I’m delivered at 62 ‘ I repent and I did not have the power until now !’ Jesus is sufficient! Great joy I was in bondage !’ But now I’m set free !’ By the cross of my king !’
I finally at age 58 put down my religious pride to read the bible and follow the truth wherever its leads. I read the bible to know more about Jesus never thought about leaving the catholic church EVER! but here i am left the catholic church because it does not lined up with the bible. Found these videos and so surprised to see people left for the same reason !!!
@@stever4181 who could have known Peter & Judas more than Jesus while choosing them to be His Apostles? A saying, 'To err is himan, to forgive divine'. In their weakness, while Peter repented to become a saint, Judas repented only to the point of feeling remorse & self destruction. The Church Jesus established has both saints and sinners. The sanctity of His Church is based on saints and not sinners It is justified to believe in the same Jesus who gave the keys to Peter to manage the affairs of His Kingdom until He returns. Everyone has different opinions and God respects our free will. "And to these people you shall say, 'Thus says the Lord: See, I am setting before you the way to life and the way to death.. " Jer 21:8
@@kiwi-xl1vl You like so many Catholic do not understand the meaning of church in over 115 times it is mentioned. Would you like me to explain it to you? I suggest you look at what the Bible has to say about who saints are. They are believers in Jesus as Son of God and the Messiah. It is man that has said they are something else. So Peter was a saint when he believed in Jesus not later. That is a false teaching by the RCC. Paul refers to the recipients of his letters as saints. The way to life or salvation is through Jesus, not any religion. "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father (salvation) except through me." (John 14:6) So salvation is in Jesus, not a religion. Ephesians 2:8-9 also shows this "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast."
@@stever4181 Question = Which is the True Church ? Of all the religions, our - Living - God has favoured Roman Catholic Christianity, more than all others, with His presence and manifestations in the past 2,000 years. Catholics have been favoured with Eucharistic Miracles- like the 1996 Eucharistic Miracle of Buenos Aires, Argentina & in Lanciano, Italy in the 8th C - among many other miracles (( Note - Satanists will steal a consecrated " Catholic " Holy Communion host for use in their diabolical " Black Masses'' They will keep away from the communion hosts of near-Catholic Protestant denominations like the Anglicans, Methodists and the Lutherans precisely because these don't have the Presence of Jesus. ))
In Acts 2:27 - we read - For God will not allow His Holy one to undergo corruption. Likewise, God has clothed with incorruptibility the corpses of Catholic saints who have led a holy life in conformity with Jesus. The 500 year incorrupt corpse of St. Francis Xavier, which resides in Goa, India.is one example. The incorrupt corpse of the Lebanese St. Charbel Makhlouf is another example. Fr. Albert Hebert has compiled a list of over 400 resurrections of people who died but were raised to life by many Catholic saints. His book - Raised from the Dead - is available in book-stores. Jesus, our Living God, has appeared to many saints. In the 14th C, Jesus appeared to St. Bridget of Sweden who was much desirous of knowing about his agony He endured on the Way to Calvary - in other words, His Passion & Death. For a whole year Jesus taught her 15 Prayers and attached Promises to anyone who repeats these Prayers continuously for a year - the 1st Promise being - Jesus will deliver 15 souls of his/her lineage from Purgatory. ( Note - you can check the Internet under - The 15 Prayers of St. Bridget - and also view the Promises. ) And in the 1930's, not yet a hundred years ago, Jesus appeared almost daily to a Polish Nun, Sr. Faustina, and taught her the following prayer - Eternal Father, I offer you the Body & Blood, Soul & Divinity of your dearly Beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. In atonement for our sins and those of the whole world. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and the whole world. - This is in line with The Lord's Prayer which is pluralistic with the words - Our, Us, We, etc. (( Note = Sr Faustina kept a Diary of Jesus visits which is available from book-stores with its Title - Divine Mercy in My Soul I urge you to purchase a copy and read it. )) In 1995, Jesus appeared to a Nigerian named Barnabas and gave him the Devotion to His Precious Blood. Mary has appeared in many places like Lourdes, France and Fatima, Portugal, and Guadalupe, Mexico City, Mexico - among many other places and at different times. Moreover, She has appeared for 3 years nightly over a Coptic Church in Zeitoun, Egypt and pictures of her are available on the Internet. Lastly, before the Catholic Church declares a person - Saint - 2 first class miracles must be attributed to that deceased person - miracles which are mostly authenticated by non-Catholic doctors and professionals. On the other hand, the agents of Satan, Communists and Masons - aka Free-Masons - have long sought to infiltrate the Catholic Church clergy and thus undermine its teachings In the 1960's, ex-Communist executive of the Communist Party of USA, Bella Dodd testified before the US Congress that the Communists had sent over a 1,000 men into Catholic seminaries (( Note - this can be checked on the Internet. )) Undoubtedly, the Catholic Church has been favoured by our Living God and at the same time has been the target of God's enemies - because she represents the Truth regarding her Doctrine. Secondly, The Bible is, historically, a dated book as it records only to the 1st Century. Thus we read only the deaths of Judas and James but not about the other 10 Apostles or of Paul as to when, where and how they died. Does it mean that, because their deaths are not recorded, that they are still alive ?? Obviously not. Paul declares the Bible - useful and profitable - in 2 Timothy 3:16, but that the Church is the Bulwark and Pillar of Truth - 1 Timothy 3:15. That is because the Church, the community of Believers, came first - Matthew 16:18 - and incorporates both the written word as well as the oral tradition - 2 Thessalonians 2:15. And the Bible declares that Jesus performed a = World of Works = which are unrecorded - John 21:25. As a result 2 traditions ensued - oral and written - 2 Thess. 2:15 - which are of equal merit. By "Sola Scriptura" Protestants are only receiving part of Divine Truth thus resulting in so many denominations. The Catholic Church was founded on Peter's declaration of Jesus' Divinity - Matt. 16:16 and Jesus' promise - Matt 16:17-19- and holds to both traditions. It is the Church of the Living God and the Pillar and Bulwark of Truth - 1 Timothy 3:15
I was raised catholic, and went to the catholic church my entire childhood into adulthood (against my will mostly😉). My entire family remains catholic. I was never saved, until later in life when I became SO lost, and finally begged God to show me the TRUTH about who He was and how to serve Him. He led me to read His Word, and He gave me discernment through His holy spirit to discern His word, and I came under fear of the Lord, as I finally came to understand that I was NOT a good person, and that I needed a savior desperately, and finally understood what Jesus did for me on the cross, and who He was. I turned from my sins, and put my faith in Jesus alone, and I was born again. He also opened my eyes instantly to see that the practices of the catholic church were not biblical. I never went back to that church, and now go to a spirit filled church that follows true biblical doctrine. The one thing that always makes me have a little difficulty when confronting the question of whether my family, who remain catholic are saved, is that the Lord said, we will know them by their fruits. My mother and grandmother are the most kind, loving, gentle, faithful, long-suffering, honest people I know of. So giving also. And they genuinely seemed to love the Lord, even though they are deceived about the truth. It's so hard for me to imagine my sweet, always praying grandmother, or mother could be in hell right now. The catholic church deceives its followers greatly, but many are genuinely trying to do what they think is the right thing. Yet, I know....that if they read the Word, they should depart from those unbiblical practices. The allegiance seems to be to the church and the saints and Mary, and not the Lord. I've tried repeatedly to reach through to my mother, but she is absolutely convinced she must never leave the catholic practices. I also want to add that you are exactly right. It wasn't until, through the Word, that I understood I was a sinner against God and was headed to the torments of hell, thst I finally understood WHY Jesus died on that cross, and that it was the most precious gift we could recieve! That led to fear of the Lord, fear of being separated and judged, and I came to GENUINE repentance, and genuinely understood for the first time who Christ was. It changed everything. I became transformed by His Word, saved by His grace and His spirit. I was blind, but now I can see. I can hear the voice of my Shepard, and He alone is GOOD.
Thank you for sharing this with us, Heather. I rejoice in the knowledge that the LORD led you on the right path. Praise be to our God! As to your mother and grandmother, it is a difficult situation. They, most probably, were brought up from early childhood with the notion that the Catholic church is the only way....and it became a life-long habit. It is good that you have tried to share the Gospel with your mother. Now, all you can do, is to leave it in God's hands. Pray for her. Fasting (if you can) is also highly recommended (see Exodus 34:27-28; Luke 2:36-38; 2 Samuel 12:15-23). Pray that her eyes may be open one day, that she will see the Truth. Remember, we are not saved by good works. Even the nicest, kindest, most loving person can end up badly because they refuse to follow Christ. Our God gave us a set of rules to follow in this life. These are lasting commandments for God does not change His mind about His law. The first one goes like this: "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind." Matthew 22:37 We are here to love God first and foremost. Above any human. Loving thy neighbour must always come second. So even the nicest person who loves every human- but does not love God the way that He is supposed to be loved (John 14:15; Matthew 19:17; Leviticus 22:31 and elsewhere)- is breaking the very first Commandment. It is truly heart-breaking but people who are stiff-necked are deciding their own fate (2 Kings 17:13-14).
Heather, thank you for sharing your testimony and praise the Father for His grace and mercy! Jesus wrote to the church of Thyatira in Revelation 2:18 to 29. This letter describes the church of the middle ages, the rise of the Roman Catholic church. He said in verse 19 that "I know thy works, and charity (love), and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works..." Jesus knows the love in the hearts of his people that are in this "church". In verse 24, He continues, "unto the rest of Thyatira, as many as HAVE NOT THIS DOCTRINE... And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations". The doctrine He spoke about were those who 'loved the church' more than Him. If the love of God shines into this world from your family members and not the love of the church, then God has sealed them.
Thank you for sharing. Listening, hungry for the Word of God. You are a very humble man when you speak. It's like you get out of the way, and the Holy Spirit shares. Thank you.

@@johnyang1420 really? According to Catholicism how do I get saved? Please explain to me, then after your done I’ll tell you how Jesus says how we get saved.
@@johnyang1420 How come the catholic priests are homo pedophiles? If your priests are wicked the followers are wicked. Plus all the nuns are lesbians. The whole thing is wicked. Good luck with that.
Jesus said to make it into the kingdom of God, one must be born of water & of the Spirit. You must be born again to see the kingdom of God. This is the gospel in which you must be saved as u love the Lord w/ all your heart, soul, mind & strength. And to love your neighbor as thyself. Amen
And thru baptism we are born of water, thru believing in Jesus we are born again of the spirit. All catholics do this. Don't know about non-catholic christians, tho.
I was baptized by full emersion. A few years later the preacher said that I was going to burn in HELL! The Catholic Priest only asked if I had been baptized, and I replied "yes". He then said "Bless you my son" I replied "Why am I supposed to call you Father, you're not Jesus"" Well he didn't punch me in the nose and I've been Catholic now for almost 50 years.@@ChristopherHudetz
@@ChristopherHudetz Being born of water is natural birth, if you keep reading Jesus say what is FLESH IS FLESH and what is Spirit is Spirit, You are born from your mothers womb ( water) and then your Spirit, born again. Water cannot make your spirit clean, only the Words of God can
Born again is being born from above, baptism. It's what they believed for the first 1550 years. The born again evangelicals refer to is the version from Calvery chapel in the 1960s.
According to the fundamental principle of Protestantism, regardless of what Jesus demands, we in fact do not need to live holy lives in sanctity, we only need to have faith. Maybe this is the point of your comment.
Rev.17.4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. Rev.17.6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.
@@kiwi-xl1vlThat woman is the harlot of the One World Religion, it will be the biggest religion ever. She has many names: Isis, Ishtar, Ashtaroth, Semiramus, and Roman Mary.
Mark 12:38-40 Then He [Jesus] said to them in His teaching, "Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts, who devour widow's houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation " Mark 7:9. He [Jesus] said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition" 1 Timothy 2:5-6 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. It is clear that Mary is not a co-redemptrix and no priest has authority to mediate and/or forgive sins between God and man. All who choose Christ as Savior have personal RELATIONSHIP with Christ, in lieu of "religion" and therefore have personal access to Jesus 24/7/365 anywhere and all the time. I am comforted by this, as I am often conversing with Jesus, through prayer, much of each day and night, especially lately. You can do this also. Pray directly to our Lord and Savior. God bless you all.

OK but God = Father+ Son + Holy Spirit. Take anything out of this equation and you don't have God. Of course if you don't accept this equation, then you're not a Christian. Likewise An Atom consists of electron + proton + neutron. So one does not have to believe in any of this stuff and I don't care. A Christian believes Yeshua ben Joseph A.K.A. Jesus of Nazareth was the Son in this equation.

I love this man and his teaching as he gives scripture with it. As an ex Roman Catholic I Thank the Lord Jesus Christ that He got me out of the Roman Catholic church and this person confirms it.
that's so sad to hear, What is the foundation of bulwark of truth? Did you think it was the BIBLE alone? The answer is found in your Bible, 1 Timothy 3:15. Ask your pastor why did Jesus say to eat his flesh and drink his blood in John Chapter 6 3x and those unbelievers left him. Are you and your pastor also an unbeliever? Your pastor will tell you Jesus was talking metaphorically, but you know what? In the whole gospel of John, John did not mention nor talk about any parable. In the last supper did Jesus say This is MY BODY or did he say pretend that this is my body? Did he say this is symbollically my body? Only the Catholic Church can give you his Body. In Matthew 16:18-19 Jesus established a Church, 1 church. Not churches. Do you know which Church DARES to claim it has been founded by Jesus? Have you tried to google, who founded the Catholic Church and then you can google, who founded YOUR pastors church or who founded the anglican church or who founded the churches down your street. Funnily all of those PROTESTANT churches are founded by mere MAN. Guess which Church was founded by Jesus Christ. In the same 2 verses, Jesus said the Gates of hell will not prevail against the Church, That would mean that Church is still around, or Jesus is LYING. Which is? You have been cheated by the false prophets and preachers who preach to you things they do not understand and lead you and themselves to their death. 2 Peter 3:16. Have you asked where did your bible come from? Why were there more than 300 books and letters but only 73 was chosen? Did you know the very first KJV had 80 books? It was called the KJV 1611. don't need to trust me, just google it and ask around. Guess WHO and which Church had the AUTHORITY that canonized the Bible? meaning, to give u the bible u have today? Guess which Church did that.
Amen! Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
@Nirmal Jose Someone must be born of the Spirit to have the Holy Spirit in them first. That's how I left the Roman Catholic Church. I got born again of the Spirit of God.
It amazes me how he could spend 1 hour talking badly about the Catholic Church instead of using this precious time everybody gathered to study the Bible (the most important thing in their lives). These "pastors" ' mission is simply to pull as many people out of the Catholic Church as possible because they have no root, they have to take the fruits elsewhere, they cannot bear new fruits on their own. They need the hatred for the Catholic Church to survive and to have a reason to keep dividing into hundreds more denominations while the Catholic Church keeps her one and only form forever because no gate of hell can shake it just as Jesus said so. I never once in my life attending masses and hear any priest talking bad about our Christian brothers and sisters. I am always taught that we all have a same Father on heaven and we should love, respect and pray for each other. So by just a look at it, there's a huge difference for you to judge. Peace be with you!
The problem comes with all of the added stuff the CC puts as Holy and is not. That is the complaint of Christians. It is pointed at the CC not the Catholic who are being deceived by the CC.
It doesn't matter, because a big majority of them come back. Once they realize they're continually stuck on first base hearing all the same messages, they'll start researching church history and the early church writings and everything they thought they had learned just completely falls apart. Drendon ignores that portion and doesn't want you pay attention to it. Go online and just look up Grendron debates of Catholic. It's almost embarrassing.
@@aggienodari453 Iwould agree that if you look at early catholic church history and early catholic church writings you will become or stay catholic. All one needs do is look at how mant Catholics there are in the worlk to see it is a broad road traveled. Yet when you leave that man-made institution and start reading and understanding Gods written word you *WILL* see the deceatefull ness of the CC and leave it. I speak from experience. You: "It doesn't matter, because a big majority of them come back. " Me: Yours is an opinion bassed on what you want to believe not on true facts of God's word to man. You: "Once they realize they're continually stuck on first base hearing all the same messages" Me: When someone writes things like this it tells me they have never set foot in a Christian Church or if they have they did not listen or study what was said. It also shows ignorance.

He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God. ● HEB 10:26: If we continue to sin deliberatly, after having recieved knowledge of the truth, there is no longer a sacrifice for our sins. ● 2 Peter 2:20-22: ● 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, THE LATTER STATE IS WORSE FOR THEM THAN THE FIRST. ● 21 For IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR THEM NOT TO HAVE KNOWN THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, THAN AFTER THEY HAVE KNOW IT, TO TURN FROM THE HOLY COMMANDMENTS DELIVERED UNTO THEM. ● 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. ● Matthew 24:13 But THE ONE WHO ENDURES TO THE END will be saved. ● Here I'm going to add ● MATT 7:2 as well, because the surest way for you to earn hell for yourself is to condemn others to go there.

First of all there is no Protestant Bible per day The King James Version is also referred to as the Authorized version,( textus receptus ) the received text-taken from the Antioch manuscripts, where Paul started the church after fleeing Jerusalem- not the Alexandrian ones where the Catholic Bible comes from and all those you quoted from come from .

@@peterantonacci HISTORY OF PROTESTANTISM AND IT'S FOUNDATIONAL DOCTRINES OF "SCRIPTURE ALONE" AND "FAITH ALONE":
Protestantism & it's doctrines of "scripture alone" and "faith alone" is a false faith which was started in 1517 by Martin Luther ...not Jesus. ORIGINAL Christians, (catholics) WORSHIP GOD and HONOUR MARY as the mother of our Lord, and the false faith of protestantism exists only to oppose and attack the Catholic church, 👉👉 Jesus established his church 2000 years ago, 15 centuries before Luther started the protestant "reformation" ever took place. The church that Jesus established was the authority for the first 15 centuries until Luther "nullified" the authority of the church and invented his false doctrine of "scripture alone" and his secondary doctrine of "faith alone" which ignores and rejects all scriptures that demand good works from us. WHAT MAKES A PERSON A PROTESTANT? iF: 1. You use Luther's altered bible with missing books (the protestant bible) 2. You follow Luther's invented doctrine of "scripture alone" 3. You follow Luther's invented doctrine of :faith alone" (which ignores all scriptures that demand good works from us) 4. You join in Luther's rebellion by attacking the Catholic church... The you are following Martin Luther and are a PROTEST-ant. Jesus did not establish the protest church nor did he give authority to it. BIBLICAL AND HISTORICAL PROOF THAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH GOES BACK TO JESUS: (ALL copied from the protestant version of the Bible by Cynthia X) ➨ JESUS gives authority of the Church TO PETER the first Pope. (NOT TO CONSTANTINE, Not to Luther, not Calvin, not Ellen White or any other "reformer" ) ✦ MATT 16:13-19: Jesus gives keys of the Kingdom to PETER and builds his church upon PETER. ✦ ACTS 15:7-12: "After much debate had taken place, PETER got up and said to them, “My brothers, you are well aware that from early days God made his choice among you THAT THROUGH MY MOUTH THE GENTILES WOULD HEAR THE WORD OF THE GOSPEL AND BELIEVE." ✦ JOHN 21:15-19: Jesus tells PETER to "Feed my sheep" ✦ HEBREWS 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. ✦ JOHN 13:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. HISTORICAL EVIDENCE: ➨ The body of PETER now lies under the altar of St Peter's basilica.

There is so much paganism and false teachings in the Roman church ( and many other churches) that the generational propaganda is hard to break. BUT....God called the Christian murderer Saul so all things are possible.
If you don't trust the Catholic Church on what it believes and teaches, why would you trust the Catholic Church to provide you with the Bible that She compiled and finalized by the Magisterium at the Council of Carthage under the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the year 382 A.D., the one book you're basing your entire religion off of? And then, to have the gall to remove 7 of its books to justify your personal belief. Jesus established His One True Church with the Authority to TEACH His TRUTH, to INTERPRET Holy Scripture, and to distribute His Grace by way of the Sacraments, (also under the guidance of the Holy Spirit). He promised that His Church would exist until the end of the world. (Mat. 16:18) Mike Gendron and his followers are calling Jesus a liar by not accepting that fact; thus, he mocks everything that the Universal Church is and does. To mock the Church is to mock Christ. He continues to ignore theological explanations of what and why the Catholic Church has taught, believed, and practiced for the past 2,000 years; so, there is no excuse for his heresies. Pray for Mike Gendron and his misled followers for their conversion back to the True Church.

