In the beginning there was the spirit of a beast that identified with its surroundings using a sound that came from within, within him also came art, pictography and music, but sound was invisible without a body, a picture or an image, so notes were designed to go with this sound to identify with it, thus giving the Spirit a body in the flesh that would be visible. The Harp -ABCDEFG. God major the RULING father notes of man’s mind, body and spirit. Commandments were made for best practices and use of this new found art for the beast had taken its spirit and put it into the flesh where rules where needed to avoid conflicting the spirit. Church was the original school and government used to establish a relationship with this word but the word was later hijacked for its power. Jesus came along and was a baby Genius, a son born in the spirit of love, truth and knowledge -abcdefg. god minor died to seal the Fathers truth protecting it when other beast formed its government and new agendas ruling the flesh of the world and away from the traditional Fathers teachings of the sacred God Almighty Spiritual Word of Man and its Kind. Numbers rooted and today we live in a matrix preforming algebraic equations to shape our lives through our minds, our bodies and spirits with the ability to shape an outcome amongst our piers. The Bible was written so that few would understand and it not appear as a threat to the evil ones all while testing spirits and surviving away from dictatorships unbound by spiritual laws. Not everything is literal. Jesus walks on water! He will make known the truth with a splash test him not. So what’s it like to have a sound mind? Part them hands open them books and pray on them answers! God is the vocal instrument reflecting life and the spirit, it is an innocent mirror a reflection of the beast interior.

@@MightyMatthew777 Amen . What is not taught often , is the following : Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. Died like all the earthy image shall die. From dust thou are , to dust thow shall return. The earthy image was first . Than received a heavenly image like a Angel ore a figure like a man , even a ghost. A ghost can only be one image , as the image he was as a earthy man. Now this heavenly image of a man is k own as the right hand / strong hand / even hands of God. Not only that , he is the Angel with the LORD'S NAME in him . Exodus 23:20-22 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. 1. I send an Angel before thee , and my NAME is in him. 2. Obey his voice, and do all that I speak. Meaning , whatever the Angel spoke , that was the LORD speaking. Genesis 18:1-3 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: Genesis 18:22-27 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes: 1. Two men turned towards Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot met them as two angels the next chapter. 2. Behold now, I spoke unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes. 3. The LORD appeared as three men . Two left as angels that looks like men. With one, Abraham reasoned with , yet the Lord was nothing but Ash and dust. 3. Meaning whatever this Angel /person spoke , was the voice of the LORD in a image like a man.
@@morneterblanche3459 I thank you for For talking to me, So I say unto you I believe that the 1st testament in the New Testament is absolutely who God is without a doubt I believe The Bible and every word in it and I tell you that Jesus came down from heaven from his throne walked a perfect sinless life taught us how to pray taught us how to walk in God and when he was 33 years old he was crucified on that cross for mine and your sin John 316, Now when he ascended into heaven he sent the Holy Spirit of God down here to equip us and fuse us in our spirit the power to walk the Christian life like Christ did we cannot do anytbing to win salvation, Your good works all of our good works are filthy rags in front of a holy righteous God, So how do we get to heaven? Believe in the son of the Lord thy God believe that Christ Jesus died on that cross for you and rose 3 days later and sent down the Holy Spirit of God to infuse your spirit to walk in his ways and to keep his commandments,, This I believe I do not worship anybody but Christ I do not hail Mary I hail Christ, Now I do not believe in disrespecting anybody but I believe in sharing the gospel because that is what I'm called to do, And I say to you there is an avasery whom name is satan who makes fault religions and twist The Bible for your downfall for his game, I pray that these words were a blessing to you and it was nice to talk to you about the holy word of God,,
Hebrews wrote the Bible under inspiration of God the Holy Spirit . No church denomination has claim to the ownership of the Bible .It's written to believers in the Lord Jesus Christ .
The Bible was written by many authors. Let's talk abou the New Testament. Which books are inspired and which are not? You need an authority. The Bible didn't fall from the sky. The Catholic Church has compiled the inspired books under Holy Spirit guidance. I invite you to go to a Catholic church and tell a priest all your doubts. Love
I left the Catholic Church years ago because everything they did is unscriptural. I could point out so many things that the Catholic Church did they did not conform to the word of God. Basically the Catholic Church is traditions of men and not of God.
@@edge2sword186 completely incorrect. Jesus established the Catholic Church and you have left it. Just because you don’t understand the teachings of the Catholic Church that doesn’t mean you should leave it and try to guide yourself. You have become a sheep without a shepherd, and have abandoned the Eucharist. "Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God.... They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes" (Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6:2-7:1 [A.D. 110]). Ignatius of Antioch on the Eucharist who is the student of the apostle John and likely knew other apostles. Ultimately you left the rock on which Jesus built his church, as did martin Luther over a thousand years after Jesus established the church. Which is why you have thousands of Protestant denominations teaching a million different interpretations. Come back, stop with the silliness.
And how do you think the Bible was compiled? How do you think the books of the Canon were decided on? It was an ecumenical council that decided this. A meeting of the bishops.
@@RJJ-yn1zh It is compiled from Hebrew Writers that God used .The Ethiopian predates your Catholic bible .As Catholics we were taught not to read the bible so what's your point ?
Why is it Catholics think that compiling scripture that was already considered the Word of God into one book is equal to creating the scriptures? Sola Scriptura does not mean that the Bible is our only authority, but it is the only infallible authority. There is nothing wrong with authority that comes from the church fathers, bishops, pastors or priests but it doesn’t outrank the scriptures and cannot contradict the scriptures. The reason the reformation happened was due to the institution of the Catholic Church selling indulgences, torturing and burning people at the stake for daring to own a Bible in English among other corruptions that completely contradicted the Holy Word of God. The Catholic Church split the Church by excommunicating faithful people who dared to question the authority of the church as opposed to the authority of scripture.
This is *chefs kiss* 🤌 It baffles me that Catholics are so disgusted with the reformation, when in reality the reformation set so many crucial things into motion. Without it, we wouldn't have the same rights we do today. The first few pilgrims on the mayflower traveled to the United States in search of religious freedom and better opportunities. The ideas behind the reformation are the same ideas that were fundamental in the establishment of our constitution. Free will, the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, the right to defend yourself and your property (2nd ammendment), the right to freedom of speech and the right of religious freedom and expression are just some examples of those core ideals and they are all based on scripture as well. These Christian principles that were made popular during the reformation also led to the abolition of slavery and the civil rights movement in this country later on. The reformation also led to the translation of the Bible into common languages such as English and thanks to that, Christianity has made its way across the entire world. It has made a huge impact on the faith of so many allowing people to understand what it is they actually believe. My grandparents have told me many stories of them growing up going to Catholic mass back when it was all in Latin. Nobody understood anything and they left mass with no spiritual food or guidance. They did what they were told, followed the rules but left church sometimes more broken then they arrived. Thanks to the reformation people now understand the gospel. They understand the truth and the impact of Jesus Christ's teachings and what He did on Earth and it has made all the difference. God has a purpose for everything ❤
The RCC has a problem with the reformation because it is in bed with left wing politicians and authorities. It is in bed with the LTBQ+ community. Priests are often caught in gay affairs and child sex. Enough said
All Catholics should read and understand and accept these verses. Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, [9] not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 1 John 5:13 ESV I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. John 3:16 ESV "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. ❤️✝️
Ah, that video. I can see how that one can be a little surprising. They were blessing those people for God to turn away from their sin, that God would look favorably upon them, and help them from their sin. In the video, he acknowledges that homosexuality is indeed a sin. Hope this helps, that video was a little alarming to me at first
You bless people in sin but not their union, As Jesus blessed Mary Magdalene, so is the holy father.... The union can't be blessed but the people involved can be blessed, so that they would return to God. 🎉
That's what the media wants you to think. I'm a protestant and read the statement and it explicitly says they do not even recognize same sex unions as marriage and they want to bless those in them as if they were blessing a sick person
Galatians 1:8 ESV But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. Scriptural authority, plain and simple.
Nothing about tradition contradicts the gospel. You see, there is no authority beyond scripture that can contradict scripture, but that doesn’t mean there’s no authority beyond scripture that can compliment scripture.
@@kuakkuaku this verse is very clearly telling us that we need to always go back to scripture. Letting another person, a human being born with a sin nature just like the rest of us, appointed by others who are also imperfect, have primary authority over the church even over the Bible itself, is heresy.
@@SDSwampert The bible itself is the Word of God. However, if you do not believe that the Church, the Apostles and their successors are guided by the Holy Spirit to interpret scripture, and that they are just sinful individuals leading others astray, then you have to be rejecting the Lord's will for the church to be one, rejecting his words to Peter, "Upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of Hades will not prevail". If there were no truly infallible interpreter guided by the Holy Spirit for this infallible book, then all denominations, spread throughout due to their own interpretations, are open to error. Which then denys our Lord's PROMISE. I beg you to please reflect upon what it is that I am saying, and to look toward the early Church Fathers and explore their teachings. God bless you.
@@TheAwesomemike1 that quote is the only thing that Catholics use to point towards the papacy. Nowhere else in scripture does it reference anyone being the head of the church, or if Peter has the right to pass down his authority to any successors. It's debatable whether or not the "rock" statement was even referring to Peter, it's possible that Jesus was actually talking about the fact that he was the Christ, the son of the living God, and that was the foundation on which the church would be built. Regardless, even if he was referring to Peter, he never said anything about him or his descendants having perfect divine authority on earth, and I think if you look back on the many controversies of past popes as well as the current one, you can see that they are not infallible, and that is what Catholic Papal authority is built upon. Remember that in the Middle Ages the Catholic Church actively discouraged the populace from reading their Bibles, claiming that the clergy, specifically the Pope, alone had the ability to properly discern scripture, and this led to many abuses of Papal privileges, such as indulgences. I think that most Catholics are people I would call brothers and sisters in Christ, but the organization of the Catholic Church has some very serious issues with its handling of scripture.
@@mc07 yes you don’t have what Paul passed on orally but the Church that it was left to has it and that is the difference. That you call scripture “Bible” points you to the Church as the pillar and foundation of the truth.

