65 years of being a Catholic. Baptized, received most of the sacraments. Went to Catholic schools thru high school. We rarely opened a Bible. I had no idea of scripture. Was always going to confession for fear the Priest wouldn't absolve my sins. Knew I was going to hell for committing mortal sins.Not going to Mass every Sunday. BORN AGAIN through the love of our lord Jesus Christ, November 4, 2020. I no longer honor the Pope. I honor Our Lord Jesus Christ.
A true witness delivereth souls but a deceitful witness speaketh lies . Proverbs 14 25 . grace and truth came by Jesus Christ . John 1 17 . I am crucified with Christ . Galatians 2 20 . Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death ? Romans 6 3 . Jesus said I and my Father are one . John 10 30 . If I wash thee not thou hast no part with me . John 13 8 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father and ye in me and I in you . John 14 20 . Jesus said John indeed baptized with water but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost . Acts 11 16 on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost . Acts 10 45 washed us from our sins in his own blood . Revelation 1 5 . For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord . Romans 6 23 . For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God . Ephesians 2 8
Not the churches fault you chose to miss mass and not read the Bible or listen to the readings from the bible every Sunday
@@monicaorona6607 I'm not a Catholic. I'm a child of Jesus Christ.
Then why did you leave his church?
@@monicaorona6607 God's Church is in Heaven. Not man made here on earth.
I dated a Catholic and told him i didnt believe in sex before marriage. He said, "thats what confession is for". I RAN as fast as i could and never looked back!
it's not what confession is for, he just didnt know his faith. Catholicism is against sex before marriage
I'm afraid, but I do have two assumptions about your comment.
First, you're just making fun of the confession in the Catholic church and therefore telling a false testimony which is a really horrible sin.
And second, the supposed guy you were dating with, didn't know any tad about his own faith. How sad is this frail generation.
One supposed Catholic means the whole church is bad.....the logic you're using is so incredibly flawed. Sinful people are everywhere..
Yeah, i know a protestant who got baptized and in the same year he is really addicted to porn drugs and alcohol, and tends to say that everyone on earth is a sinner (which is true), but it seems that he uses this as a reason to keep sinning without repentance. Even though i know his church doesn't have these kind of teachings and that there are a lot of good protestants who really pratice what they preach. This argument of her is immature.@@ASMRyouVEGANyet

“It is impossible for the most true God, who is Truth Itself, the best, the wisest Provider, and the Rewarder of good men, to approve all sects who profess false teachings which are often inconsistent with one another and contradictory, and to confer eternal rewards on their members. For we have a surer word of the prophet, and in writing to you We speak wisdom among the perfect; not the wisdom of this world but the wisdom of God in a mystery. By it we are taught, and by divine faith we hold one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and that no other name under heaven is given to men except the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth in which we must be saved. This is why we profess that there is no salvation outside the [Catholic] Church.” *Ubi Primum* Pope Leo XII

I would rather be a citizen of heaven than be saved. Salvation is when i am in the very presence of God and for him to say well done my faithful servant.
RC Sproul believed in a future fulfillment of the Seventieth Week of Daniel. In fact, Jesus fulfilled perfectly and completely Daniel's Seventieth Week two thousand years ago. Sproul preached Counter-Reformation eschatology to his everlasting shame. Sproul was one of the greatest deceivers in our generation. And his false teachings are being repeated in all the churches today. There isn't a single one that preaches the truth about Daniel's Seventieth Week. Despite all his pretended condemnation of Roman Catholicism, he preached Rome's most secret weapon, the futurist fulfillment of Daniel's Seventieth Week. That teaching alone utterly destroyed Protestantism. There is no more Protestant church in the world today because of the likes of RC Sproul and his vast body of Evanjellybelly ilks. You do God a disservice by lauding RC Sproul or any of his Futurist Fakes!
I waa raised as Jehovah's Witness, baptized at 13, and left at 17. I knew inside they were wrong about being the only ones saved through that religion. Forty years later I bought my KJV, and finally read the truth!! Dr C Stanley, helped me see the light, and I am so very grateful my Saviour and Shepherd,
Christ Jesus, found me,
a lost sheep. Now, I get into the Word everyday. 💖
Gods name is absent deliberately erased in your KJV of the bible and this somehow is better for you? You should put that in prayer
Go buy a 1611 KJV. It has the books the Catholic church removed. It's called the apocrypha. It's the only true Holy Bible. The book all others are to be judged by.
The others are all edited for copyright reasons. They are fakes.
Only the 1611 is the book God promised to preserve in our language. It was translated from Aramaic and Greek. It was translated by over 40 Jews, Greeks, Latins and protestants who agreed upon every word.
That in itself is an act of God.

You are almost there to the fullness of the faith the Catholic Church . Peter was handed down the Shepard of his apostles, as Jesus said feed my sheep twice and my lambs , if they are called sheep and lambs what is Peter who has been handed the Authority.
I was born into roman catholic faith, family, school and community in Ireland. Never knew the Truth, the Lord Jesus Christ until seeking Him after a dear friend met Jesus Christ on her deathbed in a hospice.
I seeked Him and He came to me one night in Feb 2019. Felt the fear of Him (was not afraid) , His presence overwhelmed me and i was saved of unbelief . I have since come to know the peace, love and joy of Him.
He truly is Wonderful, Counselor, Prince of Peace, Everlasting Father per His Word and i am in love with Him. Amen.
Love you, all my brothers and sisters born of God.
2:26 Hallelujah ❗praise The Lord. I am very blessed by your testimony. Stay strong in Jesus.
I believe you bro
@@davidsheldon803 Jesus loves you
I recommend you to do not be deceived by feelings, we have to learn how to separate feelings and faith.
I can feel the same by listening to some sort of romantic music, but this doesn't mean that i have to worship a mere song.
I know you'll not care because nobody asked, but when i see someone talking about my faith, i have to at least recommend some sources:
"Rome Sweet Rome" is a book wroten by a former protestant pastor (Scott Hahn) who became Catholic, not because of feelings, but because of pure understanding of the bible.
Not here to harass your faith, but to just recommend you to study about the Catholic faith from Catholic sources instead of protestant ones, as when studying about protestantism, study from protestants sources instead of Catholic ones, doing that i believe you can get a mature point of view about both Christian denominations.
@@AdeiltonChristian Friend, one has faith and intimacy with Christ or not. There are two types of people in this world. Those born again and those not.
All religion, all religious spirit is the spirit of death. It is contrary to the LORD and He Himself has said so.
John 3:3
Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born [a]again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
There are no priests, archbishops, cardinals or popes in Holy Bible. None. They are all by the selection of men.
The true ministers(apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers) of the Lord Jesus have been continually rejected and gotten rid of, century after century by the institutional 'churches' (catholic,orthodox,protestant) ..The religious and political have always gotten rid of and even slaughtered the children/servants of the LORD. Consider the prophets in Old Covenant, consider the apostles and disciples of Jesus Christ. Even Jesus Christ Himself, the Righteous One.
Ephesians 4:7-13
Spiritual Gifts
7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. 8 Therefore He says:
“When He ascended on high,
He led captivity captive,
And gave gifts to men.”
9 (Now this, “He ascended”-what does it mean but that He also [a]first descended into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)
11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the [b]edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
The time of these worldly institutional religious 'churches' is up. Catholic,orthodox,protestant et. al
There has always been a remnant that follow the Voice of the LORD , follow the Holy Spirit. These remnant will grow greatly in number from this point of time on and do the greater things that Jesus said His people will do. " Heal the sick, raise the dead" Normal Christianity
The true Church is the spiritual Body of the Lord Jesus who know Him personally and intimately.
Ephesians 2:19-22
19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
Yes if you believe everything about Christ, you will proclaim Him. You will witness of His goodness in your life

We need to go back to the days when religion was a private matter. I hate it when people push theirs. I grew up Catholic, raised 3 sons in the church. I'm less Catholic today, in fact, I am not Catholic at all. I practice Catholicism. I am guided by it but, do not swallow it's indoctrination hook, line and sinker.

Yes is will and the truth is Atman=Brahman, hopefully everyone will realize this underlying truth ,,,
This is a lie though.
"There is no salvation apart from Christ and his One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church."
Saint Augustine (died A.D. 430):
"No man can find salvation except in the Catholic Church. Outside the Catholic Church one can have everything except salvation. One can have honor, one can have the sacraments, one can sing alleluia, one can answer amen, one can have faith in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, and preach it too, but never can one find salvation except in the Catholic Church." (Sermo ad Caesariensis Ecclesia plebem)
Saint Cyprian (died A.D. 258): "He who has turned his back on the Church of Christ shall not come to the rewards of Christ; he is an alien, a worldling, an enemy. You cannot have God for your Father if you have not the Church for your mother. Our Lord warns us when He says: `he that is not with Me is against Me, and he that gathereth not with Me scattereth.' Whosoever breaks the peace and harmony of Christ acts against Christ; whoever gathers elsewhere than in the Church scatters the Church of Christ." (Unity of the Catholic Church)
"He who does not hold this unity, does not hold the law of God, does not hold the faith of the Father and the Son, does not hold life and salvation." (Patrologiae Cursus Completus: Latina, Father Migne)
Lactantius (died A.D. 310): "It is the Catholic Church alone which retains true worship. This is the fountain of truth, this is the abode of the Faith, this is the temple of God; into which if anyone shall not enter, or from which if anyone shall go out, he is a stranger to the hope of life and eternal salvation." (The Divine Institutes)