This message from me for my Catholic brothers and sisters: If you would like to identify yourself as a Catholic - fine; but do not follow any of their teachings and practices. Read the Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to help you.
Lets see? Teachings and practices: Go to Church on Sunday, pray to God, partake communion, love your neighbor, get Baptized, etc. Same things I did when I was a Protestant except now I don't hate Catholics.
Unless your brother or sister is an identical twin, you are not the same person. Well neither is your Spirit and your Soul. Catholic's follow the teaching of Jesus. SUPRISE! just like Protestants. I found that out the hard way when I left the protestant church and became atheist. "The Holy Spirit" did help me. God's Spirit put me into the Catholic Church and now my Soul is at peace. Yes indeed I am your brother, I just look a little different. Peace be with you.

@@crusader333ad So you base your understanding on what was NOT written. Then Jesus was married and had children. We do not have truth on what is not written but what is written. I asked a simple question, "Where is it written that Jesus started the CC"? You did not answer because it is not there. That means that someone outside of Jesus's circle made it up. You then say "History tells us," History tells us lots of falsehoods. Are you so gullible that you believe all of this? But then the "secular world" knows this. Now you are showing a complete lack of understanding of God's word and does not surprise me that you are Catholic. If you understood Matthew 16:18 you would know that the church Jesus started is not part of the *"secular world"*. This brings me to your question, "Where is it written that He didn’t?" Matthew 16:18 is where. The word used for 'church' here and throughout the NT is 'ekklesia' It refers to Christ's believers as his church. It never refers to any religion and that included the CC. This means that your religion the CC is lying to you when it says Jesus started the CC in Matt. 16:18. Your faith is relyant upon the CC and that same CC is lying to you. You told me to"learn some history". Now I say to you, Learn some Greek and Hebrew so you can understand scriptures instead of following lies and made-up falsehoods of your CC. The choice is yours.
There is not 100 people who hate the Catholic Church, but millions that hate what they wrongly perceive to be the Catholic Church. -Bishop Fulton Sheen
@taylorrowe2002 I've read the Bible through several times and that includes the book of James. If you believe that grace and salvation comes through Jesus Christ, why do you all focus so much on his mother? In fact, I hear more about Mary from the Catholics than I ever do about Jesus. Y'all have him tacked up on that cross as if he never came down and was resurrected. I could go on but what is the point? You are "pissed off" by complete ignorance and lies of the protestant? Well, they learned well from their mother!
@taylorrowe2002 First of all, pal, all of this dialogue is not necessary. It does not erase the dogma in the Catholic Church surrounding Mary, nor does it erase the prayers to Mary through the use of the rosary. Secondly, Jesus did establish ONE church that is APOSTOLIC, not Apostate. Matthew 16:18 is the Catholic "go to" passage to try to assert dominance but there is NOTHING in there that anointed Peter as Pope. The Church was first established in Jerusalem with Jesus as the JEWISH Rabbi and his 12 disciples which were also JEWISH. Thirdly, you are not the authority on who is led by the Holy Spirit when reading the Scriptures. I ignore a lot of Catholic babbling for the simple reason that this is what it is, babble. As for your mass: you all put Christ to public shame over and over again...and Jesus is NOT your priests' call boy! He does not answer to them, they are to answer to HIM. In ALL the Scripture, the Catholic Church is not mentioned except in a couple verses in Revelation where you are described with infallible accuracy: Revelation 17:4-5 .. Have a nice day though.
@taylorrowe2002 No. No I am not because I have researched into your church doctrines and dogmas. I may need to repent of some things, but that is not among them. I will not "turn back" to an apostate church that I was never involved with in the first place nor ever will be involved with.
@taylorrowe2002 I see you are a proficient liar. That's okay, I am going to lay this out for you according to the Scriptures . There is no other name by which man is saved but that of Jesus (Acts 4:12) . He alone is our "mediator" between God and man (1 Tim. 2:5). The rosary is "loosely" (and I use that word strongly) based on the gospel according to Luke. I do not need to debunk your false miracles.....they stand alone. John 6:54. #transubstantiation= the priests are using Jesus as a "call boy". Remember, at the time of the last supper, Jesus had not yet shed his blood. You need to read further to keep things in their context.....[John 6:63 ] "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." Just like Nicodemus, you fail to understand things that are spiritual and lean on your flesh for understanding. I have not left Christ because I do not agree with your literal translation of what occurred at the last supper. I take communion. I not even going into all the lying signs and wonders that surround the Catholic Church...its a waste of time. In regard to Mary, you prove yourselves liars on a continual basis through your actions...(those speak louder than words). See, you condemn yourselves with your own words... earlier you said, "we ask Mary to intercede for us TO BRING US CLOSER TO HER SON." Prayer is a form of worship... And you admitted using the rosary which is a prayer to her. Also, I never said that Mary was "higher" than any other human beings"...YOU DID. Jesus gave Mary to John to look after her....not to tell the world that she is our mother. As a woman, I can look to Mary as an example of how to carry myself as a "woman of God", but in Luke 1:46, we hear her say: "Then Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord, 47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!" If Mary was without original sin, she has no need to proclaim need of a savior. And to say that she remained a virgin is to completely ignore human biology and anatomy. Joseph and Mary had children AFTER the birth of Christ, and this is proven in the Scriptures....but Catholics ignore this because it disrupts your dogmas surrounding her. Dogmas that are completely unfounded in the Scriptures. You can call me whatever you please....doesn't matter. I've read the true bloody history of the Catholic Church. Many reformers were outright murdered by the Catholic Church....you all had a bounty on Luther as well. You said: "...all early Christian’s believed exactly what the Catholic Church teaches today." That is yet another profound lie. Many of your doctrines and dogmas have come about loooooooooooooooooong after the early church. They did not fiddle with Rosary beads, they did not pray to Mary, they did not believe in purgatory.... I could go on. Your remarks are trademark of one brainwashed into Catholicism. For your information, those reformers are no more right than any of you at this point. I do not need to go through them or the papacy to have a relationship with my Savior, Jesus Christ. I do not need to sit in your pew and play "church".
@@savedbygrace8337 I did and I really appreciate his love for our Lord and his heart for dialogue. I can’t say that he has convinced me. I’d have to say that all of his objections have solid Catholic answers. I will continue to listen to his videos though as they continue to pop up in my feed because I am always open to hearing someone out on what they believe. :) One warning I’d have is that he likes to tell anecdotes about interactions he has had with Catholic priests. It’s almost like an inverse appeal to authority argument where he discusses how he has stumped them on questions about the Bible. They are interesting stories, but just because one priest didn’t have an answer to his particular question doesn’t mean that there isn’t an answer. I see videos where Catholics stump Protestants. I have seen videos where Trinitarian Protestants use analogies of the Trinity that are heretical. This doesn’t disprove their theology, it just means that they don’t have a strong grasp on a particular subject. The Catholic Church has been around a long time, it has answers to these questions if you look. Please keep me and my family in your prayers and I will pray for you all as well.
@@JoshN91 Catholicism is false teaching.the immaculate conception,not biblical. The assumption of Mary ,nowhere in the Bible. Praying the rosaryMatthew 6:7 “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.” Praying to StatuesIsaiah 2:8 “Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:” Telling your sins to a priest and thinking he can forgive them, Mark 2:7 “Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?” I was a catholic for the first 27 years of my life THANK GOD HE RESCUED ME!
@@savedbygrace8337 I was a Sola Scriptura Protestant for the first 27 years of my life (we traded places haha) that went to Christian school from k-3 to 12th grade. I have found a deeper love and devotion to our Lord in the Catholic Church than I have ever experienced before. There are solid answers to all of those verses. I am not going to hash out the same debates happening in the comment sections all over FB. I would just welcome anyone who is curious to look into what the Catholic Church says about these verses. Not what someone who is against Catholicism says Catholics believe about these verses. I understand where you are coming from because I struggled through these in my conversion. I actually didn’t want to become Catholic. I was fairly anti-Catholic. It was the Holy Spirit that guided me into the church. I have never felt more peace with God than I do in Catholicism. It has the love of Mother Teresa and intellectual curiosity of Thomas Aquinas. The devotions are beautiful and a wonderful way to grow more in love with Christ daily.
@@savedbygrace8337 My wife and I are actually looking to design a shirt with that verse on it. :) I fell into a deeper love of our Lord. There are great devotions that are dripping with scripture that are a help to heed Paul’s command to pray without ceasing.
Jesus never founded a state run religion. The true Church Jesus founded was the Holy Spirit He left with us. Jesus never called Himself catholic much less Roman catholic. Mary never prayed the rosary because she would tell you herself that that's a pagan practice.
Mike grifts. With a plate loaded with ignorance and denials, he moves stuffing his pockets at the same time, filling weak and gulible people with and "teaching" Fratelli tutti Para 15
Mike tacitly believes Christ was undependable and that he lied. ALL truth meant ... some truth, inconsistent truth and the Church didn't even know it errored, and errored repeatedly for 1500 years. Christ is the head of his Church (Col 1: 18) Christ''s Church is the pillar of truth (1 Tim 3: 15) Christ's Church is the bulwark of truth. (1 Tim 3: 15) Christ's Church is where the manifold wisdom of God is made known. (Eph 3: 10) *Christ PROMISED to lead it to ALL Truth.* (Jn 16: 13) Christ PROMISED that he would NEVER leave it.

. Nothing in the bible is contrary to Catholicism .. even if you do not get round to reading the 1000 page Catholic Catechism with over 2000 quotations that show the oneness of Bible and Catholic Church .... Smart and Holy protestants come to Catholicism 3 Church of England Bishops in just the last two years have converted to Catholicism to get closer to God -- giving up money status and power ... mainly cos of the Eucharist --------------------------14 Scripture verses that show Catholic Eucharist is the truth ................. Mark 14:22-24 While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.” And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. Luke 13:26 Verse Concepts Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’; Luke 22:19-20 And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. John 6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst. John 6:51 Verse Concepts I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” John 6:53-57 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. John 13:1-4 Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, Acts 2:42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:46-47 Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. Acts 20:7 Verse Concepts On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight. 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread. 1 Corinthians 10:21-22 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we? 1 Corinthians 11:20-34 Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper, for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk. What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.
When the priest raises up the "sun" disc wafer, he is holding the round sun wafer up like a rising sun in honor of Tammuz, the sun god. That is who the pope, cardinals, bishops, archbishops, priests, Jesuits, clergy really worship. The (Cattle)cumen are clueless about this. They desperately need to hear the true gospel of the living God.
@@kiwi-xl1vl His blood group doesn't matter as far as the pagan communion ritual goes. His blood already cleansed us from sin and gave us salvation through the cross. The Passover is only a memorial to what He did for us.
Mike Gendron is misrepresenting Catholicism. Lie #1 Mike says that the Catholic Church teaches a works based salvation. Let’s see if that’s true. Council of Trent Canon 1. If anyone says that man can be justified before God by his own works, whether done by his own natural powers or through the teaching of the law, without divine grace through Jesus Christ, let him be anathema. Council of Trent Canon 7. We are said to be justified by faith because faith is the beginning of human salvation, the foundation and root of all justification, without which it is impossible to please God and to come to the fellowship of His sons; we are said to be justified gratuitously because none of those things that precede justification, whether faith or works, merit the grace of justification. For, if by grace, it is not now by works, otherwise, as the Apostle says, grace is no more grace. Um, this doesn’t sound like a works based salvation, so yeah, Mr. Gendron is straight up lying to people, because he has read this if that’s even true. It sounds like Catholics believe 100% that Christs death on the cross was more than sufficient. Lie #2 Mr. Gendron states that there was two streams of Christianity running side by side from the beginning. 1 true Church, and 1 Apostate Church. Throughout the New Testament, we see 1 Church. What we do see, are the heretical sect called the Gnostics pop up. In the early centuries, there was the true Church, and there were heretical sects that popped up and went away. There wasn’t two streams of Christianity, there were the Church Fathers, who belonged to the Catholic Church, and there were the heretical sects, who were not considered Christian, so what Mr. Gendron is saying is biblically and historically false. If there was such a thing then maybe you can name 3 of the leaders of this true Church after biblical times. Tell me who they were and show me their writings. Lie #3 Catholics do not keep the Mosaic law. This is what Paul is talking about when he speaks of works of the law. The Jews held to the Mosaic law, Christian’s do not. The only denomination that I know of that keeps the law are the SDA’s. Jesus is the one mediator between God and man, but there are thousands of intercessors between Christ and man. Mary is an intercessor between Christ and man, just like we are for each other. Mary’s title of mediatrix arises from her cooperation in the Incarnation and in the Redemption of mankind. Through her “yes” (Lk 1:38), she became the Theotokos (God-bearer), and, as the “New Eve,” she is “the Mother of all living.” Irenaeus (A.D. 120-200) wrote, “As by a virgin the human race had been bound to death, by a virgin it is saved, the balance being preserved, a virgin’s disobedience by a virgin’s obedience” (Against Heresies, 3, 22, 19). Eve made the Fall possible, but Adam effected it; Mary made our Redemption possible (by consenting to bring the Savior into the world), but Jesus effected it. God permitted the Redemption of mankind to depend on the free-will decision of a human being. Whether or not we would have a mediator was dependent on Mary’s “yes.” Had there been no “yes” from Mary, there would have been no mediator. Thus the graces that come through Jesus may be said to come to us, in a secondary way, via Mary-not as the origin of the graces, but as a conduit. The Catholic Church always has taught that Jesus Christ alone redeemed mankind (neither Mary nor any other creature had the power to do so), and ultimately only through him are salvation and grace obtained. So once again, Mr. Gendron, who claims to know all Catholic teaching, is lying, I’m going to stop here and listen to more of this ridiculous video. I’ll start a new comment.
I am Catholic. Love being Catholic. Will never stop being a Catholic - Jesus is my lord and my savior and these people are like Saul thinking they are doing the work of God by their concealed hatred towards Catholics. I pray they will become more like Paul one day.
Sorry, but you have that all wrong. Christians do NOT hate Catholics they strongly disagree with the CC and its lies! I am not Catholic never have been and never will be Catholic. I believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God and I have surrendered my life to Jesus. You would call me a protestant. Show me where I have gone wrong with my belief in Christ.
Hellencw, God bless you. Unfortunately many uneducated Sauls are out there casting judgement & demonizing others and still call themselves Christians. That sure is a shame! A good program I watch is “Journey Home” where countless Protestant educators who have left their denominations and became Catholic & explain their faith journey. Very informative and inspiring!
@@hamidrabiipour9707 I have been to countless masses, I am a Preacher of God's word, I study scriptures not just read them. I would never become Catholic. Catholicism is full of deceitful lies and anyone who reads with understanding the Bible will see these deception of the CC. What you will not recognize is that there are a great many Catholics who have left the CC and become Christian.
Try reading John 7:24 tells us, "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment." We are to judge what people and religions say and the judge we use id God's word not ours.
So you were a Catholic for 35 years Mike? Well I was an atheist for about 6 years Mike. Which Jesus do I worship? I worship Yesua ben Joseph AKA Jesus of Nazareth. A Human Being in all sense. A person that had a loving Mother by the name of Mary and a loving step- Father named Joseph. A person that had great loving parents. A person who at the age of about 30 the Holy Spirit of God entered his body and He became God's Son. A person who was baptized in the river by a cousin named John. A person who climbed a mountain with some friends and was transfigured before them. He became the Son, the Father and the Holy Spirit. You see Mike, you have to believe in Spirits, in order to believe in Jesus as also being God Almighty. Nowadays I partake of His Blood and His Body and his Spirit is right there beside me because He said "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one cometh to the Father except through Me!" Mike please stop persecuting your fellow believers in Jesus. The Protestant preacher told me that I was going to Hell. The Catholic Priest told me that God loves me just as I love God. God is Love. My wife loved me and I loved her. Likewise God loves me and I love God. "Lead me not into temptation and deliver me from evil" Amen.
Your Jesus is not the Jesus of the Bible when you say, " A person who at the age of about 30 the Holy Spirit of God entered his body and He became God's Son." Jesus was around before the formation of the world. Mike does not persecute people only a false religion called the CC.
@@TheGuitarReb You're not a very good judge, are you? Perhaps your God and know my heart, or perhaps not. You're just another one of God's creations like me no better no worse. So stop placing yourself on your man-made pedestal.
You need to read concerning the baptism of Jesus by "John The Baptist" This is when the Holy Spirit entered the physical earthly body of Jesus. Yes indeed He was a special person.
We Catholics have a proverb always proven true in reality about one’s width of reading, depth of study, and height of understanding of the Bible and where this leads to: “Weak Catholics become Evangelicals; Strong Evangelicals become Catholics.” Mike Gendron was obviously a weak Catholic!

We Catholics pray that Mike becomes a strong Evangelical and are happy to welcome you and him home to the original, true and full Christian church, founded by Jesus himself, the Catholic Church.
Why does Trey Telley think he is right? What kinda background does he have? For Mr Telley's information, the bible was written in such a way so that no man, woman or child could claim to be final authority on Jesus or God. Who does Trey Telley think he is?
@@AnneofAvonlea The Catholic Church (as well as the Orthodox churches) and protestantism are both grounded in the "traditons of men". Its the question of which men had authority to rightly establish traditions which is to be resolved: the Apostles, or the self-appointed "reformers". The Apostles have explicit authority from Jesus Christ Himself "to bind and to loose", the "reformers" had no such thing. The reformers and all that followed them on down to Mr. Gendron reject the Apostles and their traditions, for traditions that are more to their liking. One way or another, you bind yourself to traditions. It is unavoidable.
@@andrewrolwes6034 No. No men have the right to establish traditions without putting scripture, the Word of God, as THE authority first. Because ALL men are fallible. The RCC says that scripture and tradition have equal authority but that’s false. So easy to rebut their traditions and arguments with scripture over and over. The RCC has based their beliefs on traditions of fallible men throughout history, especially those you call the “church fathers.” Ironically both your church fathers and “infallible” popes don’t even agree with each other a lot of the time. The early church was apostolic, not Catholic. So no, Catholics don’t own the church or the truth. God has given us His Word, not Catholics. And the early church of Christ and the apostles like Paul warned us about those who would be among the church who would start preaching another Jesus. THOSE are the men who over the years brought in heretical teachings into Christ’s church such as the Eucharist (works-based righteousness), Mary being sinless, and infant baptism among many others. The reformers attempted to bring the church back into line with SCRIPTURE. As is Mike. Nowhere does scripture say Mary was sinless. In fact, the opposite can be proven when she called Jesus her Savior. Or when it said Theresa are none righteous . Not one. And there are many scriptures regarding the once for all blood sacrifice of Jesus atoning for our sins, ALL our sins, as we are made perfect forever through his sacrifice, rather than the weekly atonement Catholics practice. It’s blasphemous, heretical all of the above to say we need the Eucharist because that says Christ wasn’t enough. You rob Him of His glory in our salvation. And priests calling themselves “alter cristus”??? 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ Blasphemy. Pure blasphemy. You really have to ask yourself: are you worshipping the Jesus of the Bible or the RCC?
Which Jesus do Catholic worship and Trust? the same Jesus who founded their Church. The same Jesus who said "You are Peter and on this rock I will buid my Church. That Jesus. The Jesus whom the Catholic Church has preached for two thousand years. The Jesus you only came to know 500 years ago. No wonder you misunderstand him and mistinterpret his teaching. You thing you know him but you clearly do not. Otherwise you would not always condemn the doctrines of the Church he founded.

Glad Mike has not shut down comments on this video also which he has done since the you tube video "Debate: Catholic vs Protestant Salvation vesves Justification Tim Staples vs Mike Gendron " was released start at 8 minutes (to skip the long introduction) and as a Christian it will be an hour well spent ... Tim (ex Baptist) sets out clearly the Catholic position and refutes everything Mike says !! Mike just repeats what he said earlier and what the catholic church has been teaching for 2000 years " we can only be saved by Jesus Christ ....... " {at 38 minutes} as he could not respond to the scripture correction from Tim ) Then we find Mike was unable to stay after the break !!