@@turningproductiveWe all (the body of Christ) are part of the Holy Catholic Church- the Roman Catholic Church on the other hand is just the largest denomination.
@@withlessAsbestos No. The authority of the Church was given to Peter (the pope) in Matthew 16;18 and continued to the next popes. We can make part of the Christ Church accepting the faith in Jesus (that implies following the visible Church He founded) but we can error. That’s why Protestantism has many brunches. It’s just humans’ interpretation. The Church Jesus founded is guided for the Holy Spirit. That’s why I’m Catholic. The Church, by the Pope when speaks officially and infallibility about faith and moral things, doesn’t error.
I am an Orthodox myself but the protestants should not really be talking about the Bible while removing 10 perfectly normal and holy books for no reason at all
They removed 7, but yeah it confuses me when protestantism loves to go yell about things being unscriptural while following some deranged German heresiarch’s demands to cut the bible short. Even as a Catholic I can at least respect that the Orthodox remember that sacred tradition is an integral part to the faith and that abandonment of tradition leads to a complete breakdown. Prior to the reformation, schisms were large scale but rare, with centuries between the schism of the Oriental Orthodox and Chalcedonian Christianity and the great schism of 1054, and the breakaway churches all retained episcopal polity. Even we Catholics do not question the validity, though not the liceity, of Orthodox apostolic succession. Meanwhile many Protestants have abandoned a formal priesthood and basically create a new denomination every tuesday over someone finding a newer way to be even more wrong.
You'll be left behind. Any religion that removes one of the ten commandments, worships saints and Mary, believes in ways to be saved other than Jesus Christ is a cult. Don't follow the church, follow God's word.
Like I said: I am a PROUD CATHOLIC. It is MY choice. There is nothing any of you can say to change my belief. And if you are the christians you claim to be you would respect my choice. Luke 4:38 might have a different meaning to you. So, keep it to yourself. I am 59 years old and I have experience several Divine interventions through my Catholic faith and prayers. Worry about those who have no idea who God is.
@@michaal105I guarantee you don’t either don’t understand Catholicism or scripture or most likely as with most Protestants both if you think it Catholicism contradicts scripture. And it’s true the Church teaches that the Holy Spirit is the interpreter of scripture so you are right but the Holy Spirit works through the apostles and the bishops their successors just as is evident from the scriptures. And Peter was also clearly the chief apostle and his voice was the voice of the apostles and to him were first and primarily given the keys to bind and loose by the power of the keys and then later the other apostles and likewise by the laying on of hands to the bishops who succeeded them. So we are bound to the apostles bound to the keys of St. Peter and those who as his successors hold the keys. This is the institution of Jesus to guarantee the unity of the church under the apostolic authority.
@@robertlaprime6203 catholics be like : "Everyone that doesn't agree with me is a protestant." No they're Christians. You know, the church created by Jesus before catholicism was invented by the monarchy to gain control of Christendom.
Yes but the Holy Spirit can be interpreted differently person to person there has to be an authoritative interpretation on Earth to state whats right and what’s wrong. Scripture states my point
And also, the catholic church does not provide the bible, the bible is the rock on which the church is built, not the other way. Human traditions are things Jesus was against because they added new rules to God's rules, by traditions
@@ThaDogfather_YT I think I've expressed myself wrong to be honest, sorry for that. What I mean is that the church should be based on the Word of God, but the only way we know what God spoke in the past is the written Word, which is the bible. And Im not fully against tradition, Im just against the traditions that go agains the Word of God (Jesus was also against them. The pharisees had traditions like that and they were kinda the most popular Jewish religion). Really, I just want to worship Jesus and see more people encountering the true presence of God and to be filled with the Holy Spirit
Lol I understood you completely bro I was being facetious because I've expressed the same sentiment and the catholic faithful have tried to argue that the church is not built on scripture, but on Peter of whom they are successors according to their own traditions of 1 scripture that they have traditionally misinterpreted.
Historically. The catholic church did provide it. Those books in your bible were all selected and compiled by the church. No where in the Bible does it in name the 27 books of the nt, so you have nothing telling you the gospel of peter is one of thr 4 gospels and not john. It was the catholic church that finalized and declared what were the books we would believe to be the word of God.
The fruit of sola scriptura is what is practiced in some mainline protestant churches like gay marriage, gay pastors, acceptance of abortion and many other anti Christian teachings. Not all protestants, but the ones that conform to this world. It is sad to see the our Christian brothers and sister not agreeing with one another. I pray for unity within the Christian faith. The pillar and foundation of truth is the church and there was only one church in 32 AD. The church that Jesus started is still here today and it has some very old traditions, the Catholic Church.
If you love Jesus, you will follow his commandments and that includes LISTENING to his SHEPHERD, the POPE. Instead, you have made yourself your own Pope. You believe what you want to believe, you reject the teaching authority of the Church founded by Jesus in 33 A.D.... the Catholic Church.

How misguided do you have to be to believe this? Please do better research before you keep believing and spreading lies to people who are actually called to the faith
They do . The difference is they have 2,000 years of documented history and they interpret the bible for you . Who wrote the verse , why they wrote it the meaning in different languages etc . The problem with Sola Scriptura is people end up getting lost in the Old testament and live in the state of war and the apocalypse .
We do in fact, Religion means relationship. Most Protestants just spew out random arguments that pastor Joe said and believe them fully. Read catechism to learn about the church.
The Bible is not a Catholic book but an amalgamation of multiple books that were decided upon by different councils when the church was still united. This means that the Bible was not created by the Catholic Church alone, but also by the Orthodox Church when they were still united. The process of selecting which books to include in the Bible began in the early Christian church, where there was no official canon or list of accepted books. Different Christian communities had different collections of writings that they considered authoritative and inspired by God. Over time, various councils and leaders within the church debated which books should be considered part of the Bible. The Council of Carthage in 397 AD is often cited as one of the earliest examples of a council that confirmed a list of books for the Bible. However, it is important to note that this was not a Catholic council but a council of bishops from North Africa.
The pope is infallible when speaking ex cathedra, and the Virgin Mary had no other children. Show me where in the Bible does it say that she bore other children.
You completely misunderstand what papal infallibility is as a concept. He is only infallible when speaking ex cathedra on matters concerning faith and morals in an absolute manner without exceptions. Papal infallibility does not mean we believe the pope to be without sin. To assume we believe that means you have no idea what Catholics believe. Mary, the blessed God-bearer, was not a sinner and to insinuate that is an idea so blasphemous I wouldn’t even catch a Moslem making such a claim.
The canon, the trinity, and many other aspects of theology are only known to protestants through the Church, and, of course, nobody takes the idea that the early Church was protestant seriously anymore. And when protestants first proposed their theories about accretionism and successionism to explain how the Church supposedly became corrupted yet how right doctrine was transmitted from the early Church to that time, they did so without any evidence
@@sammygomes7381 The Eucharist is in the Bible, they could ask Mary directly, again why ask others to pray for you if you can go to God directly, that is the essence of the intercession of the saints, and they almost definitely had some sort of a liturgy
@@sammygomes7381 But again, stuff like the trinity. Where do you get the trinity since the Bible must be interpreted? The first protestants claimed that doctrine had been handed down from the time of the early Church. They understood they needed an explanation beyond taking their interpretation for granted. Now they were wrong and were lying about their assertions which is one reason why nobody makes that argument anymore. And things that sit outside the Bible like the canon, where did you get that?
I I know a lot of you will disagree with what I’m about to say. The Catholic Church isn’t the way: they teach there has to be a step by step process to achieve salvation while Christ proclaimed that the only way to salvation was through faith. Jesus died for each and every one of our sins! We don’t need a priest to ask forgiveness of since Jesus died so we could have that relationship with him! God bless you all!
If you need the infallibility of the Catholic Church to define what is and isn’t Scripture, then how did the New Testament authors & their audience know that the Old Testament is Scripture?
The New Testament authors were inspired by God. But how do you know which books are or aren’t inspired by God? We need a authority: the Catholic Church. There isn’t a part of the Bible that says which books are inspired so how do you know them (specially the New Testament)? With the authority and infallibility given by Jesus the Catholic Church decided which books were or weren’t inspired. 🤍 I know you may have many other doubts so I recommend you the book “Why We’re Catholic” by Trent Horn. You never lose. Or you learn something new or you consolidate your position. 😊
@@turningproductive That doesn't answer my question, though. When Jesus referenced "Scripture," how did his audience know which books he was referring to? The Catholic Church did not exist yet.
Because it’s linear. It is the story of salvation. Jesus is fully human and fully divine, he is God. So he is the ultimate authority, the alpha and the omega, if he was referring to scripture then we know that scripture is true because Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
@@repentantrevenant9776When Jesus was talking about Scripture He was referring to the Old Testament books! And the Jews already had them.