@@TriciaPerry-mz7tc Praying for you
I am a 68yo woman and ex Catholic. I went to a Catholic school and was taught by nuns. I left the church and that school at age 13. I refused to go back which was a big thing in my day. I was given my first Bible at age 28yo. Immediately on reading about worshipping false idols, confession to God alone and many other beliefs we had pushed down our throats, the veil was lifted from my eyes. we were never allowed Bibles only catichisms and religion was one of our subjects in school. Over the years I have studied God's word and began a whole new experience with Him. thankyou, thankyou Lord for saving me. 🙏🙏🙏
Where were you during Mass? EVERY mass minimally has a reading from the Old Testament, the Psalms and the Gospels (New Testament on Sunday's). Your comments point to your inattentiveness rather than the lack of Scripture. ALSO, have you not noticed how the Catechism is suffused with Scripture???
I enjoy my Bible study and have done over 40 years. I have never understood why there are 7 extra books in the Catholic Bible. there are 64 other books in the Bible not just Psalms and Proverbs. going to a mass is very different to actually study God's word and having a personal relationship with Him. I have loved Jesus from the age of 5 but studying his Word has given me wisdom and knowledge that what I was taught was very different in many places to what I was taught. I don't need a priest to hear my confession, I don't need a priest to forgive my sin, I don't need a priest to intercept with God on my behalf. I shouldn't pray to statues because they are false idols. and on and on and on. Jesus is in my heart and life. the Catholics still have Him nailed to the cross. look at your rosary beads and most Catholic crosses. He is no longer on the cross. when you seek the truth then you will find the answers. God Bless you. 🙏🙏🙏@@maureenmickalonis3590
@@maureenmickalonis3590 Right you keep drinking the Kool-Aid!
Praise God that is wonderful , you were always one of His chosen people , those whom God the Father had given to HIs Son Jesus Christ Before the World was made , plus when Christ died upon the cross He has already paid in full the penalty for ALL of the sins of those whom the Father has given to Him , and you were only brought into the Knowledge of that salvation at your appointed time . Cheers and God Bless !.
Ma’am, confess to God alone? What about John 20:21-23: Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” He said this to his PRIESTS. Read the early church fathers. They are abundantly catholic! The Catholic Church has stood the test of time. Meanwhile, over 45,000 Christian denominations have popped up since the Reformation. This man is spitting either lies or he’s simply ignorant of the truth of Vatican 2. Anyone who listens to this man completely is putting their faith in him, when all you have to do is do a google search to research the truth yourself.
How can you reconcile this? The priest is acting in the person of Jesus Christ when HE absolves you of your sin.
All my family are Catholics. My parents were catholic’s, I can’t share everything with you, I’m in the process of writing my story. Nor do I want to speak bad things about my mother.however, we were put into a catholic convent known as “The Sacred Heart “ we were the “forgotten ones” suffered the abuse, emotionally, sexually and physically at the hands of nuns and lay people. I ended up in a coma? The only thing I ever took away from there was “FEAR” for most of my senior years, I got little sleep most of my life. But Jesus rescued me at the age of 54. I’m very thankful I have no memory of those nine years; i learned or couldn’t remember what I may have been thought? So, I came to Jesus Christ, by the leading of The Holy Spirit. Thank You so much for this teaching. When I received the Good News, that Jesus Loved Me ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️This was the first time I heard about the word LOVE. I was on fire for Jesus🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥with the help of The Holy Spirit who continues to be my teacher and opens up the scriptures to me -its absolutely wonderful to have such confidence He will bring all scriptures to my remembrance; si I would memorized many scriptures over the years, now at the age of 77, Im still enjoying the treasure He will continue to share with me. I buried my nose in God’s Word for hours daily, I need to know the truth. I AM Free🙏🙏🙏Thank You Jesus, for praying to the Father, for sending The Holy Spirit to come to dwell in me. The Holy Spirit became my best friend in this world. I’ve seen miracles, healings often. I love Jesus so much, He rescued me, I instantly experienced His wonderful peace, He filled that emptiness in my heart that was lacking, no matter how much I spend, vacation etc; yes I felt peace during those moments, but back to reality and that peace was temporary. But as I stay in my relationship with Jesus and The Holy Spirit, I can stay in His perfect peace.
I’m so thankful for your teaching, such perfect timing to reach not only my family, but other wonderful ladies Who are so kind. I need the Holy Spirit to lead me here!
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you and all your family Brother🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
Amen. I'm too so in love with Jesus. Hes the air the I breathe.
Galatians 4:6 tells you who the Holy Spirit is. There is no third entity. Just the Father and the Son. Don’t believe me though. Study it out and pray on it. Have a blessed Sabbath. Sabbath is one of the marks/signs/seals of God’s authority over us. It shows who we serve and belong to. The Bible tells us in several places how to get this mark/sign/seal. ☺️

Well I do agree that growth and development in one’s faith is a necessary part of of the Christian commitment. However, you cannot be baptised twice. At your baptism ( as you know) you were born again in Christ. You went into the waters of death and rose with Jesus.
I was raiswd Catholic and was made to feel shame about being Catholic. This led me down spirals of new age. I was pulled back to faith by God. I studied protestant denominations amd as i lept studying amd resisting Catholicism, i was ultimately led back to it. It is full, it is beautiful and it is the one true Church. Good luck to you all

Thy way, O God, is in thy sanctuary, who is so great a God as our God?
{Psalm77:13}
...as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith God, that thou make all things according to *the pattern* shewed to thee in the mount.
{Hebrews 8:5}
The *sanctuary* [tabernacle] was a pattern of types and shadows of the heavenly temple, and Jesus Christ is the substance of those types and shadows.
Jesus Christ is the door to the sanctuary; He is the door to the Kingdom of heaven.
He is the inner court surrounded by white linen; which is symbolic of being covered Christ prefect righteousness.
He is our passover sacrificed for us on burnt alter for sacrifice.
He is the laver for washing; symbolic of the rebirth, being born again of the Spirit.
He is the table of Showbread; the two stacks of loves of bread are symbolic of the word of God (the bread of life) in two testaments / witnesses, also the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve Apostles.
He is the Lampstand; the oil being symbolic of his Spirit; the Lampstand symbolic of his light unto the world.
He is our Altar of incense; making intercession for his saints.
He is our Mercy seat covering the Ark of the covenant; Jesus is both our advocate standing for his saints with the Father and He is our judge in judment.
Jesus Christ caused the sacrifices and their oblations to cease, (Dan 9:27) by his one perfect sacrifice.
In contrast to the time of the Gentiles, wherefore the sanctuary of God is trodden under foot for forty and two months.
How so?
This church who calls herself the mother church, claims to be *the door* to salvation.
And the white linen surrounding the inner court is the righteousness of Mary and the saints of the Roman church.
She claims that Christ sacrifice and Atonement for sin was not sufficient, for she instituted seven (works) sacraments.
She through infant baptism makes a mockery of the rebirth of the new man.
Her Catechism thinks to replace the inspired word of God.
Her prayers to dead saints and to Mary, thinks to replace Christ work of intercession at the altar of incense.
Hers is a false spirit which thinks to cover the light of truth.
This beast and her king think to change times and laws of God.
And goeth into perdition.

This is excellent. I have known First Chrisrian churches who teach that you receive the Spirit only after water baptism...and Baptist churches who say you can only be a member of their church if you were baptized in a Baptist church. If you were once baptized in another denomination, you can't join. Are these not false teachings? We should examine every teaching in light of Scripture! There is a lot of deception in the Church.

I would say that the person who told you that needs to hear this video. I am Southern Baptist so you’ll know but that person who told you that needs to check on their own salvation. As for you believe in Christ with all your heart and soul believing that Christ went to the grave to pay for our sins. He will take care of your sins as soon as you put your trust in him. Read scripture and don’t go by other peoples beliefs. They can drag you straight into hell where they will go if they haven’t changed by now. It’s Gods way by reading or hearing his words. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son to die for your sins that whosoever believes in him will be saved. John 3:16. I pray for you to hear and believe.
they are not the church, they are a denomination, created by man. Acts 2:38 " Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins and you will receive the gift of the HS"... and we know that water baptism is in the name of Jesus, Acts 10:47-48. So, when do you receive the GIFT of the HS? according to Acts 2:38?

Actually many of them are pre fab metal buildings that can be used for business. The put up sheet rock.use folding chairs and put up a fiber glass steeple. 100.of them here in the old South.
Mega churches have a band , their "Minister" is a worship leader, and the service is a concert with a motivational speech, and pass the hat.
This actually happened in Bournemouth UK one of my best friends became a Christian he was a Catholic and his family were devout Catholics, Michael went into his draw and he picked up his cross necklace ,something had miraculously happened Jesus was no longer hanging on his cross necklace just an empty cross he was shocked as you can imagine but soon came to realise Jesus is no longer fastened to a cross but now livs amongst us .
Amazing sign, thanks for sharing. The tomb, and the cross are empty for He is risen indeed.
Seeing Jesus dying on the cross is a very clear sign of Jesus' love for us. He loved us so much he was willing to DIE for us. It makes me think to myself "Do I love God and my fellow man enough to die for them?"
Paul wrote, "For Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles." (1 Cor 1: 22-23). Why don't other churches preach the way that Paul did?
For Christians a crucifix should not be considered merely as a statue of Jesus hanging on a cross, but as a reminder of the high cost of our salvation as well as His words to us:
"If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me."
An Empty cross has no Power💖💖
@@biblealone9201 The Resurrection demonstrates the power, death no longer perpetual, for He defeated it, no longer to hang there in reality or symbology.
I love all crosses. The crucifix w/ Jesus on the cross is a graphic example of Jesus sacrifice for us. The empty cross shows how Jesus resurrected and is our risen Lord. They are both biblical and both good reminders.
@@saintejeannedarc9460 the empty cross signifies nothing the empty tomb shows how Jesus resurrected and is our risen Lord.😍😍
No irony in the fact that the Roman Catholic Church gave us the canon of Scripture.

The Greeks had the first bible
@@Woodstock53 the cannon of scripture wasn’t put together until the late 4th century by the Catholic Church
Me too! Raised as a fundamental Christian. Really studying early church history and the TRUTH of the Catholic Church led me to my conversion. This anti Catholic “sermon” is built on false heretical doctrine! Scripture alone is never mentioned in the Bible. Also, what Church determined what scrolls where to be canonized? The Catholic Church. Who determines how to interpret Scripture Alone? Over 30,000 plus protestant denominations. Each one interpreting a little bit differently their own doctrine.
What is more heretical is following a gay loving pope who claims to represent Christ and thereby rejects the real Christ.
Welcome Home and may God richly bless you through the rich treasury of the Catholic Church.
Thank you for this message. It clarifies the difference between the two belief systems. I will follow the Bible for my salvation. God bless your ministry always in speaking the Truth which is Jesus Christ.📖✝️
You must study how did those who were more closer to Jesus before the resurrection did worship him, in order to do not do the opposite as the scriptures says:
2 Peter 1:20
"knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation."
I recommend you to read "Rome Sweet Home" by Scott Hanh, whose was a protestant pastor that converted to Catholicism.
I'm just suggesting this if you're a person who likes to study about the history of Christianity, may God give you wisdom and discernment.

❤Stay with reading the words Jesus spoken unto his disciples while he was yet present with them...
_John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, _*_If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him._*
_John 14:24 _*_He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings:_*_ and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me._
_John 14:25 _*_These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you._*
_John 14:26 _*_But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost,_*_ whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, _*_and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you._*
The things Jesus spoken being yet present with his disciples, are brought to remembrance by the Holy Spirit.
The words Jesus spoke unto his disciples “being yet present” with them are recorded within the Gospels; *Matthew, Mark, John* are eye witnesses of the Messsiah. And even Luke has very good record of Jesus' teachings even though Luke was not an eye witness.'
Remember to always bring Jesus' words to remembrance.
May i ask what is that book about? If it is about something that criticize the Catholic Church, i would love to read when i reach a good level of understanding about religion.

