It is good to hear from someone that knows what and how I learned in the Catholic Church. That life begins Outside the Catholic Church/ Life with Jesus Christ!!
Mary....I would like to hear from other RCC women. I am 57 and think I've finally left, however I struggle with feeling Evangelical services are worship. Doesn't feel as reverent. Pray for me please!
K M Give it time, I was Catholic for42 years, and now I am 55. It took years to find a church that was not a religion (The devils playground) but now, I actually have a relationship with Christ. Never could say that as a Catholic. Well, I guess I may have said it, but did not really understand it. Now I do.
K M ...please know that you’re being prayed for! It took me a long time to figure out who I was after leaving the Catholic Church. I knew I was saved, but Protestants spoke a completely different language than I was used to. BUT....just stay in God’s Word. He will lead you & direct you. Plus, worship isn’t irrelevant, it’s just different in Protestant churches. In time, you will feel more comfortable, so hang in there. And know that people are praying. Blessings.....
Leaving Gods Holy Catholic Church is to withdraw from Jesus ..... The first church-its growth, doctrine, and practices-were recorded for us in the New Testament. Jesus, as well as His apostles, foretold that false teachers would arise, and indeed it is apparent from some of the New Testament epistles that these apostles had to fight against false teachers early on. Having a pedigree of apostolic succession or being able to trace a church’s roots back to the "first church" is important to show true consistency for being the true church. What is given is repeated comparisons between what false teachers teach and what the first church taught, as recorded in Scripture. Whether a church is the "true church" or not is also determined by comparing its teachings and practices to that of the New Testament church, as recorded in Scripture. For instance, in Acts 20:17-38, the Apostle Paul has an opportunity to talk to the church leaders in the large city of Ephesus one last time face to face. In that passage, he tells them that false teachers will not only come among them but will come FROM them (vv. 29-30). Paul commits them to the safekeeping of "God and to the word of His grace" (v. 32). Thus, truth could also be determined by depending upon God and "the word of His grace" (i.e., Scripture, see John 10:35). So we have the prediction that the protestant Churches would come from within .... the Catholic Church (at the reformation )
@@1234poppycat Listen to Mike Gendron and read your Bible. Learn about Jesus from the Gospels and not your false church and men who are lost sinners like you.
I am a gay Christian who has renounced his sexuality for the sake of the gospel and the sake of the Lord Jesus' teachings. The elite in the church need to renounce their self-love, and come to Christ for love and forgiveness.
CJ SB Renounce even the Gay part, as that can only confuse people. You are set free from that nature, so also let go of even the name of the sin. I do not tell people that I am an adulterous Christian, or a liar Chris.or murderer Christian as I was in thought, though I was that and worse, but since I became a new born in Christ, that life is gone. You are a new creation in Christ Jesus. By the grace of God you are saved and kept saved as long as you keep in relationship with Jesus.
God bless you in your newness of life in Christ Jesus but renounce the title gay which you no longer walk in that life style. Put on your new name Christian for old things are done away with. Put on the garment of righteousness which is by the grace of God.
Gendon has lied to you about the catholic faith ... CATHOLICS make the Eucharistic sacrifice to God as told to in scripture ..JOHN 6 : 44-66 and the Last Supper ... not what Gendron says at 11:20 ... Find truth not the words of a liar ... Jesus Christ is the Way the TRUTH and the Life !!
Stop LYING!!! The Catholic's pagan offerings to Nimrod, Semiramis, and Tammuz, is the Eucharist ritual that they do every SUNday. Just look at the Monstrous, its Baal (another name for Nimrod) Pagan Sun worship, as the Sun shaped host is placed in the Crescent Moon (Semiramis, Ashtoreth, Astarte, etc), symbolizing the ancient Pagan Sex Act bringing forth the crowned and conquering new Sun (Tammuz), with the union of the Sun and the Moon deities. This is nothing more than RENAMED Babylonian Paganism. There is a massive Pagan Obelisk in the center of Vatican Square, which the big circle is a Pagan Solar Sun Wheel.
Actually Mike Gendron is absolutely correct, Jesus made the offering, Jesus laid down his life, not you not some priest, Jesus. It says nineteen times the Catechism says that the catholic church is offering up Jesus as a sacrifice. In John 6:44-66 the Jews are talking about bread and wine made of wheat and grapes, while Jesus is talking about bread and wine made of the Holy Spirit. Communion is a commemoration of the offering He made for our sins, eucharist is an unbiblical invention of the Council of Trent in 1545 and it says so in the catechism paragraphs 1376 and 1413 The whole of Christianity is summed up in John 6:40 which you have ignored For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
Doug you are also lying YOU actually said ""Catechism says that the catholic church is offering up Jesus as a sacrifice"" WHE|RE in the catechism ?? Protestants who hate the catholic Church circulate these lies and never o for EVIENCE ... The Catechism has over 1000 bible references !! .....Gendon has lied to you about the catholic faith ... CATHOLICS make the Eucharistic sacrifice to God as told to in scripture ..JOHN 6 : 44-66 and the Last Supper ... not what Gendron says at 11:20 ... Find truth not the words of a liar ... Jesus Christ is the Way the TRUTH and the Life !!
Look, dude, sorry if I know more about your religion than you do, I've been blessed with an inquiring mind and a Catholic upbringing and education. And I truly forgive you for your false accusations (you know, calling me a liar for presenting you with honest, documented facts), you were probably speaking from the heart and as a man of the bible you know what Jesus said about the heart: ""For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders." (Matthew 15:19) As for the Catechism having over 1,000 bible references - so what? In Matthew 4:6 Satan attempted to tempt Christ and quoted the bible twice. (For your edification it was Psalm 91:11-12) If you noticed, the Catechism also quotes the Council of Trent quite often. The council of Trent is most famous for contradicting the bible and handing down anathema which only God can do. (Canons 9, 12, 13, 14, 23, 24, 30, and 33) As for your ignorance of what what the Catechism says, look up Paragraph 1330, 1350, 1359, 1360, 1361, 1362, 1364,1365, 1366 (especially), 1367 (even more so) Let me offer you some advice out of love - do what I did, sit down and read the bible, the whole bible, cover to cover, verse by verse "and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." (John 8:32)
It's good to find this. I was raised Roman Catholic and know that most Christian leaders have no idea how to help ex-Catholics to be deprogrammed. Thank you for your ministry. There is a saying, "Once a Catholic, always a Catholic." It is an unhappy thing and breaks people.
Preaching from Christian radio programs and also reading the scripture on my own helped break my programming. Just comparing the difference from "Catholic radio" which had no bible and very little preaching versus The Christian radio stations which would have numerous, world renowned preachers, preaching from the bible was a profound awakening for me. I even talked with other ex-Catholics one which said in regard to this comparison "with the Catholic station it is a BIG NOTHING!" Yes, that is one great way to deprogram and it takes time, but the "born again" process will carry one through.
If you are outside the Catholic Church you do not really know Christ that well ... That is why in the last 2 years 3 Church of England Bishops have given up power wealth and status to join the Catholic Church !!!
Deprogrammed from what? This is a joke or a malicious deception. Catholics famously are free to come and go as they please. It is laughable to suggest there is brainwashing from which you need to be deprogrammed!! Hilarious!! When you say you were raised a Catholic, I presume you were from a nominal Catholic background where your family were not committed Catholics who read their scripture and attended Church. Or maybe they were very religious Catholics who did the weird so-called Catholic things that are not in fact Catholic or Christian.
Patrick Runcie, Ex-Catholics like they never really practiced their faith enough to know sound Catholic teaching. They become ex-Catholics for emotional or social reasons, or refuse to accept 2000 year old moral teachings on Matrimony and the evil consequences of the cotraceptive mentality. They may have an authentic encounter with Christ at another church, and make the false conclusion that Jesus is not in the Church they grew up in. They become influenced by slick sounding ministers who have no qualms about LYING about what Catholics really believe, or read books by hate cultists who distort the facts of history and breed contempt and intolerance. Or they come across "Christian" web sites that gives them the same adrenaline rush as Chick Publications or Dave Hunt. It's a form of spiritual pornography and these bigots are the crack dealers of anti-Catholic bigoty, selling their "religion" in the slums of fear and ignorance, on the look out for weak ignorant Catholics to exploit. When a Protestant converts to Catholicism, he/she may revere their former church, and even attend. Animousity is rare. But when a Catholic turns his back on the Eucharist, he beomes an anti-Catholic. And the real reasons are never about theology. If that were the case, why are so many Protestant Bible scholars and ministers converting to Catholicism? I have a list. Starting with the President of the Evangelical Society who returned to the Church just last year: Franscis Beckwith... and then there is Robert Koons...professor of philosophy at U. of Texas...and .... Richard & Danielle Borgman: Evangelicals , Dr.Scott Hahn , Former United Methodist - Marcus Grodi, Tim Staples: Former Assemblies of God Youth Minister , Kristine Franklin & Rosalind Moss: Former Evangelical & Jewish Convert .
aughalough 1- I never questioned my Catholic faith but when I read the history of the Popes I was deeply saddened and disgusted. Their degenerate behaviour and persecution throughout the centuries towards people who simply wanted to read the Bible in their own language started me on a long and painful journey away from Catholicism. When Pope Francis was elected, I read the Jesuit Oath and was shocked once more. I do miss the Eucharist. I will agree with you on that but even today, with countless new clerical sex abuse scandals coming to light (40% of Priests in one Australian order) I can no longer be part of this corrupt entity called The Catholic Church. Indeed, I agree with Pope Paul VI, who stated back in 1972 that 'the smoke of Satan had entered the Church'. The Bible is now my guide - especially John 3.16 which has helped me heal and place my trust in Christ alone.
@@aughalough1 so what ! Just because a protestant preacher converts to catholoisim just shows that their eyes were never open . And their eyes are glued shut now more than ever !!!How sad !
I was in a waiting room today. The lady next to me was reading a book. I don't know why I asked her what she was reading, but I did. She said this is a book of the church. I could see all the symbols that it was a Catholic book. I went on to ask her, does she read the Bible? (how rude of me right?), She looked at me so puzzeled and said, well this is the Bible or has Scripture in it. Oh, I said. The I said, My bible is THIS big. I used my hands to show the size of my Bible. Oh so lost the Catholics are.
She was probably reading the New Testament and Psalms as the Giddiens also produce. Catholics produce more bibles and distribute than any other church or sect...
The pope mentioned "GOD is not a divine being". Well, that's something the pope should think about twice. I still can't believe it. Praise the LORD and forget about the pope. Amen
Grim2Slim Yes I heard the pope say that, the pope strongly believes in evolution. He therefore does not believe the truth (Bible) and thus is not Christian.
@@richardurban2269 Ok, give me a direct quote from an official source? The Catholic Church does allow people to believe in evolution. However, you still as a Catholic have to believe in Adam and Eve under the pain of Mortal sIn. Meaning if you don't believe in Adam and Eve you will in fact go to hell according to the popes who used the keys of David to bind these laws on earth and Jesus has bond in heaven. Without Adam and Eve there is no Jesus and therefore no Catholic mass and bible. As the science shows us that we did in fact come from one man scientific Adam and one woman Mitochondrial Eve. But the the evolution part is still a theory as pope John Paul the great pointed out it is a theory bec it has a probability rate. Pope Benedict pointed out that the probability rate for evolution is less than 1%.

Francis said atheists can go to heaven. If this isn't heresy what is? Unam Sanctam said no salvation unless you submit to the pope. Then the church cast 20 anathemas on protestants at Trent. Then the church said protestants are "separated brethren", now atheists can go to heaven! This is the unchanging infallible church!
I'm glad I don't have to follow some human man. Reading the whole bible doesn't take anything special except for the Holy Spirit. When I set down years ago to read the whole New Testament it's like I finally understood it all. It all just made sense.
I had a student who thought i could not teach him as well as he could learn by himself ... It did not go well for him in the end also Years later when I had got promoted to another position his sister came up with the same nonsense with my successor To know the bible well you have to study it speak it and hear it --- live it --- or you remain spiritually illiterate ......

@@1234poppycat Rome is not the holy church. Rome is an apostate false religion filled with little bits of Christianity. If Jesus Christ is your Lord and savior, then the Holy Spirit will convict you to leave the RCC.
@@mariosangermano5709 it is because Jesus Christ is my best friend and lord and saviour that I am a Catholic. That is why 3 Church of England bishops have joined the Catholic Church in the last 18 months !!!
👆 Right. “I love my church, my faith, my pope”. That’s it. They’ve been INDOCTRINATED to believe what they’re taught to believe. Hostility for Protestants in general and Martin Luther in particular is noteworthy.
It's nice to see a rational & respectful person talk about the pope. A lot of people just like to make up stuff, & can't be taken seriously. And I agree with Dr. Reagan's advice to Catholics to read the Bible, the words will show the truth. Also, Mike Gendron said that the only things in life that are eternal are the "Word's of God" & "souls of men," very powerful words.
Are you putting your faith in Christ alone and what He accomplished on the cross, his burial, and resurrection on the third day? Look to Christ for salvation, and to nothing else! Christ alone!! If not repent!
The pope is popular with people who want affirmation for their sinful lives..Instead of condemning sin and sinful behavior the pope says that sin is relative and inconsequentail..Without asking for forgivness and repenting for our sins the pope says that only the catholic religion with its all encompassing acceptance of every deviant behavior is the truth ..
the Pope actually says the opposite to what you claim ... He says it is not for him to condemn people because God is the Judge. That does not mean we can sin and still enter the Kingdom of Heaven Show me where the Pope said "Sin was relative and inconsequential" FACT is that such a claim is another anti -Catholic lie !!