The mistake that Roman Catholic apologists make is claiming that the Bible is an authoritative list of books. They then posit that the leaders of the Catholic Church had the authority to choose which books were canonical and which were not. The Bible, however, is not an authoritative list of books, but rather a list of authoritative books. The Catholic Church did not give authority to the books, because the books were inspired by God, and therefore had their own authority when they were written. So the Church simple recognized the authority that was already present in those books. The books of the Bible were not authoritative because they were chosen by the Church, but rather were chosen because because they already were authoritative. To quote J. I. Packer: “The Church no more gave us the New Testament canon than Sir Isaac Newton gave us the force of gravity.” Newton did create gravity, but simply recognized it. It didn’t take two councils at the end of the 4th century to determine which books were authoritative. In his Easter Letter of 367, Athanasius recognized the 27 books of the New Testament. The council’s of Carthage and Hippo merely later endorsed what was already recognized by the churches. As regards needing an authoritative interpretation of Scripture, how many verses of the Bible has the R. Catholic Church given an infallible interpretation? Well, Jimmy Aiken says six, Father Rumble says 16, Heinrich Denzinger' says seven, and Marcellino D’Abrosio also lists seven. Even if one agrees with Rumble, there's a whole lot of Scripture that the R. C. Church has not infallibly interpreted. And as regards authoritative interpretation, the Hebrews had no Jewish "pope" or "magisterium" to provide infallible interpretation, and God seems to have had no problem with that. As to Sola Scriptura not being found in the Bible, only Scripture is said to be God-breathed, whereas tradition never is. IITim. 3:16 says, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." Is preaching the Gospel a good work? Then Scripture is sufficient to teach the Good News, and therefore no need to elevate tradition or participate in sacraments which are not found in Scripture and not confirmed until 1215. Sola Scripture simply means that only Scripture is infallible, and that the Bible is our ultimate source. And as to this claim that Sola Scripture has caused great splintering among Protestant churches, it would be disingenuous to claim that the R. C. Church is of one accord. Just look at Francis and what he says and writes; many Catholic leaders disagree with the man who claims to be the vicar of Christ. There have been many independent Catholic denominations which have identified as Catholic but are/were not in communion with the "Holy See": Apostolic Catholic Church, Apostles of Infinite Love, Argentine Catholic Apostolic Church, Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church, Palmarian Christian Church, Philippine Independent Church, Traditionalist Mexican-American Catholic Church, Venezuelan Catholic Apostolic Church, American Catholic Church in the United States, American Catholic Church (1915), American National Catholic Church, Community Catholic Church of Canada, Canonical Old Roman Catholic Church, Catholic Apostolic Church of Antioch, Christ Catholic Church, Ecumenical Catholic Church, Ecumenical Catholic Church of Christ, Ecumenical Catholic Communion, Imani Temple African-American Catholic Congregation, Mexican National Catholic Church, North American Old Catholic Church, Old Roman Catholic Church in Great Britain, Liberal Catholic Church (Province of the United States of America), Liberal Catholic Church International, and The Young Rite. So much for "Catholic unity."
The reason we do not use the Apocrypha is because we do not trust the Catholic Church to give us the Bible, so we use the Hebrew Old Testament that Jesus used.
Other than Song of Songs, which was only added officially to the Jewish Bible in the 2nd century AD, and though it existed during the time of Jesus he nor anyone in the New Testament quotes it. Are we to believe it is not scriptural then?
@@dataman6310 Think of it from the perspective of Martin Luther, you think that the Bible is the only infallible authority, but you need to decide your canon, you do not trust the Catholic Church enough to include the 7 books of the Catholic Apocrypha, considering that they were not written by or approved by Apostles, nor were they part of the Hebrew Canon that Jesus used, the only reason to include them would be because some Catholics, not all, they were disputed at the time, wanted to include them, but you are not going to insert random books into the infallible word of God just because some people from the corrupt Church at the time wanted to are you?

This is the problem with Christianity in general.. Everyone is trying to look at what denomination is correct and seek more about trying to find the right churches to go to, or what priest and pastor they prefer on YT rather than trying to seek a relationship with God and asking him for what God wants. But obviously this is what God has ordained. I would encourage anyone who is looking to further understanding is pray to God about what you want then let him decide. There's too many Christians that just 'assume' that God wants them to do this or that. Just take a deep breath, ask him what you want and let him decide/guide you through what you need first in order to fet what you want.

The BIBLE is a Jewish and Christian Library of Holy Books. The Bible is not solely a Catholic “Book.” Over 75 per cent is Jewish. I am a born again Pentecostal and I approve this message.
When Jesus ascended into heaven in 33AD, he left a church and no book or writings, led by a group of men with authority with one of those men having primacy. This church, the Catholic Church, with authority given to it by Jesus, gave you the Bible 400 years later and this church has the sole divine authority to interpret it for Christian doctrine. You are welcome to read it but you do not have the authority from Jesus to create your own doctrine.
With all due respect, an absence in belief of Sola scriptura is not a good reason to believe in a vicar of Christ, who is still alive btw. Read Matthew 23:9 and explain to me why Catholics disobey the Lord's command directly.
@@ryanpowell9003 I’m not Catholic, I’m leaning towards Orthodox at the moment but to answer you question in regards to why Catholics and Orthodox say father, in 1st Corinthians 4:15 Paul says For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. In 1st Peter 5:13 Peter calls Mark “my son” and also in 1st Timothy 1:2 Paul says of Timothy “my true son in the faith.” Therefore the components of a spiritual father are definitely in Holy Scripture. You’re taking what Jesus said in Matthew 23:9 literally. He is warning people against inaccurately attributing fatherhood-or a particular kind or degree of fatherhood-to those who do not have it.
“And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.” Mathew 23:9 Seems like Catholics don’t have a clear grasp on the Bible themselves if they’re calling their priests father.
Don't forget the rest of that verse which says don't call anyone teacher either. So why do we call some teachers either in the church or elsewhere? If your going to be consistent then no-one can be called teacher too.
Catechism of the Catholic Church contradicts the Bible. For example: only salvation through the Catholic Church (Catechism 816), that is, they claim that Jesus' sacrifice was insufficient (Hebrews 10:10, Romans 5:10).

The Catholic Church isn’t the way: they teach there has to be a step by step process to achieve salvation while Christ proclaimed that the only way to salvation was through faith.

@@matthewsubramani I agree with you Brother Jesus Christ is the only way. Jesus's Ministry was not in a church and made no profit from his teachings The People are the church who believe on him. The Gospel is how you get saved and know the truth. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: John 3:16 KJV 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Amen Romans 1:16KJV 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. God Bless
Yes, NT has many references to the OT which all existed before the foundation of the "Catholic Church". In fact, I can go and read from the books and scrolls that were never touched by "Catholic" authority. So explain to me, as to why, "Catholic" opinion is even remotely relevant?

What's more important, being together in falsehood or separate but still holding fast to the truth that binds all Christians to Christ, ie the life, death, resurrection of Jesus, his humanity and divinity, and his return? Jesus wants Christians to be united in his crucifixion and resurrection, but He also came to divide with a sword too. People are not perfect, so why would you trust someone when the evidence is clear that they are in the wrong?

