Good day! I'm been listening to videos from my friend regarding the Catholic Church! I'm speechless! 😢 it's sad, but through my years I've always felt the Lord calling me to leave the church. I'm a sinner, don't read the Bible, and so forth. If I give up my life to God and makes changes in my life, I wouldn't worry and just have lots of joy and happiness! Thank you for these videos, it's much appreciated!
Pastor MacArthur, thank you for having the courage to speak the Truth of the gospel. When the Philippian jailor asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" St. Paul answered, "Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." Amen.
Thank you John MacArthur for standing firm on what is right and true! This is so very very well said. Grateful for your preaching and teaching truth. Thank you Jesus for loving me! All to God be the Glory for ever and ever. Amen! Amen!
I was once transfixed by the illusion of historicity, the (false) claims of being "the church Jesus founded!" and the beauty of ecclesiastical architecture in the Roman Church. But there is no point of wonderful buildings and pretty liturgy when the theology is ultimately, categorically incorrect. True beauty is of the Lord, not mere vain craftsmanship from the hands of men. After regularly going to mass, reading Roman interpretations of the scriptures, studying church history deeply, reading the "church fathers" and completing the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) I left to join a fantastic Christian Church and have not looked back. The tragedy is that there are sincere people seeking Jesus who are going through those processes, yet who are being sorely decieved about the nature of their salvation, the ordinances, and of authority. Praying for all brothers and sisters sincerely seeking the Lord.
How humble you are to declare that the church which Jesus promised he would be with forever is categorically incorrect. I'll bet he wished he had contacted you in advance so he wouldn't have made so many mistakes. I wonder if he evens considers saving those who blatantly reject him.
His argument is as absurd as his reference to "The illusion of historicity" which is an oxymoron, historical facts are not an illusion but the false gospel which he's been hoodwinked into following (Protestant dispensationalism, "Word of faith heresy, Scoffield Zionism or one of the many bible swinging swaggering modernist pastors like John Hagee, Kenneth Copeland or Creflo Dollar) He remains in denial of how the Catholic Church, despite its flaws, has been used by Christ to carry out the Great Commission from the days of the Apostles right through Luther's reformation 15 Centuries later as well as to be the protector of Christian civilization against the invasion of Ottoman Turks, standing as a sentinel and guardian of the faith throughout Europe and the Americas, promoting Christian virtue via its schools and universities until (Sadly) WWII when half of Christian Europe was handed over to the communists and the cultural revolution (Led by these same Marxist agents) starting in the late '60's which has now infiltrated the church and corrupted it ✝

Do you still use the Bible she compiled and preserved for you or did you make your own yet… If you dont trust the Catholic Church then how do you know she choose the correct books to begin with… History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved it by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
Appreciate the reply. However the "she" doesn't decide anything. The laity, regular attendees are the "She", and they decide nothing. Catholic hierarchy write church doctrine. Namely,...the Pope, etc. The Catholic hierarchy didn't give the world the bible we know of today. That's a fact. If the Pope was truly the vicar of Christ on earth, a true successor to Peter, the new testament books would have been canonized centuries before. As the two major denominations grew in size with many outliers on the fringe being brought into the fold. The books used in those denomination had to remain consistent. The books used by both Churches had been already established within those institutions. We can not maintain fellowship with differing regions of newly joined churches who's doctrines had been derived by spurious books that alter other sound doctrines. And what of the apocrypha? The books the church hierarchy now view as inspired? They weren't deemed inspired until the sixteenth century. What happened to the guidance from the Holy Spirit or the Pope in that regard? Why not canonize the apocrypha then at Nicaea? The fact is, Later in time, the Catholic hierarchy determined to use those books in order to support a case for many of its doctrines as other denominations have done since. And some take it further by using spurious books such as the Gospel of Thomas and Peter. It depends on what you want your parishioners to believe. I appreciate your comment though your view requires a little less bias. Praise the Lord for his word. Peace.
@@Straight8S sorry i dont follow. “...the new testament books would have been canonized centuries before” implies it was canonized afterwards. When? By who? Please explain and clear up ALL historical evidence to the contrary…
"implies it was canonized afterwards." They were, at Nicaea around 425 ad. By an earlier Pope or council. This was done to bring all catholic churches on board along with the eastern churches to agree upon a single collection of writing. Too many churches even within their own assemblies using writings that were not inspired. Why wait four hundred years though? And then what about the Apocrypha? There is no controversy. If one exists it lies with the Catholic Church posturing a convenient retelling of history., imo,
@@salachenkoforley7382 Scripture was written by God via the Holy Spirit working through men, first of all. Second, Jesus established His church - which consists of all those who are born again in Christ - not the Catholic church.

@@srich7503 - Your "Catholic" facts are contradicted by scripture: 1 Cor. 4:6, “Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to exceed what is written, in order that no one of you might become arrogant in behalf of one against the other.” What was written? Scripture? The Old Testament, which is the Scripture to which Christ and the apostles appealed, was available to them. Oh, how could they have that since the Catholic church had not given them a Bible? John 21:25, "Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written." Books? Books? What books John? The Christian church, as an earthly organization, recognized the Word of God (John 10:27). They didn’t give us the Word of God. The authenticity of the New Testament documents, of which there are many, rests in the inspiration of God through the apostles - not the Catholic Church.
@@epsyuma My Catholic facts are contradicted by many “opinions”, not just yours there are JWs, Mormons, Oneness Pentecostals, Anglicans, Methodists, Armenians, Calvinists, Lutherans… But one thing i noticed - you did not, probably could not answer my question above.

@@srich7503 Well, I can tell you that if it wasn't for men like John Wycliffe, a protestant, who gave us the first English Bible in 1388, we might still be reading Latin. He was burned at the stake by the Roman Catholic church for doing so. In fact, it was against Roman Church law to even own a Bible. So, who really gave us the Bible? Christian men, not Pope's and Priests. PS: You can Google my "opinion". I was a Roman Catholic for 25 yr until the Lord saved me out of that corrupt religion and I became a Christian.

@iggyantioch *Why would Roman religion with 95% clergies and 95% doctrinse Not from God's Word be the "true church"? Shouldn't a true church have 100% clergies and 100% doctrines from Scriptures?*
The apostles Creed was made by the Cath church not the apostles. Trying to appear as if it originated from the apostles. The RCC has lied to Catholics for 2000years. N it holds Catholics in bondage by saying those who leave will lose their salvation. Jesus did not teach this lie
Those apostles were the first leaders of the Catholic Church. So you admit that the Catholic Church is 2000 years old. That makes it the ONLY possible true church established by Jesus. Go enjoy the entertainment in your faux church.
Christ's Sacrifice Once for All 10 For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near. 2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? 3 But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 5 Consequently, when Christ[a] came into the world, he said, “Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have you prepared for me; 6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure. 7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’” 8 When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9 then he added, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. 10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when Christ[b] had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. 14 For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. 15 And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying, 16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,” 17 then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.” 18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.
Without the Pope the Catholic Church would end up like your Protestants. 51,000 different denominations of Protestants all disagreeing on the same King James Bible. Why is that?.

