My dad was Catholic and my mom was the quintessential non-denominational Christian. Their marriage was the 2nd for them both. The Catholic church didn't recognize their marriage; this was in the mid 50s. My dad wouldn't let my mom take us to any church but the Catholic church, so my mom became our Bible teacher. I loved God from a young age and became a born again Christian at 14. Years later, my dad was dying from cancer and I read the passage about being born again to him from his Bible. I told him the importance, then prayed for him later. The next time I went to visit my parents he called me over, patting the couch next to where he was laying. He said, "I prayed that prayer." I was ecstatic! Both of my parents have moved to Heaven and I'm so glad I will see them again one day. I love your videos!
My Godmother is Catholic and when she took me to her church she showed me how much she loved God and how much she loved Jesus and she just like me had read The King James Version of The Bible and she was amazing for it.
lol praying a prayer doesn’t get you to heaven. Faith without works is dead. You don’t just spout Romans 10:9.
We are judged by many things at the end, so we must endure until then, no OSAS.
Remember Romans 10:9 is contextual theology, back in Rome circa 60 ad if you confessed, you may be stoned, beaten, tortured, condemned. So that was a true sign of faith to go as far as to say it in public. It was a type of “work” faith through action so to speak.
In 2022 if you utter Christ is Lord, nobody cares. Heaven isn’t about saying the magic spell….lol
@@Amplified435 Are you a Catholic?
@@monamuller8969 Is that your cue as a loving Protestant to treat me disrespectfully? Yes I am.
@@Amplified435 No my friend. :) Jesus says: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. (Mark 12:31) And. "Treat people the same way you want them to treat you. (Luke 6:31). I just wanted to know where you are coming from. How do you believe you get into heaven. You don't need to answer if you don't want to. :)
Please pray for me. I am just as the young woman in this video; a lying, fornicating, adulterous thief. I want these chains broken. I want to truly believe Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. I want to be saved. I want to be completely changed and to be obedient to His Word. Please, please pray for me. Thank you.
🙏🏾. Pray, believe, read the Bible, go to a church that teaches the Bible completely. Watch this again and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal His truth, Himself.
All you need to do is ask for salvation. It's as simple as that. Nothing more,nothing less. You (and I) owe a debt to God because we are sinners. We can never pay that debt but Christ paid it completely. Salvation is a gift,something you did nothing to gain. His work on the Cross paid that debt forever...it can never be lost or destroyed. ❤Accept Him & you're saved.
which is why being born again is so important. John 3:3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.
So that we received the gift of the Holy Spirit
and It is the Holy Spirit in our life who enables our actions to be see as righteousness in the sight of God which a person receives who is being baptized by immersion as per Acts 2:38
Which is why baptism by immersion as per Acts 2:38 is so important
He that overcome all sin in their life. shall have the right to the Tree of Life.
We are to overcome all sin in your life with the help of the Holy Spirit.
We are to Be perfect in Christ. which is a moment by moment and on a day by day process of obedience to the will of God out of Love, with the help of the Holy Spirit in our life.
Once a person has repented of their sins, at that moment because they have been forgiven of sin at that moment they are perfect in Christ and as long as they do not sin again they are still perfect in Christ.
and if for some reason we do sin again then we need to ask for forgiveness again. And at the moment we are perfect in Christ.
The objective in being forgiven is to use that forgiveness to overcome all sin in your life by giving up whatever sin or sins it is in your life that you are asking to be forgiven of.
Salvation is a two-step process.
Being justified by what Jesus Christ did for us by accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior is the first step in salvation
and then after being justified by what Jesus Christ did for us because you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior then the second step in salvation is sanctification and sanctification is a moment by moment and a day by day process of obedience to the will of God out of love all of the days of your life after accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior.
Remember 1 Cor 9:24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.
which is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Becoming perfect in Christ. Is that Possible. Answer. Yes it is.
it is possible to be perfect in Christ on a moment by moment and on a day by day basis with the help of the Holy Spirit. once a person has repented of their sins at that moment because they have been forgiven of sin, at that moment they are perfect in Christ and as long as they do not sin again they are still perfect in Christ.
and if for some reason we do sin again then we need to ask for forgiveness and again we are perfect in Christ.
The objective in being forgiven is to use that forgiveness to overcome all sin in your life.
Also God wants us to be literal about the sins or sin that we are asking to be forgiven of.
And part of asking for forgiveness is, that we will choose to give up in our lives whatever sin or sins it is that we are asking to be forgiven of.
and God's grace covers the sins that we have committed that we are not aware of that we have committed.
So yes it is possible on a moment by moment and on a day by day basis with the help of the Holy Spirit to be perfect in Christ.
Rom 8:29,30 For those God foreknew (who works out all things) he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
Beloved: God would not ask us to do something if it was not possible to do.
With God all things are possible to those who believe.
Be Holy just as He has called you to be holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." 1 Peter 1:15-16
It is possible to be perfect in Christ on a moment by moment and on a day by day basis with the help of God the Holy Spirit by confessing our sin or sins and by choosing not to sin.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, Jesus is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
The moment a person is forgiven of what ever sin or sins it is that they have asked to be forgiven of. At that moment they are perfect in Christ
God also wants us to be specific about what we are asking to be forgiven of.
And if you choose to sin again after being forgiven then you are to ask Jesus for forgiveness again.
and Part of asking for forgiveness also means that you will choose to give up in your life whatever sin it is that you are asking to be forgiven of.
otherwise a person is taking advantage of God's grace.
With God in our lives, all things are possible.
The moment a person is forgiven of whatever sin it is that they have asked to be forgiven of. At that moment they are perfect in Christ because Christ is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins
And as long as you do not sin again, you will remain perfect in Christ because you have not sinned again.
But if you do sin thereafter then you are ask to Jesus to forgive you again who is faithful and just to do so and at that moment again you are perfect in Christ again.
But Part of asking for forgiveness also means that you will choose to give up in your life whatever sin it is that you are asking to be forgiven of. Otherwise a person is taking advantage of God's grace.
Keeping trying to overcome all sin in your life and never give up trying is my advice
Complete surrender to the will of God by doing His will is a requirement to salvation.
How to totally surrender to God.
Constantly, throughout the day, continue to ask God what He wants you to do and then wait and listen to what He says through the Holy Spirit and He will let you know what he wants you to do.
And if you get done with what He asked you to do then ask God again what it is that He wants you to do and then wait and listen to what He says and He will let you know through the Holy Spirit what he wants you to do next.
Repeat this process over and over again throughout the day. always, everyday and forever. For sin is no longer the master of a person who has been born again as per Acts 2:38 Baptism by immersion
Do it now
Accept him as lord and savior.
SURRENDER! 😢
I have read the Bible at least 3 time's All the way through, and I am still learning more each time I read it, laugh at me All you want, I want to learn about the 1 who gave me life. I have lost my friend's because I want to learn about the Bible, but it's all good.
God's always more important.. he will take care of you
I feel the same way Tommy. I am on year 4. First time was 2019. In 2020 after Covid hit I made it all the way through the OT but got off track and never completed the whole NT that year. I started over and completed the whole Bible in 2021 and started again in 2022. I like going cover to cover but someday I may try the chronological way just for fun…lol. This year the Lord really opened up my eyes in Leviticus. It’s my 4th time to read that book but it really hit me hard this year. How grateful I am for the one time (It is finished) substitutionary atonement Jesus made for me that I do not have to offer a goat or a bull every time I sin. How grateful I am that I can go boldly before the throne of grace…and ask for help in my time if need. I’m grateful that I finally understand that being a Christian doesn’t make me perfect just forgiven…I can repent and receive forgiveness when I sin. I can know that I have eternal life b/c I’m not relying on my own goodness (none are good but God) but fully trusting in Jesus’ name. Reading the Bible will always be on my “to do” list. I love learning about God and that is how He speaks to us. I’ve made new friends at Church…they’re on the same page. ☺️
It is sad you lost friends, Tommy, but you did not lose your faith. Every time I read the Bible, I learn something new. Keep learning as much as you can
when you lose all your friends that's when you know you have crossed from death to life !!!!! JESUS IS LORD
I’m 16 and I am on my third as well I’m reading 20 chapters a day and really loving the word of God
Every time I hear Ray speak the word about Jesus paying the fine for our sins, I cry.
Your fierce BELIEVER. HalleluYah Amen. Glory be to God 🙏🏿🔥❤️
Me too!
It's the Truth and called The Good News for those who realize they are nothing but sinners and helpless to Save themselves. It places Jesus above all humanity, as is meant to be. Only He gets the worship and praise. Most of us are guilty of putting mere men/women on Pedestals (Famous Religious personalities or Politicians esp., but family members as well). When we start seeing them as sinners like ourselves, we trust only Jesus and God's Word, which is Truth.
@@julianapatrick7451 question for you Juliana, How many times did the Pharisees say the exact same thing to Jesus? What was His answer?
I appreciate your way of speaking to people about salvation. You’re not talking at them, you’re talking to them. Thank you for that.
Hey Ray, have you ever thought about what your answer would be to Jesus on judgement day when he asks you why you worked so hard at trying to bring down his Mother, the Mother of God? Why you were teaching the opposite of what the Apostles and their disciples taught the first Christians? Why you tried so hard to bring the Children of God out of the Church founded by Jesus in 33AD, the Universal Catholic Church, and let them be as lost sheep..moving from one of the 40,000 and more Protestant man made churches to another in the hope of finding the truth that they had already been born into? What would your answer be to Jesus on that day?
There is a wonderful new religion with over 100 million practitioners world wide which expounds upon the teachings of Christ and explains many of the mysteries of creation.