Dear bro, it's the same thing with seventh day Adventist church, they bring the heavenly sanctuary cleansing just like Catholic's purgatory denying Hebrews 9:11on.
As a Catholic, I would say that my Jesus is Biblical Jesus, He died for ALL, His death atoned for sins of ALL, for the WORLD He died ( Jn 1:29 ), because His Father SO loved the world ( Jn 3:16 ), NOT Jesus that ONLY died for the elects or Jesus who atoned for the sins of the elects, SUCH JESUS IS DEFICIENT OF LOVE AND MERCY, sorry but we worship different Jesus ! May the true God open the heart and eyes of Mike and his followers, God bless.
Bible is a Catholic Book. Study Church History too.Moreover, Bible is only written Word of God.Buble clearly accords that everything Jesus said were not written. Depending only on the written portion of scripture is therefore incomplete..
"The whole New Testament is against Catholicism." The Whole New Testament, which books belong in it, were declared, decided, by the late 4th c Catholic Church: 27 writings, no more, no less, out of 300+ early Christian writings. You use ... our book, tacitly trusting in the authority of the Catholic Church to have decided for you.
Us Catholics worship the Jesus that died on the cross, and the Jesus that commanded us to eat His Body and drink His Blood....but you protestants walked away from His command at john6:66
Do you not realise that Jesus said to believe in him and be saved with no mention of eating him? Why did the 12 disciples not chow down on Jesus in John 6?
@@stever4181 Because He had not yet instructed them on how it was to be accomplished. This would happen later, at the Last Supper: "THIS is my body", "THIS is my blood."
@@andrewrolwes6034 My question still remains, Why did the Disciples not chow down on Jesus at the Last supper? Just what is his Body and blood? Bread and wine. it is symbolic. The real presence of Christ is him living in you where you surrender your life to him. You can not get that from a wafer that lasts seconds in your mouth.
@@stever4181 What then did He mean when He said in John 6 "If you do not eat of my flesh and drink of my blood, you have no life in you", and in Luke 22/Matthew 26 when He said "THIS is my body....THIS is my blood...". What did St. Paul mean when he said in 1 Cor 10 "Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?" The Apostolic Tradition (and this is true for ALL of the churches that were established by the Apostles, see the list in my other response) says that the Apostles taught that the bread and wine becomes the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. It is the Reformed tradition alone that rejects all of this.
@@andrewrolwes6034 You: "What then did He mean when He said..." Me: The downfall of Catholics is scriptures. You pay little attention to it and always take passages out of context as you have done here. This is a long conversation between Jesus and the Jews and disciples, (Not the twelve) I do not like writing essays as people will not read them so I will trust you to go back and read John 6 with a few questions. Jesus feeds the 5000, the disciples leave in a boat and Jesus follows by walking on the water. Why did Jesus do this? What impact did it have on the 12? Who came after Jesus and what did they want? This sets the tone of the conversation. How many times did Jesus say to believe in him? While you're there how many times did Jesus say in the Bible to believe in him? Pay close attention to v 41 where the Jews (Ruling Council) arguing. v42 The Jews try to discredit Jesus Jesus reprimands them in v 43-51 V52 The Jews argue among themselves All of this builds up to v53 where Jesus must have been fed up with them. Jesus does not change what he has said all along it is still about a belief and now he spells it out as a total belief. V60 Hard teaching, This was against Levitical law to eat a human and to drink blood. Jesus was under this law and cannot nor would not change it. Act 15:29 also mentions this pagan ritual. Notice then in v67 he asked the 12 if they wanted to leave and their response was No because they *BELIEVE* in Jesus. John 6 is a lesson in belief!
The Gospels came from the Catholic Church. Jesus Christ established the Catholic Church. I thank Jesus every day for guiding me to his church -- the Catholic Church.
The first “ church” was called The Way Acts 19:9 We all want to be the first church . It’s our human nature . But really it was the Messianic believers and the gentile believers who were first . The Catholic Church has a later date when it came to be . I like Mark 9:38-41 also . This is a beautiful verse 💞🙏🏻
@@Nancie6290 there is a first church that is still here today if not NOTHING matters… History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved it by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
Unless you can specifically tell me when you claim that the Catholic Church "has a later date when it came to be" you have a serious problem. The Catholic religion is the religion of the Catholic Church-i.e., that group of churches IN COMMUNION WITH THE POPE. If a group isn’t in communion with the pope, it isn’t part of the Catholic Church. The earliest document we have in which “Catholic” is used to label the Church that Jesus Christ established is found in a letter from the Apostolic Father St. Ignatius, ordained Bishop of Antioch, (a direct disciple of St. John the Apostle), who wrote around A.D. 107, while being taken to Rome for execution, quote: “WHEREVER THE BISHOP APPEARS, THERE LET THE PEOPLE BE; AS WHEREVER JESUS CHRIST IS, THERE IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.” Undoubtedly, this term CATHOLIC was already familiar before it was used by St. Ignatius. The word catholic comes from the Greek word ‘catholicus’ which means ‘universal’ because it is the only Church that is worldwide, following Jesus' command to “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age” (Matt. 28:19-20). The term "Catholic" used in both the APOSTLES CREED, first, (believed to have been written by the 12 Apostles) and the NICENE CREED adopted by the Magisterium at the Council of Nicaea (A.D. 325), primarily defined orthodox Christian belief in the Trinity to confront the Arian heresy, is reference to the same One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church that existed since the time of Christ. Both creeds are modeled on the baptismal profession of faith that we still have today in the Catholic Church at baptisms. If Judas had an apostolic successor (Acts 1:12-20), how much more important was it that Peter, the leader of the apostles, have one? Thus, a new Pope has been elected each time a previous one passed. Today, Pope Francis is the 267th successor since St. Peter. Jesus prayed for unity among His followers (John 17:21) and PROMISED that HIS CHURCH WOULD EXIST UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD, (Mat. 16:18); undoubtedly, beyond the Protestant Revolution, and STILL EXISTS TODAY. Protestants are, without fault of their own, calling Jesus a liar by not accepting that fact; thus, they mock everything that His One Universal Church is and does. To mock the Catholic Church is to mock Christ. Common sense alone should tell you why JESUS ESTABLISHED a ONE TRUE UNIVERSAL CHURCH; just look at the 45,000 different Protestant denominations/churches that currently exist WORLDWIDE, each having their own preferred interpretations and beliefs. Which denomination do you belong to? So, who are the real corrupt heretics leading people astray? I urge you to read what the Didache and Early Church Fathers say about the Mass and Eucharist, starting in 90 AD: www.therealpresence.org/eucharst/father/fathers.htm
Jesus PRAYED for UNITY AMONG HIS FOLLOWERS (John 17:21) and PROMISED that HIS CHURCH WOULD EXIST UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD, (Mat. 16:18); undoubtedly, BEYOND the Protestant Revolt, and STILL EXISTS TODAY UNIVERSALLY.. The earliest document we have in which “Catholic” is used to label Christ’s Church is found in a letter from the APOSTOLIC FATHER ST. IGNATIUS,, ordained BISHOP of ANTIOCH, a DIRECT DISCIPLE of ST. JOHN the Apostle, who wrote around A.D. 107, while being taken to Rome for execution, quote: “WHEREVER THE BISHOP APPEARS, THERE LET THE PEOPLE BE; AS WHEREVER JESUS CHRIST IS, THERE IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.” Scripture tells us in (1 Tim 3:15) that “THE CHURCH IS THE PILLAR AND FOUNDATION OF THE TRUTH”. Jesus established His One True Church giving HER AUTHORITY, starting with the Apostles, (also under the guidance of the Holy Spirit) to MAINTAIN UNITY, to ORDAIN His ministers and successors (Priests and Bishops), to PRESERVE the DEPOSIT of FAITH and PREVENT ERROR, to TEACH His TRUTH, to INTERPRET Holy Scripture, and to DISTRIBUTE HIS GRACE by way of the Seven Sacraments, including the Holy Eucharist in the Mass, THE PRIMARY MEANS CHRIST SHOWED and commanded HIS APOSTLES at the FIRST MASS, (the Last Supper), HOW WE ARE TO WORSHIP GOD and HAVE COMMUNION WITH HIM because of His great love for us: (Luke 22:19) in Greek -“Touto poieite eis tan eman anamnesin.” Translated: “Do This in memorial offering or memorial sacrifice of Me. St. John Henry Newman, the great 19th century English churchman, scholar and convert to Catholicism, famously once said, “To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.” The Catholic Church had existed for over 350 years without a finalized Bible. Until the Bible was available to all Christians the Church taught by Oral Tradition, by word of mouth. It was SACRED ORAL TRADITION that made possible compilation of the Bible. This proves that unwritten SACRED ORAL TRADITION IS JUST AS VALID A SOURCE OF REVELATION AS THE BIBLE. The Bible cannot stand on its own because it DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL OF GODS REVELATION. It wasn't until the year 382 that the Magisterium at the Council of Rome, during the reign of Pope Damasus-I, affirmed the canon of scripture, just as the Church has it today: 46 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament. The biblical canon was reaffirmed by the regional councils of Hippo (393) and Carthage (397), and then definitively reaffirmed by the ecumenical Council of Florence in 1442.Finally, the ecumenical Council of Trent solemnly defined this same canon in 1546, after it came under attack by the first Protestant leaders, including Martin Luther, who removed 7 books and altered some words to reflect his “new ideals” of Christianity. And, it wasn’t until around 1455 when the First Bibles were even available in printed form; thus, most people didn’t have direct access to it even till then. Jesus didn't write the Bible. Jesus didn't leave any writings. Jesus didn't instruct anyone to write. Jesus only taught with his words and directed His chosen Apostles and Disciples to teach the same. This fits a pattern of thinking that is really at the heart of the New-Covenant promise of the Holy Spirit into all Truth. Jesus endowed them with His Spirit and Authority, sending them out to do as He had done, under full protection from error. As the Church grew, they, in turn, handed on to newly-ordained leaders everything that Jesus had said and done. They usually handed this teaching down verbally, commonly known as Oral/Sacred Tradition -[(Corinthians 11:2) “I PRAISE YOU BECAUSE YOU REMEMBER ME IN EVERYTHING AND HOLD FAST TO THE TRADITIONS, JUST AS I HANDED THEM ON TO YOU”]; but, also sometimes in writing, known as Sacred Scripture. These sacred writings were collected and compiled by the Catholic Church. Where in the Bible does it say ‘the bible alone’, or ‘scripture alone’ is all you need to attain eternal life? If Scripture makes no such claim for itself, then the doctrine of ‘sola scriptura’ is made up; it is self-contradictory, and this undermines a central pillar of Protestantism. the Bible is a difficult book to understand. There has to be an authoritative interpretation or else you're obviously going to have a bunch of different churches that all disagree on difficult passages. Jesus wanted his people to be one, but the fruit of ‘sola scriptura’ does just the opposite; it causes disunity. ______________________ Who says so? Did God give you authority to decide for Him and to speak for Him? If so, I will be the first to believe all that you say. First of all, like so many wrongful accusations and comments that Protestants say about the Catholic Church, Catholics DO NOT "worship the Blessed Virgin Mary". We truly worship and adore God alone, for he is our Creator and Just as the Holy Spirit guided those who wrote the words in Holy Scripture, preventing them from error, so too was the Holy Spirit promised by Jesus to guide St. Peter and his successors in directing Christ's Church regarding MATTERS of FAITH and MORALS: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 16:18-19) BECAUSE CHRIST KNEW THAT THERE MUST BE ONE OVERAL LEADER or VISIBLE HEAD REPRESENTING HIS CHURCH, as a VISIBLE STAND-IN FOR HIMSELF, ANY ONE WHO ridicules and DENIES THE PAPACY HAS MADE HIMSELF HIS OWN POPE or gives himself that very same role. The Pastor position for the Eternal Church that Christ instituted began with His choosing of Saint Peter, (once Simon, son of John). THE PAPACY IS REVEALED IN SCRIPTURE: "No Rocks Required".

We are created for good works, after we are saved, And it is God who created the works we ought to perform, not to be saved. Ephesians 2:10. We do good works in Christ, thanks to Christ who saved us, not for us to be saved, through our effort. Any work needed for salvation was done by Christ alone, that's why he cried out "It is finished". Any work needed for salvation was finished by Christ. Please stop being so prideful in your own righteousness.

The Catholic Church started with Jesus; that's a fact. Since Christ said that "The Gates of Hell shall not prevail against it" that same Church should exist today, and it does. It survived beyond any attack you can imagine, even from Protestants.
The answer is that there is no date for the Catholic church. Simply because Jesus didn't start the Catholic church. The Catholic church started the Catholic church. Catholicism is a false religion with a false priesthood and a false papacy. There is no such thing as a Catholic priesthood. That is confirmed by none other than Peter in his epistles. Peter says nothing about a Catholic priesthood. He did say that believers are are priests. In fact he says you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. Rather surprising that the supposed first pope says nothing about a Catholic priesthood. In fact, he contradicts many Catholic doctrines. He also says nothing about praying to Mary, the rosary. There is no record of him ever presiding over a mass. There is nothing Catholic about Peter. He says nothing about Mary either. Strang for the first pope, don't you think?
A CLARIFICATION of THE HIGHEST FORM WORSHIP and SACRIFICE in SPIRIT and in TRUTH (A.) In HEBREWS 13:9-15 you’ll find these words: “DO NOT BE LED ASTRAY BY DIVERSE AND STRANGE TEACHINGS, FOR IT IS WELL THAT THE HEART BE STRENGTHENED BY GRACE, NOT BY FOODS, WHICH HAVE NOT BENEFITED THEIR ADHERENTS." This letter was written to address those Christians who were tempted to fall back into Judaism, to fall back into attending the sacrifices of the bulls and the goats and lambs at the TEMPLE in Jerusalem, the author of Hebrews enjoins them to STAY WITH the NEW COVENANT, a great source of grace, and not to go back to the old sacrifices precisely because in the Eucharist they have the fulfillment of all the sacrifices of the Old Testament. What kind of foods is St. Paul talking about? He is not talking about the Eucharist at this point. He’s talking about the sacrifices in the temple, many of which Christians don’t always know that were eaten; they would offer bread, they would offer wine, they would offer the flesh of the lamb; and, they would not just offer to God, they would eat it, they were foods and drinks associated with the temple. (B.). And then look at HEBREWS, verse 10: WE HAVE AN ALTAR FROM WHICH THOSE WHO SERVE THE TENT HAVE NO RIGHT TO EAT." What “altar” is Paul talking about here? IT IS THE ALTAR OF THE EUCHARIST-! What he’s saying here is that we Christians have an altar from which the priests of the temple don’t have a right to eat because they’re NOT PART OF THE NEW COVENANT. But, what that means is if the Eucharist is being received from an altar, then guess what it is? IT IS A SACRIFICE; IT'S NOT JUST A MEAL! It’s a Sacrifice and a Meal, just as the Passover once was in the Old Covenant. And Paul actually goes on to say that explicitly in the following verses: (HEBREWS 11) “FOR THE BODIES OF THOSE ANIMALS WHOSE BLOOD IS BROUGHT INTO THE SANCTUARY BY THE HIGH PRIEST AS A SACRIFICE FOR SIN ARE BURNED OUTSIDE THE CAMP. So, Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people by his own blood. For we have no lasting city but we seek the city which is to come; so, therefore, through him LET US CONTINUALLY OFFER UP A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE TO GOD, that is, THE FRUIT OF LIPS THAT ACKNOWLEDGE HIS NAME." Taken in context then, what is this “sacrifice of praise”? Well, it’s both offering hymns of praise, prayers, and thanksgiving of the early Christians; but, BUT IS ALSO THE SACRIFICIAL BANQUET OF THE CHRISTIAN ALTER OF THE EUCHARIST. (C.). Excerpt from “Is the Mass a Sacrifice?” by Jason Evert: Jesus is eternally a priest, (the Eternal High Priest); and, a priest’s very nature is to offer sacrifice. In the case of Christ, the eternal sacrifice that He offers is himself. This is why he appears in the book of Revelation AS A LAMB, standing as though he had been slain (REVELATION5:6). He appears in heaven in the state of a victim not because he still needs to suffer but because FOR ALL ETERNITY HE RE-PRESENTS HIMSELF TO GOD APPEALING TO THE WORK OF THE CROSS, interceding for us (ROMANS 8:34), AND BRINGING THE GRACES OF CALVARY TO US. The risen Christ, AS ONE PERFECT HEAVENLY OFFERING becomes present on the altar and offers himself to God as a living sacrifice. Like the Mass, Christ’s words at the Last Supper are words of sacrifice, “This is my body . . . this is my blood . . . given up for you.” So, the Mass is not repeating the murder of Jesus, but is taking part in what never ends: the offering of Christ to the Father for our sake (HEBREWS 7:25, 9:24). After all, if Calvary didn’t get the job done, then the Mass won’t help. IT IS PRECISELY BECAUSE THE DEATH OF CHRIST WAS SUFFICIENT that the MASS IS CELEBRATED. IT DOES NOT ADD OR TAKE AWAY FROM THE WORK OF CHRIST - IT IS THE WORK OF CHRIST. The Mass is the fulfillment of the Malachi Prophecy and also revealed in the DIDACHE: “ASSEMBLE ON THE LORD’S DAY, AND BREAK BREAD AND OFFER THE EUCHARIST; BUT FIRST MAKE CONFESSION OF YOUR FAULTS, SO THAT YOUR SACRIFICE MAY BE A PURE ONE. ANYONE WHO HAS A DIFFERENCE WITH HIS FELLOW IS NOT TO TAKE PART WITH YOU UNTIL HE HAS BEEN RECONCILED, SO AS TO AVOID ANY PROFANATION OF YOUR SACRIFICE. [Matt. 5:23-24]. For THIS is THE OFFERING of WHICH the LORD HAS SAID, ‘EVERYWHERE AND ALWAYS BRING ME A SACRIFICE THAT IS UNDEFILED, FOR I AM A GREAT KING, SAYS THE LORD, AND MY NAME IS THE WONDER OF NATIONS’[Mal. 1:11, 14]” (Didache 14 [A.D. 70]). THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS ITS LINEAGE: All Priests, Bishops and Popes can be traced back the twelve Apostles and St. Peter. REMEMBER, the Catholic Church existed before the books and letters of the new testament were canonized by that same Church in the year . Brief readings of the Apostolic Fathers and the DIDACHE, (“Doctrine of the Twelve Apostles”; see: dividetheword.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/the-didache.pdf ), will reaffirm that the Early Church was thoroughly Catholic, as today. It's structure and hierarchy are the same today as then. If Judas had an apostolic successor (Acts 1:12-20), how much more important was it that Peter, the leader of the apostles, have one? Thus, a new Pope has been elected each time a previous one passed. Today, Pope Francis is the 266th successor since St. Peter. Here is a link to a list of all the Popes: www.truechristianity.info/en/articles/list_of_popes.php . @@rbnmnt3341
You are ignorant. of history and how the Church grew. It took time for the Church to grow. It didn't happen over night. When did your church start? I BET THE CATHOLIC CHURCH EXISTED BEFORE YOUR CHURCH. What is the name of your church? Who compiled your Bible? I bet your Bible has 7 books missing; since the first Bible was compiled by the Catholic Church it had 73 Books.. A Christian cannot have an absolute assurance of which books belong in the Bible WITHOUT ACCEPTING THE AUTHORITY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH because it was the Catholic Church who compiled all the books it contains. The Church Christ established had existed for over 350 years without a finalized Bible. It wasn't until the year 382 that the Magisterium at the Council of Rome, during the reign of Pope Damasus-I, that we got the canon of scripture, JUST AS THE CHURCH HAS IT TODAY: 46 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament. This proves that unwritten SACRED ORAL TRADITION IS JUST AS VALID A SOURCE OF REVELATION AS THE BIBLE. It was ORAL TRADITION that led to WRITTEN TRADITION, the Bible. The Bible had to be written and transferred by hand before the printing press came about in the 15th century. The biblical canon was reaffirmed by the regional councils of Hippo (393) and Carthage (397), and then definitively reaffirmed by the ecumenical Council of Florence in 1442.Finally, the ecumenical Council of Trent solemnly defined this same canon in 1546, after it came under attack by the first Protestant leaders, including Martin Luther, (a self-designated Pope?). @@rbnmnt3341