I was raised a catholic, until…I actually seriously started to read the Bible. We can read in Scriptures that Lord Jesus commanded the Apostles to first preach the Gospel to the Jews, and after also to the Heathen or Gentiles (but never vise versa ! ). I found out in Scriptures who of the Apostles for the first time went to Rome .. and it wasn't Peter. In the Book of Acts it says in Chapter 28 the following: 16 "And when we came to Rome, the Centurion delivered the Prisoners to the Captain of the Guard: but Paul was allowed to live in a house, by himself, with a Roman Soldier that kept him. 17 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the Chief of the there living Jews together: and when they came together, Paul said to them: "Men and Brethren, though I have committed nothing against our people, our customs, or against our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans 18 who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of guild in me. 19 But when the Jews spoke against that verdict, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had made any accusations against my Nation. 20 For this Hope (the Gospel of Jesus Christ) therefore I have called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because for the Hope of Israel I am bound with these chains. 21 The Chief of the Jews said to Paul: "We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning you, neither any of the Brethren that came from there shewed or spoke any harm of you. 22 But we desire to hear of you what you think: for concerning this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere". The Roman catholic church claims that it was Peter who went to Rome first to preach the Gospel there first and that it was Peter who founded the Church there. Question: who lies? God,... or the Roman catholic church ? And what about the Letter in the Bible from Paul to the Congregation of Galatians where it says this in Chapter 2? From verse 7 we read the following: 7 "But on the contrary, when they saw that the Gospel of the Uncircumcision (Gentiles) was committed unto me, as the Gospel of the Circumcision (Jews) was unto Peter; 8 for He that gave Peter power effectively to the Apostleship of the circumcision (again: the Jews), the Same was Mighty in me toward the Gentiles. 9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the Grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we (that are Paul and Barnabas) should go unto the Heathen, and they unto the Circumcision. Again dear catholics: who lies? God’s Word, or the Roman catholic church? Bible, the book of Acts, Chapter 5, verse 29 : Then Peter and the other Apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey GOD - rather than man” !! Since the Roman catholic 'church' claims to be well-read on scriptures, then please point me in the direction of where in the Bible it says to pray to a woman, or with a rosary praising Mary, or to dead “saints.” Lord Jesus calls every believer Saints which all are who received the Holy Spirit and confess that Jesus is Lord - so Rome has no authority appointing only some people saint - that is ludicrous. Please show me the name ‘pope’ in the Bible? Please show me where it says to call any mortal sinful man (the pope) your father. Please show me where the Bible says anything about purgatory, or paying indulgences (buying yourself into heaven - is God corrupt ?). Please show me where Mary was sinless? Why is it that Catholics worship Mary still as a virgin when Lord Jesus had half brothers and half sisters? Please show me where it says to confess your sins to a fellow sinful man so that he may forgive them? Where does the Bible say the pope is the “vicar of Christ” on earth? Show me where it says that a preacher must be unmarried? It was the pagan ROMAN Emperor Constantine who was in fact the first “pope” who hijacked the first Christian Communion in Rome founded by the apostle Paul, and he didn't allow for the common people to have Bible Scriptures...to keep believers ignorant to stay in power, as the Catholic Church still tries to do. Later pope’s started the ‘inquisition’ because the book printing machine was invented and people like Martin Luther and William Tyndale could spread the Bible to the common people: they were persecuted and many of them burned to dead for that by decree of Rome, and so were hundreds others who did the same as they denounced the FALSE doctrines of Rome. Rome called them heretics and witches while they murdered Christians who loved Jesus and true Scriptures. PLEASE GET OUT OF THIS FALSE CHURCH !!! The Roman catholic “church” is a continuation of the old Roman PAGAN Empire: it never went away as it disguised itself as a Christian Church. Read Revelation, Chapter 17: verse 7, 8 and 9…Read also Revelation 18 to see what God will do to this “church.”

Hey stain, it's obvious you lack clear comprehension of the scripture & listening to idiots like MacArthur has certainly polluted your mind too. You will definitely benefit from watching a few videos by Dr John Bergsma, Dr David Anders, Dr Scott Hahn, Dr Trent Horn or professor Beaumont, as these guys moved by the Holy Spirit spent many years researching & studying for the truth and finally left their denominations, salary & positions and joined the Catholic Church. They explain it in plain language so folks like you can clearly understand & get educated. Please watch them for your own scrutiny and spiritual development.
The one who said everyone is his own pope. Pls explain this. Jesus established his church with the apostles. They were born again Christians n died as Christians. Jesus did not establish another church known as the Catholic church. If U hv some evidence pls produce it on YT
They were baptized into that one church. The moderns who call themselves "Christians" would have been excommunicated from that CATHOLIC Church as heretics.
Hey Dannyboy, apparently you are not a Christian so don't let it bother you.

A good example is MacArthur himself. I hope this cleared your misunderstanding. Peace
But the Apostles were ALL CATHOLICS. The Apostle CREED stated : I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, *the one holy catholic and apostolic church,* the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Protestants Do NOT Believe in Bible Alone (Sola Scriptura). If this is true, then Protestants should believe everything that is in the Bible, but do they? Indeed, they do not. will prove this with the Bible. (In the Bible No1. Christ says this is My Body This is My Blood. John 6:54-57: Protestants say NO! It is not His Body or Blood.) No2. (John 20:21-23: confess to one another, Protestants say NO! Do not confess your sins to another human.) No3. (In the Bible, it teaches that Christ founded a Catholic Church Matthew 16:18-19: So Protestants say NO! That Church is not the True Church; it is not Christian and it is the whore of Babylon.) No4. The Bible says you are NOT saved by faith alone. Let's read James 2:24: “See how a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.” Protestants say NO! You are justified by Faith Alone.) It is very obvious that Protestants interpret the scripture to meet their man made theology, they do not set their theology to believe the Bible.

The people deceived by the Papacy are innocent, as are many in the priesthood, and others, such as Nuns; the same cannot be said for those who were Popes, and their right-hand men.

Without becoming a new creature, the Holy Spirit is not in them. This is why they cannot understand scripture. The Spirit does not guide their understanding.
John Wycliffe, a pre-Lutheran reformer, believed in the Virgin Mary's help in obtaining the reward of Heaven. He said, "It seems to me impossible that we should obtain the reward of Heaven without the help of Mary".

I cannot abide a belief that says Christians will go to Hell because they don't properly understand scripture and faith. If you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you're good to go, as long as you practice being Christ-like. If you do this, you are DEFINITELY good to go.
Well what does Yehoshua HIMSELF SAY say he was not a Christian or a Catholic. Do you not like his words regarding the Torah? Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law [TORAH] or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to FULLY PREACH (Greek: pleroo) them. Mat 5:18 For truly, I say to you, until shamayim (pw heaven) and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law [TORAH]until all is accomplished. Mat 5:19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven), but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of shamayim. Mat 5:20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven). Are you like the Anointed One do you walk as he walked then you are good to go. If not repent and start today.
post You said: If you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you're good to go, as long as you practice being Christ-like Me: If you accepted Jesus you would not reject his teachings on church, Eucharist, Mass, salvation, forgiveness of sins, divorce, etc. So maybe you need to try harder and with a clear head?
@@bridgefin You would not reject *your interpretations on his teachings. People can accept Jesus Christ and have different opinions on his teachings. This is the kind of Christianity that is very ugly to me, and most people. The idea if you don't worship how another Christian sect/denomination worships, then you're going to Hell. I've heard very convincing arguments that Catholics practice idolatry by worshipping Mary and praying to her and the saints. Even if that's true (and I think it is), I don't think Catholics are going to Hell. Stop it.

@@posthawk1393 it is not what you think, but it is what Yehoshua preached. The WORD, torah is truth and the son of perdition, the papacy is a liar. Catholics will not enter the kingdom - they are idolaters and hate the Torah.