@@olivetaelizabeth God existed before Mary so she's not the mother of God. She's the mother of the human vessel God would reside in. Huge difference. And no, Jesus is not the vessel - Jesus existed in the beginning and created all. The HUMAN FORM Jesus inhabited while here for 30 years is what Mary gave birth to. Catholics deny that by pretending Jesus gave birth to God, as if God did not exist before that.
And Mary herself admitted she needed a savior.
_"And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour."_ Luke 1:46-47
Follow God / Jesus Christ, not a religion of "DO this or that and you (might) be saved from coming judgment for a lifetime of sin". Follow God / Jesus Christ's truth of "it's is DONE on the cross" not "May the Lord accept the sacrifice" by a priest's hands.
_"When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."_ John 19:30
@@ForumLight Jesus is not the human vessel God resides in, He is God, that’s a heresy. That’s like saying Jesus is a man, except that God inhabited Him. Jesus is One Person, and is both fully man and fully God, two natures in One Person, that’s called the Mystery of the Hypostatic Union. That’s a very ancient heresy, that Jesus is two persons, a human and another divine. And actually, people used Mother of God as a rebuttal against this heresy. Your birth a Person, not a Nature. Mary helped Conceive, She Bore, and Birthed, the Person of Christ, who is both fully Man and God. So, when you say Mary just birthed the human aspect of Jesus or say Mary is the Mother of Jesus not the Mother of God, you are effectively doing what the ancient heretics did. By saying Mary only birthed the human side of Jesus, you effectively split Jesus into two Persons, as He is One Person with Two Natures, and that is who Mary Birthed. So, you can’t say that Mary isn’t the Mother of God, because She is the Mother of Jesus, who is God. You would be splitting Jesus into two separate people. Catholics don’t believe Mary created God, but we do believe She is the Mother of Jesus, and your the Mother of a Person, not a Nature, otherwise your separating Christ into two persons, hence, Mary is the Mother of God.
@@ForumLight Catholics believe Mary was saved by the Power of the Cross, but She was saved in a different way than us. She was saved by God keeping Her from sin, instead of saving Her from sin She committed. God often saves people by keeping them from committing sin, such as when he keeps a man from having relations with Abraham’s wife in Genesis. Think of a pit, Jesus saves us by throwing a rope for us to get out of the pit, Jesus saves Mary by stopping Her from falling in. So, this verse doesn’t refute Catholic doctrine, because Catholics believe Mary was and is, saved. And that She has a very special role in the salvation plan as the New Eve, and such.
The most loving thing we can do as Christians, is to tell the truth!
Yeah for sure.
Peace be unto you.
John 15:13-15
King James Version
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

@@jeffforsythe9514 Here is what this scripture says...
2 Timothy 4:1-4
King James Version
4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

I was raised Catholic for 9 years, until my mom left my dad and the priest told my mom she was going to hell. I always believed in God, but I did not know who Jesus was! At 30 years old, I began to read the New Testament to prove someone wrong (what a motivation!) and found Jesus. I repented right there and became a sponge, learning about and living for Jesus. The only thing the Catholic church did for me was to help me recognize that I'm sinful. I didn't need any persuading to repent once I understood Who held the key to salvation!
@Solal We are all sinful. Jesus has brought me nothing but love and acceptance for 32 years.
Matthew 13:55 -56 You are misleading the flock here Ray, why did you skip out verse 56 "Are not his sisters all with us?"so tell us now, who are all these Sisters of Jesus? Besides the four brothers you say he has? You make a weak point against Mary by citing this verse, you are spreading rumours that Jesus had 4 brothers and countless sisters. When will you repent for this lie against Jesus and the Mother of the Word incarnate?
Ray is a word twister, he thinks he can fool people by getting a verse from the Bible and leaving the rest out, leading them to believe that Mary had other children, sure, he can fool those who do not know the Bible well but he cannot fool God. Do you know that your leader Martin Luther believed and affirmed Mary's perpetual virginity? So after 400 years why have they stopped following his teachings? Are they too busy creating new Churches because they all have different interpretations of the Bible and do not agree with one another and hence go out of the Church to form yet another Church? Is this what we are reducing ourselves to? Where is Jesus in Protestanism? I only see individuals protesting against the teachings of the Catholic Church, is this all there is to Protestanism?
Well, here is one of the reasons as to why you will not see Mary the Mother of God, the Intercessor on behalf of the World, being mentioned in the Bible as the Mother of James, Joseph, Simon and Judas: It is crystal clear that Paul is speaking about the Apostles in Galatians 1:19"But I did not see any other of the Apostles, only James the brother of the Lord". He says that he saw only James, the brother of Jesus. We know that 2 of the 12 Apostles were named James, James the son of Zebedee and James the son of Alphaeus. So if we go back to Matthew 13:55, we find that James is mentioned as a brother of Jesus as well. Both the Apostles had different Fathers. So how can Mary be the Mother of one of the Apostles? See also Luke 6:12-16 :Jesus chooses the 12 Apostles. Like it or not, Mary is the Queen of heaven and all generations shall call her blessed as in Luke 1:48.
@@olivetaelizabeth You may as well tell us that that Joseph the Carpenter is Joseph of Egypt. You are taking things out of context to create blasphemy. Mary took turtle doves to the temple for sacrifice, because she KNEW she was a sinner! And Mary's biological daughters were not named because they weren't important. Simple.
Ray, the message you preach never grows old. Every time, my heart is so full of emotion and love for Christ. Thank you.
I married a catholic and was doing the classes. I was pulled to talk the priest. He asked me all kinds of questions. I was scared. I barely could speak. By the end of the conversation he advised me that I couldn't conform to the Catholic ways of Christianity. I told him you are absolutely correct. He asked why my voice was shaking. I said I can not help to be nervous about you wanting to speak to me, I know you don't do this regularly. He said I don't have many members who actually know the Bible. YOU know what you were taught. I cant change your mind it is inbred in you. I was standing in front of a man who was saying I was unclean unholy and damned to hell. I was 17 and pregnant. I was married. The marriage was civil not in the church. I advised him that someone with higher authority says I'm not.
Bowed my head quickly got my stuff and was out of there.
The door opened to the most beautiful sunshine 🌞 I have ever seen. I said ty Father God!
Hallelujah!! 🕊
God will judge these men, who have been responsible for turning millions from the truth
Wow what a testimony. I love your story, Thank you for sharing. I grew up Catholic and so grateful to be saved. I couldn't leave that church fast enough. I always had thought I was a Christian while living my life in sin and condemnation. Christ completely shed His light on me at a true Chistian church service. I heard the gospel for the first time and fell in love with Jesus.
That come back tho 💯
Wow. What a traumatic experience. All glory and thanks to God for getting you out of there. I live in Canada and the catholic church were heavily involved in the residential schools for the native, pure evil. I have many family members still in that corrupted religion but they are very blind to leave it. The rituals they do are very dark, totally against what the Bible commands.
Unfortunately it is hard to convince the Catholic about their wrong practices. I was a Catholic and God opened my eyes and I am a born again Christian but believe me I couldn’t change my husband or my mom or anyone in my family to the right faith. God can only do it and I am praying for that 🙏
The reason Catholics leave the church is because they don’t know their faith read the Early Church Fathers and the Didache to go deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.
12 years of Catholic school here and all my family were Catholic as far back as anybody knows. Left the RC church 41 years ago and never regretted it. This Jesuit Pope only confirms all the heresies of that church. I believe the Bible, not the Pope or his blasphemous religion.
What made my family leave was i asked Jesus into my heart at 18 and i suddenly could see truth when i read the bible..the words jumped off the pages. I would not have had that heart change except i was hit by a car and was very hurt broken vertebrae etc... Jesus was there to save me. My whole family became born again even my grandmother.. God bless all in Jesus Christ the king
👑🦁❤
what is lacking in the catholic church is the word which is Jesus Christ ( john 1 :1) so none of the religious statements of the church mean a thing..also there is paganism mixed with christianity such as queen of heaven. There is severe idolatry and worship of idols prayers to the dead and even idolatry of the dead. If you see what jonathan kleck found about the catholic church you would run after you repent as i have done. I say to any catholic come out of her and turn to Jesus Christ and only Him.
He alone saves. ❤🦁👑
@@copykat6508 thats what i was saying its not about a false christianity but Jesus Christ and He is the word.
According to this blasphemous video, Mary was a sinner and Jesus was born from a sinful womb since Mary was a sinner.
what do you mean sinner?
Sinful womb?….🤔 Sounds like an old Puritanical Catholic doctrine to me!🙄
@@sandraressel2262 Jesus was born of a sinner, that's what the video is telling us.
@@Bidwellz9 that Jesus was born of a sinner, it is what is trying to say.
@@jaimevelasquez8128 Yes. Its not that crazy to think about. God does what he wants. God has always been using sinful people to do whatever his will is, like Moses and Paul are examples
As an ex catholic this is true . Read your Bible ppl .
Jesus had step brothers and brother also can mean brother in faith of God
Apostle Paul called other men father and master oh no apostle Paul didn't read Mathew that means romans shouldn't be in the bible or any of apostle Paul letters.
The Catholic church has the original 10 commandments how do i know because my Catholic Holy bible has the same 10 commandment that Moses wrote on the 2 stone tables, you know the 10 commandments that Moses wrote on the 2 stone tables guess what those 2 stone tables are graven images Moses should of smashed those 2 stone tables because it's breaking the 2nd commandment.
Jesus said to his apostles they can forgive sins in his name do know what a Catholic priest is a Catholic priest is an apostle of Jesus Christ.
Jesus said unless you drink his blood and eat his body you have no life in you (bread body of Christ wine blood of Christ aka Eucharist Jesus invented the Eucharist)
I was raised Catholic then I stopped believing God…then I met this friend at driver’s ed and after a year he shared the gospel with me and told me how Jesus died for me and that night I asked Jesus to show me if it’s true and he did and I prayed that he would enter my heart and forgive me…
You smart . Good action
The only reason people leave the Catholic Church Jesus Christ Church is because they don’t know there faith and if you leave the church of Jesus Christ there is no salvation Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus.
@@johnvitelli3862
Nowhere in Bible does it say if you leave Catholicism (so called “Jesus church”) then you won’t be saved.
EHHH!!! False.
Salvation comes by being born again. By following the law of the spirit.
By placing ones faith in Jesus for salvation.
NOT by a church building. NOT by Catholicism.
NOT by a pries
NOT by the Pope
@@johnvitelli3862
Wrong. Anyone who prioritizes what man says instead of What God says is in deep trouble. Your church told you that, the Bible says it very differently. It's false doctrine like this from the Catholic Church that is the very reason so many of us left.
@@johnle231 do you know what church gave the world the Bible? So how did anyone get saved from 33AD till 397 AD without the Bible? Jesus left a church not a book ( Bible)
I was raised Catholic and until my mother got older and started reading the Bible She explained to me the gospel of Jesus. Since her passing I have been born again. Praise Jesus holy name.
@@Edward-so6by Why would anyone need to belong to a man made church to be saved ?
God's Church is NOT a man made building or institution which the Bible clarifies in various places including in 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
1 Corinthians 3:16-17
"16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are."
Believers in God and Christ are the true Church
@@Edward-so6by You seem to have no idea what the truth is that much is obvious even when people quote the Bible and show you what the true church is you ignore it and state that "Jesus founded one, universal, (Catholic) body of believers" when the Bible mentions what the True Church is, the Believers in God and Christ
Please Show me where in the Bible (by quoting) that Christ "founded" Catholicism / the Catholic Church
And please do NOT state that Matthew 16:18 is the passage that mentions that as it does NOT do so, even tho that passage is often taken out of context by Catholics to give credence to the Catholic Church
In fact there is no where in the Bible where it mentions Christ coming to create a new religion, especially one partially made up out of Paganism
Matthew 16:18
"18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
IF you read the Bible without Catholic prejudice or any other prejudice of any kind then you would see that the passage in Matthew 16:18 states it is the Believers in Christ that is the rock that Christ will build his Church on, in fact reading Matthew 16 as a whole would be even better for you to do
You are Correct when you mention the word "Universal" for the term Catholic as that is exactly what the word Catholic means "Universal",
The Catholic religion used that term "Catholic" (aka Universal) for a Reason that you do not seem to realise, and that is they combined Christianity and Paganism together as one to create Catholicism, which is a fact that you can easily verify if you wanted to, if You did not already know
The early RCC combined Paganism and Christianity together as one and created Catholicism so they could appease the Roman people at that time as majority of them was Pagan, which is also another reason why they used the term Catholic as they did not want to be seen as Christians and upset the Pagans who they wanted to join their new religion of Catholicism
It had nothing to do with Christ founding the Church, IF it was then as the Bible mentions "evil would not prevail against it" which you should know evil has prevailed against the RCC in various ways
What term do you call the Catholic Popes and Priests ? the term "Father" ? which is going against the Bible and is of the Anti Christ due to it teaching something different than what is Biblically correct
Matthew 23:9
"9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."
Edit: I also forgot to mention that all the Catholic Church did concerning the Bible is collate the Religious texts that was already in circulation centuries before the RCC even existed, which is why certain texts is missing from the Bible, ever wonder why there is only Matthew Mark Luke and John included when there was 12 Apostles in total ?
Stating they gave the Bible is a poor excuse at trying to state the RCC is the true Church when the Bible already states what the True Church of Christ is
RCC is the mother of harlots as mentioned in Revelation 17, which the Vatican just so happens to sit on 7 mountains as mentioned also in Revelation 17
Revelation 17:9
"9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth."
@@Edward-so6by IF You want to believe the mother of harlots is the true church then you are welcome to your delusion
What I stated is Biblical and is NOT a theory of any kind
The ONLY one you are hurting by ignoring and rejecting what the Bible states is yourself
I have done my Job in stating what the Bible states (using the Bible to do so) and what the truth is if you do or do not accept what the Bible states then that is on you, you only have yourself to blame
Mark 7:7-9
"7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition."
Mark 7:7-9 says it all really for yourself
@@Edward-so6by The Bible mentions the mother of harlots IF you actually did some research starting with the Bible or even if you never did any research but knew the Bible and what it states then you would see that the RCC / Vatican is in fact the mother of harlots
Revelation 17:4-5
"4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