Don’t Catholics pray to saints? That’s spiritism innit? God said in Leviticus 19:31. ‘Do not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.
Prior to medieval Christian claims in regards to the Apostles, the Pharisees had already set an example of developing doctrine based on an authoritative oral tradition allegedly having been passed down alongside Scripture from Moses himself. Moreover, despite the fact that the Pharisees were responsible for establishing the proper Old Testament canon for Israel (included in Christian Bibles), much as later Catholics claim for themselves, their assertions of tradition's authority was roundly condemned by none other than Jesus Himself: "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition!" In all of Biblical history, not one mention is made about authoritative oral tradition as a compliment to Scripture. During the Apostolic Age, both Christ and the Apostles always appealed to Scripture as the final authority for any claims or practices under consideration. This is logical since only the Apostles and Prophets were understood as authoring Scripture and therefore having such authority. Priests, though appointed by God, were always commanded to follow Scripture rather than extraneous customs. Prominent early Church Fathers recognized and honored these principles, asserting that the true Catholic Church must always act in harmony with Scripture whenever "small matters" of tradition, as St. Basil the Great (d. 379) identified such issues, aren't specifically addressed. Thus, anything truly alien to Scripture or its theological principles must be abandoned. For example, here is St. Basil describing such considerations as he experienced them in the 4th-century: "For instance, to take the first and most general example, who is there who has taught us in writing to sign with the sign of the cross those who have trusted in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ? What writing has taught us to turn to the East at the prayer? Which of the saints has left us in writing the words of the invocation at the displaying of the bread of the Eucharist and the cup of blessing? For we are not, as is well known, content with what the apostle or the Gospel has recorded, but both in preface and conclusion we add other words as being of great importance to the validity of the ministry, and these we derive from unwritten teaching. Moreover we bless the water of baptism and the oil of the chrism, and besides this the catechumen who is being baptized. On what written authority do we do this? Is not our authority silent and mystical tradition? Nay, by what written word is the anointing of oil itself taught? And whence comes the custom of baptizing thrice? And as to the other customs of baptism from what Scripture do we derive the renunciation of Satan and his angels? Does not this come from that unpublished and secret teaching which our fathers guarded in a silence out of the reach of curious meddling and inquisitive investigation? Well had they learnt the lesson that the awful dignity of the mysteries is best preserved by silence. What the uninitiated are not even allowed to look at was hardly likely to be publicly paraded about in written documents" (The Holy Spirit, 27:66). Obviously, it makes good sense that such "small matters" of tradition can be legitimately supported since Scripture and its clear principles are not violated. However, St. Basil also has this to say about Scripture and Church doctrine: "Enjoying as you do the consolation of the Holy Scriptures, you stand in need neither of my assistance nor of that of anybody else to help you to comprehend your duty. You have the all-sufficient counsel and guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead you to what is right" (Letter 283). St. Jerome (d. 420), writing in the 5th-century, likewise describes acceptable traditions as being very harmonious with Scripture: "Don't you know that the laying on of hands after baptism and then the invocation of the Holy Spirit is a custom of the Churches? Do you demand Scripture proof? (Note that what he refers to here as a custom is actually described multiple times in the Book of Acts!). And even if it did not rest on the authority of Scripture the consensus of the whole world in this respect would have the force of a command (Obviously because of very clear consistency since he used a Scriptural example of what a legitimate Church custom looks like). For many other observances of the Churches, which are due to tradition, have acquired the authority of the written law, as for instance the practice of dipping the head three times in the layer, (A neutral practice implied by Jesus's "Great Commission" formula and later found in the Didache) and then, after leaving the water, of tasting mingled milk and honey in representation of infancy (Old Testament symbols); and, again, the practices of standing up in worship on the Lord's day (Standing is in the Book of Ezra), and ceasing from fasting every Pentecost; and there are many other unwritten practices which have won their place through reason and custom. So you see we follow the practice of the Church, although it may be clear that a person was baptized before the Spirit was invoked" (Jerome, Dialogue Against the Luciferians, 8). Keeping these principles of maintaining traditions that merely illuminate explicit Scriptural doctrines in view, we can now make sense of what other early Fathers write about Scripture's unique authority.... Clement of Alexandria (d. ca. 216) said, “But those who are ready to toil in the most excellent pursuits, will not desist from the search after truth, till they get the information from the Scriptures themselves” (Stromata 7:16). Hippolytus of Rome (d. 235) said, “There is, brethren, one God, the knowledge of whom we gain from the Holy Scriptures and no other source” (Against the Heresy of One Noetus 9). Hilary of Poitiers (d. 367): “Everything that we ought to say and do, all that we need, is taught us by the Holy Scriptures ” (On the Trinity, 7:16). St. Athanasius (d. 375) said, “The Holy Scriptures, given by inspiration of God, are of themselves sufficient toward the discovery of truth. (Orat. adv. Gent., ad cap.) “The holy Scripture is of all things most sufficient for us” (To the Bishops of Egypt 1:4)." "The Catholic Christians will neither speak nor endure to hear anything in religion that is a stranger to Scripture; it being an evil heart of immodesty to speak those things which are not written,” (Exhort. ad Monachas). “Vainly then do they run about with the pretext that they have demanded Councils for the faith’s sake; for divine Scripture is sufficient above all things; but if a Council be needed on the point, there are the proceedings of the Fathers, for the Nicene Bishops did not neglect this matter, but stated the doctrine so exactly, that persons reading their words honestly, cannot but be reminded by them of the religion towards Christ announced in divine Scripture.” (De Synodis, 6). St. Basil of the Great (d. 379) said, “Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on which side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favour of that side will be cast the vote of truth” (Letter 189:3). St. Cyril of Jerusalem (d. 386) said, "We ought not to deliver even the most casual remark without the Holy Scriptures: nor be drawn aside by mere probabilities and the artifices of argument. Do not then believe me because I tell thee these things, unless thou receive from the Holy Scriptures the proof of what is set forth: for this salvation, which is of our faith, is not by ingenious reasonings, but by proof from the Holy Scriptures...Let us then speak nothing concerning the Holy Ghost but what is written; and if anything be not written, let us not busy ourselves about it. The Holy Ghost Himself spoke the Scriptures; He has also spoken concerning Himself as much as He pleased, or as much as we could receive. Be those things therefore spoken, which He has said; for whatsoever He has not said, we dare not say" (Catechetical Lectures, 4.17ff). St. Gregory of Nyssa (d. 394) said, "What then is our reply? We do not think that it is right to make their prevailing custom the law and rule of sound doctrine. For if custom is to avail for proof of soundness, we too, surely, may advance our prevailing custom; and if they reject this, we are surely not bound to follow theirs. Let the inspired Scripture, then, be our umpire, and the vote of truth will surely be given to those whose dogmas are found to agree with the Divine words (Dogmatic Treatises, Book 12. On the Trinity, To Eustathius). St. Ambrose (d. 396) said, “How can we use those things which we do not find in the Holy Scriptures?” (Ambr. Offic., 1:23). St. Augustine (d. 430) said, "For the reasonings of any men whatsoever, even though they be [true Christians], and of high reputation, are not to be treated by us in the same way as the canonical Scriptures are treated. We are at liberty, without doing any violence to the respect which these men deserve, to condemn and reject anything in their writings, if perchance we shall find that they have entertained opinions differing from that which others or we ourselves have, by the divine help, discovered to be the truth. I deal thus with the writings of others, and I wish my intelligent readers to deal thus with mine (Letters, 148.15). “For in regard to the divine and holy mysteries of the faith, not the least part may be handed on without the Holy Scriptures. Do not be led astray by winning words and clever arguments. Do not even listen to me if I tell you anything that is not supported by or found in the Scriptures” (Exposition on Psalm 119). John Cassian (d. 435): “We ought not to believe in and to admit anything whatsoever which is not in the canon of Scripture or which is found to be contrary to it” (Conferences, 14.8).

So, if you don’t think the Catholic Church believes Mary can’t save human souls, then you aren’t studying the Catechism as much as Rome wants you to.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (Scripture "thoroughly" equips us) 2 Peter 3:15-16 (Peter calls Pauls letters scripture) 1 Timothy 5:18 (quotes Luke 10:7 as scripture) My brothers and sisters in Christ, do not be mislead.
The Holy Gospel according to St John, 21:25 But there are also many other things which Jesus did which, if they were written every one, the world itself. I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written. Quod Erat Demonstrandum
This is a straw man. Solo scrip does not mean merely only scripture. It means only scripture is infallible. For example, there is revelation in earth and the world, but it is not infallible. Might be inspired, might be devine, but the means of judging is by scripture.
New testament was given by the pope Damaso the 1 in the year 382. The pope declaring it for the first time word of God and officially 27 books in canon New testament so you are right.
The unity comes when all religions are abandoned & only Christ Jesus remains. Catholicism doesn’t save us. Only Jesus saves us. Let’s leave all else behind for the sake of the gospel of Christ.