I will add this one as a bonus to you. 9-12 says, "For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more." So a quick question. Why go to purgatory? And then there is 1 John 3:1-3. 3 being the key verse. It says, " "and every man that has this hope in him PURIFIETH HIMSELF, even as he is pure." Purgatory is a contradiction to this verse. We can purify ourselves by believing these three scriptures. Again, why go to purgatory. Jesus doesn't remember ours sins. Why does the church? Hebrews 9:12 reads, "neither by the blood of goats or lambs, but by his own blood he entered in ONCE into the HOLY PLACE, having obtained ETERNAL REDEMPTION for us." Your church teaches that the eucharist is for the forgiveness of sins, not only for the living but the dead. Now Hebrews 10. You can read Hebrews 10:1 on your own. 10: 10-12, "by the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ ONCE for all. V. 11. And every priest standeth there ministering and offering often times the same sacrifices which CAN NEVER TAKE AWAY SINS." V12, But THIS Man, after he had offered ONE sacrifice for sins FOR EVER, sat down at the right hand of the Father." V.14, For by ONE OFFERING he hath perfected FOR EVER them that are sanctified." V.17-18, and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. V.18, Now where there is remission of these is, THERE IS NO MORE OFFERING FOR SIN." Ok, si I'll keep in mind that the church has given itself sole authority to interpret scripture, but what do all these scriptures mean? Hat doesn't the church understand about the meaning of ONCE, ONE, FOR EVER? Now let me take you John 6. I have read how your church interprets these scriptures. What I don't find in John is the following. Where in scripture does it say that only the priest can conduct the mass? Where does John 6 say the the priest has the power to bring Christ down to the altar? Where does it say that Jesus bows his head in humble obedience to the commands of the priest? Let me ask. If this is really Jesus in the flesh, what does the priest do with the leftover flesh and blood? Does he return Jesus to heaven? What about the blood? And if this is Jesus, why are the wafers made in a factory by nuns?Then where does John 6 say that the priest has more power that the virgin Mary? This one is really interesting. Interesting when you consider that God gave Mary no special powers. Then your church teaches that you must "eat the flesh and drink the blood so that you can have life. Right? So why does the church not allow you to drink the blood? Does your church have a better idea than what Jesus said in John 6? You say make confession so that your sacrifice may be a pure one. "your sacrifice"? I thought Jesus was the sacrifice? How is Jesus a victim in all this? The victim/s are you guys for being so blasphemous. Why is this the only scripture that your church interprets literally? So this is my response to your eucharist. You're right, the church does have its own priests, etc. your first pope, Peter, mentions NOTHING about a Catholic priesthood. He says believers are priests. A chosen generation and a royal priesthood. So can you clear that up? Doesn't sound like the words of a pope. Can you tell me what canonized means? Have you ever read what Peter said about this canonizing stuff means? I have read scripture and can't find where it says the RCC had anything to do with God's word. Now about your succession story. Like all other church claims, they are false. Apparently you haven't read scripture very much. The book of Acts has requirements for apostles. The most important of which is this. That the selected apostle had to have seen the risen Christ. Scripture also tells us that the last to have seen the risen Christ was Paul. Did the current pope or going back, did they see the risen Christ? I don't think so. In closing, I will say that I know your church says that everything today is the same as back then. I will tell you with all confidence that that is a lie. There are some traditions that your church has done away with. I'll give you one. Did you know that one of your church traditions was priestly suicide? Well it was. The church believed it was a faster way to be with God. Then some genius figured out that they were losing too many priests. So if these traditions were handed down and Christ approved it, why did they do away with it? I know. Your church has never cared what God says in his word. John 6 being a perfect example. Your eucharist is NOTHING like John 6.
Again Mike, Baptism is on (John 3:5) And confessing your sins to a priest is on (John 20:23) (1John 1:9) and the catholic church does not teach salvation thru the Transubstantiation the catholic church teachs salvation thru Repentance and baptism
@@evangelist- my question is why continue teaching the doctrine of transubstantiation with such practice in a ritualistic way? Is faith in God to save through Jesus as our master not enough?
@@laurenmcnichol5311 ...A half truth. If we are saved "by grace, it is no longer by works. Otherwise grace would no longer be grace." You use the word, but you do not mean it. You mean "grace" the same way someone who sells a "free toaster" with the purchase of a new car means the word "free." It's anything but.
Jesus never founded a state run religion. You should just call yourself a Communist? Your traditions make void the word of God a you dare come here and say anything.
Which Jesus do you love? Jesus established the sacrament and Jesus did not come to the world by himself. He chosed to come through Mary , my medjutrix and YOURS.

@@mrynaperez1243 Show me in God's word that Mary is the spouse of the Holy Spirit! If she is the spouse of the Holy Spirit then she lived in sin with Joseph as her spouse. Show me where I need Mary in the scriptures. I feel sorry for you that you can not tell the difference between what a false religion says and what God's word says. The Jesus I refer to is the Son of God and the Messiah who died on the cross to redeem those who Love the Lord back to God. Who is alive and seated at the right hand of God and who will come again as promised. Who is your Jesus? The one you still have hanging on the cross or the one you have as a baby. How do you get to Jesus? Mary or the Holy Spirit and God's word?
Although I left the Catholic church some 30+ years ago, and also felt convicted 'away' from it upon reading the Bible for the first time. Despite that, I did truly believe then. In contrast to Gendron's referring to his confirmation as a literal "facial slap", the only striking I DID feel was within me, my heart, my spirit. And so, in spite of the confusion and my almost coming round full circle, then halfway back once, maybe now twice... I can say that was real, pure, and dare I say, holy.
How can you say the CC is holy when it was built on an unholy man, Peter. God/Jesus never built anything Holy on one of their creations. Think about it.
@@stever4181 Please understand that my comment wasn't made to state whether or not the Church is holy. I was sharing my confirmation experience as a contrast to hearing of someone receiving a facial slap.

@@ginao7803 In understanding scriptures we need to pay close attention to the language it was written in. Greek for the NT and Hebrew for the OT. Whenever we come across the word 'church' in the NT it is always the same Greek word. Which is Ekklesia. There is only one meaning to this word and that is People taken out of the world and into God's kingdom. The result is his church, the Body of Christ. Jesus's church are his believers. It never refers to any institution such as the CC. You: "As far as Peter being "the rock", I am praying for guidance, and that the Holy Spirit leads me gently." Read this in the Greek Peter=Petros= a small movable rock Rock=petra=an immovable natural rock usually used in building a foundation. You won't find this in the CC because they want you to think in their terms. If you are looking for the truth then the Bible is the only place to go not any religion. Blessings
@@stever4181 You asked: How can you say the CC is holy when it was built on an unholy man, Peter. Me: It has Jesus as its head. You: God/Jesus never built anything Holy on one of their creations.

There is only one meaning to this word and that is People taken out of the world and into God's kingdom Me: And everyplace it is used in the NT it refers to that church established by Christ and entered into through baptism. You: Peter=Petros= a small movable rock Me: When Jesus renamed Simoon to CEPHAS that was Aramaic and ONLY means ROCK.

@@bridgefin 1) Then It was built and sustained by Jesus not Peter. 2) Look at what I said, The Holy of Holy was not built on a man but God. 3) Correct it always refers to Christ's believers never an Institution. This means that you and I belong to Jesus's church which is not the CC. 4) Are you saying that the NT was written in Aramaic and that Matthew took it upon himself to rewrite Matt in Greek? 5) I could say the same about you Scriptures is the highest authority there is because it is God's word. Hope you have a blessed Easter. Christ is risen!
I have met quite a few ex-Catholics in my life and for the most part they have given up on all types of organized religion. Kristi Burke is a great youtuber that deconstructs Christianity although she wasn't a catholic. Many atheists can and will put this Mike Gendron to shame. By the way, Catholicism is NOT separated from Christianity, it and the full range of Orthodoxy are fully Christian. It's these protestants who got it wrong and the Orthodox can prove it.
"prove it." The definition of the word "proof" is elusive. Don't believe Church of Gendron has ever given one, nor has CoG ever shown proof, by the same standard, that his interpretation of scripture is repeatedly right. He doesn't even agree consistently with the other protestant denomination down the block.

REASONS WHY THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IS THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH 1. You can read about it in the New Testament. (MATTHEW 16:18; ROMANS 16:16; ACTS 4:12) 2. It has no creed but the Bible, binds no name on members but Christ’s. (ACTS 11:26; l PETER 4:16) 3. Its acts of worship are patterned after New Testament examples. (JOHN 4:24; ACTS 20:7; I CORINTHIANS 16:1-2; EPHESIANS 5:19; COLOSSIANS 3:16) 4. It teaches that UNITY can be achieved on all doctrinal disputed questions. (JOHN 17:21; I CORINTHIANS 1:10; EPHESIANS 4:4-6) 5. Its future: Eternal Glory with Christ. (I THESSALONIANS 4:17; MATTHEW 7:14) YOU CAN’T BE SAVED ANY OTHER WAY There’s just one way to the pearly gate, to the crown of life and the friends who wait. Tis that old cross road and the way called strait, there’s just one way to the pearly gate. “There’s Only One Provider”
We are saved by grace through faith (Eph 2:8-9). After this, God enables us to do good works (Eph 10). In addition, Christ himself says that just believing in Him is not enough. In John 15, He warns his followers that those who do not remain in him will be cut off from God. This means that a person can be a “true believer,” and yet if he does not abide in Him he will be cast forth, wither, and then suffer eternal death. These are the teachings of the Catholic Church.
The teaching of the CC is Faith + works. This is not what Jesus was talking about. Faith PRODUCES works like a seed produces a tree. You can not tack on your silly works that is meaningless.

This man is full of hypocrisy. He doesn’t know about biblical exegesis, doesn’t know about history of the Church. He is trying to present his own understanding and interpretation of scriptures as the truth.
No. The Lord Jesus Christ's ONE TRUE CHURCH submits to Him as the Head of the church, the Almighty, the Sovereign One, the All-knowing God, the only One who is PERFECT and therefore His Word is also perfect and SUFFICIENT for all the members of His one true church to fulfill what He calls us to be and do. The Roman Catholic Church that was formed in the 4th century doesn't find God's Word and Christ's FINISHED REDEMPTIVE WORK sufficient, and therefore teaches a false gospel (faith + WORKS). Lots of the Roman Catholic beliefs, teachings, and practices are unbiblical because Roman Catholicism itself is a mix of Christianity and paganism. No wonder its fruit in the form of idolatry is so very obvious and rampant.
@@EPHESIANS_5..11__Lady So is the Protestant teaching that we're saved by faith MINUS doing good works? The only place in the whole Bible where the words "faith" and "alone" are together is in James 2:24, where it clearly tells us we are NOT saved by faith alone!

Which scriptures do you used? Is it'd the same scriptures that compiled by catholics? So keep your mouth shut, you are not wise, because u lack understanding
Pretty sad to this pastor, the Catholics complied the Bible, and your asking them which Jesus they follow, in another vedieo this pastor says, discussing regarding the Eucharist, that what he meant was Word to Peter, but in John chapter, it states in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God,... And the word was made Flesh and dwelt amongst us.
Isaiah 2:8 “Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:” Matthew 6:7 “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.” Romans 6:10 “For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.” Starting to get the picture ??
The Bible says our Jewish Messiah, Yeshua Jesus, gave the gospel to His Jewish disciples and apostles, and they compiled the canon of the Bible, as well as wrote the New Testament under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. After all, salvation was to the Jew first then to the Gentiles. I do not see in my Bible that Catholics compiled the Bible, I read it was the Jewish disciples of our Jewish Messiah, who protected the ancient scrolls throughout thousands of years. See Romans 1:16-17. I do not take men's words to heart unless their words are confirmed by the Bible (see Acts 17:11) I hope this helps clarify for you. Blessings to you, in our Lord Jesus, be with you as you search the Scriptures for answers.
We Catholics have a proverb always proven true in reality about one’s width of reading, depth of study, and height of understanding of the Bible and where this leads to: “Weak Catholics become Evangelicals; Strong Evangelicals become Catholics.” Mike Gendron was obviously a weak Catholic! You Evangelicals who follow him evangelizing Catholics, I invite you to read, study, and understand the Bible ever more fully. (Emphasis on the "fully," meaning completely from Genesis to Revelation and its biblical theology, not just the isolated clobber texts you are taught about and trained to throw at us Catholics!) We Catholics pray that Mike becomes a strong Evangelical and are happy to welcome you and him home to the original, true and full Christian church, founded by Jesus himself, the Catholic Church.
@@TruthHasSpoken The Bible talks about discernment and that we are to test every spirit 1 John 4:1. If a person were to say he is without sin and infallible, that goes directly against 1 John 4:1. I would not believe anything he had to say and would walk away. Matthew 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’… I will say to you you judge unjustly by calling this man a Protestant since that term means anyone who is not Catholic. It is a derogatory term at best and paints a black smear on the most ardent believers in Christ. I am sure you know many Catholic that go to mass just because it is what they always have done and have little to no belief in Jesus as the Christ. I know I have meant many such Catholics. Would you call them a protestant as well? Because those who do not believe in Jesus as the Son of God and the Messiah are rebellious against God and not part of God. They may be part of the CC but can you now see the difference?
@@stever4181 "I will say to you you judge unjustly by calling this man a Protestant since that term means anyone who is not Catholic" No Steve.

I have friends, who love and worship God as they know best, who refer to themselves as protestants. Protestant denominations will even, proudly, affix the name "protestant" into the very denomination name. th-cam.com/channels/eArSDcYtarSRjfc9D4p2MQ.html Others quote proudly speak to how old they are as a PROTESTANT denomination. _As the oldest Protestant Church in the city of Los Angeles, we celebrate the many diverse religious voices in our city, even as we seek to embody the spirit of Jesus by loving our neighbor as ourselves._ (First Congregational Church of Los Angeles website) "I am sure you know many Catholic that go to mass just because it is what they always have done and have little to no belief in Jesus as the Christ" When they go to Mass, they believe in the Resurrected Christ, and receive him in the Eucharist, a means for receiving his Grace. Then there are those Catholics who seldom attend mass, who don't participate in the life of the Church. I know few of these personally but they exist. It's these poorly catechized Catholics who leave for some flavor of protestantism. They are seeds along the path, on rocky grown, or are having weeds choking them. "Would you call them a protestant as well?" No. If you ask them what Church they belong to, they would all say "I am Catholic" regardless whether they attend regularly or not.

Once saved always saved ? Really ? Listen to the words of of St. Paul " Work out your salvation in trembling and fear." (2 Phil. 2: 13) " There must be no premature judging." ( 1 COR. 4: 3-5 )"The man who thinks he is saved must be careful that he does not fall."( 1 COR. 10: 12-13). " " For we must be content to hope that we shall be saved - our salvation is not in sight, we should not have to be hoping for it if we were, but as i say, we must hope to be saved since we are not saved yet, it is something we must wait for with patience." (8 ROMANS: 24-25). Where in Scripture is it written : "Once saved always saved?
John 10:28 "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand." If you don't believe in "once saved always saved", you're saying, God will somehow let Satan snach them away from Him, which is ridiculous. That's why catholics worship false Jesus and don't understand what happens after you are born again and saved, because they're not.

There is only one Jesus that Catholics worship and trust.The one who established his Church (Body of Christ) on the foundation of the apostles that possesses the fullness of the means of salvation. Christ died so that our sins could be forgiven, and we once more had the right to enter heaven. Baptism erases the stain of original sin and any sins committed. After Baptism, all sins committed have to be absolved and forgiven.Christ gave his apostles the authority to forgive sins in his name. "Whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven. Whose sins you retain, they are retained" This is Scriptural. The Mass is a celebration of the memorial of Christ's death and resurrection, which he told us to do at the Last Supper

“36. Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38. This is the first and great commandment. 39. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. 41. (Mat 22:36-41, KJV)
You think you keep the law......not really. The law justifies nobody. If it did, then Jesus would not have had to die for our sins. In saying you are keeping the law, we know you are therefore a liar.
I think some Catholics LOVE Jesus, but there is something wrong about their doctrines. They have married all sorts of religions and pagan practices together. Idol worship and praying to saints (necromancy) is not biblical. Also, the Bible/Jesus says do not call anyone your father but the father in heaven.

Very accurate! I know all he speaks of, learned it at school and family! He really doesn’t know the faith he left, yet sets himself up to condemn that he doesn’t know! Catholics believe in all he says to a large degree. Yet he rejects what Jesus himself says. For him there is no Eucharist, but John 6 could not be clearer. This is my body! Christianity is the logical progression from Judaism, as Jesus came not to change the law but to perfect it! His understanding of the priesthood is so flawed. It’s almost laughable we’re it not so seriously sad. Remember, Jesus gave the keys to the Kingdom to a man, Peter, to continue the teaching that he gave to his followers. Redemption is final, but acceptance of this is necessary. This message has to be got out there, again in human form and terms. No priest stands in for Christ! But they stand as the one who shows the way. The sin of man is forgiven if we ask. Yes we do sin again and again and are in need of redemption that was won again and again! The Mass is the re presentation of the one and only Act of redemption. Lear what Catholics really know, not what this preacher tells you. You may be surprised
The greatest takeaway from Mike is the alarming lack of strong biblical teaching and to understand the Gospel and what Jesus did for us in the New Testament. Mike is "spot on".
Your ignorance of the Catholic faith and its teachings is breathtaking! Christ is the centre of the Catholic faith and his work of atonement is the basis for salvation. This is what's taught and practices. Good luck with your 40,000 and counting denominations, by all means practice your love of Jesus but leave things you know so little about alone. God bless to you all. 🙏
Which faith has magic wafers, multiple mediators, (each with its own statue/idol/image, for easier mediation.) Even though these statues have eyes that can't see, and ears that can't hear? (not something that has ever stopped a pagan from his favourite act.) Which faith teaches its followers they have to go to Paedophiles, drunkards, and homosexuals, disguised as pagan priests to confess their sins to? Need a clue? Not protestant! 🤣 You Catholics always pretend Christians are ignorant of your cults beliefs, even though we know them better than any Catholic because we actually study Catholic teaching for ourselves and don't just go by hearsay like you pagans! If you had any clue what your doctrines actually teach, by reading about what you're told to believe, instead of just staring at statues all day, you might have something to add to the debate; but i've never met a Catholic who could even name the books of the Bible, never mind accurately repeat what Rome teaches. (and i belong to a very large Roman Catholic family, myself..(but am now saved from that cult. Thank you Jesus!) I have been studying this Satanic Cult, i was unwillingly born into, for decades now, and i know more about "Roman Catholicism than you ever will. But i have no doubt that you will still use that lame, pathetic argument on me, because it's the only back answer you have to soothe your demonically tortured mind. ("You don't know what we believe!!!) 😆🤣 Right, and the Catholic Catechism, encyclopedia, Priests and apologists teachings are all just lies, and that's not really what you false christians believe??? Okay, then you tell us what Roman Catholicism teaches, smart boy, as you evidently know more than any Catholic that ever lived and is burning in hell knew, as we speak! Or are you just as full of bull as your Pagan, devil serving masters? You don't have to reply, i already know your answer. 😆😇 #dontdopaganism
And i truly hope there are far more than only 40,000 non catholic denominations on earth, or Rome will think it's got a hope of winning by keeping you Catholics enslaved by her false gospel and demonic teachings! We're trying to save as many Catholics from hell as we can...But that depends on finding those Catholics who love truth, (like myself,) more than the lies of the Devil's false religions. (like yourself.) 😇🙏
You claim your pope is VICARIVS FILII DEI Vicarivs Filii Dei, which means “a vicar of the Son of God.” Dei, Dei, “Deity,” see. See, “The vicar of the Son of God.” ...or in place of the SON OF GOD. YOU SAY INNUMERABLE HAIL MARYS TO HIS DEAD MOTHER, Thinking she can hear the millions of prayers said to her giving her the GODLY attributes of omnipresence and omniscience, Claim she was born without sin and was taken physically up to heaven alive. There is absolutely no evidence of any of this except in catholic mythology. If CHRIST is the center of Catholicism why all the statues of mary and your dead Saints? why is CHRIST re-sacrificed millions of times a day? Why do your priests tell you to mumble Hail Marys as your penance for sin When JESUS paid it all. You will have to answer for all your blasphemies!

I finally at age 58 put down my religious pride to read the bible and follow the truth wherever its leads. I read the bible to know more about Jesus never thought about leaving the catholic church EVER! but here i am left the catholic church because it does not lined up with the bible.