Am Eastern Orthodox but what a sad day to see Protestants and Catholics constantly arguing.
If the Catholic Church is accused of being satanic, that is no more than its Founder, Jesus Christ, was accused of. When our Lord was on earth, he had the same problem. He was driving demons out, and some said he was doing this by the power of the devil. How did Jesus respond? He said, “How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand; that is the end of him” (Mk 3:23-26).
The Catholic Church drives out the devil, too. This practice is called exorcism. No one can deny that the Catholic Church has been doing exorcisms on people and driving out Satan for nearly two millennia. Therefore, we must reason like Jesus: If the Catholic Church were from the devil, it could not drive the devil out.
We shouldn’t be surprised when such charges are made against the Catholic Church. Jesus told us, “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master; it is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household” (Mt 10:24-25).
It is impious to say, I respect every religion. This is as much as to say,I respect the devil as much as God,vice as much as virtue, falsehood as much as truth, dishonesty as much as honesty.Hell as much as Heaven. Fr Michael Muller.C.Ss.R(1825-1899)
There can be only one true religion, because a thing cannot be false and true at the same time, and, therefore,all religions that contradict the teaching of the true Church must teach falsehood.If all religious in which men seek God are equally good and true,why did Christ disturb the Jewish religion and the Apostles condemn heretics?

Weak Catholics become protestants
Strong Protestants become Catholics,
Orthodox/Catholic Lord's Supper have recieved the flesh and blood of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ at Holy Mass for 2,000yrs but protestants have not for 500yrs. Please read some teachings of early Church fathers on the Eucharist
ST. IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH
“the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, the flesh which suffered for our sins and which the Father, in His graciousness, raised from the dead." ("Letter to the Smyrnaeans", paragraph 6. circa 80-110 A.D.)
"I have no taste for the food that perishes nor for the pleasures of this life. I want the Bread of God which is the Flesh of Christ, who was the seed of David; and for drink I desire His Blood which is love that cannot be destroyed." ("Letter to the Romans", paragraph 7, circa 80-110 A.D.)
"Take care, then who belong to God and to Jesus Christ - they are with the bishop. And those who repent and come to the unity of the Church - they too shall be of God, and will be living according to Jesus Christ. Do not err, my brethren: if anyone follow a schismatic, he will not inherit the Kingdom of God. If any man walk about with strange doctrine, he cannot lie down with the passion. Take care, then, to use one Eucharist, so that whatever you do, you do according to God: for there is one Flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ, and one cup in the union of His Blood; one altar, as there is one bishop with the presbytery and my fellow servants, the deacons." (Epistle to the Philadelphians, 3:2-4:1, 110 A.D.)
ST. JUSTIN MARTYR
"This food we call the Eucharist, of which no one is allowed to partake except one who believes that the things we teach are true, and has received the washing for forgiveness of sins and for rebirth, and who lives as Christ handed down to us. For we do not receive these things as common bread or common drink; but as Jesus Christ our Savior being incarnate by God's Word took flesh and blood for our salvation, so also we have been taught that the food consecrated by the Word of prayer which comes from him, from which our flesh and blood are nourished by transformation, is the flesh and blood of that incarnate Jesus." ("First Apology", Ch. 66, inter A.D. 148-155)
ST. CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA
"The Word is everything to a child: both Father and Mother, both Instructor and Nurse. 'Eat My Flesh,' He says, 'and drink My Blood.' The Lord supplies us with these intimate nutrients. He delivers over His Flesh, and pours out His Blood; and nothing is lacking for the growth of His children. O incredible mystery!" ("The Instructor of the Children" [1,6,41,3] ante 202 A.D)
ST. CYRIL OF JERUSALEM
Since then He Himself has declared and said of the Bread, (This is My Body), who shall dare to doubt any longer? And since He has affirmed and said, (This is My Blood), who shall ever hesitate, saying, that it is not His blood?” ("Catechetical Lectures [22 (Mystagogic 4), 1] c. 350 A.D)
ST. HILARY OF POITERS
"When we speak of the reality of Christ's nature being in us, we would be speaking foolishly and impiously - had we not learned it from Him. For He Himself says: 'My Flesh is truly Food, and My Blood is truly Drink. He that eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood will remain in Me and I in him.' As to the reality of His Flesh and Blood, there is no room left for doubt, because now, both by the declaration of the Lord Himself and by our own faith, it is truly the Flesh and it is truly Blood. And These Elements bring it about, when taken and consumed, that we are in Christ and Christ is in us. Is this not true? Let those who deny that Jesus Christ is true God be free to find these things untrue. But He Himself is in us through the flesh and we are in Him, while that which we are with Him is in God." ("The Trinity" [8,14] inter 356-359 A.D.)
ST. GREGORY OF NYSSA
"The bread is at first common bread; but when the mystery sanctifies it, it is called and actually becomes the Body of Christ."("Orations and Sermons" [Jaeger Vol 9, pp. 225-226] ca. 383 A.D.)
ST. AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO
"You ought to know what you have received, what you are going to receive, and what you ought to receive daily. That Bread which you see on the altar, having been sanctified by the word of God, is the Body of Christ. The chalice, or rather, what is in that chalice, having been sanctified by the word of God, is the Blood of Christ." ("Sermons", [227, 21] circa 400A.D.)
MARCARIUS THE MAGNESIAN
"[Christ] took the bread and the cup, each in a similar fashion, and said: 'This is My Body and this is My Blood.' Not a figure of His body nor a figure of His blood, as some persons of petrified mind are wont to rhapsodize, but in truth the Body and the Blood of Christ, seeing that His body is from the earth, and the bread and wine are likewise from the earth." ("Apocriticus" [3,23] ca. 400 A.D.)
ST. LEO I, THE GREAT
"When the Lord says: 'Unless you shall have eaten the flesh of the Son of Man and shall have drunk His blood, you shall not have life in you,' you ought to so communicate at the Sacred Table that you have no doubt whatever of the truth of the Body and the Blood of Christ. ("Sermons" [91,3] ante 461 A.D.)

Oh and also when Jesus said it is finished, the veil of the temple was ripped from top to bottom showing that we could go directly to our Lord Jesus Christ who is God the father in human form, we don't need to see a priest to know his will on Our Lives!
Amen!! When the veil was torn from top to bottom by our Lord Jesus sacrifice, that removed the separation from our Father God. And all sacrifices that were needed before were removed. Just was the ultimate and final and sufficient sacrifice. Than you Savior. Thank you. I love you Lord.
Also it means people don't need to pray to Mary for intercession, what an outrageous thing that is promoted by the catholic church. Blasphemous!

“It is impossible for the most true God, who is Truth Itself, the best, the wisest Provider, and the Rewarder of good men, to approve all sects who profess false teachings which are often inconsistent with one another and contradictory, and to confer eternal rewards on their members. For we have a surer word of the prophet, and in writing to you We speak wisdom among the perfect; not the wisdom of this world but the wisdom of God in a mystery. By it we are taught, and by divine faith we hold one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and that no other name under heaven is given to men except the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth in which we must be saved. This is why we profess that there is no salvation outside the [Catholic] Church.” *Ubi Primum* Pope Leo XII
James 2:14-17, 26: "What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,' but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead...For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
For by Grace you are saved , through faith , and this is not of yourselves but is a gift of God and not of works , lest any man should boast !.
Correct, without the Sacrifice we would all go to Hell because we are wretched and wholly undeserving, but as we know, Hell is still a real possibility for us. We must continue to actively accept God's grace lest we perish. Besides, how does one refute James 2 ? @@happyforever1528
----"James 2:20- "But wilt thou know O' vain man, that faith without works is dead"-----
Right, but if "faith without works" is dead, that means A FAITH WITHOUT WORKS, EXISTS!
2 things to remember:
•James is the oldest book in the NT, written before Paul ever put ink to paper
• It was written to the 12 tribes of Israel scattered abroad.
James 2:1- " My brethren have not, faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory, WITH RESPECT OF PERSONS.
--"What does it PROFIT, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?
'If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,' but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it PROFIT? '--
Does lack of works mean that you lose your salvation? NO. It just means that your faith will not PROFIT anyone else. It's all talk unless you have the works to back it up. Not talking about getting into heaven, it's talking about my relationship with my fellow man. We are to prove ourselves saved in the sight of man, NOT GOD!
Galatians 3 :11- But that no man is justified BY THE LAW in the SIGHT OF GOD, it is evident: for, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.
Man can only see my works not my FAITH. So, in the SIGHT OF MAN we're justified by WORKS. (James 2:18)
Abraham did the offering of Isaac at 130 years old. Did he just get saved at 130? NO, he showed his FAITH to the world BY HIS WORKS.

God bless you and your wife, I grew up going to catholic schools and I was biblically illiterate. I was an atheist until I was 52 and heard the truth for the first time. I didn’t realise that our Lord was our God and our saviour ! Now have I certainty, peace and I am blessed with faith.
So what was your family's excuse and yours for not reading Scripture
The Church forcefully and specifically exhorts all the Christian faithful . . . to learn the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ, by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures. Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ. Catechism Of the Catholic Church
Pope St. Gregory I (died 604 AD) “The Emperor of heaven, the Lord of men and of angels, has sent you His epistles for your life’s advantage-and yet you neglect to read them eagerly. Study them, I beg you, and meditate daily on the words of your Creator. Learn the heart of God in the words of God, that you may sigh more eagerly for things eternal, that your soul may be kindled with greater longings for heavenly joys.”
Pope Clement XI (1700 - 1720) To forbid Christians to read Sacred Scripture, especially the Gospels, is to forbid the use of light to the sons of light, and to cause them to suffer a kind of excommunication.
Pope Pius VI (April 1st 1778 AD) “the faithful should be excited to the reading of the Holy Scriptures: for these are the most abundant sources which ought to be left open to every one, to draw from them purity of morals and of doctrine”
Pope Pius VII (1800 - 1823) "encourage their people to read the Holy Scriptures ; for nothing can be more useful, more consoling, and more animating, because they serve to confirm the faith, to support the hope, and to influence the charity of the true Christian."
Pope Leo XIII (1893) “The solicitude of the apostolic office naturally urges and even compels us…to desire that this grand source of Catholic revelation (the Bible) should be made safely and abundantly accessible to the flock of Jesus Christ”
Pope Pius X (1903 - 1914) “Nothing would please us more than to see our beloved children form the habit of reading the Gospels - not merely from time to time, but every day.”
Pope Benedict XV (1914 - 1922) “Our one desire for all the Church’s children is that, being saturated with the Bible, they may arrive at the all-surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ”
Pope Pius XII (1943) “... This author of salvation, Christ, will men more fully know, more ardently love and more faithfully imitate in proportion as they are more assiduously urged to know and meditate the Sacred Letters, especially the New Testament ...”
Pope John Paul II (1979) “catechesis must be impregnated and penetrated by the thought, the spirit and the outlook of the Bible and the Gospels through assiduous contact with the texts themselves”
Pope Benedict XVI (2006) “I urge you to become familiar with the Bible, and to have it at hand so that it can be your compass pointing out the road to follow. By reading it, you will learn to know Christ.”
Pope Francis (2015) “The Bible is not meant to be placed on a shelf, but to be in your hands, to read often - every day, both on your own and together with others”
Gee, good thing you don’t like condescending emails, right? Anyway, I am not rebuking God’s Word, I am rebuking man’s word and, in particular, I am rebuking your word. Your fallible, man-made, non-authoritative, biased and bigoted word.
You speak of the “laughable infallible teachings of the [M]agisterium,” yet you tend to also speak as if you yourself are infallible. Do you believe your private interpretations of Scripture to indeed be infallible? And, if not, will you then admit that your private, fallible interpretations of Scripture, in regard to Purgatory and other such Catholic teachings, could be wrong? You won’t admit that, though, will you? You know why? Pride, Freddy boy...pride. You are too proud to admit that you could be wrong. That your interpretations are indeed fallible and, therefore, prone to error.
He is one of these former Catholics who knows "everything" there is to know about the Catholic Church and its teachings and who feels a special call to save Catholics from the darkness of Romanism that he was, at long last, able to escape from.
I take it that during this time as a Christian you have not sinned even 1 time correct? Naturally due to rising to such a high spiritual level of perfection, your thoughts are totally pure and the passions cease to exist due to your total sanctification and totally pure heart. I must hand it to you, it’s one thing for a Monk to leave the world and live in constant unceasing prayer on the Holy Mountain of Mt. Anthos, but to live in the world like you do and still be able to reach such a high spiritual state of perfection that the Great Saints could never achieve deserves of crown of diamonds
@@biblealone9201 was this reply written to my comment?
@@biblealone9201 Wow---you sure spewed some venom there. Followers of Jesus Christ do not say we do not sin (though we wish we didn't); we know that we are sinners made righteous only through the shed blood of our sinless Savior, Jesus Christ and His righteousness. He paid our penalty; and we are free from condemnation through our faith in Him. May the Lord open your eyes.
@@laverawoods9174 Sorry what a load of nonsense that is free from condemnation.
Sorry your EZ faith wont save you
Mark 16:16 - Jesus says to the crowd, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved." But in reference to the same people, Jesus immediately follows with "He who does not believe will be condemned." This demonstrates that one can be baptized and still not be a believer. This disproves the Protestant argument that one must be a believer to be baptized. There is nothing in the Bible about a "believer's baptism."
Boy I thought you were free from condemnation this is but one example 🌹🌹