DAILEYericCaryUSA I worked with Mike back in the early days of his ministry. He originally worked with one of our broadcasters: Gene Getz. Over the years, I've spoken to him over the phone and he was and still is an encourager. Glad you are following him Eric!
Found this article by Bob Sullivan Mike Gendron says he is a former Catholic who has been saved by the Bible. He travels the United States whenever he can, in search of Catholics who will buy his books, tracts and his version of Scripture. He also publishes a lot of misinformation on the internet. His entire mission is to convince Catholics that they need to separate themselves from the Catholic Church if they want to end up in Heaven someday. There is a lot of dishonesty in Mike’s approach to his “ministry”, but the one consistent truth behind everything he does is this: Mike is allergic to facts. He sees things his way and his way only. If you present a simple fact to him that runs contrary to his personal interpretation, he stomps off like an angry child. I know because this is exactly how he behaved when I showed up at one of his “Bible Conferences” with one of my buddies. To see what I’m talking about, you can read here, I think you will find it very entertaining. The events leading up to that article are kind of interesting as well, as are some things that occured after Mr. Gendron visited Nebraska on that occasion. Several months prior to my meeting with Mr. Gendron, I wrote a letter to a local church, correcting the minister on numerous misunderstandings his particular church apparently held regarding the Catholic Church. The minister did not appreciate the information I provided him, but he did pass my letter off to a group of guys who had a solution in mind and that solution was that hey would hire Mike Gendron to come to Lincoln, Nebraska, to debate me. On Mike Gendrons website I discovered that he was going to put on a little “Bible Conference” in Central City, Nebraska. I decided to attend some of his event in order to see how he behaved during his “conference”. That is how the Catholic Answers article came about. After my visit with Mr. Gendron, I let a few weeks pass before I contacted the group of Christians in Lincoln, regarding the upcoming debate. At that point, Mr. Ball informed me that they had cancelled the debate. I had hoped that Mr. Gendron would not have gotten cold feet after our brief encounter in Central City, but alas, he must have decided he would be better off avoiding the debate. It is evident that the pastor of the little church in Central City caught a significant amount of criticism for the way he handled the situation when I had Mr. Gendron backed into a corner at the end of the second night of his “Bible Conference”. A few weeks later, he posted his sermon, justifying his unchristian behavior toward me. . In a nutshell, the pastor explained that he had to treat me uncharitably in order to protect them from the information I was offering them. I’ve since reached out to Pastor Prettyman, but he has not accepted my offer to sit down for a private discussion. A few months ago, I joined one of Mike’s facebook pages and at one point, he engaged me in a brief discussion after one of this blatantly false posts. When I provided Scripture passages and historical facts to show how incorrect he was, he blocked me. I then emailed him and offered to debate him at an upcoming event of his in northern Kansas. The point of all of this is to show several things about Mike Gendron: He is dishonest; His information is indefensible when his Scripture, Catechism and historical references are placed in context and he appears to realize this weakness; He relies heavily on people to protect him from situations in which his claims are about to be proven false; He does not actually practice what he preaches; He does not engage in honest dialogue regarding Scripture or the actual teachings of the Catholic Church.
so he claimed that he opened the bible for the first timer at 34 years of age But he previously said he had been a devout Catholic attending Mass and altar boy etc In the Mass we have 3 bible readings on weekdays and four on Sunday (counting the psalms) the main prayer is in accordance with John 6 The Body and blood of Christ (with direct quotes) This man contradicts himself often and mis represents Catholicism ... The reason why the reformation was successful was because Kings and Princes in Europe wanted the lands and wealth of the Church and in England Henry VIII wanted a divorce from his wife of 20 + years ... People did not decide for themselves ... But when Protestantism got a foothold the Catholic Church needed to explain about the truth of Christ and counter the lies told about Catholicism -- the Gendron repeats often like --- Catholics believe that have Mary as an alternative to Jesus --- Catholic Catechism "" Mary has the role of leading us to Christ" and "Worship is reserved for the Godhead alone (Father Son and Holy Spirit)" All Catholic sacraments are directly to God (Mary does not even get a mention in most sacraments)
As a previous roman catholic, born to their “faith “, an armchair pope watcher, I must confess that all the lies and lawless doctrine they teach and speak, is directly orchestrated by our enemy Satan himself. It began historically just after the books in our New Testament were written. As just a few generations had passed, many discussions began on were the original meanings and even the original doctrine of the Gospel. Another two or three hundred years pass, the victor of Rome began to be the most powerful Church leader, encompassing most of Europe. Then alas, the Holy Roman Empire was born with the political, and vicious warrior, Constitene
What are you talking about? Constatine was Roman and legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire. The Holy Roman Empire was German and was established hundreds of years after.
@@svizzy4270 If you read early history of the Catholic Church and of the Holy Roman Empire, It did begin with Constantine with Rome as its head then morphed into the vastness of Europe. Once he died, his successors included the kings of different countries as the official Holy Roman Empire to control the masses and destroy their enemies, political or religious.
@@michaeldvorak8140 And the Holy Roman Empire was awesome. Then we went to the "enlightenment". Secularism which is the downfall of our civilization. What do we have since then? Political ideologies removed from God and more importantly, Christianity. Those all only think in Philosophical Materialism, that everything is just Matter and Atoms. So what is the meaning of life? If you are just matter, noting is really important. If you die, the matter is still there. Everything becomes meaningless and every truth is subject of permanent change.
@@svizzy4270 I do have love for the Jews. Was not Jesus a Jew? Did God the Father of all life give up on saving Jews? Is not the last week of years that Daniel prophecies about the Jewish Nation happen already? No, Jesus will come back to destroy the evil world and establish His Kingdom. It will be at that time that the Jews will see the holes in his hands and side and begin to cry Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord . In that moment all Israel will be saved. All men who reject Jesus as the Savior and their personal savior will not be saved from living thru eternity in constant torment, burning 🔥 with no chance of Life with God. This is what is said to all who heard the Gospel but cannot or will not accept the free gift of Salvation. When people make a choice they had better choose wisely; they should choose LIFE !
My 94-year-old Dad has knelt before the same statue of Saint Anthony for more than 50 years. Catholics don't believe in the healing. In fact, people are canonized saint only when they are dead and someone claims a miracle following the intercession of the dead. Ridiculous that catholic miracles are not possible when you are alive except when you are dead. I have joined a prophetic church after 50 years and I am happy. I am seeing the miracles now. I do not need a saint to pray for me.
"And what I was being taught as a Catholic was diametrically opposed to what the bible was teaching me in regards to salvation". Then he states that ""I read that we are saved by grace apart from merit; by faith apart from works; that Jesus was my all sufficient saviour; to repent of all the things I was doing to help Him save me etc., etc." It is strange that the "first" time he begins reading a bible he goes to all the Protestant strap lines, taken out of context as they inevitably are. We Catholics believe, as per scripture and Church teaching throughout the ages, that we are saved entirely by having faith in Jesus Christ, as Romans 10:9 says, "If anyone believes in their heart that Jesus is Lord, and confesses with their lips that He was raised from the dead, they will be saved." Also, in Ephesians 2 from verse 8, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast." But what no Protestant ever goes on to quote is verse 10, "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do". Of course we are saved by the grace and work of God through Jesus; that's what all Christians have believed for 2000 years! But unless we have works to demonstrate that we are saved, then I am sorry, scripture says we are NOT saved. Remember the parable of the goats and the sheep. The goats were damned because they believed in God but did not demonstrate that their faith was true. The Catholic position on this is fully thought out, complete and is not a sound-bite. It is proper theology and doctrine which should not be dismissed or denigrated. The interviewer then goes on to share that he has encountered Catholics who don't read the bible and when they do they realise that the bible and Church teachings are opposed. So much to comment on!! Firstly, many Catholics are Catholic in name only and are ripe for conversion and in need of salvation - so please, please share your faith with any Catholic who has not been evangelised and send them back to their roots in the Catholic Church where they will be nurtured and brought up in the faith and presented to God, chaste and holy. There are 1.3 billion Catholics worldwide, buy you can be sure than many of them, maybe the majority are not committed Catholics who have been evangelised properly and of course will not be reading scripture regularly. I have encountered many Protestants who are in the same boat i.e. who are nominal Protestants who also do not read or know scripture. Because those Catholics do not have a grounding in the faith, they won't actually know what true Church teaching is. Regarding Church teachings being opposed to biblical truth, that is simply not true - what else can I say. And no, I will not respond to requests to answer a thousand questions about specific teachings as in my experience we just go down multiple rabbit holes to no avail. If people are genuinely interested in what the Church truly teaches then I am happy to engage.

Nobody knows freedom like a former Roman Catholic. Up until 1978, I was a venerator (read worshipper) of Mary to the point of making a pilgrimage to Lourdes, France in 1958 marking the 100th anniversary of the "'apparitions" to Bernadette Soubirous.

@@1234poppycat Actually you have that backwards… It’s a prediction that the Catholic Church would creep in… Savage wolves. Acts 20:29-31. Jesus founded the “ Christian” Church… Act 11:26. 110 years later, a bunch of savage wolves got together and decided that Jesus‘s name for the church wasn’t good enough, and they needed to change it. They decided on the word Catholic. Then in about 350, Constantine decided that wasn’t good enough either, and he changed it to Roman Catholic. According to the Roman Catholic Church… Nothing Jesus did was good enough, starting with naming his church, and ending with his sacrifice on the cross. They felt they could improve on everything Jesus did… And they did so at the peril of all the souls that follow them.😿
@@gloriastreet4684 that is a new one on me . Did you just make that up or were you told that by your hate preaching friend? Catholic means universal so THE church was growing and this was a descriptive word. Roman Catholic is interchangeable with Catholic even today. Constantine converted to Catholicism and being the powerful Roman Emperor facilitated a number of church councils for the one original church
@@1234poppycat Ha ha you’re funny🤣. Did I make it up? LOL. No it’s actually The words of God, and facts from history. Nothing you said disputed either. So my comment stands exactly as written.
@@gloriastreet4684 your fiction about the name of the only church God created is not in the bible. - try reading it rather than the lies of the hate preachers
I don’t see how the Big Bang contradicts God spoke the cosmos into existence. In fact the “just right “ particulars of the cosmos puts the earth at the center again. Not only creation but Gods great love which takes every aspect extant in the cosmos necessary for life on earth.
The Bible says that we are to test the spirits. In other words if anyone believes God, through His Holy Spirit is speaking to us we are to test it against the Word of God. If it contradicts the Word (the Boble) it is NOT God the Holy Spirit speaking but an evil one. We cannot be too careful about this.
Four cardinals have made a request to Pope Francis to clarify grave errors in his apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia. Some of the errors they cited Pope Francis as making include the following: • No one is condemned to hell • The divorced and civilly remarried are not in a state of serious sin, and they can receive sanctifying grace and grow in charity. • A Catholic can have full knowledge of the law and voluntarily choose to break it in a serious matter, but not be in a state of mortal sin. • A person with full knowledge of a divine law can sin by choosing to obey that law. • One’s conscience can judge that sexual sins can sometimes be morally right or requested or commanded by God. • Jesus wills that the Church abandon her discipline of refusing the Eucharist to the divorced and remarried and of refusing absolution to the divorced and remarried who do not express contrition. Cardinal Burke says if Pope Francis won’t clarify these “serious errors,” the Cardinals must make a “formal act of correction.” Just in case you didn't know, Mr. AJA "Deacon" these Cardinals are following proper canonical process. This step of making a 'Formal act of correction' is, according to RCC discipline, the first step in declaring someone - anyone including the pope - a formal heretic. According to Cardinal Burk "There is, in the Tradition of the Church, the practice of correction of the Roman Pontiff. It is something that is clearly quite rare. But if there is no response to these questions, then it would be a question of taking a formal act of correction of a serious error.” You mean that Mr. Pope ISN'T infallible? Looks like Mike Gendron is right.
you have taken sensationalist headlines and not bothered to read the text !! 1 The Cardinals are saying they want clarification and one has said it is in their power to issue a formal act of correction. 2 Papal infallibility has always been subject to restrictions and in any case is confined to doctrinal / scriptural and moral matters.. Gendon is wrong on the Catholic Church.. I follow Jesus who became the Christ and HIS church not Gendon !!
@pkat 👆 It’s late December 2023. What you wrote is true. Must be. ~ Bergoglio continues with The Agenda. Burke has been punished. Strickland not long beforehand.

INDOCTRINATION is at MK Ultra mind control programming level and/or Spiritual Blindness from spiritual source has them bound. It’s all Surreal.
The first church-its growth, doctrine, and practices-were recorded for us in the New Testament. Jesus, as well as His apostles, foretold that false teachers would arise, and indeed it is apparent from some of the New Testament epistles that these apostles had to fight against false teachers early on. Having a pedigree of apostolic succession or being able to trace a church’s roots back to the "first church" is important to show true consistency for being the true church. What is given is repeated comparisons between what false teachers teach and what the first church taught, as recorded in Scripture. Whether a church is the "true church" or not is also determined by comparing its teachings and practices to that of the New Testament church, as recorded in Scripture. For instance, in Acts 20:17-38, the Apostle Paul has an opportunity to talk to the church leaders in the large city of Ephesus one last time face to face. In that passage, he tells them that false teachers will not only come among them but will come FROM them (vv. 29-30). Paul commits them to the safekeeping of "God and to the word of His grace" (v. 32). Thus, truth could also be determined by depending upon God and "the word of His grace" (i.e., Scripture, see John 10:35). So we have the prediction that the protestant Churches would come from within .... the Catholic Church (at the reformation ) As the bible was not compiled until 390's at the Council of Rome and Synod of Hippo we also know it must not be scripture alone for out of Catholicism we got the compilation of the Bible !!!
At the age of 34 he began reading the bible for the first time; even though he says he was a Catholic for 37 years and taught Catholic High School Christian doctrine. The numbers do not fit, but more importantly, how did he miss the bombardment of Scripture throughout his 37 years - in Mass, in ALL Catholic services, in school, at home, (The majority of Catholics have/had a large family bible that came out on a regular basis and the wonderful stories read by Mum or Dad)?? And how on earth was he teaching Christian doctrine at a Catholic school and totally miss the scriptural basis for Catholic school curricula? The story just does not add up. For all Catholics watching this video, please do not be distracted. As Paul said to the Philippians, ""Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things". Let us concentrate on the truth, and think about the things of God and not allow ourselves to be attracted to deception.
How many people who were Catholic in name only say "I was a very devout Catholic." There are countless souls in Hell who because of their pride believed they were "devout" while on earth. Pride is the greatest threat to salvation, and in this Dark End Times Apostasy nearly everyone is ruled by pride. We are now in "those days" Christ warned us would come in Matthew 24:22 "And if those days were not shortened no one would be saved, but for the sake of the elect, they will be shortened." The Divine Intervention needed to "shorten these days" is coming soon in the form of the great Warning! Pray for the virtue of humility, without which you have no hope in eternal life !!!
Kurt Homan, Protestantism is pride. Lucifer was one of Gods beloved archangel until he heard that Christ would become a Godman born of a virgin women. It was his pride that said no!I will not serve and was defeated by St. Michael the archangel and cast into hell with his other angels, Pride, Martin Luther was a Catholic Priest monk who said no I will not serve, PRIDE!
Kurt Homan u are the proud one, who are u to judge who is going to hell, only God can judge, God in His Infinite Mercy and Love, will give everyone a chance to repend before judgement, if u +those here are Christians u all shld not gossip abt the Catholic Church, if u hv nothing good to say abt the Catholic Church, hold ur tongues, say nothing, don't gossip but pray, words or work without love is not from Jesus Matthew Chapter 7 1 'Do not judge, and you will not be judged; 2 because the judgements you give are the judgements you will get, and the standard you use will be the standard used for you. 3 Why do you observe the splinter in your brother's eye and never notice the great log in your own? 4 And how dare you say to your brother, "Let me take that splinter out of your eye," when, look, there is a great log in your own? 5 Hypocrite! Take the log out of your own eye first, and then you will see clearly enough to take the splinter out of your brother's eye. John - Chapter 15 "I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples. Mathew 15 'If your brother does something wrong, go and have it out with him "alone," ( not in public )between your two selves. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother. we Catholics do not need ignorant n misguided advises, bfore u all come together to gossip abt the Catholic Church, u + all the over 30,000 denominations Bible Churches shld first agree with each other on the Bible n reconcile, not starting a new Church every time u all disagree, lets pray that by the Graces of God not our work that we will one day all come together to worship the One True God. peace be with you
A Catholic for 37 years? How on earth did he not encounter Jesus during all that time? I don’t think it was the Church’s fault that he neglected the most important aspects of being a Catholic - to know, love and serve God. I simply do not recognise this man’s understanding of Catholicism. The Catholic Church is the Church called by Jesus, appointed by Him with leaders called and anointed by Him to lead it forward with the grace and power of the Holy Spirit. I can’t believe he designates early apostates as being the ancestors of Catholics today is simply mind-boggling and requires doing violence to the Word of God. When you state something like this as being the "truth", how are people who do not know better going to handle it, except to accept it as the truth? The truth is that the Church has been attacked by so many men like this for 2000 years; it shouldn't be a surprise to me as the Lord promised that this would be the case. It still shocks me though, when it comes from people who you would think should know better. I am a Catholic Christian, and very proud to be so. I encountered Jesus through the action of the Holy Spirit when I was 17 and have found in the Catholic Church - it’s teachings, its ministers, its art, it’s wonderful Christ-centre liturgies - an absolute treasure. On top of that we have long list of holy men and women going back to Jesus, who have brought the scriptures to us, and who constantly bring life to the Body of Christ. Why on earth would I or anyone else, give that up? Mr Gendron says he was the first person to bring scripture study to a Catholic Church in Dallas. What he does not make clear is the context. The context is that every single day each Mass throughout the world has three to four readings from scripture, which is proclaimed in the sermon of the priest. Also, each priest, nun, and serious lay person reads the Office of the Catholic Church multiple times per day. The Office is a series of hymns, psalms, scripture readings, prayers and inspiring words. It was wonderful that Mr Gendron shared a bible study in a Catholic Church, but please do not mislead the listeners that Catholicism is devoid of Scriptural knowledge or experience. I have only watched 1.5 minutes of this interview and it is so far from any truth that I will take a break and may come back to it, to give the man a chance to speak some truth.
And many priests read it in Latin, which most cannot understand (which makes no sense). Why read something to people who can't understand what they're hearing? It reminds me of a cult.
👆 This is true. Hard to believe this is still said, but I know what you wrote is true, because I heard similar ~ “The Church has AUTHORITY to interpret Scripture.” AUTHORITY. 🔑 That’s the Key used to Lock Up 🔒 people in their Jail of deception. RC Religion CLAIMS Authority, then Convinces people (Indoctrination) OR Forces people (Inquisitions/Counter Reformation to SUBMIT to Authority THEIR illegitimate Authority or else List of Anathemas (written during Council of Trent) History reports Scripture was HIDDEN or FORBIDDEN for Centuries. Hidden by use of Latin language. Forbidden when The Bible was put on List of Forbidden Books. (written during Council of Trent) Evil Enemy continues to work to keep people away from GOD and GOD’s Word (scripture, bible). Some Religions HELP Satan. This accurately reflects the immense control the RC religion wields ~ The Church has The Authority to interpret Scripture.

