus
Apostles were bad not Jesus
What do you think about this
@@wakeupcall8188 It depends on how you define split. Sometimes, there is no moving foward in a group of Christians. Some want to keep things the same week after week and allow no room for any changes that would be more helpful for some members. They can be very stubborn and unbending on things that are really not worth resisting, such as if you add new worship songs to the service that the youth enjoy singing. i haecv seen issues like this separate members of a church, yet, they still say hello in the grocery store or the doctor's office when they are about in their community. Simply because a group of Christians choose to meet in another location, such as a community hall, rather than the church building, that is not necessarily an evil thing. It's not ideal, but not something to fret about. it is better than having constant disagreements while attending the same service year in year out. that is why there are various denominations - different groups emphasize different teachings. No human group is infallible and has all the truth. we are on a journey of learning over time, at least we need to be learning every day about God and his teachings and His will.
Marilyn Crosbie
Dear sister I see genuine and loving spirit in you and that God dwells there and you are capable to realise and see the truth so please, use that gift don’t quench that spirit
- Bear with me, pray over it and use That Spirit, your faith, logic and reason, and tell me if I’m wrong
-I’ll start from your last statement that no group is infallible and have all truth,
-In short, sister, Apostles did and all those who follow Apostolic Tradition still have
-Sister Jesus is that Truth and He delivered that truth to all of us TO RECEIVE HIM PROPER WAY, HIS WAY COMPLETELY, IN WHOLE, NOT TO PICK AND CHOOSE and started with Apostles
- Apostles did, because they received Him and delivered that truth to their disciples
and they did because they receive Him and delivered that to next generation of disciples
All the way till today
- But not everyone
- Some didn’t
- Some did a little bit
- Some did in twisted way
- What they all have in common is they have chosen what’s truth they take from Christ and what to believe about Jesus, and they can split or start something new like Arians for example, saying that Jesus is not Devine, not God the Son
They have left sound doctrine, Apostles and Apostolic Tradition
1 John 2:19 KJV
[19] They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out , that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
For similar reasons, many epistles existed and even Jesus’s letters to seven churches in revelation
Their truth was not Apostolic Tradition was not Jesus’s truth, was not Jesus
- If your saying is correct sister and they are not infallible then why we follow their doctrine, why we trust bible, how we know truth and what to follow
- It’s not just for them and that time either because Jesus said Go Baptise All Nations In The Name Of The Father, Son And Holy Spirit
-All this I’ve explained is
One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, Body of Christ, that Jesus established
- That same Church put Bible together to separate that truth, that sound doctrine from heresies or that time
- Church fathers disciples of Apostles continued same way in Baptism, Holy Mass Eucharist, faith, morals and delivering us that same way and all the way till today
SO, FROM ALL THIS, SISTER, WE CAN NOT SEPARATE ourselves and start something new, because we separate ourselves from Christ and starting something of our own
I hope you see that
- Neither Jesus nor Holy Spirit would ever say that to someone to split His Church
- I can go in detail but I’ll wait for your response
Mine Is already too long
- Church is pure clean in teachings and faith and morals
- As I said before, we are not, so were ever we go, we “contaminate” that area with our sins, because we are sinners and if one leave His Church, that Jesus established, as a sinner, didn’t change it’s heart, what makes you think, that one will be better ( I mean fully better , to become Saints) in some groups with less truth, one in theory can, of course, if changes one’s heart, which again go back to us, as problem, ignorance of truth and spiritual sloth of Jesus and everything one had before or to do what’s one wants to do, not what one’s supposed to do
So it’s not Church to blame not Jesus to blame but us
If someone leaves, like in 1500, in reformation, any little tiny things becomes big problem because there is no final Authority and me as pastor, I’m an authority and you as member if you agree or not, or as long as you agree
- So yesterday we split from pastor John
- today me and you are together,