I will have no such thing to worry about as you seem to think I will, it is yourself that will have a very bad day on Judgement day seeing as you are NOT basing your beliefs of God and Christ and what the Bible states on facts but basing it all on what you have been taught by the mother of harlots, and following traditions of men instead of what Christ taught and the Bible mentions and what God commanded
I done my job in telling you the truth but you obviously reject it due to your "traditions" and misguided beliefs which are NOT even based on the Bible, the very thing you should be basing ALL your beliefs on NOT some man made devil orchestrated religion
@@Edward-so6by Mr.. catholic teachings are extremely false and blasphemous against the Holy God... Catholicism is completely opposite of the Bible...! Open your heart and seek the truth...!
I was raised Roman Catholic. I left when I was 15. I asked too many questions for them. I asked them why I should a priest father when the Bible clearly states call no man father before me. I asked hwy should i pray to Mary? Why are we pray to saints? Why am i asked to kiss the feet of statues, are they not idols? They would say it is ritual, I would say is it not stated in the Bible we are not to participate in in rituals. They could not answer any of my questions honestly. I left the church. I then went to many churches. I have found that most are about money. They are about getting rich off the congregation. I prayed hard for many years and felt led by God to become Ordained. I am now an Evangelical Pastor. I preach where God leads me. My church is open air. I do not get paid. More often then not i give to the homeless and that is my reward. He has brought me from the brinks of death more than once. He has led me from the gates of hell. I know without a shadow of a doubt Jesus is my Lord and Savior. No other can save me. He is the only one. I am a sinner and by God grace i am forgiven. Amen
A statue or image of a person is NOT an idol. An idol is MUCH MORE than a simple statue or image. An image only becomes an IDOL when it is worshipped (and Catholics do not Worship images).
Likewise, the act of kissing an image of someone is NOT an act of Worshipping that image; it is simply a gesture that is a physical expression of the love we have for the person depicted in the image, and NOT the image ITSELF.
I don't know where people got this idea that "to kiss an object" = "to worship an object". This is simply not true, and there is no evidence to support such a claim
Have you read the book The Great Controversy?

Let's take that apart.
1st--A statue or image of a person is NOT an idol.
FACTS: Ex 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
Which you obviously have!!!---- THAT in itself IS transgressing the law!!!
---2nd--An idol is MUCH MORE than a simple statue or image. ,
To you obviously!!
AGAIN---Ex 20:3-4
--3rd... An image only becomes an IDOL when it is worshipped (and Catholics do not Worship images).
That is NOT what God says. AGAIN Ex 20:3-4.
--4th; Likewise, the act of kissing an image of someone is NOT an act of Worshipping that image; it is simply a gesture that is a physical expression of the love we have for the person depicted in the image, and NOT the image ITSELF.

---5th----I don't know where people got this idea that "to kiss an object" = "to worship an object". This is simply not true, and there is no evidence to support such a claim.
Kissing a person is affection. Kissing an object IS showing love to THAT object!!! Not what it represents.
@@mitchellosmer1293
Unfortunately, in trying to "take apart" what I said, you made the mistake of isolating Bible verses that weren't meant to be interpreted in isolation.
A good example is Exodus 20:4 and Exodus 20:5. Exodus 20:4 condemns the MAKING of graven images while Exodus 20:5 condemns the WORSHIPPING of graven images (" you shall not bow down to them or worship them").
These two verses make up ONE single commandment. They are NOT meant to be viewed seperately.
In other words, a person is guilty of idolatry only when he MAKES a graven image AND then goes ahead to WORSHIP it. If a person MAKES a graven image WITHOUT going ahead to worship it , he has NOT committed idolatry.
There are many examples in the Bible of people who MADE graven images WITHOUT worshipping them. And in those cases, God DID NOT accuse them of idolatry. For instance, in 1 kings 10: 18 - 20, Solomon MADE graven images of lions as decoration for his throne. He DIDN'T make them for the purpose of WORSHIPPING them. The Bible never described that act as idolatry. Why ? Because those graven images were DECORATIONS or BEAUTIFYING ARTWORK; they were NOT idols.
How about the coin with the graven image of the emperor on it ? Did Jesus describe that image as an IDOL ? No. Instead, He permitted the Jews to use the coin for payment of taxes (Mark 12:12 - 17). This is because even though they MADE that graven image on the coin, they didn't make it for the purpose of WORSHIPPING it but for the purpose of using it as money for making payments.
It is quite ridiculous to describe EVERY graven image made by man as an idol, irrespective of whether or not they are being worshipped.
When you say that kissing an object is showing love to THAT object and nothing else, you are simply giving me YOUR OWN opinion, because you haven't provided any evidence that God sees the kissing of ANY object as a way of loving AND Worshipping THAT object.

-------Exodus 20:5 and “worship”
The Hebrew word for “worship” in Exodus 20:5 (the Ten Commandments) is “shachah” שָׁחָה. Take a look at what the Strong’s Enhanced Lexicon says about the word.
“172 occurrences; AV translates as “worship” 99 times, “bow” 31 times, “bow down” 18 times, “obeisance” nine times, “reverence” five times, “fall down” three times, “themselves” twice, “stoop” once, “crouch” once, and translated miscellaneously three times. 1 to bow down. 1a (Qal) to bow down. 1b (Hiphil) to depress (fig). 1c (Hithpael). 1c1 to bow down, prostrate oneself. 1c1a before superior in homage. 1c1b before God in worship. 1c1c before false gods. 1c1d before angel.”11
----Revelation 22:8-10 And I am John, who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown me these things. 9 But he said to me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!” 10 Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of prophecy in this book, because the time is near.…
----Revelation 19:10
So I fell at his feet to worship him. But he told me, "Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who rely on the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

Lord saved me when I was 16 I was raised in the catholic church. Even though I am grateful for some things I learned I've become born again and haven't looked back since.
I got saved through watching Ray preach the gospel. God is so pleased with you Ray. Never stop you helped me in an immense way come to Christ. I can't live without Jesus.
Why not be born again as a Catholic? I am. We all are (the snakes in the Church are not "Catholic" properly understood).
We have to be born again by water and by spirit. That's the sacrament of Baptism. But only living Faith is becoming of this holy gift of grace by God. Thus, you are right to put Faith first. But Faith without love is dead.
I pray you give Jesus in the Eucharist another chance. Fr. Mike Schmitz on YT has the best Bible Study "Bible in a year podcast". I hope that helps. God bless!
@@affel6559 there is no such a thing as. Being born again as Catholic. If you are Catholic it means you believe in all their teachings. So as Catholic you now down to marry breaking the second commandment and the Bible has clearly stated what would happen to the idolatrous. In the apostle's Creed you confess every time that you believe in the holy Catholic church, meaning you believe all the practices and God is going to judge you by that. The Word of God in the Bible is the only truth anything contrary is a lie and deception. That how you test the spirits behind the doctrines. You are not save by the church you belong to but by Jesus. I pray your eyes be opened to the truth.