You're right, he is a false prophet in these end times to lead people into Satan's lie and straight to hell. He is following his master, Satan, in doing this. The "Church" you refer to is the Catholic Church, which is an entirely different church than that of which Christ Jesus is the leader.
If the pope doesn’t judge homosexuality why judge anything or any sin? Are Catholics listings to the things the pope says??? Who do you Catholics believe?? Jesus Christ or the pope??

Catholicism was conceived in Rome sometime in the 300s after Constantine’s decision. ORIGINALLY True Followers of Christ, they were surrounded and influenced by paganism, politics, violence, immorality of all kinds aka EVIL They MORPHED into an Organization/Religion /Power quite different than Church described in Book of Acts. Spread The Gospel Truth (verbal or written) is what Savior instructed apostles & disciples to do. Who obeyed Christ ? Who kept Scripture hidden, forbidden, replaced ? ~ Excellent Secret Keepers ~ 🙉 Hear no evil 🙈 See no evil 🙊 Speak no evil

Well, everything is free to choose any teacher according to his or her own taste and preference. Gendron, Calvin, Schilder, Luther, Wesley or whatever local pastor anyone wishes. They all teach their personal interpretations of the Bible as being the Gospel. They all present themselves as the pillar of truth. This is exactly prophesied, just so you know...

Amazing thing is that Scripture basically lists all of this literally, yet so few seem to notice or care.

We Catholics have a proverb about one’s width of reading, depth of study, and height of understanding of the Bible and where this leads to: “Weak Catholics become Evangelicals; Strong Evangelicals become Catholics.” You Evangelicals evangelizing Catholics, I invite you to read, study, and understand the Bible ever more fully. (Emphasis on the "fully," meaning completely from Genesis to Revelation and its biblical theology, not just the usual clobber texts you are taught to throw at us Catholics!) We Catholics are happy to welcome you home to the original, true and full Christian church, founded by Jesus himself, the Catholic Church.
We here at Lamb & Lion Ministries love Catholics and pray for them to be freed of the cultic Roman Catholic Church teachings and so come to know the biblical Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We’ve written on the differences between Protestant and Catholic beliefs at www.lamblion.com/articles/articles_religious8.php.
@@ChristInProphecy this declaration of yours just clearly shows how inadequate is your understanding of the Bible. Read, study, and understand fully the Bible and its big picture theology, not just the clobber texts you are taught about and trained to throw at us Catholics. Read again the proverb I cited. You are not yet a strong Evangelical.
@@ChristInProphecy be a strong Evangelical, instead of “evangelizing” Catholics, “evangelize” yourself by reading, studying, and understanding completely and fully the Bible, that is from Genesis to Revelation and what the Bible means, that is, its “biblical theology.” As I emphasize, don’t just familiarize yourself with isolated and unconnected clobber texts you are to memorize to be able to throw them at us Catholics whenever you have the chance. Read, study, understand the Bible fully and completely. Remember, by then we Catholics will welcome you home to the original, true, and full Christian church founded by Jesus himself, the Catholic Church.
Where in the Bible Mike does it state there should be Wednesday night scripture study? Or altar calls? Or that Jesus Christ must be my "personal savior"? Chapter and verse please.
and who gave the popes the authority to change the Sabbath, worship Mary and so called saints and to worship idols??? and yes, you can have fish on Mondays. homosexual priests and their pope leader are an eternal abomination
Jesus gave HIS Church the Authority. Ever hear of "thou are Peter and upon this Rock I will build my Church, and I give you the key to the kingdom"? And they did not have Bibles back then. Only haters believe we worship Mary and the Saints. We worship the living God alone. Yes, there have been bad people in HIS Church (just as there have been bad people in any church) but that does not take away from the fact that the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ. You church was founded by some guy (or gal) with a "better idea" in the 1500s, 1600s or 1700s. Guess who I will stay with. Guess.
+Al Vargesko : defenders of the Catholic Church love to use this verse to expand their propaganda. It was the fact that Peter recognised that Jesus was / is the Son of God. Christ is the corner stone. The popes are a millstone to false belief
What propaganda Matthew? Quit drinking the protestant kool aid and investigate the true Church of Jesus Christ. Read the Bible and see that Peter was in fact designated the leader of HIS Church by Jesus Christ himself. Of course Jesus is the cornerstone of our faith, but Jesus needed a leader with the Authority to decide matters of faith and morals once Jesus ascended. Jesus KNEW what he was doing. and he spent 3 years with his Apostles teaching them and leading by his example. After he left, he empowered the 12 with the Holy Spirit and the Church grew like wildfire. The Apostles HAD NO BIBLES. Repeat, the APOSTLES HAD NO BIBLES. So how did the early Christians worship and spread the faith? By word of mouth, by the oral tradition. The first Bible was not compiled until long after the last Apostle breathed his last. Yet the Church continued to grow even in the face of persecution and numerous heresies against the faith (Arianism, Donatism, Gnosticism, etc) which were all defeated by the Holy Spirit. Look at history for yourself and see the truth. Yes Jesus used flawed men to grow his Church. Peter denied him three times; Thomas doubted; Paul persecuted the early Christians. Yet Jesus used these flawed men and made them great Saints. The Catholic Church has the Authority of the Pope, while protestants have NOTHING. When protestors argue, they just start a new church. How convenient. How sinful. How arrogant that any man thinks he knows better than Christ Jesus.
Pope francis says Jesus "FAILED"on the cross thats enough to throw him back to Argitina , shame on him for trying to mock my lord and savior with such a statement , that was the pinnacle of his great victory over sin for all of us and shame on this beast of an institution that permits this,Amen
You have just repeated another hate preacher lie What Pope Francis said was ""By the values and standards of none believers and atheists Jesus failed on the Cross. But as Christians we know this to be untrue. His resurrection was the triumph over death and sin that enables our salvation "" Now why do you suppose you have been lied to by the hate preachers ????

I came to Christ as a lifelong Catholic in 1981 as well. I started writing a similar book soon after, but dropped it after a little while because I knew it would separate me from my family even more than I already was.

Leave it in the Basement and Come to Christ in HIS Catholic Church Read your bible Study the Bible.... If you are outside the Catholic Church you do not really know Christ that well ... That is why in the last 2 years 3 Church of England Bishops have given up power wealth and status to join the Catholic Church !!!