@@JC-li8kk What you say it's true, and it's false at the same time, because, just being catholic doesn't neccesarily assure your salvation, as well as being protestant or being evangelist, etc, because anyone can claim to be catholic and to even attend the holy mass, or go to confession, etc, but, if insede him, there's no true love for others, for Jesus, and he/she keeps sinning without any intention or effort to stop sinning , then of course that poor person cpould be condeemed. However you have to understand, that He left us his sacraments, our Lord Jesuchrist, he wanted an institution to be formed, to be ordered, where all his sheeps can congregate, and where, according to his mandatory, where the holly mass can take place in, which is literally reviving the sacrifice so the bread and wine turns into his flesh and blood, that's the eucharist, and he just left that power and authority to his priests, power that comes from him, our lord, but not from them. You fellow protestants sadly believe that all that was simbolic, becuase you restrain god's power and you don't even notice that, you ignore even when our Lord told his disciples to retain sins or to forgive sins, but that doesn't mean they have to power to forgive or they sacrificed or they're Goids, of course not, it's just that Our lord wanted it to be that way, to left that responsability to priests so that they decide to "forgive" or absolve a truly repented sinner of his sins, when the sinner confess them, Jesus forgive the sinner through his priest, and, the perfect and unique mediation of course is from Jesus, but whan Saint Paul meant is that any other PARALEL mediation must be excluded, meaning that there is NONE like his's, however he didn't exclude a SUBORDINATE MEDIATION, that is to say someone who can just COOPERATE with the union of men with God, when you and me pray for someone, begging the father for example to have mercy on someone, we're cooperating in that sense, and we're interceding as well, and the saints can intercede becuase, as Paul implied, by the moment he dies, HE would be next to Jesuschrist, or "with him" , if Jesus is omnipresent, the saints are also with him all the time and THATS WHY THEY CAN ALSO HEAR OUR PRAYERS, but that doesn't mean they're omnipresent or Gods, NO, it's just because Jesus make them be by his side all the time, and Jesus is the only one who is omnipresent on his own, because he's also God, "the son", and also that's something i think protestants can't accept, because of wrong interpretation of the scriptures. As the video says, there's nothing that Jesus's Church misinterpret or contradict when the scriptures are PROPERLY understood. Catholic means "UNIVERSAL", that is to say, the only one founded by our lord, with his sacraments, that there's no place for any other interpretation. If you make some little research, it was Saint Ignacio of Antioquia the one who called the early church "Catholic" for the very first time, in year 101 or 102 if i'm not wrong. Saint Ignacio was the disciple of Saint Paul and Saint Jhon, and he also was a Martyr giving his life for Christ. When we mention and defend the Catholic Church, we're not saying that it saves us while ignoring Jesus, NO, we do it because it's his precious church, with the sacraments that helps us unites us to him, still the sacraments are not foreign to him, because the eucharist is literally his flesh and blood, and biggest and most precious gift he left us, and the confession is also where He's present at, and forgive us through his priests. really making pure our souls again, lastly, my friend, just do some research, look at the great number of saints that have existed, the martyrs, all were catholics, the miracles because of their intercession, and to make it clear, they DON'T do the miracle, it's God who do the miracle but because of their intercession. look for the real cases of exorcisms, and the the apparitions and messages of our lord and the virgin mary to some saints. And yeah maybe you guys will say that those apparitions were just the demon , but, do yuou really think that the demon would say to us to stop offending God?, to convert, to repent, to do penance, to love, etcetera, do you?, and that's some things that Virgin Mary for example said in the apparition of Fatima in 1917. the ones we must reject and not trust on, are those when the demon want to lie to us contradicting the gospel.
You are also using disunity as a tool to argue against protestants and cause further disunity, we can unite with each other, I am Anglican, I watch Redeemed Zoomer who is Presbytarian, and InspiringPhilosophy who keeps his denomination secret.
I, as a traditional protestant, see where you are coming from. And I hope it's clear that Protestants are not "supportive" of church division. But here's the thing. The Catholic church is one church because they tell you how to interpret scripture. For Catholics, the church's word on a verse is final. And that's ultimately why the Catholic church doesn't have various denominations like Protestantism because there's only one body (the church) who can say what a verse means and how it applies to EVERYONE. The reason why Protestantism has so many denominations is because we are free to look at The Bible as individuals and form our own interpretations. Now is that perfect? No. Many people have blatantly heretical interpretations or take Biblical authority less seriously when reading it. But that also means the way the Catholic church interprets The Bible isn't perfect either. The church is made up of sinners. Each and every one of us are sinners and because of that we don't get everything right. But the underlying truth is that you must seek what the Bible is actually trying to say and not just take the church's word for me because the church is still flawed. One last thing, while Protestantism is very divided. The traditional denominations all agree on the essentials. Salvation by faith alone, through grace alone. And The Bible is our only infallible authority
@@Proverbs27_17 The Catholic Church complied the Bible. It’s is not an opinion it is a HISTORICAL FACT. The canon of the Catholic Church was affirmed by the Council of Rome (AD 382), the Synod of Hippo (AD 393), two of the Councils of Carthage (AD 397 and 419), the Council of Florence (AD 1431-1449) and finally, as an article of faith, by the Council of Trent (AD 1545-1563). Father Ludovico Antonio Muratori (A CATHOLIC PRIEST)- the most famous Italian historian of his era - discovered the Muratorian fragment in the Ambrosian Library of Milan and published it in 1740. The Muratorian Fragment itself can be traced back to the 7th century, a Latin manuscript from the library of the Bobbio Abbey, a monastery of Saint Columbanus. However, the Latin manuscript is actually a translation from the Greek original dated to 170 A.D., making it the earliest known copy of a New Testament canon. The Catholic Church has been teaching and reading the Bible for 1,500 years longer than protestants. protestants have no sacred tradition 😢
@@Proverbs27_17Don't ever ask anyone pray for you or your loved ones, since according to you that's "not Christian". Saints and Holy Mother of God live and with Christ in the Heaven and by praying to, you ask them them to pray for you. If they are not alive, then Christianity is false
This sounds very intelligent, like that fact that protestants univocally agree that the Scriptures alone are the authority but then every one of them is interpreting the Bible in their own way so that Protestants broke into thousands of denominations. However, the issue is that it is the same with Orthodox Church. I follow the Russian Orthodox channels on a regular basis because I speak Russian and I can tell you they are full of their own sects who call each other heretics. I believe it is the same with the Catholics, it sounds nice that they are one church but if you dig a little deeper you will see many sects in it that believe their own doctrines.
that's what MASS is all about .The word of God. It's like a stage set up reacting the life of Christ. From the beginning of God our Creator . God of the old testament to new testament and of today. The bible,the word of God is read every single day in the church at every mass. Old testament, the Gospel and one of the letters of the apostles. a sermon is followed with a teaching on the gosple and reference from the old testament , new testament . How much more spirituality graced can you be blessed daily other then go from mass and proclaim the good news we hear every day....the catholic church is rich in Gods word and it teaches the bible daily to those who have ears and listen.😊❤
The MASS follows the ENTIRE BIBLE WITHIN A 3 YEAR CYCLE THAT THEN REPEATS... DAILY MASS ... 365 DAYS OF THE YEAR... 3YEAR CYCLE. PLEASE DON'T SAY ... CATHOLICS DON'T KNOW SCRIPTURE. TRUE CATHOLICISM ... IS SCRIPTURE.

In the beginning there was the spirit of a beast that identified with its surroundings using a sound that came from within, within him also came art, pictography and music, but sound was invisible without a body, a picture or an image, so notes were designed to go with this sound to identify with it, thus giving the Spirit a body in the flesh that would be visible. The Harp -ABCDEFG. God major the RULING father notes of man’s mind, body and spirit.
Commandments were made for best practices and use of this new found art for the beast had taken its spirit and put it into the flesh where rules where needed to avoid conflicting the spirit.

@@MightyMatthew777 Amen .
What is not taught often , is the following :
Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Died like all the earthy image shall die. From dust thou are , to dust thow shall return. The earthy image was first .
Than received a heavenly image like a Angel ore a figure like a man , even a ghost. A ghost can only be one image , as the image he was as a earthy man.
Now this heavenly image of a man is k own as the right hand / strong hand / even hands of God. Not only that , he is the Angel with the LORD'S NAME in him .
Exodus 23:20-22 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
1. I send an Angel before thee , and my NAME is in him.
2. Obey his voice, and do all that I speak.
Meaning , whatever the Angel spoke , that was the LORD speaking.
Genesis 18:1-3 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
Genesis 18:22-27 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
1. Two men turned towards Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot met them as two angels the next chapter.
2. Behold now, I spoke unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes.
3. The LORD appeared as three men . Two left as angels that looks like men. With one, Abraham reasoned with , yet the Lord was nothing but Ash and dust. 3. Meaning whatever this Angel /person spoke , was the voice of the LORD in a image like a man.

Hebrews wrote the Bible under inspiration of God the Holy Spirit . No church denomination has claim to the ownership of the Bible .It's written to believers in the Lord Jesus Christ .
The Bible was written by many authors. Let's talk abou the New Testament. Which books are inspired and which are not? You need an authority. The Bible didn't fall from the sky. The Catholic Church has compiled the inspired books under Holy Spirit guidance.
I invite you to go to a Catholic church and tell a priest all your doubts. Love
I left the Catholic Church years ago because everything they did is unscriptural. I could point out so many things that the Catholic Church did they did not conform to the word of God. Basically the Catholic Church is traditions of men and not of God.
@@edge2sword186 completely incorrect. Jesus established the Catholic Church and you have left it. Just because you don’t understand the teachings of the Catholic Church that doesn’t mean you should leave it and try to guide yourself. You have become a sheep without a shepherd, and have abandoned the Eucharist.
"Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God.... They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes" (Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6:2-7:1 [A.D. 110]).
Ignatius of Antioch on the Eucharist who is the student of the apostle John and likely knew other apostles.
Ultimately you left the rock on which Jesus built his church, as did martin Luther over a thousand years after Jesus established the church. Which is why you have thousands of Protestant denominations teaching a million different interpretations. Come back, stop with the silliness.
And how do you think the Bible was compiled? How do you think the books of the Canon were decided on? It was an ecumenical council that decided this. A meeting of the bishops.
@@RJJ-yn1zh It is compiled from Hebrew Writers that God used .The Ethiopian predates your Catholic bible .As Catholics we were taught not to read the bible so what's your point ?
Why is it Catholics think that compiling scripture that was already considered the Word of God into one book is equal to creating the scriptures? Sola Scriptura does not mean that the Bible is our only authority, but it is the only infallible authority. There is nothing wrong with authority that comes from the church fathers, bishops, pastors or priests but it doesn’t outrank the scriptures and cannot contradict the scriptures. The reason the reformation happened was due to the institution of the Catholic Church selling indulgences, torturing and burning people at the stake for daring to own a Bible in English among other corruptions that completely contradicted the Holy Word of God. The Catholic Church split the Church by excommunicating faithful people who dared to question the authority of the church as opposed to the authority of scripture.
The whole thing reeks of pharisitical pride.
P.S. I have no clue if "pharisitical" is actually a word 😅
This is *chefs kiss* 🤌
It baffles me that Catholics are so disgusted with the reformation, when in reality the reformation set so many crucial things into motion. Without it, we wouldn't have the same rights we do today. The first few pilgrims on the mayflower traveled to the United States in search of religious freedom and better opportunities. The ideas behind the reformation are the same ideas that were fundamental in the establishment of our constitution. Free will, the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, the right to defend yourself and your property (2nd ammendment), the right to freedom of speech and the right of religious freedom and expression are just some examples of those core ideals and they are all based on scripture as well. These Christian principles that were made popular during the reformation also led to the abolition of slavery and the civil rights movement in this country later on. The reformation also led to the translation of the Bible into common languages such as English and thanks to that, Christianity has made its way across the entire world. It has made a huge impact on the faith of so many allowing people to understand what it is they actually believe. My grandparents have told me many stories of them growing up going to Catholic mass back when it was all in Latin. Nobody understood anything and they left mass with no spiritual food or guidance. They did what they were told, followed the rules but left church sometimes more broken then they arrived. Thanks to the reformation people now understand the gospel. They understand the truth and the impact of Jesus Christ's teachings and what He did on Earth and it has made all the difference. God has a purpose for everything ❤
The RCC has a problem with the reformation because it is in bed with left wing politicians and authorities. It is in bed with the LTBQ+ community. Priests are often caught in gay affairs and child sex. Enough said
Which in turn is that Hypocritical contradiction of Scripture. The Word👈of God 👈.
All Catholics should read and understand and accept these verses.
Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, [9] not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
1 John 5:13 ESV
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.
John 3:16 ESV
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