WCC of churches website answer to "Is the Roman Catholic Church a member?" : "No, although there is no constitutional reason why the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) could not join; in fact it has never applied. The RCC's self-understanding has been one reason why it has not joined. The WCC has close links with the RCC, highlighted by the 2018 visit of Pope Francis to the WCC to reaffirm the ecumenical endeavour. Since 1965, the WCC/RCC joint working group meets annually. The WCC commissions on Faith and Order as well as on World Mission and Evangelism include Roman Catholics who are members with full voting rights. Sponsored by the Vatican, a Roman Catholic professor is part of the faculty at the Ecumenical Institute Bossey. For more information, see Roman Catholic Church. For more than 50 years, the member churches of the WCC and the Roman Catholic Church have jointly fostered unity, theological reflection, and solidarity in service. The Roman Catholic Church is the largest, by far, among those churches that are not members of the WCC. Cooperation between the Roman Catholic Church and the WCC continues to grow across all aspects of the WCC’s work for a common Christian witness and service, especially following the visit of Pope Francis to the WCC in June 2018. The Joint Working Group, co-sponsored by the WCC and the Roman Catholic Church, is an effective tool to strengthen this cooperation. Created in 1965, immediately following the Second Vatican Council, the group brings together its 20 members annually; an executive group meets twice in between. The group’s two co-secretaries - one from the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and one representing the WCC - help to coordinate contact between the WCC and the departments (or dicasteries) of the Vatican. The WCC also has close ties and working relationships with evangelical and Pentecostal churches, historically less represented in the WCC fellowship." ref WCC WEBSITE. ********************************** More info from other sources: "The World Council of Churches includes at least 293 member denominations and is a major force and voice of what is commonly called ecumenism. While the original goal of the ecumenical movement and the World Council of Churches was "the unity of the churches", the new vision of the World Council of Churches is for the unity of all religions and of all mankind. The World Council of Churches frequently speaks out against capitalism, but is silent about the countless atrocities committed over the decades by communist dictatorships. According to one website that informs the public on the World Council of Churches, "Though denying charges of pro-communism, the World Council of Churches track record is a long and consistent testimony to the fact that they are one of communism's strongest and best allies." The WCC and its branch organizations are indeed involved in bringing about this "explosive political revolution" in countries which are not following their plan for a One World Church and a New World Order. The following are just a few examples of this. The WCC gave $85,000 to an African Nationalist terrorist group--PATRIOTIC FRONT--who were waging guerilla warfare in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe in 1978 (see Seattle Times, August 25, 1981). These terrorists killed over 1900 people, including eight British missionaries and their four children in Rhodesia that year (see Reader's Digest, August, 1982). In 1974 the WCC gave 6,355 British pounds to members of the terrorist organization--ZANU--in Africa, which are responsible for killing 87 Rhodesian civilians (see WCC: Religion or Revolution, p 13). Also in 1974, the WCC gave 50,000 British pounds to another Marxist guerilla force--FRELIMO (see Ibid., p 13). After the Rhodesian government fell to these terrorist groups, this statement was then given by their representatives at the WCC Conference in Melbourne, Australia in May, 1980: "Our hard-won victory did not come only through our own determination. We were sustained and reinforced by the support--material, moral, and spiritual--accorded to us by the World Council of Churches, and its member churches." American Opinion, January, 1982, p 4. The WCC also gave funds to the Communist North Vietnamese government (see WCC: Religion or Revolution, p 16), the PLO, Cuba, and other pro-Soviet totalitarian movements (see Reader's Digest, January, 1983, p 120). They also gave $823,000 to the Communist backed organization--SWAPO--in Namibia (see WCC: Religion or Revolution, p 28; American Opinion, January, 1982, p 2). "The obvious question arises: From where does the money come [for WCC financing]? The answer is: It comes from you. It comes from you if you put money on the collection plate of a church that is part of a denomination which belongs to the National Council of Churches. The money goes from your church to your denomination, to the National Council, to the World Council." American Opinion, January, 1982, p 12.

One of the great temptations when it comes to religion is to level the playing field and approach each religion on equal ground. We have been taught the need to "coexist" with other mainline religions for many years. In recent years, there has been an increasing trend to approach Roman Catholicism as if it's another denominational group within orthodox Christianity. That is simply not the case. Catholicism is a different religion all together. To put it plainly, Roman Catholicism is a heretical religion that preaches a different gospel than the gospel of Jesus Christ. I do not mean to offend anyone but the simple truth is Roman Catholics are not Christians and should not be approached as brothers and sisters in Christ. We must not embrace Roman Catholics as Christians on the basis of their official teachings. The RCC teaches a different Gospel and a different Jesus which is not the same Christ taught in the New Testament.
@TerryF-ht4qf Chances are, the so-called church you attend is nothing like the Church Jesus established with the apostles, as described in the book of Acts - the Church that even Paul was under the authority of. In other words, if your church isn't Catholic or Eastern Orthodox, you're in a fake church, practising fake Christianity.

Slandering Gods Pope or Priests is a grievous sin. A heretic is one who rejects Gods One True Apostolic Catholic Church & makes their own version or believes in the versions that God did not establish. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees & Scribes for rejecting His Church & Doctrine & created their own, like all 44,000 other Christian Churches did.Mt23:1-39, Lk 11:37-54 He wants everyone to be His One True Church, receiving His Doctrine, Sacraments & Teachings.2n1:9, Rom16:17, 2Thes3:6-16, Gal1:6-9, 2Cor11:3-4, Eph4:4-6, Jn10:16, 17:20-26 There is no salvation outside Gods Only One True Apostolic Catholic Church.

You are right, nowadays any Tom, Dick & Harry who is pissed at his pastor simply starts a gathering in his backyard & calls it a church. About 95% of protestant preachers have never entered the seminary & lack proper biblical knowledge. The other educated 5% are the ones who eventually flee and convert to Catholisism.

Answer me: did apostles make and bow down to statues? Did Apostles ask passed on saints to pray for them? Or sprinkle "holy" water on believers? Or wore fishhead hat and costumes? Or cite hocus pocus when they serve the communion? They merely broke bread and passed around the table. Did they demand believers to kneel in front of them to serve them communion? Or did Peter ask believers to kiss his hands and feet? Or did Apostles venerate statues, bones or relics?* *You do see clearly it all came from practices of believers after the Apostles - which Rcs claimed its from early writings. They had already deviated from the Apostles and Jesus. What Rcc called doctrines were merely partly traditions of errant believers + partly its own self traditions. Totally not from Jesus and Apostles at all.*
Jesus descended into Hell, meaning the GRAVE. He was in the grave for three days and three nights.

@@tempelhoferfeld7727 We have never worshiped any but the ONLY one true God as revealed in the Scriptures. You never saw worship of those others in a Catholic Church.
Here we have ANOTHER SELF-APPOINTED EXPERT on Holy Scripture, the INSPIRED WORD OF GOD, quoting and interpreting out of context and misleading people. If you ridicule, criticize, and don't trust the Catholic (Universal) Church on what it believes and teaches, why would you trust the Catholic Church to provide you with the Bible, that She compiled and finalized, (under the guidance of the Holy Spirit), the one book you revere so much, on which you're basing your entire religion off of? And then, to have the gall to conveniently remove 7 of its inspired books and changing words (by Luther) in order to justify personal beliefs and interpretations. That is UNBIBLICAL! A Christian cannot have an absolute assurance of which books belong in the Bible WITHOUT ACCEPTING THE AUTHORITY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. The earliest document we have in which “Catholic” is used to label Christ’s Church is found in a letter from the Apostolic Father St. Ignatius, ordained Bishop of Antioch, a direct disciple of St. John the Apostle, who wrote around A.D. 107, while being taken to Rome for execution, quote: “WHEREVER THE BISHOP APPEARS, THERE LET THE PEOPLE BE; AS WHEREVER JESUS CHRIST IS, THERE IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.” The Church Christ established had existed for over 350 years without a finalized Bible. It wasn't until the year 382 that the Magisterium at the Council of Rome, during the reign of Pope Damasus-I, that we got the canon of scripture, JUST AS THE CHURCH HAS IT TODAY: 46 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament. This proves that unwritten SACRED TRADITION IS JUST AS VALID A SOURCE OF REVELATION AS THE BIBLE. The biblical canon was reaffirmed by the regional councils of Hippo (393) and Carthage (397), and then definitively reaffirmed by the ecumenical Council of Florence in 1442.Finally, the ecumenical Council of Trent solemnly defined this same canon in 1546, after it came under attack by the first Protestant leaders, including Martin Luther. Scripture tells us in (1 Tim 3:15) that “THE CHURCH IS THE PILLAR AND FOUNDATION OF THE TRUTH”. Jesus established His One True Church giving HER AUTHORITY, starting with the Apostles, (also under the guidance of the Holy Spirit) to MAINTAIN UNITY, to ORDAIN His ministers and successors (Priests and Bishops), to PRESERVE the DEPOSIT of FAITH and PREVENT ERROR, to TEACH His TRUTH, to INTERPRET Holy Scripture, and to DISTRIBUTE HIS GRACE by way of the Seven Sacraments, including the Holy Eucharist in the Mass, the primary means Christ showed His Apostles at the FIRST MASS, (the Last Supper), how we are to worship God and have communion with Him. Faith tells us that Jesus is God and WHAT GOD SAYS, IS. As foretold in John 6:51-58: “My Flesh is true food..my Blood is true drink”, ETC.. Of the bread: “Take, eat; this is my body to be given up for you”; and, of the cup, “Drink of it, all of you; for this is my blood of THE NEW COVENANT, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins” (Matt. 26:26-28). Saying: “Do this in memory of me”. (See 1 Cor.10-16). Jesus prayed for unity among His followers (John 17:21) and PROMISED that HIS CHURCH WOULD EXIST UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD, (Mat. 16:18); undoubtedly, beyond the Protestant Revolution, and STILL EXISTS TODAY. Protestants are, without fault of their own, calling Jesus a liar by not accepting that fact; thus, they mock everything that His One Universal Church is and does. To mock the Catholic Church is to mock Christ. Common sense alone should tell you why JESUS ESTABLISHED a ONE TRUE UNIVERSAL CHURCH; just look at the 35,000+ different Protestant denominations/churches that currently exist around the world, each having their own preferred interpretations and beliefs. So, who are the real corrupt heretics leading people astray? I urge you to read what the Didache and Early Church Fathers say about the Mass and Eucharist, starting in 90 AD: www.therealpresence.org/eucharst/father/fathers.htm ALSO, in a short video, see what happens at Mass which only some saints and mystics had the privilege to see: th-cam.com/video/OOLZDaTgIaM/w-d-xo.html The Mass MAKES PRESENT to us THE SACRIFICE OF CALVARY IN TIME. If you're a non-Catholic, you are encouraged to research the Catholic Faith because ultimately THERE IS ONLY ONE REASON TO BE CATHOLIC and that's because it's true! PRAY for all those who have left the Catholic Church, that the Holy Spirit will guide them back home. God bless you.