- tomorrow I’m leaving you and starting new church
- come on sister think about who was led by Holy Spirit in first place here, pastor John, me or you, or none, we all have done splitting and maybe is just our judgment of things,
- so in this cases what is really true and how we know that what I thinks truth
- In Catholic Church we know, because Apostles believed same way, worshiped same way and commands us to do same way and they haven’t done any splitting
- I just wanna point to something
- I’m not talking about name of denomination here because Catholic Church is not denomination
- She’s Christ’s Bride, His Body, Devine Marriage, One True Church but even here that name, doesn’t save, so I’m not preaching name here but Faith doctrine worship and only Jesus saves,
- I know that many Catholics just have that title, nothing more, but majority believe same as Apostles because they gave their hearts to Jesus
- Jesus is with others as well, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE WITH HIM, IN JESUS
- He went to get that one sheep that left the flock but for the reason, strong enough, that sheep is still outside, with Christ, but not in Christ, He’s watching He loves that sheep, He’s working oh her, so she can come back to His Flock, to His Church to Noah’s ark, because “flood” is coming and ark is created by God, through men He has chosen, inside of Ark is safe, but “stinks” sometimes, because of us, sinners,
Sometimes, some “sinners”want to eats each other, but majority is calm and in Spirit of God in love and God is in control
He promised that, Gates of Hell, “Flood”, won’t prevail and the way to salvation, to safety, to everlasting new life is narrow and rough but, He gave us an Ark, to protect us from that Flood on our way to salvation
Come Home my dear sister and may God bless you on your journey
Love and peace always

Thanks for the video and explanation. Part of my family are french Catholics, and I felt very uneducated on their belief system. Just a question though, do Catholics have an active clergy? like a supranational entity they follow?
And what is the stance of Catholics with regards to liberalism and secularism ? Do some catholics consider the implementation of some Biblical concepts into public life (like prohibition of usury for example) ?
Very well done and spot on. Thanks
I found this so helpful and straightforward. Thank you! :)
So happy it was helpful.
You got wrong at your first statement about reading the same Bible.
I was about to say the same thing because according to history Catholics have the true bible before 1517 when they split up and Martin Luther took care of throwing away 6 to 7 books away from it because he didn't agree with it. Who's he to go against God's rules?

66 vs 73
@@uncleruckus2974 yes 73 books that Jesus left behind for all to studying and obey. 66 that the Devil wants others to read, so that you don't get all the info. Notice how 66 resembles the number 666? Umm I've didn't think of that, until now and the 73, if you take the seven, it reminds me of seven heaven. Well I'm glad my bible has 73 books, wouldn't want that 66 in my house. God bless you brother!!!
@@SoyElegidaPorDiosEnSuCatolica Actually Luther was not the only one who decided to take books out of the bible. , but it is always better to blame someone we all know than introduce more people. The Books taken out of the canon of scriptures were the ones that either were full of history or had conflicting doctrines with established scripture.
Even the Jews do not hold with those same books as being scriptural.
However they can still be used from an historical nature.
Thanks for this informative video!
Thank you! I finally understand it.
Difference between Protestant beliefs and Catholic beliefs are miles apart!
Works have nothing to do with one's Salvation as it is a Free Gift from God. We can do nothing to obtain Salvation. The Works comes in as a result of our Salvations. James is talking about doing works upon one’s Salvation and if there are no works then their Salvation and Faith is dead. If one is saved, the Holy Spirit comes into them and as a result, the Holy Spirit directs our good works of SPREADING the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST and praying continuously, helping especially the downhearted and poor with what is at our disposal!
If you have not the Holy Spirit, you will not even think to help spread the wonders of Jesus, much less help anyone!
The Catholic Church encourages the veneration of Mary and all their saints, at least one for each day of the year! They place Statutes and kneelers along the alters to allow the faithful to worship Mary and the Saints. No image shall you bow down to and worship!?
The Only Mediator between man and God, is the Man-God, Jesus Christ!