@@veler6049 The Bible was codified in 382 A.D. at the Council of Rome by...the Holy Catholic Church. Christ is at work outside the Bible, too.
@@zsedcftglkjh then why can't the church prove that Mary said that?
@@veler6049 Can you prove that God exists?
The Old Testament prophecy "the woman who will crush the head of the serpent"
Catholics do not worship or pray to Mary.
We honour her as the Mother of our Saviour. If Mary did not say "yes" to God, there would be no Christianity. Mary is the first Christian and example of what holiness and devotion to Christ looks like.
Mary is our spiritual mother.
Jesus said to his beloved disciple John from the cross, "Behold your mother"
Catholics pray to God and worship only God.
But we believe in Christian community "communion of Saints", we believe that we are all called to become like Christ and we need to pray for each other on our way to holiness. Jesus called us to pray together "when one or two are gathered in my name, I am there"
Those who have died are alive, they are part of the Christian community but they are purified and in the presence of God, their prayers are powerful. We ask angels to protect us, we ask Mary, all the Saints, our families and friends to pray for us. Some people come to Faith through Science. Nature and animal lovers feel special affinity to St.Francis who could communicate with living creatures. Those who lost their mothers or were abused by men, may need maternal love of the Holy Mother to help them trust in tender, unconditional love of God, the Father.
There are many forms of spirituality and many different spiritual journeys but only one God.
To be a good Catholic you do not have to have a special devotion to Mary but you need to follow Christ and honour Christ in every person, especially in His Mother. We need to honour Christ in ourselves, our body and soul is the Temple of the Holy Spirit.
@zsedcftglkjh the Bible is God's word to us. None of the disciples were catholic they were sabbath keepers. Rome crucified Peter enslaved John. The priest were corrupt from the start.they are not are not celebate. They are not married to the church many are gay and many have sex with the nuns. As well as women who come to them for confession. They drink and smoke. Saying they have the right to forgive sins is blasphemy only Jesus has a right to forgive sins. The Bible tells us we have a high priest in heaven we can go to. Jesus says we are forgiven if we can confess our sins to him an go an sin no more. But the papacy as an institution will push Sundays laws forced upon the people who are sabbath keepers. The papacy is the harlots of revelation. But there are many catholic individuals who have been decieved that's why Jesus is calling come out of her MY people that ye be not partakers of her sins.

Saint Augustine (died A.D. 430):
"No man can find salvation except in the Catholic Church. Outside the Catholic Church one can have everything except salvation. One can have honor, one can have the sacraments, one can sing alleluia, one can answer amen, one can have faith in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, and preach it too, but never can one find salvation except in the Catholic Church." (Sermo ad Caesariensis Ecclesia plebem)
"In the Catholic Church, there are many other things which most justly keep me in her bosom. The consent of peoples and nations keeps me in the Church; so does her authority, inaugurated by miracles, nourished by hope, enlarged by love, established by age. The succession of priests keeps me, beginning from the very seat of the Apostle Peter, to whom the Lord, after His resurrection, gave it in charge to feed His sheep (Jn 21:15-19), down to the present episcopate."
- St. Augustine
"See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is administered either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude of the people also be; even as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. -Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Ch 8
-St. Ignatius A.D. 35 to 107.
"He was the third bishop of Antioch and tradition records that he was a disciple of the apostle John."

@@Mr.10X. Hello, I'm not trying to be rude in any way, I'm just asking a question. Why do you say that no one can find salvation except in the catholic church? I grew up catholic and later in life, I Repented my sins as an adult, got Babtized and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father. We must spend time with God everyday, live by God's Word and his Laws. Being Catholic does not guarantee you will be saved and will end up in Heaven in the end. The Bible tells us how we are to live and tells us how we will be saved. The path to the light is narrow and many will not go through it, bit the path to the dark is broad and many will pass through there. I am not trying to be rude in any way Brother. I can tell you are a child of God and believe that Christ is Lord & Savior. Thank your time and have a Blessed Day/Evening. 😊
@@Mr.10X. Saint Augustine is not Jesus. Saint Augustine was a man that the RC church proclaimed a saint. That did not give him (a man) the right to judge and condemn others. Jesus said judge not and you will not be judged. Many Christian religions have different doctrines. A person's salvation is one on one with Jesus.
Gods word Never changes , you need to get out of that awful system as it will take you to a very hot place , you cannot serve 2 gods which is what you are doing at the moment , you either believe in Jesus Christ and Him alone for your salvation or you don't , but you cannot serve 2 masters , For you are saved by Grace Alone ,Through Faith Alone , in Jesus Christ Alone ,and all to the Glory of God Alone ! . I pray that Almighty God will open your eyes to the truth before its too late for you !.
I am a Catholic convert at the ripe old age of 70. I have never felt the love and sense of community in the Protestant church that I feel now. When I walk into my church I feel the actual presence of God. I wonder the energy you are taking to convince people otherwise. History is just that…don’t look back we are not going that way…ALL humans (dare I say MANY evangelical ministers) have made mistakes.; horrible mistakes.
I went to the Holy Land and walked in the steps of Jesus. I chose his church and all its faults over any other. Peter made many mistakes as do we all and Christ knew this and picked him as the leader anyway. We are all flawed but I will always choose Christ’s way over man’s way…EVERY time!

I am very sad that you were abused by people in Catholic Church and I hope God will heal all your wounds. However abuse happens across religions, races socioeconomic conditions, in all societies. Catholic religion teaches to be peaceful and compassionate like Jesus but the Church cannot monitor and control the behaviour of its members. Some institutional sins were committed, for example transferring abusive priests to other parishes. This has been corrected and there are new rules for clergy and volunteers in the Church to protect the voulnerable . People become abusers for very complex reasons: intellectual or spiritual ignorance, being overwhelmed and having no support, being themselves abused, falling into powerful sinful inclinations, developing serious neurological or mental illness. I hope you can forgive Catholic Church for not protecting you and forgive those that have harmed you. Forgiveness does not mean that you wipe their sins and forget about what happened but it will free you to hopefully live in peace!

My Catholic religion meant everything to me until I began to question what I believed. The adoration of the saints caused me to seek with all my heart Who was Jesus because he disappeared among all the saints. I knew Catholics who adored Mary they would put a statue of her on the lawn if they wanted it to rain.I decided I would start reading the Bible something i was told it was better not to read. Eventually it opened my eyes to the truth and after 7 years of searching I found real the Jesus my saviour and Lord and was set free. Hallelujah
Amen, keep searching the scriptures and expose the lies the Catholic Church has spread through the world.
We are to follow Gods Law, His commandments and not the commandments of the Catholic Church.
They changed times and laws, Gods wants us to set apart the 7th day, not the 1st. Read Hebrews chapter 4 and follow Jesus's walk through the scriptures, he showed us how to live, how to act and how to worship the Father he came to make known.
God bless you on your search and may the Holy Spirit guide you!
Many Catholics really do love Jesus too. It really is all about the heart, because it is a diluted form of Christianity w/ all the saints to pray to for intercession. Mary is the biggest hindrance. Not all, probably not even most Catholics, but too many will put Mary beside Jesus and even sometimes above. On the protestant side, the prosperity gospel is a huge hindrance, tying people to earthly desires first. There is no perfect vehicle, just a perfect savior.

I married a Catholic, that had departed from her faith, but disrespected and criticized my Methodist faith. Her disrespect towards me got Diabolical and worse when I learned I had Jewish ancestors. When I embraced my Jewish heritage claiming myself to be a "Messianic - Jew" behind my back she started a smear campaign of lies claiming I was an abuser and a Muslim. Those false allegations and the word Muslim got her a lot of attention and caused me to be arrested and put in jail. Nearly half my life and our business were destroyed.

@@AdeiltonChristian and Rebecca, feelings have nothing to do with knowing the truth and obeying God. Conviction sure plays a big part because the Holy Spirit works that way, but feelings can surely be deceiving. Religions, for religion's sake, are more interested in keeping traditions than honoring God and His Word. So, feeling the Holy Spirit by walking into a building could be as deceitful as feeling joy under the teachings of the RCC. As sinners, we tend to satisfy our own desires and not God's desires for us, so we need to be very careful how we let our feelings control our minds. The only truth comes from God and His Word.