Then you better throw out a few books in the New Testament if you take that literally. It's funny how Protestants use certain quotes in the Bible to justify and defend being Protestant; and, ignore other verses that contradict what they say.

YOU ARE AN EXAMPLE WHY CHRIST ESTABLISHED ONLY ON TRUE INFALLIBLE CHURCH, NOT 45,000 DIFFERENT FALLIBLE PROTESTANT DENOMINATIONS. YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO COME BACK TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. (A). I John 2:13-14, St. John refers to the leaders of the church in Ephesus to whom he is most likely writing as “fathers” twice. And notice he gives them the title “father.” "I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning…" NOTICE, he does not say they are “fathers” because they are married with children. They are “fathers,” spiritually speaking. And they are presumably “on the earth.” (B). In Acts 7:1-2, St. Stephen, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, calls both Abraham and the elders of Jerusalem “father” in the same breath: And the high priest said, “Is this so?” And Stephen said: “Brethren and fathers, hear me. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham…” (C). And in I Corinthians 4:14-15, St. Paul refers to himself as “father”: " I do not write this to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children. For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel." (D). "Honor your FATHER and your mother." GOD BLESS YOU and MAY THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDE YOU ON THE RIGHT PATH OF SALVATION.

@PInk77W1 *My corporate company has a list of leaders too. So? How does a list prove it's biblical? After all Bible does not have the office of bishop of bishops (pope). So?* Popes Jesus picked 1. St. Peter (32-67) 2. St. Linus (67-76)
@@iggyantioch *1. THis is of course based on self claims of Roman religion. There was never an unbroken line. Bible does not say PEter was pope. Neither bishop of rome. Neither bishop of bishops. Historians and scholars who had accessed to Vatican library discovered there were times with no pope, multiple popes and antipopes. 2. A line does not prove it's biblical. There is no office of bishop of bishops - pope , in the Bible. 3. Unanimously agree is a false claim. Early writers listed different people. The list varies.* you said Um broken line of succession from Christ to Peter. The early church unanimously affirms this both explicitly and implicitly. Read more
@@PInk77W1 Because the seat was vacant doesn't mean it was broken. You're confused. interregnum look it up . Doesn't mean what you want it to. Don't you think we know this. As far as multiple Popes Yes and one of them was legit two others were anti Popes they resigned At the time there were three claims to the Papacy. There was antipope John XXIII, antipope Benedict XIII, and Pope Gregory XII. The Council of Constance was called and at the council Pope Gregory XII resigned and antipope John XXIII also resigned so that the Church could elect a new universally recognized Pope. Antipope Benedict XIII refused to resign but by this point he had no support from any existing Cardinals. With 2 of the 3 claimants to the Papacy officially resigned, the Council then declared the antipope Benedict XIII excommunicated. The Council then elected Pope Martin V who was universally accepted by the Church. So the seat of Rome had others illegally claiming the papacy but no broken line. Nice try . The word Pope is not found in scripture scripture ? So what? I can show scripture verses that explicitly and implicitly support the view of the primacy of Peter Chief of the Apostles and acting in Divine authority given by Christ. Along with early Christian leaders agreeing with this beginning of the Royal Steward of the Papacy .
There is no biblical or historical document that shows that Peter himself saw himself as some special Pope. What we have in the Bible shows equality among Apostles. Paul even rebukes the GREAT Peter. No Apstole looks at Peter as some kind of chief among them. In fact, in Acts 8:14 we find they gather together and decide to send Peter and John to Samaria. If Peter was indeed someone special among them, the Bible would've mentioned it. Instead, Peter is just like the rest. Furthermore, we have the replacement of Juda, the traitor, an excellent opportunity to ask Peter to decide who should be next, if indeed he was special. But no, instead they all pray to God and God makes the choice. There is no Biblical support for Peter being assigned a role of leadership and even more, a kind of role that gets passed down from one to another. Second, to know the actual history of the Catholic Church, one should look at its actions in history, not this nonsense with this person assigned that person and so on. A list of leaders means nothing. Let's see the fruits. The fruits of the Catholic Church in early times could be associated with that of religious fascists, oppressing opposition, demanding everyone subscribe to their interpretation of things, and being that it was Rome, scaring everyone with Roman power. They used mafia tactics where you couldn't find priests putting their hands on someone to hurt them, but instead influenced the government to do it for them.
Wrong. The true church is the bride of Christ. You should try reading the Bible. It is the word of God and will save you out of the darkness of the Roman religion. It saved me and I was a very good Roman.
I will believe that the Roman Catholic church is the original church if you can establish that Jesus taught: Prayers to the dead Prayers for the dead Immaculate conception of Mary The sinlessness of Mary The office of priest Priests not to marry Limbo Purgatory The rosary Veneration of relics and icons Salvation is of works His death was not all sufficient and so God established purgatory Not to eat meats on certain days That he intended for his church to become a sovereign state, with an army, bank, and political corps That he taught to hold crusades and inquisition
397 I, your beloved Jesus, could never undermine My Own Church Monday, April 16th, 2012 @ 18:00 My dearly beloved daughter, I call out to all of God’s children and assure you that I, your beloved Jesus, could never undermine My Own Church. However, I will not stand back and watch My Church, by the hand of one particular sect, who has no right to play a role in the Holy See, to disintegrate. For that is precisely what the false prophet and the imposters who idolise Satan, are trying to do. They want to topple the Catholic Church and break it into little pieces. This, My children, is how Satan will stand in final rebellion against God, the Creator of all things. This wicked plan to destroy My Church has been underway for 100 years, but, since 1967, it has intensified. Many imposters, who are members of this evil sect, who worship Satan, entered the seminaries to gain a foothold in the Vatican. Their powers, while allowed by God the Father, were restricted up to now. As the end times draw nearer that will change. This evil sect will now unleash every power to ensure that they will elect a new replacement for My Holy Vicar, Pope Benedict XVI. All those who know My Teachings will see changes in the recital of the Holy Mass. New secular laws will be introduced which will be an affront to My death on the Cross. Many devout followers of Mine will see this and will feel hurt. Their views will be dismissed and many Sacraments will cease to be offered. This is why much preparation is needed. For those Catholic, who will be hurt and dismayed, please, remember that I Am here. Call out to Me, your beloved Jesus, and know that you must not be afraid to proclaim the Truth of My Teachings. You must not be afraid to turn your back on heresy. I will guide and protect you on your journey and you will be guided by the Power of the Holy Spirit. Your beloved Saviour Jesus Christ
1182 I never change. I never adapt to new ways, for I Am as I always Was and will Be. I Am Eternal Thursday, July 31st, 2014 @ 15:50 My dearly beloved daughter, every visionary, seer or prophet, who comes from Me, will soon face great trials, the likes of which they have never had to endure before. Many, who recognize their authenticity and who have been loyal to them, will turn their backs on them and they will be cast to one side, as the spirit of darkness envelops nation after nation, where love and charity will disappear. Man against man, country against country, man against God. These periods of upheaval will be distressing for many and your only source of comfort and strength will come from Me, but only if you seek Me out. I Am your Rock; the Rock which is impenetrable; the Rock which cannot crumble; the Rock which you will embrace when nothing solid will be in place in the houses which give shelter to My Spirit. Edifices, which have been built to honour Me, will come tumbling down. Some will be turned into other buildings, which will be used for other purposes, but not for honouring Me. I Am the Rock upon which the Church was built and I will remain in place for eternity. Many have come seeking Me out and I gave them Life. Others came, but could not find Me because their stubborn hearts were lacking in love and a generosity of spirit. And now, as everything I taught you will be challenged and the foundation upon which My Church was built be shaken, beyond your understanding, I will still remain in place. Solid as the Rock that I Am, and you will come to Me seeking solace, strength and courage. I will respond to each of you, by the pouring out of the great Graces, which have been reserved for you, for the times which lie ahead. I Am the Church. I Am Present in the Church. The building is made of stone, but I Am the Rock, upon which the foundation of My Church was built. I never change. I never adapt to new ways, for I Am as I always Was and will Be. I Am Eternal. My Church will remain standing, for I Am the Church, until the end of time. Your beloved Jesus
If the pope is correct and you are rong, you will pay big time. If you are correct the pope will pay. However the pope is Biblical and you are not. You call Jesus a liar. Too bad for you.
danielswartz. The pope is not biblical. U don't read your bible. Shame on u. I'm sure U think being a baptised Catholic will take u to heaven. Surely not. Trillions of Catholics will be in hell bc they don't read n obey bible. Bible says only born again believers can enter heaven. That's why all Catholics are destined for hell
So blessed not my parents nor myself were raised catholic❤ lets pray for our dear catholic brethren 😊
Mary is my sister in Jesus Christ my Savior. Only through Jesus are we safe. Thank U God for sending your Only son to save us.
Stand for the truth brother...I'm with you!
Yours is a tradition of men.
Good day! I'm been listening to videos from my friend regarding the Catholic Church! I'm speechless! 😢 it's sad, but through my years I've always felt the Lord calling me to leave the church. I'm a sinner, don't read the Bible, and so forth. If I give up my life to God and makes changes in my life, I wouldn't worry and just have lots of joy and happiness! Thank you for these videos, it's much appreciated!
Eve was tricked by the serpent too. Leave and no have no life within you according to Jesus.
Pastor MacArthur, thank you for having the courage to speak the Truth of the gospel. When the Philippian jailor asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" St. Paul answered, "Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." Amen.
Thank you John MacArthur for standing firm on what is right and true! This is so very very well said. Grateful for your preaching and teaching truth. Thank you Jesus for loving me! All to God be the Glory for ever and ever. Amen! Amen!
I was once transfixed by the illusion of historicity, the (false) claims of being "the church Jesus founded!" and the beauty of ecclesiastical architecture in the Roman Church. But there is no point of wonderful buildings and pretty liturgy when the theology is ultimately, categorically incorrect. True beauty is of the Lord, not mere vain craftsmanship from the hands of men. After regularly going to mass, reading Roman interpretations of the scriptures, studying church history deeply, reading the "church fathers" and completing the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) I left to join a fantastic Christian Church and have not looked back.
The tragedy is that there are sincere people seeking Jesus who are going through those processes, yet who are being sorely decieved about the nature of their salvation, the ordinances, and of authority. Praying for all brothers and sisters sincerely seeking the Lord.
Well, I just wonder what branch of the 30K variations you belong to now? Calvinism, Mormonism, or just simply the Snake Handlers! 🤔
How humble you are to declare that the church which Jesus promised he would be with forever is categorically incorrect. I'll bet he wished he had contacted you in advance so he wouldn't have made so many mistakes. I wonder if he evens considers saving those who blatantly reject him.
His argument is as absurd as his reference to "The illusion of historicity" which is an oxymoron, historical facts are not an illusion but the false gospel which he's been hoodwinked into following (Protestant dispensationalism, "Word of faith heresy, Scoffield Zionism or one of the many bible swinging swaggering modernist pastors like John Hagee, Kenneth Copeland or Creflo Dollar) He remains in denial of how the Catholic Church, despite its flaws, has been used by Christ to carry out the Great Commission from the days of the Apostles right through Luther's reformation 15 Centuries later as well as to be the protector of Christian civilization against the invasion of Ottoman Turks, standing as a sentinel and guardian of the faith throughout Europe and the Americas, promoting Christian virtue via its schools and universities until (Sadly) WWII when half of Christian Europe was handed over to the communists and the cultural revolution (Led by these same Marxist agents) starting in the late '60's which has now infiltrated the church and corrupted it ✝