That respect has widened over the years to where one of my primary prayer concerns as a believer is unity in the body of Christ as He shared with the Father in John 17:20-23 through the Power of the Holy Spirit. Every believer who sincerely prays "Our Father, who art in Heaven..." and calls on Jesus as Lord, by definition is brother or sister in Christ. I pray that you can understand that. We are called to a personal relationship with Jesus of Nazareth as our Savior, not an allegiance to any denomination created by man.
its 2020, the pope finally got something right ! He said he was not the vicar of Christ on earth. See that, if you aim at nothing, you will hit it everytime
Where did the Bible come from? Who do you think put the Old Testament and New Testament together and gave the world the first Bible? It was the Catholic Church, and Saint Jerome in particular around trhe year 400 AD. Before that, no Bible. Does that mean there was no faith?
The English Bible was first translated by Tyndale n German Bible by Martin Luther n for this both of them were burnt alive by the then Pope's of Rome because the people would come to know the truth which Rome was trying to hide from the lay people even now they discourage the people from reading the Bible because thay will clearly be disrobed n suffer shame of their wicked deeds, which even Paul has warned us about in Romans 1, see this sin of homosexuality has been prevelant since Babylon years, carried down throughout the empires that ruled the Earth during Rome it had got beyond endurance, n Hebrews tells us ( God sent His son IN time) to do away with all evil, previously God has destroys ( Sodom n gommorah) but now he wants to save the people God is not happy with anyones destruction, the God says ( people r lost for lack of knowledge) hence the don't know the way of salvation n make up their own ways, those r different religions who take u in different directions n u get lost, but God has opened only one sure way to heaven n that's thru Christ so readers plz take the route God has made for us
*THE ONLY 'HOLY FATHER' IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY* - all others claiming or accepting that title are just imposters. "HOLY" means to be 'cut-off', 'set apart', 'pure'. If anyone can claim these, and many other god-like attributes, then they must surely be able to 'prove' they are God. None other but Jesus Christ has proven this to date-not by association or acclamation of any others. "Ah LORD GOD!* behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee." [Jeremiah 32:17] ✝️🇦🇺
Alleluia! Maranatha! All we need is the Word of God and Salvation through Jesus Christ 💗 Anything more is heresy and leads to hell. The Catholic church is heresy and will be disposed of by God in the end.
Martin Luther to Pope Leo X, January 6, 1519 “I never approved of a schism, nor will I approve of it for all eternity. . . . That the Roman Church is more honored by God than all others is not to be doubted. St, Peter and St. Paul, forty-six Popes, some hundreds of thousands of martyrs, have laid down their lives in its communion, having overcome Hell and the world; so that the eyes of God rest on the Roman church with special favor. Though nowadays everything is in a wretched state, it is no ground for separating from the Church. On the contrary, the worse things are going, the more should we hold close to her, for it is not by separating from the Church that we can make her better. We must not separate from God on account of any work of the devil, nor cease to have fellowship with the children of God who are still abiding in the pale of Rome on account of the multitude of the ungodly. There is no sin, no amount of evil, which should be permitted to dissolve the bond of charity or break the bond of unity of the body. For love can do all things, and nothing is difficult to those who are united". -
Jayson Enlet, you're right. According to most the catholic church is considered the richest church in the world. The most money, gold and property. The Vatican has its own bank and is its own "government". This from church leaders, priests etc, that take an oath of poverty.
The REAL Christians, those who would NOT submit to Papal Authority ~ They were ROBBED before, during, and after punishments aka TORTURES and MURDERS. Holy God had nothing to do with this evil ~ NOTHING whatsoever. What gods / demons were these Roman Catholic Leaders serving? Only those in agreement with EVIL could have ordered or carried out all of this WICKEDNESS ! Anyone with internet access can discover enough of the ATROCITIES committed by “the one true church” The Inquisitions (6 centuries) + The Counter Reformation. Waldo, Wycliff, Hus (before Luther) were REAL Christians.
And finally for the moment. The strap line of this video is "Who is Pope Francis? Where did he come from? And what is he up to? Is Mr Gendron really claiming that he knows all their is to know about Francis, whom he does not know, has never met, has never had a conversation with? Audacious.
👆 Tree is known by its Fruit. Mr Gendron is an X-catholic and an experienced Evangelist for Catholics as he said. Because of these facts, it’s likely he knows significantly more than most about Catholic happenings including what this pope is saying and doing. He’s not a biographer. Nor does he need to be to express his informed thoughts /views from a reformed perspective.
@@ShirleyAnnPetrillo-oj7sc Hi Shirley. I am still a Catholic, and have studied scripture and the Church for many years. Does that make me also an expert? I agree that anyone can express their own perspective on any matter, however, that does not make them correct. Mr Gendron is very badly informed and his conclusions are simply wrong.
I once heard a Catholic comment on Pope Francis, that he (Pope Francis) “is a Pope that doesn’t particularly like Catholics.” It took me a moment to process that, but after I did I agreed.
Where did Jesus say faith alone without works will lead you to salvation. St Paul also teaches only what he got from the gospels and he did not say faith alone. Paul wrote it to jews which mean what they believe was they need circumcision and need to observe laws of Torah in order to be saved (GOOD WORKS which you called it MERITS) but no he taught baptism through Christ and keeping the faith saves them. Epistle of James quotes "Faith alone without works is dead".
Rangsil Momin "Faith alone without works is dead" True. Let's take this man's life for example. He has faith in Jesus, he's had that both whilst he was still a Catholic and businessman, and when he left the church; he, on both times had faith in Jesus. However, when he was still catholic, whilst he had "faith", did he do good works for God's kingdom? According to him he had all the riches anyone could enjoy in the world. He never mentioned doing anything with the wealth he had to help others, or to share God's truth to others, or use what he's got for God's glory. Now, when he finally truly came to know Jesus, and ACCEPTED Him into his life, truly repented of all his sins, only then did his life changed, and transformation happened. He GAVE UP his business pursuits to know more about Jesus, and to share the truth of the Gospel to others who do not know it. Now, that is GOOD WORKS with FAITH. So, what's different? The difference is, when he accepted Jesus as His Lord and Saviour, Jesus sent his Holy Spirit (the Life that Jesus talks about in the bible, that will save people from death) into this man's life, and changed him to be more Christ like. That change that Christians talk about, is not a conscious decision people make to turn their life around. It is impossible to do that, without relapsing. This, my friend, is the work of the Holy Spirit in this man's life. The "good works" he does now, by leaving his business pursuits to follow Jesus, use their home to share the truth of the gospel, are the fruits of the Holy Spirit in his life. ----- "Faith alone without works is dead" EXACTLY. He had faith before as a Catholic yet did not do good works. He still has faith, even more faith actually, now that He has left the church and found Jesus, and hence came after BECAUSE of that encounter - his good works. This is the evidence of what being truly saved looks like. Good works comes as a result of Faith! True transformative Faith in Jesus Christ alone
@@joanhermoso8116 If you meant Good works done (not comes) motivated by your faith then you have ally in me. It is called living faith. Otherwise we'd be just preaching without practicing like phareesees. But Why Christ alone? Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is the word of God and He is the way to Our Father. The way is to do the will of the Father by immitating how Jesus showed to us. Notice that everytime people praised our Lord, He always deflects the attention towards the Father. So the truth is We have to do the Will of the Father, the way Jesus taught us and follow Him faithfull in all situations (not lukewarm) and to accomplish it, the Father sends us Holy Spirit through Baptism (not born again of flesh like what nicodemus understood but born newly of Spirit) and the Son Jesus sends us the Helper (Holy Spirit).
Rangsil...……...…..you are so wrong......the four gospels pertained to the jews , you have twisted up things in your ignorance.....Paul was commissioned by the risen Lord Himself to be the apostle to the gentiles...…..Jesus revealed to him the gospel of grace thru which we are saved without any works , not even baptism...have you really read Paul's epistles ?.....you are also taking James verses out of context, which most Catholics seem to do.
I too left Catholicism after 12 years in their educational system. I must tell you that when I was a little girl, I had such an amazing love for Jesus. He was God, part of the trinity, who died for my sins and was resurrected now sitting in heaven having become the final sacrifice for my salvation. I was able to separate the problems with catholic doctrine from the truth of scripture once I started reading the Bible until the differences could not justify staying. Initially I was angry, but that faith brought me Jesus and the Niceness Creed which is their core belief definitely agrees with the Bible. Be careful when you accuse Catholics of following a TOTALLY false gospel. They got into trouble because of the popes and tradition. Catholic communion as I learned it was not sacrificing Jesus over and over again at all. It is their understanding that when Jesus said “This is my body and this is my blood,” that you should eat and drink of him, and “do this in memory of me,” was a literal translation to be followed. I have a problem with the following issues, which is why I left: 1) purgatory which minimizes Christ’s sacrifice 2) papal infallibility that opposes biblical truth 3). Indulgences or pass cards to get out of purgatory 4) priests being able to call down the Creator to be in a “host” 5) confessions heard by priests when Christ is our only mediator. (Priesthood really should have ended the moment the temple veil was torn in two 6) infant baptism 7) devotion to Mary saying she was born without sin and was assumed into heaven making her almost an equal with the Godhead. (calling Mary the “mother of God” in the rosary for eg 8) praying to saints instead of Christ. 9) their claim that it’s the only true church 10). Church rules, sacraments, feast days that do not agree with scripture. I think you are being too harsh, though, generalizing that Catholics are going to hell following a “false gospel”. If you ask most of them, Jesus is the center of everything and they disagree with lots of things about the tradition teachings of the church especially since bible studies are common now. I think it’s great that Francis is screwing up cause it is opening the eyes of Catholics who believe in infallibility.
That is very sad. You have put your eternity at risk. I listened to 3 minutes. He already contradicted the Bible several times. I won't waste any more time on someone who is so obviously ignorant of the Bible. If he really would read the Bible with an unbiased mind he would see it confirms the Catholic Church. "Faith without works is dead." That itself eliminate most if not all Protestant religions. St. Peter was the rock upon which Jesus built His Church and given the keys to heaven. If you believe Jesus do what He commands. He commanded works on many occasions. Works are a response to faith and grace. They are not a way to earn heaven. Works without faith, if that is possible, would also be dead.
Adrian Rehak You have completely missed the point of the “faith without works” Faith is all it takes to be with Jesus, as it says many many times throughout scripture. That simple phrase is true. Faith without works is a faith that is not alive. It definitely should be put into action, but do not undermine the rest of scripture by saying you have to do, do, do to be SAVED.
@@adrianrehak8585 "St. Peter was the rock upon which Jesus built His Church and given the keys to heaven." This is false. This is what you have been taught to believe but not supported biblically. The rock that Jesus spoke of was Peter's confession of faith as to the identity of who Jesus was. The catholic church's interpretation of Matthew is nothing more than an overreach of men who wanted to place themselves between you and God so they could peddle salvation. Religions are what Satan uses to separate us from God.
@@rickdavis2235 "Thou art Cephas and upon Cephas I will build My Church." Aramaic only has one word for rock. That was the language of Jesus and the apostles. It can't be any simpler or more concrete than that. Jesus built His Church on Peter and his current successor is Pope Francis. Matthew 16:19 "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven,[a] and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Do you believe Jesus? John 20:23 "Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” Jesus promised to sent the Holy Spirit to be with His Church and guide it to the end of time. Simple and straight forward. Read the Church fathers who learned from the apostles such as John teaching Ignatius of Antioch teaching Polycarp and on. The early Church which began being called Catholic in about 100 AD taught the same gospel, worshiped with the same Mass, had the same sacraments as the Catholic Church has today. 1500 years after Christ, a gap of 1500 years, a bunch of people suddenly thought they knew more than the early Church fathers, who learned from the apostles, did and in heresy changed Church teachings. Had some in the Church gotten off the path and living sinful lives including selling indulgences? Yes. Did that change any doctrine from Jesus, the doctrines of the Catholic Church? No. but unfortunately some were not following them. Did Jesus have sinful apostles? Yes. Judas conspired to murder Jesus. Peter denied Jesus 3 times. The other apostles ran away in fear. Lots of sinners in that bunch. I would say all were just as we all are. That doesn't change anything that Jesus taught.
Read "Joy Unspeakable" by Martin Lloyd- Jones. He well explains what is wrong with all the churches today..beginning some time after the mid 1800s - though that is not the intent of the book's premise - the premise is to emphasize the importance of being Baptized in the Holy Spirit and what it is NOT as well...
I found the truth in HIS Catholic Church... The first church-its growth, doctrine, and practices-were recorded for us in the New Testament. Jesus, as well as His apostles, foretold that false teachers would arise, and indeed it is apparent from some of the New Testament epistles that these apostles had to fight against false teachers early on. Having a pedigree of apostolic succession or being able to trace a church’s roots back to the "first church" is important to show true consistency for being the true church. What is given is repeated comparisons between what false teachers teach and what the first church taught, as recorded in Scripture. Whether a church is the "true church" or not is also determined by comparing its teachings and practices to that of the New Testament church, as recorded in Scripture. For instance, in Acts 20:17-38, the Apostle Paul has an opportunity to talk to the church leaders in the large city of Ephesus one last time face to face. In that passage, he tells them that false teachers will not only come among them but will come FROM them (vv. 29-30). Paul commits them to the safekeeping of "God and to the word of His grace" (v. 32). Thus, truth could also be determined by depending upon God and "the word of His grace" (i.e., Scripture, see John 10:35). So we have the prediction that the protestant Churches would come from within .... the Catholic Church (at the reformation ) As the bible was not compiled until 390's at the Council of Rome and Synod of Hippo we also know it must not be scripture alone for out of Catholicism we got the compilation of the Bible !!!
+Nina Kus No all protestants are not fanatics! They believe what is said in the Bible. Anything added or taken away is forbidden. Jesus did found ONE church and that church was not Roman Catholic. The RC church comes out of the Judaizers who believed in Jesus but kept all their Levitical practices. Jesus is the only high priest we are to follow. Read Hebrews. Quite an eye opener. I came out of the RC church over 40 years ago and find that the more I spend time in the Bible, the more He reveals to me.

Why do these Catholic haters lie so brazenly ?? "Catholic believe that they have to sacrifice Christ in the mass each day to appease him" NOWHERE in catholicism does it say that !! Catholic Children will tell you that is a lie !! It is a sacrifice TO Christ as commanded in scripture (JOHN 6 and the Last Supper etc )
+huguenot67 YOU SAID "" In the mass, the sacrifice of Christ is 're-presented' daily"" NO In the catechism it says .....In the Eucharistic prayer we recognise the living and perfect sacrifice of Christ as we make our sacrifice TO Christ ... Protestants who hate have to keep telling such lies .... even catholic children will tell you it is TO Christ !!
+AJA Deacon If we hated you, we wouldn't say anything. We have compassion for those lost in the idolatrous and blasphemous papist cult, and are calling you back to the Gospel of Grace.
+huguenot67 You have given misinformation about the sacrifice TO Christ in the Mass others are much more vile... other " protestants" obviously hate Christ and HIS church ... " YOU SAID "" In the mass, the sacrifice of Christ is 're-presented' daily"" NO In the catechism it says .....In the Eucharistic prayer we recognise the living and perfect sacrifice of Christ as we make our sacrifice TO Christ ... Protestants who hate have to keep telling such lies .... even catholic children will tell you it is TO Christ !!"
+AJA Deacon Mike is absolutely correct about what is taught about the mass. You are either misinformed or deliberately misrepresenting what the papists teach. The rcc does not teach the all sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice, but that we must also do our part by doing good works and receiving the sacraments.
The Bible (scripture) hasn't brought about many denominations, people have! Huge difference. The translations are all coming from the original text, save for those translations that have warped the meaning of scripture for their own gain.
Why do these people have to tear down fellow Christians to "proclaim Christ"? Mike Gendron is NOT an expert on Catholicism. He gets many teachings totally wrong. Please assess Catholicism on its teachings, which can be found easily in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Each page of the Catechism is filled with the Bible, which by the way, was put together by the Church following many years of oral tradition. Some errors in this presentation: the Pope is not infallible in ALL he says -- it is a very rare occurrence when the Pope speaks infallibly and I don't believe Pope Francis has ever spoken infallibly. I do agree that his comments carry much weight and have been confusing at times. Also at each Mass, Catholics follow Jesus' command to "do this in memory of me." We believe in Christ as the "once and for all sacrifice" that exists eternally--we do not practice repeated sacrifices; we recall and celebrate Christ's eternal and complete sacrifice at every Mass. In fact, we cling to faith in Christ through that eternal sacrifice as the only way to be saved. The Mass re-presents this sacrifice and by the power of this one, eternal sacrifice, offers us the real body and blood of Christ, in accordance with Jesus' command and with the bread of life discourses in John 6.
Peter is not the foundation of the Church as I was taught in Catholic school. The foundation of the Church is Peter's answer to Jesus' question, "Who do you say I am". Peter's response, " You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God". That is this the foundation.

The Catechism is a separate and unbiblical document/doctrine, which should be a huge red flag to you from the get-go. Many years of oral tradition (man-made and deceptive teachings).
Yes, repentance is not a work of man, but a grace of God, as Romans 2:4 say, "Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?"
Vicki, But an individual man has to decide if he is going to repent or not. Taking that action is doing a work. And when Jesus invitied us to follow him he told us to pick up our crosses. That involves many works and sacrifices.

i don’t know what to do at this point i’m so confused , i’m so confused i pray to know the truth , i always read my bible and i have a relationship with God alone and i was born a catholic and i’m 14 years old and i can’t comprehend all this stuff someone please help am i doing everything right ? i have repented of all my sins , i read the bible , i trust God i have faith in him and i listen to his word but i live with my parents and they are catholic and they go to church so i have to go with him , will i go to hell ? idk what to do 😭
In the Bible, Romans 10:9-10 tells us, "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." But, like any free gift, it must be accepted. God promises that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Acts 2:21). To grab hold of God’s promise, pray right now: “Dear Jesus, forgive me of my sins. Be my Savior.” Jesus in turn will remove your guilt and make you a brand new person inside, and when you die, He promises you will live forever with Him (John 10:28-29). The relationship with God is restored. You are a new creation, and considered a child of God (John 1:12). By belief in God's Son Jesus you no longer stand condemned in God's eyes for your sin, as Romans 8:1-2 tells us, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death." Once saved, you are a whole new creation, as 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"

Can you watch this with your parents and ask them? I’m only 11 minutes in but the quote he used from the Pope is out of context. I am a former Protestant in the process of becoming a Catholic. There is no way he was a Catholic snd never read the Bible, Catholics read more of the Bible in one church service than Protestants do in a month.
@@happydaymakers3269 That is an anecdotal claim that you made (Catholics read more of the Bible in one church service than Protestants do in a month (I'm assuming you also mean in church service...if so, you certainly haven't been to every Christian church to even make this claim!)). Also, someone could read through the whole Bible (or read more of it in a church service than another church) and it won't make a world of difference if they aren't putting their faith in Jesus and putting the Word into practice. James 1:22-25 You reference the Bible as though it's of importance but say you are becoming a Catholic, which has extra doctrines. Do you not believe the Bible is the infallible word of God (which makes zero reference to Mary worship/prayer, praying to saints, doing rosary, purgatory, confessing to priests, etc.?)?
@happydaymaker Mr Gendron said he WAS Catholic. IF that was a lie, someone would have exposed him long before now. There’s no good reason for you to accuse him. Catholics read/study The Bible more than all others ? I live in an area with lots & Lots of X-Catholics. In conversations with them, NONE said anything about Bible reading/studying EXCEPT that once they did so, they left Catholicism.
“I AM The WAY, The TRUTH, and The LIFE, NO One Comes unto The Father, But By ‘M-E’.” ~ JESUS CHRIST ~ (St John 14:6) ~~~ “For there is One GOD, and One ‘Mediator’ Between GOD and man, the man CHRIST JESUS.” ~ Apostle Paul ~ (1 Tim 2:5) ~~~ “And Call NO man your ‘Father’ upon the earth; For ‘O-N-E’ is your Father, which is in Heaven.” ~ JESUS CHRIST ~ (St Matthew 23:9) ~~~ :)
Well as long as Mike doesn't claim that Calvinism is the Gospel, we are dong well. There are many of his persuasion that claim Calvinism is the Gospel, which is not the same as the Good News Jesus and the Apostles taught.
I don't like the papacy and pray for catholics. they claim Peter was the FIRST pope, right? One, Peter was the main teacher to the Jews and the RCC are gentiles so why do they say Peter was a "pope?" Second, aren't popes "supposed" to be celibate? Unmarried? According to God's Word, Peter was married. Oh, and another issue I have is they are LOVED by the world,even non-catholics but Jesus said we would be HATED and PERSECUTED by the world because they first hated Him. THAT should stand out to Christians right off the bat that the RCC is a "false and worldly" church system. God bless and keep spreading the truth.