@@SDSwampert The bible itself is the Word of God. However, if you do not believe that the Church, the Apostles and their successors are guided by the Holy Spirit to interpret scripture, and that they are just sinful individuals leading others astray, then you have to be rejecting the Lord's will for the church to be one, rejecting his words to Peter, "Upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of Hades will not prevail". If there were no truly infallible interpreter guided by the Holy Spirit for this infallible book, then all denominations, spread throughout due to their own interpretations, are open to error. Which then denys our Lord's PROMISE. I beg you to please reflect upon what it is that I am saying, and to look toward the early Church Fathers and explore their teachings. God bless you.
@@TheAwesomemike1 that quote is the only thing that Catholics use to point towards the papacy. Nowhere else in scripture does it reference anyone being the head of the church, or if Peter has the right to pass down his authority to any successors. It's debatable whether or not the "rock" statement was even referring to Peter, it's possible that Jesus was actually talking about the fact that he was the Christ, the son of the living God, and that was the foundation on which the church would be built. Regardless, even if he was referring to Peter, he never said anything about him or his descendants having perfect divine authority on earth, and I think if you look back on the many controversies of past popes as well as the current one, you can see that they are not infallible, and that is what Catholic Papal authority is built upon. Remember that in the Middle Ages the Catholic Church actively discouraged the populace from reading their Bibles, claiming that the clergy, specifically the Pope, alone had the ability to properly discern scripture, and this led to many abuses of Papal privileges, such as indulgences. I think that most Catholics are people I would call brothers and sisters in Christ, but the organization of the Catholic Church has some very serious issues with its handling of scripture.

I am an Orthodox myself but the protestants should not really be talking about the Bible while removing 10 perfectly normal and holy books for no reason at all
Martin Luther removed 7 books.
They removed 7 actually, and now have 66 books of the bible. Kind of an eerie number also.
They removed 7, but yeah it confuses me when protestantism loves to go yell about things being unscriptural while following some deranged German heresiarch’s demands to cut the bible short.
Even as a Catholic I can at least respect that the Orthodox remember that sacred tradition is an integral part to the faith and that abandonment of tradition leads to a complete breakdown.
Prior to the reformation, schisms were large scale but rare, with centuries between the schism of the Oriental Orthodox and Chalcedonian Christianity and the great schism of 1054, and the breakaway churches all retained episcopal polity. Even we Catholics do not question the validity, though not the liceity, of Orthodox apostolic succession. Meanwhile many Protestants have abandoned a formal priesthood and basically create a new denomination every tuesday over someone finding a newer way to be even more wrong.
It’s actually 7, and the reasons why are pretty simple and clear if you read them!!

And Peter was also clearly the chief apostle and his voice was the voice of the apostles and to him were first and primarily given the keys to bind and loose by the power of the keys and then later the other apostles and likewise by the laying on of hands to the bishops who succeeded them. So we are bound to the apostles bound to the keys of St. Peter and those who as his successors hold the keys. This is the institution of Jesus to guarantee the unity of the church under the apostolic authority.

Historically. The catholic church did provide it. Those books in your bible were all selected and compiled by the church. No where in the Bible does it in name the 27 books of the nt, so you have nothing telling you the gospel of peter is one of thr 4 gospels and not john. It was the catholic church that finalized and declared what were the books we would believe to be the word of God.
The fruit of sola scriptura is what is practiced in some mainline protestant churches like gay marriage, gay pastors, acceptance of abortion and many other anti Christian teachings. Not all protestants, but the ones that conform to this world. It is sad to see the our Christian brothers and sister not agreeing with one another. I pray for unity within the Christian faith. The pillar and foundation of truth is the church and there was only one church in 32 AD. The church that Jesus started is still here today and it has some very old traditions, the Catholic Church.

Orthodox here good job brother
The Bible is not a Catholic book but an amalgamation of multiple books that were decided upon by different councils when the church was still united. This means that the Bible was not created by the Catholic Church alone, but also by the Orthodox Church when they were still united.
The process of selecting which books to include in the Bible began in the early Christian church, where there was no official canon or list of accepted books. Different Christian communities had different collections of writings that they considered authoritative and inspired by God.
Over time, various councils and leaders within the church debated which books should be considered part of the Bible. The Council of Carthage in 397 AD is often cited as one of the earliest examples of a council that confirmed a list of books for the Bible. However, it is important to note that this was not a Catholic council but a council of bishops from North Africa.

The pope is not infallible, he is a sinner. Mary was a righteous women but was also a sinner, and had other children after virgin birth of Jesus.

The pope is infallible when speaking ex cathedra, and the Virgin Mary had no other children. Show me where in the Bible does it say that she bore other children.
Mary did not have individual sin, only ancestral sin
You completely misunderstand what papal infallibility is as a concept. He is only infallible when speaking ex cathedra on matters concerning faith and morals in an absolute manner without exceptions. Papal infallibility does not mean we believe the pope to be without sin. To assume we believe that means you have no idea what Catholics believe.
Mary, the blessed God-bearer, was not a sinner and to insinuate that is an idea so blasphemous I wouldn’t even catch a Moslem making such a claim.

And when protestants first proposed their theories about accretionism and successionism to explain how the Church supposedly became corrupted yet how right doctrine was transmitted from the early Church to that time, they did so without any evidence
What doctrine? Apostles never said mass, never claimed Christ could be put in the wafer, never prayed to Mry and saints.

Now they were wrong and were lying about their assertions which is one reason why nobody makes that argument anymore. And things that sit outside the Bible like the canon, where did you get that?

If you need the infallibility of the Catholic Church to define what is and isn’t Scripture, then how did the New Testament authors & their audience know that the Old Testament is Scripture?
The New Testament authors were inspired by God.

We need a authority: the Catholic Church.
There isn’t a part of the Bible that says which books are inspired so how do you know them (specially the New Testament)?

The mistake that Roman Catholic apologists make is claiming that the Bible is an authoritative list of books. They then posit that the leaders of the Catholic Church had the authority to choose which books were canonical and which were not. The Bible, however, is not an authoritative list of books, but rather a list of authoritative books. The Catholic Church did not give authority to the books, because the books were inspired by God, and therefore had their own authority when they were written. So the Church simple recognized the authority that was already present in those books. The books of the Bible were not authoritative because they were chosen by the Church, but rather were chosen because because they already were authoritative. To quote J. I. Packer: “The Church no more gave us the New Testament canon than Sir Isaac Newton gave us the force of gravity.” Newton did create gravity, but simply recognized it. It didn’t take two councils at the end of the 4th century to determine which books were authoritative. In his Easter Letter of 367, Athanasius recognized the 27 books of the New Testament. The council’s of Carthage and Hippo merely later endorsed what was already recognized by the churches.
As regards needing an authoritative interpretation of Scripture, how many verses of the Bible has the R. Catholic Church given an infallible interpretation? Well, Jimmy Aiken says six, Father Rumble says 16, Heinrich Denzinger' says seven, and Marcellino D’Abrosio also lists seven. Even if one agrees with Rumble, there's a whole lot of Scripture that the R. C. Church has not infallibly interpreted. And as regards authoritative interpretation, the Hebrews had no Jewish "pope" or "magisterium" to provide infallible interpretation, and God seems to have had no problem with that.
As to Sola Scriptura not being found in the Bible, only Scripture is said to be God-breathed, whereas tradition never is. IITim. 3:16 says, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." Is preaching the Gospel a good work? Then Scripture is sufficient to teach the Good News, and therefore no need to elevate tradition or participate in sacraments which are not found in Scripture and not confirmed until 1215. Sola Scripture simply means that only Scripture is infallible, and that the Bible is our ultimate source.
And as to this claim that Sola Scripture has caused great splintering among Protestant churches, it would be disingenuous to claim that the R. C. Church is of one accord. Just look at Francis and what he says and writes; many Catholic leaders disagree with the man who claims to be the vicar of Christ. There have been many independent Catholic denominations which have identified as Catholic but are/were not in communion with the "Holy See": Apostolic Catholic Church, Apostles of Infinite Love, Argentine Catholic Apostolic Church, Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church, Palmarian Christian Church, Philippine Independent Church, Traditionalist Mexican-American Catholic Church, Venezuelan Catholic Apostolic Church, American Catholic Church in the United States, American Catholic Church (1915), American National Catholic Church, Community Catholic Church of Canada, Canonical Old Roman Catholic Church, Catholic Apostolic Church of Antioch, Christ Catholic Church, Ecumenical Catholic Church, Ecumenical Catholic Church of Christ, Ecumenical Catholic Communion, Imani Temple African-American Catholic Congregation, Mexican National Catholic Church, North American Old Catholic Church, Old Roman Catholic Church in Great Britain, Liberal Catholic Church (Province of the United States of America), Liberal Catholic Church International, and The Young Rite. So much for "Catholic unity."

Agreed. I would further say that calling other “churches” communities is the truth of the matter. There is only one Church: the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, Ordained by Christ at Pentecost. Outside of which we know is no salvation.

