They have convinced us to worship Christ on the Cross... where Christ is no longer on the cross.... he has risen.... that's what we need to pay attention to
HI 👋 TRUTH SPEAKS AND YES EXACTLY. FOR HE IS RISEN. SATAN KEPT HIM ON THE CROSS FOR YEARS. GOOD TO SEE A REAL FAMILY MEMBER WELCOME TO THE KINGDOM 👑THE KINGDOM 👑OF GOD 🎚.
How ridiculous. Every Catholic knows that Christ has risen. When you see a cross without Jesus on it, do you forget he was crucified? Of course not. Catholics simply follow scripture and preach a crucified Christ.
I grew up Catholic. Taught catechism classes for several years. Left the religion in my 30’s, became a Christian and this is the first I’ve heard this teaching on Lent. Thank you Jesus that He is still revealing His grace and mercy and the blessing of hearing this sermon!

The best Bibles are the - Red Letter Bibles - so named because they have the words of Jesus printed in Red. Why Red ? Because Red is the colour associated with Danger. Therefore to ignore Jesus' words will cause danger to one's salvation. For Jesus was - Sent - by The Father to teach us the way, truth and life to Heaven and thus bears the authority as well as the heart and mind of God for our salvation. And Jesus has been assigned - ALL - judgement = John 5:22, so will obviously judge us by His words and actions. The 4 Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, record Jesus' messages that speak of Tough Love - If you love Me, keep My commandments - and - If you wish to be My disciple, take up your Cross daily, deny yourself and follow Me - and - More - is expected of Christians to whom much has been entrusted - Luke 12:48. , Moreover, on the very day of His resurrection from the dead, Jesus - empowered His Apostles to forgive sins - or - retain them - John 20:22-23. Previously, Jesus commanded us to - Eat My Flesh, Drink My Blood - for - Eternal Life = John 6:53-58. And, Jesus' Parables are often prefaced with - the kingdom of Heaven - or - the Reign of God - and require us to multiply our talents, become more fruitful " soil " as well as become wise virgins carrying oil
Sadly, Protestants have ignored Jesus' tough Love messages, and instead have " cherry-picked " some of the passages from other than the 4 Gospels, thus jeopardizing their salvation.
Is the Bible the only source of Christian belief ?? The Bible is, historically, a dated book as it records only to the 1st Century. Thus we read only the deaths of Judas and James but not about the other 10 Apostles or of Paul as to when, where and how they died. Does it mean that, because their deaths are not recorded, that they are still alive ?? Obviously not. Paul declares the Bible - useful and profitable - in 2 Timothy 3:16, but that the Church is the Bulwark and Pillar of Truth - 1 Timothy 3:15. That is because the Church, the community of Believers, came first - Matthew 16:18 - and incorporates both the written word as well as the oral tradition - 2 Thessalonians 2:15. And the Bible declares that Jesus did a world of works - John 21:25. As a result 2 traditions ensued - oral and written - 2 Thess. 2:15 - which are of equal merit. By "Sola Scriptura" Protestants are only receiving part of Divine Truth thus resulting in so many denominations. The Catholic Church was founded on Peter's declaration of Jesus' Divinity - Matt. 16:16 and holds to both traditions. It is the Church of the Living God and the Pillar and Bulwark of Truth - 1 Timothy 3:15 . Plus it has Jesus' guarantee - Matthew 16:18 - I will build my= Church; = and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it
Why does the Catholic Church follow non-Biblical traditions ?? For the better part of 2 to 3 Centuries after Christ's Ascension, there was - NO - Bible as we know it Let's look at some historical facts. Christ died between 30 and 40 AD. The earliest Gospels, Matthew and Mark, were written after 70 AD. The last book of the Bible, Revelation, was written by John within the last 2 decades of the 1st Century. Pauls' missionary journeys were around 48 to 60 AD. The greater part of the NT -Muratorian Canon - was probably compiled in 180 AD, whereas the Bible as we know it, was compiled much later. This means that, for the most part of the first 2 to 3 centuries after Christ's Ascension, there was no complete Bible, and as a result the Oral Tradition was the guiding force of the early Christians. Moreover, before Guttenberg invented the Printing Press in the 15th C, the Bible was laboriously copied by hand by - Catholic - clergy and monks. It wasn't done by the rich who had other preoccupations, nor by the poor who did not possess the learning - nor by Protestants or other non-Catholics. Also, Catholic St. Jerome, who who lived in the 4th Century, was the first to translate the then existing Greek and Hebrew versions into Latin - the common language of the day- called the Vulgate Bible.. Thus it was Catholics and Catholicism that produced the Bible The Catholic Church was founded on Peter's declaration of Jesus' Divinity - Matt. 16:16 and Jesus' promise - Matt 16:17-19- and holds to both traditions. It is the Church of the Living God and the Pillar and Bulwark of Truth - 1 Timothy 3:15 . Plus it has Jesus' guarantee - Matthew 16:18 - I will build my= Church; = and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it
As a cradle catholic, educated by them thru high school, I always wondered why the beads candles and indulgences, long robes and rituals were such a part of my church. I have long been away from it once I read Gods Word and tossed out man’s word. Thank you for sharing this!
Letting Scripture Speak My friend in Christ, I know Catholicism backwards and forwards. But their gospel of salvation is completely wrong. It is awful to think that Christ didn’t pay for all of our sins, and that somehow humans must purge their own, too. When I heard a priest recently tell me he “hoped” that he was going to heaven, I was not only shocked, I was saddened by the fact he had been told things in error. If you place works and grace alongside each other, one invalidates the other. Grace is never merited. I also have investigated extensively the early church history, and have learned facts Catholics either don’t want to know or just prefer to believe the magisterium. I came to a profound realization that belonging to any particular church does not “save” you as I was taught growing up. Paul warned us in the first few years after Christ’s sacrifice that we should not follow certain men like Apollo or Ceohas(Peter) or even himself. It is Jesus Christ our only mediator who has saved me completely. (1 Tim 2:5). Praying to any other non deity created human being who has died in order to provide any mediation or intervention, therefore, is idolatry at best.
Letting Scripture Speak What do the sacraments give? What are indulgences? What was or is the scapular? Why pray to created human beings who have died for anything when Christ is our only Mediator? It is about the truth of God’s Word. I must have a reliable gold standard. If tradition is contrary to Scripture, it must be discarded. I think that’s where Catholicism went off the rails. For centuries, it persecuted (killed) those who tried to bring the Bible to the masses, saying it was the only qualified entity to interpret them. I’m so happy not to have lived then. Lol. The decrees from the council of Trent actually solidified most of my reasons for not staying in that denomination. Unbelief in Purgatory, and the fact that faith need not be accompanied by works for salvation were said to be an anathema.Same with transubstantiation, indulgences and celibacy.
@@mrearly2 what about my comments are wrong? Why do you think the RCC papacy retains pagan symbols? Beads, candles, sun symbols, the vestments worn ( fish of Dagon), and pineapples, one on his staff and a very large one at the Vatican. So you don’t believe in the Treasury of merit or talismans like the scapular or indulgences? And why is Mary, a sinful, created human being given attributes only belonging to God? And why do you sacrifice Christ over and over on altars around the world as if you get more salvation grace from attending when scripture clearly states His sacrifice was “once for all”. Anytime a dead female is “served”, worshipped, venerated in the Bible, it is an idol and those who served her were punished severely by God. Isn’t that interesting she was called the “Queen of Heaven? And why does scripture conflict with tradition in so many instances? Why are all believers referred to as saints and not voted into a special hall of fame? Why is Jesus the only high priest of the Order of Melchizedek and all believers a royal priesthood? We need no human mediators as Jesus is our ONLY mediator. The RCC teaches (like with idols) each saint has his/her own area of sovereignty? So many traditional teachings that have usurped the true gospel. The Eucharist actually changing into another substance is all meant to be spiritual unity with Christ to be done “in remembrance”. No human can call Almighty God to stay in a place made of human hands at the command of a ritualistic sacrifice that should never be reproduced in an unbloody or bloody way. This video is historically correct. How do you think Constantine was able to convince pagan Rome to accept Christianity? Research this instead of denying anything that goes against RCC tradition.
@Curtis MH "kk doc my friend. This video is full of crap. Talk to a priest. It’s never a good idea to learn about Catholicism from an anti-Catholic. " kk doc my friend. This video is full of crap. Talk to an SS soldier. It’s never a good idea to learn about Nazism from an anti-Nazi. Great advice, Curtis. I didn't learn about Catholicism from anti-Catholics. I learned by searching for answers that Catholics couldn't answer, like why are their dogmas not found in scripture. Of course they tell me the "early church fathers" always believed blah, blah, blah and point out "traditions". Here’s the problem, immediately! We really don’t need to look past the church at Ephesus to disprove this. The church of Ephesus was founded by the apostle Paul, who lived among the people at Ephesus for at least 3 years. Despite its having apostolic influence of bishops and overseers that were appointed by a confirmed apostle, we see this same church being rebuked by Jesus himself in Revelation, chapter 2. Why? Because they deviated from God’s word as well as deviated from any tradition they may have received. Revelation 2:1-7 Message to Ephesus 1 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: The One who holds the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks among the seven golden lampstands, says this: 2 ‘I know your deeds and your labor and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil people, and you have put those who call themselves apostles to the test, and they are not, and you found them to be false; 3 and you have perseverance and have endured on account of My name, and have not become weary. 4 But I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Therefore, remember from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and I will remove your lampstand from its place-unless you repent. 6 But you have this, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will grant to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.’ If they had been appointed elders by an apostle then they had been entrusted to carry on this tradition so the fact that they were being rebuked by Jesus shows us that whatever tradition that they might have received was no guarantee that they were going to continue in it so what is the authority? The written word. It is always only the final court of appeal for Jesus, and the apostles, always. SOLA SCRIPTURA my friend. If we followed scripture only, [2 Tim. 3:16] we wouldn't be having this conversation. Tell me Sola Scriptura isn't found and Scripture and I'll point out the Trinity, Omniscience, Omnipotence and Omnipresence. God bless you man. ;)
i am a Roman catholic by birth and left the catholic church at the age of 43 yrs after reading bible the word of god. now i am a pastor. Thanks for the clear cut message on pagan roman catholism. The present Bible that is catholic Bible or any other denomination Bible are incomplete. There are other left over books which has to be read. Roman catholic is from Babylonians to Egyptians to Romans. That is where Roman catholic is and at present. This is against the Bible. Full of idol worship.
There are 2 versions of Jesus = the Protestant version - and - the Catholic Biblical version. God is able to do all things. Jesus could have remained in Heaven and forgiven our sins, opened Heaven's gates to all, and did not have to come down to earth and live as one of us and die a cruel death. However, God goes to = extremes = to prove His love for us. But God has - expectations - and requires - More - from Christians because we have the perfect example of Jesus - Luke 12:48 From God's Expectations, Commandments and Testing come our guarantee of - eternal - salvation and Heavenly rewards. Jesus defined a Christian - Must take up your Cross daily, deny yourself and follow Me - Matthew 16:24. Jesus fasted - superhumanly - 40 days/nights. He dismissed Satan who mocked Him for fasting when He could have all the bread to eat - Matt. 4. Later, Jesus rebuked Peter as Satan when Peter tried to dissuade Jesus from His path of sufferings and death.- Matthew 16:23. And Jesus did not take the sour wine offered to Him whilst on the Cross to deaden the pain. Moreover, Jesus did a World of Works - John 21:25. Even Paul, like a faithful Christian= boasted =of the Cross -Galatians 6:14 , Christian Rule of Thumb is that if anything is hard/difficult, it is from God. On the other hand, if it is -easy - it is not from God The fact is that there are Catholics who leave the Faith because they say it has too many rules and regulations. Of course, they don't realize it is that rules and regulations are like Commandments which were God-issued so that these create a - safe - boundary beyond which the devil, like a roaring lion, is prowling about seeking to devour. On the other hand, Protestantism has no rules and regulations, no requirements and only promotes - Easy - Christianity and cheap Grace. List of - Hard - Facts == Commandments = Love God and Neighbour, including Enemies = God's Testing = Strive to enter Heavenly narrow gates for Few will enter - Mat. 7:14 & Luke 13:23-24 = Confess to another - John 20:22-23 = Eat My Flesh, drink My Blood - Real Food and Drink- for Eternal Life - John 6:53-58 + Partake of Holy Communion, worthily - 1 Cor. 11:26-27 =Jesus' Parables requiring the multiplication of Talents, becoming more fruitful "soil," wise "virgins" carrying oil, etc.= Vengeance is Mine, I will repay; = Fasting, Prayer and Almsgiving - Rewarded by the Father who sees in secret - Matthew 6. = Jesus urged the necessity of praying always - Luke 18:1. Thus Catholics have adopted the responsibility of praying for others, just as Jesus urged Peter to pray and thereby strengthen the others - Luke 22:32. List of - Easy - Facts == With Faith alone, one is saved by Grace and name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life, never to be erased = God's Commandments and Testing have been overtaken by Jesus' sacrifice and covered with His Precious Blood. Moreover all sin debt - past, present and future - has been paid in full. Thus the Guarantee - Absent in the Flesh, present with the Lord, forever = The 4 Gospels were meant for the - lost - people of Israel. Now there is a new covenant in the Blood of the Lamb which means - Once Saved, Forever Saved = Works are unnecessary for Salvation and are boastful = And Christian Marriages that end in - easy - divorce and remarriages. Remember, Jesus instituted the Church, which is a body of Believers, for the reason that He wants His followers to worship and pray together. Jesus declared that where 2 or 3 are gathered in My Name, there I AM - Matthew 18:20. Even the Lord's Prayer is plural - Our Father. What is the Gospel Message ?? The 4 books of the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are titled - The Gospel - according to Matthew / Mark / Luke / John. This was the same Gospel message revealed to Paul by Jesus - Galatians 1:12 - which reflected the Teachings and Doings of Jesus and which Paul proclaimed - verbally - on his missionary journeys. Later on, after Paul had received reports from faithful and trustworthy members, he sent out letters to the churches he had established to commend them or to correct them and even provide more insight and clarification. The Bible titles these letters as - Epistles - to the various churches of Corinth, Philippi, etc. Thus, these Epistles were Paul's means of keeping in touch with, as well as providing a Review/Report of the status of the churches he wrote to and to whom he had previously preached - verbally - the Gospel. Besides, 2 of Paul's letters have gone missing - see 1 Cor. 5:9 and Col. 4:16 Common sense would therefore dictate that we place our doctrines and belief systems first and foremost on these 4 Gospels, and keep everything else secondary. This is because our Salvation is the most important question we will ever face. It is thus obvious that these Epistles are way-down secondary to the 4 Gospels which Jesus brought from the Heavenly Father's mind and heart for our Salvation. Sadly, Protestants have based their - Doctrines - and belief systems on these commentaries and Epistles - instead - of the 4 Gospels. They have created doctrines that require no Confession as per Jesus' formula, denial of the - Real Presence - of Jesus in Holy Communion, and the need for Good Works despite that the Great Judgement is based on Works - Matthew 25. By declaring that only Faith is necessary for Salvation, they have effectively cancelled the Cross - the very symbol of Christianity. Yet even Paul, like a faithful Christian, boasted of the Cross -Galatians 6:14, Will they be raptured ? Will they be saved.?
There is no such thing as a Roman Catholic, except for Catholics who happen to come from Rome. There is no such thing as a "Catholic by Birth". You can't even spell Catholicism correctly. You seem extremely confused.
Jesus was a jew, all his apostles were Jews, the gospel was preached first to Jews. Apostles and the first church assembly happened in Jerusalem which became the headquarters for the first church and the apostles. Where was roman Catholic at that time? Later Paul a Jews was send to gentiles. Jesus through John wrote to the seven churches established by Paul. Why is the roman Catholic Church missing? The Bible declares clearly that Peter was send to Jews while Paul was send to gentiles, how comes roman Catholic (a gentiles church) attributes Peter as it's first pope? Can you answer this simple questions please.
@@mikemwanza8027 Regarding why Catholics believe that Peter was the 1st Pope, we have Apostolic Succession whereby the church continues after Jesus' Heavenly ascension and the death of the Apostles. The Bible indicates that Jesus had an " inner circle " comprising Peter, James and John whom He took alone to select places like His Transfiguration, the raising of Jairus' daughter to life, and the Garden of Gethsemane before His Passion and Death. Even in this " inner circle " the Bible always ranks Peter ahead of James and John Catholics believe that Papal authority was given to Peter, the 1st Pope, on Peter's declaration of Jesus' Divinity and Son of the Living God - Matthew 16:16 and Jesus' response of - You are Rock on which I will build My church - Mat. 16:18 - together with Jesus' entrustment of the Keys to the Kingdom to Peter alone- Matthew 16:18-19. It was confirmed after Jesus' Resurrection, when Jesus questioned Peter's love 3 times, firstly to assuage Peter's guilt regarding his thrice betrayal, but most importantly to seal Peter's pastoral role of spiritually feeding Jesus' followers - His lambs and sheep - John 21. In John 21 verse 19 concludes with Jesus, the Good Shepherd. who directed Peter - FOLLOW ME. This directive made only to Peter can only be interpreted as Jesus' successor. Note: Jesus entrusted the keys of Heaven **only* to Peter - Mat. 16:19 - and empowered Peter that whatever, he bound and loosed on earth, would also be bound and loosed in Heaven. On the other hand, on the very day of his resurrection from the dead - John 20:22-23 - Jesus breathed on His Apostles, including Peter, His own Spirit, and empowered them to forgive - or bind - sins. Jesus' breath was similar to the one which gave the life-force to the earth-created Adam - Genesis 2:7 Of the 12 Apostles, only Peter had his name changed from Simon to represent his new authority and role from being a fisherman to being a Fisher of Men - Matthew 4:19. It is true that Paul also had his name changed from Saul - a Persecutor of the church to becoming its Promoter among the pagans. Moreover, of all the Apostles - excluding Judas - the Resurrected Jesus appeared to Peter first - Luke 24:34. Peter was the 1st to perform the miracle of healing - Acts 3 When the couple Ananias and Sapphira lied to the 1st Christian community, it was Peter who confronted them and God " executed " them - Acts 5 Peter was the 1st to raise the dead Tabitha to life - Acts 9 Peter was the 1st to introduce Gentiles to the church - Acts 10 Without a Magisterium, Protestant ministers have become their own teaching authority which has resulted in thousands of denominations. Protestant ministers have become dependent on the " itching ears " of their congregations and can be voted out of office - something which is not Biblical. The "Prosperity" doctrine, now in vogue, is one of the results despite Jesus' declaration that - To be My disciple, you MUST take up your Cross daily, deny yourself, and follow Me.