Having a pedigree of apostolic succession or being able to trace a church’s roots back to the "first church" is important to show true consistency for being the true church. What is given is repeated comparisons between what false teachers teach and what the first church taught, as recorded in Scripture. Whether a church is the "true church" or not is also determined by comparing its teachings and practices to that of the New Testament church, as recorded in Scripture. For instance, in Acts 20:17-38, the Apostle Paul has an opportunity to talk to the church leaders in the large city of Ephesus one last time face to face. In that passage, he tells them that false teachers will not only come among them but will come FROM them (vv. 29-30). Paul commits them to the safekeeping of "God and to the word of His grace" (v. 32). Thus, truth could also be determined by depending upon God and "the word of His grace" (i.e., Scripture, see John 10:35). So we have the prediction that the protestant Churches would come from within .... the Catholic Church (at the reformation ) As the bible was not compiled until 390's at the Council of Rome and Synod of Hippo we also know it must not be scripture alone for out of Catholicism we got the compilation of the Bible !!!
It is good to hear from someone that knows what and how I learned in the Catholic Church. That life begins Outside the Catholic Church/ Life with Jesus Christ!!
Mary....I would like to hear from other RCC women. I am 57 and think I've finally left, however I struggle with feeling Evangelical services are worship. Doesn't feel as reverent. Pray for me please!
K M Give it time, I was Catholic for42 years, and now I am 55. It took years to find a church that was not a religion (The devils playground) but now, I actually have a relationship with Christ. Never could say that as a Catholic. Well, I guess I may have said it, but did not really understand it. Now I do.
K M ...please know that you’re being prayed for! It took me a long time to figure out who I was after leaving the Catholic Church. I knew I was saved, but Protestants spoke a completely different language than I was used to. BUT....just stay in God’s Word. He will lead you & direct you. Plus, worship isn’t irrelevant, it’s just different in Protestant churches. In time, you will feel more comfortable, so hang in there. And know that people are praying. Blessings.....
Leaving Gods Holy Catholic Church is to withdraw from Jesus ..... The first church-its growth, doctrine, and practices-were recorded for us in the New Testament.

Listen to Mike Gendron and read your Bible. Learn about Jesus from the Gospels and not your false church and men who are lost sinners like you.
I am a gay Christian who has renounced his sexuality for the sake of the gospel and the sake of the Lord Jesus' teachings. The elite in the church need to renounce their self-love, and come to Christ for love and forgiveness.
CJ SB Good for you.. I am sure it is a struggle at time but obedience to Christ saves our souls.
CJ SB Renounce even the Gay part, as that can only confuse people. You are set free from that nature, so also let go of even the name of the sin. I do not tell people that I am an adulterous Christian, or a liar Chris.or murderer Christian as I was in thought, though I was that and worse, but since I became a new born in Christ, that life is gone. You are a new creation in Christ Jesus. By the grace of God you are saved and kept saved as long as you keep in relationship with Jesus.
+CJ SB God bless you, I wish you the best!
God bless you in your newness of life in Christ Jesus but renounce the title gay which you no longer walk in that life style. Put on your new name Christian for old things are done away with. Put on the garment of righteousness which is by the grace of God.
+CJ SB you are gay or you was, not the same !
Halleluya, 3.33 exactly my story, glory to our Lord Jesus Christ!
Brilliant stuff. What a lovely man this guy is. So loving and Biblical. May the Lord help any genuine seeker find the truth.
Gendon has lied to you about the catholic faith ... CATHOLICS make the Eucharistic sacrifice to God as told to in scripture ..JOHN 6 : 44-66 and the Last Supper ... not what Gendron says at 11:20 ... Find truth not the words of a liar ... Jesus Christ is the Way the TRUTH and the Life !!
Stop LYING!!! The Catholic's pagan offerings to Nimrod, Semiramis, and Tammuz, is the Eucharist ritual that they do every SUNday. Just look at the Monstrous, its Baal (another name for Nimrod) Pagan Sun worship, as the Sun shaped host is placed in the Crescent Moon (Semiramis, Ashtoreth, Astarte, etc), symbolizing the ancient Pagan Sex Act bringing forth the crowned and conquering new Sun (Tammuz), with the union of the Sun and the Moon deities. This is nothing more than RENAMED Babylonian Paganism. There is a massive Pagan Obelisk in the center of Vatican Square, which the big circle is a Pagan Solar Sun Wheel.
Actually Mike Gendron is absolutely correct, Jesus made the offering, Jesus laid down his life, not you not some priest, Jesus. It says nineteen times the Catechism says that the catholic church is offering up Jesus as a sacrifice. In John 6:44-66 the Jews are talking about bread and wine made of wheat and grapes, while Jesus is talking about bread and wine made of the Holy Spirit. Communion is a commemoration of the offering He made for our sins, eucharist is an unbiblical invention of the Council of Trent in 1545 and it says so in the catechism paragraphs 1376 and 1413
The whole of Christianity is summed up in John 6:40 which you have ignored
For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
Doug you are also lying YOU actually said ""Catechism says that the catholic church is offering up Jesus as a sacrifice"" WHE|RE in the catechism ?? Protestants who hate the catholic Church circulate these lies and never o for EVIENCE ... The Catechism has over 1000 bible references !! .....Gendon has lied to you about the catholic faith ... CATHOLICS make the Eucharistic sacrifice to God as told to in scripture ..JOHN 6 : 44-66 and the Last Supper ... not what Gendron says at 11:20 ... Find truth not the words of a liar ... Jesus Christ is the Way the TRUTH and the Life !!
Look, dude, sorry if I know more about your religion than you do, I've been blessed with an inquiring mind and a Catholic upbringing and education. And I truly forgive you for your false accusations (you know, calling me a liar for presenting you with honest, documented facts), you were probably speaking from the heart and as a man of the bible you know what Jesus said about the heart: ""For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders." (Matthew 15:19)
As for the Catechism having over 1,000 bible references - so what? In Matthew 4:6 Satan attempted to tempt Christ and quoted the bible twice. (For your edification it was Psalm 91:11-12) If you noticed, the Catechism also quotes the Council of Trent quite often. The council of Trent is most famous for contradicting the bible and handing down anathema which only God can do. (Canons 9, 12, 13, 14, 23, 24, 30, and 33)
As for your ignorance of what what the Catechism says, look up Paragraph 1330, 1350, 1359, 1360, 1361, 1362, 1364,1365, 1366 (especially), 1367 (even more so)
Let me offer you some advice out of love - do what I did, sit down and read the bible, the whole bible, cover to cover, verse by verse "and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." (John 8:32)
It's good to find this. I was raised Roman Catholic and know that most Christian leaders have no idea how to help ex-Catholics to be deprogrammed. Thank you for your ministry. There is a saying, "Once a Catholic, always a Catholic." It is an unhappy thing and breaks people.
Preaching from Christian radio programs and also reading the scripture on my own helped break my programming. Just comparing the difference from "Catholic radio" which had no bible and very little preaching versus The Christian radio stations which would have numerous, world renowned preachers, preaching from the bible was a profound awakening for me. I even talked with other ex-Catholics one which said in regard to this comparison "with the Catholic station it is a BIG NOTHING!" Yes, that is one great way to deprogram and it takes time, but the "born again" process will carry one through.
Deprogrammed into Hell!
If you are outside the Catholic Church you do not really know Christ that well ... That is why in the last 2 years 3 Church of England Bishops have given up power wealth and status to join the Catholic Church !!!
Deprogrammed from what? This is a joke or a malicious deception. Catholics famously are free to come and go as they please. It is laughable to suggest there is brainwashing from which you need to be deprogrammed!! Hilarious!! When you say you were raised a Catholic, I presume you were from a nominal Catholic background where your family were not committed Catholics who read their scripture and attended Church. Or maybe they were very religious Catholics who did the weird so-called Catholic things that are not in fact Catholic or Christian.
As a former Catholic and a Messianic Jew, oh so very true... Good discussion.
Hey Pat, you a mess and you know it.
Very true
Patrick Runcie, Ex-Catholics like they never really practiced their faith enough to know sound Catholic teaching. They become ex-Catholics for emotional or social reasons, or refuse to accept 2000 year old moral teachings on Matrimony and the evil consequences of the cotraceptive mentality. They may have an authentic encounter with Christ at another church, and make the false conclusion that Jesus is not in the Church they grew up in. They become influenced by slick sounding ministers who have no qualms about LYING about what Catholics really believe, or read books by hate cultists who distort the facts of history and breed contempt and intolerance. Or they come across "Christian" web sites that gives them the same adrenaline rush as Chick Publications or Dave Hunt. It's a form of spiritual pornography and these bigots are the crack dealers of anti-Catholic bigoty, selling their "religion" in the slums of fear and ignorance, on the look out for weak ignorant Catholics to exploit. When a Protestant converts to Catholicism, he/she may revere their former church, and even attend. Animousity is rare. But when a Catholic turns his back on the Eucharist, he beomes an anti-Catholic. And the real reasons are never about theology. If that were the case, why are so many Protestant Bible scholars and ministers converting to Catholicism? I have a list. Starting with the President of the Evangelical Society who returned to the Church just last year: Franscis Beckwith... and then there is Robert Koons...professor of philosophy at U. of Texas...and .... Richard & Danielle Borgman: Evangelicals , Dr.Scott Hahn , Former United Methodist - Marcus Grodi, Tim Staples: Former Assemblies of God Youth Minister , Kristine Franklin & Rosalind Moss: Former Evangelical & Jewish Convert .
aughalough 1- I never questioned my Catholic faith but when I read the history of the Popes I was deeply saddened and disgusted. Their degenerate behaviour and persecution throughout the centuries towards people who simply wanted to read the Bible in their own language started me on a long and painful journey away from Catholicism. When Pope Francis was elected, I read the Jesuit Oath and was shocked once more. I do miss the Eucharist. I will agree with you on that but even today, with countless new clerical sex abuse scandals coming to light (40% of Priests in one Australian order) I can no longer be part of this corrupt entity called The Catholic Church. Indeed, I agree with Pope Paul VI, who stated back in 1972 that 'the smoke of Satan had entered the Church'. The Bible is now my guide - especially John 3.16 which has helped me heal and place my trust in Christ alone.
@@aughalough1 so what ! Just because a protestant preacher converts to catholoisim just shows that their eyes were never open . And their eyes are glued shut now more than ever !!!How sad !

I was in a waiting room today. The lady next to me was reading a book. I don't know why I asked her what she was reading, but I did. She said this is a book of the church. I could see all the symbols that it was a Catholic book. I went on to ask her, does she read the Bible? (how rude of me right?), She looked at me so puzzeled and said, well this is the Bible or has Scripture in it. Oh, I said. The I said, My bible is THIS big. I used my hands to show the size of my Bible. Oh so lost the Catholics are.
She was probably reading the New Testament and Psalms as the Giddiens also produce. Catholics produce more bibles and distribute than any other church or sect...
As a former Protestant, the Catholics read and know more scripture in a single church service than any Protestant church.
My Catholic brother and his wife ask me where do I get all this information about God from ?and I just said the Bible.

Hey, who ever told you this lied to you. The pope never said this, he is under a demonic attack.
Grim2Slim Yes I heard the pope say that, the pope strongly believes in evolution. He therefore does not believe the truth (Bible) and thus is not Christian.
@@richardurban2269 Ok, give me a direct quote from an official source? The Catholic Church does allow people to believe in evolution. However, you still as a Catholic have to believe in Adam and Eve under the pain of Mortal sIn. Meaning if you don't believe in Adam and Eve you will in fact go to hell according to the popes who used the keys of David to bind these laws on earth and Jesus has bond in heaven. Without Adam and Eve there is no Jesus and therefore no Catholic mass and bible. As the science shows us that we did in fact come from one man scientific Adam and one woman Mitochondrial Eve. But the the evolution part is still a theory as pope John Paul the great pointed out it is a theory bec it has a probability rate. Pope Benedict pointed out that the probability rate for evolution is less than 1%.

Francis said atheists can go to heaven. If this isn't heresy what is? Unam Sanctam said no salvation unless you submit to the pope. Then the church cast 20 anathemas on protestants at Trent. Then the church said protestants are "separated brethren", now atheists can go to heaven! This is the unchanging infallible church!
I'm glad I don't have to follow some human man. Reading the whole bible doesn't take anything special except for the Holy Spirit. When I set down years ago to read the whole New Testament it's like I finally understood it all. It all just made sense.

It's nice to see a rational & respectful person talk about the pope. A lot of people just like to make up stuff, & can't be taken seriously. And I agree with Dr. Reagan's advice to Catholics to read the Bible, the words will show the truth. Also, Mike Gendron said that the only things in life that are eternal are the "Word's of God" & "souls of men," very powerful words.
Are you putting your faith in Christ alone and what He accomplished on the cross, his burial, and resurrection on the third day? Look to Christ for salvation, and to nothing else! Christ alone!! If not repent!
Betrayal has been around since Jesus was still alive. We were not surprised when there was betrayal in this era.
The pope is popular with people who want affirmation for their sinful lives..Instead of condemning sin and sinful behavior the pope says that sin is relative and inconsequentail..Without asking for forgivness and repenting for our sins the pope says that only the catholic religion with its all encompassing acceptance of every deviant behavior is the truth ..
the Pope actually says the opposite to what you claim ... He says it is not for him to condemn people because God is the Judge. That does not mean we can sin and still enter the Kingdom of Heaven Show me where the Pope said "Sin was relative and inconsequential" FACT is that such a claim is another anti -Catholic lie !!