I recall that neither Jesus nor Paul were married. "And yet they'll tell you how to be married as if they are experts."
@@bridgefin I would recall that Paul was under the direction of the Holy Spirit when he wrote scripture. Did you forget about that? Or is this another doctrine you deny?

I wasn't talking about Paul's writing. The swiss guy made a derogatory comment about unmarried men running a church and the fact that both Jesus and Paul were unmarried running a church should have taken the wind out of the swiss guy's sails. But apparently, the obvious is not enough for you.
I was raised catholic until God saved me and led me to his truth of the gospel.
Do you still use the Bible she compiled and preserved for you or did you make your own yet…
If you dont trust the Catholic Church then how do you know she choose the correct books to begin with…
History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved it by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
Appreciate the reply.
However the "she" doesn't decide anything. The laity, regular attendees are the "She", and they decide nothing.
Catholic hierarchy write church doctrine. Namely,...the Pope, etc.
The Catholic hierarchy didn't give the world the bible we know of today. That's a fact.
If the Pope was truly the vicar of Christ on earth, a true successor to Peter, the new testament books would have been canonized centuries before.
As the two major denominations grew in size with many outliers on the fringe being brought into the fold. The books used in those denomination had to remain consistent. The books used by both Churches had been already established within those institutions. We can not maintain fellowship with differing regions of newly joined churches who's doctrines had been derived by spurious books that alter other sound doctrines.
And what of the apocrypha? The books the church hierarchy now view as inspired?
They weren't deemed inspired until the sixteenth century. What happened to the guidance from the Holy Spirit or the Pope in that regard? Why not canonize the apocrypha then at Nicaea? The fact is, Later in time, the Catholic hierarchy determined to use those books in order to support a case for many of its doctrines as other denominations have done since. And some take it further by using spurious books such as the Gospel of Thomas and Peter. It depends on what you want your parishioners to believe.
I appreciate your comment though your view requires a little less bias.
Praise the Lord for his word. Peace.
@@Straight8S sorry i dont follow. “...the new testament books would have been canonized centuries before” implies it was canonized afterwards. When? By who? Please explain and clear up ALL historical evidence to the contrary…
"implies it was canonized afterwards." They were, at Nicaea around 425 ad. By an earlier Pope or council. This was done to bring all catholic churches on board along with the eastern churches to agree upon a single collection of writing. Too many churches even within their own assemblies using writings that were not inspired. Why wait four hundred years though? And then what about the Apocrypha?
There is no controversy. If one exists it lies with the Catholic Church posturing a convenient retelling of history., imo,
@@Straight8S 👍🏻 Nicaea was 325 and the canon was established well AFTER that at the council of Rome 382 which is what i implied above…
The question is, what would Jesus think of the roman catholic church as it is today? I'm thinking he wouldn't like it one bit.

@@srich7503 - Your "Catholic" facts are contradicted by scripture:
1 Cor. 4:6, “Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to exceed what is written, in order that no one of you might become arrogant in behalf of one against the other.”
What was written? Scripture? The Old Testament, which is the Scripture to which Christ and the apostles appealed, was available to them. Oh, how could they have that since the Catholic church had not given them a Bible? John 21:25,
"Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written." Books? Books? What books John? The Christian church, as an earthly organization, recognized the Word of God (John 10:27). They didn’t give us the Word of God. The authenticity of the New Testament documents, of which there are many, rests in the inspiration of God through the apostles - not the Catholic Church.