A lot of difference in the Catholic & Protestant’s beliefs. That belief comes from God’s Holy Word, written down in the Bible!
As a very young and devote Christian, I worshiped at interfaith prayer meetings with what we called Charismatic Catholics - they had recently come to believe in the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives I think. I spent much of my Christian life trying to be the peacemaker, as Matt Fyfield as done here.
But as time went on, I learned of more and more historical differences between Roman Catholics and Protestants - the people are much alike, but the machinations of the organization has been filled with very, very disturbing differences. After seeing the generally accepted history of both, I can now say that the Catholic Church organization, and many of it’s teachings, are so profoundly different in so very many ways - ways that I believe have even been predicted by Biblical prophesy. The Vatican grows increasingly dark so quickly now, that I now side with Luther, who said he’d go along with the Council of Nicaea, but after that the Papacy is on their own. I enjoy the freedom and relative simplicity in mostly non-denominational settings. Trust the Word, Trust in Our Lord Jesus Christ, and pray to him as other as you like with no need for a priest (see Hebrews). I think when the Roman Catholic Church merged with Rome, they inherited so very, very complicated problems. I choose Jesus, I choose the assembly of the saints (all believers that is) and I choose to Father and Holy Spirit, and I choose to trust the Bible about all that it says, and am still learning, but I believe this is what our Lord intended. I don’t want to offend any true believers in the Catholic world, but I think I have been silent about all this too long.
The more problems with in the Protestantism because it ends up of 45,000 or more churches, watch the conversion story of Steve Ray a Baptist Church scholar, Dr. Scott Hahn, Dr. David Anders, so many of them on TH-cam to inform you more on the difference between Catholicism and Protestantissm.
The end is what I came here for! Ty!
beautiful presentation. thank you
0:12 _"they read the same Bible"_
1) not same canon, since a Catholic Bible has "72 books, or 73 of you count Baruch separately from Jeremiah".
2) not same translation, since to Catholics King James and even more explicitly Evangelical ones are a nono, and to Protestants the Douay Rheims is often either unknown or suspect.
You are correct. The Book that I love most from the Original Bible is one of the 7 ones that were taken out by Luther when he mutilated it. It is the Book of Wisdom. When my father died, I selected a reading from this Book for his Funeral Mass and I read it while I cried. It is Wisdom 3:1-9 Wisdom 3: 1 - 9
1
But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them.
2
In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and their departure was thought to be an affliction,
3
and their going from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace.
4
For though in the sight of men they were punished, their hope is full of immortality.
5
Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God tested them and found them worthy of himself;
6
like gold in the furnace he tried them, and like a sacrificial burnt offering he accepted them.
7
In the time of their visitation they will shine forth, and will run like sparks through the stubble.
8
They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will reign over them for ever.
9
Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his elect, and he watches over his holy ones.
When we have faith we will naturally become good and do good work naturally
@the_BackBurner 0311 I get what you're trying to say, but here on earth ppl can never be good only better, and that happens when ppl become "born again" [John 3:3]. The Bible says: There is none righteous [good], no, not one. Romans 3:10. Only in heaven will people be "good" naturally.
Would that that were true!
@@DanKoning777 God does not make us better, we are sinful, evil in His sight.
No, God puts us to death, we are then raised in new life in Christ.
Ahh..no, Jesus was perfect and addressed being called "Good".. Only The Father on Heaven..☝
Inquisitors during 1600 and Crusader would have something to say to you about their murders.
They had faith, they kill people anyway, and they thought that they were right so maybe they did not even confess it.
Who knows..
We only know that the true church is the Catholic church and that Mary is the Queen of Heaven
There’s a place in Baltimore called Our Daily Bread Employment Center staffed by Catholic Charities. It provides counseling for addiction, employment, and free meals. I’ve volunteered several times with my parish and have seen volunteers from Protestant denominations as well. We work together serving those in need and that has more impact in the lives of others (read Matthew 25). On December 25, 2018 , the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation took over cooking and serving meals so Protestants and Catholics could spend time with their families. We have more in common that what separates us.