Found this article by Bob Sullivan
Mike Gendron says he is a former Catholic who has been saved by the Bible. He travels the United States whenever he can, in search of Catholics who will buy his books, tracts and his version of Scripture. He also publishes a lot of misinformation on the internet. His entire mission is to convince Catholics that they need to separate themselves from the Catholic Church if they want to end up in Heaven someday. There is a lot of dishonesty in Mike’s approach to his “ministry”, but the one consistent truth behind everything he does is this: Mike is allergic to facts. He sees things his way and his way only. If you present a simple fact to him that runs contrary to his personal interpretation, he stomps off like an angry child. I know because this is exactly how he behaved when I showed up at one of his “Bible Conferences” with one of my buddies. To see what I’m talking about, you can read here, I think you will find it very entertaining.
The events leading up to that article are kind of interesting as well, as are some things that occured after Mr. Gendron visited Nebraska on that occasion.
Several months prior to my meeting with Mr. Gendron, I wrote a letter to a local church, correcting the minister on numerous misunderstandings his particular church apparently held regarding the Catholic Church. The minister did not appreciate the information I provided him, but he did pass my letter off to a group of guys who had a solution in mind and that solution was that hey would hire Mike Gendron to come to Lincoln, Nebraska, to debate me. On Mike Gendrons website I discovered that he was going to put on a little “Bible Conference” in Central City, Nebraska. I decided to attend some of his event in order to see how he behaved during his “conference”. That is how the Catholic Answers article came about.
After my visit with Mr. Gendron, I let a few weeks pass before I contacted the group of Christians in Lincoln, regarding the upcoming debate. At that point, Mr. Ball informed me that they had cancelled the debate. I had hoped that Mr. Gendron would not have gotten cold feet after our brief encounter in Central City, but alas, he must have decided he would be better off avoiding the debate.
It is evident that the pastor of the little church in Central City caught a significant amount of criticism for the way he handled the situation when I had Mr. Gendron backed into a corner at the end of the second night of his “Bible Conference”. A few weeks later, he posted his sermon, justifying his unchristian behavior toward me. . In a nutshell, the pastor explained that he had to treat me uncharitably in order to protect them from the information I was offering them. I’ve since reached out to Pastor Prettyman, but he has not accepted my offer to sit down for a private discussion.
A few months ago, I joined one of Mike’s facebook pages and at one point, he engaged me in a brief discussion after one of this blatantly false posts. When I provided Scripture passages and historical facts to show how incorrect he was, he blocked me. I then emailed him and offered to debate him at an upcoming event of his in northern Kansas.
The point of all of this is to show several things about Mike Gendron:
He is dishonest;
His information is indefensible when his Scripture, Catechism and historical references are placed in context and he appears to realize this weakness;
He relies heavily on people to protect him from situations in which his claims are about to be proven false;
He does not actually practice what he preaches; He does not engage in honest dialogue regarding Scripture or the actual teachings of the Catholic Church.
Yes I pray that somehow those Catholics that really love THE LORD will find the real TRUTH soon before it's to late
so he claimed that he opened the bible for the first timer at 34 years of age But he previously said he had been a devout Catholic attending Mass and altar boy etc In the Mass we have 3 bible readings on weekdays and four on Sunday (counting the psalms) the main prayer is in accordance with John 6 The Body and blood of Christ (with direct quotes) This man contradicts himself often and mis represents Catholicism ... The reason why the reformation was successful was because Kings and Princes in Europe wanted the lands and wealth of the Church and in England Henry VIII wanted a divorce from his wife of 20 + years ... People did not decide for themselves ... But when Protestantism got a foothold the Catholic Church needed to explain about the truth of Christ and counter the lies told about Catholicism -- the Gendron repeats often like --- Catholics believe that have Mary as an alternative to Jesus --- Catholic Catechism "" Mary has the role of leading us to Christ" and "Worship is reserved for the Godhead alone (Father Son and Holy Spirit)" All Catholic sacraments are directly to God (Mary does not even get a mention in most sacraments)
As a previous roman catholic, born to their “faith “, an armchair pope watcher, I must confess that all the lies and lawless doctrine they teach and speak, is directly orchestrated by our enemy Satan himself. It began historically just after the books in our New Testament were written. As just a few generations had passed, many discussions began on were the original meanings and even the original doctrine of the Gospel. Another two or three hundred years pass, the victor of Rome began to be the most powerful Church leader, encompassing most of Europe. Then alas, the Holy Roman Empire was born with the political, and vicious warrior, Constitene
What are you talking about? Constatine was Roman and legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire.
The Holy Roman Empire was German and was established hundreds of years after.
@@svizzy4270 If you read early history of the Catholic Church and of the Holy Roman Empire, It did begin with Constantine with Rome as its head then morphed into the vastness of Europe. Once he died, his successors included the kings of different countries as the official Holy Roman Empire to control the masses and destroy their enemies, political or religious.
@@michaeldvorak8140 And the Holy Roman Empire was awesome.
Then we went to the "enlightenment". Secularism which is the downfall of our civilization. What do we have since then? Political ideologies removed from God and more importantly, Christianity. Those all only think in Philosophical Materialism, that everything is just Matter and Atoms. So what is the meaning of life? If you are just matter, noting is really important. If you die, the matter is still there. Everything becomes meaningless and every truth is subject of permanent change.
Btw. looking into your playlists. Jews, as long as they reject Jesus Christ are not saved. I do not know why you should be interested in them tbh.
@@svizzy4270 I do have love for the Jews. Was not Jesus a Jew? Did God the Father of all life give up on saving Jews? Is not the last week of years that Daniel prophecies about the Jewish Nation happen already?
No, Jesus will come back to destroy the evil world and establish His Kingdom. It will be at that time that the Jews will see the holes in his hands and side and begin to cry Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord . In that moment all Israel will be saved.
All men who reject Jesus as the Savior and their personal savior will not be saved from living thru eternity in constant torment, burning 🔥 with no chance of Life with God. This is what is said to all who heard the Gospel but cannot or will not accept the free gift of Salvation. When people make a choice they had better choose wisely; they should choose LIFE !
My 94-year-old Dad has knelt before the same statue of Saint Anthony for more than 50 years.
Catholics don't believe in the healing. In fact, people are canonized saint only when they are dead
and someone claims a miracle following the intercession of the dead. Ridiculous that catholic miracles are not possible when you are alive except when you are dead. I have joined a prophetic church after 50 years and I am happy. I am seeing the miracles now. I do not need a saint to pray for me.
"And what I was being taught as a Catholic was diametrically opposed to what the bible was teaching me in regards to salvation". Then he states that ""I read that we are saved by grace apart from merit; by faith apart from works; that Jesus was my all sufficient saviour; to repent of all the things I was doing to help Him save me etc., etc." It is strange that the "first" time he begins reading a bible he goes to all the Protestant strap lines, taken out of context as they inevitably are. We Catholics believe, as per scripture and Church teaching throughout the ages, that we are saved entirely by having faith in Jesus Christ, as Romans 10:9 says, "If anyone believes in their heart that Jesus is Lord, and confesses with their lips that He was raised from the dead, they will be saved." Also, in Ephesians 2 from verse 8, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast." But what no Protestant ever goes on to quote is verse 10, "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do". Of course we are saved by the grace and work of God through Jesus; that's what all Christians have believed for 2000 years! But unless we have works to demonstrate that we are saved, then I am sorry, scripture says we are NOT saved. Remember the parable of the goats and the sheep. The goats were damned because they believed in God but did not demonstrate that their faith was true. The Catholic position on this is fully thought out, complete and is not a sound-bite. It is proper theology and doctrine which should not be dismissed or denigrated.
The interviewer then goes on to share that he has encountered Catholics who don't read the bible and when they do they realise that the bible and Church teachings are opposed. So much to comment on!! Firstly, many Catholics are Catholic in name only and are ripe for conversion and in need of salvation - so please, please share your faith with any Catholic who has not been evangelised and send them back to their roots in the Catholic Church where they will be nurtured and brought up in the faith and presented to God, chaste and holy.
There are 1.3 billion Catholics worldwide, buy you can be sure than many of them, maybe the majority are not committed Catholics who have been evangelised properly and of course will not be reading scripture regularly. I have encountered many Protestants who are in the same boat i.e. who are nominal Protestants who also do not read or know scripture. Because those Catholics do not have a grounding in the faith, they won't actually know what true Church teaching is.
Regarding Church teachings being opposed to biblical truth, that is simply not true - what else can I say. And no, I will not respond to requests to answer a thousand questions about specific teachings as in my experience we just go down multiple rabbit holes to no avail. If people are genuinely interested in what the Church truly teaches then I am happy to engage.
Fantastic !! Thank You for getting the Truth Out
you are welcome .... I found the truth in HIS Catholic Church... The first church-its growth, doctrine, and practices-were recorded for us in the New Testament. Jesus, as well as His apostles, foretold that false teachers would arise, and indeed it is apparent from some of the New Testament epistles that these apostles had to fight against false teachers early on. Having a pedigree of apostolic succession or being able to trace a church’s roots back to the "first church" is important to show true consistency for being the true church. What is given is repeated comparisons between what false teachers teach and what the first church taught, as recorded in Scripture. Whether a church is the "true church" or not is also determined by comparing its teachings and practices to that of the New Testament church, as recorded in Scripture.
For instance, in Acts 20:17-38, the Apostle Paul has an opportunity to talk to the church leaders in the large city of Ephesus one last time face to face. In that passage, he tells them that false teachers will not only come among them but will come FROM them (vv. 29-30). Paul commits them to the safekeeping of "God and to the word of His grace" (v. 32). Thus, truth could also be determined by depending upon God and "the word of His grace" (i.e., Scripture, see John 10:35). So we have the prediction that the protestant Churches would come from within .... the Catholic Church (at the reformation ) As the bible was not compiled until 390's at the Council of Rome and Synod of Hippo we also know it must not be scripture alone for out of Catholicism we got the compilation of the Bible !!!
Thank you for sharing God bless
Nobody knows freedom like a former Roman Catholic. Up until 1978, I was a venerator (read worshipper) of Mary to the point of making a pilgrimage to Lourdes, France in 1958 marking the 100th anniversary of the "'apparitions" to Bernadette Soubirous.

@@1234poppycat Actually you have that backwards… It’s a prediction that the Catholic Church would creep in… Savage wolves. Acts 20:29-31.
Jesus founded the “ Christian” Church… Act 11:26. 110 years later, a bunch of savage wolves got together and decided that Jesus‘s name for the church wasn’t good enough, and they needed to change it. They decided on the word Catholic. Then in about 350, Constantine decided that wasn’t good enough either, and he changed it to Roman Catholic.
According to the Roman Catholic Church… Nothing Jesus did was good enough, starting with naming his church, and ending with his sacrifice on the cross. They felt they could improve on everything Jesus did… And they did so at the peril of all the souls that follow them.😿
@@gloriastreet4684 that is a new one on me . Did you just make that up or were you told that by your hate preaching friend? Catholic means universal so THE church was growing and this was a descriptive word. Roman Catholic is interchangeable with Catholic even today. Constantine converted to Catholicism and being the powerful Roman Emperor facilitated a number of church councils for the one original church
@@1234poppycat Ha ha you’re funny🤣. Did I make it up? LOL. No it’s actually The words of God, and facts from history. Nothing you said disputed either. So my comment stands exactly as written.
@@gloriastreet4684 your fiction about the name of the only church God created is not in the bible. - try reading it rather than the lies of the hate preachers
I don’t see how the Big Bang contradicts God spoke the cosmos into existence. In fact the “just right “ particulars of the cosmos puts the earth at the center again. Not only creation but Gods great love which takes every aspect extant in the cosmos necessary for life on earth.
The Bible says that we are to test the spirits. In other words if anyone believes God, through His Holy Spirit is speaking to us we are to test it against the Word of God. If it contradicts the Word (the Boble) it is NOT God the Holy Spirit speaking but an evil one. We cannot be too careful about this.
Four cardinals have made a request to Pope Francis to clarify grave errors in his apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia. Some of the errors they cited Pope Francis as making include the following:
• No one is condemned to hell
• The divorced and civilly remarried are not in a state of serious sin, and they can receive sanctifying grace and grow in charity.
• A Catholic can have full knowledge of the law and voluntarily choose to break it in a serious matter, but not be in a state of mortal sin.
• A person with full knowledge of a divine law can sin by choosing to obey that law.
• One’s conscience can judge that sexual sins can sometimes be morally right or requested or commanded by God.
• Jesus wills that the Church abandon her discipline of refusing the Eucharist to the divorced and remarried and of refusing absolution to the divorced and remarried who do not express contrition.
Cardinal Burke says if Pope Francis won’t clarify these “serious errors,” the Cardinals must make a “formal act of correction.”
Just in case you didn't know, Mr. AJA "Deacon" these Cardinals are following proper canonical process. This step of making a 'Formal act of correction' is, according to RCC discipline, the first step in declaring someone - anyone including the pope - a formal heretic. According to Cardinal Burk "There is, in the Tradition of the Church, the practice of correction of the Roman Pontiff. It is something that is clearly quite rare. But if there is no response to these questions, then it would be a question of taking a formal act of correction of a serious error.”
You mean that Mr. Pope ISN'T infallible? Looks like Mike Gendron is right.
you have taken sensationalist headlines and not bothered to read the text !! 1 The Cardinals are saying they want clarification and one has said it is in their power to issue a formal act of correction. 2 Papal infallibility has always been subject to restrictions and in any case is confined to doctrinal / scriptural and moral matters.. Gendon is wrong on the Catholic Church.. I follow Jesus who became the Christ and HIS church not Gendon !!

At the age of 34 he began reading the bible for the first time; even though he says he was a Catholic for 37 years and taught Catholic High School Christian doctrine. The numbers do not fit, but more importantly, how did he miss the bombardment of Scripture throughout his 37 years - in Mass, in ALL Catholic services, in school, at home, (The majority of Catholics have/had a large family bible that came out on a regular basis and the wonderful stories read by Mum or Dad)?? And how on earth was he teaching Christian doctrine at a Catholic school and totally miss the scriptural basis for Catholic school curricula? The story just does not add up. For all Catholics watching this video, please do not be distracted. As Paul said to the Philippians, ""Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things". Let us concentrate on the truth, and think about the things of God and not allow ourselves to be attracted to deception.
How many people who were Catholic in name only say "I was a very devout Catholic." There are countless souls in Hell who because of their pride believed they were "devout" while on earth. Pride is the greatest threat to salvation, and in this Dark End Times Apostasy nearly everyone is ruled by pride. We are now in "those days" Christ warned us would come in Matthew 24:22 "And if those days were not shortened no one would be saved, but for the sake of the elect, they will be shortened." The Divine Intervention needed to "shorten these days" is coming soon in the form of the great Warning! Pray for the virtue of humility, without which you have no hope in eternal life !!!
Kurt Homan the number is probably less than the people that say I'm Christian but do very very un-Christian like things
Kurt Homan, Protestantism is pride. Lucifer was one of Gods beloved archangel until he heard that Christ would become a Godman born of a virgin women. It was his pride that said no!I will not serve and was defeated by St. Michael the archangel and cast into hell with his other angels, Pride, Martin Luther was a Catholic Priest monk who said no I will not serve, PRIDE!
Kurt Homan being a devot catholic is not a sin
Kurt Homan u are the proud one, who are u to judge who is going to hell, only God can judge, God in His Infinite Mercy and Love, will give everyone a chance to repend before judgement, if u +those here are Christians u all shld not gossip abt the Catholic Church, if u hv nothing good to say abt the Catholic Church, hold ur tongues, say nothing, don't gossip but pray, words or work without love is not from Jesus Matthew Chapter 7
1 'Do not judge, and you will not be judged;
2 because the judgements you give are the judgements you will get, and the standard you use will be the standard used for you.
3 Why do you observe the splinter in your brother's eye and never notice the great log in your own?
4 And how dare you say to your brother, "Let me take that splinter out of your eye," when, look, there is a great log in your own? 5 Hypocrite! Take the log out of your own eye first, and then you will see clearly enough to take the splinter out of your brother's eye.
John - Chapter 15
"I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples.
Mathew 15 'If your brother does something wrong, go and have it out with him "alone," ( not in public )between your two selves. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother. we Catholics do not need ignorant n misguided advises, bfore u all come together to gossip abt the Catholic Church, u + all the over 30,000 denominations Bible Churches shld first agree with each other on the Bible n reconcile, not starting a new Church every time u all disagree, lets pray that by the Graces of God not our work that we will one day all come together to worship the One True God. peace be with you
A Catholic for 37 years? How on earth did he not encounter Jesus during all that time? I don’t think it was the Church’s fault that he neglected the most important aspects of being a Catholic - to know, love and serve God. I simply do not recognise this man’s understanding of Catholicism.
The Catholic Church is the Church called by Jesus, appointed by Him with leaders called and anointed by Him to lead it forward with the grace and power of the Holy Spirit. I can’t believe he designates early apostates as being the ancestors of Catholics today is simply mind-boggling and requires doing violence to the Word of God. When you state something like this as being the "truth", how are people who do not know better going to handle it, except to accept it as the truth? The truth is that the Church has been attacked by so many men like this for 2000 years; it shouldn't be a surprise to me as the Lord promised that this would be the case. It still shocks me though, when it comes from people who you would think should know better.
I am a Catholic Christian, and very proud to be so. I encountered Jesus through the action of the Holy Spirit when I was 17 and have found in the Catholic Church - it’s teachings, its ministers, its art, it’s wonderful Christ-centre liturgies - an absolute treasure. On top of that we have long list of holy men and women going back to Jesus, who have brought the scriptures to us, and who constantly bring life to the Body of Christ. Why on earth would I or anyone else, give that up?
Mr Gendron says he was the first person to bring scripture study to a Catholic Church in Dallas. What he does not make clear is the context. The context is that every single day each Mass throughout the world has three to four readings from scripture, which is proclaimed in the sermon of the priest. Also, each priest, nun, and serious lay person reads the Office of the Catholic Church multiple times per day. The Office is a series of hymns, psalms, scripture readings, prayers and inspiring words. It was wonderful that Mr Gendron shared a bible study in a Catholic Church, but please do not mislead the listeners that Catholicism is devoid of Scriptural knowledge or experience.
I have only watched 1.5 minutes of this interview and it is so far from any truth that I will take a break and may come back to it, to give the man a chance to speak some truth.
A catholic friend told me they were not allowed to read the bible because only the priest can understand it.
And many priests read it in Latin, which most cannot understand (which makes no sense). Why read something to people who can't understand what they're hearing? It reminds me of a cult.
That's because it IS a cult.If you read Acts Simon Magus was the founder of the catholic church (counterfeit Christianity)