Wonderful lecture! I grew up catholic, as an adult I started to question the prayers to Mary. I wondered why we had to go to Mary, why couldn't we go to Jesus?I left the catholic church after I read the bible.
Christine, as a Catholic you were taught that direct prayers to God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are not only allowed but encouraged, and you know from attending Mass (did you ever attend Mass?) that the Mass is one long prayer to the Father and that the emphasis is on Jesus, Jesus' Body and Blood, and that Mary is barely mentioned.
Mr Penton, I get what you're saying, and I respect your opinion. It's not just Mary that changed my heart. I did go to mass, and I prayed the rosary everyday, and I read about the saints. My cousin is a preist. The whole lecture is about the catholic church and it's corrupt history. Does any of the corruption in the church bother you?

@neinacelebre4546 What tends to happen with Catholics who never understood their faith is that shortly after becoming Protestant, they could tell you everything about the Catholic Church within about 30 days after leaving the Church. What goes unnoticed within Protestant communities is that there are thousands and thousands of Protestants converting to Catholicism. Yet, more people are leaving. It is said that for every six people that leave the Church, one Protestant enters. Now after years and years of studying this phenomenon, what I have come to learn is that those who leave the Church never understood her teachings...and those Protestants who enter the Church do so because of their understanding. There are tons of pastors (even mega-pastors) and just regular people from the pew who are entering the Church when they learn what Catholicism really teaches. Many of them were once extreme anti-Catholics who believed the Pope was Satan and the Catholic Church - the Whore of Babylon. Now I know this reply is not going to make a difference but I'm hoping you accept my invitation to learn more of what I have to say. Nonetheless, I'll leave you with the following for you to contemplate over in my attempt to incite you to have an open heart to hear me out: Protestants proclaim that the Bible is their foundation for truth. However, according to the Bible…the Church is the Pillar and Foundation for Truth (1 Timothy 3:15) since God manifests His Wisdom through Her (Ephesians 3:10)... by the Holy Spirit who guides her and teaches her (John 14:26 & 16:13)…which is why Jesus instructed the people to listen to what the Holy Spirit says to the Church (7x’s - Revelation 2:7, 11, 17, 27 & 3:6,13, 22)…which the Church explains through Scripture…which is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness - since all Scripture is God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Now because of the misguided teachings of false pastors who have led many away from the Church, Paul commanded the Faithful to adhere to the Traditions of the Church (2 Thessalonians 2:15)...lest they be led astray by some tickling of the ear (2 Timothy 4:3).

@@tonyornelas9374 that's your opinion try reading the Bible in context slowly so you understand it better don't rush it Stop attacking the Catholic church
@@andreeattieh2963 The catholics changed the Bible and the pope said it's dangerous to have a relationship with Jesus and Jesus failed on the cross. Sorry that is the church of satan. Please do your reasearch your afterlife may depends on it
The moment i was born again in Spirit, i started to see things which millions of roman catholics people cannot see (in which my heart breaks for them), specifically the wrong teachings of the church. And this is something that i am proud to testify in behalf of Christ, that no man has ever told me these things prior to my conversion in Spirit but only God himself did this incredible redemption in my life. How it happened? Well, i had a great encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ himself 3 times! All glory to God! I onced was lost, but now am found. I was blinded, but now i see! Praise God and to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I'm still a Roman Catholic up to now, and still waiting some confirmation from the Holy Spirit on which church should i go to worship God, or should i just stay in the catholic church. It's all up to God. But what God put inside my mind and inside my heart is something that NO ONE can ever take it away from me, not even some of the false teachings of the historical catholic church leaders. And i am confident, that God will never let anybody snatch me from Him! Not even satan. Oh Lord, may your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven! All glory and honour and power are yours now and forever! In Jesus name, Amen!
I pray you get the true word and not that of manned religion. The Holy Spirit you speak of is the ruach, that has opened your heart and gives you drive to follow gods love, his work. Don't close your heart by said religon ie churches. Take a look at 119 ministries, its a trust worthy start. Praise YAH!
@@andreeattieh2963 ha. do you realy believe that? Please, Can you give one thing that you do that the mesionic church ie YAHshuas church did? Just so you know, it's called the Roman catholic church, they even put there Name before YAH/God.
@@1234poppycat well I got ta tell ya, I "ain't" of any religion that is afflicted by a church ! I Learn from the word . There is so much wrong with organized religion, do you understand that alot of the learnings ie teachings actually goes against YAH /Gods word.... It sadins me to see what youv become. Teachers of lawlessness, not willing to abide by his given word, you-serpt his authority, obedience is not even in your selfish vocabulary. Sheep to the churches . Now the Shepard is coming back, and he Is looking for his scattered flock. Halalu-YAH Praise YAH .
@@1234poppycat I'm sorry the poor Catholic are being tricked and will be accessories to rape, murder, idolatry, blasphemy, and so on. Just as criminals are accessories to rape, burglary, murder and so. Just b/c Catholics don't see the actual crime, it has been proven, and they stay under this doctrine of devil 1Tim. 4. And Revelation 13 says my children get out of her, the world and the Vatican.
@Khrotso Koza I know you say how could she say this about the Catholic church and Catholics there are so many and the poor protestants some of them are even joining now. The Muslims are a side show for the Vatican and Satan, they made a deal that's why some of the Catholic churches are name Fatima right under everybody's nose, Fatima is Allah's daughter. Every road of religion leads to Catholicism and Satan but the true Christians, even non-Christians the road leads and will lead to Rome and Satan. Even Hollywood all over the world leads to Satan and the Vatican. I'm sorry, they replaced our beloved Mary with the queen of heaven in the old testament and their Great Diana Acts 19 that the world worshipped at that time, now just renamed their statues with Mary and so on. And the Bible should be interpreted one way and that's through the knowledge of Holy Spirit, our Lord Jesus Christ and Father GOD. It's just man trying to come in with their cornal mindedness, getting wrong understanding with Satan. We must be baptized, full body under water, as adults by a holy man of our LORD, ask our Lord Jesus and Father GOD to receive his Holy Spirit, repent of sins and allow the Holy Spirit and our Lord Jesus to guide us back to him from Satan world. The Bible warns us of some places and people to stay away from that not of him, we figured most of it out, with his guidance and Bible by his prophets. Catholicism is against our LORD since before our Lord Jesus and during, helped Israel kill our Lord Jesus just under another name. They took out Emperor Nero, the murderer of Christians and probably our dear apostle Paul, took him out of our new king James Bible. Why to hide the truth, they took books out our Bible, now they are changing meaning in our Bible, just recently the pope changes the LORD's prayer the "Lead us not into temptation" to something "Let us not into temptation" when we are not in charge of our temptation the Lord GOD is. The LORD said don't touch his word add to or take from it, the people that will be in trouble. We must wake up and see, Satan will be allowed to blind you from seeing and hearing the truth the Bible says, pray to our LORD to show you, deep earnest prayer. Our soul is in danger, it's of utmost importance we understand our LORD and Bible, for our Salvation to make it back to him.
@Khrotso Koza use wisdom, I'm not the only one coming against Catholicism, many people have seen and our LORD has opened many eyes to his truth all over the world some lukewarm, hope they get it. Why do we have protestants today, think about. Satan hates us, he will use anything to deceive us, even religion and warp the minds of people to believe lies, as he did with Eve and Adam followed. All the children and women raped in Catholicism and people murdered, for selfish reasons, our LORD doesn't want us under such evilness. Our LORD is of love, and his love is pure, and of an understand, and long suffering. He adores his children and warns no one to hurt them, cause he knows they are the most vulnerable besides his animals. Paul pleads with us not to be tricked by Satan as Eve was beguiled by him. Everything is mostly said one time in our Bible, it's the only truth left on earth, and with some on TH-cam trying to help. Satan is slick, and so much of a show off he has a show now"Lucifer", in the world's face with his number one church(the Catholic church) on it, giving little truth and much lies, cause he's the father of lies. Satan deceiving the world just about, and his Antichrist is coming, with the help of the Vatican bringing all his religions together, and so is our Lord Jesus coming at same time in a cloud to collect his church. Our Lord Jesus church has turned from sin, and this world of Satan, around the world, that loves him and everyone even our enemies, the Bible says a few, and narrow is his way, hope you get it and we all get it in time.
I left Catholicism after meeting my father-in-law who's a wonderful, nondenominational pastor and my husband had said he wouldn't get married in a Catholic church... so I had to examine my faith and learn The Bible. Now I'm born again in God's sight... and my husband is no longer a believer 😔
JUSTKENZIE----How lucky to get away from that 2000 year old church. Which of the 3K to 4K bickering, bible-verse changing, B/V igoring, dividing Protestant churches have you joined Is it the REAL ONE that our Saviour built 2000 years ago and promised to be with forever ? Or is it one of the THOUSANDS that ALL claim to be IT but came about 500 or less, years ago ?
Praise be to God... that you are a true follower of Jesus now ! Let's pray for your husband to return to Jesus...I will keep him in my prayers dear sister!
In other words, you gained nothing toward eternal life, out of ignorance (if you knew the true religion--Catholicism--you would never abandon it). You and your father-in-law: a classic case of the blind leading the blind (and they both shall fall into the pit).

It has ALWAYS bothered me….since I was little….that Catholics prayed to Mary! That and the fact that the architecture of Catholic Churches are filled with idols! I realize there is corruption in all churches (I’m Protestant/Lutheran), but there seems to be a great deal of evil in the Vatican itself! Father Amorath himself stated that the Devil is in the Vatican! I love your Bible studies! I’m so glad I found your channel!! 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
@@nirmaljose7763 Ohhhhh he (the Devil) will prevail over those who practice paganism and pray to ANYONE or ANYTHING that is not GOD/JESUS CHRIST!! Read the 10 commandments!!🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼 ….heck read THE BIBLE for goodness sake!!
I have debated many Catholics on this issue, asking them to provide scripture where God tells us to pray to Mary, and they always get extremely defensive and angry, some telling me I'm not saved b/c I'm not in the CC. It is clear they are very deceived and stuck in this mentality. Ye shall know them by their fruit.
@@RS54321 Regarding why Catholics seek Mary's intercession, here are 2 cases. First. At Jesus' transfiguration, Moses & Elijah were seen talking with Him. In OT, Elijah had been bodily carried to Heaven, Moses had died. When Peter volunteered to build tents, he was obviously seeing them each in bodily form. So there IS life after death. Second. When Jesus spoke in Parables, He used fictitious figures in His teaching moments like the Prodigal Son, Father & Brother who had no names. However, in the Living Account of the Rich Man(RM) and Beggar Lazarus(BL) - Luke 16:19-31-, the historical Abraham and the BL were named while Jesus did not "care to remember '' the RM's name. In this Parable, Jesus declared that both the RM & BL had died, had been judged and assigned to their places - BL carried by Angels to Abraham's bosom, the RM sent to a place of torment. Despite being dead, there was a request for intercession by the RM to Father Abraham for his brothers. This is the second case of Life after Death, and both cases involve Jesus. Mary is superior to both Moses & Abraham. Moses committed murder and was disobedient at Meribah in the desert that disqualified him from entering the Promised Land. Abraham lied about his wife Sarah being his sister, and committed adultery with Hagar, his servant. Mary was " full of grace " with no biblical faults ascribed to her. And Mary is the mother of Jesus and thus the most excellent intercessor between us and Jesus, God & Judge ( John 5:22). While we pray to God we also have to use human helps like doctors, farmers etc. Possessed persons and their families cannot help themselves without the aid of exorcists. Jesus loved & honored His mother Mary and would therefore treat her better than the error-prone Moses & Abraham. Humanly speaking, we all love and " adore " our Mothers - not worship them. ======>>>> Jesus loved perfectly and also " adored " His Mother.
Funny, the only thing Protestants can agree on is hating the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church doesn’t waste time trying to expose Protestant’s errors. Not only would it take too long because of the thousands of different sects, but when you know the truth, you can spot the counterfeits. Kinda like a fake dollar bill. We aren’t taught what all the counterfeit bills look like because new ones are created every day and there’s many different types. All you need to know is what a real dollar bill looks like to spot the fake. Hope that analogy makes sense.
@@thomashess6211 interesting what’s “the graven image”?? I know what it means in the context of scripture... just curious how you’re applying it to Christ’s church. I wasnt aware that we carved images and offered them sacrifice and praise (aka worship). Are you Mormon, Jehovah witness, Baptist, Lutheran, seventh day Adventist, Methodist, presbyterian, Amish, brethren in Christ, Quaker, Pentecostal, Calvinist, Assemblies of God, Anglican, reformed or something else?
It wasn't the sacrifice that God rejected from Cain, because there were grain offerings that were required. It was the attitude of his heart that made God reject Cains offering.
You're right about the grain offering. Not too many people are aware of that. So the fact that he offered grain wasn't the issue. It was that there is no mention of Cain offering the first of his fruits.
Ever since I have been saved, my eves have been opened to the truth about the Catholic Church. One thing that saddens me is that there are so many people who are turning to Christ, but going to Catholicism...their doctrine is so unbiblical that it's scary to see so many Christians being led astray.
Many people born before the 1970s or even the 1980s were raised Catholic and it makes sense: they had the most ability to help others. They had the money, the schools, the hospitals, etc. But in today, there's no reason for anyone to be Catholic. I am shocked when I meet people 40 and younger who say they are Catholic.
For example, my dad and his siblings were born in the 40s, 50s , and 60s. They were raised Catholic but none of them are Catholic today and no one on my dad's side of the family practices Catholicism.
@@1234poppycat except that they do. I have looked at the Bible and the 2nd commandment states in Exodus 20:4 "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth" Now look at the Catholics 10 commandments and the 2nd commandment is completely taken out. The Catholics 2nd commandment is replaced with the 3rd commandment, "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord they God in vain" and they split the 10th commandment in two.
The churches today, most also have tons of paganism. Christmas, Easter and worshipping on Sunday all came from the Catholic Church. Yet most Christians refuse to admit this. In 321 AD, God's day of worship was changed. Not by God the Father but by Emperor Constantine. A few years after that keeping the Sabbath and keeping God's holy days (Exodus 12, Leviticus 16 and 23) we're actually outlawed. The calendars we're also changed by men. Just like the book of Daniel said "he will think to change laws and times". Daniel foretold it and it happened. I have left the daughters of Catholicism and gone directly to the book (Bible). Come to find out it all still applies. Jeremiah 16:19 is exactly what I said.
Thor's day (Thursday) tyr's day (tuesday) The time of men and laws are different considering christianity started as a cult in the middle east as a sect of judaism. The laws and calendars of the middle east is different from the roman, celtic, germanic, slavic laws and calandars all of which are wonders of the modern world and fell into decline after adopting Christianity.
KAYE/C-----Jesus changed Simon's name to Peter. It means Large Boulder [ ROCK ] in our Saviour's language.HE said "upon this rock I will build MY church. Please explain why HE changed Simon's name ! HE said HE would be with Peter [ HIS church ] for ever. Do you read TIM: ? the CHURCH is the AUTHORITY---and---the CHURCH is the PILLAR and FOUNDATION of TRUTH. Constantine changed nothing but your new teachers change everything ! Which of the thousands of disagreeing, bible verse ignoring Protestant churches have you found ? The real one ?
@Patrick Montgomery I notice you comment on everyone's comments. If you're going to spend all of your time doing that... could you at least make some sense?