Can you possibly make a short video explaining how since the Catholic Church is centralized and service is almost identical worldwide, how does that look? Or like what exactly do you mean by that.
Sorry for asking! Im just having trouble conceptualizing this, like are there specific steps that every Catholic mass follow? Like reading first, second lesson, 3rd singing etc?
Im not that religious so sorry if my understanding is wrong, I'm just curious!
Thanks for the simple explanations, which I think are generally very good. However, I think that protestants also generally agree that "faith without works is dead" as after all that's what the Bible clearly teaches. Not sure why you don't make that point.
''Once saved always saved'' is an unfortunate expression of ''walk by faith''
It is my belief that good work is the natural consequence of faith, not a requirement in order to get into Heaven. If getting into Heaven is your goal, then doing good works is just vanity. Our purpose on earth is to love the Lord and our fellow man.
@@helenmorton4155 Agree! No good work will achieve salvation. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away Isaiah 64:6
@@bryanmassa6051 UNTIL we ask and receive Jesus's deletion of our sins and let him be Lord of our lives BY obeying Him. Then God father calls us holy!
To Bryan Massa. I also believe in the New Testament above/before the Old Testament. "He that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." I think it's John 3:16, not sure. I can't quote scripture well.
Sorry for the length of this. The video is balanced, but some here felt the need to explain why Protestantism is "better" than Catholicism. My response:
Jesus founded a church. He didn't write a book. The Church existed before the Bible existed, and it was in fact the Church - the institution - which collected and authorized books of Scripture to be joined together AS the Bible. Therefore, it makes no sense to me that some would insist that the Bible is the sole source of authority, when the Church existed before all of the New Testament was written, and before it made the Bible a reality. Until the Reformation, the Church was guided, not only by various Scriptures, but by oral tradition and sacred custom and tradition. It was not without authority before the Bible came into being, and to suggest that God only uses the written word to convey "TRUTH" is to place limitations on God. Many of the apostles and the first Christians didn't even didn't read! It' untrue by the way, as believed by some, that Luther created the first Bible in the vernacular. The Catholic Church NEVER forbade it being in the language of the people, and did in fact authorize at last three versions in the vernacular before Luther. though they weren't widely disseminated. What the Church forbade was individuals interpreting the Bible for themselves, as Christ entrusted care for His Church and His teachings to His apostles - the first bishops - not to laymen!
In addition to this, the Holy Spirit - who Jesus said would always be with His Church - inspired Christians to adopt practices that are not specifically spelled out in Scripture, but which can be traced to it. For example, Catholics, some Anglicans, and the Orthodox venerate (not worship) saints. They see saints as being part of an extended family, members who advocate for us and help us. In Revelations, we read about the saints in heaven presenting golden bowls to the Lamb, which contain the prayers of the people on earth. If our prayers go directly to God only - if we are not to pray (speak) to saints, then why were the saints presenting our prayers TO God, acting as intermediaries? Likewise, in the Old Testament we read of a man who was robbed, killed, and thrown into a cave, where his body fell on the bones of Elisha. He was restored to life, not because the bones - relics - had magic power, but because God chose to work a miracle through them. Based on this, many Christians venerate relics, honor them, for God may choose to work miracles through them, or icons - or anything else HE chooses.
During the Reformation, England, just as an example, lost an estimated 2/3 of its religious cultural heritage. Churches, convents and monasteries - which had provided spiritual comfort and corporal aid to millions for centuries - were destroyed, sold, or converted to Protestant establishments. Statues, crucifixes, stained glass and other works of are were destroyed. Shrines were looted and closed, libraries were decimated, traditions banned, memorials to the dead destroyed or altered, the bodies of saints dug up and burned, and on and on. Yes, there were problems that needed addressing, but the Reformation - which was a top-down phenomenon, with the people following their princes and kings - was motivated to a large degree by greed. Today there are a gazillion Protestant churches, each with its own "take" on what the Bible means. The movement fractured again and again, because Luther's vision - one of reform - morphed into something else, with the baby being thrown out with the bath water.