Well, everything is free to choose any teacher according to his or her own taste and preference. Gendron, Calvin, Schilder, Luther, Wesley or whatever local pastor anyone wishes. They all teach their personal interpretations of the Bible as being the Gospel. They all present themselves as the pillar of truth. This is exactly prophesied, just so you know...

We Catholics have a proverb about one’s width of reading, depth of study, and height of understanding of the Bible and where this leads to: “Weak Catholics become Evangelicals; Strong Evangelicals become Catholics.” You Evangelicals evangelizing Catholics, I invite you to read, study, and understand the Bible ever more fully. (Emphasis on the "fully," meaning completely from Genesis to Revelation and its biblical theology, not just the usual clobber texts you are taught to throw at us Catholics!) We Catholics are happy to welcome you home to the original, true and full Christian church, founded by Jesus himself, the Catholic Church.
We here at Lamb & Lion Ministries love Catholics and pray for them to be freed of the cultic Roman Catholic Church teachings and so come to know the biblical Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
We’ve written on the differences between Protestant and Catholic beliefs at www.lamblion.com/articles/articles_religious8.php.
@@ChristInProphecy this declaration of yours just clearly shows how inadequate is your understanding of the Bible.

You are not yet a strong Evangelical.
@@ChristInProphecy be a strong Evangelical, instead of “evangelizing” Catholics, “evangelize” yourself by reading, studying, and understanding completely and fully the Bible, that is from Genesis to Revelation and what the Bible means, that is, its “biblical theology.” As I emphasize, don’t just familiarize yourself with isolated and unconnected clobber texts you are to memorize to be able to throw them at us Catholics whenever you have the chance. Read, study, understand the Bible fully and completely. Remember, by then we Catholics will welcome you home to the original, true, and full Christian church founded by Jesus himself, the Catholic Church.

Where in the Bible Mike does it state there should be Wednesday night scripture study? Or altar calls? Or that Jesus Christ must be my "personal savior"? Chapter and verse please.
and who gave the popes the authority to change the Sabbath, worship Mary and so called saints and to worship idols??? and yes, you can have fish on Mondays. homosexual priests and their pope leader are an eternal abomination
Jesus gave HIS Church the Authority. Ever hear of "thou are Peter and upon this Rock I will build my Church, and I give you the key to the kingdom"? And they did not have Bibles back then. Only haters believe we worship Mary and the Saints. We worship the living God alone. Yes, there have been bad people in HIS Church (just as there have been bad people in any church) but that does not take away from the fact that the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ. You church was founded by some guy (or gal) with a "better idea" in the 1500s, 1600s or 1700s. Guess who I will stay with. Guess.
+Al Vargesko : defenders of the Catholic Church love to use this verse to expand their propaganda. It was the fact that Peter recognised that Jesus was / is the Son of God. Christ is the corner stone. The popes are a millstone to false belief
What propaganda Matthew? Quit drinking the protestant kool aid and investigate the true Church of Jesus Christ. Read the Bible and see that Peter was in fact designated the leader of HIS Church by Jesus Christ himself. Of course Jesus is the cornerstone of our faith, but Jesus needed a leader with the Authority to decide matters of faith and morals once Jesus ascended. Jesus KNEW what he was doing. and he spent 3 years with his Apostles teaching them and leading by his example. After he left, he empowered the 12 with the Holy Spirit and the Church grew like wildfire. The Apostles HAD NO BIBLES. Repeat, the APOSTLES HAD NO BIBLES. So how did the early Christians worship and spread the faith? By word of mouth, by the oral tradition. The first Bible was not compiled until long after the last Apostle breathed his last. Yet the Church continued to grow even in the face of persecution and numerous heresies against the faith (Arianism, Donatism, Gnosticism, etc) which were all defeated by the Holy Spirit. Look at history for yourself and see the truth. Yes Jesus used flawed men to grow his Church. Peter denied him three times; Thomas doubted; Paul persecuted the early Christians. Yet Jesus used these flawed men and made them great Saints. The Catholic Church has the Authority of the Pope, while protestants have NOTHING. When protestors argue, they just start a new church. How convenient. How sinful. How arrogant that any man thinks he knows better than Christ Jesus.
+Al Vargesko : go back to my previous comment. open your bloody eyes
Pope francis says Jesus "FAILED"on the cross thats enough to throw him back to Argitina , shame on him for trying to mock my lord and savior with such a statement , that was the pinnacle of his great victory over sin for all of us and shame on this beast of an institution that permits this,Amen
You have just repeated another hate preacher lie What Pope Francis said was ""By the values and standards of none believers and atheists Jesus failed on the Cross. But as Christians we know this to be untrue. His resurrection was the triumph over death and sin that enables our salvation "" Now why do you suppose you have been lied to by the hate preachers ????
2 Corinthians 11:2-3Expanded Bible (EXB)
2 [L For] I am jealous over you with a ·jealousy that comes from God [or godly jealousy]. I promised to give you to Christ, as your only husband. I want to give you as his pure ·bride [L virgin]. 3 But I am afraid that your minds will be ·led away [or corrupted] from your ·true [sincere] and pure following of Christ just as Eve was ·tricked [deceived] by the ·snake [serpent] with his ·evil ways [cunning; craftiness; Gen. 3:1-6].
The first church-its growth, doctrine, and practices-were recorded for us in the New Testament. Jesus, as well as His apostles, foretold that false teachers would arise, and indeed it is apparent from some of the New Testament epistles that these apostles had to fight against false teachers early on. Having a pedigree of apostolic succession or being able to trace a church’s roots back to the "first church" is important to show true consistency for being the true church. What is given is repeated comparisons between what false teachers teach and what the first church taught, as recorded in Scripture. Whether a church is the "true church" or not is also determined by comparing its teachings and practices to that of the New Testament church, as recorded in Scripture.
For instance, in Acts 20:17-38, the Apostle Paul has an opportunity to talk to the church leaders in the large city of Ephesus one last time face to face. In that passage, he tells them that false teachers will not only come among them but will come FROM them (vv. 29-30). Paul commits them to the safekeeping of "God and to the word of His grace" (v. 32). Thus, truth could also be determined by depending upon God and "the word of His grace" (i.e., Scripture, see John 10:35). So we have the prediction that the protestant Churches would come from within .... the Catholic Church (at the reformation ) As the bible was not compiled until 390's at the Council of Rome and Synod of Hippo we also know it must not be scripture alone for out of Catholicism we got the compilation of the Bible !!!

The Bible doesn't support Catholicism. We've had this conversation many times and you've yet to show me catholcism in the scriptures. Smoke and mirrors AJ.
Galatians 1:8-10 KJV
8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
I came to Christ as a lifelong Catholic in 1981 as well. I started writing a similar book soon after, but dropped it after a little while because I knew it would separate me from my family even more than I already was. I think I still might have those first few chapters on one of those 5 1/2 inch floppy discs somewhere in the basement...
Leave it in the Basement and Come to Christ in HIS Catholic Church Read your bible Study the Bible.... If you are outside the Catholic Church you do not really know Christ that well ... That is why in the last 2 years 3 Church of England Bishops have given up power wealth and status to join the Catholic Church !!!
@1234poppycat Surely not a Catholic telling me to study the Bible? I've never had that happen before, and I had 12 years of Catholic education in the 1960's and early 70's .
I have studied scripture in depth for over 40 years since I was justified by Faith and saved by Grace. I am on my 16th cover to cover journey, starting the book of Jerimiah today. That is an Old Testament book if you have trouble finding it.
@@JimSkees1955 Well if you study the bible as opposed to reading and dipping into it as you seem to suggest you will come closer to Christ and his catholic Church ... Just in the last two years 3 Church of England Bishops have done that and given up so much power status and £££ to get closer to Jesus in HIS Catholic Church (currently 2 are catholic priests)
@1234poppycat As I noted earlier, I never wrote that book because I did not want to alienate my family. That respect has widened over the years to where one of my primary prayer concerns as a believer is unity in the body of Christ as He shared with the Father in John 17:20-23 through the Power of the Holy Spirit. Every believer who sincerely prays "Our Father, who art in Heaven..." and calls on Jesus as Lord, by definition is brother or sister in Christ. I pray that you can understand that. We are called to a personal relationship with Jesus of Nazareth as our Savior, not an allegiance to any denomination created by man.
its 2020, the pope finally got something right ! He said he was not the vicar of Christ on earth. See that, if you aim at nothing, you will hit it everytime
Where did the Bible come from? Who do you think put the Old Testament and New Testament together and gave the world the first Bible?
It was the Catholic Church, and Saint Jerome in particular around trhe year 400 AD. Before that, no Bible. Does that mean there was no faith?
The English Bible was first translated by Tyndale n German Bible by Martin Luther n for this both of them were burnt alive by the then Pope's of Rome because the people would come to know the truth which Rome was trying to hide from the lay people even now they discourage the people from reading the Bible because thay will clearly be disrobed n suffer shame of their wicked deeds, which even Paul has warned us about in Romans 1, see this sin of homosexuality has been prevelant since Babylon years, carried down throughout the empires that ruled the Earth during Rome it had got beyond endurance, n Hebrews tells us ( God sent His son IN time) to do away with all evil, previously God has destroys ( Sodom n gommorah) but now he wants to save the people God is not happy with anyones destruction, the God says ( people r lost for lack of knowledge) hence the don't know the way of salvation n make up their own ways, those r different religions who take u in different directions n u get lost, but God has opened only one sure way to heaven n that's thru Christ so readers plz take the route God has made for us
*THE ONLY 'HOLY FATHER' IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY* - all others claiming or accepting that title are just imposters.
"HOLY" means to be 'cut-off', 'set apart', 'pure'. If anyone can claim these, and many other god-like attributes, then they must surely be able to 'prove' they are God. None other but Jesus Christ has proven this to date-not by association or acclamation of any others.

Anything more is heresy and leads to hell. The Catholic church is heresy and will be disposed of by God in the end.
Martin Luther to Pope Leo X, January 6, 1519 “I never approved of a schism, nor will I approve of it for all eternity. . . . That the Roman Church is more honored by God than all others is not to be doubted. St, Peter and St. Paul, forty-six Popes, some hundreds of thousands of martyrs, have laid down their lives in its communion, having overcome Hell and the world; so that the eyes of God rest on the Roman church with special favor. Though nowadays everything is in a wretched state, it is no ground for separating from the Church. On the contrary, the worse things are going, the more should we hold close to her, for it is not by separating from the Church that we can make her better. We must not separate from God on account of any work of the devil, nor cease to have fellowship with the children of God who are still abiding in the pale of Rome on account of the multitude of the ungodly. There is no sin, no amount of evil, which should be permitted to dissolve the bond of charity or break the bond of unity of the body. For love can do all things, and nothing is difficult to those who are united". -

And finally for the moment. The strap line of this video is "Who is Pope Francis? Where did he come from? And what is he up to? Is Mr Gendron really claiming that he knows all their is to know about Francis, whom he does not know, has never met, has never had a conversation with? Audacious.