Christ's Sacrifice Once for All
10 For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near. 2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? 3 But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Consequently, when Christ[a] came into the world, he said,
“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
but a body have you prepared for me;
6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings
you have taken no pleasure.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,
as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’”
8 When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9 then he added, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. 10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when Christ[b] had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. 14 For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.
15 And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,
16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws on their hearts,
and write them on their minds,”
17 then he adds,
“I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”
18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

I was raised a catholic, until…I actually seriously started to read the Bible. We can read in Scriptures that Lord Jesus commanded the Apostles to first preach the Gospel to the Jews, and after also to the Heathen or Gentiles (but never vise versa ! ). I found out in Scriptures who of the Apostles for the first time went to Rome .. and it wasn't Peter. In the Book of Acts it says in Chapter 28 the following: 16 "And when we came to Rome, the Centurion delivered the Prisoners to the Captain of the Guard: but Paul was allowed to live in a house, by himself, with a Roman Soldier that kept him. 17 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the Chief of the there living Jews together: and when they came together, Paul said to them: "Men and Brethren, though I have committed nothing against our people, our customs, or against our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans 18 who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of guild in me. 19 But when the Jews spoke against that verdict, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had made any accusations against my Nation. 20 For this Hope (the Gospel of Jesus Christ) therefore I have called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because for the Hope of Israel I am bound with these chains. 21 The Chief of the Jews said to Paul: "We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning you, neither any of the Brethren that came from there shewed or spoke any harm of you. 22 But we desire to hear of you what you think: for concerning this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere". The Roman catholic church claims that it was Peter who went to Rome first to preach the Gospel there first and that it was Peter who founded the Church there. Question: who lies? God,... or the Roman catholic church ? And what about the Letter in the Bible from Paul to the Congregation of Galatians where it says this in Chapter 2? From verse 7 we read the following: 7 "But on the contrary, when they saw that the Gospel of the Uncircumcision (Gentiles) was committed unto me, as the Gospel of the Circumcision (Jews) was unto Peter; 8 for He that gave Peter power effectively to the Apostleship of the circumcision (again: the Jews), the Same was Mighty in me toward the Gentiles. 9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the Grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we (that are Paul and Barnabas) should go unto the Heathen, and they unto the Circumcision. Again dear catholics: who lies? God’s Word, or the Roman catholic church? Bible, the book of Acts, Chapter 5, verse 29 : Then Peter and the other Apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey GOD - rather than man” !!
Since the Roman catholic 'church' claims to be well-read on scriptures, then please point me in the direction of where in the Bible it says to pray to a woman, or with a rosary praising Mary, or to dead “saints.” Lord Jesus calls every believer Saints which all are who received the Holy Spirit and confess that Jesus is Lord - so Rome has no authority appointing only some people saint - that is ludicrous. Please show me the name ‘pope’ in the Bible? Please show me where it says to call any mortal sinful man (the pope) your father. Please show me where the Bible says anything about purgatory, or paying indulgences (buying yourself into heaven - is God corrupt ?). Please show me where Mary was sinless? Why is it that Catholics worship Mary still as a virgin when Lord Jesus had half brothers and half sisters? Please show me where it says to confess your sins to a fellow sinful man so that he may forgive them? Where does the Bible say the pope is the “vicar of Christ” on earth? Show me where it says that a preacher must be unmarried? It was the pagan ROMAN Emperor Constantine who was in fact the first “pope” who hijacked the first Christian Communion in Rome founded by the apostle Paul, and he didn't allow for the common people to have Bible Scriptures...to keep believers ignorant to stay in power, as the Catholic Church still tries to do. Later pope’s started the ‘inquisition’ because the book printing machine was invented and people like Martin Luther and William Tyndale could spread the Bible to the common people: they were persecuted and many of them burned to dead for that by decree of Rome, and so were hundreds others who did the same as they denounced the FALSE doctrines of Rome. Rome called them heretics and witches while they murdered Christians who loved Jesus and true Scriptures. PLEASE GET OUT OF THIS FALSE CHURCH !!! The Roman catholic “church” is a continuation of the old Roman PAGAN Empire: it never went away as it disguised itself as a Christian Church. Read Revelation, Chapter 17: verse 7, 8 and 9…Read also Revelation 18 to see what God will do to this “church.”

Protestants Do NOT Believe in Bible Alone (Sola Scriptura). If this is true, then Protestants should believe everything that is in the Bible, but do they? Indeed, they do not. will prove this with the Bible. (In the Bible No1. Christ says this is My Body This is My Blood. John 6:54-57: Protestants say NO! It is not His Body or Blood.) No2. (John 20:21-23: confess to one another, Protestants say NO! Do not confess your sins to another human.) No3. (In the Bible, it teaches that Christ founded a Catholic Church Matthew 16:18-19: So Protestants say NO! That Church is not the True Church; it is not Christian and it is the whore of Babylon.) No4. The Bible says you are NOT saved by faith alone. Let's read James 2:24: “See how a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.” Protestants say NO! You are justified by Faith Alone.)

JOHN WYCLIFF!
WILL THIS BE DELETED?
John Wycliffe, a pre-Lutheran reformer, believed in the Virgin Mary's help in obtaining the reward of Heaven. He said, "It seems to me impossible that we should obtain the reward of Heaven without the help of Mary". Wycliffe also upheld the idea of Mary's perpetual virginity, along with other Protestant leaders like Martin Luther, Huldrych Zwingli, Thomas Cranmer, Wollebius, and Bullinger

The Battle of Lepanto and the Holy Rosary
Christian sailors joined Pope Pius V (a Dominican) in praying the Most Holy Rosary, and defeated a much larger Turkish force at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. The battle was a turning point in repelling the Turkish invasions of Europe. To remember the battle and Our Lady's intercession, the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary (originally Our Lady of Victory) was established on October 7th.

I cannot abide a belief that says Christians will go to Hell because they don't properly understand scripture and faith. If you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you're good to go, as long as you practice being Christ-like. If you do this, you are DEFINITELY good to go.
Well what does Yehoshua HIMSELF SAY say he was not a Christian or a Catholic. Do you not like his words regarding the Torah? Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law [TORAH] or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to FULLY PREACH (Greek: pleroo) them. Mat 5:18 For truly, I say to you, until shamayim (pw heaven) and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law [TORAH]until all is accomplished. Mat 5:19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven), but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of shamayim. Mat 5:20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven).

WCC of churches website answer to "Is the Roman Catholic Church a member?"
: "No, although there is no constitutional reason why the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) could not join; in fact it has never applied. The RCC's self-understanding has been one reason why it has not joined. The WCC has close links with the RCC, highlighted by the 2018 visit of Pope Francis to the WCC to reaffirm the ecumenical endeavour. Since 1965, the WCC/RCC joint working group meets annually. The WCC commissions on Faith and Order as well as on World Mission and Evangelism include Roman Catholics who are members with full voting rights. Sponsored by the Vatican, a Roman Catholic professor is part of the faculty at the Ecumenical Institute Bossey. For more information, see Roman Catholic Church.
For more than 50 years, the member churches of the WCC and the Roman Catholic Church have jointly fostered unity, theological reflection, and solidarity in service.
The Roman Catholic Church is the largest, by far, among those churches that are not members of the WCC. Cooperation between the Roman Catholic Church and the WCC continues to grow across all aspects of the WCC’s work for a common Christian witness and service, especially following the visit of Pope Francis to the WCC in June 2018. The Joint Working Group, co-sponsored by the WCC and the Roman Catholic Church, is an effective tool to strengthen this cooperation.
Created in 1965, immediately following the Second Vatican Council, the group brings together its 20 members annually; an executive group meets twice in between. The group’s two co-secretaries - one from the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and one representing the WCC - help to coordinate contact between the WCC and the departments (or dicasteries) of the Vatican.
The WCC also has close ties and working relationships with evangelical and Pentecostal churches, historically less represented in the WCC fellowship." ref WCC WEBSITE.
**********************************
More info from other sources:
"The World Council of Churches includes at least 293 member denominations and is a major force and voice of what is commonly called ecumenism. While the original goal of the ecumenical movement and the World Council of Churches was "the unity of the churches", the new vision of the World Council of Churches is for the unity of all religions and of all mankind. The World Council of Churches frequently speaks out against capitalism, but is silent about the countless atrocities committed over the decades by communist dictatorships. According to one website that informs the public on the World Council of Churches, "Though denying charges of pro-communism, the World Council of Churches track record is a long and consistent testimony to the fact that they are one of communism's strongest and best allies."
The WCC and its branch organizations are indeed involved in bringing about this "explosive political revolution" in countries which are not following their plan for a One World Church and a New World Order. The following are just a few examples of this.
The WCC gave $85,000 to an African Nationalist terrorist group--PATRIOTIC FRONT--who were waging guerilla warfare in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe in 1978 (see Seattle Times, August 25, 1981). These terrorists killed over 1900 people, including eight British missionaries and their four children in Rhodesia that year (see Reader's Digest, August, 1982). In 1974 the WCC gave 6,355 British pounds to members of the terrorist organization--ZANU--in Africa, which are responsible for killing 87 Rhodesian civilians (see WCC: Religion or Revolution, p 13). Also in 1974, the WCC gave 50,000 British pounds to another Marxist guerilla force--FRELIMO (see Ibid., p 13).
After the Rhodesian government fell to these terrorist groups, this statement was then given by their representatives at the WCC Conference in Melbourne, Australia in May, 1980:
"Our hard-won victory did not come only through our own determination. We were sustained and reinforced by the support--material, moral, and spiritual--accorded to us by the World Council of Churches, and its member churches." American Opinion, January, 1982, p 4.
The WCC also gave funds to the Communist North Vietnamese government (see WCC: Religion or Revolution, p 16), the PLO, Cuba, and other pro-Soviet totalitarian movements (see Reader's Digest, January, 1983, p 120). They also gave $823,000 to the Communist backed organization--SWAPO--in Namibia (see WCC: Religion or Revolution, p 28; American Opinion, January, 1982, p 2).
"The obvious question arises: From where does the money come [for WCC financing]? The answer is: It comes from you. It comes from you if you put money on the collection plate of a church that is part of a denomination which belongs to the National Council of Churches. The money goes from your church to your denomination, to the National Council, to the World Council." American Opinion, January, 1982, p 12.