Thank GOD in JESUS n CHRIST Alone, after 24 spiritually dark yrs, in 1996, i left the church of rome n Came Home to The GOD of The HolyBible in Protestant churches n have been sharing CHRIST with many many roman catholics who have Come Home to JESUS in Protestant Churches!!!
Wil liam Mate you have been deceived by Satan himself, tell me How Jesus is divine if the Virgin contains sin!!! Jesus was truly man having the same birth as you and I but doesn't inherit original sin!!! How is that even possible if Mary was a sinner,he would share her DNA, According to the Bible Jesus didn't need to be baptized but chose to according to tradition.This guy is a heretic, the Catholic Church contains the body soul divinity in the Eucharist that in itself is worth coming home God Bless
@@kaistigerboy -THE HOLY SPIRIT overcame Mary - GOD is the FATHER of JESUS CHRIST!!! The seed was not planted by man. (There is a way that seems right to man - but that way leads to destruction. )
For all the Catholics that are reacting to this video, from a Catholic that had to re-examine beliefs, I would suggest that you follow the words of 1 Thessalonians 5:21, “ Prove everything. Hold fast that which is true.” In other words do your own independent research. I don’t accept what this guy in the video says. I do my own research. Having said this, many of his points are valid in this video as I have verified this myself for me via other sources. Because of this, I am no longer religious, but I am spiritual. I trust that Yeshua (jesus) justified me through his death, burial, and resurrection, to the Father.
Calling yourself "spiritual" is not a good Idea. Even New Agers (Oprah Winfrey) call themselves spiritual. By doing so the world can easily confuse the two. Just call yourself what you are, a Christian. I do commend you on your own research, as did I. I'm no longer a RC and haven't been for 40 years. The seven things he lists are the very reason why the RCC is a heretical church.
@@davidhall2197 I am a Christian. Jesus redeemed me through his death burial and resurrection. I could not justify myself to the Father if I wanted. However, when I refer to being as spiritual, I am striving to be one with the Lord. I apologize for the confusion. If I don’t see you in this world, maybe we will see each other when we are with the Father . God Bless you sir!! :):)
PastorJohn, you're an inspiration to us all. Thank you for your words of wisdom. God bless you, and all my brothers and sisters in Christ. Maranatha!!!!!!!
Same goes for the Roman Catholic Holidays such as Christmas, there is NO Christmas in the bible plus we know through history Jesus was never born in Dec 25th as well BUT yet millions celebrate the mixture of paganism & giving it with a christian name to it calling it Jesus birthday. Oil and water does not mix God of the bible does not mix pagan with him either. God is Holy, he does not share his glory.
@@efandmk3382 AND millions of "inteligent" Atheists will try to re-elect Rumple TRUMPSKIN ! The Goofus that is not even qualified to be Dog Catcher ! LOL !
Iron and clay do not mix either.... You are right. God is Holy and does not share his glory with another! Christmas, Easter, Lent...all of these are re-created pagan holidays. Nobody seems to want to listen to this truth though...they get pretty uptight about it.
Thank you for this. I’m struggling because i am saved. I have Jesus with me right now. But I need to go on a rescue mission for my family is deep in the Catholic church.
YOU = I’m struggling because i am saved. ME = Are you reading the Bible correctly ??????? Protestants believe that Jesus paid for all sin, as we could not pay the sin debt. Jesus paid it all once for all. And they sadly believe that God will forgive, not only sins against God, but also sins against Neighbour.= Check Matthew 6:14-15 and Matthew 18:32-35. I urge you to read a Red-Letter Bible precisely to clear any misunderstandings you may have had about being " saved." And present the examples of Ananias and Sapphira from the 1st Christian - Faith - community who were " executed " by God for just dishonesty and lying . And this was shortly = after = Jesus' heavenly ascent = Acts 5. And Jesus' threat to spew out and vomit the lukewarm Laodicean church - Rev 3. Obviously, these people were = not = saved. Moreover, the final judgement is based on works of Love = Matthew 25. This statement is by Jesus, God and Judge. Protestants have long been weaned on Paul's letters and wrongly equate " saved " with being granted "heavenly citizenship." This is despite the fact that Paul stated in Galatians 5:19-21 that Christians who do works of the flesh will = not = inherit the kingdom of God. In other words they will not receive heavenly citizenship. Protestants base their theology - their basic belief systems and doctrines, instead of the Gospels, on Paul's letters especially =For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; 9it is not from works, so no one may boast = Ephesians 2:8-9 = and have arrived at religious philosophy that is distant from practical Christianity. Protestants believe that Jesus came to earth to die and take away all sins and its guilt association. His cry - It is finished - proved that human redemption from sin was completed, and that those who believe in Jesus would have their names forever written in the Lamb's Book of Life and at the time of death, they would be - absent in the flesh, present with the Lord forever - no matter how many or how grievous they committed sins. Others would be caught up and - raptured - to be with Jesus forever. Thus the promise of salvation was God's free gift - grace - to them. Catholics, on the other hand, believe that when Adam and Eve sinned, God not only cast them from Eden, and laid - Original Sin - on all their descendants, but also slammed the gates of Heaven shut. God then required that a man must pay the penalty of the man Adam's sin in order to atone for the Original Sins of mankind and thereby open Heaven's gates. However, no man was found to be worthy - sinless - so in the fullness of time, God sent His Son, Jesus, to live sinlessly and die to pay that penalty.. It is finished - was Jesus' cry of Mission accomplished and that Heaven was now open. And that all = original = sins of those past, those present and those still unborn would be forever wiped away. And that Baptism is a one-time - Grace - event that washes all prior sins - 1 Peter 3:21 - However, we are responsible for all sins after. Saved by grace is thus Jesus' freewill offering of Himself to pay the penalty of Adam's sin and thereby open the gates of Heaven. While the Catholic doctrine is not in the Bible, we understand that Jesus did a = world of -unrecorded - Works = John 21:25. As a result 2 traditions ensued - oral and written - 2 Thess. 2:15 - which are of equal merit Paul declares the Bible - useful and profitable - in 2 Timothy 3:16, but that the CHURCH is the Bulwark and Pillar of TRUTH - 1 Timothy 3:15. That is because the Church, the community of Believers, came first - Matthew 16:18 - and incorporates both the written word as well as the oral tradition - 2 Thessalonians 2:15. Moreover, Paul declares - Ephesians 1:23 - The church is Christ's body, Thus it is the Church, the BODY of Christ, that can rightfully proclaim the WORD of God Biblically, the Protestant position is un-supported and the Catholic position correct because of the following (( continued in Part 2 due to length ))
mfa If your family is deep in Catholicism that means they have not yet rejected Jesus as you apparently have. Stick with them and MAYBE you will be saved.
YOU = i am saved ME = If you are = really = saved, can you respond to my question which I posed with my comment headed with CHALLENGE = Can = any = Protestant, including Dr John Barnett, give the answer to this most = basic = and fundamental Question = Why did Jesus incarnate as a Man and die on the Cross ??

@@mfalmog Jesus established one church for the salvation of man. He said that he would be with it forever and he promised that the spirit of truth would be with the apostles till the end of time. Satan hates that church and has been attacking it from day one. One of his best attacks was the "Reformation" which split Christianity in two and put half of it outside of that protected church. So you have one church made by God and then 4 individual ones set up by 4 principle "reformers". That number was at 40,000 years ago and I think they have stopped counting, Jesus even warned Peter that Satan was out to sift him and Satan has clearly sifted and split Christianity through Protestantism. 500 years in existence and still it cannot produce a catechism explaining its beliefs. It is a rebellion against God disguised as a rebellion against his fallen church. Its member assume that reading a book they don't understand makes them saints and some say they can do as they please because they were once saved and thus protected from condemnation. They ignore most of what Jesus teaches in that book as they follow their human authors and ignore him. So they reject the teaching of Jesus on church, Eucharist, Mass, forgiveness of sins, salvation, sacraments, etc. According to Jesus they have no life within them (John 6) and they risk dying in their sins (John 20) That's how I drew that conclusion.
Reasons I no longer practice Catholic faith. My sister is a "devout Catholic". My family had to move from our home last summer. We had no where to go. My sister lives in a 300.000 home. She never invited me too stay. And when she finally relented she kicked me, my husband and daughter out of her home after two days. This woman has an alter in her home and has not spoken to me our my mother for months. I can go on but trying to make a long story short. But she is far from Christian.

It's a corrupt religion period. Like i said if things in your "religious" edicts that look alot like and act alot like old world paganism well then....And if what these actions are doing are causing brothers and sisters in CHRIST to stumble lose faith well...
The word “religion” has been distorted to have negative connotations, however, in The Bible, under inspiration the writers defined true religion...so the problem isn’t “religion”, it is false religion as opposed to true religion. See James 1: 26 - 27
The "organized religion of men" is what many rail against. It is this false religion that conflicts greatly with the Scriptures. It is when mankind puts their "traditions" above the inspired writings and the movement of the Holy Spirit. It is when men seem to think they can "order God around" during their rituals (aka eucharist); change his set times and laws... The word "religion" isn't the problem at all, but what mankind has done to corrupt true religion... Maybe this is not what you are trying to say, but it is my take on it.
That is why I say, "religion of men and not of God". We are to have a relationship with Christ, and so many just do not. They do have a relationship with their "religion" though.

@@1234poppycat you obviously feel very strongly about the Catholic church. That's fine. I myself was born and raised Catholic and went to only Catholic schools. I'm in no way faulting the church. I just like to keep an open mind and learn as much as I can. I was in no way insulting anyone.
Although Papal Infallibility and the Immaculate Conception of Mary were not defined as doctrines until the 19th century, they had been longstanding non-doctrinal beliefs for many centuries before that.
This people have no other business but to relate and correlate everything into myths and other false interpretarions when in fact they themselves do believed in this religion and worshipped it. Though it was separated from the Main making their own religion. We venerate and honor Mary indeed but we do not worship her as equal or higher than God. Mary is worthy of admiration due to her selflessness, courage, and faith in God. Especially in her time, to be unwed and pregnant was extremely shameful and sometimes even resulted in serious punishment.
The Catholic Church is The Way In Christ. Protestants will know that the Church is For God who is Christ who is the Holy Spirit when the Final days come Protestants will turn back towards the Church For Protection
The joint service,.. is it a once-a-year thing? It reminds me of when I was growing up in the 60's, we were the Lutheran church on one corner in town and at the end of our block corner sat a Catholic church, and once a year they invited our church to go to their service. Nothing more ever came of these yearly visits. No one felt there was any unseen motives. It was a tradition to extend a gesture of neighborly hospitality which frankly the Lutherans of my church I grew up in didn't put forth any warmth in this tradition, they were glad when that Sunday was finished for another year. 👍 I want to say that I enjoy your channel, I get enlightened through your teaching. Thank you for posting as often as you do. God bless you.
My friend is Catholic - she recently heard a voice during one of the horrible migraines say over and over: "you don't know Me". I asked her who she thought that was - She thinks it was her grandmother - it wasn't her grandmother. God is trying to reach out, but she's not listening. I'm praying for her.
My friend is a Protestant, he was sick, then a voice said to him " You don't know me".He thought it was grandmother but it was God telling him that he is following a false teaching...
Lent mirrors the days Jesus was in the dessert , fasting and praying . Lent is the season in which we prepare our hearts to celebrate Jesus and declare that he is Risen , why would the devil want that ?
I asked my friend why she prayed to Mary and she said it’s because she is the mother of Jesus. I told her that’s not right. Too many people are deceived. I won’t give up on my family members and friends.
@@peterhenryzepeda3484 Praying to Mary isn't right nor is it Biblical. Mary was Jesus' earthly mother, but she has been heretically elevated to be greater than she is. There is no one who intercedes for us except Jesus.
Jesus Christ said pick up your cross and follow Jesus Christ, he didn't say follow the doctrines of men, in fact scripture warn's beware of the doctrines of MEN. Thank you JESUS CHRIST for opening my eye's to see only you always and you are your word.

Read the Bible yourself please because if you don't and if your don't repent like it has said to do you will see the lake of fire. Stop following men and follow Jesus Christ like he has said. Look up how evil the Catholic church is. The Pope and the Catholic church has been killing Christians for close to 2000 years. Forget about this dying world and think about the next. God says so many will fall because they don't want to educate themselves. I hope you sit down and read the Bible. Get the KJV bible study to help you.

So the apostles, 2000 years ago, were out killing people ? Read the bible ? I wish you Catholic haters would believe YOUR bibles ! 31 Popes were put to death for preaching the gospel and remaing true to our saviour, including the first one !

You obviously don't know and probably are not interested in the following FACTS: the Catholic church put the bible together, hand copied it for centuries and had it printed when a Catholic invented printing in Germany. Now you people constantly say we don't read the bible ! The Catholic church gave the world the bible----and we NOW don't use it ? Stop following men ? I wish you would use your common sense and get a second opinion. Do you know that the greatest Christian theologians in history were Catholic ?

@@johnsheedy461 I use to be a Catholic. They were talking about the first church with the Apostles. NO Where does it talk about follow the church. The Pope is a man. God told you to follow Jesus Christ only. Jesus Christ said follow him only but you are follow some old man around. I bet you have never even read the Bible, ever page. Read it. No where does it say God will give you a Pope. He says in Mathew don't call anyone Father except God in Heaven but you call the Pope father. Jesus Christ said only he can forgive you of your sins but you let the pope and other priests forgive you with a bunch of hail Mary prayers. None of that is in the Bible. Do some research on the start up of the church. They have been killing Christians for years. Do some bible studies on Daniels proficiencies and revelation. God tells you about the Catholic church. Remember the devil will pretend to be Light, the good guy and so will his demons. A bad guy will give u candy to get u into the car. Read Mathew FALSE PROFITS will come in my name. Wolves in sheep clothing. God says many will die because of lack of learning. LEARN and be saved. Stop chasing a old man around you are chasing the devil. Keep your eyes on Jesus Christ so you will not fall into the water. Study man. Everyone knows how evil the Catholic church is. It's been outed. Jesus Christ is on his way and u are about to follow this pope into the fire, why? No pope has ever been killed. That is not even true. Repent and walk with Jesus Christ and the Bible. It's all a lie dude but the Bible and Jesus Christ is true. Study the proficiencies.

@dom com. you sir are very uninformed about idol worship and the Catholic church! There is good and bad people in every religion, and if someone in the Catholic church is worshiping idols, then they are in serious trouble! If we Catholics believed all the lies and calumnities that are told about the church, we would hate it ten times more than bigots do. The enemies of the church do not hate the church; they only hate what they errouneously believe to be the church.
Just because the Catholic Church is being REBUKED, it does not make it the "greatest". Your statement does prove the arrogance of its congregants though.

Awesome!👌 thank you so much for being inspired by the Holy Spirit to testify in his Revelation, the Apostle John, wrote; " And I saw the woman dressed in purple and scarlet, sitting on the beast and holding a golden cup, drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. On her forehead were written blaspheme words..." ( Revelation 17:6). The Apostle Paul wrote; " But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse".(Galatians 1:8); ( 2 Corinthians 1:8).

Which I don't understand. I know she's alive in Paradise but why do you need a middle man so to speak, to talk to God? Also why all the Statues of Mary in the Catholic Church and it's still not considered "worship" Why do you guys call the Pope and priests "Father's" when God said only he is Father. Why did the Pope change the Lord's Prayer? Why is the Pope trying to unite the religions? Or why does it seem like he is? I don't believe all Catholics are going to hell. I'm told that alot.

Yes this man on here is teaching a lies about the Catholic Church we are christians just as much as everybody else We are so much christians that our church put The Bible together so of the Catholic Church is false than The Bible is too
@@JuanHernandez-ml8nh I was raised Catholic and received a New Testament from a 7th grade (1962) catechism teacher which changed my life. The biggest choice I had to make early on, was whether to believe the Word of God as written, or believe the footnotes on most every page that gave the Catholic Church reason why their doctrines/rules, etc were contradictory, but wiser to believe in. I decided to always believe only the Word of God. (We owe undying gratitude to the Old and New Testament Jews who preserved the manuscripts comprising all the older bibles, like the favorite King James). My entire family, was Catholic, and the ones who have died, never professed a personal relationship with Jesus, only that they were Catholics. They never knew the disposition of their souls for eternity, and death was dreaded and filled with sadness. I place much blame for them being lost on the CC who urges people not to read the Bible. I believe if they ever would have read it, they might have discovered very many severe errors between the CC and God's Word. They might have become saved. But then, Jesus is Truth, no matter what religion we are, or what building we attend, in the end it is all about Him and the commandments He gave us to live by. May God Bless you richly through His Word!

Sanctification is not work ie. the sacraments. These are works and mean nothing. There is nothing you can do to save yourself.

We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father; God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God; begotten not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven. By the power of the Holy Spirit He was born of the Virgin Mary and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate. He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day He rose again, in fulfillment of the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son He is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

+TH-camViewer ----- *FALSE* I was Catholic for 32 years and most is not Biblical but man made traditions. Odd, after not being in one all those years, I STILL know ALL of the Mass, even some of the Latin Mass. Jesus said to NOT pray with repetition as the heathen do. If they didn't do so, I sure wouldn't remember what I don't want to from there. I am FREE in CHRIST.. You'd be wise to do the same and as God said, "Come out of her, My people!" While there is still time.
Mary Mclocke you misquoted, and left out the keyword word “VAIN” before repetition. We were taught the Lord’s prayer, and told to pray persistently. Also the first half of the Hail Mary is straight from scripture. The end is asking the mother of God to pray for us. Scripture says to pray for one another. Who better to pray for you than Mary? Some say this is necromancy, but This is an improper usage of the term. Dictionaries define necromancy as “conjuring up spirits” or “communication with the spirits of the dead in order to foretell the future, black magic or sorcery.” When Catholics pray to saints, we do not “conjure up” spirits or tell fortunes. In fact, the Catholic Church is in complete agreement with the Bible when it condemns consulting “mediums” and “wizards.” As man, Jesus spoke to Elijah and Moses. We are to follow Jesus’ lead.