Gunnar Thorsen An excellent comment.
Why are there so many differences between what Catholics teach & their Vulgate translation compared to protestant teachings & the received text? Why do you claim that there was no scripture before the reformation & the church was guided by tradition when the old testament was written over 2000 years (well parts of it anyway) before the reformation? There are many warnings in the new testament about the dangers of following tradition so why would Christ have a church based on it when some of His earliest teachings include that He is the Word? Your opening line claiming the video was balanced is as good an indication as any that you have no idea what scripture teaches, no mention of Mary worship, eternal hellfire, purgatory, immortal souls confession to a priest among many pagan ideas adopted into the catholic church.
Gunnar: Thank you so much for the explanation. One of, if not the best explanation I've ever heard.
The "church" you put so much faith in, became corrupted. That's why the reformation happened. When something goes bad and there is no chance of righting it, you abandon it. That's what the people did in the 1500s. They abandoned a corrupt church and continued with a pure church.
@@jimwilliams3517 The Catholic Church was attacked from the very moment it was established by Jesus. How can such a corrupt and "demonic" religion last for 2,000 years without divine intervention? The Catholic Church is the only Church being attacked both from within and externally.
"The gates of hell shall not prevail against it" - Jesus Christ
Matthew 16:18
Great video 👍you explained it simply but thoroughly.
hey 3:50 did you say that Pope's can "sack" priest or did you say "sect them" It might be obvious but I just would like a clarification. Take care!
Even we as protestant believers believe that faith without work is dead! How can you judge a person without knowing their mind
It's not about Religion. It's about a Relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior. On judgement day, God isn't going to ask us what denomination were we. He will say 1 of 2 things. You have done well my good and faithful servant or Go away from me. I never knew you. Everyone is either going to Heaven or Hell. Heaven is everlasting life with Joy, Peace, LOVE. Hell is a million times more terrifying than your worst NIGHTMARE. Thousands ARE going to Hell. Thousands don't believe in Hell. They will when they get there. Demons are waiting to torment them forever. ALL because they REJECTED Jesus as their Savior and are EVIL. Jesus died on the Cross for our sins. Jesus defeated Satan at the Cross. In the Bible, Nichodemus asked Jesus. How can I enter the Kingdom of Heaven? Jesus told him. You must be Saved and Born again to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. No man goes to the Father except through his son Jesus Christ. On judgement day, ALL knees will bow and all tongues will confess that Jesus is Lord. Question is. Where are YOU going after you die? Heaven or Hell. You choose.
Not an intelligent question.
Protestants and Catholics use different Bibles. Your statement is incorrect.
@Collins Anosike But those seven books were removed because they weren't biblically sound. Good job Martin Luther!
@George Jobanyway... There is no use in deep investigation.... All we want is we want to be in heaven... If we do deep investigation.. Satan might confuse us... So rather than this stuff tell people about Jesus and make them come to heaven
@Collins Anosike The more I learn about Martin Luther and the more I learn about the RCC , the more distance I will put between my beliefs and theirs.
@Collins Anosike find me a doctrine in Judith.
The catholic bible has been altered several times lots of bits got taken out over the years and new bits put in when science proved a section was a lie.
Garden od eden bit with Adam and eve has been altered. Originaly it said god created Adhim and Lillith from dust. Adhim meaning men not a name of a person. words ending him in hebrew is plural. like elo is god. elohim is gods.
When Lillith refused to obey Adhin god bannished her from the garden and put Adhim into a deep sleep and pulled out a rib to create Eve as a slave to Adhim. to obey his every command.
Catholic church believes women have no power and r the root of all evil. Protestants believe men and women r equel and works more like the druidea religion that predecded christianty. protestants can have female priests catholics cant.