Why run away from Peter because of Judas?
@@kiwi-xl1vl He did not. He ran away from Peter to Jesus! You are still fixated on a man Peter and not on Jesus.
@@stever4181 who could have known Peter & Judas more than Jesus while choosing them to be His Apostles? A saying, 'To err is himan, to forgive divine'. In their weakness, while Peter repented to become a saint, Judas repented only to the point of feeling remorse & self destruction. The Church Jesus established has both saints and sinners. The sanctity of His Church is based on saints and not sinners
It is justified to believe in the same Jesus who gave the keys to Peter to manage the affairs of His Kingdom until He returns. Everyone has different opinions and God respects our free will. "And to these people you shall say, 'Thus says the Lord: See, I am setting before you the way to life and the way to death.. " Jer 21:8
@@kiwi-xl1vl You like so many Catholic do not understand the meaning of church in over 115 times it is mentioned. Would you like me to explain it to you?
I suggest you look at what the Bible has to say about who saints are. They are believers in Jesus as Son of God and the Messiah. It is man that has said they are something else. So Peter was a saint when he believed in Jesus not later. That is a false teaching by the RCC. Paul refers to the recipients of his letters as saints.
The way to life or salvation is through Jesus, not any religion. "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father (salvation) except through me." (John 14:6)
So salvation is in Jesus, not a religion. Ephesians 2:8-9 also shows this "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast."
@@stever4181 Question = Which is the True Church ?
Of all the religions, our - Living - God has favoured Roman Catholic Christianity, more than all others, with His presence and manifestations in the past 2,000 years. Catholics have been favoured with Eucharistic Miracles- like the 1996 Eucharistic Miracle of Buenos Aires, Argentina & in Lanciano, Italy in the 8th C - among many other miracles
(( Note - Satanists will steal a consecrated " Catholic " Holy Communion host for use in their diabolical " Black Masses'' They will keep away from the communion hosts of near-Catholic Protestant denominations like the Anglicans, Methodists and the Lutherans precisely because these don't have the Presence of Jesus. ))
In Acts 2:27 - we read - For God will not allow His Holy one to undergo corruption. Likewise, God has clothed with incorruptibility the corpses of Catholic saints who have led a holy life in conformity with Jesus. The 500 year incorrupt corpse of St. Francis Xavier, which resides in Goa, India.is one example. The incorrupt corpse of the Lebanese St. Charbel Makhlouf is another example.
Fr. Albert Hebert has compiled a list of over 400 resurrections of people who died but were raised to life by many Catholic saints. His book - Raised from the Dead - is available in book-stores.
Jesus, our Living God, has appeared to many saints. In the 14th C, Jesus appeared to St. Bridget of Sweden who was much desirous of knowing about his agony He endured on the Way to Calvary - in other words, His Passion & Death. For a whole year Jesus taught her 15 Prayers and attached Promises to anyone who repeats these Prayers continuously for a year - the 1st Promise being - Jesus will deliver 15 souls of his/her lineage from Purgatory. ( Note - you can check the Internet under - The 15 Prayers of St. Bridget - and also view the Promises. )
And in the 1930's, not yet a hundred years ago, Jesus appeared almost daily to a Polish Nun, Sr. Faustina, and taught her the following prayer - Eternal Father, I offer you the Body & Blood, Soul & Divinity of your dearly Beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. In atonement for our sins and those of the whole world. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and the whole world. - This is in line with The Lord's Prayer which is pluralistic with the words - Our, Us, We, etc.
(( Note = Sr Faustina kept a Diary of Jesus visits which is available from book-stores with its Title - Divine Mercy in My Soul
I urge you to purchase a copy and read it. ))
In 1995, Jesus appeared to a Nigerian named Barnabas and gave him the Devotion to His Precious Blood.
Mary has appeared in many places like Lourdes, France and Fatima, Portugal, and Guadalupe, Mexico City, Mexico - among many other places and at different times. Moreover, She has appeared for 3 years nightly over a Coptic Church in Zeitoun, Egypt and pictures of her are available on the Internet.
Lastly, before the Catholic Church declares a person - Saint - 2 first class miracles must be attributed to that deceased person - miracles which are mostly authenticated by non-Catholic doctors and professionals.
On the other hand, the agents of Satan, Communists and Masons - aka Free-Masons - have long sought to infiltrate the Catholic Church clergy and thus undermine its teachings
In the 1960's, ex-Communist executive of the Communist Party of USA, Bella Dodd testified before the US Congress that the Communists had sent over a 1,000 men into Catholic seminaries (( Note - this can be checked on the Internet. ))
Undoubtedly, the Catholic Church has been favoured by our Living God and at the same time has been the target of God's enemies - because she represents the Truth regarding her Doctrine.
Secondly, The Bible is, historically, a dated book as it records only to the 1st Century. Thus we read only the deaths of Judas and James but not about the other 10 Apostles or of Paul as to when, where and how they died. Does it mean that, because their deaths are not recorded, that they are still alive ?? Obviously not.
Paul declares the Bible - useful and profitable - in 2 Timothy 3:16, but that the Church is the Bulwark and Pillar of Truth - 1 Timothy 3:15. That is because the Church, the community of Believers, came first - Matthew 16:18 - and incorporates both the written word as well as the oral tradition - 2 Thessalonians 2:15.
And the Bible declares that Jesus performed a = World of Works = which are unrecorded - John 21:25.
As a result 2 traditions ensued - oral and written - 2 Thess. 2:15 - which are of equal merit.
By "Sola Scriptura" Protestants are only receiving part of Divine Truth thus resulting in so many denominations.
The Catholic Church was founded on Peter's declaration of Jesus' Divinity - Matt. 16:16 and Jesus' promise - Matt 16:17-19- and holds to both traditions. It is the Church of the Living God and the Pillar and Bulwark of Truth - 1 Timothy 3:15
I was raised catholic, and went to the catholic church my entire childhood into adulthood (against my will mostly😉). My entire family remains catholic. I was never saved, until later in life when I became SO lost, and finally begged God to show me the TRUTH about who He was and how to serve Him. He led me to read His Word, and He gave me discernment through His holy spirit to discern His word, and I came under fear of the Lord, as I finally came to understand that I was NOT a good person, and that I needed a savior desperately, and finally understood what Jesus did for me on the cross, and who He was. I turned from my sins, and put my faith in Jesus alone, and I was born again. He also opened my eyes instantly to see that the practices of the catholic church were not biblical. I never went back to that church, and now go to a spirit filled church that follows true biblical doctrine. The one thing that always makes me have a little difficulty when confronting the question of whether my family, who remain catholic are saved, is that the Lord said, we will know them by their fruits. My mother and grandmother are the most kind, loving, gentle, faithful, long-suffering, honest people I know of. So giving also. And they genuinely seemed to love the Lord, even though they are deceived about the truth. It's so hard for me to imagine my sweet, always praying grandmother, or mother could be in hell right now. The catholic church deceives its followers greatly, but many are genuinely trying to do what they think is the right thing. Yet, I know....that if they read the Word, they should depart from those unbiblical practices. The allegiance seems to be to the church and the saints and Mary, and not the Lord. I've tried repeatedly to reach through to my mother, but she is absolutely convinced she must never leave the catholic practices.
I also want to add that you are exactly right. It wasn't until, through the Word, that I understood I was a sinner against God and was headed to the torments of hell, thst I finally understood WHY Jesus died on that cross, and that it was the most precious gift we could recieve! That led to fear of the Lord, fear of being separated and judged, and I came to GENUINE repentance, and genuinely understood for the first time who Christ was. It changed everything. I became transformed by His Word, saved by His grace and His spirit. I was blind, but now I can see. I can hear the voice of my Shepard, and He alone is GOOD.
My testimony has similarities to yours. 🙂
Nicely written and shared Sister.
Stay close to the LORD!
👍😇
Amen!
Thank you for sharing this with us, Heather. I rejoice in the knowledge that the LORD led you on the right path. Praise be to our God!
As to your mother and grandmother, it is a difficult situation. They, most probably, were brought up from early childhood with the notion that the Catholic church is the only way....and it became a life-long habit. It is good that you have tried to share the Gospel with your mother. Now, all you can do, is to leave it in God's hands. Pray for her. Fasting (if you can) is also highly recommended (see Exodus 34:27-28; Luke 2:36-38; 2 Samuel 12:15-23). Pray that her eyes may be open one day, that she will see the Truth.
Remember, we are not saved by good works. Even the nicest, kindest, most loving person can end up badly because they refuse to follow Christ. Our God gave us a set of rules to follow in this life. These are lasting commandments for God does not change His mind about His law.
The first one goes like this: "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind." Matthew 22:37 We are here to love God first and foremost. Above any human. Loving thy neighbour must always come second. So even the nicest person who loves every human- but does not love God the way that He is supposed to be loved (John 14:15; Matthew 19:17; Leviticus 22:31 and elsewhere)- is breaking the very first Commandment. It is truly heart-breaking but people who are stiff-necked are deciding their own fate (2 Kings 17:13-14).
Heather, thank you for sharing your testimony and praise the Father for His grace and mercy!
Jesus wrote to the church of Thyatira in Revelation 2:18 to 29. This letter describes the church of the middle ages, the rise of the Roman Catholic church. He said in verse 19 that "I know thy works, and charity (love), and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works..." Jesus knows the love in the hearts of his people that are in this "church". In verse 24, He continues, "unto the rest of Thyatira, as many as HAVE NOT THIS DOCTRINE... And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations". The doctrine He spoke about were those who 'loved the church' more than Him.
If the love of God shines into this world from your family members and not the love of the church, then God has sealed them.
You were never Catholic.
Thank you for sharing. Listening, hungry for the Word of God. You are a very humble man when you speak. It's like you get out of the way, and the Holy Spirit shares. Thank you.

Jesus said to make it into the kingdom of God, one must be born of water & of the Spirit. You must be born again to see the kingdom of God.
This is the gospel in which you must be saved as u love the Lord w/ all your heart, soul, mind & strength. And to love your neighbor as thyself. Amen
And thru baptism we are born of water, thru believing in Jesus we are born again of the spirit.
All catholics do this. Don't know about non-catholic christians, tho.
I was baptized by full emersion. A few years later the preacher said that I was going to burn in HELL!
The Catholic Priest only asked if I had been baptized, and I replied "yes". He then said "Bless you my son" I replied "Why am I supposed to call you Father, you're not Jesus"" Well he didn't punch me in the nose and I've been Catholic now for almost 50 years.@@ChristopherHudetz
@@ChristopherHudetz Being born of water is natural birth, if you keep reading Jesus say what is FLESH IS FLESH and what is Spirit is Spirit, You are born from your mothers womb ( water) and then your Spirit, born again. Water cannot make your spirit clean, only the Words of God can
@@TheGuitarReb You are only going to hell if you do not confess with your mouth and believe the Lord Jesus, water does not get you into heaven
Born again is being born from above, baptism. It's what they believed for the first 1550 years. The born again evangelicals refer to is the version from Calvery chapel in the 1960s.

Mark 12:38-40
Then He [Jesus] said to them in His teaching, "Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts, who devour widow's houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation "

1 Timothy 2:5-6
For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
It is clear that Mary is not a co-redemptrix and no priest has authority to mediate and/or forgive sins between God and man. All who choose Christ as Savior have personal RELATIONSHIP with Christ, in lieu of "religion" and therefore have personal access to Jesus 24/7/365 anywhere and all the time. I am comforted by this, as I am often conversing with Jesus, through prayer, much of each day and night, especially lately. You can do this also. Pray directly to our Lord and Savior. God bless you all.

that's so sad to hear, What is the foundation of bulwark of truth? Did you think it was the BIBLE alone? The answer is found in your Bible, 1 Timothy 3:15. Ask your pastor why did Jesus say to eat his flesh and drink his blood in John Chapter 6 3x and those unbelievers left him. Are you and your pastor also an unbeliever? Your pastor will tell you Jesus was talking metaphorically, but you know what? In the whole gospel of John, John did not mention nor talk about any parable. In the last supper did Jesus say This is MY BODY or did he say pretend that this is my body? Did he say this is symbollically my body? Only the Catholic Church can give you his Body.
In Matthew 16:18-19 Jesus established a Church, 1 church. Not churches. Do you know which Church DARES to claim it has been founded by Jesus? Have you tried to google, who founded the Catholic Church and then you can google, who founded YOUR pastors church or who founded the anglican church or who founded the churches down your street. Funnily all of those PROTESTANT churches are founded by mere MAN. Guess which Church was founded by Jesus Christ. In the same 2 verses, Jesus said the Gates of hell will not prevail against the Church, That would mean that Church is still around, or Jesus is LYING. Which is?
You have been cheated by the false prophets and preachers who preach to you things they do not understand and lead you and themselves to their death. 2 Peter 3:16.

It amazes me how he could spend 1 hour talking badly about the Catholic Church instead of using this precious time everybody gathered to study the Bible (the most important thing in their lives).
These "pastors" ' mission is simply to pull as many people out of the Catholic Church as possible because they have no root, they have to take the fruits elsewhere, they cannot bear new fruits on their own. They need the hatred for the Catholic Church to survive and to have a reason to keep dividing into hundreds more denominations while the Catholic Church keeps her one and only form forever because no gate of hell can shake it just as Jesus said so.
I never once in my life attending masses and hear any priest talking bad about our Christian brothers and sisters. I am always taught that we all have a same Father on heaven and we should love, respect and pray for each other. So by just a look at it, there's a huge difference for you to judge.
Peace be with you!
The problem comes with all of the added stuff the CC puts as Holy and is not. That is the complaint of Christians. It is pointed at the CC not the Catholic who are being deceived by the CC.
It doesn't matter, because a big majority of them come back. Once they realize they're continually stuck on first base hearing all the same messages, they'll start researching church history and the early church writings and everything they thought they had learned just completely falls apart. Drendon ignores that portion and doesn't want you pay attention to it.
Go online and just look up Grendron debates of Catholic. It's almost embarrassing.
@@aggienodari453 Iwould agree that if you look at early catholic church history and early catholic church writings you will become or stay catholic. All one needs do is look at how mant Catholics there are in the worlk to see it is a broad road traveled.
Yet when you leave that man-made institution and start reading and understanding Gods written word you *WILL* see the deceatefull ness of the CC and leave it. I speak from experience.
You: "It doesn't matter, because a big majority of them come back. "
Me: Yours is an opinion bassed on what you want to believe not on true facts of God's word to man.
You: "Once they realize they're continually stuck on first base hearing all the same messages"
Me: When someone writes things like this it tells me they have never set foot in a Christian Church or if they have they did not listen or study what was said. It also shows ignorance.

First of all there is no Protestant Bible per day
The King James Version is also referred to as the Authorized version,( textus receptus ) the received text-taken from the Antioch manuscripts, where Paul started the church after fleeing Jerusalem-
not the Alexandrian ones where the Catholic Bible comes from and all those you quoted from come from . The Alexandrian texts are not inspired writings, yes they are early writings, but they are opinions
“…. Not through works, lest any man should boast “
Beware in the last days of posts like these

@@peterantonacci HISTORY OF PROTESTANTISM AND IT'S FOUNDATIONAL DOCTRINES OF "SCRIPTURE ALONE" AND "FAITH ALONE":
Protestantism & it's doctrines of "scripture alone" and "faith alone" is a false faith which was started in 1517 by Martin Luther ...not Jesus. ORIGINAL Christians, (catholics) WORSHIP GOD and HONOUR MARY as the mother of our Lord, and the false faith of protestantism exists only to oppose and attack the Catholic church,
👉👉 Jesus established his church 2000 years ago, 15 centuries before Luther started the protestant "reformation" ever took place. The church that Jesus established was the authority for the first 15 centuries until Luther "nullified" the authority of the church and invented his false doctrine of "scripture alone" and his secondary doctrine of "faith alone" which ignores and rejects all scriptures that demand good works from us.
WHAT MAKES A PERSON A PROTESTANT?
iF:
1. You use Luther's altered bible with missing books (the protestant bible)
2. You follow Luther's invented doctrine of "scripture alone"
3. You follow Luther's invented doctrine of :faith alone" (which ignores all scriptures that demand good works from us)
4. You join in Luther's rebellion by attacking the Catholic church...
The you are following Martin Luther and are a PROTEST-ant.
Jesus did not establish the protest church nor did he give authority to it.
BIBLICAL AND HISTORICAL PROOF THAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH GOES BACK TO JESUS:
(ALL copied from the protestant version of the Bible by Cynthia X)
➨ JESUS gives authority of the Church TO PETER the first Pope. (NOT TO CONSTANTINE, Not to Luther, not Calvin, not Ellen White or any other "reformer" )
✦ MATT 16:13-19: Jesus gives keys of the Kingdom to PETER and builds his church upon PETER.
✦ ACTS 15:7-12: "After much debate had taken place, PETER got up and said to them, “My brothers, you are well aware that from early days God made his choice among you THAT THROUGH MY MOUTH THE GENTILES WOULD HEAR THE WORD OF THE GOSPEL AND BELIEVE."
✦ JOHN 21:15-19: Jesus tells PETER to "Feed my sheep"
✦ HEBREWS 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
✦ JOHN 13:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
HISTORICAL EVIDENCE:
➨ The body of PETER now lies under the altar of St Peter's basilica. Evidence is even shown by unbiased secular media giants National Geographic, A&E & a book: "The Bones of St Peter"
WRITINGS FROM THE EARLY CHURCH FATHERS:
The word "Catholic" was used to describe the church in writing in the year 110 by St Ignatius of Antioch, and was used in a manner which suggests that it was already in use and understood. These writings also confirm Catholic teachings, not protestant teachings, and thgey confirm PETER as head of the church.
Sources for the writings of the early church:
book: The Fathers klnow best
book: The four witnesses
website: www.newadvent.com
➨The True Church is a TEACHING CHURCH:
(To TEACH is to impart knowledge that is not oresently known....not in writing)
✦JOHN 14:26-31
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall TEACH you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
✦JOHN 16:14:
"When the Spirit of truth comes He will guide you to all truth."
✦ Acts 8:26-40 King James Version (KJV)
30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
@@peterantonacci THE PROTESTANT DOCTRINES OF SCRIPTURE ALONE AND FAITH ALONE ARE NOT BIBLICAL:..
➔ The entire foundation of Protestantism is false:...

● MATT 18:15-17
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto THE CHURCH: but IF HE NEGLECTS TO HEARTHE CHURCH let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
The True Church is a TEACHING Church: (to Teach means to impart knowledge that is not presently know....not in writing)

Amazing teaching.. Glory be the name of Jesus our lord our savior our God ✝️🧎♀️
There is so much paganism and false teachings in the Roman church ( and many other churches) that the generational propaganda is hard to break. BUT....God called the Christian murderer Saul so all things are possible.
If you don't trust the Catholic Church on what it believes and teaches, why would you trust the Catholic Church to provide you with the Bible that She compiled and finalized by the Magisterium at the Council of Carthage under the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the year 382 A.D., the one book you're basing your entire religion off of? And then, to have the gall to remove 7 of its books to justify your personal belief. Jesus established His One True Church with the Authority to TEACH His TRUTH, to INTERPRET Holy Scripture, and to distribute His Grace by way of the Sacraments, (also under the guidance of the Holy Spirit). He promised that His Church would exist until the end of the world. (Mat. 16:18) Mike Gendron and his followers are calling Jesus a liar by not accepting that fact; thus, he mocks everything that the Universal Church is and does. To mock the Church is to mock Christ. He continues to ignore theological explanations of what and why the Catholic Church has taught, believed, and practiced for the past 2,000 years; so, there is no excuse for his heresies. Pray for Mike Gendron and his misled followers for their conversion back to the True Church.

Protestants always say that "Jesus did it all" but JESUS tells us we must do OUR PART:....
👉Jesus tells us in MATT 25 that we must feed the hungry and clothe the naked if we expect to enter the kingdom of God.
👉Jesus tells us in MATT 1917 that we must keep the commandments
👉Jesus tells us in JOHN that we must eat his flesh and drink his blood in order to have eternal life
👉There are MANY other scriptures that tell us we must abide in him....that means remain in him.
There are many more that I cou;ld add to this list as well.
@@savedbygrace8337 Jesus did not give you the doctrines of "scripture alone" and "faith alone" Both of these doctrines were invented by Martin Luther. HE is the founder and messiah of the protestant revolt
This message from me for my Catholic brothers and sisters: If you would like to identify yourself as a Catholic - fine; but do not follow any of their teachings and practices. Read the Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to help you.
Lets see? Teachings and practices: Go to Church on Sunday, pray to God, partake communion, love your neighbor, get Baptized, etc. Same things I did when I was a Protestant except now I don't hate Catholics.
Not the same things Catholics do/believe
Unless your brother or sister is an identical twin, you are not the same person. Well neither is your Spirit and your Soul.
Catholic's follow the teaching of Jesus. SUPRISE! just like Protestants.
I found that out the hard way when I left the protestant church and became atheist. "The Holy Spirit" did help me. God's Spirit put me into the Catholic Church and now my Soul is at peace.
Yes indeed I am your brother, I just look a little different. Peace be with you.