I watched a video of a Christian pastor standing outside a very big Roman Catholic church in the US. He was asking those entering and exiting what is required to enter heaven and do they know if they are going there. NONE of them had any idea what was needed in order to be saved. None could answer either question. It seems they need to shovel all the hocus pocus out and start to actually read what the Bible says. The religion, dogma, ritual, statues, monotonous repetitions, bowing, making cross signs, smelly smoke, bowls of water and the rest is of no value if you do not know the basic gospel on what must you do to be saved. the Bible doesn't call for any of that hocus pocus.
I agree with you completely many Catholics have no idea But many didn’t understand Jesus either Many didn’t understand Apostles either Is that make Jesus and Apostles bad teachers or false prophets or even devil worshipers or what ever name you guys use today or people since day one constantly SINNING including yourself and that is their problem I agree But your problem is blindness that if you have done all that and know Bible inside out, you should know that there is no “hoccus poccus” here, but all biblical truth and YOU should see or understand everything we believe Compare that with Church Father’s and see who’s follow Bible and who’s follow pastors or men And you should read and study what we believe before you say anything or call it with those names Because brother if you call your self Christian and saying those things think again because you obviously have no idea neither about bible nor Apostolic Tradition nor Jesus nor His Church and those people don’t know theories but many have faith so they don’t know and they admit that, but you think you know but you don’t, so I’m sorry but think about this please I’m sorry if I’m harsh was not my intentions God bless
@@wakeupcall8188 As I have seen and heard people pray to Mary when I have gone into RC churches, I find that wrong for a start. I know, Im told every time they aren't doing it but seeing and hearing it for myself doesn't alter what I see or hear. Calling priests father gets me. The Bible says not to quite clearly. they are NOT my father, especially some pope. All true believers are called saints in the Bible. they do not need to be made up by the church. Its done already. I am still looking for purgatory in the Bible. People paying priests to say things to get them out from there is also hard to find in the Bible...…….. and it goes on. Yes you are right. I prefer the Bible to what men teach. Jesus is head of the church. He is the only sinless man ever. He is our only mediator, He is High Priest, God the Father is the Holy Father and my faith in Jesus is the only thing that will get me to heaven as I can never do anything good enough. If men or churches want to add to all that or deny it, they can have it. I do not need it as the Bible says what is needed. no need for priests and ritual. others can play with it if they wish but it is not Biblical.
plume2035 Ok brother I understand and we do pray to Mary, who said we don’t, BUT NOT THE WAY YOU THINK WE DO So again lack of knowledge, lack of charity, lack of spit of truth, plenty of ignorance is a problem here again and always has been I haven’t met or heard one person who knew everything about us, what we believe, how we worship God, what we teach, and still hates us, in fact they convert, because they can not ignore truth anymore - So main problem is your understanding of Christ Catholic Church and Apostles and Church Father’s and teachings that Church teach and Mary is one of them 1. We don’t pray to God and Mary same way “I pray you to pray for my family “ I ask you, I even beg you because you are alive and I know you can help, Same with Mary she’s alive with God and her prayers as righteous are greater then ours ( from Bible) and if you could do more tomorrow then yesterday to go closer to God, would you do it 2. Mary is, after Jesus, only sinless, why, because -God could not be in anything dirty, if she was sinner she would be destroyed in pregnancy, God wouldn’t even do it but you see my point -Mary said yes and Eve said no to God - Mary is Mother of God Mary is Queen of heaven because Jesus is the Kind of Kings - Mary is new Ark of Covenant because - Old one has Manna from desert New one had Jesus, Bread of Life - Old one have Ten commandments written word of God Mary had living Word of God inside of her womb -Old one had stuff of Aaron New one had High Priest Himself inside So as you see all this is Bible and scriptural but is led by Holy Spirit to really understand God, His Love and his vision of family and unity on earth and in heaven, not by hate, to ruin, or gossip and attack my brethren before I know what one believes and even talk I do big of her WE ARE STILL NOT worshiping her but we acknowledge reality and you can use what ever word you prefer to have pictures clear but she’s not god, or goddess, to us, that’s a heresy that Church had to deal with in begging, nor we taking something from Christ and give to Mary So are we clear here now 2. Word Father and your guys objection to it is ideal example how wrong you guys are, how shallow you guys read bible and your understanding of it or the one who thought you Why, well 1. word father in that context of Jesus’s meaning was mentioned together with teacher and master and accidentally or not, those two word are never mentioned and are ok to use 2. Jesus sayythat if I think that my father is my origin then NO ONE shouldn call anyone father Same for master and teacher because like you said we can not do anything without God 3. After that occasion Jesus Himself use those words Apostles and disciples use those words And obviously they either contradict themselves or did not mean that way you guys understand because Jesus would contradict everything God the Father was saying about Abraham, Moses in OT Apostles what Jesus was teacher in NT and from OT So if you go to 1 Corinthians 4:15-17 15 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. 16 I urge you, then, be imitators of me. 17 Therefore I sent to you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church. That is exactly what we believe teach and use that term for So I’ll answer all of them including purgatory so you don’t have to keep looking but let’s do one by one please if you are genuine If not don’t bother to answer God bless
Faith Plus Nothing Praise be to Jesus and Mary I hope that you will see that there is no easier way to say this and that I’m saying this in all humility and in hope you will understand me properly Brother you were never Catholic but you have only that title or you felt that you are Same way that one is not Christian either, because one follows Christ a just a little bit or not at all but call himself a Christian and is not in fullness of truth Real Catholics will never leave the faith because, they see Christ in all His glory, are real Christians and recognise fullness of truth in Christ and Catholic Faith and only Church that Christ established And I’m not “defending” name here brothers because you are proof name doesn’t save or keep you with Christ nor means anything, but I’m defending Christ, His Church, Bible, Apostolic Tradition of 2000 year of love,suffering and sacrifice to spread Gospel and die for Christ While some people in history because lack of Christ, knowledge or will to know, in them, will a lot of pride arrogance and ignorance, could not see that and start building feel good religious organisations, creating their own Christ and interpretation of bible to take people away from real Christ Brother this is for now I’ll answer just this in hope we understanding each other If you want I’ll answer everything else but let’s do one thing at the time Because i don’t wanna argue or give you back “your presents” like people do here I wanna talk to you and show you the truth through Christ Bible and Church Father’s God bless brother
PART 1 So I hope we understood each other, and I hope I'll show you why, just from your comments, you were not catholic,- "But instead of going through the motions, I went on a hunt to seek truth many years ago.", So what motions, Real catholic don't do that, they are in peace, love, patience, humility, and in THE TRUTH, with Christ and everyone else, so you don't have to go search for it. Its in Christ and we are in Him I can understand that you didn't "FEEL" Christ, or many things, but if you have understood Bible and how God builds up His saints, you would see, that's temporarily and normal, and that fact should tells you that you did not know your faith, and for that reason were not catholic in reality, just in the name, and that my brother its not enough, So instead, going to search truth somewhere else, you should check, learn, study, research, around you first, then others, then compare, then pray a lot, fast, check all spirits that guides you and then stay or go.I was an atheist and "felt" God or something "more" but went wrong way, following emotions and feelings. basically myself, only when I have touched bottom as lukewarm catholic and became 'Born again Catholic", crying my heart out with complete surrender to God's will, and Christ took everything bad in me literally over one night, and woken up Holy Spirit in me, who pour many gifts mainly, instant knowledge, understanding, wisdom, prophecy, i could understand all this, in instant, talk about, seeing Christ the way he is, not that was hard or something before, but devil blinds us, our pride and ignorance, prevents us to see Christ, and everything He did and established, then i started learning and comparing and Catholic Church is only Church, (together with Ortodox's), that Christ established, because if nothing else, just for one reason, What bible says Church Fathers did, (because Bible came from them) and what they do, we do today, (because we follow Bible and Bible came from Church), Holy Mass, Eucharist to start with and all other sacraments - ""I went in with a totally open mind, no pre-conceived notions" So if your mind were open you would see truth around you, at the first place, and you did have pre-conceived notions, because you assumed that you did not know, or had truth, which started you up, to search, so again if you were real Catholic you would see and know truth, because you would be in truth, I hope you see that - "Honestly, it would’ve been much easier to just stay Catholic" This brother is not just "funny" but concerning as well- Because being real catholic is hardest thing to be, just ask all the Saints, past and present, real holy people, priest, monks, nuns and if you are saying that now, in state you are, then brother im really worried about you because you are not in right state, and proofs again that you were not rea catholic- "And I don’t mean any offense, but there were many things that struck me as contradictory practice in the church compared to what the Bible says" Brother, thanks I'm not offended or upset and I do understand you completely, i see when they do that and I honestly hope for same. So relationship Church - Bible, I've already explained and only problem there brother is your understanding of Church and Bible. - "I never learned the true gospel until I left" Galatians 1:6-8 6 I am astounded that you should be so quick to desert one who called you to the grace of Christ, and go over to another gospel; 7 this can only mean, that certain people are causing disquiet among you, in their eagerness to pervert the gospel of Christ.[1] 8 Friends, though it were we ourselves, though it were an angel from heaven that should preach to you a gospel other than the gospel we preached to you, a curse upon him! 9 I repeat now the warning we gave you before it happened, if anyone preaches to you what is contrary to the tradition you received, a curse upon him! So Catholic Church, through Holy Spirit, gave you this Gospel and you left, so do the math, and if you gonna tell me its not Catholic Church, read Church Fathers, History of Church, for instance, St Ignatius, disciple of John The Apostle and compere that with Bible, Catholic Church and yourself, and you'll seeAlso your statement contradicts your claims and itself really, i understand you see that now, but what start moving, was not truth because you cant know its there until you find it, and you wont start to search because you don't know its there, unless you assume, its there which contradicts you claims, and proof that you did not have truthI hope you see that "We are saved through Jesus blood alone. There are more verses than I can count that say this" Brother I see your point and meaning, and we kind of agree with that, but By His Blood we are bought, and in sense saved, but We are saved by Grace of God alone which includes His Blood, and if you knew yous faith, you would know that Church is teaching that since day of Christ and not by works what yo assume, we teach, you just go and read catechism and you will see and will be proven to you once for all, so we finish this subject and you don't believe that lie about us any more, if you did that as catholic that was you personal interpretation or understanding or upbringing, but not teaching of Catholic Church, sorry brother but it wasWe say and teach that faith without works is dead and that is what you say where works comes from, so we agree there
@Patrick Montgomery The Holy Spirit = The Father's Spirit The Man Jesus = The Father's Flesh The One God of All = The Father of the spirits and the flesh
@Patrick Montgomery Hello Patrick, Read these: Zechariah 12:1, 10 An oracle. The word of Yahweh concerning Israel. “Thus declares Yahweh, who stretches out the heavens, founds the earth, and forms the spirit of humankind in its midst: “‘I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication, and *they will look to me whom they pierced,* and _they shall mourn over him, as one wails over _*_an only child,_*_ and they will grieve bitterly over him as one grieves bitterly over _*_a firstborn._* John 14:8-9 Philip said to him, _“Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”_ Jesus said to him, *“Am I with you so long a time and you have not known me, Philip?* The one who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, ‘Show us the Father?’ Isaiah 9:6 For a child has been born for us; a son has been given to us. And the dominion will be on his shoulder, and his name is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, *Everlasting Father,* Prince of Peace. The Father came into creation by His Holy Spirit and became The Son, who is The Father Himself: Hebrews 1:8-12 But concerning the Son [The Father says], “Your throne, *O God,* is forever and ever, and the scepter of righteous is the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; because of this *God,* _your God,_ has anointed you with the olive oil of joy more than your companions. And, “You, *Lord,* _laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,_ and _the heavens are the works of your hands;_ they will perish, but you continue, and they will all become old like a garment, and like a robe you will roll them up, and like a garment they will be changed; but _you are the same, and your years will not run out.”_ The Father in flesh form = The Son.

Plus he goes around copy pasting false doctrine to keep people from seeking the truth, he doing the Satan's work under YAHs name......
@@brandonhuggins1949 if you read nebuchadnezzars dream interpreted by Daniel and realize that the 2 legs of Satan's kingdom on earth are the roman catholic church and the Greek orthodox church.....they are the gates of hell that have always killed the Christian saints with the true revelation or faith So it does fit the definition of a cult because they are mass murderers just like Islam
cult - noun "A system of formal religious veneration or devotion directed toward a particular figure or object. A religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious. Religious sects that take part in sinister practices & demonstrations. A group requiring unwavering devotion that is considered deviant (outside the norms of society), and typically led by a charismatic and often self-appointed leader." Psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton, who once taught at Harvard Medical School, wrote a paper titled Cult Formation in the early 1980s. He delineated three primary characteristics: 1. A charismatic leader, who increasingly becomes an object of worship as the general principles that may have originally sustained the group lose power. That is a living leader, who has no meaningful accountability and becomes the single most defining element of the group and its source of power and authority. 2. A process [of indoctrination or education is in use that can be seen as] coercive persuasion or thought reform [commonly called "brainwashing"]. The culmination of this process can be seen by members of the group often doing things that are not in their own best interest, but consistently in the best interest of the group and its leader. 3. Economic, sexual, and other exploitation of group members by the leader and the ruling coterie.
Max yes I’ve read that. But God said when you go into the land do not worship the way the pagans do. The seven feast were set as prophetic memorials most have been fulfilled Passover promises the messiah and his redemptive work on the cross, the feast of trumpets for Christ’s return also tabernacles proclaims the thousand year rein. These feasts are set by God. Christmas and Easter are not established by Yahweh. They are from pagan origins as the lecturer is talking about Babylonian religion. Jesus was born during Passover and crucified on Passover. Why not celebrate his birthday and his crusifixtion one the holiday God had set it up. I’m god poured his spirit out on the feast of Pentecost. Jesus said he only does what the father does shouldn’t we if God our father said everlasting memorial why has the church ended it and replaced it with these evil holidays that was started to worship false God’s. I can look in the Bible and find scripture that God said to do. Even Jesus said he had to go to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. Can you show me we’re Jesus said to celebrate Easter or Christmas with there false God foundation and tradition. Jesus said the traditions of men make the gospel of no effect.
Yep. Christmas, Easter, and some evening do stuff for Halloween! I’m not sure about New Years but I know churches who hold services for that, that go until a lil past midnight.
@Random Person I dont deny God sent his son to die for our sins but the name Jesus Christ doesnt appear until the Roman catholic church. His name was and is Yeshua.
Random Person Jesus was talking about Himself. Jesus is the cornerstone, the capstone the builders rejected. He was not talking about building His church on simple Peter. Only Jesus saves.
Did James Arrabito say that Nimrod was the first Pontifex Maximus? Help me out. Also, some have said that Simon Magus was the first pope, in that he was headman of a purportedly Christian state religion while he was the chiefest god of Rome for a while.
TRU KEESEY----All historians, the Encyclopedia Brittanica, Wikipedia and all Books of Lists, after serious research into the early church, the bible, those that were taught by the Apostles and regular history state that Peter WAS THE FIRST POPE ! Research is the job of these people ! ! !
@@1234poppycat --Mary's "special role" was to bring forth the Christ child and raise Him to manhood. Once Jesus began His Ministry (which you will NEVER see an "adult" statue of Christ in a Catholic church - except still on the cross - where He is NOT) Jesus when refereed to her as "Woman"..as is clearly written in the story of the wedding where Christ performed His first miracle - changing water into wine. Mary is awaiting the Resurrection as all those who have 'fallen asleep in Christ' before and after her. Neither is she "co-Redeemer". The Bible is clear that Jesus alone is the ONLY way to the Father. Lifting up Mary in ANY way the RCC does is no different than worship. Been there, done that. Former Catholic of 32 years.
@@TheMistysFavs YOU = Neither is she ( Mary ) "co-Redeemer". ME = The reason why Jesus incarnated was to redeem the effects caused by Adam and Eve's disobedience The Bible and OT begins with the = Fall = in the Garden of Eden of the man Adam who was given the directive by God to not eat of the forbidden =TREE= Gen 2;17. Eve, on the other hand, must have learned of this directive from Adam. The result of the Fall was to render the ground cursed and Adam and Eve dismissed from the garden Eden. The NT begins with the birth and = Rise = of Jesus, the spiritual Adam =1 Corinthians 15:21-23 = , who redeems man by His death on the TREE ( cross ) and is then buried in the Garden. What the Bible does = not = state is that God slammed the gates of Heaven shut after the Fall because Adam and Eve had taken on the nature of the devil. For when confronted by God, Adam blamed God = the woman YOU gave me = Adam also blamed Eve. Eve likewise blamed the devil ( serpent ). Instead of asking forgiveness from God who walked with them = Gen. 3:8, they played the Blame Game as children of the devil = 1 John 3:8 = and thus God had no option but to expel them from Eden and made them and their descendants ineligible for Heaven, through = Original Sin. This Original Sin is what Jesus came to pay by His death and shed Blood, as well as reverse God's curse on the ground. Thus the TREE which was the downfall of mankind now became the symbol = the Cross = of man's redemption. And the Garden where Jesus' body was laid now became the symbol of man's eligibility to Heavenly Paradise and thus has reversed the shame of his ousting from Eden and the reversal of the cursed ground. Third, the Fall of humankind began when Eve listened to and obeyed the = Fallen ANGEL =who is the devil. On the other hand, Mary listened and agreed with the = ANGEL = Gabriel to be the mother of Jesus who became the Redeemer. by His death on the TREE of the Cross. . Catholics thus believe that Eve brought about the Fall, whereas Mary contributed to the Rise of Mankind and have no problem in calling Mary = Co-Redeemer. ================ Fourth, after Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, God called out to Adam = only = and he replied = I heard you in the garden, but I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself = Gen.3:10. On the other hand, when Jesus, the spiritual Adam, was nailed to the Tree, He was rendered naked = John 19:23 = with no way to hide.
@@TheMistysFavsYOU = Mary is awaiting the Resurrection as all those who have 'fallen asleep in Christ' before and after her. ME = Catholics believe in a = Living = God and life after death. Here are 3 cases First. At Jesus' transfiguration, Moses & Elijah were seen talking with Him. In OT, Elijah had been bodily carried to Heaven, Moses had died. When Peter volunteered to build tents, he was obviously seeing them each in bodily form. So there IS life after death. Second. When Jesus spoke in Parables, He used fictitious figures in His teaching moments like the Prodigal Son, Father & Brother who had no names. However, in the Living Account of the Rich Man(RM) and Beggar Lazarus(BL) - Luke 16:19-31-, the historical Abraham and the BL were named while Jesus did not "care to remember '' the RM's name. In this Parable, Jesus declared that both the RM & BL had died, had been judged and assigned to their places - BL carried by Angels to Abraham's bosom, the RM sent to a place of torment. Despite being dead, there was a request for intercession by the RM to Father Abraham for his brothers. This is the second case of Life after Death, and both cases involve Jesus. Third, in Genesis 5:24 = we read that Enoch walked with God, and he was no longer here, for God took him Mary walked with Jesus from His conception to the time of His public ministry and was at the foot of the Cross. Did God take her ? Humanly speaking, we all love and " adore " our Mothers - not worship them. Jesus loved perfectly and also " adored " His Mother. Jesus also commanded us to love as He loved, so Catholics love and honour Mary who is as living as Jesus, Moses, Enoch & Abraham. In her varied apparitions, she calls for prayer, penance and love of her Son, Jesus. (Check the Internet for Mary's picture over a Coptic church in Zeitoun, Egypt for 3 years in 1968-71). On Judgment Day, it will go well for Catholics who loved and honoured His Mother. Protestants will not be so blessed. Catholics believe in a Living God for whom all people are alive, not dead. Catholics not only believe but also are sure that Mary is alive for she has appeared in many places and at different times to many people. - By their fruits you will know them -. Mary has pointed her followers to imitate Jesus - Do whatever He tells you. In 1917, she appeared to 3 children in Fatima, Portugal and urged the following prayer - O my Jesus, forgive our sins, save us from the fires of Hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy. - ( This is a prayer that no demon would urge ). At Fatima, she promised beforehand a miracle, and later on in the same year in October 1917 she fulfilled it which is known as The Miracle of the Sun ( you can view more info on the Internet ) She also appeared at Guadalupe, present day Mexico City - in December 1531, and converted and stopped the people from practicing child sacrifice. ( Note : At Guadalupe, Mary's photo was miraculously imprinted on the native man's Tilma - or cloak - which was made of cactus fibres, that normally has a life expectancy of 50 years at the most. However it is almost 500 years later and that Tilma is still intact and kept in the shrine just outside Mexico City ) Mary has been appearing in Medjugorje, Bosnia to 6 people, then teenagers in the 1980's, and still is. Her constant message and urging is to pray and fast for the conversion of sinners. I have personally visited that place and met one of them, and am totally convinced of her - she is a married woman now - sincerity. So if you do not believe that Jesus will send His mother to visit us, - no necromancy here - then you are the poorer for it. Note - In all her appearances, Mary has been seen and described as a beautiful lady - sometimes sad when she urged prayers for sinners - also glad at times, but mostly as a concerned human mother. Necromancy is the demon spirits imitating the voices of the dead, but who make no appearance. Later, the demons demand payment for their " services'' usually in multiplication of the value of such service. Mary, on the other hand, only asks for prayers for the conversion of sinners. In Lourdes, France one can see the dozens of walking canes left by grateful clients who requested her intercession and were able to walk after. In Montreal, at St Joseph's Oratory, there are also a multitude of canes and walking sticks also left behind by clients grateful for St Joseph's intercession.
Old Testament (Septuagint) 2 Macc. 12:41-45 In the New Testament 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 and Matthew 5:25-26, 12:31-32. Acts of Paul and Thecla “And after the exhibition, Tryphaena again received her [Thecla]. For her daughter Falconilla had died, and said to her in a dream: ‘Mother, you shall have this stranger Thecla in my place, in order that she may pray concerning me, and that I may be transferred to the place of the righteous’” (Acts of Paul and Thecla [A.D. 160]). Abercius “The citizen of a prominent city, I erected this while I lived, that I might have a resting place for my body. Abercius is my name, a disciple of the chaste Shepherd who feeds his sheep on the mountains and in the fields, who has great eyes surveying everywhere, who taught me the faithful writings of life. Standing by, I, Abercius, ordered this to be inscribed: Truly, I was in my seventy-second year. May everyone who is in accord with this and who understands it pray for Abercius” (Epitaph of Abercius [A.D. 190]). The Martyrdom of Perpetua and Felicity “[T]hat very night, this was shown to me in a vision: I [Perpetua] saw Dinocrates going out from a gloomy place, where also there were several others, and he was parched and very thirsty, with a filthy countenance and pallid color, and the wound on his face which he had when he died. This Dinocrates had been my brother after the flesh, seven years of age, who died miserably with disease. . . . For him I had made my prayer, and between him and me there was a large interval, so that neither of us could approach to the other . . . and [I] knew that my brother was in suffering. But I trusted that my prayer would bring help to his suffering. . . . I made my prayer for my brother day and night, groaning and weeping that he might be granted to me. Then, on the day on which we remained in fetters, this was shown to me: I saw that the place which I had formerly observed to be in gloom was now bright; and Dinocrates, with a clean body well clad, was finding refreshment. . . . [And] he went away from the water to play joyously, after the manner of children, and I awoke. Then I understood that he was translated from the place of punishment” (The Martyrdom of Perpetua and Felicity 2:3-4 [A.D. 202]). Tertullian “We offer sacrifices for the dead on their birthday anniversaries [the date of death-birth into eternal life]” (The Crown 3:3 [A.D. 211]). “A woman, after the death of her husband . . . prays for his soul and asks that he may, while waiting, find rest; and that he may share in the first resurrection. And each year, on the anniversary of his death, she offers the sacrifice” (Monogamy 10:1-2 [A.D. 216]). Cyril of Jerusalem “Then we make mention also of those who have already fallen asleep: first, the patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and martyrs, that through their prayers and supplications God would receive our petition; next, we make mention also of the holy fathers and bishops who have already fallen asleep, and, to put it simply, of all among us who have already fallen asleep, for we believe that it will be of very great benefit to the souls of those for whom the petition is carried up, while this holy and most solemn sacrifice is laid out” (Catechetical Lectures 23:5:9 [A.D. 350]). Gregory of Nyssa “If a man distinguish in himself what is peculiarly human from that which is irrational, and if he be on the watch for a life of greater urbanity for himself, in this present life he will purify himself of any evil contracted, overcoming the irrational by reason. If he has inclined to the irrational pressure of the passions, using for the passions the cooperating hide of things irrational, he may afterward in a quite different manner be very much interested in what is better, when, after his departure out of the body, he gains knowledge of the difference between virtue and vice and finds that he is not able to partake of divinity until he has been purged of the filthy contagion in his soul by the purifying fire” (Sermon on the Dead [A.D. 382]). John Chrysostom “Let us help and commemorate them. If Job’s sons were purified by their father’s sacrifice [Job 1:5], why would we doubt that our offerings for the dead bring them some consolation? Let us not hesitate to help those who have died and to offer our prayers for them” (Homilies on First Corinthians 41:5 [A.D. 392]). “Weep for those who die in their wealth and who with all their wealth prepared no consolation for their own souls, who had the power to wash away their sins and did not will to do it. Let us weep for them, let us assist them to the extent of our ability, let us think of some assistance for them, small as it may be, yet let us somehow assist them. But how, and in what way? By praying for them and by entreating others to pray for them, by constantly giving alms to the poor on their behalf. Not in vain was it decreed by the apostles that in the awesome mysteries remembrance should be made of the departed. They knew that here there was much gain for them, much benefit. When the entire people stands with hands uplifted, a priestly assembly, and that awesome sacrificial Victim is laid out, how, when we are calling upon God, should we not succeed in their defense? But this is done for those who have departed in the faith, while even the catechumens are not reckoned as worthy of this consolation, but are deprived of every means of assistance except one. And what is that? We may give alms to the poor on their behalf” (Homilies on Philippians 3:9-10 [A.D. 402]). Augustine “There is an ecclesiastical discipline, as the faithful know, when the names of the martyrs are read aloud in that place at the altar of God, where prayer is not offered for them. Prayer, however, is offered for other dead who are remembered. It is wrong to pray for a martyr, to whose prayers we ought ourselves be commended” (Sermons 159:1 [A.D. 411]). “But by the prayers of the holy Church, and by the salvific sacrifice, and by the alms which are given for their spirits, there is no doubt that the dead are aided, that the Lord might deal more mercifully with them than their sins would deserve. The whole Church observes this practice which was handed down by the Fathers: that it prays for those who have died in the communion of the Body and Blood of Christ, when they are commemorated in their own place in the sacrifice itself; and the sacrifice is offered also in memory of them, on their behalf. If, then, works of mercy are celebrated for the sake of those who are being remembered, who would hesitate to recommend them, on whose behalf prayers to God are not offered in vain? It is not at all to be doubted that such prayers are of profit to the dead; but for such of them as lived before their death in a way that makes it possible for these things to be useful to them after death” (ibid., 172:2). “Temporal punishments are suffered by some in this life only, by some after death, by some both here and hereafter, but all of them before that last and strictest judgment. But not all who suffer temporal punishments after death will come to eternal punishments, which are to follow after that judgment” (The City of God 21:13 [A.D. 419]). “That there should be some fire even after this life is not incredible, and it can be inquired into and either be discovered or left hidden whether some of the faithful may be saved, some more slowly and some more quickly in the greater or lesser degree in which they loved the good things that perish, through a certain purgatorial fire” (Handbook on Faith, Hope, and Charity 18:69 [A.D. 421]). “The time which interposes between the death of a man and the final resurrection holds souls in hidden retreats, accordingly as each is deserving of rest or of hardship, in view of what it merited when it was living in the flesh. Nor can it be denied that the souls of the dead find relief through the piety of their friends and relatives who are still alive, when the Sacrifice of the Mediator [Mass] is offered for them, or when alms are given in the Church. But these things are of profit to those who, when they were alive, merited that they might afterward be able to be helped by these things. There is a certain manner of living, neither so good that there is no need of these helps after death, nor yet so wicked that these helps are of no avail after death” (ibid., 29:109). Man, don’t you hate when the Bible and the early Church Fathers (Before the 7th Century) show that you have no idea what you are talking about and are a false prophet sent to turn people away from the One True Church.