Catholics pray to more than 1 dieghty. protest like the druidea only pray to 1.
Catholics r more like the Romans who created it have a diff god to pray to for diff things. IE if ur traveling u pray to st christopher to keep u safe. If u want to fall in love u pray to st Valentine who is the roman god of love Venus. The roman god Saturn became satan. The drudea sun became Jesus.
All christianty did was change the names of the stars and planets into gods. Druidea only worshipped mother earth. the planets and stars were looked at to see when the best time was to plant crops and breed animals. for that they used places like stonehendge which weas built as a calender sp when the sun was over a paticular stone it was time to do something the stars also had to be over certains stones to show the season.
IE 22nd december in ancient times the sun was at its lowest point in the sky. it didnt get higher or lower for 3 days. in the night sky where the sun would of been was the crux consletaltion also known as the southern cross. so to the Druids the sun was crucified on the cross. hence the celtic cross having a circle in the middle.
On the night of the 24th/25th december the 3 stars in orions belt known as the 3 kings lined up with sirius the brightest star in the sky and pointed to where the sun wouyld rise on the 25th. On the 25th the sun started getting higher in the sky again signaling the coming end of winter thats the resurection.
Easter is when the sun rose over a diff stone signaling Spring had arrived and time to plant crops. The winter sulstice was when it was time to start breeding animals and humans so they were born at a time when there was plenty of food and so they could be strong enough to survive the next winter.
Just about everything Christians believe came from the celts. They stole Celtic symbols and use them as Christian symbols. Changed a 1 god system into a multi god system.
Celts had a 1 god system in pre Eygptian times long before the Hebrews wrote the torah.
The celtic religion was created around 50'000BCE and was the very 1st religion invented by man. 1 god mother earth the creater of all life. They lived in harmoney with mother earth only look what they needed to survive. If they chopped down a tree for wood they prayed to mother earth in thanks then planted a new tree in its place. When they killed an animal for food they prayed to mother earth to thank her for the food. The blood and bones were mixed and dried and put back into the ground as fertilsor to help the crops grow. it was their way of giving back something they took.
Christians just keep taking from mother earth and give nothing back.
Celts folowed all the comandments. Christians ignore most of them.
There is over 600 commandments in the bible but only 10 ever get quoted and used. Those 10 came from the Eygtian book of the dead and just got reworded.
There is nothing original in the bible everything was taken from religions that came before it. They just changed the wording or meanings to get power and money.
The catholic church banned teaching, medicine, reading, writting. Thats what started the dark ages and the inquistion. Anyone found to be healing someone was branded a witch and burnt at the stake. 1 pope wanted to prove how much power he had and demanded that everyone belive the earth was flat even though it had been known to be round for thousands of years. Anyone who refused to accept it was burnt at the stake as a heretic.
When England broke away from the catholic church the pope orderd every catholic country was to go to war with England to force them back in again. Spannish Aramada was part of that war. As was the 100 years war. England fought off every attempt to bring England back to the catholic fold.
So kings and queens were killed to get a catholic king or queen on the thrown to get them back that way. Other countries followed England out of the catholic church as they didnt like being dictaded too by the pope on what they could and couldnt do.
If u failed to turn up in Church on sunday no matter the reason u were burnt at the stake as a heretic. U might of got attacked on the way to church and had ur legs broken no excuse for not turning up.
Christmas day used to be in july. u had to be in church from midnight to midnight. not allowed to eat or drink anything for 24 hrs u were only allowed to be on urs knees in church praying. if u fell ill in church u were burnt at the stake.
St nicholas day was in early december. thats to celibrate nico clause a toy maker from lapland who every year hitched up his raindeer and sliegh and took toys to the orphanes in lapland. 1 night he went out and never came back. His family went looking for him and found him 3 days later frozen solid. he got caught in a blizzard and froze to death. The word santa is spanish for saint. So he became santa clause. His outfit was green not red. The red came about cause of coka cola in the mid 1950's the green clashed with their red label so in adverts they put santa in red instead of green and its been red ever since.