Thank you for your concern Chara.
We pray to Mary and you do too (kind of).
You probably ask your pastor: "please pastor, pray for me".
We do the same thing with the mother of our Lord and Saviour, true God and true man Jesus Christ.
We say: "please, mother Mary, pray for us!"
So we do the same thing. And that is good, the invocation of the Saints is mentioned e. g. in Revelation 5:8.
God bless!
@@affel6559 Jesus rebuked this woman who was praising marry like you. Marry was a sinner too and needed a savior
@MarkedThat We also ask Mary to pray for us in Jesus' name. So we do the same thing.
Mary is more alive than yourself. That is because Mary is saved by Faith in Jesus Christ and has eternal life.
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Jesus is THE Mediator, the only person that can atone for our sins to God, but here are other “mediators”. God loves to use his people to do his work. Is your pastor not mediating to God when you ask for his prayers/intercession?
Mary is the best mediator, she always gently points to Christ. And Jesus is fond of those who use his mother.
@@Amplified435 Mary is not deity. You are a blind guide who needs to be born again!
@@Amplified435 God said JESUS IS THE MEDIATOR NOT MARY!!!!!!
@@bigsavv2663 Jesus is THE mediator between our sins and Gods forgiveness. But God has used mediators (his people) all throughout the Bible to spread his word. He’s humble, that’s his style. If you don’t believe in anyone mediating, you believe in none of the prophets, Moses, and you don’t believe in others praying for you. Why have others pray for you, if Jesus is the only mediator?
Oh because they pray for you to Jesus?
Yeah that’s what Mary does too and Jesus listens to her more because she abides in him and she bore him from her womb.
If you think Jesus doesn’t love and favor his mother, you are very wrong. To not venerate his mother is to disrespect him.
I was raised a Catholic and even went to their schools. I was taught many things about the Catholic doctrine. But, I have to say that even as a child of 6 years old I was having trouble with some of the teaching. When I read the Bible for myself, I had issues with some things I was taught. For instance the Bible says in Matthew not to call any man father because we have One Father in heaven. But the Catholic church calls their priests father.
The bible is very clear that their is one mediator between God and man. He is Jesus. A person can say that a priest will forgive your sins if you confess them to him but the fact is when Jesus died on the cross he made a way for us to go directly to the Father. If you look at Matthew 27:51, the veil was torn from top to bottom. Showing us that the separation between us and God was removed. You see a man cannot forgive sins only God, and a priest no matter what they say is just a man. No man can take God’s place in any form.
Same situation here!
Daniel- see my (unfortunately long) response above regarding the use of the word 'Father'. If Ray's literal interpretation was right, you couldn't call your Dad 'father', and we would have no understanding to know what a 'father' is when God is described AS our (perfect) Father! He takes it (wrongly in this case) literally-- the same Chapter would also have us NEVER use the word teacher or master-- so the words Doctor, Mister, Mrs, Father, and Teacher would all be banned from Christian use... Except Paul in the NT calls HIMSELF a Father... Jesus meant don't use titles to appear important and get the 'best seat at the table'. In terms of one mediator between God and man- you are right in the primary sense-- that person is the God/Man Jesus Christ, our Savior (see 1Tim2:5 for the Bible showing this). However, Jesus DOES use others. For example, there are two places in the Bible where God 'breathes' on something-- the first is in Genesis, when He breathes on clay to create Adam. The second is when Jesus breathes on the Apostles in John 20 and gives them the power (HIS POWER) to forgive sins: " “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained” (John 20:22-23). So our Catholic Priests aren't forgiving sins on their own (they are men like you and me)-- Jesus Christ/God is acting THROUGH them. And we certainly know that it wasn't only way back when the apostles were here that a culture was sinful and needed a LOT of forgiveness! Finally, even St Paul speaks of how God is working through the ministry-- Paul is continuing Christ's ministry of reconciliation, not "AS PAUL", but God working THROUGH Paul. Same with Priests-- God can work through them, even though they be sinners! Bible quote: Paul, “All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation” (2 Cor. 5:18). May God richly bless you and your family --- people are waiting to hear the saving Gospel :)
@@kevinzrenda8753 But what need is there for priests to forgive sins when Jesus died for ours? He told us to repent and sin no more. To go in our private rooms and pray. He called those who did what many Catholic leaders do for show hypocrites. And He never said anyone was more worthy than anyone else … negating the entire identity of the Pope! How can man exalt another and claim he is most holy on earth? That’s not for us to do. The Catholic Church messed me up so bad because the theology was wrong in my spirit. I’m not saying it’s just them. I have Christian family NOT Catholic who believe false doctrine (in my limited opinion - Word of Faith things that also confused me). I’ve prayed for guidance and am studying on my own, because I can’t get to church. It’s bringing enlightenment. I know I’m not any kind of expert. I’m a sinner like we all are, though since I was saved my life is completely different. That is Jesus. I respect your views. My parents have the same as Catholics. But for many people, that doctrine has confused our lives until we found Jesus Christ through His sacrifice. God bless you!

My suspicions grew more about Catholicism until one day, my brother invited us to a Born-again Christian church. That day, my knowledge about God expanded like boom! I learned many things from my Christian pastor, but after all of the preachings of the catholic priest, I couldn't even understand nor remember one. The Truth has set me free. I thank the Lord for the things He answered me, guiding me to the path of Life and Salvation.

Nice, you are now an expert theologist, beating out the Church Fathers and the many scholars in the early AD centuries.
And the Catholics and Orthodox would say you are cursed and bound for hell. So grateful that you found truth and life out of those false doctrines.
So you prefer the Bible that is missing 7 books and chapters from the book of David.
I’m a Catholic revert and I came to this video to learn on what my separate brethren believe of the Catholic Church. I’m not afraid of learning from others and their beliefs. Based on this video, and the various ex-Catholic comments, I can truly say that many have a negative/wrong view of the Catholic Church. I searched in other churches for the “truth”. Non-denom, Lutheran, Mormon etc but nothing resembles the Catholic Church teachings. If you dive back to history, the early church fathers, the works of the disciples it all goes back to Christ. Where as these other churches grew from “man” and man’s beliefs. I love my brothers and sisters in Christ and at least we believe in the same God. But to all my ex-Catholics/non-Catholics I urge to reconsider and actually deep dive and learn more of what the church teaches. I admit some take some devotions too far, yes not everyone is synchronized in the beliefs, and yes many don’t know how to defend our faith. However, we shouldn’t shy away from true doctrine that ultimately turns back to Christ. I highly urge everyone to watch Dr. Taylor Marshall here on TH-cam. I think at least, to be fair, if you want to NOT be Catholic at least you should really learn why you’re not and at least be OPEN to understanding what the church teaches. I mean, isn’t that what Jesus asks from us, for our hearts? Why do you think he told the Pharisee’s “what is easier: to tell a man that his sins are forgiven or to get up and walk?” Even Jesus knew that the Pharisees hearts were so closed to the belief that the son of god could forgive sins and that he could also ask a paralytic man walk. I have had negative experiences within the Catholic Church but that doesn’t mean I turn away at the truth. I learn to follow Christ and his true teaching. People fail but God never does. His truth is exactly that and we shouldn’t try to turn our backs because people fail. I have also had negative experiences with the non-denom/Protestant but that doesn’t mean they’re “bad” people. I’m a no-one and truthfully someone who has a lot yet to learn. But there’s one thing I do know- I just hope when God calls me to his glory, I hope he see’s that I did everything to learn his truth. I encourage you to do the same.
I pray, that we all come to one truth, one church as he intended. God bless, peace be with you all, and that our blessed mother intercede for everyone in the comments and the maker of the video. ✝️🌹
With respect, I have some information that challenges Catholic theology, and while I can agree with some of your statements on the need to be unified under Christ, this is a matter of major differences on essential issues, like a grace-based or works-based Gospel, one of which cannot save. I have a question: Jesus taught the Eucharist in John 6, and wasn't crucified until around John 19-20. Given the Catholic church's teaching on transubstantiation (wine turns into blood), *did the wine turn into blood at the first Eucharist (ie. Jesus' living, unsacrificed blood)?* And *how do you reconcile that with passages that prohibit drinking blood in both the Old and New Testaments (Lev **17:11**-14, Acts 15:29)?*
*"...the flesh counts for nothing..."* (John 6:63)
The Protestant position on this is that the Eucharist (we call it "Communion") Is a spiritual ceremony, which Jesus Himself said in context in John 6:63. When the disciples were expressing concern over Jesus' command to "drink His blood," He responded and told them *"the flesh counts for nothing"* and further explained that His teaching was "spirit and life" (John 6:63). *If Jesus Himself said that "the flesh counts for nothing" in context of the Eucharist, then how do you reconcile that with the Catholic teaching that you must consume literal human flesh and blood in order to be saved?* This isn't a problem in Protestant theology, but it is a problem for Catholic theology which ignores John 6:63 and contradicts Leviticus 17:11-14 and Acts 15:29.
*"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."* (Ephesians 2:8-9)
While I have reason to disagree with some of what you're teaching, I appreciate what you're trying to do and I hope this is well received. Blessings to you and yours.
I think the biggest problem I have with Catholicism is that they believe the Bible is an open Cannon of truth. Meaning not people of the Bible and doctrine can change. That is a direct quote from a priest. But I love you guys just the same. God bless you.
Dear one... the moment you ask Mary to intercede, which is praying to her, you’ve negated everything Jesus has done for us. His sacrifice means nothing because you’ve elevated Mary to His position. Jesus is the intercessor. Not Mary. She was a sinner, like everyone else. She needed Jesus to save her too. She hears nothing you say to her. And btw...according to the Bible, ALL those who have trusted &. believed in ONLY Jesus for salvation are saints. And the church consists of those same Believers. It’s not the catholic organization. You also do not need priests...the veil was torn. Jesus is the High Priest. We need no one else! Just a few facts for you to think about.
First, Catholics do not go back to the time of Christ. I've done the deep dive. I know without a doubt this is true. They didn't arrive on the scene until around 300AD. There's always been a group of born again baptized believers holding to scripture as final authority which we are to do. Different names then but ultimately named Ana Baptist and now more commonly Baptist. Baptist aren't protestant. They were never part of Rome and predates catholicism by nearly 300 years. Traced throughout every century by doctrine and distinctives. Those who hold closest to scripture. I wasn't always a Baptist but after a lot of prayer and guidance from the Holy Ghost I was left without a choice. Real history of the church is an incredible study. Eye opening.
As a Catholic,you have summarised everything very well..I hope everyone experiences the power of mass..
No Catholic Bible is missing the commandment that you shall not have any graven images. The Catholic Church strictly forbids idolatry in that same Catechism you say leaves out the 2nd commandment.

This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus.

I spent my first 36 years as a practicing Roman Catholic.. I became a believer in Jesus on the 24/10/1986 by calling on the Lord Jesus Christ to save me I’m now a disciple of the Lord Jesus while making other disciples on my journey with the Lord Jesus Christ. Both Catholics and Protestants and even Muslims all need a savior and need to call on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation and forgiveness of sins and eternal with the Lord Jesus Christ forevermore. Call on the Lord Jesus Christ now and have forgiveness and peace with God.
I grew up Catholic: baptism, first communion, and confirmation! At age 33 I started to seek God on a deeper level, I read the New Testament and I knew that I could no longer be Catholic! I was a born again Christian from that moment on! The New Testament has so many contradictions to the Catholic faith! Pray for my Grandma! She is still in Catholic bondage! In Jesus name free every soul from Catholicism, or any other religions that hinder the acceptance as the New Testament being our holy instruction of God. Jesus is the only way, don't let religion fool u!
It was the first ever establishment of Christianity to exist in the world they compiled the first official Bible and it was the only form of Christianity around until 1520 when Martin Luther and a few other people didn’t agree with a few things. These are facts please go look them up
Don’t let religion fool you well I guess the Apostle James was fooled And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue but deceiving his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation and to keep one's self unspotted from this world.

@MarkedThat so when people bow down to the Queen they are worshipping her? God had Moses make 2 9ft golden statues for the ark of the covenant is that idolatry? Quoting scripture verses Mathew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
Matthew 7:21-23
What does these verses apply to Jesus Christ Church his Holy Catholic Church?
I don't understand Jesus being the only way is Roman Catholic doctrine. In fact that started with the Catholic church, you literally wouldn't know it or even have the new testament if not for the Catholic church. So I genuinely don't understand what you're saying, it's nonsensical to me and the teachings of Roman Catholics.