You are a confused fello.
The best Bibles are the - Red Letter Bibles - so named because they have the words of Jesus printed in Red. Why Red ? Because Red is the colour associated with Danger. Therefore to ignore Jesus' words will cause danger to one's salvation.
For Jesus was - Sent - by The Father to teach us the way, truth and life to Heaven and thus bears the authority as well as the heart and mind of God for our salvation. And Jesus has been assigned - ALL - judgement = John 5:22, so will obviously judge us by His words and actions.
The 4 Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, record Jesus' messages that speak of Tough Love - If you love Me, keep My commandments - and - If you wish to be My disciple, take up your Cross daily, deny yourself and follow Me - and - More - is expected of Christians to whom much has been entrusted - Luke 12:48. ,
Moreover, on the very day of His resurrection from the dead, Jesus - empowered His Apostles to forgive sins - or - retain them - John 20:22-23.
Previously, Jesus commanded us to - Eat My Flesh, Drink My Blood - for - Eternal Life = John 6:53-58.
And, Jesus' Parables are often prefaced with - the kingdom of Heaven - or - the Reign of God - and require us to multiply our talents, become more fruitful " soil " as well as become wise virgins carrying oil
Sadly, Protestants have ignored Jesus' tough Love messages, and instead have " cherry-picked " some of the passages from other than the 4 Gospels, thus jeopardizing their salvation.
Is the Bible the only source of Christian belief ??
The Bible is, historically, a dated book as it records only to the 1st Century. Thus we read only the deaths of Judas and James but not about the other 10 Apostles or of Paul as to when, where and how they died. Does it mean that, because their deaths are not recorded, that they are still alive ?? Obviously not. Paul declares the Bible - useful and profitable - in 2 Timothy 3:16, but that the Church is the Bulwark and Pillar of Truth - 1 Timothy 3:15. That is because the Church, the community of Believers, came first - Matthew 16:18 - and incorporates both the written word as well as the oral tradition - 2 Thessalonians 2:15.
And the Bible declares that Jesus did a world of works - John 21:25. As a result 2 traditions ensued - oral and written - 2 Thess. 2:15 - which are of equal merit. By "Sola Scriptura" Protestants are only receiving part of Divine Truth thus resulting in so many denominations.
The Catholic Church was founded on Peter's declaration of Jesus' Divinity - Matt. 16:16 and holds to both traditions. It is the Church of the Living God and the Pillar and Bulwark of Truth - 1 Timothy 3:15 . Plus it has Jesus' guarantee - Matthew 16:18 - I will build my= Church; = and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it
Why does the Catholic Church follow non-Biblical traditions ??
For the better part of 2 to 3 Centuries after Christ's Ascension, there was - NO - Bible as we know it
Let's look at some historical facts. Christ died between 30 and 40 AD. The earliest Gospels, Matthew and Mark, were written after 70 AD. The last book of the Bible, Revelation, was written by John within the last 2 decades of the 1st Century. Pauls' missionary journeys were around 48 to 60 AD. The greater part of the NT -Muratorian Canon - was probably compiled in 180 AD, whereas the Bible as we know it, was compiled much later. This means that, for the most part of the first 2 to 3 centuries after Christ's Ascension, there was no complete Bible, and as a result the Oral Tradition was the guiding force of the early Christians.
Moreover, before Guttenberg invented the Printing Press in the 15th C, the Bible was laboriously copied by hand by - Catholic - clergy and monks. It wasn't done by the rich who had other preoccupations, nor by the poor who did not possess the learning - nor by Protestants or other non-Catholics. Also, Catholic St. Jerome, who who lived in the 4th Century, was the first to translate the then existing Greek and Hebrew versions into Latin - the common language of the day- called the Vulgate Bible.. Thus it was Catholics and Catholicism that produced the Bible
The Catholic Church was founded on Peter's declaration of Jesus' Divinity - Matt. 16:16 and Jesus' promise - Matt 16:17-19- and holds to both traditions. It is the Church of the Living God and the Pillar and Bulwark of Truth - 1 Timothy 3:15 . Plus it has Jesus' guarantee - Matthew 16:18 - I will build my= Church; = and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it
You were teaching catechism without knowing that you were Christian? I feel very sorry for your poor students.
As a cradle catholic, educated by them thru high school, I always wondered why the beads candles and indulgences, long robes and rituals were such a part of my church. I have long been away from it once I read Gods Word and tossed out man’s word. Thank you for sharing this!
Letting Scripture Speak My friend in Christ, I know Catholicism backwards and forwards. But their gospel of salvation is completely wrong. It is awful to think that Christ didn’t pay for all of our sins, and that somehow humans must purge their own, too. When I heard a priest recently tell me he “hoped” that he was going to heaven, I was not only shocked, I was saddened by the fact he had been told things in error. If you place works and grace alongside each other, one invalidates the other. Grace is never merited. I also have investigated extensively the early church history, and have learned facts Catholics either don’t want to know or just prefer to believe the magisterium. I came to a profound realization that belonging to any particular church does not “save” you as I was taught growing up. Paul warned us in the first few years after Christ’s sacrifice that we should not follow certain men like Apollo or Ceohas(Peter) or even himself. It is Jesus Christ our only mediator who has saved me completely. (1 Tim 2:5). Praying to any other non deity created human being who has died in order to provide any mediation or intervention, therefore, is idolatry at best.
Letting Scripture Speak What do the sacraments give? What are indulgences? What was or is the scapular? Why pray to created human beings who have died for anything when Christ is our only Mediator? It is about the truth of God’s Word. I must have a reliable gold standard. If tradition is contrary to Scripture, it must be discarded. I think that’s where Catholicism went off the rails. For centuries, it persecuted (killed) those who tried to bring the Bible to the masses, saying it was the only qualified entity to interpret them. I’m so happy not to have lived then. Lol.
The decrees from the council of Trent actually solidified most of my reasons for not staying in that denomination. Unbelief in Purgatory, and the fact that faith need not be accompanied by works for salvation were said to be an anathema.Same with transubstantiation, indulgences and celibacy.
So, you fell away, due to your ignorance. You think you know about Catholicism, but you don't.
@@mrearly2 what about my comments are wrong? Why do you think the RCC papacy retains pagan symbols? Beads, candles, sun symbols, the vestments worn ( fish of Dagon), and pineapples, one on his staff and a very large one at the Vatican. So you don’t believe in the Treasury of merit or talismans like the scapular or indulgences? And why is Mary, a sinful, created human being given attributes only belonging to God? And why do you sacrifice Christ over and over on altars around the world as if you get more salvation grace from attending when scripture clearly states His sacrifice was “once for all”. Anytime a dead female is “served”, worshipped, venerated in the Bible, it is an idol and those who served her were punished severely by God. Isn’t that interesting she was called the “Queen of Heaven? And why does scripture conflict with tradition in so many instances? Why are all believers referred to as saints and not voted into a special hall of fame? Why is Jesus the only high priest of the Order of Melchizedek and all believers a royal priesthood? We need no human mediators as Jesus is our ONLY mediator. The RCC teaches (like with idols) each saint has his/her own area of sovereignty? So many traditional teachings that have usurped the true gospel. The Eucharist actually changing into another substance is all meant to be spiritual unity with Christ to be done “in remembrance”. No human can call Almighty God to stay in a place made of human hands at the command of a ritualistic sacrifice that should never be reproduced in an unbloody or bloody way. This video is historically correct. How do you think Constantine was able to convince pagan Rome to accept Christianity? Research this instead of denying anything that goes against RCC tradition.
@Curtis MH
"kk doc my friend. This video is full of crap. Talk to a priest. It’s never a good idea to learn about Catholicism from an anti-Catholic. "
kk doc my friend. This video is full of crap. Talk to an SS soldier. It’s never a good idea to learn about Nazism from an anti-Nazi.
Great advice, Curtis. I didn't learn about Catholicism from anti-Catholics. I learned by searching for answers that Catholics couldn't answer, like why are their dogmas not found in scripture. Of course they tell me the "early church fathers" always believed blah, blah, blah and point out "traditions". Here’s the problem, immediately! We really don’t need to look past the church at Ephesus to disprove this. The church of Ephesus was founded by the apostle Paul, who lived among the people at Ephesus for at least 3 years. Despite its having apostolic influence of bishops and overseers that were appointed by a confirmed apostle, we see this same church being rebuked by Jesus himself in Revelation, chapter 2. Why? Because they deviated from God’s word as well as deviated from any tradition they may have received.
Revelation 2:1-7
Message to Ephesus
1 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:
The One who holds the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks among the seven golden lampstands, says this:
2 ‘I know your deeds and your labor and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil people, and you have put those who call themselves apostles to the test, and they are not, and you found them to be false; 3 and you have perseverance and have endured on account of My name, and have not become weary. 4 But I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Therefore, remember from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and I will remove your lampstand from its place-unless you repent. 6 But you have this, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will grant to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.’
If they had been appointed elders by an apostle then they had been entrusted to carry on this tradition so the fact that they were being rebuked by Jesus shows us that whatever tradition that they might have received was no guarantee that they were going to continue in it so what is the authority? The written word. It is always only the final court of appeal for Jesus, and the apostles, always.
SOLA SCRIPTURA my friend. If we followed scripture only, [2 Tim. 3:16] we wouldn't be having this conversation. Tell me Sola Scriptura isn't found and Scripture and I'll point out the Trinity, Omniscience, Omnipotence and Omnipresence. God bless you man. ;)
i am a Roman catholic by birth and left the catholic church at the age of 43 yrs after reading bible the word of god. now i am a pastor. Thanks for the clear cut message on pagan roman catholism. The present Bible that is catholic Bible or any other denomination Bible are incomplete. There are other left over books which has to be read. Roman catholic is from Babylonians to Egyptians to Romans. That is where Roman catholic is and at present. This is against the Bible. Full of idol worship.
There are 2 versions of Jesus = the Protestant version - and - the Catholic Biblical version.
God is able to do all things. Jesus could have remained in Heaven and forgiven our sins, opened Heaven's gates to all, and did not have to come down to earth and live as one of us and die a cruel death. However, God goes to = extremes = to prove His love for us. But God has - expectations - and requires - More - from Christians because we have the perfect example of Jesus - Luke 12:48
From God's Expectations, Commandments and Testing come our guarantee of - eternal - salvation and Heavenly rewards.
Jesus defined a Christian - Must take up your Cross daily, deny yourself and follow Me - Matthew 16:24.
Jesus fasted - superhumanly - 40 days/nights. He dismissed Satan who mocked Him for fasting when He could have all the bread to eat - Matt. 4.
Later, Jesus rebuked Peter as Satan when Peter tried to dissuade Jesus from His path of sufferings and death.- Matthew 16:23.
And Jesus did not take the sour wine offered to Him whilst on the Cross to deaden the pain.
Moreover, Jesus did a World of Works - John 21:25.
Even Paul, like a faithful Christian= boasted =of the Cross -Galatians 6:14
, Christian Rule of Thumb is that if anything is hard/difficult, it is from God. On the other hand, if it is -easy - it is not from God
The fact is that there are Catholics who leave the Faith because they say it has too many rules and regulations. Of course, they don't realize it is that rules and regulations are like Commandments which were God-issued so that these create a - safe - boundary beyond which the devil, like a roaring lion, is prowling about seeking to devour.
On the other hand, Protestantism has no rules and regulations, no requirements and only promotes - Easy - Christianity and cheap Grace.
List of - Hard - Facts
== Commandments = Love God and Neighbour, including Enemies = God's Testing = Strive to enter Heavenly narrow gates for Few will enter - Mat. 7:14 & Luke 13:23-24 = Confess to another - John 20:22-23 = Eat My Flesh, drink My Blood - Real Food and Drink- for Eternal Life - John 6:53-58 + Partake of Holy Communion, worthily - 1 Cor. 11:26-27 =Jesus' Parables requiring the multiplication of Talents, becoming more fruitful "soil," wise "virgins" carrying oil, etc.= Vengeance is Mine, I will repay; = Fasting, Prayer and Almsgiving - Rewarded by the Father who sees in secret - Matthew 6. = Jesus urged the necessity of praying always - Luke 18:1. Thus Catholics have adopted the responsibility of praying for others, just as Jesus urged Peter to pray and thereby strengthen the others - Luke 22:32.
List of - Easy - Facts
== With Faith alone, one is saved by Grace and name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life, never to be erased = God's Commandments and Testing have been overtaken by Jesus' sacrifice and covered with His Precious Blood. Moreover all sin debt - past, present and future - has been paid in full. Thus the Guarantee - Absent in the Flesh, present with the Lord, forever = The 4 Gospels were meant for the - lost - people of Israel. Now there is a new covenant in the Blood of the Lamb which means - Once Saved, Forever Saved = Works are unnecessary for Salvation and are boastful = And Christian Marriages that end in - easy - divorce and remarriages.
Remember, Jesus instituted the Church, which is a body of Believers, for the reason that He wants His followers to worship and pray together. Jesus declared that where 2 or 3 are gathered in My Name, there I AM - Matthew 18:20. Even the Lord's Prayer is plural - Our Father.
What is the Gospel Message ??
The 4 books of the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are titled - The Gospel - according to Matthew / Mark / Luke / John. This was the same Gospel message revealed to Paul by Jesus - Galatians 1:12 - which reflected the Teachings and Doings of Jesus and which Paul proclaimed - verbally - on his missionary journeys.
Later on, after Paul had received reports from faithful and trustworthy members, he sent out letters to the churches he had established to commend them or to correct them and even provide more insight and clarification. The Bible titles these letters as - Epistles - to the various churches of Corinth, Philippi, etc. Thus, these Epistles were Paul's means of keeping in touch with, as well as providing a Review/Report of the status of the churches he wrote to and to whom he had previously preached - verbally - the Gospel.
Besides, 2 of Paul's letters have gone missing - see 1 Cor. 5:9 and Col. 4:16
Common sense would therefore dictate that we place our doctrines and belief systems first and foremost on these 4 Gospels, and keep everything else secondary. This is because our Salvation is the most important question we will ever face.
It is thus obvious that these Epistles are way-down secondary to the 4 Gospels which Jesus brought from the Heavenly Father's mind and heart for our Salvation.
Sadly, Protestants have based their - Doctrines - and belief systems on these commentaries and Epistles - instead - of the 4 Gospels. They have created doctrines that require no Confession as per Jesus' formula, denial of the - Real Presence - of Jesus in Holy Communion, and the need for Good Works despite that the Great Judgement is based on Works - Matthew 25.
By declaring that only Faith is necessary for Salvation, they have effectively cancelled the Cross - the very symbol of Christianity.
Yet even Paul, like a faithful Christian, boasted of the Cross -Galatians 6:14,
Will they be raptured ? Will they be saved.?
There is no such thing as a Roman Catholic, except for Catholics who happen to come from Rome.
There is no such thing as a "Catholic by Birth".
You can't even spell Catholicism correctly.
You seem extremely confused.
Jesus was a jew, all his apostles were Jews, the gospel was preached first to Jews. Apostles and the first church assembly happened in Jerusalem which became the headquarters for the first church and the apostles. Where was roman Catholic at that time? Later Paul a Jews was send to gentiles. Jesus through John wrote to the seven churches established by Paul. Why is the roman Catholic Church missing? The Bible declares clearly that Peter was send to Jews while Paul was send to gentiles, how comes roman Catholic (a gentiles church) attributes Peter as it's first pope?
Can you answer this simple questions please.
@@mikemwanza8027 Regarding why Catholics believe that Peter was the 1st Pope, we have Apostolic Succession whereby the church continues after Jesus' Heavenly ascension and the death of the Apostles. The Bible indicates that Jesus had an " inner circle " comprising Peter, James and John whom He took alone to select places like His Transfiguration, the raising of Jairus' daughter to life, and the Garden of Gethsemane before His Passion and Death. Even in this " inner circle " the Bible always ranks Peter ahead of James and John
Catholics believe that Papal authority was given to Peter, the 1st Pope, on Peter's declaration of Jesus' Divinity and Son of the Living God - Matthew 16:16 and Jesus' response of - You are Rock on which I will build My church - Mat. 16:18 - together with Jesus' entrustment of the Keys to the Kingdom to Peter alone- Matthew 16:18-19.
It was confirmed after Jesus' Resurrection, when Jesus questioned Peter's love 3 times, firstly to assuage Peter's guilt regarding his thrice betrayal, but most importantly to seal Peter's pastoral role of spiritually feeding Jesus' followers - His lambs and sheep - John 21. In John 21 verse 19 concludes with Jesus, the Good Shepherd. who directed Peter - FOLLOW ME. This directive made only to Peter can only be interpreted as Jesus' successor. Note: Jesus entrusted the keys of Heaven **only* to Peter - Mat. 16:19 - and empowered Peter that whatever, he bound and loosed on earth, would also be bound and loosed in Heaven. On the other hand, on the very day of his resurrection from the dead - John 20:22-23 - Jesus breathed on His Apostles, including Peter, His own Spirit, and empowered them to forgive - or bind - sins. Jesus' breath was similar to the one which gave the life-force to the earth-created Adam - Genesis 2:7
Of the 12 Apostles, only Peter had his name changed from Simon to represent his new authority and role from being a fisherman to being a Fisher of Men - Matthew 4:19. It is true that Paul also had his name changed from Saul - a Persecutor of the church to becoming its Promoter among the pagans.
Moreover, of all the Apostles - excluding Judas - the Resurrected Jesus appeared to Peter first - Luke 24:34.
Peter was the 1st to perform the miracle of healing - Acts 3
When the couple Ananias and Sapphira lied to the 1st Christian community, it was Peter who confronted them and God " executed " them - Acts 5
Peter was the 1st to raise the dead Tabitha to life - Acts 9
Peter was the 1st to introduce Gentiles to the church - Acts 10
Without a Magisterium, Protestant ministers have become their own teaching authority which has resulted in thousands of denominations. Protestant ministers have become dependent on the " itching ears " of their congregations and can be voted out of office - something which is not Biblical. The "Prosperity" doctrine, now in vogue, is one of the results despite Jesus' declaration that - To be My disciple, you MUST take up your Cross daily, deny yourself, and follow Me.
@@mikemwanza8027 The Bible is, historically, a dated book as it records only to the 1st Century. Thus we read only the deaths of Judas and James but not about the other 10 Apostles or of Paul as to when, where and how they died. Does it mean that, because their deaths are not recorded, that they are still alive ?? Obviously not.
Paul declares the Bible - useful and profitable - in 2 Timothy 3:16, but that the Church is the Bulwark and Pillar of Truth - 1 Timothy 3:15. That is because the Church, the community of Believers, came first - Matthew 16:18 - and incorporates both the written word as well as the oral tradition - 2 Thessalonians 2:15. And the Bible declares that Jesus did a = world of unrecorded works= John 21:25. As a result 2 traditions ensued - oral and written - 2 Thess. 2:15 - which are of equal merit. By "Sola Scriptura" Protestants are only receiving part of Divine Truth thus resulting in so many denominations.
The Catholic Church was founded on Peter's declaration of Jesus' Divinity - Matt. 16:16 and holds to both traditions. It is the Church of the Living God and the Pillar and Bulwark of Truth - 1 Timothy 3:15 . Plus it has Jesus' guarantee - Matthew 16:18 - I will build my= Church; = and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it
For the better part of 2 to 3 Centuries after Christ's Ascension, there was - NO - Bible as we know it
Let's look at some historical facts. Christ died between 30 and 40 AD. The earliest Gospels, Matthew and Mark, were written after 70 AD. The last book of the Bible, Revelation, was written by John within the last 2 decades of the 1st Century. Pauls' missionary journeys were around 48 to 60 AD. The greater part of the NT -Muratorian Canon - was probably compiled in 180 AD, whereas the Bible as we know it, was compiled much later. This means that, for the most part of the first 2 to 3 centuries after Christ's Ascension, there was no complete Bible, and as a result the Oral Tradition was the guiding force of the early Christians.
Moreover, before Guttenberg invented the Printing Press in the 15th C, the Bible was laboriously copied by hand by - Catholic - clergy and monks. It wasn't done by the rich who had other preoccupations, nor by the poor who did not possess the learning - nor by Protestants or other non-Catholics. Also, Catholic St. Jerome, who who lived in the 4th Century, was the first to translate the then existing Greek and Hebrew versions into Latin - the common language of the day- called the Vulgate Bible.. Thus it was Catholics and Catholicism that produced the Bible
The best Bibles are the - Red Letter Bibles - so named because they have the words of Jesus printed in Red. Why Red ? Because Red is the colour associated with Danger. Therefore to ignore Jesus' words will cause danger to one's salvation. For Jesus was - Sent - by The Father to teach us the way, truth and life to Heaven and thus bears the authority as well as the heart and mind of God for our salvation. And Jesus has been assigned - ALL - judgement = John 5:22, so will obviously judge us by His words and actions.
The 4 Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, record Jesus' messages that speak of Tough Love -
If you love Me, keep My commandments - and -
If you wish to be My disciple, take up your Cross daily, deny yourself and follow Me - and -
More - is expected of Christians to whom much has been entrusted - Luke 12:48.
Moreover, on the very day of His resurrection from the dead, Jesus - empowered His Apostles to forgive sins - or - retain them - John 20:22-23.
Previously, Jesus commanded us to - Eat My Flesh, Drink My Blood - for - Eternal Life = John 6:53-58.
And, Jesus' Parables are often prefaced with - the kingdom of Heaven - or - the Reign of God - and require us to multiply our talents, become more fruitful " soil " as well as become wise virgins carrying oil
Sadly, Protestants have ignored Jesus' tough Love messages, and instead have " cherry-picked " some of the passages from other than the 4 Gospels, thus jeopardizing their salvation.
Wonderful lecture! I grew up catholic, as an adult I started to question the prayers to Mary. I wondered why we had to go to Mary, why couldn't we go to Jesus?I left the catholic church after I read the bible.
Christine, as a Catholic you were taught that direct prayers to God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are not only allowed but encouraged, and you know from attending Mass (did you ever attend Mass?) that the Mass is one long prayer to the Father and that the emphasis is on Jesus, Jesus' Body and Blood, and that Mary is barely mentioned.
Mr Penton,
I get what you're saying, and I respect your opinion. It's not just Mary that changed my heart. I did go to mass, and I prayed the rosary everyday, and I read about the saints. My cousin is a preist.