Matthew 16:18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock[a] I will build my church, (and the gates of hell[b] shall not prevail against it.) (Are you calling Jesus a liar)
No just the CC on this verse. They do exactly what the devil does and that is twist scriptures to support themselves.
Thanks a lote for compered Protestant and R,Catholic
Catholics worship in spirit and truth. Christ established His true church in 33 AD, not 1517 like Protestantism. Convert and leave the 10,0000 denominations
Where is it written that Jesus established the CC?
@@stever4181 - where is it written that He didn’t? See how silly it becomes when you deny reality. Learn history please. Even the secular world knows this. Do you think Christianity started with the first Protestant, Luther? Read about the successors of the apostles like ignatius of Antioch in100 AD. He was a Catholic bishop. No prottys for 1517 years. Where is it written to follow man made Protestant religions like “Lutheran” or “Baptists” or Methodists or nondenominational.?? Hope this helps.
@@crusader333ad So you base your understanding on what was NOT written. Then Jesus was married and had children.
We do not have truth on what is not written but what is written.
I asked a simple question, "Where is it written that Jesus started the CC"? You did not answer because it is not there. That means that someone outside of Jesus's circle made it up. You then say "History tells us," History tells us lots of falsehoods. Are you so gullible that you believe all of this? But then the "secular world" knows this. Now you are showing a complete lack of understanding of God's word and does not surprise me that you are Catholic. If you understood Matthew 16:18 you would know that the church Jesus started is not part of the *"secular world"*.
This brings me to your question, "Where is it written that He didn’t?"
Matthew 16:18 is where. The word used for 'church' here and throughout the NT is 'ekklesia' It refers to Christ's believers as his church. It never refers to any religion and that included the CC. This means that your religion the CC is lying to you when it says Jesus started the CC in Matt. 16:18. Your faith is relyant upon the CC and that same CC is lying to you. You told me to"learn some history". Now I say to you, Learn some Greek and Hebrew so you can understand scriptures instead of following lies and made-up falsehoods of your CC. The choice is yours.
There is not 100 people who hate the Catholic Church, but millions that hate what they wrongly perceive to be the Catholic Church.
-Bishop Fulton Sheen
@taylorrowe2002 they don’t read the catechism, they don’t seem to care about what we actually believe. We must pray for their souls my friend.
@taylorrowe2002 I've read the Bible through several times and that includes the book of James. If you believe that grace and salvation comes through Jesus Christ, why do you all focus so much on his mother? In fact, I hear more about Mary from the Catholics than I ever do about Jesus. Y'all have him tacked up on that cross as if he never came down and was resurrected. I could go on but what is the point? You are "pissed off" by complete ignorance and lies of the protestant? Well, they learned well from their mother!
@taylorrowe2002 First of all, pal, all of this dialogue is not necessary. It does not erase the dogma in the Catholic Church surrounding Mary, nor does it erase the prayers to Mary through the use of the rosary. Secondly, Jesus did establish ONE church that is APOSTOLIC, not Apostate. Matthew 16:18 is the Catholic "go to" passage to try to assert dominance but there is NOTHING in there that anointed Peter as Pope. The Church was first established in Jerusalem with Jesus as the JEWISH Rabbi and his 12 disciples which were also JEWISH. Thirdly, you are not the authority on who is led by the Holy Spirit when reading the Scriptures. I ignore a lot of Catholic babbling for the simple reason that this is what it is, babble.
As for your mass: you all put Christ to public shame over and over again...and Jesus is NOT your priests' call boy! He does not answer to them, they are to answer to HIM.
In ALL the Scripture, the Catholic Church is not mentioned except in a couple verses in Revelation where you are described with infallible accuracy: Revelation 17:4-5 .. Have a nice day though.
@taylorrowe2002 No. No I am not because I have researched into your church doctrines and dogmas. I may need to repent of some things, but that is not among them. I will not "turn back" to an apostate church that I was never involved with in the first place nor ever will be involved with.
@taylorrowe2002 I see you are a proficient liar. That's okay, I am going to lay this out for you according to the Scriptures . There is no other name by which man is saved but that of Jesus (Acts 4:12) . He alone is our "mediator" between God and man (1 Tim. 2:5). The rosary is "loosely" (and I use that word strongly) based on the gospel according to Luke. I do not need to debunk your false miracles.....they stand alone. John 6:54. #transubstantiation= the priests are using Jesus as a "call boy". Remember, at the time of the last supper, Jesus had not yet shed his blood. You need to read further to keep things in their context.....[John 6:63 ] "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." Just like Nicodemus, you fail to understand things that are spiritual and lean on your flesh for understanding. I have not left Christ because I do not agree with your literal translation of what occurred at the last supper. I take communion.
I not even going into all the lying signs and wonders that surround the Catholic Church...its a waste of time. In regard to Mary, you prove yourselves liars on a continual basis through your actions...(those speak louder than words). See, you condemn yourselves with your own words... earlier you said, "we ask Mary to intercede for us TO BRING US CLOSER TO HER SON." Prayer is a form of worship... And you admitted using the rosary which is a prayer to her. Also, I never said that Mary was "higher" than any other human beings"...YOU DID. Jesus gave Mary to John to look after her....not to tell the world that she is our mother. As a woman, I can look to Mary as an example of how to carry myself as a "woman of God", but in Luke 1:46, we hear her say: "Then Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord, 47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!" If Mary was without original sin, she has no need to proclaim need of a savior. And to say that she remained a virgin is to completely ignore human biology and anatomy. Joseph and Mary had children AFTER the birth of Christ, and this is proven in the Scriptures....but Catholics ignore this because it disrupts your dogmas surrounding her. Dogmas that are completely unfounded in the Scriptures.
You can call me whatever you please....doesn't matter. I've read the true bloody history of the Catholic Church. Many reformers were outright murdered by the Catholic Church....you all had a bounty on Luther as well.
You said: "...all early Christian’s believed exactly what the Catholic Church teaches today." That is yet another profound lie. Many of your doctrines and dogmas have come about loooooooooooooooooong after the early church. They did not fiddle with Rosary beads, they did not pray to Mary, they did not believe in purgatory.... I could go on. Your remarks are trademark of one brainwashed into Catholicism.
For your information, those reformers are no more right than any of you at this point.
I do not need to go through them or the papacy to have a relationship with my Savior, Jesus Christ. I do not need to sit in your pew and play "church".
Bishops don't "slap" confirmation students on the cheek.... I can imagine that Mike probably got slapped, though. Wouldn't blame the bishop.
As a Catholic I can’t wait to listen to this! :)
Just right off the bat I can say we aren’t Pelagians. He didn’t directly call us that, but it was implied.
@@savedbygrace8337 I did and I really appreciate his love for our Lord and his heart for dialogue. I can’t say that he has convinced me. I’d have to say that all of his objections have solid Catholic answers. I will continue to listen to his videos though as they continue to pop up in my feed because I am always open to hearing someone out on what they believe. :)
One warning I’d have is that he likes to tell anecdotes about interactions he has had with Catholic priests. It’s almost like an inverse appeal to authority argument where he discusses how he has stumped them on questions about the Bible. They are interesting stories, but just because one priest didn’t have an answer to his particular question doesn’t mean that there isn’t an answer. I see videos where Catholics stump Protestants. I have seen videos where Trinitarian Protestants use analogies of the Trinity that are heretical. This doesn’t disprove their theology, it just means that they don’t have a strong grasp on a particular subject. The Catholic Church has been around a long time, it has answers to these questions if you look.
Please keep me and my family in your prayers and I will pray for you all as well.

There are solid answers to all of those verses. I am not going to hash out the same debates happening in the comment sections all over FB.

I understand where you are coming from because I struggled through these in my conversion. I actually didn’t want to become Catholic. I was fairly anti-Catholic. It was the Holy Spirit that guided me into the church. I have never felt more peace with God than I do in Catholicism. It has the love of Mother Teresa and intellectual curiosity of Thomas Aquinas. The devotions are beautiful and a wonderful way to grow more in love with Christ daily.

Mike Gendron is misrepresenting Catholicism.
Lie #1
Mike says that the Catholic Church teaches a works based salvation. Let’s see if that’s true.
Council of Trent
Canon 1.
If anyone says that man can be justified before God by his own works, whether done by his own natural powers or through the teaching of the law, without divine grace through Jesus Christ, let him be anathema.
Council of Trent
Canon 7.
We are said to be justified by faith because faith is the beginning of human salvation, the foundation and root of all justification, without which it is impossible to please God and to come to the fellowship of His sons; we are said to be justified gratuitously because none of those things that precede justification, whether faith or works, merit the grace of justification. For, if by grace, it is not now by works, otherwise, as the Apostle says, grace is no more grace.
Um, this doesn’t sound like a works based salvation, so yeah, Mr. Gendron is straight up lying to people, because he has read this if that’s even true. It sounds like Catholics believe 100% that Christs death on the cross was more than sufficient.
Lie #2
Mr. Gendron states that there was two streams of Christianity running side by side from the beginning. 1 true Church, and 1 Apostate Church.
Throughout the New Testament, we see 1 Church. What we do see, are the heretical sect called the Gnostics pop up. In the early centuries, there was the true Church, and there were heretical sects that popped up and went away. There wasn’t two streams of Christianity, there were the Church Fathers, who belonged to the Catholic Church, and there were the heretical sects, who were not considered Christian, so what Mr. Gendron is saying is biblically and historically false. If there was such a thing then maybe you can name 3 of the leaders of this true Church after biblical times. Tell me who they were and show me their writings.
Lie #3
Catholics do not keep the Mosaic law. This is what Paul is talking about when he speaks of works of the law. The Jews held to the Mosaic law, Christian’s do not. The only denomination that I know of that keeps the law are the SDA’s.
Jesus is the one mediator between God and man, but there are thousands of intercessors between Christ and man.
Mary is an intercessor between Christ and man, just like we are for each other.
Mary’s title of mediatrix arises from her cooperation in the Incarnation and in the Redemption of mankind. Through her “yes” (Lk 1:38), she became the Theotokos (God-bearer), and, as the “New Eve,” she is “the Mother of all living.”
Irenaeus (A.D. 120-200) wrote, “As by a virgin the human race had been bound to death, by a virgin it is saved, the balance being preserved, a virgin’s disobedience by a virgin’s obedience” (Against Heresies, 3, 22, 19). Eve made the Fall possible, but Adam effected it; Mary made our Redemption possible (by consenting to bring the Savior into the world), but Jesus effected it.
God permitted the Redemption of mankind to depend on the free-will decision of a human being. Whether or not we would have a mediator was dependent on Mary’s “yes.” Had there been no “yes” from Mary, there would have been no mediator. Thus the graces that come through Jesus may be said to come to us, in a secondary way, via Mary-not as the origin of the graces, but as a conduit. The Catholic Church always has taught that Jesus Christ alone redeemed mankind (neither Mary nor any other creature had the power to do so), and ultimately only through him are salvation and grace obtained.
So once again, Mr. Gendron, who claims to know all Catholic teaching, is lying,
I’m going to stop here and listen to more of this ridiculous video. I’ll start a new comment.
I am Catholic. Love being Catholic. Will never stop being a Catholic - Jesus is my lord and my savior and these people are like Saul thinking they are doing the work of God by their concealed hatred towards Catholics.
I pray they will become more like Paul one day.
Sorry, but you have that all wrong. Christians do NOT hate Catholics they strongly disagree with the CC and its lies!
I am not Catholic never have been and never will be Catholic. I believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God and I have surrendered my life to Jesus. You would call me a protestant. Show me where I have gone wrong with my belief in Christ.
You can’t have it both ways. You can’t serve God and mammon.
The Catholicism is a counterfeit church. Pray you come to repentance and true faith.

Hellencw, God bless you. Unfortunately many uneducated Sauls are out there casting judgement & demonizing others and still call themselves Christians. That sure is a shame!

@@hamidrabiipour9707 I have been to countless masses, I am a Preacher of God's word, I study scriptures not just read them. I would never become Catholic. Catholicism is full of deceitful lies and anyone who reads with understanding the Bible will see these deception of the CC.
What you will not recognize is that there are a great many Catholics who have left the CC and become Christian.
I’m a Catholic and there is only one Jesus. Never in my life have I heard a Catholic Church speak again any religion, don’t judge.
Try reading John 7:24 tells us, "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."
We are to judge what people and religions say and the judge we use id God's word not ours.
Funny how you just made a judgment call.
So you were a Catholic for 35 years Mike? Well I was an atheist for about 6 years Mike.
Which Jesus do I worship?
I worship Yesua ben Joseph AKA Jesus of Nazareth. A Human Being in all sense. A person that had a loving Mother by the name of Mary and a loving step- Father named Joseph.
A person that had great loving parents. A person who at the age of about 30 the Holy Spirit of God entered his body and He became God's Son. A person who was baptized in the river by a cousin named John. A person who climbed a mountain with some friends and was transfigured before them. He became the Son, the Father and the Holy Spirit. You see Mike, you have to believe in Spirits, in order to believe in Jesus as also being God Almighty.
Nowadays I partake of His Blood and His Body and his Spirit is right there beside me because He said "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one cometh to the Father except through Me!"
Mike please stop persecuting your fellow believers in Jesus. The Protestant preacher told me that I was going to Hell. The Catholic Priest told me that God loves me just as I love God.
God is Love. My wife loved me and I loved her. Likewise God loves me and I love God.
"Lead me not into temptation and deliver me from evil" Amen.
Your Jesus is not the Jesus of the Bible when you say, " A person who at the age of about 30 the Holy Spirit of God entered his body and He became God's Son." Jesus was around before the formation of the world.
Mike does not persecute people only a false religion called the CC.
@@stever4181You have a very shallow knowledge of the almighty God, the creator of ALL things. Yes, God even created you!

You need to read concerning the baptism of Jesus by "John The Baptist" This is when the Holy Spirit entered the physical earthly body of Jesus. Yes indeed He was a special person.
We Catholics have a proverb always proven true in reality about one’s width of reading, depth of study, and height of understanding of the Bible and where this leads to: “Weak Catholics become Evangelicals; Strong Evangelicals become Catholics.” Mike Gendron was obviously a weak Catholic! You Evangelicals who follow him evangelizing Catholics, I invite you to read, study, and understand the Bible ever more fully. (Emphasis on the "fully," meaning completely from Genesis to Revelation and its biblical theology, not just the isolated clobber texts you are taught about and trained to throw at us Catholics!) We Catholics pray that Mike becomes a strong Evangelical and are happy to welcome you and him home to the original, true and full Christian church, founded by Jesus himself, the Catholic Church.

@@AnneofAvonlea do you mean like the Snake Handlers or the Calvinists or perhaps Mormons? 🤔
@@AnneofAvonlea
The Catholic Church (as well as the Orthodox churches) and protestantism are both grounded in the "traditons of men". Its the question of which men had authority to rightly establish traditions which is to be resolved: the Apostles, or the self-appointed "reformers".
The Apostles have explicit authority from Jesus Christ Himself "to bind and to loose", the "reformers" had no such thing.
The reformers and all that followed them on down to Mr. Gendron reject the Apostles and their traditions, for traditions that are more to their liking. One way or another, you bind yourself to traditions. It is unavoidable.
@@andrewrolwes6034 No. No men have the right to establish traditions without putting scripture, the Word of God, as THE authority first. Because ALL men are fallible. The RCC says that scripture and tradition have equal authority but that’s false. So easy to rebut their traditions and arguments with scripture over and over. The RCC has based their beliefs on traditions of fallible men throughout history, especially those you call the “church fathers.” Ironically both your church fathers and “infallible” popes don’t even agree with each other a lot of the time.
The early church was apostolic, not Catholic. So no, Catholics don’t own the church or the truth. God has given us His Word, not Catholics. And the early church of Christ and the apostles like Paul warned us about those who would be among the church who would start preaching another Jesus. THOSE are the men who over the years brought in heretical teachings into Christ’s church such as the Eucharist (works-based righteousness), Mary being sinless, and infant baptism among many others.
The reformers attempted to bring the church back into line with SCRIPTURE. As is Mike. Nowhere does scripture say Mary was sinless. In fact, the opposite can be proven when she called Jesus her Savior. Or when it said Theresa are none righteous . Not one. And there are many scriptures regarding the once for all blood sacrifice of Jesus atoning for our sins, ALL our sins, as we are made perfect forever through his sacrifice, rather than the weekly atonement Catholics practice. It’s blasphemous, heretical all of the above to say we need the Eucharist because that says Christ wasn’t enough. You rob Him of His glory in our salvation. And priests calling themselves “alter cristus”??? 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ Blasphemy. Pure blasphemy.
You really have to ask yourself: are you worshipping the Jesus of the Bible or the RCC?
Hallelujah and Amen
Every
Which Jesus do Catholic worship and Trust? the same Jesus who founded their Church. The same Jesus who said "You are Peter and on this rock I will buid my Church. That Jesus. The Jesus whom the Catholic Church has preached for two thousand years. The Jesus you only came to know 500 years ago. No wonder you misunderstand him and mistinterpret his teaching. You thing you know him but you clearly do not. Otherwise you would not always condemn the doctrines of the Church he founded.
We Catholics have a proverb always proven true in reality about one’s width of reading, depth of study, and height of understanding of the Bible and where this leads to: “Weak Catholics become Evangelicals; Strong Evangelicals become Catholics.” Mike Gendron was obviously a weak Catholic! You Evangelicals who follow him evangelizing Catholics, I invite you to read, study, and understand the Bible ever more fully. (Emphasis on the "fully," meaning completely from Genesis to Revelation and its biblical theology, not just the isolated clobber texts you are taught about and trained to throw at us Catholics!) We Catholics pray that Mike becomes a strong Evangelical and are happy to welcome you and him home to the original, true and full Christian church, founded by Jesus himself, the Catholic Church.
Right on. You hit the target.@@learnfind-f7c
Glad Mike has not shut down comments on this video also which he has done since the you tube video "Debate: Catholic vs Protestant Salvation vesves Justification Tim Staples vs Mike Gendron " was released start at 8 minutes (to skip the long introduction) and as a Christian it will be an hour well spent ... Tim (ex Baptist) sets out clearly the Catholic position and refutes everything Mike says !! Mike just repeats what he said earlier and what the catholic church has been teaching for 2000 years " we can only be saved by Jesus Christ ....... " {at 38 minutes} as he could not respond to the scripture correction from Tim ) Then we find Mike was unable to stay after the break !! This is why he never debates live with Catholic apologists since !!
The error and strength of Mike Grifton, the grift, will continue to force no comments. It's happening to many protestant posters on TH-cam. Ligonier ministry as an exampe