@@Nordestada It's easy to refute ALL of Mike G's statements but just a few, due to space: The Catholic ENGLISH New Testament was first printed in 1582 (long before the KJV in 1611). Funny how Mike G does not mention this. The Head of the Catholic Church is Christ. His representative on earth is the Bishop of Rome. The first of which, Peter, Christ gave the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven (Matt 16:19) and asked him to feed His sheep (John 21). Again, Mike G does not mention this. Catholics believe anything Christ says and does is important. Even to the point of being able to go to hell. Those unfortunates spoken of in Matthew 7:21-23 believed themselves to be followers of Christ.
@@Nordestada Actually my dear in Christ, I don't believe in following the heart alone either, because is already wicked by nature. I started to follow the Catholic church because I started to study the bible more and to study the story of the church fathers and about the primitive church from a Catholic perspective which made more sense for me instead of the protestant one who was full filled with controversial arguments about the Catholic church and the bible.
I don't know why but I see you're a open minded person, I suggest you to do the same as I did. If you still disagree with me it's okay, but at least you'll understand the point of view of the Roman Catholic church. ❤️

I also constantly wonder if I am worthy of God's love or worthy to go to heaven and a brother of the girl I am dating just shared this with me.
STUDY the Bible don't just read it. That will answer any questions. Ask questions about what you are reading and then look for the answers. Study the culture and times of the Bible and understand it is not two separate books but one book that supports itself.
Your understanding of the CC is correct and that was told to you by the Holy Spirit listen to him, he only speaks from what is written in scriptures.
As a Catholic, I'm here to adress the false-claims and fallacies made by the speaker:
1. First of all, he establishes the Catholic Church as evil/bad/apostate without any development, just to make a frame good for his case.
2. He claims catholics are departed from the faith of apostles, but again, no analysis
3. He claims the first 600 years the scripture was boldly proclaimed, but the Synod of Hippo approved the bible in 393 - before that, there was tradition and some gospels/letters people could find
4. He claims Scripture was hidden from the people. Source? What is your case? Thats just plain false information.
5. He claims reformers restored scripture in vernacular language, but people were mostly analphabet at this point.
6. He claims catholics have ungodly traditions which nulify the Gospel. Which traditions? How they nulify the Gospel?
7. The timeline is just mocking catholicism without any analysis of profound theological dogmas we can track back to the fathers of the church and apostles
8. The Pope is not the Head, Jesus is. You claim catholics switch Jesus with the Pope, and that fallacy
9. Romans 8: why is your protestant interpretation the right one? What is your authority to proclaim the right reading of that passage?
Seriously, this speaker wouldn't stand a chance against any priest.
I don't need to ask that many questions...I will ask 2 and answer my own as well because you can't. Where in scripture does it say the saints hear our prayes? It says they pray I already know that. Where in scripture does it say Mary is sinless? I already know the answers. It never says the saints hear us, it says they pray for us. Do I need to hear someone praying to pray for them? Paul says "All have sinned". I have been told that all means everyone except Mary, but there is no scripture to back that up. Again it's nonsense made up years later. What does the Bible say again, if anyone preaches a different gospel to you let them be accursed?
Hey, brother in Chrtist! (1) First, the problem here is you are forcing the doctrine of Sola Scriptura for the Catholics. We do not agree with it at all, since it was invented by protestantism (no christian in history ever believen in that until Luther), so it is not very honest to ask that for us. What we sustain is the Tradition passed since the apostles, which is never in contradiction with scripture. We believe in Scripture, we just don't believe it is sola ;) (...) @@Halcyon1861
@@Halcyon1861 (2) second, about the saints: there is biblical evidence for that too. But lets summarize hundreds of pages of theology in a simple argument: a. All living christian, members of the Church, can hear and pray for each other; b. Whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life; Conclusion: Saints are alive and can still participate in the Church.
With a bonus: they are witnessing the Light, the Grace, the Glory. So, through Christ, they have more actions available - since they are not limited by the flesh. Thats why they can "hear" us, although thats not a physical hearing nor a dialogue with a dead body, like spiritism
(3) and about Mary, again, we have centuries of veneration, which can be tracked as far as the 2nd century. We rely in that tradition, which also interpreted many passages as proof of sinless nature os Mary. But I guess you could try to win against Aquinas, you would be a true debating hero. Or, an easier task, prove that someone who is full of grace (the meaning of "χαριτόω", who is soften by many protestant bibles as merely "favoured"), greeted by an angel, who would be called blessed by every generation. The list goes on, and you can find many prefigurations of Mary in the Old Testament too. Even Luther recognized her as worthy of veneration. But again, you will not find an explicit indication of the Immaculate Conception in the bible because not everything is the Bible (thats considered heretic and dont have any historical reports before the Reformation). @@Halcyon1861
(3) lastly, even if we disconsider all the Tradition of the Apostles and the Magisterium, if we go to Romans 23, the word "πᾶς" (pâs, all) used is ALSO used in "all followed Christ" in Matthew 2:3 (μετά αὐτός, πᾶς Ἱεροσόλυμα). So the greek term "πᾶς" (pâs) is used for "all, many, most, anybody" and so on. You can't just pick your own interpretation of modern english and call it. Thats why the historical studies and Tradition are important ;) I hope I could answer your doubts. @@Halcyon1861

Read the scriptures in the Bible and see the truth. It’s right there for those who have eyes to see.
You received the Holy Spirit at your baptism and were signed with seven the gifts of the Holy Spirit at your Confirmation. As a result later you had an emotional experience and felt consolation as you realised God's Holy Spirit is with you, as your bear your repentant heart and "work out your salvation in fear anx trembling" only those who persevere to the end will be saved....not all are saved.

Look at what Polycarp taught. That can be found in the bible. Quartodecimanism is found in the bible.
What is not found is these Catholic traditions like "Easter Sunday" or that the "Lord's day was switched toto sunday".
I have open panels letting anyone come on and challenge my views. Much of Roman Catholicism is not found in the bible.
@@chrislucastheprotestantview @chrislucastheprotestantview I was formerly Catholic, but PRAISE Jesus He rescued me from it with a miraculous recovery after a twenty one minute cardiac arrest death. I always believed in the Creator of Heaven and Earth but i questioned Jesus' and His life/miracles. Im fully convinced of both BOTH now, PRAISE the MOST HIGH 🔥❤️🔥
It was HARD learning the truth & coming out of Catholicism... there's such a strong pull, satanic pull, I do believe.
I agree with you, so much of the catechisms are contrary to the Word...not many Catholics know/care even about the wickedness. How can one sort inside audience hall and not see the blatant snake? Spiritual blindness and idolatry reign in The 'Holy' City... it's gut wrenching.
The Way is narrow, let us pray for shakings and awakenings in Jesus mighty name.
Why did past popes and bishops make themselves equal to Christ? The history of the RCC is dark, evil and pervert the very teachings of scripture
Romans 10:17 NASBS
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
The apostles didn't need the gospels in book form, they WITNESSED the gospel before their eyes and wrote about it. Their faith grew because they heard Jesus and what He spoke. They then wrote about it, and their faith would have grown more the more they read it and meditated on it. That's how we grow our faith today, by reading the word of God.
Most Americans don't understand how skeptical their ancestors were of Rome.

My mother was raised Catholic. My father was Southern Baptist. My Mother had me christened and I had first communion. I didn't go through confirmation. My father divorced my mother to marry another woman, even though he had married her in the Catholic church. My mother stopped taking us to church. My mother had a fancy Catholic Bible. It always sat on the coffee table. We weren't allowed to touch it. My mother had got my dad a King James Bible and dedicated it to him when they married. He gave it to me, because his new wife didn't want him to have it, since my mother gave it to him. I read it! Then I tore up my rosary and told my mother I wasn't Catholic anymore. If your read the New Testament, you'll know what's wrong with the Catholic church. Thank you, Jesus! I was there the day my mom went up to get saved at a non-Catholic church on an Easter Sunday. I 've learned not to celebrate pagan holidays since. I thank Jesus for staying with me. I'm a sinner. We all are. The only good in us is Jesus. I thank Jesus for saving me. We all need Jesus. Search the scriptures! Find Jesus! Pray for others to find him, too!
Guess you never read than new Testament
As a former Catholic I am amazed and I’m rejoicing about my Catholic friends awakening to truth. Praise the Lord! I beg you to THINK! If the foundation of all Catholic teaching is the trinity then how can that teaching be correct?
The trinity is the pagan 3 in 1 sun god (morning, noon and evening sun) that was accommodated into Christian doctrine. Who is the God of the Bible?
1 Corinthians 8:6 yet for us there is one God, the FATHER, OF whom are ALL things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.
The one true God of the Bible, the Father, is the source OF ALL.
Christ is the Son OF God. Christ, the natural, literal Son of God is fully divine.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit OF God and is His very presence (Psalm 139:6-7)
See also John 17:3, there are a total of 105 verses that declare the same.
You’ll NEVER find the following words or phrases in the Bible:
Trinity
God the Son
God the Spirit
More than that… What day did the pagans worship the sun? Sunday!!
What day did Jesus keep holy? The Sabbath. Was Jesus wrong? No. Who changed the day of worship? The papacy, they even admit it.
FYI… I once believed and taught the trinity because I never knew or even heard of anything else. I am ready, willing and able to study this out (not argue) with anybody who’s interested in any way we can… via zoom, phone, written correspondence or face to face if you’re in SE Michigan. Upon your request I’ll give you my contact info. Please accept my invitation.
May God bless you!!
@@meluginnetti1574 Got to love that truth
If I weren't Catholic, I'd look for the Church that the world despises, for the world despised Jesus, and he would be there. - Fulton Sheen
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me.". Things seemed to be going pretty well. That is until Jesus said “For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood,dwelleth in me, and I in him.” This was too much for many of his disciples and “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Jesus turns to the 12 and asks, “Will ye also go away? Vs 61, Jesus did not back down, for He said, "Does this offend you?" it offends protestants. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Jn 20:21, "As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."
Jn 17:18, "Even as thou hast sent Me into the world, so I have sent them into the world."
Jn 17:22-23, "And the glory that thou hast given Me, I have given to
Matt. 28, 18-20: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye, therefore. and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Jesus says to the crowd, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved." But in reference to the same people, Jesus immediately follows with "He who does not believe will be condemned." This demonstrates that one can be baptized and still not be a believer. This disproves the Protestant argument that one must be a believer to be baptized. There is nothing in the Bible about a "believer's baptism."
"Accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior," or "Ask Jesus into your heart" isn't the biblical answer.
It’s important to be saved from hell, damnation, and the stain of original sin, but what are we saved for? We are saved for union with Christ. Our salvation began when we were born again through baptism and God’s own Divine Life was restored in our souls, making us like Adam and Eve were in the Garden before the Original (first) Sin. As we go through life, we are united with Christ through the Sacraments he left as gifts for us, especially through Penance (forgiveness of our sins committed since Baptism) and the Eucharist (partaking of God’s own Life, His own Divine Nature, 2 Peter 1:4) - until that day when we are truly united with Him in heaven.
Scripture teaches that one’s final salvation depends on the state of the soul at death. As Jesus himself tells us, "He who endures to the end will be saved" (Matt. 24:13; cf. 25:31-46). One who dies in the state of friendship with God (the state of grace) will go to heaven. The one who dies in a state of rebellion against God (the state of mortal sin) will go to hell. (For the teaching on venial (non-deadly) and mortal (deadly) sins, see 1 John 5:16-17)
What I must do to be saved:
*I must be baptized with water and the Spirit. Mark 16:16, John 3:3-5, Titus 3:5, I Peter 3:20-21. (Exceptions: [1] If I desire Baptism but die before I can be baptized with water and the Spirit, God accepts my desire to be baptized, and [2] If I am killed (martyred) because of my faith, but I have not had the opportunity to be baptized, God accepts my death as my baptism, called the Baptism of Blood).
* I must do the will of God the Father. Matthew 7:21
* I must keep the Commandments of God. Matthew 5:19-20, Matthew 7:21, Matthew 19:17, 1 Timothy 6:14, and others.
* I must accept the Cross (suffering). Matthew 10:38, Matthew 16:24-25, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23, Luke 14:27. Phil 1:29, and others.
* I must be a member of God's true church. Acts 2:46-47.
* I must confess my sins. James 5:16, I John 1:9, John 20:19-23
* I must heed the words of St. Peter, the first Pope. Acts 11:13-14, Acts 15:7.
* I must eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus Christ. John 6:51-58, I Corinthians 10:16-17, 11:23-30
* I must do unto others as I would have them do unto me and love my neighbor as myself. I must feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, visit the sick and those in prison or give other aid to those in need. Luke 10:33 ff, Mt 25:31-46. "Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are very pleasing to God" Hebrews 13:16. Good works don’t save us, but we will be judged by them.
*I must strive to be holy. "Strive for peace with everyone and for that holiness without which no one will see the Lord." Hebrews 12:14
*I must endure (persevere) to the end. Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13, Mark 13:13.
And ... ? What else must I do?
Catechism
#432 The name "Jesus" signifies that the very name of God is present in the person of his Son, made man for the universal and definitive redemption from sins. It is the divine name that alone brings salvation, and henceforth all can invoke his name, for Jesus united himself to all men through his Incarnation, so that "there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."😜😜
I urge you to listen to the testimony of Dr. Scott Hahn, who at one time was very anti-Catholic. I am sorry for all those who have mislead any away from the One Church Christ himself established, the Catholic Church. There will always be bad actors in the Church. Even Jesus' chosen men, the apostles, didn't stand by him except John who stood at the cross with Mary.
YOU COME FROM A BROKEN HOME AND SO BROKEN IS YOUR LIFE. PLEASE COME HOME, TRUST THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. START TO GO TO ADORATION AND START TO PRAY THE ROSARY AGAIN.
When my (now ex) catholic stepfather was going through a rough period I handed him the Bible. In south American culturally catholic homes the Bible's just an ornament, it's the pictures and statues of Mary they praise and go to for help..
Anyway, I saw the changes in him as he read it and when he finished I gently asked him:
Now that you know the Word, does that in any way, shape or form exist in harmony with what you've been taught in the church for 60+ years?
- No
Well, do you accept Christ as your one and ONLY true savior?
- Yes
Oh the joy when he passed me the statue of Mary he had in his room. I took it out, broke it and threw it in the trash.
HALLELUJAH‼️‼️‼️
You broke a statue of God's mother, and your proud of It? How do you think Jesus would feel you disrespected his mother like that.
@@MOGO8907 My stepfather walked in the dark for 60+ years thanks to a corrupt religious system. I hand him the Bible, he reads it and is born again according to John 3. God opened his eyes by Grace as he puts his faith in Jesus Christ as his one and only true Savior.
Meanwhile you are worried about a manmade idol..
That is the problem right there..
God bless you ❤
@@leluyaa I'm not worried about any inanimate piece of resin, what troubles me is the disrespect you protestants have for our Lady, the mother of God.