@neinacelebre4546
What tends to happen with Catholics who never understood their faith is that shortly after becoming Protestant, they could tell you everything about the Catholic Church within about 30 days after leaving the Church. What goes unnoticed within Protestant communities is that there are thousands and thousands of Protestants converting to Catholicism. Yet, more people are leaving. It is said that for every six people that leave the Church, one Protestant enters. Now after years and years of studying this phenomenon, what I have come to learn is that those who leave the Church never understood her teachings...and those Protestants who enter the Church do so because of their understanding. There are tons of pastors (even mega-pastors) and just regular people from the pew who are entering the Church when they learn what Catholicism really teaches. Many of them were once extreme anti-Catholics who believed the Pope was Satan and the Catholic Church - the Whore of Babylon. Now I know this reply is not going to make a difference but I'm hoping you accept my invitation to learn more of what I have to say. Nonetheless, I'll leave you with the following for you to contemplate over in my attempt to incite you to have an open heart to hear me out:
Protestants proclaim that the Bible is their foundation for truth. However, according to the Bible…the Church is the Pillar and Foundation for Truth (1 Timothy 3:15) since God manifests His Wisdom through Her (Ephesians 3:10)... by the Holy Spirit who guides her and teaches her (John 14:26 & 16:13)…which is why Jesus instructed the people to listen to what the Holy Spirit says to the Church (7x’s - Revelation 2:7, 11, 17, 27 & 3:6,13, 22)…which the Church explains through Scripture…which is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness - since all Scripture is God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Now because of the misguided teachings of false pastors who have led many away from the Church, Paul commanded the Faithful to adhere to the Traditions of the Church (2 Thessalonians 2:15)...lest they be led astray by some tickling of the ear (2 Timothy 4:3).

The Muslims are a side show for the Vatican and Satan, they made a deal that's why some of the Catholic churches are name Fatima right under everybody's nose, Fatima is Allah's daughter. Every road of religion leads to Catholicism and Satan but the true Christians, even non-Christians the road leads and will lead to Rome and Satan. Even Hollywood all over the world leads to Satan and the Vatican. I'm sorry, they replaced our beloved Mary with the queen of heaven in the old testament and their Great Diana Acts 19 that the world worshipped at that time, now just renamed their statues with Mary and so on.
And the Bible should be interpreted one way and that's through the knowledge of Holy Spirit, our Lord Jesus Christ and Father GOD. It's just man trying to come in with their cornal mindedness, getting wrong understanding with Satan. We must be baptized, full body under water, as adults by a holy man of our LORD, ask our Lord Jesus and Father GOD to receive his Holy Spirit, repent of sins and allow the Holy Spirit and our Lord Jesus to guide us back to him from Satan world. The Bible warns us of some places and people to stay away from that not of him, we figured most of it out, with his guidance and Bible by his prophets. Catholicism is against our LORD since before our Lord Jesus and during, helped Israel kill our Lord Jesus just under another name. They took out Emperor Nero, the murderer of Christians and probably our dear apostle Paul, took him out of our new king James Bible. Why to hide the truth, they took books out our Bible, now they are changing meaning in our Bible, just recently the pope changes the LORD's prayer the "Lead us not into temptation" to something "Let us not into temptation" when we are not in charge of our temptation the Lord GOD is. The LORD said don't touch his word add to or take from it, the people that will be in trouble. We must wake up and see, Satan will be allowed to blind you from seeing and hearing the truth the Bible says, pray to our LORD to show you, deep earnest prayer. Our soul is in danger, it's of utmost importance we understand our LORD and Bible, for our Salvation to make it back to him.
@Khrotso Koza use wisdom, I'm not the only one coming against Catholicism, many people have seen and our LORD has opened many eyes to his truth all over the world some lukewarm, hope they get it. Why do we have protestants today, think about. Satan hates us, he will use anything to deceive us, even religion and warp the minds of people to believe lies, as he did with Eve and Adam followed. All the children and women raped in Catholicism and people murdered, for selfish reasons, our LORD doesn't want us under such evilness. Our LORD is of love, and his love is pure, and of an understand, and long suffering. He adores his children and warns no one to hurt them, cause he knows they are the most vulnerable besides his animals. Paul pleads with us not to be tricked by Satan as Eve was beguiled by him. Everything is mostly said one time in our Bible, it's the only truth left on earth, and with some on TH-cam trying to help. Satan is slick, and so much of a show off he has a show now"Lucifer", in the world's face with his number one church(the Catholic church) on it, giving little truth and much lies, cause he's the father of lies. Satan deceiving the world just about, and his Antichrist is coming, with the help of the Vatican bringing all his religions together, and so is our Lord Jesus coming at same time in a cloud to collect his church. Our Lord Jesus church has turned from sin, and this world of Satan, around the world, that loves him and everyone even our enemies, the Bible says a few, and narrow is his way, hope you get it and we all get it in time.
I left Catholicism after meeting my father-in-law who's a wonderful, nondenominational pastor and my husband had said he wouldn't get married in a Catholic church... so I had to examine my faith and learn The Bible. Now I'm born again in God's sight... and my husband is no longer a believer 😔

I have debated many Catholics on this issue, asking them to provide scripture where God tells us to pray to Mary, and they always get extremely defensive and angry, some telling me I'm not saved b/c I'm not in the CC. It is clear they are very deceived and stuck in this mentality. Ye shall know them by their fruit.
@@RS54321 Regarding why Catholics seek Mary's intercession, here are 2 cases.
First. At Jesus' transfiguration, Moses & Elijah were seen talking with Him. In OT, Elijah had been bodily carried to Heaven, Moses had died. When Peter volunteered to build tents, he was obviously seeing them each in bodily form. So there IS life after death.
Second. When Jesus spoke in Parables, He used fictitious figures in His teaching moments like the Prodigal Son, Father & Brother who had no names. However, in the Living Account of the Rich Man(RM) and Beggar Lazarus(BL) - Luke 16:19-31-, the historical Abraham and the BL were named while Jesus did not "care to remember '' the RM's name. In this Parable, Jesus declared that both the RM & BL had died, had been judged and assigned to their places - BL carried by Angels to Abraham's bosom, the RM sent to a place of torment. Despite being dead, there was a request for intercession by the RM to Father Abraham for his brothers. This is the second case of Life after Death, and both cases involve Jesus.
Mary is superior to both Moses & Abraham. Moses committed murder and was disobedient at Meribah in the desert that disqualified him from entering the Promised Land. Abraham lied about his wife Sarah being his sister, and committed adultery with Hagar, his servant. Mary was " full of grace " with no biblical faults ascribed to her. And Mary is the mother of Jesus and thus the most excellent intercessor between us and Jesus, God & Judge ( John 5:22).
While we pray to God we also have to use human helps like doctors, farmers etc.
Possessed persons and their families cannot help themselves without the aid of exorcists.
Jesus loved & honored His mother Mary and would therefore treat her better than the error-prone Moses & Abraham. Humanly speaking, we all love and " adore " our Mothers - not worship them.
======>>>> Jesus loved perfectly and also " adored " His Mother.
As always, I have learned something. Thank you, and thank GOD for giving you the talent to orate.
Funny, the only thing Protestants can agree on is hating the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church doesn’t waste time trying to expose Protestant’s errors. Not only would it take too long because of the thousands of different sects, but when you know the truth, you can spot the counterfeits. Kinda like a fake dollar bill. We aren’t taught what all the counterfeit bills look like because new ones are created every day and there’s many different types. All you need to know is what a real dollar bill looks like to spot the fake. Hope that analogy makes sense.