I am not perfect. I am a sinner and yet, in my darkest hour of losing my children's father to a lethal decease in which I thought I also got from him, I became inconsolable and full of grief. I was in so much pain and full of fear and couldn't function at all. All I did was cry my eyes out day and night. I believe in my heart and soul that GOD came and took that away from me and gave me some peace. I woke up in peace and refreshed, got dressed and went to get my diagnosis. Good news, I and my children came out ok. I was still grieving, but not in the torment I was in. God intervene and gave me peace when I needed it the most. I will never forget that b/c as a sinner, GOD still loves me.
but have you called on the name of Jesus to save you and do you know for sure if you were to die today that you would go to heaven? You. must know and believe these truths if you have not already. Jesus loves you
I was raised a Catholic - I met a very famous man (not that matters) you would never have thought how much love he had for our Heavenly Father and his Son Jesus but whenever I called him his first question was to me - what is your favorite bible verse - he taught me so much about faith - well to this day - 40 years ago I still live my life according to acts 20:24 but now that I am getting older/wiser I have a second Psalms 91 1-16
That is a beautiful chapter. A friends mom asked her friends me included to pray Ps 91 over her to be healed of MS and she was healed. I now pray it over my nephew who has glioblastoma. And hopefully he will be healed.
Psalm 91 and Psalm 23 are two psalms that the LORD especially pointed out to me all my life and I treasure them greatly too

i always find it edifying and concerning at the same time that it is mostly protestants that lie about the catholic faith but catholics do about protestantism. i know that because whenever i go to protestant channels they confirm what i already knew about them. its edifying becuase its another reason the catholic faith is correct. why would we lie if we have the truth. its concerning because so many people follow these charlatan protestants believing their lying words about church teaching.

Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart.
Man-made doctrines are revealed not by the scripture quoted by its proponents, but rather by the scripture they must ignore to make it work.
Roman Catholics claim Peter is the rock the Church us built upon. What does Peter say about the "chief cornerstone" in 1 Peter 2:4-10? What does Jesus say in Matthew chapter 21 about the "chief cornerstone"?
It's fine, because the Catholic religion is not the body of Christ. Messianic Christianity is the true religion of the Bible.
Catholicism is a religion that is founded on Babylonian religious background. This is an ever-continuing discussion, and Carlin is proof catholicism is corrupt. Especially if anyone can claim it and also be a part of the world.
@@SpotterVideo catholics don't "claim" Peter is the rock. Jesus established Peter as the rock the church was built on. That's why Jesus changed his name from simon to Peter. Matthew 16:18-19 is Jesus's words. Catholics don't "claim" anything. We teach what the Bible teaches.

I have been saved many years, but could never really grasp saving grace, though I knew I was saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, every time I sinned I felt terrible and worried that I wasn't saved. Even though my feeling terrible was actually proof of salvation because I was being convicted and chastened. God only convicts and chastens those that are His. But I was raised to believe that if you're truly saved you won't sin because you can't sin, so if you sin then you weren't actually saved.Needless to say I stayed in such a fearful state, fearing death so much! But I listened to a Paul Washer sermon and I believe God used his sermon to teach me that we are saved by grace period, no buts no ands grace alone period! I realized that even if it was possible to never commit sin I still couldn't stand before a thrice Holy God because I was born in sin, God is a consuming fire and I would be consumed if I went before Him in my self righteousness!!! But OH!! Taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him!!!!! It takes the blood of Jesus Christ covering my sinful state and soul, so that through Christ I can come BOLDLY before thrice HOLY GOD and praise Him and cast my cares upon Him. I hope this will help someone else who may have been taught this wrong way. God bless my brethren and save the lost. Thank you sir for teaching me how to witness to the lost, I hope to be able to witness in such a way one day! Glory be to God for blessing you with such a gift! Adding something after reading the comments, I absolutely know we MUST REPENT and turn from our sins, but if you do sin after you are saved, that doesn't nullify your redemption. That is the point I was making, but people thought I was saying you don't need to repent, well you DO have to repent and also CONFESS with your mouth that you are a sinner and know that it takes the blood of Jesus to wash those sins away. Hope that clears things up a bit.
You still have to repent because we sin when we know it not and confess our sins to GOD to let him knw that we are aware of the sins that we do know about.
You're an inspiration to others, because you are not alone. The best part of it all is, God convicts us, if He didn't we would be in big trouble. We will only achieve perfection after death as long as we persevere, and keep the faith in our Lord and Savior Lord, and King Jesus the Christ. God Bless you and your family.
The reason you feel terrible after sinning and concerned is because you need to go to confession with a priest John 20:23
God bless you for such beautiful words!
@@GP-dp4mr No you're wrong. When we sin and feel bad, it's conviction through and by the Holy Spirit.
The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is the one who does not condemn himself in what he approves. Romans 14:22
We always give thanks to God for all of you, making mention of you in our prayers; constantly keeping in mind your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father, knowing, brothers and sisters, beloved by God, His choice of you; for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sakes.
1 Thessalonians 1:2-5
Majority of Roman Catholics are ignorant of knowing what the scriptures say, because the Roman church never ever encourages people to study the Bible. In fact most of the time if Roman Catholics attend Bible study, the priest will not agree with that, it happened to me, and others who were Roman Catholics studying the Bible.
My wife had the Catholic Bible, and I have a 1977 edition of the New American Standard Bible, and what was not in the Roman Catholic Bible could be found in the NASB version. The Catholic Bible is not complete, and also has books that are not Holy Spirit inspired.
Worshipping Mary over Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible. Neither a priest, saint nor Mary can absolve anyone from sin. Deceitful religion. Thank you for this video, Ray. This is what love truly is.
if you dont know anything about Catholicism then dont talk about it
@LRen2512 Catholics do not worship Mary...we respect and honor her for her role in our salvation. Her 'fiat'/yes, of her "free will", is why we have the Lord Jesus today. Also we do not worship the bible, we worship the God which it speaks of. Bibles are just books which contain the truths of the history of God with his creations. Worshiping a book can be idolatry too. We worship the Son of God who is present on the altar at mass in the Catholic Church. Jesus did not write letters, his followers did. Jesus spoke, healed and forgave and even resurrected people. He did not tell us to write(you can correct me if I'm wrong), but he did say to go and baptize, preach the good news and to forgive, to his disciples. True "love" is telling the Truth and there is nothing but Truth in what the Catholic Church teaches. I'm sorry, but it s you who have been deceived.
@Lren2512, You shouldn't lie about any one or anything. Catholics do not worship Mary OR the bible...we worship Jesus Christ,...the Father and the Holy Spirit/Trinity. We honor the mother of our Savior because she is the only human who had to be perfect in order to carry the Lord in her body. You have deceived others about the Catholic Church...and yes, the priest forgives sin in persona Christi. Jesus gave us this means, otherwise how would you have assurance that God has forgiven you? This Sacrament imparts grace and peace. If you keep telling lies about the mother of Christ and His church ...a lie is a lie....how can you be forgiven? Don't be a follower of the father of all lies.
Ray, I'm a former Roman catholic and I KNOW THAT YOU LOVE LOST PEOPLE! Your ministry has really helped me to grow in grace! Jesus is THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN! John 14:6
The Word “Baptize”:
Based on Luke 3:16, and John 1:33, and Acts 11:15-16, the most important thing about the word "baptize" in the New Testament has nothing to do with water. The Holy Spirit is the master teacher promised to New Covenant believers in Jeremiah 31:34, and John 14:26, and is found fulfilled in Ephesians 1:13, and 1 John 2:27. Unfortunately, many modern Christians see water when they read the word "baptize" in the text. Based on the above, what is the one baptism of our faith found in the passage below? How many times is the word "Spirit" found in the passage, and how many times is the word "water" found in the passage?
Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

I'm Catholic, and I'm reading the catechism right now. And it clearly says, "you shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a Graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the water under the Earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my Commandments."
Am I confused about something? Because I don't think the catechism removed anything. Can somebody please correct me.
Ray Comfort is very dishonest. He has been exposed many times and continues to do so even after apologising perhaps in his mind his motives are of good intentions but he is very misleading. And just repeating the same old Protestant arguments that Catholics are continually clearing up.
The Church numbers the Ten Commandments differently than some other Christian sects. The "Graven image...." is included in the first Commandment in Catholic and, I think, Lutheran Church. You do not need corrected, Ray Comfort does.

Jehovah's witnesses, Mormons, and Muslims all have secondary books that coincide with their main holy book also. It's a quick, telltale sign of a cult. Someone has come along after the initial words were given, and altered them, or redefined them. If your belief is true, why is there a need for that?
Do the Protestants do the same in their Sunday schools and their summer Bible schools?
@@johnboehmer6683 That's not really true at all. I mean, a separate book that elaborates the Bible teachings can simply be put in the category of the ministry's books. There is the Bible which the ministry books should point to, and there are ministry books that you can read to further amplify your faith. I'm not defending the JWs or Mormons, it just doesn't point to "cult". If that's the case, then we can include (with books) audio sermons, pastor preaching (because who regulates what is being preached), TH-cam channels and so forth. What points to Cultism is the inaccuracies or the heresies being taught by these people.
That said, we also don't rush to Bible colleges and ban their ministry books because they are not The Holy Bible
@@johnboehmer6683 don't say that on this channel. They make their money by selling a book that isn't the bible
If a teacher gives a child a book, they may or may not read it. If they do read it, they might get something good out of it, but will they understand little or most things? How much more important would it be for the Church to teach, with authority, the truth to the faithful? The Bible contains history, idioms, hyperbole, poetry, and different languages that people don’t speak today, and you believe that anyone can pick up the Bible and come to a knowledge of the truth without making mistakes? Don’t forget that one mistake can put your soul at risk for damnation. This is why the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church guides the faithful in her wisdom over 2000 years.
Jesus said that the gates would not prevail against His Church built upon Peter (Mt. 16:18). You can have corrupt leaders and laity, but the Church herself, with her doctrines, will not fail.

The Catholic Church was made and given to us by Jesus and is not man made like all the rest. I will pray for you.
I have concerns that some in the Protestant community may seem lost as they appear to focus more on praying to the Bible, almost idolizing it, rather than following the teachings of Jesus Christ. There's a perception that the Bible takes precedence over the spoken words of God found in Jesus. The question of what holds priority, tradition, or the Bible, adds another layer of complexity. It saddens me to see many individuals feeling lost, and fostering understanding could be a key to addressing these concerns."

What discrepancies are you finding? In my conversion I wrote up a long list of my issues with the Catholic Church and used my very well worn KJV bible to try to disprove it.