@@MOGO8907 Jesus was so happy for the man to break that idol.

I remember the "Catholic Guilt", it was horrible. Praise God, I am now saved by His grace through faith in our wonderful Savior Christ Jesus. I have no desire to go back to bondage. I am now safely in the hands of God. Thank your LORD. We love You because You first loved us. Amen.
I remember the hopping from non denominational evangelical Protestant sect to another every few years, and now a Catholic with no Protestant worshiping of our ministers who lie to us with their “the word is clear, the passage is clear.” That’s why there are 50,000 Protester sects because it’s all so clear!
Its dangerous though I was never into it, God bless
Yes , and that is exactly what the Roman system does , it keep its followers in fear , bondage and chained to a so called confession box all of their lives ,and never knowing where they are going when they die , the best they can hope for is a none existing place called purgatory where they hope to go for further sanctification ,Praise God He took you out of it and into the truth of your salvation . Cheers and God Bless !.
After 50 years of being an Evangelical, I went home to the Catholic Church.
I'm sorry.
Welcome Home to Rome Seeet Rome( I am sure you read Scott Hahn books)
But it’s truly the 1 HOLY APOSTOLIC CHURCH that was founded by Jesus
So very happy for you
Better turn around and find a good christian church.
So you trust that man they call pope and a string of beads over what the Bible actually says?
@ingeniousmechanic Sorry to have to tell you, but your churches do not exist anywhere in Christian History, untill 1,500 years later ,when a small handful spun. off from The Church ( Catholic Church.. Now ? There are over4,000+ spin-offs of squabbling, divided Denominations. All of these Latter on day churches are implying that Christ and the Apostles FAILED to establish their church-- But that you guys fixed it for them since they failed at it !!
God spoke to me audibly when I was 18 yrs old and he said "come out of her". Two minutes later a christian friend rang me and he said "did you hear that"?. I said "yes, a voice said to me, come out of her". My friend said he heard it too. On that day we both left that Catholic religion.
WOW I WONDER WHICH VOICE SPOKE TO YOU.
God spoke to me audibly too, three different occasions, and appeared to me in dreams and visions to give me guidance and instructions. I know was Him because the overflowing love that emanated from Him and filled my heart with love and peace.
That's awesome! It just makes me wonder why God doesn't just speak out loud to the whole Catholic church 👀.

He already spoke through written scripture. But they are not listening to that either.
I was raised catholic and I remember being a 9 year old little girl and a chubby little nun was telling us about purgatory and if we did something really really bad we would stay there a very long time 10,000 years or more. Something isn't right about that to me. Then why did Jesus die for us? I am so glad My dad's boss witnessed to him and got us out of the catholic church. We are born again christians And I thank you for this video God Bless you, I will pray for you.
I’m sorry to hear that sister misrepresented the doctrine of purgatory to you. I’d encourage you to take another look at official Church teaching, that way if you choose to not be Catholic still, at least you’re rejecting what we actually teach
The nun did say 'something really really bad', at least she quanitified it, the protestant lie just expects slavation no matter what just by saying Jesus is Lord & accepting Him as our Saviour. Wouldn't this then mean all Catholics who say this every mass would then also be saved, by default? But I guess one has to revert to a pagan church to be saved eh? I listen all the time to the arguments presented against the Catholic Church & I'm yet to find a single case worth paying attention to. This video was so boring, I ended up being more inetersted in the comments.
Youre living a false gospel, one thats easier for you.
@blakewolford8903 she was right.The cc does teach purgatory and that is a lie.There is no purgatory.Read the Bible people,the word of God.
Honestly, even though the leader of the protestant sect removed 7 books from the Holy Bible. There is still a lot of proofs about the purgatory in the bible, which is defended for thousand years by philosopers and doctors.
"47 That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.
48But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows.
From everyone who has been given much, much will be required;"
Jesus clearly teaches about the Purgatory throught this parable over here, however, you guys keep sticking with your own interpretation.
But in the Holy Bible it says:
2 Peter 1:20
"knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation."
You just need to stop closing your eyes to the Catholic interpretation, like i did. (Former protestant here)
@@tom-8319
I’d recommend checking out Dr. Scott Hahn. Wonderful story of conversion from Protestant to Catholicism.
Agreed, Scott explains very well about the Catholic Church and mass. The whole mass is scripture! The whole rosary is all scripture, from the bible! There is so much deception and confusing that you need to do your homework with prayers and discernment to see the whole truth of the Catholic Church.
Be aware it was Martin Luther who removed 7 books from the bible 1500 years after Jesus death. Luther’s mistakes are obvious. The reformer’s intention wasn’t to get at the truth of the Scriptures but rather to edit out the “messy parts” that contradicted his new vision of Christianity.
That's what i keep telling to the protestant brothers, i hope they start to at least study about out faith someday. It doesn't make any sense to study about the Catholic Church by protestant sources.
@@robertc806rosary is unbiblical repent and believe in the true gospel of Jesus.
@@robertc806Catholics were debating which books to include in the Bible at that time. They decided to keep those that Luther left out only after the Reformation happened. It was likely a means to distinguish themselves from him. It wasn’t just Luther that wanted those books left out

Grew up Catholic and by the time I was 12 I had read the bible. When I began asking the priest big questions that contradicted what he was saying he would just smile and push me along. I never quit asking and he never answered...just literally pushed me forward. I became a Christian when I was 30 and they love the questions.
My mother said she too left the Catholic church when she was young (not quite as young as you). She too read the bible for herself and became a Jehovahs Witnesses because she then “knew better”. Is that what you are too?
@@srich7503 no sir. I became a hippy and when I was 26 I started to read the forbidden book. That book, the Bible, was in english and I owned both a dictionary and a thesaurus . I read it and then I played my JesusChrist Superstar Album.

Well, there is form, and there is content. Form without content is meaningless; empty. Empty rituals, empty souls. Content, even without much form is better than that. Best of all is the balance between content and form, because this is the meaning of life; Christ's sacrifice for our sake is what ennobles us with the possibility of redemption and Heaven. Christianity is the greatest means we have to bring peace to our world. Not necessarily religion as it now stands, but the Holy Spirit of God. Come Holy Spirit, come!

I was fortunate that I did learn about Jesus there, but it's a different thing to know him as a friend and saviour.
Today, I am an old lady with a story to tell and I am writing it. Writing it came about as an instinctive need, therapy, I suppose.
My life has become so positive now and despite the ailments of old age, I am aware that I bubble over whenever I talk about Jesus and whenever I share Christian fellowship and I notice that I talk about Jesus whenever I get the chance.
I have dear Roman catholic friends of course and I love the way you open your talk by explaining that we love our Catholic friends. I have been searching for so long for how to convince a very dear friend of the truth. When I listened and watched the clear graphics of this talk, it made me feel so encouraged to try again, to keep going with a gentle approach to someone who is adamant that I have 'gone wrong.'
Thank you for your calm, truthful words. Amen.
Does your Catholic friend actually love Jesus and reverence God? Many Catholics have an admirable walk w/ God. It's a different vehicle, and I do believe there is false doctrine. I've given up on condemning Catholics. There are weaknesses in protestant faith too. The bible above all exhorts us to love one another and to find a unity in the faith as followers of Christ.
Beautiful said!
We need this translated into Italian for my 91 year old grandmother
The last supper. Described by all four canonical gospels and Paul. “do this in remembrance of me”. That , my friend, is the first mass. That is a direct instruction from Jesus himself. There is no refuting that.
Secondly, if “This is finished” means anyone can do whatever they want, whether moral or immoral, and automatically end up in Jesus‘s kingdom, imagine what the world would be like. It’s not a free ride.