It wasn't the sacrifice that God rejected from Cain, because there were grain offerings that were required. It was the attitude of his heart that made God reject Cains offering.
You're right about the grain offering. Not too many people are aware of that. So the fact that he offered grain wasn't the issue. It was that there is no mention of Cain offering the first of his fruits.
It was because Abel made sacrifice by faith, and Cain offered the fruit of his works which was cursed, as well from the ground that was also cursed.
Ever since I have been saved, my eves have been opened to the truth about the Catholic Church.
One thing that saddens me is that there are so many people who are turning to Christ, but going to Catholicism...their doctrine is so unbiblical that it's scary to see so many Christians being led astray.
Many people born before the 1970s or even the 1980s were raised Catholic and it makes sense: they had the most ability to help others. They had the money, the schools, the hospitals, etc. But in today, there's no reason for anyone to be Catholic. I am shocked when I meet people 40 and younger who say they are Catholic.
For example, my dad and his siblings were born in the 40s, 50s , and 60s. They were raised Catholic but none of them are Catholic today and no one on my dad's side of the family practices Catholicism.
@@1234poppycat dude look at the Catholics 10 commandments. They literally take out the second commandment from the Bible.
@@1234poppycat except that they do. I have looked at the Bible and the 2nd commandment states in Exodus 20:4 "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth"
Now look at the Catholics 10 commandments and the 2nd commandment is completely taken out. The Catholics 2nd commandment is replaced with the 3rd commandment, "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord they God in vain" and they split the 10th commandment in two.
@@1234poppycat no, I only refuse to accept what the Catholic Church says, because they are not biblical by any means.
The churches today, most also have tons of paganism. Christmas, Easter and worshipping on Sunday all came from the Catholic Church. Yet most Christians refuse to admit this. In 321 AD, God's day of worship was changed. Not by God the Father but by Emperor Constantine. A few years after that keeping the Sabbath and keeping God's holy days (Exodus 12, Leviticus 16 and 23) we're actually outlawed. The calendars we're also changed by men. Just like the book of Daniel said "he will think to change laws and times". Daniel foretold it and it happened. I have left the daughters of Catholicism and gone directly to the book (Bible). Come to find out it all still applies. Jeremiah 16:19 is exactly what I said.
Thor's day (Thursday) tyr's day (tuesday)
The time of men and laws are different considering christianity started as a cult in the middle east as a sect of judaism.
The laws and calendars of the middle east is different from the roman, celtic, germanic, slavic laws and calandars all of which are wonders of the modern world and fell into decline after adopting Christianity.

For all the Catholics that are reacting to this video, from a Catholic that had to re-examine beliefs, I would suggest that you follow the words of 1 Thessalonians 5:21, “ Prove everything.

Having said this, many of his points are valid in this video as I have verified this myself for me via other sources. Because of this, I am no longer religious, but I am spiritual. I trust that Yeshua (jesus) justified me through his death, burial, and resurrection, to the Father.

Calling yourself "spiritual" is not a good Idea. Even New Agers (Oprah Winfrey) call themselves spiritual. By doing so the world can easily confuse the two. Just call yourself what you are, a Christian.

Thank you for this. I’m struggling because i am saved. I have Jesus with me right now. But I need to go on a rescue mission for my family is deep in the Catholic church.

ME = Are you reading the Bible correctly ???????
Protestants believe that Jesus paid for all sin, as we could not pay the sin debt. Jesus paid it all once for all. And they sadly believe that God will forgive, not only sins against God, but also sins against Neighbour.= Check Matthew 6:14-15 and Matthew 18:32-35.
I urge you to read a Red-Letter Bible precisely to clear any misunderstandings you may have had about being " saved." And present the examples of Ananias and Sapphira from the 1st Christian - Faith - community who were " executed " by God for just dishonesty and lying . And this was shortly = after = Jesus' heavenly ascent = Acts 5.
And Jesus' threat to spew out and vomit the lukewarm Laodicean church - Rev 3. Obviously, these people were = not = saved.
Moreover, the final judgement is based on works of Love = Matthew 25. This statement is by Jesus, God and Judge.
Protestants have long been weaned on Paul's letters and wrongly equate " saved " with being granted "heavenly citizenship." This is despite the fact that Paul stated in Galatians 5:19-21 that Christians who do works of the flesh will = not = inherit the kingdom of God. In other words they will not receive heavenly citizenship.
Protestants base their theology - their basic belief systems and doctrines, instead of the Gospels, on Paul's letters especially =For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; 9it is not from works, so no one may boast = Ephesians 2:8-9 = and have arrived at religious philosophy that is distant from practical Christianity.
Protestants believe that Jesus came to earth to die and take away all sins and its guilt association. His cry - It is finished - proved that human redemption from sin was completed, and that those who believe in Jesus would have their names forever written in the Lamb's Book of Life and at the time of death, they would be - absent in the flesh, present with the Lord forever - no matter how many or how grievous they committed sins. Others would be caught up and - raptured - to be with Jesus forever. Thus the promise of salvation was God's free gift - grace - to them.
Catholics, on the other hand, believe that when Adam and Eve sinned, God not only cast them from Eden, and laid - Original Sin - on all their descendants, but also slammed the gates of Heaven shut. God then required that a man must pay the penalty of the man Adam's sin in order to atone for the Original Sins of mankind and thereby open Heaven's gates. However, no man was found to be worthy - sinless - so in the fullness of time, God sent His Son, Jesus, to live sinlessly and die to pay that penalty.. It is finished - was Jesus' cry of Mission accomplished and that Heaven was now open. And that all = original = sins of those past, those present and those still unborn would be forever wiped away. And that Baptism is a one-time - Grace - event that washes all prior sins - 1 Peter 3:21 - However, we are responsible for all sins after. Saved by grace is thus Jesus' freewill offering of Himself to pay the penalty of Adam's sin and thereby open the gates of Heaven.
While the Catholic doctrine is not in the Bible, we understand that Jesus did a = world of -unrecorded - Works = John 21:25. As a result 2 traditions ensued - oral and written - 2 Thess. 2:15 - which are of equal merit Paul declares the Bible - useful and profitable - in 2 Timothy 3:16, but that the CHURCH is the Bulwark and Pillar of TRUTH - 1 Timothy 3:15. That is because the Church, the community of Believers, came first - Matthew 16:18 - and incorporates both the written word as well as the oral tradition - 2 Thessalonians 2:15. Moreover, Paul declares - Ephesians 1:23 - The church is Christ's body, Thus it is the Church, the BODY of Christ, that can rightfully proclaim the WORD of God
Biblically, the Protestant position is un-supported and the Catholic position correct because of the following

CHALLENGE = Can = any = Protestant, including Dr John Barnett, give the answer to this most = basic = and fundamental
Question = Why did Jesus incarnate as a Man and die on the Cross ??
(( Note = a review of the following points is necessary before answer ))
Note = If I don't hear from you, then may I assume you are not saved .
@@bridgefin I don’t understand how you drew that conclusion…
@@mfalmog
Jesus established one church for the salvation of man. He said that he would be with it forever and he promised that the spirit of truth would be with the apostles till the end of time. Satan hates that church and has been attacking it from day one. One of his best attacks was the "Reformation" which split Christianity in two and put half of it outside of that protected church.
So you have one church made by God and then 4 individual ones set up by 4 principle "reformers". That number was at 40,000 years ago and I think they have stopped counting, Jesus even warned Peter that Satan was out to sift him and Satan has clearly sifted and split Christianity through Protestantism. 500 years in existence and still it cannot produce a catechism explaining its beliefs. It is a rebellion against God disguised as a rebellion against his fallen church.
Its member assume that reading a book they don't understand makes them saints and some say they can do as they please because they were once saved and thus protected from condemnation. They ignore most of what Jesus teaches in that book as they follow their human authors and ignore him. So they reject the teaching of Jesus on church, Eucharist, Mass, forgiveness of sins, salvation, sacraments, etc. According to Jesus they have no life within them (John 6) and they risk dying in their sins (John 20)
That's how I drew that conclusion.
But remember we are more than conquerors thru Christ.
Reasons I no longer practice Catholic faith. My sister is a "devout Catholic". My family had to move from our home last summer. We had no where to go. My sister lives in a 300.000 home. She never invited me too stay. And when she finally relented she kicked me, my husband and daughter out of her home after two days.

The word “religion” has been distorted to have negative connotations, however, in The Bible, under inspiration the writers defined true religion...so the problem isn’t “religion”, it is false religion as opposed to true religion. See James 1: 26 - 27
The "organized religion of men" is what many rail against. It is this false religion that conflicts greatly with the Scriptures. It is when mankind puts their "traditions" above the inspired writings and the movement of the Holy Spirit. It is when men seem to think they can "order God around" during their rituals (aka eucharist); change his set times and laws... The word "religion" isn't the problem at all, but what mankind has done to corrupt true religion... Maybe this is not what you are trying to say, but it is my take on it.
That is why I say, "religion of men and not of God". We are to have a relationship with Christ, and so many just do not. They do have a relationship with their "religion" though.

@@1234poppycat you obviously feel very strongly about the Catholic church. That's fine. I myself was born and raised Catholic and went to only Catholic schools. I'm in no way faulting the church. I just like to keep an open mind and learn as much as I can. I was in no way insulting anyone.
Although Papal Infallibility and the Immaculate Conception of Mary were not defined as doctrines until the 19th century, they had been longstanding non-doctrinal beliefs for many centuries before that.

Nope. If you think Pope Francis is not evil, you're blind. He is a Jesuit.
This people have no other business but to relate and correlate everything into myths and other false interpretarions when in fact they themselves do believed in this religion and worshipped it. Though it was separated from the Main making their own religion. We venerate and honor Mary indeed but we do not worship her as equal or higher than God. Mary is worthy of admiration due to her selflessness, courage, and faith in God. Especially in her time, to be unwed and pregnant was extremely shameful and sometimes even resulted in serious punishment.
The Catholic Church is The Way In Christ. Protestants will know that the Church is For God who is Christ who is the Holy Spirit when the Final days come Protestants will turn back towards the Church For Protection
Only the deceived ones will go to the RCC I believe.
The joint service,.. is it a once-a-year thing?
It reminds me of when I was growing up in the 60's, we were the Lutheran church on one corner in town and at the end of our block corner sat a Catholic church, and once a year they invited our church to go to their service. Nothing more ever came of these yearly visits. No one felt there was any unseen motives. It was a tradition to extend a gesture of neighborly hospitality which frankly the Lutherans of my church I grew up in didn't put forth any warmth in this tradition, they were glad when that Sunday was finished for another year. 👍
I want to say that I enjoy your channel, I get enlightened through your teaching. Thank you for posting as often as you do. God bless you.
Great video God bless you., 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️
My friend is Catholic - she recently heard a voice during one of the horrible migraines say over and over: "you don't know Me". I asked her who she thought that was - She thinks it was her grandmother - it wasn't her grandmother. God is trying to reach out, but she's not listening. I'm praying for her.
My friend is a Protestant, he was sick, then a voice said to him " You don't know me".He thought it was grandmother but it was God telling him that he is following a false teaching...
Why would it be her grandma...
Bless her-sounds like when Samuel heard God’s voice whilst sleeping. 😊
Yeh...you know better don't you.
Thank you , sir, for this very deep enlightenment. Many will surely change their ways to GOD's glory. 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
You mean many will convert to Catholicism? I listened to this and my first though was "thank God I'm Catholic".
Your Old Testament historical perspectives are enjoyable.
I'm Catholic
Lent mirrors the days Jesus was in the dessert , fasting and praying . Lent is the season in which we prepare our hearts to celebrate Jesus and declare that he is Risen , why would the devil want that ?
I asked my friend why she prayed to Mary and she said it’s because she is the mother of Jesus. I told her that’s not right. Too many people are deceived. I won’t give up on my family members and friends.
What’s not right? The Bible isn’t anymore clear that Mary is Jesus’s mother and that Jesus is God. As for prayer it doesn’t necessarily mean worship.
@@peterhenryzepeda3484 Praying to Mary isn't right nor is it Biblical. Mary was Jesus' earthly mother, but she has been heretically elevated to be greater than she is. There is no one who intercedes for us except Jesus.
Jesus Christ said pick up your cross and follow Jesus Christ, he didn't say follow the doctrines of men, in fact scripture warn's beware of the doctrines of MEN. Thank you JESUS CHRIST for opening my eye's to see only you always and you are your word.

The most important part, Rightly Dividing
@@jimmyjohnson1452 Those who claim they have "compiled" the Bible did not so rightly divide it and you can tell when reading through. The chapters stop in odd places and the main objective of the passage is cut into another chapter. But more than this; those who compile it cannot seem to keep the main points in context either. Face it, there's a whole lot of cherry pickers out there.
This is where people are missing it. ‘Rightly dividing the truth’

thousands of times. The more hateful the curses hurled at the Catholic church, the less informed the person is. So the apostles, 2000 years ago, were out killing people ? Read the bible ? I wish you Catholic haters would believe YOUR bibles ! 31 Popes were put to death for preaching the gospel and remaing true to our saviour, including the first one ! You should repent of telling lies about HIS 2000 year old church ! You obviously don't know that a NEW reading of the old and new testament is read evey day at mass for 300 days !
You obviously don't know and probably are not interested in the following FACTS: the Catholic church put the bible together, hand copied it for centuries and had it printed when a Catholic invented printing in Germany. Now you people constantly say we don't read the bible ! The Catholic church gave the world the bible----and we NOW don't use it ? Stop following men ? I wish you would use your common sense and get a second opinion. Do you know that the greatest Christian theologians in history were Catholic ? Do you know

@@johnsheedy461 I use to be a Catholic. They were talking about the first church with the Apostles. NO Where does it talk about follow the church. The Pope is a man.

No where does it say God will give you a Pope. He says in Mathew don't call anyone Father except God in Heaven but you call the Pope father. Jesus Christ said only he can forgive you of your sins but you let the pope and other priests forgive you with a bunch of hail Mary prayers. None of that is in the Bible. Do some research on the start up of the church. They have been killing Christians for years. Do some bible studies on Daniels proficiencies and revelation. God tells you about the Catholic church. Remember the devil will pretend to be Light, the good guy and so will his demons. A bad guy will give u candy to get u into the car. Read Mathew FALSE PROFITS will come in my name. Wolves in sheep clothing. God says many will die because of lack of learning. LEARN and be saved. Stop chasing a old man around you are chasing the devil. Keep your eyes on Jesus Christ so you will not fall into the water. Study man. Everyone knows how evil the Catholic church is. It's been outed. Jesus Christ is on his way and u are about to follow this pope into the fire, why? No pope has ever been killed. That is not even true. Repent and walk with Jesus Christ and the Bible.

Yes this man on here is teaching a lies about the Catholic Church we are christians just as much as everybody else We are so much christians that our church put The Bible together so of the Catholic Church is false than The Bible is too
@@JuanHernandez-ml8nh I was raised Catholic and received a New Testament from a 7th grade (1962) catechism teacher which changed my life. The biggest choice I had to make early on, was whether to believe the Word of God as written, or believe the footnotes on most every page that gave the Catholic Church reason why their doctrines/rules, etc were contradictory, but wiser to believe in.
I decided to always believe only the Word of God.
(We owe undying gratitude to the Old and New Testament Jews who preserved the manuscripts comprising all the older bibles, like the favorite King James).
My entire family, was Catholic, and the ones who have died, never professed a personal relationship with Jesus, only that they were Catholics. They never knew the disposition of their souls for eternity, and death was dreaded and filled with sadness. I place much blame for them being lost on the CC who urges people not to read the Bible. I believe if they ever would have read it, they might have discovered very many severe errors between the CC and God's Word. They might have become saved.
But then, Jesus is Truth, no matter what religion we are, or what building we attend, in the end it is all about Him and the commandments He gave us to live by.
May God Bless you richly through His Word!

Every word uttered in mass is biblical....
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father; God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God; begotten not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven. By the power of the Holy Spirit He was born of the Virgin Mary and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate. He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day He rose again, in fulfillment of the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son He is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

+TH-camViewer ----- *FALSE* I was Catholic for 32 years and most is not Biblical but man made traditions. Odd, after not being in one all those years, I STILL know ALL of the Mass, even some of the Latin Mass. Jesus said to NOT pray with repetition as the heathen do. If they didn't do so, I sure wouldn't remember what I don't want to from there. I am FREE in CHRIST.. You'd be wise to do the same and as God said, "Come out of her, My people!" While there is still time.
Mary Mclocke you misquoted, and left out the keyword word “VAIN” before repetition. We were taught the Lord’s prayer, and told to pray persistently. Also the first half of the Hail Mary is straight from scripture. The end is asking the mother of God to pray for us. Scripture says to pray for one another. Who better to pray for you than Mary? Some say this is necromancy, but This is an improper usage of the term. Dictionaries define necromancy as “conjuring up spirits” or “communication with the spirits of the dead in order to foretell the future, black magic or sorcery.” When Catholics pray to saints, we do not “conjure up” spirits or tell fortunes. In fact, the Catholic Church is in complete agreement with the Bible when it condemns consulting “mediums” and “wizards.” As man, Jesus spoke to Elijah and Moses. We are to follow Jesus’ lead.