Christianity is Catholicism (or Eastern Orthodoxy).
One of the great temptations when it comes to religion is to level the playing field and approach each religion on equal ground. We have been taught the need to "coexist" with other mainline religions for many years. In recent years, there has been an increasing trend to approach Roman Catholicism as if it's another
denominational group within orthodox
Christianity. That is simply not the case. Catholicism is a different religion all together. To put it plainly, Roman Catholicism is a heretical religion that preaches a different gospel than the gospel of Jesus Christ. I do not mean to offend anyone but the simple truth is Roman Catholics are not Christians and should not be approached as brothers and sisters in Christ.
We must not embrace Roman
Catholics as Christians on the basis of their official teachings. The RCC teaches a different Gospel and a different Jesus which is not the same Christ taught in the New Testament.
@TerryF-ht4qf Chances are, the so-called church you attend is nothing like the Church Jesus established with the apostles, as described in the book of Acts - the Church that even Paul was under the authority of.
In other words, if your church isn't Catholic or Eastern Orthodox, you're in a fake church, practising fake Christianity.

We have never worshiped any but the ONLY one true God as revealed in the Scriptures. You never saw worship of those others in a Catholic Church.
No such thing as the Catholic Church in Christ's day. The followers of Jesus were called Christians by the Romans.
Here we have ANOTHER SELF-APPOINTED EXPERT on Holy Scripture, the INSPIRED WORD OF GOD, quoting and interpreting out of context and misleading people.
If you ridicule, criticize, and don't trust the Catholic (Universal) Church on what it believes and teaches, why would you trust the Catholic Church to provide you with the Bible, that She compiled and finalized, (under the guidance of the Holy Spirit), the one book you revere so much, on which you're basing your entire religion off of? And then, to have the gall to conveniently remove 7 of its inspired books and changing words (by Luther) in order to justify personal beliefs and interpretations. That is UNBIBLICAL! A Christian cannot have an absolute assurance of which books belong in the Bible WITHOUT ACCEPTING THE AUTHORITY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
The earliest document we have in which “Catholic” is used to label Christ’s Church is found in a letter from the Apostolic Father St. Ignatius, ordained Bishop of Antioch, a direct disciple of St. John the Apostle, who wrote around A.D. 107, while being taken to Rome for execution, quote: “WHEREVER THE BISHOP APPEARS, THERE LET THE PEOPLE BE; AS WHEREVER JESUS CHRIST IS, THERE IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.”
The Church Christ established had existed for over 350 years without a finalized Bible. It wasn't until the year 382 that the Magisterium at the Council of Rome, during the reign of Pope Damasus-I, that we got the canon of scripture, JUST AS THE CHURCH HAS IT TODAY: 46 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament. This proves that unwritten SACRED TRADITION IS JUST AS VALID A SOURCE OF REVELATION AS THE BIBLE.
The biblical canon was reaffirmed by the regional councils of Hippo (393) and Carthage (397), and then definitively reaffirmed by the ecumenical Council of Florence in 1442.Finally, the ecumenical Council of Trent solemnly defined this same canon in 1546, after it came under attack by the first Protestant leaders, including Martin Luther.
Scripture tells us in (1 Tim 3:15) that “THE CHURCH IS THE PILLAR AND FOUNDATION OF THE TRUTH”. Jesus established His One True Church giving HER AUTHORITY, starting with the Apostles, (also under the guidance of the Holy Spirit) to MAINTAIN UNITY, to ORDAIN His ministers and successors (Priests and Bishops), to PRESERVE the DEPOSIT of FAITH and PREVENT ERROR, to TEACH His TRUTH, to INTERPRET Holy Scripture, and to DISTRIBUTE HIS GRACE by way of the Seven Sacraments, including the Holy Eucharist in the Mass, the primary means Christ showed His Apostles at the FIRST MASS, (the Last Supper), how we are to worship God and have communion with Him.
Faith tells us that Jesus is God and WHAT GOD SAYS, IS. As foretold in John 6:51-58: “My Flesh is true food..my Blood is true drink”, ETC.. Of the bread: “Take, eat; this is my body to be given up for you”; and, of the cup, “Drink of it, all of you; for this is my blood of THE NEW COVENANT, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins” (Matt. 26:26-28). Saying: “Do this in memory of me”. (See 1 Cor.10-16).
Jesus prayed for unity among His followers (John 17:21) and PROMISED that HIS CHURCH WOULD EXIST UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD, (Mat. 16:18); undoubtedly, beyond the Protestant Revolution, and STILL EXISTS TODAY. Protestants are, without fault of their own, calling Jesus a liar by not accepting that fact; thus, they mock everything that His One Universal Church is and does. To mock the Catholic Church is to mock Christ.
Common sense alone should tell you why JESUS ESTABLISHED a ONE TRUE UNIVERSAL CHURCH; just look at the 35,000+ different Protestant denominations/churches that currently exist around the world, each having their own preferred interpretations and beliefs. So, who are the real corrupt heretics leading people astray? I urge you to read what the Didache and Early Church Fathers say about the Mass and Eucharist, starting in 90 AD: www.therealpresence.org/eucharst/father/fathers.htm
ALSO, in a short video, see what happens at Mass which only some saints and mystics had the privilege to see: th-cam.com/video/OOLZDaTgIaM/w-d-xo.html The Mass MAKES PRESENT to us THE SACRIFICE OF CALVARY IN TIME.
If you're a non-Catholic, you are encouraged to research the Catholic Faith because ultimately THERE IS ONLY ONE REASON TO BE CATHOLIC and that's because it's true!
PRAY for all those who have left the Catholic Church, that the Holy Spirit will guide them back home.
God bless you.

NOTICE, he does not say they are “fathers” because they are married with children. They are “fathers,” spiritually speaking. And they are presumably “on the earth.”
(B). In Acts 7:1-2, St. Stephen, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, calls both Abraham and the elders of Jerusalem “father” in the same breath:
And the high priest said, “Is this so?” And Stephen said: “Brethren and fathers, hear me. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham…”
(C). And in I Corinthians 4:14-15, St. Paul refers to himself as “father”:
" I do not write this to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children. For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel."
(D). "Honor your FATHER and your mother."
GOD BLESS YOU and MAY THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDE YOU ON THE RIGHT PATH OF SALVATION.
Catholic here..........We are SAVED. Jesus gave us the Catholic Church. Who gave you the authority to preached the Bible?. Show a Bible verse, please.
Jesus gave you the church of murder? Sexual deviance by those men you call pipes that speak for GOD? The Inquisitions of torturing & killing those who refused the pope? On & on & on & on right up to a very large majority of the RCC clergy being homosexual & the acts of pedifilia. This is from Jesus? You gonna stick with that story or do what the RCC has always done, hide it, send Jesuit out to murder me to shut me up or construct another doctrine of demons to justify all those acts? You have no credibility don't even try
Jesus did no such thing. Catholic Church did not emerge til 600 years later. You add to and pervert the Scripture. That is heresy and condemns all who follow. The Bible says only Jesus is needed as mediator not a sinner human who amounts himself Pope. How do you explain the Borgia’s if Pope’s are perfect? How do you explain the Bishol’s oath of loyalty to the Pope not God????
Wake up brother before it’s too late. .
@@YSBAJDPN : Yes He did.
Matthew 16:18-19
New Catholic Bible
18 And I say to you: *You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church,* and the gates of the netherworld will not prevail against it.
19 *I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”*
-----Jesus founded ONE Church and that is the Catholic Church. Gave Peter the keys (authority) to govern His Church.
-----And the Bible is a PROPERTY of the Catholic Church too. It did not fall from heaven and landed infront of King James front door. It came from the Catholic Church.
(How do you explain the Borgia’s if Pope’s are perfect?)
------You mean the infallibility of the Pope when he speaks in matters of faith and Moral?. If you believed the Bible is infallible then you accepted the infallibility of the authority of Pope Damasus I that decreed the Canonization of the Bible.
If Jesus Christ had anything to do with this Church then Why did the Pope's whom you claim speak for GOD go off in deep sexual immorality, shall we look into that? Now, if Jesus was in on the church then we're all those murders justified as the Pope sent his armiesvto torture & murder believers that were before the RCC and spread around the world. Oh those faithful holy inquisitions of so much murder. The selling of indulgences from the RCC. GOD was in that? The karge percentage of homosexual clergy, GOD is in that & the pedifilia that still goes on today. Be real, we all know who is really in on this, the RCC is the seat of the antichrist that you have a part in as a tolerant look the other way participant in this demonic church