You find salvation in Christ, not in the Catholic Church

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Yes, NT has many references to the OT which all existed before the foundation of the "Catholic Church". In fact, I can go and read from the books and scrolls that were never touched by "Catholic" authority. So explain to me, as to why, "Catholic" opinion is even remotely relevant?
If the Bible is a Catholic book why does it disprove Catholicism? Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly states that we are saved by faith alone
The only time the Bible has the words “faith alone” is with the words “not by” in front of it. James 2:24

@@daniscarantino bro are u saying the Bible is contradicting itself cuz that seems like the only point you're going for
@@CalebBahamundi I could argue the same thing for you. Ephesians 2:8-9 does not say “faith alone” but rather that the initial act of us being saved it by grace through faith.

Hence the scripture I referred you to by my last reply.
What's more important, being together in falsehood or separate but still holding fast to the truth that binds all Christians to Christ, ie the life, death, resurrection of Jesus, his humanity and divinity, and his return? Jesus wants Christians to be united in his crucifixion and resurrection, but He also came to divide with a sword too. People are not perfect, so why would you trust someone when the evidence is clear that they are in the wrong?

Prior to medieval Christian claims in regards to the Apostles, the Pharisees had already set an example of developing doctrine based on an authoritative oral tradition allegedly having been passed down alongside Scripture from Moses himself.
Moreover, despite the fact that the Pharisees were responsible for establishing the proper Old Testament canon for Israel (included in Christian Bibles), much as later Catholics claim for themselves, their assertions of tradition's authority was roundly condemned by none other than Jesus Himself: "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition!"
In all of Biblical history, not one mention is made about authoritative oral tradition as a compliment to Scripture. During the Apostolic Age, both Christ and the Apostles always appealed to Scripture as the final authority for any claims or practices under consideration. This is logical since only the Apostles and Prophets were understood as authoring Scripture and therefore having such authority. Priests, though appointed by God, were always commanded to follow Scripture rather than extraneous customs.
Prominent early Church Fathers recognized and honored these principles, asserting that the true Catholic Church must always act in harmony with Scripture whenever "small matters" of tradition, as St. Basil the Great (d. 379) identified such issues, aren't specifically addressed. Thus, anything truly alien to Scripture or its theological principles must be abandoned.
For example, here is St. Basil describing such considerations as he experienced them in the 4th-century: "For instance, to take the first and most general example, who is there who has taught us in writing to sign with the sign of the cross those who have trusted in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ? What writing has taught us to turn to the East at the prayer? Which of the saints has left us in writing the words of the invocation at the displaying of the bread of the Eucharist and the cup of blessing? For we are not, as is well known, content with what the apostle or the Gospel has recorded, but both in preface and conclusion we add other words as being of great importance to the validity of the ministry, and these we derive from unwritten teaching. Moreover we bless the water of baptism and the oil of the chrism, and besides this the catechumen who is being baptized. On what written authority do we do this? Is not our authority silent and mystical tradition? Nay, by what written word is the anointing of oil itself taught? And whence comes the custom of baptizing thrice? And as to the other customs of baptism from what Scripture do we derive the renunciation of Satan and his angels? Does not this come from that unpublished and secret teaching which our fathers guarded in a silence out of the reach of curious meddling and inquisitive investigation? Well had they learnt the lesson that the awful dignity of the mysteries is best preserved by silence. What the uninitiated are not even allowed to look at was hardly likely to be publicly paraded about in written documents" (The Holy Spirit, 27:66).
Obviously, it makes good sense that such "small matters" of tradition can be legitimately supported since Scripture and its clear principles are not violated. However, St. Basil also has this to say about Scripture and Church doctrine: "Enjoying as you do the consolation of the Holy Scriptures, you stand in need neither of my assistance nor of that of anybody else to help you to comprehend your duty. You have the all-sufficient counsel and guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead you to what is right" (Letter 283).
St. Jerome (d. 420), writing in the 5th-century, likewise describes acceptable traditions as being very harmonious with Scripture: "Don't you know that the laying on of hands after baptism and then the invocation of the Holy Spirit is a custom of the Churches? Do you demand Scripture proof? (Note that what he refers to here as a custom is actually described multiple times in the Book of Acts!). And even if it did not rest on the authority of Scripture the consensus of the whole world in this respect would have the force of a command (Obviously because of very clear consistency since he used a Scriptural example of what a legitimate Church custom looks like). For many other observances of the Churches, which are due to tradition, have acquired the authority of the written law, as for instance the practice of dipping the head three times in the layer, (A neutral practice implied by Jesus's "Great Commission" formula and later found in the Didache) and then, after leaving the water, of tasting mingled milk and honey in representation of infancy (Old Testament symbols); and, again, the practices of standing up in worship on the Lord's day (Standing is in the Book of Ezra), and ceasing from fasting every Pentecost; and there are many other unwritten practices which have won their place through reason and custom. So you see we follow the practice of the Church, although it may be clear that a person was baptized before the Spirit was invoked" (Jerome, Dialogue Against the Luciferians, 8).
Keeping these principles of maintaining traditions that merely illuminate explicit Scriptural doctrines in view, we can now make sense of what other early Fathers write about Scripture's unique authority....
Clement of Alexandria (d. ca. 216) said, “But those who are ready to toil in the most excellent pursuits, will not desist from the search after truth, till they get the information from the Scriptures themselves” (Stromata 7:16).
Hippolytus of Rome (d. 235) said, “There is, brethren, one God, the knowledge of whom we gain from the Holy Scriptures and no other source” (Against the Heresy of One Noetus 9).
Hilary of Poitiers (d. 367): “Everything that we ought to say and do, all that we need, is taught us by the Holy Scriptures ” (On the Trinity, 7:16).
St. Athanasius (d. 375) said, “The Holy Scriptures, given by inspiration of God, are of themselves sufficient toward the discovery of truth. (Orat. adv. Gent., ad cap.) “The holy Scripture is of all things most sufficient for us” (To the Bishops of Egypt 1:4)." "The Catholic Christians will neither speak nor endure to hear anything in religion that is a stranger to Scripture; it being an evil heart of immodesty to speak those things which are not written,” (Exhort. ad Monachas). “Vainly then do they run about with the pretext that they have demanded Councils for the faith’s sake; for divine Scripture is sufficient above all things; but if a Council be needed on the point, there are the proceedings of the Fathers, for the Nicene Bishops did not neglect this matter, but stated the doctrine so exactly, that persons reading their words honestly, cannot but be reminded by them of the religion towards Christ announced in divine Scripture.” (De Synodis, 6).
St. Basil of the Great (d. 379) said, “Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on which side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favour of that side will be cast the vote of truth” (Letter 189:3).
St. Cyril of Jerusalem (d. 386) said, "We ought not to deliver even the most casual remark without the Holy Scriptures: nor be drawn aside by mere probabilities and the artifices of argument. Do not then believe me because I tell thee these things, unless thou receive from the Holy Scriptures the proof of what is set forth: for this salvation, which is of our faith, is not by ingenious reasonings, but by proof from the Holy Scriptures...Let us then speak nothing concerning the Holy Ghost but what is written; and if anything be not written, let us not busy ourselves about it. The Holy Ghost Himself spoke the Scriptures; He has also spoken concerning Himself as much as He pleased, or as much as we could receive. Be those things therefore spoken, which He has said; for whatsoever He has not said, we dare not say" (Catechetical Lectures, 4.17ff).
St. Gregory of Nyssa (d. 394) said, "What then is our reply? We do not think that it is right to make their prevailing custom the law and rule of sound doctrine. For if custom is to avail for proof of soundness, we too, surely, may advance our prevailing custom; and if they reject this, we are surely not bound to follow theirs. Let the inspired Scripture, then, be our umpire, and the vote of truth will surely be given to those whose dogmas are found to agree with the Divine words (Dogmatic Treatises, Book 12. On the Trinity, To Eustathius).
St. Ambrose (d. 396) said, “How can we use those things which we do not find in the Holy Scriptures?” (Ambr. Offic., 1:23).
St. Augustine (d. 430) said, "For the reasonings of any men whatsoever, even though they be [true Christians], and of high reputation, are not to be treated by us in the same way as the canonical Scriptures are treated. We are at liberty, without doing any violence to the respect which these men deserve, to condemn and reject anything in their writings, if perchance we shall find that they have entertained opinions differing from that which others or we ourselves have, by the divine help, discovered to be the truth. I deal thus with the writings of others, and I wish my intelligent readers to deal thus with mine (Letters, 148.15). “For in regard to the divine and holy mysteries of the faith, not the least part may be handed on without the Holy Scriptures. Do not be led astray by winning words and clever arguments. Do not even listen to me if I tell you anything that is not supported by or found in the Scriptures” (Exposition on Psalm 119).
John Cassian (d. 435): “We ought not to believe in and to admit anything whatsoever which is not in the canon of Scripture or which is found to be contrary to it” (Conferences, 14.8).

My reply to your comment refuting it wouldn’t do any good because I can tell there’s a disconnect in understanding
That is a common lie taught by the education system and atheistic professors like many others, if you read what is written about indulgences back then it shows that they were very rare and the salr of them were banned and before that looked down upon
It also tells us Jesus is the only way and only truth, not the pope, not Mary or the saints. We should trust the word of God not the church leaders and priests who add onto scripture and tell us we can pay to get family members out of purgatory 🤦♀️

The Catechism of the Catholic Church DOES say “Being obedient she became the cause of salvation for herself and the whole human race…” (#494). She is NOT the cause of salvation. She was the vessel God used to bring His Son to incarnation. This does NOT make Mary the CAUSE of Salvation!! Only Jesus saves!
That same paragraph goes on to say, “Death through Eve, life through Mary.” BLASPHEMOUS!!
Death through Satan, life through JESUS CHRIST!!! He died for us. Mary didn’t.
This religion simply cannot recognize Mary the same way God recognizes her - as blessed and favored to carry His Son for nine months, but not as the cause of salvation! That was her divine role - to bear God incarnate! The rest is JESUS and HIS atoning sacrifice for our sins by grace through faith in HIM!
So, if you don’t think the Catholic Church believes Mary can’t save human souls, then you aren’t studying the Catechism as much as Rome wants you to.
Maybe that’s a blessing since Paul commanded us “not to go beyond what is written.” He was referring to The Word, The inspired Word. Not the uninspired writing of a mere human in Rome.