Dear bro, it's the same thing with seventh day Adventist church, they bring the heavenly sanctuary cleansing just like Catholic's purgatory denying Hebrews 9:11on.
As a Catholic, I would say that my Jesus is Biblical Jesus, He died for ALL, His death atoned for sins of ALL, for the WORLD He died ( Jn 1:29 ), because His Father SO loved the world ( Jn 3:16 ), NOT Jesus that ONLY died for the elects or Jesus who atoned for the sins of the elects, SUCH JESUS IS DEFICIENT OF LOVE AND MERCY, sorry but we worship different Jesus ! May the true God open the heart and eyes of Mike and his followers, God bless.
I'm reading through the book of Matthew right now. It goes against the Catholic Church. The whole New Testament is against Catholicism.
Bible is a Catholic Book. Study Church History too.Moreover, Bible is only written Word of God.Buble clearly accords that everything Jesus said were not written. Depending only on the written portion of scripture is therefore incomplete..
"The whole New Testament is against Catholicism."
The Whole New Testament, which books belong in it, were declared, decided, by the late 4th c Catholic Church: 27 writings, no more, no less, out of 300+ early Christian writings. You use ... our book, tacitly trusting in the authority of the Catholic Church to have decided for you.
Us Catholics worship the Jesus that died on the cross, and the Jesus that commanded us to eat His Body and drink His Blood....but you protestants walked away from His command at john6:66
Do you not realise that Jesus said to believe in him and be saved with no mention of eating him? Why did the 12 disciples not chow down on Jesus in John 6?
@@stever4181
Because He had not yet instructed them on how it was to be accomplished. This would happen later, at the Last Supper: "THIS is my body", "THIS is my blood."
@@andrewrolwes6034 My question still remains, Why did the Disciples not chow down on Jesus at the Last supper?
Just what is his Body and blood? Bread and wine. it is symbolic. The real presence of Christ is him living in you where you surrender your life to him. You can not get that from a wafer that lasts seconds in your mouth.
@@stever4181
What then did He mean when He said in John 6 "If you do not eat of my flesh and drink of my blood, you have no life in you", and in Luke 22/Matthew 26 when He said "THIS is my body....THIS is my blood...". What did St. Paul mean when he said in 1 Cor 10 "Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?"
The Apostolic Tradition (and this is true for ALL of the churches that were established by the Apostles, see the list in my other response) says that the Apostles taught that the bread and wine becomes the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.
It is the Reformed tradition alone that rejects all of this.
@@andrewrolwes6034 You: "What then did He mean when He said..."
Me: The downfall of Catholics is scriptures. You pay little attention to it and always take passages out of context as you have done here.
This is a long conversation between Jesus and the Jews and disciples, (Not the twelve) I do not like writing essays as people will not read them so I will trust you to go back and read John 6 with a few questions.
Jesus feeds the 5000, the disciples leave in a boat and Jesus follows by walking on the water. Why did Jesus do this? What impact did it have on the 12?
Who came after Jesus and what did they want? This sets the tone of the conversation.
How many times did Jesus say to believe in him? While you're there how many times did Jesus say in the Bible to believe in him?
Pay close attention to v 41 where the Jews (Ruling Council) arguing. v42 The Jews try to discredit Jesus Jesus reprimands them in v 43-51
V52 The Jews argue among themselves
All of this builds up to v53 where Jesus must have been fed up with them. Jesus does not change what he has said all along it is still about a belief and now he spells it out as a total belief.
V60 Hard teaching, This was against Levitical law to eat a human and to drink blood. Jesus was under this law and cannot nor would not change it. Act 15:29 also mentions this pagan ritual.
Notice then in v67 he asked the 12 if they wanted to leave and their response was No because they *BELIEVE* in Jesus. John 6 is a lesson in belief!
I will order those resources, thank you. 💜❄️
The Gospels came from the Catholic Church. Jesus Christ established the Catholic Church. I thank Jesus every day for guiding me to his church -- the Catholic Church.
The first “ church” was called The Way Acts 19:9
We all want to be the first church . It’s our human nature . But really it was the Messianic believers and the gentile believers who were first . The Catholic Church has a later date when it came to be .
I like Mark 9:38-41 also . This is a beautiful verse 💞🙏🏻
@@Nancie6290 there is a first church that is still here today if not NOTHING matters…
History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved it by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
Unless you can specifically tell me when you claim that the Catholic Church "has a later date when it came to be" you have a serious problem.
The Catholic religion is the religion of the Catholic Church-i.e., that group of churches IN COMMUNION WITH THE POPE. If a group isn’t in communion with the pope, it isn’t part of the Catholic Church.
The earliest document we have in which “Catholic” is used to label the Church that Jesus Christ established is found in a letter from the Apostolic Father St. Ignatius, ordained Bishop of Antioch, (a direct disciple of St. John the Apostle), who wrote around A.D. 107, while being taken to Rome for execution, quote: “WHEREVER THE BISHOP APPEARS, THERE LET THE PEOPLE BE; AS WHEREVER JESUS CHRIST IS, THERE IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.” Undoubtedly, this term CATHOLIC was already familiar before it was used by St. Ignatius.
The word catholic comes from the Greek word ‘catholicus’ which means ‘universal’ because it is the only Church that is worldwide, following Jesus' command to “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age” (Matt. 28:19-20).
The term "Catholic" used in both the APOSTLES CREED, first, (believed to have been written by the 12 Apostles) and the NICENE CREED adopted by the Magisterium at the Council of Nicaea (A.D. 325), primarily defined orthodox Christian belief in the Trinity to confront the Arian heresy, is reference to the same One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church that existed since the time of Christ. Both creeds are modeled on the baptismal profession of faith that we still have today in the Catholic Church at baptisms.
If Judas had an apostolic successor (Acts 1:12-20), how much more important was it that Peter, the leader of the apostles, have one? Thus, a new Pope has been elected each time a previous one passed. Today, Pope Francis is the 267th successor since St. Peter.
Jesus prayed for unity among His followers (John 17:21) and PROMISED that HIS CHURCH WOULD EXIST UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD, (Mat. 16:18); undoubtedly, beyond the Protestant Revolution, and STILL EXISTS TODAY. Protestants are, without fault of their own, calling Jesus a liar by not accepting that fact; thus, they mock everything that His One Universal Church is and does. To mock the Catholic Church is to mock Christ.
Common sense alone should tell you why JESUS ESTABLISHED a ONE TRUE UNIVERSAL CHURCH; just look at the 45,000 different Protestant denominations/churches that currently exist WORLDWIDE, each having their own preferred interpretations and beliefs. Which denomination do you belong to?
So, who are the real corrupt heretics leading people astray? I urge you to read what the Didache and Early Church Fathers say about the Mass and Eucharist, starting in 90 AD: www.therealpresence.org/eucharst/father/fathers.htm
@@frankvw4819 Just where in the Bible do we see where Jesus establishes the Catholic Church?
Jesus PRAYED for UNITY AMONG HIS FOLLOWERS (John 17:21) and PROMISED that HIS CHURCH WOULD EXIST UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD, (Mat. 16:18); undoubtedly, BEYOND the Protestant Revolt, and STILL EXISTS TODAY UNIVERSALLY..
The earliest document we have in which “Catholic” is used to label Christ’s Church is found in a letter from the APOSTOLIC FATHER ST. IGNATIUS,, ordained BISHOP of ANTIOCH, a DIRECT DISCIPLE of ST. JOHN the Apostle, who wrote around A.D. 107, while being taken to Rome for execution, quote: “WHEREVER THE BISHOP APPEARS, THERE LET THE PEOPLE BE; AS WHEREVER JESUS CHRIST IS, THERE IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.”
Scripture tells us in (1 Tim 3:15) that “THE CHURCH IS THE PILLAR AND FOUNDATION OF THE TRUTH”. Jesus established His One True Church giving HER AUTHORITY, starting with the Apostles, (also under the guidance of the Holy Spirit) to MAINTAIN UNITY, to ORDAIN His ministers and successors (Priests and Bishops), to PRESERVE the DEPOSIT of FAITH and PREVENT ERROR, to TEACH His TRUTH, to INTERPRET Holy Scripture, and to DISTRIBUTE HIS GRACE by way of the Seven Sacraments, including the Holy Eucharist in the Mass, THE PRIMARY MEANS CHRIST SHOWED and commanded HIS APOSTLES at the FIRST MASS, (the Last Supper), HOW WE ARE TO WORSHIP GOD and HAVE COMMUNION WITH HIM because of His great love for us: (Luke 22:19) in Greek -“Touto poieite eis tan eman anamnesin.” Translated: “Do This in memorial offering or memorial sacrifice of Me.
St. John Henry Newman, the great 19th century English churchman, scholar and convert to Catholicism, famously once said, “To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.”
The Catholic Church had existed for over 350 years without a finalized Bible. Until the Bible was available to all Christians the Church taught by Oral Tradition, by word of mouth. It was SACRED ORAL TRADITION that made possible compilation of the Bible. This proves that unwritten SACRED ORAL TRADITION IS JUST AS VALID A SOURCE OF REVELATION AS THE BIBLE. The Bible cannot stand on its own because it DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL OF GODS REVELATION.
It wasn't until the year 382 that the Magisterium at the Council of Rome, during the reign of Pope Damasus-I, affirmed the canon of scripture, just as the Church has it today: 46 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament.
The biblical canon was reaffirmed by the regional councils of Hippo (393) and Carthage (397), and then definitively reaffirmed by the ecumenical Council of Florence in 1442.Finally, the ecumenical Council of Trent solemnly defined this same canon in 1546, after it came under attack by the first Protestant leaders, including Martin Luther, who removed 7 books and altered some words to reflect his “new ideals” of Christianity.
And, it wasn’t until around 1455 when the First Bibles were even available in printed form; thus, most people didn’t have direct access to it even till then.
Jesus didn't write the Bible. Jesus didn't leave any writings. Jesus didn't instruct anyone to write. Jesus only taught with his words and directed His chosen Apostles and Disciples to teach the same. This fits a pattern of thinking that is really at the heart of the New-Covenant promise of the Holy Spirit into all Truth. Jesus endowed them with His Spirit and Authority, sending them out to do as He had done, under full protection from error.
As the Church grew, they, in turn, handed on to newly-ordained leaders everything that Jesus had said and done. They usually handed this teaching down verbally, commonly known as Oral/Sacred Tradition -[(Corinthians 11:2) “I PRAISE YOU BECAUSE YOU REMEMBER ME IN EVERYTHING AND HOLD FAST TO THE TRADITIONS, JUST AS I HANDED THEM ON TO YOU”]; but, also sometimes in writing, known as Sacred Scripture. These sacred writings were collected and compiled by the Catholic Church.
Where in the Bible does it say ‘the bible alone’, or ‘scripture alone’ is all you need to attain eternal life? If Scripture makes no such claim for itself, then the doctrine of ‘sola scriptura’ is made up; it is self-contradictory, and this undermines a central pillar of Protestantism.
the Bible is a difficult book to understand. There has to be an authoritative interpretation or else you're obviously going to have a bunch of different churches that all disagree on difficult passages.
Jesus wanted his people to be one, but the fruit of ‘sola scriptura’ does just the opposite; it causes disunity.

Who says so? Did God give you authority to decide for Him and to speak for Him? If so, I will be the first to believe all that you say. First of all, like so many wrongful accusations and comments that Protestants say about the Catholic Church, Catholics DO NOT "worship the Blessed Virgin Mary". We truly worship and adore God alone, for he is our Creator and
Just as the Holy Spirit guided those who wrote the words in Holy Scripture, preventing them from error, so too was the Holy Spirit promised by Jesus to guide St. Peter and his successors in directing Christ's Church regarding MATTERS of FAITH and MORALS: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 16:18-19)
BECAUSE CHRIST KNEW THAT THERE MUST BE ONE OVERAL LEADER or VISIBLE HEAD REPRESENTING HIS CHURCH, as a VISIBLE STAND-IN FOR HIMSELF, ANY ONE WHO ridicules and DENIES THE PAPACY HAS MADE HIMSELF HIS OWN POPE or gives himself that very same role.
The Pastor position for the Eternal Church that Christ instituted began with His choosing of Saint Peter, (once Simon, son of John).

Of course not. They did. It's through Jesus. If you, as a sinner think you can work for your salvation, you're prideful. We are created for good works, after we are saved, And it is God who created the works we ought to perform, not to be saved. Ephesians 2:10. We do good works in Christ, thanks to Christ who saved us, not for us to be saved, through our effort. Any work needed for salvation was done by Christ alone, that's why he cried out "It is finished". Any work needed for salvation was finished by Christ. Please stop being so prideful in your own righteousness.

23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
24 And the doors had two LEAVES apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door.

You are there just to judge and condemn catholics. The Jesus you talk about is not the Jesus I know. You deny so much of what Jesus said.
He does not condemn no one but speak the truth. If you are catholic you better find the truth
What year did the catholic church start and what year did your group start and did Jesus say about the gates of hell winning against the church.
The Catholic Church started with Jesus; that's a fact. Since Christ said that "The Gates of Hell shall not prevail against it" that same Church should exist today, and it does. It survived beyond any attack you can imagine, even from Protestants.
The answer is that there is no date for the Catholic church. Simply because Jesus didn't start the Catholic church. The Catholic church started the Catholic church. Catholicism is a false religion with a false priesthood and a false papacy. There is no such thing as a Catholic priesthood. That is confirmed by none other than Peter in his epistles. Peter says nothing about a Catholic priesthood. He did say that believers are are priests. In fact he says you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. Rather surprising that the supposed first pope says nothing about a Catholic priesthood. In fact, he contradicts many Catholic doctrines. He also says nothing about praying to Mary, the rosary. There is no record of him ever presiding over a mass. There is nothing Catholic about Peter. He says nothing about Mary either. Strang for the first pope, don't you think?
A CLARIFICATION of THE HIGHEST FORM WORSHIP and SACRIFICE
in SPIRIT and in TRUTH
(A.) In HEBREWS 13:9-15 you’ll find these words: “DO NOT BE LED ASTRAY BY DIVERSE AND STRANGE TEACHINGS, FOR IT IS WELL THAT THE HEART BE STRENGTHENED BY GRACE, NOT BY FOODS, WHICH HAVE NOT BENEFITED THEIR ADHERENTS." This letter was written to address those Christians who were tempted to fall back into Judaism, to fall back into attending the sacrifices of the bulls and the goats and lambs at the TEMPLE in Jerusalem, the author of Hebrews enjoins them to STAY WITH the NEW COVENANT, a great source of grace, and not to go back to the old sacrifices precisely because in the Eucharist they have the fulfillment of all the sacrifices of the Old Testament.
What kind of foods is St. Paul talking about? He is not talking about the Eucharist at this point. He’s talking about the sacrifices in the temple, many of which Christians don’t always know that were eaten; they would offer bread, they would offer wine, they would offer the flesh of the lamb; and, they would not just offer to God, they would eat it, they were foods and drinks associated with the temple.
(B.). And then look at HEBREWS, verse 10: WE HAVE AN ALTAR FROM WHICH THOSE WHO SERVE THE TENT HAVE NO RIGHT TO EAT."
What “altar” is Paul talking about here? IT IS THE ALTAR OF THE EUCHARIST-! What he’s saying here is that we Christians have an altar from which the priests of the temple don’t have a right to eat because they’re NOT PART OF THE NEW COVENANT. But, what that means is if the Eucharist is being received from an altar, then guess what it is? IT IS A SACRIFICE; IT'S NOT JUST A MEAL! It’s a Sacrifice and a Meal, just as the Passover once was in the Old Covenant.
And Paul actually goes on to say that explicitly in the following verses: (HEBREWS 11) “FOR THE BODIES OF THOSE ANIMALS WHOSE BLOOD IS BROUGHT INTO THE SANCTUARY BY THE HIGH PRIEST AS A SACRIFICE FOR SIN ARE BURNED OUTSIDE THE CAMP. So, Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people by his own blood. For we have no lasting city but we seek the city which is to come; so, therefore, through him LET US CONTINUALLY OFFER UP A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE TO GOD, that is, THE FRUIT OF LIPS THAT ACKNOWLEDGE HIS NAME."
Taken in context then, what is this “sacrifice of praise”? Well, it’s both offering hymns of praise, prayers, and thanksgiving of the early Christians; but, BUT IS ALSO THE SACRIFICIAL BANQUET OF THE CHRISTIAN ALTER OF THE EUCHARIST.
(C.). Excerpt from “Is the Mass a Sacrifice?” by Jason Evert: Jesus is eternally a priest, (the Eternal High Priest); and, a priest’s very nature is to offer sacrifice. In the case of Christ, the eternal sacrifice that He offers is himself. This is why he appears in the book of Revelation AS A LAMB, standing as though he had been slain (REVELATION5:6). He appears in heaven in the state of a victim not because he still needs to suffer but because FOR ALL ETERNITY HE RE-PRESENTS HIMSELF TO GOD APPEALING TO THE WORK OF THE CROSS, interceding for us (ROMANS 8:34), AND BRINGING THE GRACES OF CALVARY TO US.
The risen Christ, AS ONE PERFECT HEAVENLY OFFERING becomes present on the altar and offers himself to God as a living sacrifice. Like the Mass, Christ’s words at the Last Supper are words of sacrifice, “This is my body . . . this is my blood . . . given up for you.” So, the Mass is not repeating the murder of Jesus, but is taking part in what never ends: the offering of Christ to the Father for our sake (HEBREWS 7:25, 9:24). After all, if Calvary didn’t get the job done, then the Mass won’t help. IT IS PRECISELY BECAUSE THE DEATH OF CHRIST WAS SUFFICIENT that the MASS IS CELEBRATED. IT DOES NOT ADD OR TAKE AWAY FROM THE WORK OF CHRIST - IT IS THE WORK OF CHRIST.
The Mass is the fulfillment of the Malachi Prophecy and also revealed in the DIDACHE:
“ASSEMBLE ON THE LORD’S DAY, AND BREAK BREAD AND OFFER THE EUCHARIST; BUT FIRST MAKE CONFESSION OF YOUR FAULTS, SO THAT YOUR SACRIFICE MAY BE A PURE ONE. ANYONE WHO HAS A DIFFERENCE WITH HIS FELLOW IS NOT TO TAKE PART WITH YOU UNTIL HE HAS BEEN RECONCILED, SO AS TO AVOID ANY PROFANATION OF YOUR SACRIFICE. [Matt. 5:23-24]. For THIS is THE OFFERING of WHICH the LORD HAS SAID, ‘EVERYWHERE AND ALWAYS BRING ME A SACRIFICE THAT IS UNDEFILED, FOR I AM A GREAT KING, SAYS THE LORD, AND MY NAME IS THE WONDER OF NATIONS’[Mal. 1:11, 14]” (Didache 14 [A.D. 70]).
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS ITS LINEAGE: All Priests, Bishops and Popes can be traced back the twelve Apostles and St. Peter. REMEMBER, the Catholic Church existed before the books and letters of the new testament were canonized by that same Church in the year . Brief readings of the Apostolic Fathers and the DIDACHE, (“Doctrine of the Twelve Apostles”; see: dividetheword.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/the-didache.pdf ), will reaffirm that the Early Church was thoroughly Catholic, as today. It's structure and hierarchy are the same today as then.
If Judas had an apostolic successor (Acts 1:12-20), how much more important was it that Peter, the leader of the apostles, have one? Thus, a new Pope has been elected each time a previous one passed. Today, Pope Francis is the 266th successor since St. Peter.

You are ignorant. of history and how the Church grew. It took time for the Church to grow. It didn't happen over night. When did your church start? I BET THE CATHOLIC CHURCH EXISTED BEFORE YOUR CHURCH. What is the name of your church? Who compiled your Bible? I bet your Bible has 7 books missing; since the first Bible was compiled by the Catholic Church it had 73 Books..
A Christian cannot have an absolute assurance of which books belong in the Bible WITHOUT ACCEPTING THE AUTHORITY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH because it was the Catholic Church who compiled all the books it contains. The Church Christ established had existed for over 350 years without a finalized Bible. It wasn't until the year 382 that the Magisterium at the Council of Rome, during the reign of Pope Damasus-I, that we got the canon of scripture, JUST AS THE CHURCH HAS IT TODAY: 46 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament. This proves that unwritten SACRED ORAL TRADITION IS JUST AS VALID A SOURCE OF REVELATION AS THE BIBLE. It was ORAL TRADITION that led to WRITTEN TRADITION, the Bible.
The Bible had to be written and transferred by hand before the printing press came about in the 15th century.
The biblical canon was reaffirmed by the regional councils of Hippo (393) and Carthage (397), and then definitively reaffirmed by the ecumenical Council of Florence in 1442.Finally, the ecumenical Council of Trent solemnly defined this same canon in 1546, after it came under attack by the first Protestant leaders, including Martin Luther, (a self-designated Pope?).
@@rbnmnt3341
@@frankvw4819 I will try to answer the most important things of your comment. You're right, God is supposed to be worshipped in spirit and in truth. Something the church first do. Jesus was the one who said that the words he had just spoken in John 6, were spirit, and THEY gave life. He said the flesh profits NOTHING. According to you comments you have been brainwashed very well. You covered all Catholic talking points .well done. Mich of it is just mumble jumble.
So you seem to like Hebrews, so we'll stay there a bit. Let's talk about what it says about the "eucharist", the eternal sacrifice that you claim. I do like one comment you made. That is strengthened by grace. A word seldom used by Catholics. Now Hebrews 7: 27, talking about the High Priest. "Who needeth NOT DAILY, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did ONCE, when He offered up himself .
Now let's go to Hebrews 9. I will add this one as a bonus to you. 9-12 says, "For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more." So a quick question. Why go to purgatory? And then there is 1 John 3:1-3. 3 being the key verse. It says, " "and every man that has this hope in him PURIFIETH HIMSELF, even as he is pure." Purgatory is a contradiction to this verse. We can purify ourselves by believing these three scriptures. Again, why go to purgatory. Jesus doesn't remember ours sins. Why does the church? Hebrews 9:12 reads, "neither by the blood of goats or lambs, but by his own blood he entered in ONCE into the HOLY PLACE, having obtained ETERNAL REDEMPTION for us." Your church teaches that the eucharist is for the forgiveness of sins, not only for the living but the dead.
Now Hebrews 10. You can read Hebrews 10:1 on your own. 10: 10-12, "by the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ ONCE for all. V. 11. And every priest standeth there ministering and offering often times the same sacrifices which CAN NEVER TAKE AWAY SINS." V12, But THIS Man, after he had offered ONE sacrifice for sins FOR EVER, sat down at the right hand of the Father." V.14, For by ONE OFFERING he hath perfected FOR EVER them that are sanctified." V.17-18, and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. V.18, Now where there is remission of these is, THERE IS NO MORE OFFERING FOR SIN."
Ok, si I'll keep in mind that the church has given itself sole authority to interpret scripture, but what do all these scriptures mean? Hat doesn't the church understand about the meaning of ONCE, ONE, FOR EVER?
Now let me take you John 6. I have read how your church interprets these scriptures. What I don't find in John is the following. Where in scripture does it say that only the priest can conduct the mass? Where does John 6 say the the priest has the power to bring Christ down to the altar? Where does it say that Jesus bows his head in humble obedience to the commands of the priest? Let me ask. If this is really Jesus in the flesh, what does the priest do with the leftover flesh and blood? Does he return Jesus to heaven? What about the blood? And if this is Jesus, why are the wafers made in a factory by nuns?Then where does John 6 say that the priest has more power that the virgin Mary? This one is really interesting. Interesting when you consider that God gave Mary no special powers. Then your church teaches that you must "eat the flesh and drink the blood so that you can have life. Right? So why does the church not allow you to drink the blood? Does your church have a better idea than what Jesus said in John 6? You say make confession so that your sacrifice may be a pure one. "your sacrifice"? I thought Jesus was the sacrifice? How is Jesus a victim in all this? The victim/s are you guys for being so blasphemous. Why is this the only scripture that your church interprets literally? So this is my response to your eucharist.
You're right, the church does have its own priests, etc. your first pope, Peter, mentions NOTHING about a Catholic priesthood. He says believers are priests. A chosen generation and a royal priesthood. So can you clear that up? Doesn't sound like the words of a pope. Can you tell me what canonized means? Have you ever read what Peter said about this canonizing stuff means? I have read scripture and can't find where it says the RCC had anything to do with God's word.
Now about your succession story. Like all other church claims, they are false. Apparently you haven't read scripture very much. The book of Acts has requirements for apostles. The most important of which is this. That the selected apostle had to have seen the risen Christ. Scripture also tells us that the last to have seen the risen Christ was Paul. Did the current pope or going back, did they see the risen Christ? I don't think so.
In closing, I will say that I know your church says that everything today is the same as back then. I will tell you with all confidence that that is a lie. There are some traditions that your church has done away with. I'll give you one. Did you know that one of your church traditions was priestly suicide? Well it was. The church believed it was a faster way to be with God. Then some genius figured out that they were losing too many priests. So if these traditions were handed down and Christ approved it, why did they do away with it? I know. Your church has never cared what God says in his word. John 6 being a perfect example. Your eucharist is NOTHING like John 6.
Again Mike, Baptism is on (John 3:5) And confessing your sins to a priest is on (John 20:23) (1John 1:9) and the catholic church does not teach salvation thru the Transubstantiation the catholic church teachs salvation thru Repentance and baptism

Although I left the Catholic church some 30+ years ago, and also felt convicted 'away' from it upon reading the Bible for the first time. Despite that, I did truly believe then. In contrast to Gendron's referring to his confirmation as a literal "facial slap", the only striking I DID feel was within me, my heart, my spirit. And so, in spite of the confusion and my almost coming round full circle, then halfway back once, maybe now twice... I can say that was real, pure, and dare I say, holy.
How can you say the CC is holy when it was built on an unholy man, Peter. God/Jesus never built anything Holy on one of their creations. Think about it.