A pope noticed ppl were far happier celibrating st nicholas day than christmas day so he merged the 2 together and put it on the Drudea holiday of the 25th december.
The crusades came about cause an emisary of the pope came back from the middle east and said the arabs refuse to be christians but they have a lot of treasure. The pope said all treasure on earth belongs to god. As im gods representaive on earth it belongs to me. So he orderd all the kings of Europe to send armies to go and get it for him. It had nothing to do with the holy land it was all about greed. The holy land didnt even exist then. That was created later by rewritting the bible.
The knights templar built Jerusalem as a fort. there was no Jersulem prior to the crusades as it never existed. Ancient maps of Palastine done by the greeks in the time of Jesus had no settlements at jerusalem, Nazarth or Bethlheme as they didnt exist then. They r bible constructs put in during the crusades.
The christian bible was created by emporor constantine. His empire was falling apart cause of all the diff religois groups fighting each other. So he got his scholars to find out about all the diff religous groups and then create a new religoin with bits from each of the other religions to unite his ppl.
He himself was pagen and didnt believe in any religion. He never converted to Christianty but was babtised after he was burried against his wishes to claim he was christian.
His wife confirmed he never converted to Christianty and after he was burried Christians dug up his body babtised him then burried him again.
So if catholics want u to be catholioc they will get u after u die no matter what ur beliefs r. Its be catholic or burn in hell.
Great job GOD BLESS YOU!

My Wife was born & raised Catholic while I am a lifelong Presbyterian. We have no problems as we have the same common core beliefs. She was free to marry me as her husband had passed and I was also a widower (twice). While we lived in the states, we went to Mass at the Catholic Church and we attended Services at the Presbyterian Church. The Catholic Church will not allow me to receive communion but the Presbyterian Church accepts all so she can & did receive communion along with me. Some years ago we moved to the Philippines (she is Filipina, I am American) which is predominately Roman Catholic and there are no Presbyterian Churches on the island where we live so I attend Mass with her. The Mass here is the same as the Mass in the US although English and Illongo Language are intermixed. There has never been any questions regarding children as she had a hysterectomy in 1984 while married and I had a vasectomy in 1978 (she is now 71 and I am 80). The local Parish of the Catholic Church here will see that I receive a proper burial when it is my time.
You must understand now why you are not allowed to receive communion in a Catholic church.
@@rothschildianum I do not question the reasoning.
You imply at the end that Protestants don’t care about good works. As a Wyoming Episcopalian, I disagrree! We are duty-bound to do Good Works as followers of Christ.🙋🏼♀️🏔💞🌠
I've worked with some Southern Baptists and Pentecostals who would disagree.
Kevin Burke I know. Christians are rarely in agreement.🤦🏼♀️
Mormons are big on works.
That is true Protestants don't believe in Good work.Martin Luther said that seeking God's grace comes before doing good works.But the Bible says in James that" a man with all faith but no works is a dead man"... Apostle Paul strictly apposed such Churches that preached the same things.....That's why u see Prostitution, gamble, porn, LGBT marriage is legal in Protestant dominated countries...!!!
Patel Rohan Sorry, mate, you blame the ills of the world on Protestants primarily. Check out the secular world, all religions, too. Great highs and lows manifest in each. Human nature can be peevish and paradoxical, and your writing reflects that oddity. Anyway, have a great summer!🙋🏼♀️
Excellent..thank you so very much. I love this and am going to spread it. God bless you
matt is not doing an honest comparison-there are many rituals and beleifs brought into the catholic church that are totally PAGAN in origin
Please don't. This video is not only brief, it's far from correct. The heart of Protestant and Roman Catholicism belief (doctrine) is totally different. Ignore the so called 95% similarity. That's too wrong!