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. - Ephesians 2:8
He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit. - Titus 3:5
Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” - John 6:28
O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Did you suffer so many things in vain-if indeed it was in vain? Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith. - Galatians 3
For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. - Romans 10:3

@@JC-li8kk What you say it's true, and it's false at the same time, because, just being catholic doesn't neccesarily assure your salvation, as well as being protestant or being evangelist, etc, because anyone can claim to be catholic and to even attend the holy mass, or go to confession, etc, but, if insede him, there's no true love for others, for Jesus, and he/she keeps sinning without any intention or effort to stop sinning , then of course that poor person cpould be condeemed. However you have to understand, that He left us his sacraments, our Lord Jesuchrist, he wanted an institution to be formed, to be ordered, where all his sheeps can congregate, and where, according to his mandatory, where the holly mass can take place in, which is literally reviving the sacrifice so the bread and wine turns into his flesh and blood, that's the eucharist, and he just left that power and authority to his priests, power that comes from him, our lord, but not from them. You fellow protestants sadly believe that all that was simbolic, becuase you restrain god's power and you don't even notice that, you ignore even when our Lord told his disciples to retain sins or to forgive sins, but that doesn't mean they have to power to forgive or they sacrificed or they're Goids, of course not, it's just that Our lord wanted it to be that way, to left that responsability to priests so that they decide to "forgive" or absolve a truly repented sinner of his sins, when the sinner confess them, Jesus forgive the sinner through his priest, and, the perfect and unique mediation of course is from Jesus, but whan Saint Paul meant is that any other PARALEL mediation must be excluded, meaning that there is NONE like his's, however he didn't exclude a SUBORDINATE MEDIATION, that is to say someone who can just COOPERATE with the union of men with God, when you and me pray for someone, begging the father for example to have mercy on someone, we're cooperating in that sense, and we're interceding as well, and the saints can intercede becuase, as Paul implied, by the moment he dies, HE would be next to Jesuschrist, or "with him" , if Jesus is omnipresent, the saints are also with him all the time and THATS WHY THEY CAN ALSO HEAR OUR PRAYERS, but that doesn't mean they're omnipresent or Gods, NO, it's just because Jesus make them be by his side all the time, and Jesus is the only one who is omnipresent on his own, because he's also God, "the son", and also that's something i think protestants can't accept, because of wrong interpretation of the scriptures. As the video says, there's nothing that Jesus's Church misinterpret or contradict when the scriptures are PROPERLY understood. Catholic means "UNIVERSAL", that is to say, the only one founded by our lord, with his sacraments, that there's no place for any other interpretation. If you make some little research, it was Saint Ignacio of Antioquia the one who called the early church "Catholic" for the very first time, in year 101 or 102 if i'm not wrong. Saint Ignacio was the disciple of Saint Paul and Saint Jhon, and he also was a Martyr giving his life for Christ. When we mention and defend the Catholic Church, we're not saying that it saves us while ignoring Jesus, NO, we do it because it's his precious church, with the sacraments that helps us unites us to him, still the sacraments are not foreign to him, because the eucharist is literally his flesh and blood, and biggest and most precious gift he left us, and the confession is also where He's present at, and forgive us through his priests. really making pure our souls again, lastly, my friend, just do some research, look at the great number of saints that have existed, the martyrs, all were catholics, the miracles because of their intercession, and to make it clear, they DON'T do the miracle, it's God who do the miracle but because of their intercession. look for the real cases of exorcisms, and the
the apparitions and messages of our lord and the virgin mary to some saints. And yeah maybe you guys will say that those apparitions were just the demon , but, do yuou really think that the demon would say to us to stop offending God?, to convert, to repent, to do penance, to love, etcetera, do you?, and that's some things that Virgin Mary for example said in the apparition of Fatima in 1917. the ones we must reject and not trust on, are those when the demon want to lie to us contradicting the gospel.
Simple yet powerful explication. Thank you for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
God Bless you more Brother. May our living God give you long live to spread our faith.
You are also using disunity as a tool to argue against protestants and cause further disunity, we can unite with each other, I am Anglican, I watch Redeemed Zoomer who is Presbytarian, and InspiringPhilosophy who keeps his denomination secret.
The fact that there are so many protestant denominations should tell you something
"The fact that the schism of the Catholic Church occurred should tell you something"
You mean Christian
Exactly
@@HappyHermitt No, I meant protestant. To me being Christian means worshipping the same way the early church did and believing in the same doctrines.
I, as a traditional protestant, see where you are coming from. And I hope it's clear that Protestants are not "supportive" of church division. But here's the thing. The Catholic church is one church because they tell you how to interpret scripture. For Catholics, the church's word on a verse is final. And that's ultimately why the Catholic church doesn't have various denominations like Protestantism because there's only one body (the church) who can say what a verse means and how it applies to EVERYONE. The reason why Protestantism has so many denominations is because we are free to look at The Bible as individuals and form our own interpretations. Now is that perfect? No. Many people have blatantly heretical interpretations or take Biblical authority less seriously when reading it. But that also means the way the Catholic church interprets The Bible isn't perfect either. The church is made up of sinners. Each and every one of us are sinners and because of that we don't get everything right. But the underlying truth is that you must seek what the Bible is actually trying to say and not just take the church's word for me because the church is still flawed.
One last thing, while Protestantism is very divided. The traditional denominations all agree on the essentials. Salvation by faith alone, through grace alone. And The Bible is our only infallible authority
Praise God, I’m happy the Holy Spirit has led me to the Catholic Church. 🙏🏻
As soon as you see prayer to mary, joseph, any of the saints, know thats not from the Holy Spirit & run in the other direction.
Protestantism leads to moral relativism, social atomization and, on time, to posmodernism.@@Proverbs27_17
@@Proverbs27_17 The Catholic Church complied the Bible. It’s is not an opinion it is a HISTORICAL FACT.
The canon of the Catholic Church was affirmed by the Council of Rome (AD 382), the Synod of Hippo (AD 393), two of the Councils of Carthage (AD 397 and 419), the Council of Florence (AD 1431-1449) and finally, as an article of faith, by the Council of Trent (AD 1545-1563).
Father Ludovico Antonio Muratori (A CATHOLIC PRIEST)- the most famous Italian historian of his era - discovered the Muratorian fragment in the Ambrosian Library of Milan and published it in 1740. The Muratorian Fragment itself can be traced back to the 7th century, a Latin manuscript from the library of the Bobbio Abbey, a monastery of Saint Columbanus. However, the Latin manuscript is actually a translation from the Greek original dated to 170 A.D., making it the earliest known copy of a New Testament canon.
The Catholic Church has been teaching and reading the Bible for 1,500 years longer than protestants. protestants have no sacred tradition 😢
@@Proverbs27_17Don't ever ask anyone pray for you or your loved ones, since according to you that's "not Christian". Saints and Holy Mother of God live and with Christ in the Heaven and by praying to, you ask them them to pray for you. If they are not alive, then Christianity is false
I('ve) been thinking about this. I('ve) been thinking about this alot.
This sounds very intelligent, like that fact that protestants univocally agree that the Scriptures alone are the authority but then every one of them is interpreting the Bible in their own way so that Protestants broke into thousands of denominations.
However, the issue is that it is the same with Orthodox Church. I follow the Russian Orthodox channels on a regular basis because I speak Russian and I can tell you they are full of their own sects who call each other heretics. I believe it is the same with the Catholics, it sounds nice that they are one church but if you dig a little deeper you will see many sects in it that believe their own doctrines.
Leading many astray! Having a form of Godliness… Establishing the Devine feminine which God never ever condones in his word.
God bless you brother music to my heart
that's what MASS is all about .The word of God.
It's like a stage set up reacting the life of Christ.
From the beginning of God our Creator .
God of the old testament to new testament and of today. The bible,the word of God is read every single day in the church at every mass.
Old testament, the Gospel and one of the letters of the apostles. a sermon is followed with a teaching on
the gosple and reference from the old testament , new testament . How much more spirituality graced can you be blessed daily other then go from mass and proclaim the good news we hear every day....the catholic church is rich in Gods word and it teaches the bible daily to those who have ears and listen.😊❤
yes, but The Mass is the GREAT SACRIFICE .
The MASS follows the ENTIRE BIBLE WITHIN A 3 YEAR CYCLE THAT THEN REPEATS...
DAILY MASS ... 365 DAYS OF THE YEAR... 3YEAR CYCLE.
PLEASE DON'T SAY ... CATHOLICS DON'T KNOW SCRIPTURE.
TRUE CATHOLICISM ... IS
SCRIPTURE.
The mass is unbiblical because Christ was sacrificed ONCE for all ! For one, the pope is not the vicar of Christ on earth.....
Like Purgatory, The Immaculate Conception, prayers to Mary, transubstantiation at communion, excluding priests to marry.
Right ho! Thorough biblical doctrines.