@@ginao7803 In understanding scriptures we need to pay close attention to the language it was written in. Greek for the NT and Hebrew for the OT.
Whenever we come across the word 'church' in the NT it is always the same Greek word. Which is Ekklesia. There is only one meaning to this word and that is People taken out of the world and into God's kingdom. The result is his church, the Body of Christ. Jesus's church are his believers. It never refers to any institution such as the CC.
You: "As far as Peter being "the rock", I am praying for guidance, and that the Holy Spirit leads me gently."
Read this in the Greek
Peter=Petros= a small movable rock
Rock=petra=an immovable natural rock usually used in building a foundation.

2) Look at what I said, The Holy of Holy was not built on a man but God.
3) Correct it always refers to Christ's believers never an Institution. This means that you and I belong to Jesus's church which is not the CC.

Kristi Burke is a great youtuber that deconstructs Christianity although she wasn't a catholic. Many atheists can and will put this Mike Gendron to shame.

REASONS WHY THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IS THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH
1. You can read about it in the New
Testament. (MATTHEW 16:18;
ROMANS 16:16; ACTS 4:12)
2. It has no creed but the Bible, binds
no name on members but Christ’s.
(ACTS 11:26; l PETER 4:16)
3. Its acts of worship are patterned
after New Testament examples.
(JOHN 4:24; ACTS 20:7;
I CORINTHIANS 16:1-2; EPHESIANS
5:19; COLOSSIANS 3:16)
4. It teaches that UNITY can be
achieved on all doctrinal disputed
questions. (JOHN 17:21;
I CORINTHIANS 1:10; EPHESIANS
4:4-6)
5. Its future: Eternal Glory with Christ.
(I THESSALONIANS 4:17;
MATTHEW 7:14)
YOU CAN’T BE SAVED ANY OTHER WAY
There’s just one way to the pearly gate,
to the crown of life and the friends who wait.
Tis that old cross road and the way called strait,
there’s just one way to the pearly gate.
“There’s Only One Provider”
We are saved by grace through faith (Eph 2:8-9). After this, God enables us to do good works (Eph 10). In addition, Christ himself says that just believing in Him is not enough. In John 15, He warns his followers that those who do not remain in him will be cut off from God. This means that a person can be a “true believer,” and yet if he does not abide in Him he will be cast forth, wither, and then suffer eternal death. These are the teachings of the Catholic Church.
The teaching of the CC is Faith + works.
This is not what Jesus was talking about. Faith PRODUCES works like a seed produces a tree. You can not tack on your silly works that is meaningless.

@@stever4181 who said we are without God????? Jesus established his church 2000 years ago abd it was not protestant.

1. protestants use Luther;s altered bible (the protestant bible)
2. They follow Luther's made up doctrine of "scripture alone"
3. They follow Luther's made up doctrine of :faith alone"
4. They join in Luther's attacks against the catholic church.
@@auntbertha2077 Typical Catholic who twists people's words just as you do scriptures. I did not say 'Catholics are without God'. I said, *"without God you would not have the Bible"*. Are you going to dispute this?
It was not Roman Catholic either.

Yes brother we Catholics are called to love our Protestant brothers and this is what they give us in return. It's sad and heartbreaking
These morons imitate their misguided Calvinist leaders like MacArthur, Sproul, Piper........ When Jesus said " I spit you out of my mouth" he was speaking about them.
Which bible do you read?????????
Made a sacrilegious act going into that confessional in order to mock the sacrament, looking for attention.
my wife is hardline catholic, raised in it, LOVES it but she does not have Christ in her. She lives for a weekly sacrifice, poops out Jesus and does it again. She won't listen to me. To her i am a evil protestant and it IS KILLING my marriage. I only recently became justified and born again 6 months ago
Poops out Jesus. I never saw it that way. Sooo funny but not really.
Sorry for your hardships. Sometimes all we can do is pray for peace of mind. Rest in Jesus as the world crumbles around us.
Rejoice as you are saved now. I am so happy for you that God lead you to Jesus. The real Jesus
Jesus said you must eat my flesh. Five thousand walked away from him when he said that. And it was over this very statement that Judas decided to betray our Lord. You are just as faithless as Judas and tge Five Thousand.

This man is full of hypocrisy. He doesn’t know about biblical exegesis, doesn’t know about history of the Church. He is trying to present his own understanding and interpretation of scriptures as the truth.
Those guys believe & teach that every believer is the arbiter of truth.
Catholic church is one true church build by Jesus Christ
No. The Lord Jesus Christ's ONE TRUE CHURCH submits to Him as the Head of the church, the Almighty, the Sovereign One, the All-knowing God, the only One who is PERFECT and therefore His Word is also perfect and SUFFICIENT for all the members of His one true church to fulfill what He calls us to be and do. The Roman Catholic Church that was formed in the 4th century doesn't find God's Word and Christ's FINISHED REDEMPTIVE WORK sufficient, and therefore teaches a false gospel (faith + WORKS). Lots of the Roman Catholic beliefs, teachings, and practices are unbiblical because Roman Catholicism itself is a mix of Christianity and paganism. No wonder its fruit in the form of idolatry is so very obvious and rampant.
@@EPHESIANS_5..11__Lady So is the Protestant teaching that we're saved by faith MINUS doing good works? The only place in the whole Bible where the words "faith" and "alone" are together is in James 2:24, where it clearly tells us we are NOT saved by faith alone!
@@EPHESIANS_5..11__Lady Also, can you tell me any early Church father who taught faith "alone" theology? You won't find one because this man-made theology didn't exist before the 1500s!
@@LeicesterTradCatholic I don't follow any fallible church fathers; as a true Christian, I follow the Lord Jesus Christ--the Head of the ONE TRUE CHURCH (definitely not the RCC).

@@EPHESIANS_5..11__Lady Romans 1:17 does not teach we're saved by faith alone!! It says: "the just man liveth by faith". To "live by faith" means to do the will of God and live in obedience to His commands. And you are not following Jesus because you reject the one and only Church He established. Jesus established one Church in 33 AD, not 30,000 denominations that have contradictory doctrines! Please read Romans 2, the chapter Protestants like to ignore.
Which scriptures do you used? Is it'd the same scriptures that compiled by catholics? So keep your mouth shut, you are not wise, because u lack understanding
If you are Catholic then it is you who lacks understanding. You only follow like lost sheep to the slaughter.

Another sanctimonious Protestant. Y’all say all I gots to do is say I is saved. Alleluia.
Pretty sad to this pastor, the Catholics complied the Bible, and your asking them which Jesus they follow, in another vedieo this pastor says, discussing regarding the Eucharist, that what he meant was Word to Peter, but in John chapter, it states in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God,... And the word was made Flesh and dwelt amongst us.
If you believe in the Holy Spirit you will understand what he is saying.
Isaiah 2:8
“Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:”
Matthew 6:7
“But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.”
Romans 6:10
“For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.”
Starting to get the picture ??
The Bible says our Jewish Messiah, Yeshua Jesus, gave the gospel to His Jewish disciples and apostles, and they compiled the canon of the Bible, as well as wrote the New Testament under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. After all, salvation was to the Jew first then to the Gentiles. I do not see in my Bible that Catholics compiled the Bible, I read it was the Jewish disciples of our Jewish Messiah, who protected the ancient scrolls throughout thousands of years. See Romans 1:16-17.
I do not take men's words to heart unless their words are confirmed by the Bible (see Acts 17:11)
I hope this helps clarify for you. Blessings to you, in our Lord Jesus, be with you as you search the Scriptures for answers.
@@lcmcmorris8379 Thank you. I worship the same Messiah, Jesus the Saviour. Jesus bless you.

We Catholics have a proverb always proven true in reality about one’s width of reading, depth of study, and height of understanding of the Bible and where this leads to: “Weak Catholics become Evangelicals; Strong Evangelicals become Catholics.” Mike Gendron was obviously a weak Catholic! You Evangelicals who follow him evangelizing Catholics, I invite you to read, study, and understand the Bible ever more fully. (Emphasis on the "fully," meaning completely from Genesis to Revelation and its biblical theology, not just the isolated clobber texts you are taught about and trained to throw at us Catholics!) We Catholics pray that Mike becomes a strong Evangelical and are happy to welcome you and him home to the original, true and full Christian church, founded by Jesus himself, the Catholic Church.
Does it mean that the true believers are perfect and they never commit sins? What do they do when they fall into sin?
I had a protestant street preacher this past weekend tell me that he no longer sins. And he said he was infallible.
@@TruthHasSpoken The Bible talks about discernment and that we are to test every spirit 1 John 4:1. If a person were to say he is without sin and infallible, that goes directly against 1 John 4:1. I would not believe anything he had to say and would walk away. Matthew 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’…
I will say to you you judge unjustly by calling this man a Protestant since that term means anyone who is not Catholic. It is a derogatory term at best and paints a black smear on the most ardent believers in Christ. I am sure you know many Catholic that go to mass just because it is what they always have done and have little to no belief in Jesus as the Christ. I know I have meant many such Catholics. Would you call them a protestant as well? Because those who do not believe in Jesus as the Son of God and the Messiah are rebellious against God and not part of God. They may be part of the CC but can you now see the difference?
@@stever4181 "I will say to you you judge unjustly by calling this man a Protestant since that term means anyone who is not Catholic"
No Steve. The Orthodox are not protestant, neither are they not Catholic.
"It is a derogatory term at best"
Says who?? That's not my experience. I have friends, who love and worship God as they know best, who refer to themselves as protestants. Protestant denominations will even, proudly, affix the name "protestant" into the very denomination name.
th-cam.com/channels/eArSDcYtarSRjfc9D4p2MQ.html
Others quote proudly speak to how old they are as a PROTESTANT denomination.
_As the oldest Protestant Church in the city of Los Angeles, we celebrate the many diverse religious voices in our city, even as we seek to embody the spirit of Jesus by loving our neighbor as ourselves._ (First Congregational Church of Los Angeles website)
"I am sure you know many Catholic that go to mass just because it is what they always have done and have little to no belief in Jesus as the Christ"
When they go to Mass, they believe in the Resurrected Christ, and receive him in the Eucharist, a means for receiving his Grace. Then there are those Catholics who seldom attend mass, who don't participate in the life of the Church. I know few of these personally but they exist. It's these poorly catechized Catholics who leave for some flavor of protestantism. They are seeds along the path, on rocky grown, or are having weeds choking them.
"Would you call them a protestant as well?"
No. If you ask them what Church they belong to, they would all say "I am Catholic" regardless whether they attend regularly or not.
What do we do when we realize that we have sinned? Confess it to God in prayer and repent. Falling into sin? No...one does not fall into it... they run headlong.
@@krisgangwer3796 yes, we can confess our iniquities to God in our prayers..if that's the solution,. what's the relevance of Jesus saying to Peter.."And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed also in heaven " - Mt 16:13-19
I always say, _"If you are a Catholic, and you make it into heaven, it's not because you were an ideal Catholic, but that you made a better Christian than you did a Catholic. Likewise, if you profess to be a Christian, and end up in damnation, is because you would have been a better Catholic, than you were as a Christian."_ ...but I doubt that there will be any devout Catholics in the kingdom of heaven per today's version of Catholicism, because God's Word and the Catholic Catechism are incompatible to one another.

Once saved always saved ? Really ? Listen to the words of of St. Paul " Work out your salvation in trembling and fear." (2 Phil. 2: 13) " There must be no premature judging." ( 1 COR. 4: 3-5 )"The man who thinks he is saved must be careful that he does not fall."( 1 COR. 10: 12-13). " " For we must be content to hope that we shall be saved - our salvation is not in sight, we should not have to be hoping for it if we were, but as i say, we must hope to be saved since we are not saved yet, it is something we must wait for with patience." (8 ROMANS: 24-25). Where in Scripture is it written : "Once saved always saved?
Ephesians 1:4
“According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:”
John 10:28 "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand."
If you don't believe in "once saved always saved", you're saying, God will somehow let Satan snach them away from Him, which is ridiculous. That's why catholics worship false Jesus and don't understand what happens after you are born again and saved, because they're not.
@@sansebastiansj , Satan can't snatch a person away from God, but a person can walk away from God of his own free will.

Show me from the scripture just one example where that hapens. I'll wait. And second of all you just showed me you don't understand what happens to a person the momemt they're saved. Saved people filled with the Holy Spirit might stumble but they will never want to leave God. What a terrible idea. That's why catholic church is so wrong.
@@sansebastiansj, Adam and Eve
There is only one Jesus that Catholics worship and trust.The one who established his Church (Body of Christ) on the foundation of the apostles that possesses the fullness of the means of salvation. Christ died so that our sins could be forgiven, and we once more had the right to enter heaven. Baptism erases the stain of original sin and any sins committed. After Baptism, all sins committed have to be absolved and forgiven.Christ gave his apostles the authority to forgive sins in his name. "Whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven. Whose sins you retain, they are retained" This is Scriptural.
The Mass is a celebration of the memorial of Christ's death and resurrection, which he told us to do at the Last Supper
Just where do we see that Jesus established the CC? Be careful if you use Matthew 16:18
@@stever4181Jesus established the Church & the Catholic Church is the most authentic church that started 2K years ago, following & continuing the teachings of Jesus. Anything besides that is certainly an off-shoot, not necessarily demonic but clearly man-made. You stay away from Calvinists & snake handlers. Peace
@@hamidrabiipour9707 You are claiming Jesus started the CC by assumption. Is this the way of God to make assumptions and call it truth? No, Matthew spelled out Jesus's church as Ekklesia which mean those believers in Jesus as Messiah the Son of God. There is no mention of the CC at all in scriptures. Jesus's church are his believers and he is the head of that church not some sinful pope
@@stever4181I know, I know, the subject is a bit difficult to comprehend, but I'm sure a person as smart as yourself will get it with a little bit of reflection. And of-course you can always study what the church fathers had to say about various faith related issues.
@@hamidrabiipour9707 Then again I could ignore what the Catholic Church Fathers had to say and study what the writers of the Bible have to say, After all, there are the ones who had the first-hand information, not the church fathers. Even if a person were to listen to these church fathers you must compare what they say against the Bible. Anyone who blindly follows them is a fool.
Jesus TOLD us to keep the law, namely the 10 commandments. We're keeping the law because HE told us to.
“36. Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38. This is the first and great commandment. 39. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. 41. (Mat 22:36-41, KJV)
You think you keep the law......not really. The law justifies nobody. If it did, then Jesus would not have had to die for our sins. In saying you are keeping the law, we know you are therefore a liar.
If you broke one you broke them all. Don't be ridiculous. None of us have successfully kept the law.
@@beadoll8025 That's what reconciliation is for. Not being perfect is not an excuse to abdicate all standards of behavior.
Repentence is faith. Repenting of your sins is not a biblical phrase. Lordship salvation is heresy
I think some Catholics LOVE Jesus, but there is something wrong about their doctrines. They have married all sorts of religions and pagan practices together. Idol worship and praying to saints (necromancy) is not biblical. Also, the Bible/Jesus says do not call anyone your father but the father in heaven.

That doesn’t save you. Bible man.
It's obvious this pastor has no clue what he's talking about in relation to the Catholic faith. He obviously never paid attention or bothered to study the Catholic faith for those 35 years he claims he was Catholic. Anybody can through out scripture verses like he does
Very accurate! I know all he speaks of, learned it at school and family! He really doesn’t know the faith he left, yet sets himself up to condemn that he doesn’t know! Catholics believe in all he says to a large degree. Yet he rejects what Jesus himself says. For him there is no Eucharist, but John 6 could not be clearer. This is my body!
Christianity is the logical progression from Judaism, as Jesus came not to change the law but to perfect it!
His understanding of the priesthood is so flawed. It’s almost laughable we’re it not so seriously sad.
Remember, Jesus gave the keys to the Kingdom to a man, Peter, to continue the teaching that he gave to his followers. Redemption is final, but acceptance of this is necessary. This message has to be got out there, again in human form and terms. No priest stands in for Christ! But they stand as the one who shows the way.
The sin of man is forgiven if we ask. Yes we do sin again and again and are in need of redemption that was won again and again! The Mass is the re presentation of the one and only Act of redemption.
Lear what Catholics really know, not what this preacher tells you. You may be surprised
Jesus started Catholic church!
Forever Catholic, not belonging to this ministry by man; Mike Grendon
Forever Christian not belonging or listening to the lies of the Catholic Church
The greatest takeaway from Mike is the alarming lack of strong biblical teaching and to understand the Gospel and what Jesus did for us in the New Testament. Mike is "spot on".
Your ignorance of the Catholic faith and its teachings is breathtaking! Christ is the centre of the Catholic faith and his work of atonement is the basis for salvation. This is what's taught and practices. Good luck with your 40,000 and counting denominations, by all means practice your love of Jesus but leave things you know so little about alone.
God bless to you all. 🙏
@Michael McGrath: Amen. Protestantism is the surrender of objective truth in favor of relativism.
I agree. May God lead them to the truth of the catholic faith
Which faith has magic wafers, multiple mediators, (each with its own statue/idol/image, for easier mediation.)
Even though these statues have eyes that can't see, and ears that can't hear? (not something that has ever stopped a pagan from his favourite act.)
Which faith teaches its followers they have to go to Paedophiles, drunkards, and homosexuals, disguised as pagan priests to confess their sins to?
Need a clue?
Not protestant! 🤣
You Catholics always pretend Christians are ignorant of your cults beliefs, even though we know them better than any Catholic because we actually study Catholic teaching for ourselves and don't just go by hearsay like you pagans!
If you had any clue what your doctrines actually teach, by reading about what you're told to believe, instead of just staring at statues all day, you might have something to add to the debate; but i've never met a Catholic who could even name the books of the Bible, never mind accurately repeat what Rome teaches. (and i belong to a very large Roman Catholic family, myself..(but am now saved from that cult. Thank you Jesus!)
I have been studying this Satanic Cult, i was unwillingly born into, for decades now, and i know more about "Roman Catholicism than you ever will. But i have no doubt that you will still use that lame, pathetic argument on me, because it's the only back answer you have to soothe your demonically tortured mind.
("You don't know what we believe!!!) 😆🤣 Right, and the Catholic Catechism, encyclopedia, Priests and apologists teachings are all just lies, and that's not really what you false christians believe???
Okay, then you tell us what Roman Catholicism teaches, smart boy, as you evidently know more than any Catholic that ever lived and is burning in hell knew, as we speak!
Or are you just as full of bull as your Pagan, devil serving masters?