Jesus said: Jesus’ Mother and Brothers
Mat 12:46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. 47 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.” 48 He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”

I grew up a Catholic and you are right I never heard about being born again or that salvation was not of works as it says in Ephesians chapter 2 but thank God He got me into a Bible believing church and I started learning The wrong things I were taught as a catholic by simply reading the Bible it showed me the truth I eventually became born-again it was the most powerful day of my life.. I testify That where sin abounds Grace much more abounds... I had an awful past but it was no match for the grace of God...Thank you Jesus
Dude. Same same same. Incredible .. Except, for me, God sent me a stubborn individual who would not let up feeding me the Gospel as New Agey as I was at the time and now he’s my husband. God has his ways! Amen!
I grew up Catholic and fell away from the faith. In my late '50's I came back to my faith. I read the Bible while waiting for Mass to begin every weekend. I was too young to really comprehend my faith at such a young age. However, once I decided to investigate my Catholic faith thoroughly, I started to understand my faith. It took a LOT more than just reading the Bible. Don't misunderstand, the Bible is an important part. Some of the Protestant faiths changed the Catholic Bible to fit their beliefs. Born again is Protestantism. Our original sin is washed away during baptism. We ask for the Blessed Mother to intercede for us. The Rosary has a decade in that when the water was turned to wine. How many saints do Protestants have? Not one I can think of. Martin Luther formed Protestantism and he had a deep devotion to the Blessed Mother. That faded away after awhile. So yes, I do not agree with just being so called born again. Jesus died on the cross for us so we can inherit eternal life. Repent and be saved by the body and blood of Jesus. God bless

This guy's videos are emotionally appealing, however, he's made all kinds of errors and false accusations against the Catholic Church and is the Church Jesus founded 2,000 years ago. Simply do a minimal amount of research and you will discover that Protestant Christianity came 1,500 years after Jesus' death on the cross and founding of the Catholic Church. The Bible wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for the Catholic Church!...
Well, here is one of the reasons as to why you will not see Mary the Mother of God, being mentioned in the Bible as the Mother of James, Joseph, Simon and Judas: It is crystal clear that Paul is speaking about the Apostles in Galatians 1:19"But I did not see any other of the Apostles, only James the brother of the Lord". He says that he saw only James, the brother of Jesus. We know that 2 of the 12 Apostles were named James, James the son of Zebedee and James the son of Alphaeus. So if we go back to Matthew 13:55, we find that James is mentioned as a brother of Jesus as well. Both the Apostles had different Fathers. How can Mary be the Mother of one of the Apostles? See also Luke 6:12-16 :Jesus chooses the 12 Apostles. Like it or not, Mary is the Queen of heaven and all generations shall call her blessed as in Luke 1:48.
I come from a family of priest and catholic nuns but 5 years ago I heard God’s voice telling me to look for my catholic bible and read it,now I am a born again christian and left the catholic church
May you continue your relationship with the Lord and lead you back to the fullness of truth. He left us his body, blood, soul, and divinity in the Eucharist. Been a Catholic all my life, went to a non denominational church for years, grew in my relationship with the Lord and by the grace of God, led me back to His Church, appreciate the gifts He left and much more! ... At the same time, made me realize how many Catholics don't know their own faith (like myself then) and hear the same misconceptiona and at times, misinterpretations of scripture. To all: please watch Explaining the Faith series by Fr Chris Alar on the TH-cam channel called Divine Mercy. May God bless you in your journey and believe Jesus when He says " This IS my body".
If any of your brethren disown you for leaving the Catholic Church, continue to move forward, and all the "Prophets and the "Just One (The Messiah)" were disowned by their own people and carried on moving forward.
Matthew 10:20.
We can only guide them by our actions and show them the true path by making them think for themselves by how we live in the truth?
That is why he was called the "Just One," the only perfect one among his brothers and sisters in his family, as we all need to be forgiven.
Wow he heard God's voice. Did you check if this is really God?
I have a very good catholic friend. When we talk about God she tells me I look up scriptures after we talk. Never taught the Bible just doctrines of the church. She tells me I learn from you….she doesn’t know I am still learning
Hmmm...@lulusmith3065 with that many religious in your family Satan had to try to take someone down. I cannot understand how you could leave the Church of Christ. You must try to discern the 'spirits'. Remember that Satan knows scripture too! Did you not ever speak with any of these family members of yours? It is their vocation to uphold the gospel of the Lord Jesus and to minister to his flock of which you are one. I guess the branch was too close to the tree and had to be cut off?....so sorry.
This is THE most loving thing you can do for Catholics, love them by sharing the truth of the Word of God. There's one Truth and it is God's word.
where was Christianity before 1500s?
@@jeffreyrodrigoecheverria2613 Jesus was a Jew. God is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
@@butterflyyy8639 What is your point? No Catholic would deny he is Jewish in origin.
@Tzel Again, you did not answer anything, where was Christianity before the Protestant Reformation? You had to become a Roman Catholic to become a Christian if you lived Western Europe or Orthodox Christian if you were in Eastern Europe and Oriental Orthodox Christian for the Middle East and Ethiopia. All these three churches can trace back to the 12 apostles, you can't say that about yourself.
@Tzel First of all, quoting the Bible does not help your case because then an atheist can come at your saying why should I accept this Bible in the first place (How the enlightenment era started after the Protestant reformation). The answer you can't, this why Jesus established a Church first, then the New Testament. Second, there was no way to accept Christ without Catholicism because they where the only Christians in town for most of history. So how would I accept Jesus Christ without someone telling me about Jesus Christ? PS Protestantism naturally leads to atheism. Protestantism in Western Europe is close to being dead.

Why do you make false claims?
Ray, I thank God for the beautiful work that you do to turn people’s heart towards the Lord. I am a practicing Roman Catholic and am forever greatful that I have the absolute privilege of receiving Jesus’ precious Body and Blood every Sunday. What a blessing, that Jesus humbled Himself so much that I, a completely unworthy sinner, may receive Him completely so often. It is something I will not be able to understand during my duration on Earth. I also praise our Blessed Mother that she continuously brings us back to her Son Jesus and is a brilliant model of humility. We have incredible respect for Our Lady as she was chosen by the Almighty to carry and raise the Son of the living God. None of us would be even get close to being worthy of that role. This is why I don’t understand how other Christians don’t give her even the smallest amount of respect that she deserves. In every imagine I have seen of the Mother Mary, she is bowing her head in prayer. We do not worship her, but we venerate her purity and grace. The only desire of her heart is that she may bring people to her Blessed son who she fully knows is God. She always points my heart to Jesus and i am ever thankful to her. She is a beautiful representation of joy and peace. I pray that Christian’s start to realise that. Thank you for bearing with me if you got this far! God bless you brothers and sisters in Christ
Well said.
From a biblical point of view, the bible teaches that the works of the old law will come to an end except for one, the sacrifice of bread and wine aka the Eucharist (Mal 1:11).
Yes.. Catholic practice what Jesus did here on earth.. Baptism, eucharistic, penetance, and others..there's no other church have a wholeness of what the bible says but Catholic.. But remember Jesus also have those things whom he said to his disciples to do..so we have written and tradition(the things Jesus said to do) ...which makes the believers a traditional thing now.. I'm proud to be Christian Catholic..
She was a sinner like you
That's an idol! Christians do it in remembrance of, not part of our works! We are not saved by our works least any man should boast! Ephesians 2:9 11Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands- 12remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, 15by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, 16and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity. 17AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR; 18for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. 19So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, 20having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, 21in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, 22in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.
Ray you are a gift to every person you meet there in CA and beyond. I pray, LITERALLY, for your continued work and for strength.
I'm Christian, but I don't think that it's correct to say that generally catholic people are wrong. Because there also exist catholics who only pray to God, and also read the Bible. I also think that there is a difference between - pray to Mary like in the first seconds of this video - AND - ask her for praying for us to God -. I don't want to open a dispute in this point. But I understand, if here in this world we also ask for prayers, so some people don't see anything wrong in the practice to ask Mary for praying for them by God.
It would be nice if Christians focused more on loving each other. Because more and more Christians are like against catholics, that's not the right way.
Thank you for your charitable comment and openness to understanding what we believe about Mary. You have that part exactly right. We ask her to pray for us. We don't pray "to" her in a way that is worshiping her. Worship is for God alone.
Catholics are Christians too. It does seem like some people's intent is only on pulling people from one Church to another, rather than being concerned for souls.
Trent Horn has a rebuttal to this video of Ray's. I really wish Ray would talk with Trent but it doesn't seem likely.
I was born a catholic and even if no one tells me to read the Bible i can read it myself without putting the blame on others for not ordering me to read it.
The Catholic Church also encourages people to read the Bible. You can get indulgences for doing it, and no indulgence doesn’t forgive sin, reconciliation does. It’s also the church that gave us the Bible. Ray Comfort misuses the Bible.
The Catholic Mass is about 90% directly quoted from Scripture. Even the greeting is "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all" direct quote from 2 Cor!!!
Out of all the years since The Holy Bible has been compiled, it has been hidden or forbidden for most of those years, decades, centuries.
It’s only recently that RC Clerics encourage Laity to read the Bible.
Reformers were translating, printing, studying, teaching
The Bible especially The Gospel
SIMULTANEOUSLY
RCC included Bible on the Forbidden Book List by the Council of Trent which was just 1 part of the Counter Reformation.

I was raised Roman Catholic and attended 12 years of Catholic 'schooling'. Never, NEVER did we open the bible. We heard little snippets of the scripture during 'mass'. Interstingly, I always felt physically ill during mass, but never knew why.
After many decades of spiritual attacks and not knowing they were spiritual attacks, I started reading the Good Book. Once I saw Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high ." and Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.", my life changed for the better. I was new. I was reborn. Thank you, to Jesus, my Lord and savior.
I've asked God for forgiveness for the idolatry I committed while attending Catholic services. God is good.
I also went to Catholic school for 12 years and WE DID open and read the bible. It's so strange hearing anti-Catholic school stories.
@@LoveMuffin800 I'm sure every school is different. I have friends that are catholic and truly love the Lord but the majority I know are followers of the traitors of men and not scripture.

@@LoveMuffin800 I was Catholic and I know many Catholics and I can attest that they worship Mary. The Bible also speaks of not having statues or images, they are like excrement to God. Those images are not even accurate depictions of Mary and Jesus.
I went to a Catholic grade school and high school. Then in 1972 I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I put my trust in Him alone for my salvation. My whole life changed. I am now a Senior Pastor in a Southern Baptist Church. Praise God for his amazing grace!
The bible says the New Testament church will have the sacrifice of bread and wine. Can you show me how your church has fulfilled this biblical sign of the church?
Wow great.. wait till you learn about patristics.
What is salvation? Something you wish for yourself? Something selfish? All I know is that Jesus is love and I return my love to Him. What happens after death is not up to me but rather to God. Oh yea, my whole life changed also. I am now Roman Catholic.
Peace be with you Brother Bruce.
If you put your trust in Jesus you would obey his commandment to abide in him in the Church he established.
@@thereaction18 but if you put your trust in Jesus alone, then you just follow His words. Here is the problem. Jesus never told anyone which books belong in the bible.