After the Jews gain Israel the perpetual Sacrifice will be removed and the Abomination of Desolation replaced therin then comes the end of time for the Gentiles.
After the Jews gain Israel the perpetual Sacrifice will be removed and the Abomination of Desolation replaced therin then comes the end. Jews got Israel in 1948 Vatican11 Imposters and Apostates and Hirelings overthrew the Roman Rite Church. Caesar will take over the Jews after WW111. Why They said in front of Pilate "We have no King but Caesar" I learned Faith is a gift from God we are saved by Grace and not of works of your own now look at James Faith without works is dead. Works must be done in the grace of God.
Be careful Scripture tells us Salvation comes from the Jews what does it mean WAR.
When Jesus taught His followers about the Eucharist we are told in Scripture many left Him.

This is an answer to a prayer after 44 years. I walked away from Catholicism in 1979, but couldn’t put the facts in such concise order to assure myself AND to convey to my family- of over 129 people. Please pray I can present this to them in a gentle way which they will be open to.
May the Holy Spirit give you the words. Some people need it gently, and others need a giant truth bomb that gets them so angry they set about proving you wrong only to find out you are right. Showing them that the Bible says Jesus Christ is the only intercessor. Roman paganism had all the different deities the ones you would go to for this or for that, so patron saints are pagan. The “Queen of Heaven“ is an abomination to God. That’s in the old testament. That’s a pagan goddess. Jesus Christ has siblings, you can read about them in the four gospels. Mary can’t be a perpetual virgin if he has siblings, and he does. Mary is not to be “revered”. Respected as a servant of God just like Moses and Abraham and others, sure, but she’s not to be given more than that.
The truth. All you have to do is read the Bible to them, the parts where what Catholicism does is an abomination to God. Then you can get to the things that Jesus actually told us to do that Catholicism has stripped away. Many blessings and authority to every believer that Catholicism has stolen from its people. They have been robbed. How many people have begged for an exorcism, when any believer has the authority to cast out demons? Much to be learned if they only read the Bible with open eyes.

At 15 yrs old, I started questioning everything in the Catholic Church. Billy Graham on TV made it understanding then RB Theime Jr cleared it all up. This is an excellent Pastor Teacher.
When i was a protestant, i was used to do the same, but i've never had the courage to go and study about what the Catholic Church had to say about all these questions.
Then, i compared the Catholic Church awnsers and the protestant ones, and the Catholic Church ones had more authenticity and reasons than the protestant ones according to my point of view.
I hope you do the same someday, it's always good to listen what the other side have to say.
(I'm a Roman Catholic now)
Isn't that the SAD REALITY! Evangelist are called in to preach what MOST pastors will not anymore ♻️😖
Actually no one is called to preach unless they have authority that must be rightly ordered and from Jesus Christ who gave it to the Apostles. This man has not the authority to preach and his calvinist message is not true Christianity. Most pastors dont because they are of their own strength not Gods...who founded one holy catholic Apostlic Church.

Luke 9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? 9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.

None were made by Jesus Christ and had Him as the prophesied foundation rock. Catholics cannot even interpret Matt 16:18 according to the apostles inspired interpretation of those prophecies found in Psalm 118:22, Isaiah 8:14-15, & Isaiah 28:16 which say Christ is the foundation, not Peter as the rock on which the church is built on first.
Paul and Peter interpreted these prophecies in Acts 4:11-12, Romans 9:33, 1 Peter 2:4-8, 1 Corinthians 3:11 & Ephesians 2:20. These inspired interpretations disproves Roman catholic denomination's interpretation therefore proving their magisterium is in fact NOT INFALLIBLE!

@@amiepatterson8 I have really not checked out Saint Nicholas that much. But I do know that Santa Claus, who is sometimes called Saint Nick, is demonic.

He’s like a wizard or a genie who slips down through peoples chimneys. He seems to have an excessive interest in children.
I think I’ve heard stories about Saint Nicholas slipping into peoples homes secretly and giving gifts to children. Big red flags.

Hello from Catholic Ireland.
My ancestors suffered centuries of persecution following the 16th century Protestant revolt against the God-given authority of the Papacy.
Repent. This life is short. Heaven and Hell are eternal.
Lumen Gentium is one of the principal documents of the Second Vatican Council. Below is an excerpt from Lumen Gentium.
“This Sacred Council wishes to turn its attention firstly to the Catholic faithful. Basing itself upon Sacred Scripture and Tradition, it teaches that the Church, now sojourning on earth as an exile, is necessary for salvation. Christ, present to us in His Body, which is the Church, is the one Mediator and the unique way of salvation. In explicit terms He Himself affirmed the necessity of faith and baptism and thereby affirmed also the necessity of the Church, for through baptism as through a door men enter the Church. Whosoever, therefore, knowing that the Catholic Church was made necessary by Christ, would refuse to enter or to remain in it, could not be saved.”
The men in the Vatican say enough about the fruits of Catholicism.
Great message, the wife being a converted Catholic never really understood thier teachings growing up. I was raised in the Christian faith. We have been discussing the differences and similarities between both faiths recentlt. One good point we came to on top of all these made here is "If Mary was so important why does she not have a book in the bible that talks about her?" Great message again God Bless.

As if Mary isn't in the Bible and their is a Book about her written By James the proveliqum of Mary😂😂
That makes no sense at all.

There is a book. It just wasn't added.
Has it occurred to no one that the Catholic Church, for 1500 years, carried a mis-conceived idea of what Christ intended, and then Martin Luther and others decided that they could look through that 1500 year old Catholic lens of Christianity and know Christ’s true teachings? Isn’t that a lot like looking back through history and deciding that, yes, southern succession was the true path for the US? I am no Catholic purist. I know the Church has had faults down through history and also that it continues to examine itself. As far as tradition, I feel it is very much a part of understanding the faith. “It is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye” sounds like,’no way a rich man can get to heaven’, right? Until you realize the ancient tradition of camels coming into a city via camel gates - the keyhole-shaped gate that would allow a camel, fully loaded, to enter the city - through that “needles eye”. No where in scripture does it explain ‘eye of the needle’. It is simply traditional knowledge that is lost on contemporary westerners unfamiliar with camels, caravans and the way they traditionally entered a city - a very tight, but not impossible, passage. Tradition enriches my faith and the Church has eased off a bit of late. Why? I used to eat fish on Fridays but Vatican II eased that requirement. Sacrifice is good but requiring that sort of sacrifice may not add to the faith as was once accepted. Now, l still don’t eat meat on Fridays but it is my choice and it is not a sacrifice but more of a way to keep God and Jesus’ sacrifice in my thoughts at least three times that day. It’s a great ‘tradition’ for me that strengthens my faith. Pope Francis’ attempts to be more inclusive has been met with huge resistance from the more traditional faithful, some Catholics even calling him the anti-Christ. I am reminded of the way the conservative, scripture-quoting Jews of Jesus’ day espoused their own biblical interpretation of what the Messiah would be…as they hung Jesus on the cross. All of these nasty, we’re right-you’re wrong proselytizers remind me of the Pharisees and Sadducee’s, not of the love Jesus had for mankind (and that means women, too, even though scripture doesn’t differentiate because we all know, indirectly that He loved his mother and Mary Magdelin, shown in His actions but not actually written as, “Jesus loved women”. Jesus summed up what fulfills the Law. Love God above all and love your neighbor. Of course the dude had to get a definition of WHO that neighbor was, so Jesus obliged with specifics, since apparently the dude wanted to limit his liability for love expended. If what you say and do doesn’t show love, you do not uphold the Law. And, Jesus didn’t come to save the supposed righteous but the very ones the righteous condemned.

In fact the text of the Bible did not significantly change during the translations from Latin into English in the 1500-1600's. It wasn't until the Alexandrian manuscripts were rediscovered in the late 1890's where the corruption of the Bible occurred. God preserved his Word in the Holy Bible King James in spite of the religious scholars both Catholic or Evangelical. We should not only be railing against the apostasy in the Roman Catholic cult, but the ecumenicals within the Evangelical "fruit-checking" cult as well.

So you went back to a church that bows and kneels before idols??
I'm sorry to hear that you hold such beliefs. As a Catholic, it is important to remember the teachings of love, respect, and compassion towards others, regardless of their faith or beliefs. It is always beneficial to engage in open and respectful dialogue with those of different faiths in order to foster mutual understanding and cooperation. I would encourage you to reflect on these values and consider how promoting understanding and tolerance can enrich your interactions with others. ⚜️AVE MARIA
No. Leading people to the truth is nothing he needs to apologize for. Tolerance leads people to Hell. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. The catholic church is not Jesus, not his church and cannot claim his authority. His body is all believers who put their faith in him and his finished work. We are saved by grace through faith. Not of our own works. Lest any man should boast.
@@schwiftycats You are ignorant to importance of tolerance and understanding in religious beliefs. Tolerance does not lead people to Hell; in fact, tolerance promotes acceptance and understanding between individuals of different faiths.
Furthermore, while it is true that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life according to Christian beliefs, it is not accurate to dismiss the Catholic Church as not being Jesuss Church or claiming his authority.
The Catholic Church has a long history and tradition of worshiping and spreading the teachings of Jesus.
Additionally, the statement that individuals are saved by grace through faith and not by their own works is a common belief in Christianity.
However, it is important to acknowledge the importance of good works and living a righteous life as a way to express gratitude for the grace and salvation given by God.
It is essential to promote understanding and respect for all religious beliefs, and to avoid making divisive or ignorant statements that may perpetuate misunderstanding and intolerance.
The Catholic Church was commissioned by Christ to teach all nations and to teach them infallibly-guided, as He promised, by the Holy Spirit until the end of the world (see John 14:25, 16:13).
The mere fact that the Church teaches that something definitely true is a guarantee that it is true (see Luke 10:16).
Christ appointed Peter, so that we could discern truth from error.
This is how Catholics can know
in light of the definative teachings of the Church which leaders are leading people astry and which are not and be able to discern he Spirit of Truth from the spirit of error in light of the definative teachings, doctrines and dogmas of the Magisterium.
For more than 2,000 years the Catholic Church has never once contradicted itself in its infallibly defined doctrines on faith and morals.
This doctrinal consistency is exactly what one would expect if Jesus divinely instituted the Catholic Church.
Such constancy of doctrine is unheard of in other religious organizations. Consider the thousands of doctrinal/denominational divisions we have seen in Protestantism in just 500 years.
Wisdom is vindicated by Her works.
@@SonicSnakeRecords Her works? AVE MARIA? You're full of Goddess Worship, that has nothing to do with Jesus. You personally do not give Jesus Honor or make him Savior of your life. You need to repent and seek God, not Mary. Everyone is ignorant wither they realize it or not. IF you cant say what God has done to humble you spirtually and mentally. How do you know what you're learning is of God? If you have the Holy Spirit, you would have discern to test this.
@@michi-bi You show a misunderstanding of religious beliefs and practices.
The assumption that reverence for the Virgin Mary is somehow separate from honoring Jesus is misguided.
In many Christian traditions, including Catholicism, Mary is venerated as the mother of Jesus and plays a significant role in the life of believers.
This does not diminish the importance of Jesus as Savior.
Furthermore, the idea that seeking God through Mary or other figures is incompatible with true faith in Jesus is a narrow and limited perspective.
Different individuals find spiritual connection and guidance through various avenues, and Mary can serve as a source of inspiration and intercession for many believers.
It is also important to note that judging others' faith and spiritual practices, as this comment does, is not a productive or respectful way to engage with differing beliefs.
Each person's relationship with God is personal and unique, and it is not for others to dictate how someone should connect with their faith.
Ultimately, true understanding and discernment come from an open heart and mind, a willingness to learn from diverse perspectives, and a commitment to seeking the truth in love and humility. Judging and criticizing others' spiritual journeys only perpetuates ignorance and division.