Probably the defining difference which was touched on is expressed in St. John: "I am the way, the truth and the light. No one gets to the father but through me." This has both an abstract and non-abstract reading, the latter meaning that to communicate with God one must go through Jesus who is the sole intermediary between a believer and God. This shuts down the concept of needing a priest or pastor to dial-up God for you -- just call on Jesus in prayer to do it and he will.
Fantastic video. Thank you
I have friends both in the Catholic and also in the Protestant church. I am Protestant but very disappointed in their behavior and in claiming to be saved when they do NOT bear the fruits that God wants us to bear. I agree with Dominic who states that faith without works is DEAD. Even those who seem to be so spiritual and loving seem to have no heart for the poor nor for those who need help. Religion is not important but relationship with the Lord is most important, by that I mean knowing His word and doing what His spirit leads us to do. For example in the last judgment in the book of Matthew the people will be divided into two groups, the goats and the sheep. I have found that most Protestants believe they are saved by faith alone and do NOT need to care for the poor and needy. They will be in for a great shock when the Lord comes and tells them to depart and go into hell instead of heaven which they proclaim to go to naturally. I found no one to help me, no one to care when I was in need, actually secular friends showed more compassion than those who call themselves Christians.
I agree with you I am Ex-muslim converted to Christianity baptized in Coptic Orthodox church I shocked with Christians' morals just stole the name of Christ. They hurted, exploited and harmed me like Muslims while I was hiding when I fled my country. Then I found myself in Catholicism after experience. I know that of course Catholics are not perfect 100% but at least they are the best in their ethics, heart, faith and mind. Most of the time, the Orthodox Christians are so fanatical, heartless and narrow minded and Protestants are worse than them😟😦 the fruits of the faith is so important. God is about love not about religion.
well if u are a holy man(without any weaknesses nor sin), u don't really need to go to any church, do u?
You will eventually find fault in any body of believers. They are still human, after all.
So sad to here that brother.
@@sawsanelshafey3634 Must remember in the understanding of Protestant Christianity that one must be regenerated or die to their old self, born again by Christ which I feel you most likely were. You had an experience that changed you. I know Islam is not easy to break. The trouble is there are many who CALL themselves Christian because they believe in God and at least in word alone trust Jesus for their redemption in the end. But have never had the EXPERIENCE with Him. The one when He changes your heart. Here's the second problem. The ones who HAVE HAD IT often get lazy in our own little world and stop worrying about our neighbor. Western culture is the personification of this. We went from 50 years ago knowing everyone on the street, maybe even the community and coming together to help one another to a "mind your own business" attitude because our morality has slipped and we don't want to have our sins found out so we isolate ourselves. Thirdly, many probably sadly see you and are struck with fear. Fearing that you are maybe just pretending so that you can gain information to take back to an Imam who is looking to maybe attack. It's sad that folks are like that but Islam has been really, really good at terrorizing and once that hits you you become paralyzed with fear in a lot of ways. I praise Jesus for setting you free and making you a brother/sister (sorry, can't tell from your name. :)). I just ask for patience with us and know that God will provide.
There are many more differences than what is in this video. I have a list of at least 40 different doctrinal differences between Catholics and protestants.
If you want all the differences outline then this will no longer fit in a 4 minute video presentation.As 500 years is not enough to settle the differences.
Pastor Rick Warren love the phrase of St.Augustine "in similarities unity and in differences charity." Then we can live as one brother peacefully that was the Ecumenism was all about and it extends to other non-Christian faith as well as Abba Father wants Jesus to unite all His creature as One not by perfection of faith but perfection of LOVE., as the greatest of all this is LOVE.but remember its not Whitney Houston but Jesus Christ..just want to make you smile..kidding aside.We are all ONE in Christ Jesus because of the Merciful Love of God..John17:20-22
@Visto che
your Christian faith is definitely way different from Muslim but what is the common ground? Christian and Muslims have One Creator so only One Father.
And what is the desire of God the Father that Jesus thru His Founded Church must accomplish? Read John17:20-22
Would a two hour video be better?