@@markkeetley2225 this is the reason you should not interpret scripture on your own . Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers, - Romans 15:8
Paul said this so that the Gentiles would understand that the Lord Christ had been sent to the Jews and so they would not be proud. Since the Jews rejected what had been sent to them, it happened that the gospel was also preached to the Gentiles, as is most clearly written in the Acts of the apostles, when the apostles say to the Jews: “It was necessary that the Word of God should be spoken first to you. Since you … judge yourselves unworthy … behold, we turn to the Gentiles.” It also agrees with the Lord’s own testimony, when he said: “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel” and: “It is not right for the children’s bread to be thrown to the dogs.” If the Gentiles think carefully, they will realize by their own faith, by which they now believe that to the pure all things are pure, that they should not offend those Jewish converts who, perhaps from weakness, dare not touch certain kinds of meat, fearing that it has been in contact with idols.
- Augustine of Hippo
Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers, - Romans 15:8
Christ Jesus was minister of the circumcision, who came both for the salvation of the Jews, and of the Gentiles, who preached and would have his gospel first preached to the Jews, for the truth of God to confirm the promises made to the fathers, that he, the Messias, should be sent for their salvation; but at the same time also for the salvation and conversion of the Gentiles, which he confirms by divers evident testimonies of the holy Scriptures. (Witham)
He calls our Saviour the minister of circumcision, that is, of the Jews, because he appeared amongst them, dwelt amongst them, and himself preached amongst them. This was a privilege which the Gentiles did no enjoy, having never seen, nor heard Jesus Christ, since he confined his preaching to the strayed sheep of the house of Israel; and this, to accomplish the promises made to their fathers.

"Born Again" always meant baptism until a(nother) new group of Protestants gave it a new meaning in the early 1900's. Look up the history of the "Born Again" movement. It really gained momentum after Chuck Colson wrote his book, "Born Again" in 1975, from prison. In 1976, Jimmy Carter was the first U.S. presidential candidate to describe himself as such. In 1980, all three major candidates did so.
Prosperity theology, believing that you'll have health and wealth in this life by believing and donating to those causes, is so deceptive. Our faith is not to be in the "kingdom" of THIS world.
Oh, every time he starts that line of questioning about breaking God’s Ten Commandments, I just wish I was that bold like he is. Keep up the good and godly work, Ray!
You can be bold. Have the faith and believe that Father God will guide you and ask the Holy Spirit as well. We are to spread God's words from sea to sea, north to south. Keep speaking with love and patience to the one's that don't know of God's love and blessings. We were all babes in Christ at one time. May God be with you on your journey. Waiting patiently for Sweet Jesus return. 🙏
@Fisher of Men Ministries but he is a prideful vain man
@Fisher of Men Ministries how can a 70 yo man who dyes his hair not be considered vain. It's such a vain act
I don't admire it, it resembles sales tactics.
Dying ones hair is not a condemning sin. We all have some sin in our life. If we say we have no sin than we are a liar. That’s a verse in the Bible.
I have to say that for some, hearing this truth can be an immediate eye opening experience. For others, the truth Ray Comfort is telling takes time to sprout and grow. At one time I was confused like this girl ... and many others in these videos. A work acquaintance told me, perhaps with fewer words, the same message. We only worked together for about two years and it took five years for what he had told me to break through my logical mind to become clear as day. I only tell this for the sake of those watching these videos who feel inspired to go out and do your own evangelizing. You may not see immediate results with some, but Jesus even made the example, if you plant this seed of truth into fertile soil (a willing soul) it *will* take root and grow. My work acquaintance never knew, still doesn't know to this day that his words changed my life and brought me properly to the Lord.
So true, great words. God's promise is that his word will not return void. We can rest assured that God uses our words to continue to deal with people we witness to at strategic moments, doing everything possible to draw them to him. Because of the pride of man, it will rarely happen right away in that particular encounter, but can and does happen on down the road, as with you.

@@catholicfemininity2126
Dear friend. I too was raised as a catholic, and went to all catholic schools in which nuns were our teachers… I had been severally traumatised as a child, from emotional, physical and sexual abuse.
I became extremely introverted and fearful, but not one teacher, priest or nun ever came up to me to ask if I was ok… Even though I was sent to Mass every Sunday (me and my sister alone at a young age) again no one even said hello to 2 little girls by themselves. I desperately needed to know about the love of Christ at that time, as I was dying inside, but I never heard about the love of God, nor did I experience it within the hearts of the congregation.
Maybe they themselves hadn’t experienced it either, therefore they couldn’t share what they didn’t know.
But what I wanted to say really, was that the catholic truth which you believe in, is in opposition to Biblical Truth. The words of the Bible are the standard we use to measure the truth or error of any religion or cult. It is the Only truth… It was Jesus himself who said ‘I am the Way, the Truth and the Life… No one comes to the Father except through Me’. I’m not being critical here, but just pointing out some facts… By calling Ray a liar, you are in fact calling God a liar; as everything Ray speaks is from Gods Word, and Gods word is Truth.
God says of Himself in the Bible ‘I am not a man that I should lie’…
Please check everything you hear with the Bible, no matter who speaks. There is a great deception going on upon the earth in these last days, and we must have the Truth in us to be able to comprehend when we hear error… I’m sending this out of love for your soul. God bless you 🙏♥️🙏
@@catholicfemininity2126 What in this video is dishonest, please be specific?
Because the point he made about the second commandment being deleted by the Catholic Church is 100% true, ask yourself, why would the Catholic Church change the commandments, especially the commandment speaking out against graven images?
Calling an honest and Godly man a liar, which is exactly what you've done here, is a grave sin.
@@robbyrockets1 Where is the second Commandment deleted by the Church? The numbering of the Church's Ten Commandments is different then Ray Comfort's sect of Christianity with the graven image prohibition being included in the first Commandment, but not deleted. Several comments have reflected this point.
@@christinemclatchie Ray spoke in this video, I listened and heard him claim that the Church removed the second commandment from the Catechism. . I checked the Bible and the Catechism and the prohibition against worshiping graven images is still in my Bible and Catechism.
Even though MacArthur is a Calvinist, I like him because he stood up against the lockdown that the globalists imposed.
I agree, Mark;
And, he is a solid Christian.
I'm just a Christian saved by the blood of the Lamb of God (Jesus, the Christ). I know what it is to be saved, because I am!
Mac Arthur is not an enemy of the Bride of Christ, he just has a certain peculiar view of how Our Father sees us. He thinks that everyone who is going to be saved is already saved. Well then, John MacArthur, why did Jesus say to go and preach the Gospel to every creature?
I believe MacArthur is a true Christian Brother. He thinks differently about a certain few verses, but he proclaims Christ as The One, and he is right in that.
To put it in another way, read the boldest Christian commitment statement from Christ the Lord Himself. You already know it:
John 3:16, (and read vs 14, 15 and 17 while we are at it), and 2 Peter vs 9 ( The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.)
That is anti-Calvinist right out of the mouth of Jesus and Peter, as far as I am concerned, and I'm a good reader. We need to study the word when one of the apostles talks about "chosen", "predestined" and the other words the Calvinists lay their lives on. NOT that Calvinists are not our Christian Brothers/Sisters. THEY ARE. Making a mistake does not keep them from the mercy of God Almighty.
We need to love all the membership of the true faith. Christ is God. Period. He died for our sins and rose from the grave as the First Fruits of the Resurrection, and by HIM we are saved. If one gets a little mixed up in the scriptures, pray for them, but we must still treat all Christians as Children of God and the Bride of Christ.
He also said you can take the mark of the beast and still be saved. He is also a multimillionaire with 14 million dollars .🤔
@@chrissie3244
Chrissie, please site a source for the mark of the beast comment regarding MacArthur.
As far as the $14 million goes, there have been lots of wealthy people in the church. Maybe he's a good investor. Maybe he's a good writer. Whatever.
Consider Dorcus in the New Testament; She was a very wealthy woman, and was considered one of the pillars of the early church.
Anyway, lets have the source for the mark of the beast thing that you attribute to MacArthur, please.
Thank you.
@Chrissie Yes, his Eschatology isn't too accurate in my book, but at least he talks about prophecy. There's so much neglect in this area.
@dcw56 Much to digest here. I thank God for the children of God, but Calvinism often leads to fatalism. My sister rededicated her life to the Lord and was on a MacArthur kick. She was bi-polar and consequently took her own life. Many others have lapsed into Atheism. such as Derek Webb.
I started reading my Catholic bible and knew the church was wrong.
Well then you aren't reading the Bible correctly
Above comment. Good for you.
Ignore the above comments. You read it correctly.
We Catholics do not worship statues. We have a deep respect for the saint who is represented by the statue. It's just like keeping a picture of your family member with you so you can feel that they're present with you. In the Bible it obviously means not to make images or idols for worship, not that it isn't okay even for veneration.
@Limsdo Definitely not because 2 commandments are joined into one and is joined with no other gods beside YHWH- making and worshipping idols is included
The 10th Commandment is made into 2 commandment about coveting ; You shalt not covet your neighbor's house and You shalt not covet your neighbor's wife.

@@cameronoleary3916 I just wonder how can you ask dead people for help? I mean, when I talk with Jesus I can hear Him talking back. If you try asking dead saints for help to pray, do you hear them say ok I will?
@@cameronoleary3916 I love the way you made reference to a father Michael and not Jesus or the Bible. Clearly indicating that what Catholics practice is man made not God ordained. The Catholic church history shows that too.
The Bible never mentioned that good people in heaven can be prayed to. If a Christian is not satisfied with Jesus Christ being their only mediator, it's scary to think they can believe he really died for their sins and defeated death once and for all.
Saint Peter, John etc are dead and enjoying their relationship with God. They don't care about you on earth. The only person in heaven who has a business with you is God.
There ain't no one else over there praying for your. They have no pain and can't feel pain so they have no need to pray.
You only have one high priest in heaven who is touched by the feeling of your infirmity and that's Jesus and the Bible says he is the only one interceding for us.
Whatever Father who ever said whatever, it is not scripturally backed by truth so he LIED.
Also, Miracle doesn't mean a person is supreme and you must believe what they say. I know as a Catholic you may not be used to seeing so many miracles happen frequently, so it sounds like a super power.
I have seen more miracles in my lifetime than I can count. It doesn't mean I am to worship or Saint everyone who God has performed a miracle through.
Anyone who builds their relationship with Jesus Christ, and receives the holyspirit and believes, can perform a miracle by the power of God.
You too can work miracles. It's a gift from God. You can just ask. Please open your Bible and read. Put aside what any priest told you. Read what Jesus said in his word.

Well that’s a lie because Catholics are the main ones judging Protestants today and telling us we’re heretics
The Roman Catholic Church is not a holy church. .
Did you know that The Catholic Bible has more books than the Protestant one? It’s largely because Luther left out books that he didn’t agree with, yet were considered God’s Word by 1,400 years of Christians.
The Catholic Church REMOVED books from the Bible.
I'm not arguing for or against. I'm a Catholic who reads scripture and I choose to pray only to God in the name of Jesus. As an FYI in case you didn't know, the additional books the Catholics have are not part of the new testament. The books in the apocrypha were written before the time of Christ, and not Christian teachings. They're also not part of the Jewish Tanakh. So they are not in the "Jewish Bible". One reason they are not considered the inspired word of God is because there is nothing written in them that is quoted or supported in the New Testament. Something else to keep in mind the, The deuterocanonical books contain no prophecy. Between the prophet Malachi and John the Baptist is a span of about 420 years of no new prophesy. The protestants refer to this time as the Intertestamental period. The Catholics refer to it as the deuterocanonical period, when the additional books were written. going by memory so don't quote me on this part, I believe the deuterocanonical books were added to cannon second or third century, which I believe is something to take into consideration. The protestants claim Catholics added them as a response to Luther, around 500 years ago. That can't be true because the books are part of the Orthodox church which split from the Catholic church about 500 years before that, and they have the deuterocanonical books in their bible, so they were definitely added prior to the reform period. In my mind, any doctrine in the church should be scrutinized if it came after the teachings of Christ and the testimony and teachings of his Apostles.

Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
You see? Paul commended them for putting his teachings to the test with scripture.

I grew up catholic. Catholic schools, mass, community, traditions, etc. I would've fought to my death believing Catholicism was Christs church. THEN i read the bible.

@@johnvitelli3862 thanks for your interpretation of this scripture.
Actually, the Word of God does not teach sprinkling or pouring water over for baptizing. However, it teaches baptism by immersion. Jesus was our example as HE was baptised by John the Baptist, immersed in the Jordan River. When a person is born again they can be baptized showing the old sin nature is done and rising back up out of the water as a New creation in Christ. It's a decision they make when they are old enough to understand and make it for themselves. Protestant and Catholic teaching is very different from Bible doctrine.
The two great commandments, as found in Matthew 22:36-40, are to “love the Lord thy God with all thy heart” and “love thy neighbour as thyself.”
Roman Catholic Catechism 493 :- Mary is called the ALL-Holy one - a title belonging to God alone.
Roman Catholics believe that Mary is sinless and believe that she is the Mother of God and believe that she is The Queen of Heaven and The Queen of the whole world. They also worship Mary like she a God or a Goddess and venerate Mary and call Mary for intercession and they think that she has the power to her their prayers and blessings and think that she can intercede for them.

The Bible says that a rich man has as much chance of entering Heaven as a camel has fitting through the eye of a needle. No one has a clue as to how much wealth is in the Vatican Bank. It's motto should be In God We Tru$t. The RC Church also, in the fourth century, removed reincarnation from the teachings of Christ, just to keep everyone confused. Reincarnation explains perfectly why some are born ill and poor and others healthy and rich, as ye sow, so shall ye reap.
Madeleine- you are dead right. “Call no man father” is about as autistic and literal as it gets.
@@sambaemol2476 if you actually read the passage you wouldn’t be making such a ridiculous comparison. Calling a priest “father” is acknowledging religious authority in regards to divinity; there is only one father.
As a Catholic myself my issue Ray Comfort is not that we don't see you hate Catholics. What we see is you who loves Jesus and wants to spread the gospel but if you want to engage with Catholics you need to talk a priest, theologian, apologist or any devout Catholic out there who knows about the history and the traditions. We all have a dark part in history but I encourage you to read the story of the saints and the early Church fathers. There is a lot of things I disagree with you on what you say about Catholics and we need to dive deep and actually speak about the faith. I encourage you to invite a Catholic to speak about the faith like Brian Mercier or Jimmy Akin. I know many of you have left and it saddens me to hear that because you may say you found Jesus but the fact is you see Jesus at mass every Sunday when you were Catholic! There is a lot of explaining to do but we can all come together and be friends. I love you all my brothers and sisters in Christ and I hope one day we may all be united!
That is a very well, logical point of view. For many of us like to be lead because it makes us feel wanted. We like others to find out things that we are capable of finding out ourselves but we don’t because we are taught to trust. That trust though is based on blind faith with a confirmed bias.
If you are Catholic, you have a duty to be informed by asking questions to your priest. This may enrich your faith and it may get you to read about the history of the church.
If you left the Catholic faith without making inquiries with the church, then you have been lead out by blind faith.
Remember, preachers preach because that is their work. They have a confirmed bias so never take them on face value. They are taught skilfully to manipulate your thoughts. Let them talk to you, then smile and gladly inform them that you will ‘make your own inquiries on their behalf’, thereby switching the tables around.
Do not trust without inquiry. God bless you all.
Thank you my friend for your response and may God bless you as well.
@@isaiahguevara8619 read the Bible and find out for yourself I think many good people in the Catholic Church but the Bible has many warnings that fit.
It's still a sin to recite the Rosary (Deuteronomy 18:11, Matthew 6:7).
The RCC's view of the church is completely at odds with the NT. It is the Scripture, and it alone, that is the guide for all Christians. The church on earth must submit to the Scriptures.
In addition , the idea that the RCC is the church that Christ setup, and that all believers must submit to it, is also rejected in the Scriptures in the strongest possible manner.
The RCC bears no resemblance to the church which is portrayed in the NT. Their view is only obtainable if one approaches the Scriptures with such rigid theological misconceptions that they must “mis-interpret” these verses to conform it to their own theological system.
Sir, If you are absolutely commit yourself to the LITERAL, GRAMMATICAL, HISTORICAL HERMENEUTIC you will be able to understand the "Full Counsel of God" and come to the conclusion the church is not the RCC.
KEY POINT: Literal, grammatical, historical hermeneutic is the same approach used in ordinary communication. In fact American jurisprudence rests upon this interpretive approach.
The dictionary defines literal interpretation that is "based on the actual words in their ordinary meaning...not beyond the facts.
In addition, it should be noted in passing that literal interpretation has been unfairly criticised on the basis that it adheres to a wooden, inflexible literalism that fails to allow for types, symbols, figures of speech and genre distinctions. Literalism does not preclude or exclude correct understanding of types, illustrations, apocalypses, and other genres within the basic framework of literal interpretation.
It is not too difficult to account for the widespread approval of the spiritualizing or allegorizing method adopted by many conservative theologians as well as liberal and ROMAN CATHOLIC expositors. Fundamentally its charm lies in its flexibility. The interpreter can change the literal and grammatical sense of Scripture to make it coincide with it own system of interpretation.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you”
Luke 1:26-28 - In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
I was raised in the Catholic church. My catechism showed that the 2nd commandment is hidden behind the 1st commandment and not emphasized when being taught in order to qualify for the Holy Communion. Thank God I have been born again.
@@jamesernest2976 please, don't let your heart be hardened. A seed is being planted unto you. Let God cultivate it for you to grow in wisdom of the scriptures. God is the very foundation of wisdom and you will gain true wisdom of you abide in the scriptures.
@@jamesernest2976 There's only one view of salvation that I accepted over 47 years ago and that was Jesus died on the cross to pay the ultimate penalty for my sins and rose again the 3rd day for my justification. It doesn't matter what you experienced regarding catholicism; I'm not impressed. I wholeheartedly agree with Ray Comfort's definition of the gospel and the misalignment of the scriptures by the catholic church regarding the 10 commandments. Let's keep it at that, shall we?
@@jamesernest2976 why do all Catholics say the same thing when confronted with people who left Catholicism..You didn’t know the faith”. The exact opposite is true for hundreds of thousands who have left Catholicism..the more we learnt the easier we left. It takes alot of blind obedience to remain catholic.
@@hannahs4779 interesting because the more i studied the more i felt the urge to leave protestantism. I was a protestant for 26 years and just recently converted to Catholicism. If you actually studied church history honestly. You would have no choice but to be a Catholic.
@@timothy9360 I have done RCIA so yes I have studied ‘Church history correctly’ which is how I know that Catholicism is Roman paganism veiled as Christianity.
I was raised in Catholic but I realize praying to Mary cannot save me but Only through Jesus Christ who saves me now am a fully born again Christian.
you’re brainwashed
It's so wonderful to watch The Living Waters videos and see how the Word of God touches people and makes one think about our Lord and salvation. Some are so emotional, it's hard not to cry!
I would really like to see a video where Ray debates Catholic converts like Scott Hahn, Jeff Cavins or Steve Ray on exactly the bible verses he talks about in this video. I'm a cradle Catholic and these converts have taught me so much about Catholicism!
Blessings!
Living Waters teaches heresy. We can only hope that it does not reach or influence people.
@@sowokeimright3000 please state the heresy you claim they promote. Thanks.
@@IQDave The falsities stated in the video about the Catholic church. Many, many false statements
@@frankkunkel6292 which ones?
@@IQDave The entire notion of how salvation works in Protestantism is heretical. "Faith alone" was invented by Martin Luther in the early 1500s.
My husband (Jimmy) who is with Jesus now whom he loved so much & who used to be a Roman Catholic, became a born again follower of Christ. It’s sad though his family are still Roman Catholics. He prayed for them & I do to this day. They are so lost. I visit once a year and try now & then mention scriptures. Catholics are very blind but I got to trust God they get born again.
Sad you think this. Attend one Catholic mass. Do some research
Yes they are quite stubborn..I grew up catholic but praise God He showed me the Truth. However my family are lost still, they are deceived and think that I'm the one who's lost and they don't even believe that Jesus will come back to judge the earth. They don't believe what I say. They love their sins that's why they love dark more than the light. I pray that God saves them before it's too late. God bless!
do you think Catholics are going to hell?
We are doing just fine without your hollow prayers. If your prayer for us is that we think like you, pray like you and follow your religion, you are the lost one. I would never tell a Protestant that they are not praying or worshipping correctly, why do you all insist upon telling us we are wrong? Look at it this way, if we are living good Christian lives, we will all meet up in heaven. No need to feel sad that we go to a Catholic Church and you go to a different one.
@@dottiediliddo7973
Dottie: Sorry you feel that way. I went to the Vatican not to brag but God showed me the Truth. By the way, Vatican means divine serpent. That wasn’t the only thing they have enough gold, silver & ancient artifact to mount to billions. It’s sad they have Mary statues, they worship the sun, and I could go on & on. I’m Telling you in Love and nothing else.
As a former News Photographer, do research yourself and ask Jesus because He is our Lord and Savior. Mary who is asleep in Christ like the Apostles & disciples and all His ppl.
God Bless!
God Bless!
This is good ray. The fact of the second commandment alone shows the dangers of leaving out or changing Gods word is evident.
It is not for us to question God. But to seek out the spirit to excuse or conclude a belief. The word is one with the spirit or we could never come to understanding of salvation. If God says a thing and we are not given grace then even Moses the murderer is not to be listened to. The word without grace is of no effect by itself.
Thank you for this. I'm edified and better equipped to spread the Word.
@@jamesernest2976 Thank you. I encourage you to please read your Bible. It's true.
@@jamesernest2976 One the traits RC's are typically best-known for is for not knowing their Bible. Rome historically burned people alive for publishing Bibles in languages ordinary people were able to read and study. Flash forward to today (it is getting slightly better) but the typical RC has not cracked open the book they keep up on a shelf collecting dust.
Really? How do you explain, "THIS IS MY BODY"? How do you explain that Protestants utterly destroyed the doctrine of the Eucharist and the priesthood, which has been a central part of Christiantiy for two thousand years?
@@MillionthUsername It is His body. Next?
He died for us, we are to live for him.