Mary prophesied, "...all generations shall call Me blessed..." Luke 1:46
I ask you, my dear friend, to read carefully the first chapter of the Gospel of St. Luke, verse 26 to verse 55. It is very hard to understand how any Christian can study this passage and then refuse to honor Mary. Why, the “Hail Mary,” which Catholics love to address to the Blessed Virgin, is explicitly given there; part of it was said by the angel Gabriel and part by Elizabeth. The angel was inspired by God and Elizabeth “was filled with the Holy Ghost” (v. 41). Let us put together the words that the angel Gabriel and Elizabeth addressed to Mary: “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed are thou among women” (v. 28). “Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.” Here we have the salutation that Catholics address to Mary. The only addition we have made are the two names, “Mary” and “Jesus.” So that, in saying the Hail, Mary, Catholics are explicitly following the Bible. I shall deal with the second part of this prayer presently.
You will notice, my dear friend, that Mary in that sublime canticle known as the Magnificat, which is recorded by the inspired writer from verse 46 to 55, declared: “Behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed” (v. 48). Who, I ask, fulfills this prophecy: those who refuse to apply the adjective blessed to the Virgin Mary, or Catholics, who love to call Mary the Blessed Virgin?

So what was your family's excuse and yours for not reading Scripture
The Church forcefully and specifically exhorts all the Christian faithful . . . to learn the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ, by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures. Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ. Catechism Of the Catholic Church
Pope St. Gregory I (died 604 AD) “The Emperor of heaven, the Lord of men and of angels, has sent you His epistles for your life’s advantage-and yet you neglect to read them eagerly. Study them, I beg you, and meditate daily on the words of your Creator. Learn the heart of God in the words of God, that you may sigh more eagerly for things eternal, that your soul may be kindled with greater longings for heavenly joys.”
Pope Clement XI (1700 - 1720) To forbid Christians to read Sacred Scripture, especially the Gospels, is to forbid the use of light to the sons of light, and to cause them to suffer a kind of excommunication.
Pope Pius VI (April 1st 1778 AD) “the faithful should be excited to the reading of the Holy Scriptures: for these are the most abundant sources which ought to be left open to every one, to draw from them purity of morals and of doctrine”
Pope Pius VII (1800 - 1823) "encourage their people to read the Holy Scriptures ; for nothing can be more useful, more consoling, and more animating, because they serve to confirm the faith, to support the hope, and to influence the charity of the true Christian."
Pope Leo XIII (1893) “The solicitude of the apostolic office naturally urges and even compels us…to desire that this grand source of Catholic revelation (the Bible) should be made safely and abundantly accessible to the flock of Jesus Christ”
Pope Pius X (1903 - 1914) “Nothing would please us more than to see our beloved children form the habit of reading the Gospels - not merely from time to time, but every day.”
Pope Benedict XV (1914 - 1922) “Our one desire for all the Church’s children is that, being saturated with the Bible, they may arrive at the all-surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ”
Pope Pius XII (1943) “... This author of salvation, Christ, will men more fully know, more ardently love and more faithfully imitate in proportion as they are more assiduously urged to know and meditate the Sacred Letters, especially the New Testament ...”
Pope John Paul II (1979) “catechesis must be impregnated and penetrated by the thought, the spirit and the outlook of the Bible and the Gospels through assiduous contact with the texts themselves”
Pope Benedict XVI (2006) “I urge you to become familiar with the Bible, and to have it at hand so that it can be your compass pointing out the road to follow. By reading it, you will learn to know Christ.”
Pope Francis (2015) “The Bible is not meant to be placed on a shelf, but to be in your hands, to read often - every day, both on your own and together with others”
Gee, good thing you don’t like condescending emails, right? Anyway, I am not rebuking God’s Word, I am rebuking man’s word and, in particular, I am rebuking your word. Your fallible, man-made, non-authoritative, biased and bigoted word.
You speak of the “laughable infallible teachings of the [M]agisterium,” yet you tend to also speak as if you yourself are infallible. Do you believe your private interpretations of Scripture to indeed be infallible? And, if not, will you then admit that your private, fallible interpretations of Scripture, in regard to Purgatory and other such Catholic teachings, could be wrong? You won’t admit that, though, will you? You know why? Pride, ..pride. You are too proud to admit that you could be wrong. That your interpretations are indeed fallible and, therefore, prone to error.

I take it that during this time as a Christian you have not sinned even 1 time correct? Naturally due to rising to such a high spiritual level of perfection, your thoughts are totally pure and the passions cease to exist due to your total sanctification and totally pure heart. I must hand it to you, it’s one thing for a Monk to leave the world and live in constant unceasing prayer on the Holy Mountain of Mt. Anthos, but to live in the world like you do and still be able to reach such a high spiritual state of perfection that the Great Saints could never achieve deserves of crown of diamonds👍👍
@@tinatina4789 which ten command version are u referring to...the one in Exodus or Deutoronmy, because there can be up to 12-14 commandment depending how u structure them, and no lol your not correct on that point lol, that's been debunked a long time ago.
Such a beautiful way to contrast the differences. This is a video that I can ask my dad to watch without him feeling attacked. In the past I have struggled to approach him without being disrespectful. I will ask him to watch this video with an open heart and mind. His salvation is on the line. Please pray for my father to leave the false Catholic Church.
I just sent this to my sister with the same comment of viewing it with an open mind and an open heart.
@@Stiletto2016 I called my dad first to ease the blow. He seemed open to listening. I know I should not fear man but rather fear the Lord which is why I asked him to view it. I am praying for my dad and your sister to see and hear the truth! Bless you and look up. Our redemption is soon❤
@@slowdriver1393 my sister refuses to even view it.
@@Stiletto2016 I am praying for her Annette. All we can do is plant the seeds and let the Holy Spirit water them.
@@Stiletto2016 it’s a pity that he thinks that he is a Protestant instead of being a born again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ
After listening to this guy, thank God I’m Catholic
You have to know God before you can thank him.
@@user-uu8bs8tg1k God has to know him!
@@user-uu8bs8tg1k So glad I'm not an Evangelical heretic !!!
I am an off and on Catholic.
But I have always questioned a lot about traditions and rituals and hierarchy of the church since I was a kid in Catholic school. I recently had an impulse to read the Bible, not just NT but OT as well. I have found this to be very comforting and connective. At the very least, I can’t understand why we are supposed to talk to a priest instead of directly with Jesus, God. I see a large control structure in place when I really analyze how the church is set up.
Same here. I stepped away from the RC, in 2012, due to direct signs that the clergy in my local church were not benign in their actions. And beliefs. I left in horror. I have known true good priests and they were inspiring and uplifting. For a long time I thought I was an oddity, standing alone. Now I know that is not true. I'm just one of many, who are done with the reduction of Catholicism to mere ritual and mumbo jumbo. Christ is a living force and that is denied at our collective peril.
@@brennadickinson2920 I think there are many like us. But the Bible says to read and make sure what you are told is correct; this was mentioned referring to Paul himself. (Acts 17:11)
Most Catholics don’t do that and most priests don’t like it if they did.
Y'all missed the boat
We as Christians have only one Priest , Jesus Christ who is our great High Priest who is seated at the right hand of His Father , where ever lives to make intersession for his people , those whom the Father has given to Him Before the world was made !.
@@brennadickinson2920 Why did you leave bc of a mans mistakes. Didn't one of the 12, chosen by God Himself, betray Him?
So glad to hear someone speak on this. I have had trouble on how to bring this up with others.

Almighty God and Father has already chosen unto Himself a people in Jesus Christ Before the world was made , They will be brought into the knowledge of that salvation @ their appointed time , Eph . 1 , 3 - 7 .and yes keep preaching the word of God , as God will also use that to bring His Chosen into His Kingdom .

You have trouble because you just have to study about the Catholic and Protestant christians denominations at the same time in order to know which one is right.
(I did this, and i became a Catholic)
May God give you a blessed New Year.
My grandma was a prayer warrior, she trusted the lord all her life throughout good and bad. She even had a prayer room at her house, yes she was Catholic but a very different one. She never put Mary or Saint above, but she was Catholic. She had a huge Bible and pages still have her fingerprints. If she read the Bible and was so committed to the Lord. I’m sure the Holy Spirit revealed her the truth, I know I feel she’s in heaven. There is no way someone who follows Christ and put him first above everything isn’t.
I’m a Christian not Catholic nowadays, but I always think about that. I still remember the prayer room. 😢
She is not in heaven.
Have you ever read your bible??
Jesus will come back to resurrect the dead from their graves.
When people are dead they are not in heaven. They are dead!
Dust you are and to dust you shall return!
You will never see your Grandma again by leaving the Church that Jesus Christ started his Holy Catholic Church. Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus
@@johnvitelli3862Jesus didn't found ANY church. 🙄
@@kelvinpatrickleathem2467 yes he did read the Apostolic Church Fathers taught by the Apostles themselves.
@@johnvitelli3862Do you even think they'll???!?? The better that they will do is at least defile our faith the most as they can.
Look, I'm a former protestant who will become a Catholic this year, and it was such a long time of study.
Those who are ignorant will just watch a video from a protestant and assume a lot of misinterpretation about our faith! "You guys worship Mary, Saints, Sculptures, the pope etc..." These are lies that they'll stick with always until they start to study the Cathecism and the story of the early and primitive church.
Anyway, may God bless our brothers from the protestant Christianity and open their eyes.
I definitely agree with the teachings as far as being able to be strong in stressful situations, temptations, and being able to live a good healthy life with family and commitment.

How are you strong in stressful situations?
Religion is religion: whether Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, paganism, Judaism, Islamism, Mormonism, JWism, or Catholicism; a cult, or the occult - the works of man do not achieve the righteousness of God. By your works, apart from the Law, you will be judged apart from the Law, for your own conscience will judge you; by your works, under the Law, you will be judged by the Law. Only the righteousness - by the righteousness of Christ - will stand in the judgment, having fulfilled the Law through the crucifixion, burial of Christ, through faith in Him and His completed works.
Those who had religion of works will not stand in the judgment but will be judged and be found lacking, for if by works you've transgressed one law, then you have broken the entire Law, and you will perish.
Put your faith in Christ, not your works, or the works of men.

I am not familiar with the Catholic Church he is speaking about. Our church believes Jesus and accepted his gift of salvation. We love Jesus and love you brother!