Um broken line of succession from Christ to Peter. The early church unanimously affirms this both explicitly and implicitly. Read more
@@iggyantioch *1. THis is of course based on self claims of Roman religion. There was never an unbroken line. Bible does not say PEter was pope. Neither bishop of rome. Neither bishop of bishops. Historians and scholars who had accessed to Vatican library discovered there were times with no pope, multiple popes and antipopes. 2. A line does not prove it's biblical. There is no office of bishop of bishops - pope , in the Bible. 3. Unanimously agree is a false claim. Early writers listed different people. The list varies.*

@@PInk77W1
Because the seat was vacant doesn't mean it was broken. You're confused.
interregnum look it up . Doesn't mean what you want it to. Don't you think we know this. As far as multiple Popes
Yes and one of them was legit two others were anti Popes they resigned
At the time there were three claims to the Papacy. There was antipope John XXIII, antipope Benedict XIII, and Pope Gregory XII. The Council of Constance was called and at the council Pope Gregory XII resigned and antipope John XXIII also resigned so that the Church could elect a new universally recognized Pope. Antipope Benedict XIII refused to resign but by this point he had no support from any existing Cardinals. With 2 of the 3 claimants to the Papacy officially resigned, the Council then declared the antipope Benedict XIII excommunicated. The Council then elected Pope Martin V who was universally accepted by the Church.
So the seat of Rome had others illegally claiming the papacy but no broken line. Nice try .
The word Pope is not found in scripture scripture ? So what? I can show scripture verses that explicitly and implicitly support the view of the primacy of
Peter Chief of the Apostles and acting in Divine authority given by Christ.
Along with early Christian leaders agreeing with this beginning of the Royal Steward of the Papacy .
There is no biblical or historical document that shows that Peter himself saw himself as some special Pope. What we have in the Bible shows equality among Apostles. Paul even rebukes the GREAT Peter. No Apstole looks at Peter as some kind of chief among them. In fact, in Acts 8:14 we find they gather together and decide to send Peter and John to Samaria. If Peter was indeed someone special among them, the Bible would've mentioned it. Instead, Peter is just like the rest. Furthermore, we have the replacement of Juda, the traitor, an excellent opportunity to ask Peter to decide who should be next, if indeed he was special. But no, instead they all pray to God and God makes the choice. There is no Biblical support for Peter being assigned a role of leadership and even more, a kind of role that gets passed down from one to another.
Second, to know the actual history of the Catholic Church, one should look at its actions in history, not this nonsense with this person assigned that person and so on. A list of leaders means nothing. Let's see the fruits. The fruits of the Catholic Church in early times could be associated with that of religious fascists, oppressing opposition, demanding everyone subscribe to their interpretation of things, and being that it was Rome, scaring everyone with Roman power. They used mafia tactics where you couldn't find priests putting their hands on someone to hurt them, but instead influenced the government to do it for them.
I'm still Catholic, which is the true Church, that was established by Jesus himself including the 12 apostles . PERIOD!
Wrong. The true church is the bride of Christ. You should try reading the Bible. It is the word of God and will save you out of the darkness of the Roman religion. It saved me and I was a very good Roman.
I will believe that the Roman Catholic church is the original church if you can establish that Jesus taught:
Prayers to the dead
Prayers for the dead
Immaculate conception of Mary
The sinlessness of Mary
The office of priest
Priests not to marry
Limbo
Purgatory
The rosary
Veneration of relics and icons
Salvation is of works
His death was not all sufficient and so God established purgatory
Not to eat meats on certain days
That he intended for his church to become a sovereign state, with an army, bank, and political corps
That he taught to hold crusades and inquisition

I, your beloved Jesus, could never undermine My Own Church
Monday, April 16th, 2012 @ 18:00
My dearly beloved daughter, I call out to all of God’s children and assure you that I, your beloved Jesus, could never undermine My Own Church.
However, I will not stand back and watch My Church, by the hand of one particular sect, who has no right to play a role in the Holy See, to disintegrate.
For that is precisely what the false prophet and the imposters who idolise Satan, are trying to do. They want to topple the Catholic Church and break it into little pieces.
This, My children, is how Satan will stand in final rebellion against God, the Creator of all things.
This wicked plan to destroy My Church has been underway for 100 years, but, since 1967, it has intensified.
Many imposters, who are members of this evil sect, who worship Satan, entered the seminaries to gain a foothold in the Vatican.
Their powers, while allowed by God the Father, were restricted up to now. As the end times draw nearer that will change.
This evil sect will now unleash every power to ensure that they will elect a new replacement for My Holy Vicar, Pope Benedict XVI.
All those who know My Teachings will see changes in the recital of the Holy Mass.
New secular laws will be introduced which will be an affront to My death on the Cross.
Many devout followers of Mine will see this and will feel hurt. Their views will be dismissed and many Sacraments will cease to be offered.
This is why much preparation is needed.
For those Catholic, who will be hurt and dismayed, please, remember that I Am here.
Call out to Me, your beloved Jesus, and know that you must not be afraid to proclaim the Truth of My Teachings.
You must not be afraid to turn your back on heresy.
I will guide and protect you on your journey and you will be guided by the Power of the Holy Spirit.
Your beloved Saviour
Jesus Christ

I never change. I never adapt to new ways, for I Am as I always Was and will Be. I Am Eternal
Thursday, July 31st, 2014 @ 15:50
My dearly beloved daughter, every visionary, seer or prophet, who comes from Me, will soon face great trials, the likes of which they have never had to endure before. Many, who recognize their authenticity and who have been loyal to them, will turn their backs on them and they will be cast to one side, as the spirit of darkness envelops nation after nation, where love and charity will disappear. Man against man, country against country, man against God.
These periods of upheaval will be distressing for many and your only source of comfort and strength will come from Me, but only if you seek Me out. I Am your Rock; the Rock which is impenetrable; the Rock which cannot crumble; the Rock which you will embrace when nothing solid will be in place in the houses which give shelter to My Spirit. Edifices, which have been built to honour Me, will come tumbling down. Some will be turned into other buildings, which will be used for other purposes, but not for honouring Me.
I Am the Rock upon which the Church was built and I will remain in place for eternity. Many have come seeking Me out and I gave them Life. Others came, but could not find Me because their stubborn hearts were lacking in love and a generosity of spirit. And now, as everything I taught you will be challenged and the foundation upon which My Church was built be shaken, beyond your understanding, I will still remain in place. Solid as the Rock that I Am, and you will come to Me seeking solace, strength and courage. I will respond to each of you, by the pouring out of the great Graces, which have been reserved for you, for the times which lie ahead. I Am the Church. I Am Present in the Church. The building is made of stone, but I Am the Rock, upon which the foundation of My Church was built. I never change. I never adapt to new ways, for I Am as I always Was and will Be. I Am Eternal.
My Church will remain standing, for I Am the Church, until the end of time.
Your beloved Jesus
@Breas-pt7vi wrong / 30ad
If the pope is correct and you are rong, you will pay big time. If you are correct the pope will pay. However the pope is Biblical and you are not. You call Jesus a liar. Too bad for you.
No, the pope is the son of the devil.
danielswartz. The pope is not biblical. U don't read your bible. Shame on u. I'm sure U think being a baptised Catholic will take u to heaven. Surely not. Trillions of Catholics will be in hell bc they don't read n obey bible. Bible says only born again believers can enter heaven. That's why all Catholics are destined for hell
There are many popes - priest and nuns in Hell right now !