@@ShirleyAnnPetrillo-oj7sc Hi Shirley. I am still a Catholic, and have studied scripture and the Church for many years. Does that make me also an expert? I agree that anyone can express their own perspective on any matter, however, that does not make them correct. Mr Gendron is very badly informed and his conclusions are simply wrong.
I wouldn't welkom this pope at my house!!!
And i wouldn't go to school if he were there
I once heard a Catholic comment on Pope Francis, that he (Pope Francis) “is a Pope that doesn’t particularly like Catholics.” It took me a moment to process that, but after I did I agreed.
So you agreed with a stupid comment ... the title of the Popes is "Servant of the servants of Christ "
Where did Jesus say faith alone without works will lead you to salvation. St Paul also teaches only what he got from the gospels and he did not say faith alone. Paul wrote it to jews which mean what they believe was they need circumcision and need to observe laws of Torah in order to be saved (GOOD WORKS which you called it MERITS) but no he taught baptism through Christ and keeping the faith saves them. Epistle of James quotes "Faith alone without works is dead".
Rangsil Momin "Faith alone without works is dead" True. Let's take this man's life for example. He has faith in Jesus, he's had that both whilst he was still a Catholic and businessman, and when he left the church; he, on both times had faith in Jesus.
However, when he was still catholic, whilst he had "faith", did he do good works for God's kingdom? According to him he had all the riches anyone could enjoy in the world. He never mentioned doing anything with the wealth he had to help others, or to share God's truth to others, or use what he's got for God's glory.
Now, when he finally truly came to know Jesus, and ACCEPTED Him into his life, truly repented of all his sins, only then did his life changed, and transformation happened. He GAVE UP his business pursuits to know more about Jesus, and to share the truth of the Gospel to others who do not know it. Now, that is GOOD WORKS with FAITH.
So, what's different? The difference is, when he accepted Jesus as His Lord and Saviour, Jesus sent his Holy Spirit (the Life that Jesus talks about in the bible, that will save people from death) into this man's life, and changed him to be more Christ like. That change that Christians talk about, is not a conscious decision people make to turn their life around. It is impossible to do that, without relapsing. This, my friend, is the work of the Holy Spirit in this man's life. The "good works" he does now, by leaving his business pursuits to follow Jesus, use their home to share the truth of the gospel, are the fruits of the Holy Spirit in his life. -----
"Faith alone without works is dead" EXACTLY. He had faith before as a Catholic yet did not do good works. He still has faith, even more faith actually, now that He has left the church and found Jesus, and hence came after BECAUSE of that encounter - his good works.
This is the evidence of what being truly saved looks like.
Good works comes as a result of Faith! True transformative Faith in Jesus Christ alone
@@joanhermoso8116 If you meant Good works done (not comes) motivated by your faith then you have ally in me. It is called living faith. Otherwise we'd be just preaching without practicing like phareesees.
But Why Christ alone?
Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is the word of God and He is the way to Our Father. The way is to do the will of the Father by immitating how Jesus showed to us. Notice that everytime people praised our Lord, He always deflects the attention towards the Father.
So the truth is We have to do the Will of the Father, the way Jesus taught us and follow Him faithfull in all situations (not lukewarm) and to accomplish it, the Father sends us Holy Spirit through Baptism (not born again of flesh like what nicodemus understood but born newly of Spirit) and the Son Jesus sends us the Helper (Holy Spirit).
Rangsil...……...…..you are so wrong......the four gospels pertained to the jews , you have twisted up things in your ignorance.....Paul was commissioned by the risen Lord Himself to be the apostle to the gentiles...…..Jesus revealed to him the gospel of grace thru which we are saved without any works , not even baptism...have you really read Paul's epistles ?.....you are also taking James verses out of context, which most Catholics seem to do.
where can you find SOLA SCRIPTURA AND SOLA FIDES IN THE BIBLE?
I too left Catholicism after 12 years in their educational system. I must tell you that when I was a little girl, I had such an amazing love for Jesus. He was God, part of the trinity, who died for my sins and was resurrected now sitting in heaven having become the final sacrifice for my salvation. I was able to separate the problems with catholic doctrine from the truth of scripture once I started reading the Bible until the differences could not justify staying. Initially I was angry, but that faith brought me Jesus and the Niceness Creed which is their core belief definitely agrees with the Bible. Be careful when you accuse Catholics of following a TOTALLY false gospel. They got into trouble because of the popes and tradition.
Catholic communion as I learned it was not sacrificing Jesus over and over again at all. It is their understanding that when Jesus said “This is my body and this is my blood,” that you should eat and drink of him, and “do this in memory of me,” was a literal translation to be followed.
I have a problem with the following issues, which is why I left: 1) purgatory which minimizes Christ’s sacrifice 2) papal infallibility that opposes biblical truth 3). Indulgences or pass cards to get out of purgatory 4) priests being able to call down the Creator to be in a “host” 5) confessions heard by priests when Christ is our only mediator. (Priesthood really should have ended the moment the temple veil was torn in two 6) infant baptism 7) devotion to Mary saying she was born without sin and was assumed into heaven making her almost an equal with the Godhead. (calling Mary the “mother of God” in the rosary for eg 8) praying to saints instead of Christ. 9) their claim that it’s the only true church 10). Church rules, sacraments, feast days that do not agree with scripture.
I think you are being too harsh, though, generalizing that Catholics are going to hell following a “false gospel”. If you ask most of them, Jesus is the center of everything and they disagree with lots of things about the tradition teachings of the church especially since bible studies are common now. I think it’s great that Francis is screwing up cause it is opening the eyes of Catholics who believe in infallibility.
That is very sad. You have put your eternity at risk. I listened to 3 minutes. He already contradicted the Bible several times. I won't waste any more time on someone who is so obviously ignorant of the Bible. If he really would read the Bible with an unbiased mind he would see it confirms the Catholic Church. "Faith without works is dead." That itself eliminate most if not all Protestant religions. St. Peter was the rock upon which Jesus built His Church and given the keys to heaven. If you believe Jesus do what He commands. He commanded works on many occasions. Works are a response to faith and grace. They are not a way to earn heaven. Works without faith, if that is possible, would also be dead.
Adrian Rehak You have completely missed the point of the “faith without works” Faith is all it takes to be with Jesus, as it says many many times throughout scripture. That simple phrase is true. Faith without works is a faith that is not alive. It definitely should be put into action, but do not undermine the rest of scripture by saying you have to do, do, do to be SAVED.
Adrian Rehak And one other thing. Jesus saves, not a church, so do not lay that lie on people that are looking for truth. I know better.
@@adrianrehak8585
"St. Peter was the rock upon which Jesus built His Church and given the keys to heaven."
This is false. This is what you have been taught to believe but not supported biblically. The rock that Jesus spoke of was Peter's confession of faith as to the identity of who Jesus was. The catholic church's interpretation of Matthew is nothing more than an overreach of men who wanted to place themselves between you and God so they could peddle salvation. Religions are what Satan uses to separate us from God.
@@rickdavis2235 "Thou art Cephas and upon Cephas I will build My Church." Aramaic only has one word for rock. That was the language of Jesus and the apostles. It can't be any simpler or more concrete than that. Jesus built His Church on Peter and his current successor is Pope Francis. Matthew 16:19 "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven,[a] and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Do you believe Jesus? John 20:23 "Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.”
Jesus promised to sent the Holy Spirit to be with His Church and guide it to the end of time. Simple and straight forward. Read the Church fathers who learned from the apostles such as John teaching Ignatius of Antioch teaching Polycarp and on. The early Church which began being called Catholic in about 100 AD taught the same gospel, worshiped with the same Mass, had the same sacraments as the Catholic Church has today.
1500 years after Christ, a gap of 1500 years, a bunch of people suddenly thought they knew more than the early Church fathers, who learned from the apostles, did and in heresy changed Church teachings. Had some in the Church gotten off the path and living sinful lives including selling indulgences? Yes. Did that change any doctrine from Jesus, the doctrines of the Catholic Church? No. but unfortunately some were not following them. Did Jesus have sinful apostles? Yes. Judas conspired to murder Jesus. Peter denied Jesus 3 times. The other apostles ran away in fear. Lots of sinners in that bunch. I would say all were just as we all are. That doesn't change anything that Jesus taught.
Read "Joy Unspeakable" by Martin Lloyd- Jones. He well explains what is wrong with all the churches today..beginning some time after the mid 1800s - though that is not the intent of the book's premise - the premise is to emphasize the importance of being Baptized in the Holy Spirit and what it is NOT as well...

+Nina Kus No all protestants are not fanatics! They believe what is said in the Bible. Anything added or taken away is forbidden. Jesus did found ONE church and that church was not Roman Catholic. The RC church comes out of the Judaizers who believed in Jesus but kept all their Levitical practices. Jesus is the only high priest we are to follow. Read Hebrews. Quite an eye opener. I came out of the RC church over 40 years ago and find that the more I spend time in the Bible, the more He reveals to me.

Scripture alone has brought about 30k different Christian denominations, all with their own interpretation of the Bible.
The Bible (scripture) hasn't brought about many denominations, people have! Huge difference. The translations are all coming from the original text, save for those translations that have warped the meaning of scripture for their own gain.
Why do these people have to tear down fellow Christians to "proclaim Christ"? Mike Gendron is NOT an expert on Catholicism. He gets many teachings totally wrong. Please assess Catholicism on its teachings, which can be found easily in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Each page of the Catechism is filled with the Bible, which by the way, was put together by the Church following many years of oral tradition. Some errors in this presentation: the Pope is not infallible in ALL he says -- it is a very rare occurrence when the Pope speaks infallibly and I don't believe Pope Francis has ever spoken infallibly. I do agree that his comments carry much weight and have been confusing at times. Also at each Mass, Catholics follow Jesus' command to "do this in memory of me." We believe in Christ as the "once and for all sacrifice" that exists eternally--we do not practice repeated sacrifices; we recall and celebrate Christ's eternal and complete sacrifice at every Mass. In fact, we cling to faith in Christ through that eternal sacrifice as the only way to be saved. The Mass re-presents this sacrifice and by the power of this one, eternal sacrifice, offers us the real body and blood of Christ, in accordance with Jesus' command and with the bread of life discourses in John 6.
Peter is not the foundation of the Church as I was taught in Catholic school. The foundation of the Church is Peter's answer to Jesus' question, "Who do you say I am". Peter's response, " You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God". That is this the foundation.
He is completly right on what the Catholic church teaches. Stop lying about your faith. Own up to your cult church. Dont be ashamed.

repentance is also a work on your behalf, your saved by grace not by works.
Yes, repentance is not a work of man, but a grace of God, as Romans 2:4 say, "Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?"
Vicki,
But an individual man has to decide if he is going to repent or not. Taking that action is doing a work. And when Jesus invitied us to follow him he told us to pick up our crosses. That involves many works and sacrifices.
Repentance in greek is "metanoia" meaning a change of mind. It doesn't seem to be a work. More a response by faith.
A great read on this subject is "The Great Controversy" wonderfully cool book with lots of history and Bible study.
Revelation 18:4-8; KJV
COME OUT OF HER, my people THAT YE BE NOT PARTAKERS OF HER SINS, THAT YE RECEIVE NOT OF HER PLAGUES. For her sins have reached unto heaven and God hath remembered her iniquities...
yes that was written about the Roman Empire before Constantine who were persecuting the Holy Catholic Church .... The same can be applied to the Hate preacher (not all) protestant churches today I found the truth in HIS Catholic Church... The first church-its growth, doctrine, and practices-were recorded for us in the New Testament. Jesus, as well as His apostles, foretold that false teachers would arise, and indeed it is apparent from some of the New Testament epistles that these apostles had to fight against false teachers early on. Having a pedigree of apostolic succession or being able to trace a church’s roots back to the "first church" is important to show true consistency for being the true church. What is given is repeated comparisons between what false teachers teach and what the first church taught, as recorded in Scripture. Whether a church is the "true church" or not is also determined by comparing its teachings and practices to that of the New Testament church, as recorded in Scripture.
For instance, in Acts 20:17-38, the Apostle Paul has an opportunity to talk to the church leaders in the large city of Ephesus one last time face to face. In that passage, he tells them that false teachers will not only come among them but will come FROM them (vv. 29-30). Paul commits them to the safekeeping of "God and to the word of His grace" (v. 32). Thus, truth could also be determined by depending upon God and "the word of His grace" (i.e., Scripture, see John 10:35). So we have the prediction that the protestant Churches would come from within .... the Catholic Church (at the reformation ) As the bible was not compiled until 390's at the Council of Rome and Synod of Hippo we also know it must not be scripture alone for out of Catholicism we got the compilation of the Bible !!!
love this video, thank you Jesus.
Revelation 13:8; KJV
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are NOT written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Thanks to this Pope! He quickened my leaving the RCC! PTL! Never thought Jesuits were holy!
i don’t know what to do at this point i’m so confused , i’m so confused i pray to know the truth , i always read my bible and i have a relationship with God alone and i was born a catholic and i’m 14 years old and i can’t comprehend all this stuff someone please help am i doing everything right ? i have repented of all my sins , i read the bible , i trust God i have faith in him and i listen to his word but i live with my parents and they are catholic and they go to church so i have to go with him , will i go to hell ? idk what to do 😭
In the Bible, Romans 10:9-10 tells us, "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."
But, like any free gift, it must be accepted. God promises that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Acts 2:21). To grab hold of God’s promise, pray right now: “Dear Jesus, forgive me of my sins. Be my Savior.” Jesus in turn will remove your guilt and make you a brand new person inside, and when you die, He promises you will live forever with Him (John 10:28-29). The relationship with God is restored. You are a new creation, and considered a child of God (John 1:12).
By belief in God's Son Jesus you no longer stand condemned in God's eyes for your sin, as Romans 8:1-2 tells us, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death."
Once saved, you are a whole new creation, as 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"

Can you watch this with your parents and ask them? I’m only 11 minutes in but the quote he used from the Pope is out of context. I am a former Protestant in the process of becoming a Catholic. There is no way he was a Catholic snd never read the Bible, Catholics read more of the Bible in one church service than Protestants do in a month.
No one is born Catholic...you weren't born believing this stuff, your family taught it to you. Jesus says in John 3:3, 'You must be born again.'
@@happydaymakers3269 That is an anecdotal claim that you made (Catholics read more of the Bible in one church service than Protestants do in a month (I'm assuming you also mean in church service...if so, you certainly haven't been to every Christian church to even make this claim!)). Also, someone could read through the whole Bible (or read more of it in a church service than another church) and it won't make a world of difference if they aren't putting their faith in Jesus and putting the Word into practice. James 1:22-25
You reference the Bible as though it's of importance but say you are becoming a Catholic, which has extra doctrines. Do you not believe the Bible is the infallible word of God (which makes zero reference to Mary worship/prayer, praying to saints, doing rosary, purgatory, confessing to priests, etc.?)?
@happydaymaker
Mr Gendron said he WAS Catholic.
IF that was a lie, someone would have exposed him long before now. There’s no good reason for you to accuse him.
Catholics read/study The Bible more than all others ?
I live in an area with lots & Lots of X-Catholics. In conversations with them, NONE said anything about
Bible reading/studying EXCEPT
that once they did so, they left
Catholicism.
YES! YOU SIR, in your Home, ARE THE EXACT 1ST CENTURY MODEL!
Edification, horizontal relationships!

Well as long as Mike doesn't claim that Calvinism is the Gospel, we are dong well. There are many of his persuasion that claim Calvinism is the Gospel, which is not the same as the Good News Jesus and the Apostles taught.
This guy is wrong . the scriptures saying Faith without works is dead and building bridges is good. you can keep your religion and still be nice.
thank you very much for this video
I don't like the papacy and pray for catholics. they claim Peter was the FIRST pope, right? One, Peter was the main teacher to the Jews and the RCC are gentiles so why do they say Peter was a "pope?" Second, aren't popes "supposed" to be celibate? Unmarried? According to God's Word, Peter was married. Oh, and another issue I have is they are LOVED by the world,even non-catholics but Jesus said we would be HATED and PERSECUTED by the world because they first hated Him. THAT should stand out to Christians right off the bat that the RCC is a "false and worldly" church system. God bless and keep spreading the truth.
1 The rules change in Catholicism so priests had to be celibate (see Pauls words in favour of this in the bible ) 2 Catholicism is lied about Hated and despised by the World see this video .... I found the truth in HIS Catholic Church... The first church-its growth, doctrine, and practices-were recorded for us in the New Testament. Jesus, as well as His apostles, foretold that false teachers would arise, and indeed it is apparent from some of the New Testament epistles that these apostles had to fight against false teachers early on.