I watched a video of a Christian pastor standing outside a very big Roman Catholic church in the US. He was asking those entering and exiting what is required to enter heaven and do they know if they are going there. NONE of them had any idea what was needed in order to be saved. None could answer either question. It seems they need to shovel all the hocus pocus out and start to actually read what the Bible says. The religion, dogma, ritual, statues, monotonous repetitions, bowing, making cross signs, smelly smoke, bowls of water and the rest is of no value if you do not know the basic gospel on what must you do to be saved. the Bible doesn't call for any of that hocus pocus.
I agree with you completely many Catholics have no idea
But many didn’t understand Jesus either
Many didn’t understand Apostles either
Is that make Jesus and Apostles bad teachers or false prophets or even devil worshipers or what ever name you guys use today or people since day one constantly SINNING including yourself and that is their problem I agree
But your problem is blindness that if you have done all that and know Bible inside out, you should know that there is no “hoccus poccus” here, but all biblical truth and YOU should see or understand everything we believe
Compare that with Church Father’s and see who’s follow Bible and who’s follow pastors or men
And you should read and study what we believe before you say anything or call it with those names
Because brother if you call your self Christian and saying those things think again because you obviously have no idea neither about bible nor Apostolic Tradition nor Jesus nor His Church and those people don’t know theories but many have faith so they don’t know and they admit that, but you think you know but you don’t, so I’m sorry but think about this please
I’m sorry if I’m harsh was not my intentions

@@wakeupcall8188 As I have seen and heard people pray to Mary when I have gone into RC churches, I find that wrong for a start. I know, Im told every time they aren't doing it but seeing and hearing it for myself doesn't alter what I see or hear. Calling priests father gets me. The Bible says not to quite clearly. they are NOT my father, especially some pope. All true believers are called saints in the Bible. they do not need to be made up by the church. Its done already. I am still looking for purgatory in the Bible. People paying priests to say things to get them out from there is also hard to find in the Bible...…….. and it goes on. Yes you are right. I prefer the Bible to what men teach. Jesus is head of the church. He is the only sinless man ever. He is our only mediator, He is High Priest, God the Father is the Holy Father and my faith in Jesus is the only thing that will get me to heaven as I can never do anything good enough. If men or churches want to add to all that or deny it, they can have it. I do not need it as the Bible says what is needed. no need for priests and ritual. others can play with it if they wish but it is not Biblical.
plume2035
Ok brother I understand and we do pray to Mary, who said we don’t,
BUT NOT THE WAY YOU THINK WE DO
So again lack of knowledge, lack of charity, lack of spit of truth, plenty of ignorance is a problem here again and always has been
I haven’t met or heard one person who knew everything about us, what we believe, how we worship God, what we teach, and still hates us, in fact they convert, because they can not ignore truth anymore
- So main problem is your understanding of Christ Catholic Church and Apostles and Church Father’s and teachings that Church teach and Mary is one of them
1. We don’t pray to God and Mary same way
“I pray you to pray for my family “
I ask you, I even beg you because you are alive and I know you can help,
Same with Mary she’s alive with God and her prayers as righteous are greater then ours ( from Bible) and if you could do more tomorrow then yesterday to go closer to God, would you do it
2. Mary is, after Jesus, only sinless, why, because
-God could not be in anything dirty, if she was sinner she would be destroyed in pregnancy, God wouldn’t even do it but you see my point
-Mary said yes and Eve said no to God
- Mary is Mother of God
Mary is Queen of heaven because Jesus is the Kind of Kings
- Mary is new Ark of Covenant because
- Old one has Manna from desert
New one had Jesus, Bread of Life
- Old one have Ten commandments written word of God
Mary had living Word of God inside of her womb
-Old one had stuff of Aaron
New one had High Priest Himself inside
So as you see all this is Bible and scriptural but is led by Holy Spirit to really understand God, His Love and his vision of family and unity on earth and in heaven, not by hate, to ruin, or gossip and attack my brethren before I know what one believes and even talk I do big of her
WE ARE STILL NOT worshiping her but we acknowledge reality and you can use what ever word you prefer to have pictures clear but she’s not god, or goddess, to us, that’s a heresy that Church had to deal with in begging, nor we taking something from Christ and give to Mary
So are we clear here now
2. Word Father and your guys objection to it is ideal example how wrong you guys are, how shallow you guys read bible and your understanding of it or the one who thought you
Why, well
1. word father in that context of Jesus’s meaning was mentioned together with teacher and master and accidentally or not, those two word are never mentioned and are ok to use
2. Jesus sayythat if I think that my father is my origin then NO ONE shouldn call anyone father
Same for master and teacher because like you said we can not do anything without God
3. After that occasion Jesus Himself use those words
Apostles and disciples use those words
And obviously they either contradict themselves or did not mean that way you guys understand because Jesus would contradict everything God the Father was saying about Abraham, Moses in OT
Apostles what Jesus was teacher in NT and from OT
So if you go to
1 Corinthians 4:15-17
15 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.
16 I urge you, then, be imitators of me.
17 Therefore I sent to you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church.
That is exactly what we believe teach and use that term for
So I’ll answer all of them including purgatory so you don’t have to keep looking but let’s do one by one please if you are genuine
If not don’t bother to answer
God bless
Faith Plus Nothing
Praise be to Jesus and Mary
I hope that you will see that there is no easier way to say this and that I’m saying this in all humility and in hope you will understand me properly
Brother you were never Catholic but you have only that title or you felt that you are
Same way that one is not Christian either, because one follows Christ a just a little bit or not at all but call himself a Christian and is not in fullness of truth
Real Catholics will never leave the faith because, they see Christ in all His glory, are real Christians and recognise fullness of truth in Christ and Catholic Faith and only Church that Christ established
And I’m not “defending” name here brothers because you are proof name doesn’t save or keep you with Christ nor means anything, but I’m defending Christ, His Church, Bible, Apostolic Tradition of 2000 year of love,suffering and sacrifice to spread Gospel and die for Christ
While some people in history because lack of Christ, knowledge or will to know, in them, will a lot of pride arrogance and ignorance, could not see that and start building feel good religious organisations, creating their own Christ and interpretation of bible to take people away from real Christ
Brother this is for now
I’ll answer just this in hope we understanding each other
If you want I’ll answer everything else but let’s do one thing at the time
Because i don’t wanna argue or give you back “your presents” like people do here
I wanna talk to you and show you the truth through Christ Bible and Church Father’s
God bless brother
PART 1
So I hope we understood each other, and I hope I'll show you why, just from your comments, you were not catholic,- "But instead of going through the motions, I went on a hunt to seek truth many years ago.",
So what motions, Real catholic don't do that, they are in peace, love, patience, humility, and in THE TRUTH, with Christ and everyone else, so you don't have to go search for it. Its in Christ and we are in Him I can understand that you didn't "FEEL" Christ, or many things, but if you have understood Bible and how God builds up His saints, you would see, that's temporarily and normal, and that fact should tells you that you did not know your faith, and for that reason were not catholic in reality, just in the name, and that my brother its not enough,
So instead, going to search truth somewhere else, you should check, learn, study, research, around you first, then others, then compare, then pray a lot, fast, check all spirits that guides you and then stay or go.I was an atheist and "felt" God or something "more" but went wrong way, following emotions and feelings. basically
myself, only when I have touched bottom as lukewarm catholic and became 'Born again Catholic", crying my heart out with complete surrender to God's will, and Christ took everything bad in me literally over one night, and woken up Holy Spirit in me, who pour many gifts mainly, instant knowledge, understanding, wisdom, prophecy, i could understand all this, in instant, talk about, seeing Christ the way he is, not that was hard or something before, but
devil blinds us, our pride and ignorance, prevents us to see Christ, and everything He did and established, then i started learning and comparing and Catholic Church is only Church, (together with Ortodox's), that Christ
established, because if nothing else, just for one reason, What bible says Church Fathers did, (because Bible came from them) and what they do, we do today, (because we follow Bible and Bible came from Church), Holy Mass,
Eucharist to start with and all other sacraments
- ""I went in with a totally open mind, no pre-conceived notions"
So if your mind were open you would see truth around you, at the first place, and you did have pre-conceived notions, because you assumed that you did not know, or had truth, which started you up, to search, so again
if you were real Catholic you would see and know truth, because you would be in truth,
I hope you see that
- "Honestly, it would’ve been much easier to just stay Catholic"
This brother is not just "funny" but concerning as well- Because being real catholic is hardest thing to be, just ask all the Saints, past and present, real holy people, priest, monks, nuns and if you are saying that now, in state you are, then brother im really worried about you because you are not in right state, and proofs again that you were not rea
catholic- "And I don’t mean any offense, but there were many things that struck me as contradictory practice in the church compared to what the Bible says"
Brother, thanks I'm not offended or upset and I do understand you completely, i see when they do that and I honestly hope for same. So relationship Church - Bible, I've already explained and only problem there brother is your
understanding of Church and Bible.
- "I never learned the true gospel until I left"
Galatians 1:6-8
6 I am astounded that you should be so quick to desert one who called you to the grace of Christ, and
go over to another gospel; 7 this can only mean, that certain people are causing disquiet among you, in their eagerness to pervert the gospel of Christ.[1] 8 Friends, though it were we ourselves, though it were an angel from heaven that should preach to you a gospel other than the gospel we preached to you, a curse upon him! 9 I repeat now the warning we gave you before it happened, if anyone preaches to you what is contrary to the tradition you received, a curse upon him!
So Catholic Church, through Holy Spirit, gave you this Gospel and you left, so do the math, and if you gonna tell me its not Catholic Church, read Church Fathers, History of Church, for instance, St Ignatius, disciple of John The Apostle and compere that with Bible, Catholic Church and yourself, and you'll seeAlso your statement contradicts your claims and itself really, i understand you see that now, but what start moving, was not truth because you cant know its there until you find it, and you wont start to search because you don't know its there, unless you assume, its there which contradicts you claims, and proof that you did not have truthI hope you see that "We are saved through Jesus blood alone. There are more verses than I can count that say this"
Brother I see your point and meaning, and we kind of agree with that, but By His Blood we are bought, and in sense saved, but We are saved by Grace of God alone which includes His Blood, and if you knew yous faith, you would know that Church is teaching that since day of Christ and not by works what yo assume, we teach, you just go and read catechism and you will see and will be proven to you once for all, so we finish this subject and you don't
believe that lie about us any more, if you did that as catholic that was you personal interpretation or understanding or upbringing, but not teaching of Catholic Church, sorry brother but it wasWe say and teach that faith without works is dead and that is what you say where works comes from, so we agree there
Now it make sense to me on why the world is fighting over religion beliefs. Thank you..
@Patrick Montgomery
The Holy Spirit = The Father's Spirit
The Man Jesus = The Father's Flesh
The One God of All = The Father of the spirits and the flesh
@Patrick Montgomery Hello Patrick,
Read these:
Zechariah 12:1, 10
An oracle. The word of Yahweh concerning Israel. “Thus declares Yahweh, who stretches out the heavens, founds the earth, and forms the spirit of humankind in its midst:
“‘I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication, and *they will look to me whom they pierced,* and _they shall mourn over him, as one wails over _*_an only child,_*_ and they will grieve bitterly over him as one grieves bitterly over _*_a firstborn._*
John 14:8-9
Philip said to him, _“Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”_ Jesus said to him, *“Am I with you so long a time and you have not known me, Philip?* The one who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, ‘Show us the Father?’
Isaiah 9:6
For a child has been born for us;
a son has been given to us.
And the dominion will be on his shoulder,
and his name is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
*Everlasting Father,* Prince of Peace.
The Father came into creation by His Holy Spirit and became The Son, who is The Father Himself:
Hebrews 1:8-12
But concerning the Son [The Father says],
“Your throne, *O God,* is forever and ever,
and the scepter of righteous is the scepter of your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
because of this *God,* _your God,_ has anointed you
with the olive oil of joy more than your companions.
And,
“You, *Lord,* _laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,_
and _the heavens are the works of your hands;_
they will perish, but you continue,
and they will all become old like a garment,
and like a robe you will roll them up,
and like a garment they will be changed;
but _you are the same, and your years will not run out.”_
The Father in flesh form = The Son.
@@1234poppycat see holy child of mine, this AJA thing can not find truth in scripture, he does not see that light, he only sees shadows of light ie the churches view. Plus he goes around copy pasting false doctrine to keep people from seeking the truth, he doing the Satan's work under YAHs name......
The world is fighting over religious beliefs because people keep lying about the truth
Like in this video
Excellent video... Truth 💯🙏❤️
What book can I find all this in ? Thank you
Keep up the good work of exposing these cults 👏
If you look up the definition of cult it does not suit the catholic church
The roman catholic church is the church of Jesus Christ not a cult
@@brandonhuggins1949 if you read nebuchadnezzars dream interpreted by Daniel and realize that the 2 legs of Satan's kingdom on earth are the roman catholic church and the Greek orthodox church.....they are the gates of hell that have always killed the Christian saints with the true revelation or faith
So it does fit the definition of a cult because they are mass murderers just like Islam
@@andreeattieh2963 All Protestant denominations are essentially cults invented by men.
cult - noun
"A system of formal religious veneration or devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.
A religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious.
Religious sects that take part in sinister practices & demonstrations.
A group requiring unwavering devotion that is considered deviant (outside the norms of society), and typically led by a charismatic and often self-appointed leader."
Psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton, who once taught at Harvard Medical School, wrote a paper titled Cult Formation in the early 1980s. He delineated three primary characteristics:
1. A charismatic leader, who increasingly becomes an object of worship as the general principles that may have originally sustained the group lose power. That is a living leader, who has no meaningful accountability and becomes the single most defining element of the group and its source of power and authority.
2. A process [of indoctrination or education is in use that can be seen as] coercive persuasion or thought reform [commonly called "brainwashing"].
The culmination of this process can be seen by members of the group often doing things that are not in their own best interest, but consistently in the best interest of the group and its leader.
3. Economic, sexual, and other exploitation of group members by the leader and the ruling coterie.
Which their paganism was brought into Christianity
Like Christmas and Easter. And doing away with the 7 holidays God said to do
Max yes I’ve read that. But God said when you go into the land do not worship the way the pagans do. The seven feast were set as prophetic memorials most have been fulfilled Passover promises the messiah and his redemptive work on the cross, the feast of trumpets for Christ’s return also tabernacles proclaims the thousand year rein. These feasts are set by God. Christmas and Easter are not established by Yahweh. They are from pagan origins as the lecturer is talking about Babylonian religion. Jesus was born during Passover and crucified on Passover. Why not celebrate his birthday and his crusifixtion one the holiday God had set it up. I’m god poured his spirit out on the feast of Pentecost. Jesus said he only does what the father does shouldn’t we if God our father said everlasting memorial why has the church ended it and replaced it with these evil holidays that was started to worship false God’s. I can look in the Bible and find scripture that God said to do. Even Jesus said he had to go to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. Can you show me we’re Jesus said to celebrate Easter or Christmas with there false God foundation and tradition. Jesus said the traditions of men make the gospel of no effect.
Yep. Christmas, Easter, and some evening do stuff for Halloween! I’m not sure about New Years but I know churches who hold services for that, that go until a lil past midnight.
@Julie Wilson Christ was the Lamb, the Passover Lamb, so if He was the Passover Lamb, he would have been at Passover time, a Lamb without blemish
@@virgie4715 New Years is on Halloween for Wiccans and paganism
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Clear, concise, factual and on point.
So helpful!

Truth and facts. May God help all Catholics to see the light and come out of darkness
Wow! Thank you for sharing this knowledge!
hate ??? look back it time. not loveing is it. open your eyes
There is no religion not Baptist not Pentecostal not apostolic none of them are of god. It is about a personnel relationship with God through Yeshua.
@Random Person I dont deny God sent his son to die for our sins but the name Jesus Christ doesnt appear until the Roman catholic church. His name was and is Yeshua.
@Dominus Vobiscum you must be catholic the pope calling himself the vicor of Christ is blasphemy
Random Person Jesus was talking about Himself. Jesus is the cornerstone, the capstone the builders rejected. He was not talking about building His church on simple Peter. Only Jesus saves.
I am not part of any religion. I am part of the Body of Christ (the Catholic Church), and this is no mere religion.
wes Harp
It’s “Vicar”, and blasphemy is by definition rejecting the teachings of the Catholic Church.
I'm so glad to see someone calling out the weirdness of catholicism.
It's weirdt! With it's pretentious wording and ritual practices.
Did James Arrabito say that Nimrod was the first Pontifex Maximus? Help me out. Also, some have said that Simon Magus was the first pope, in that he was headman of a purportedly Christian state religion while he was the chiefest god of Rome for a while.
TRU KEESEY----All historians, the Encyclopedia Brittanica, Wikipedia and all Books of Lists, after serious research into the early church, the bible, those that were taught by the Apostles
and regular history state that Peter WAS THE FIRST POPE ! Research is the job of these people ! ! !
I love listening to the Word taught by Dr. Barnett! Praying for Dr. Barnett’s ministry.
@@1234poppycat --Mary's "special role" was to bring forth the Christ child and raise Him to manhood. Once Jesus began His Ministry (which you will NEVER see an "adult" statue of Christ in a Catholic church - except still on the cross - where He is NOT) Jesus when refereed to her as "Woman"..as is clearly written in the story of the wedding where Christ performed His first miracle - changing water into wine. Mary is awaiting the Resurrection as all those who have 'fallen asleep in Christ' before and after her. Neither is she "co-Redeemer". The Bible is clear that Jesus alone is the ONLY way to the Father. Lifting up Mary in ANY way the RCC does is no different than worship. Been there, done that. Former Catholic of 32 years.
@@TheMistysFavs YOU = Neither is she ( Mary ) "co-Redeemer".
ME = The reason why Jesus incarnated was to redeem the effects caused by Adam and Eve's disobedience
The Bible and OT begins with the = Fall = in the Garden of Eden of the man Adam who was given the directive by God to not eat of the forbidden =TREE= Gen 2;17. Eve, on the other hand, must have learned of this directive from Adam. The result of the Fall was to render the ground cursed and Adam and Eve dismissed from the garden Eden.
The NT begins with the birth and = Rise = of Jesus, the spiritual Adam =1 Corinthians 15:21-23 = , who redeems man by His death on the TREE ( cross ) and is then buried in the Garden.
What the Bible does = not = state is that God slammed the gates of Heaven shut after the Fall because Adam and Eve had taken on the nature of the devil. For when confronted by God, Adam blamed God = the woman YOU gave me = Adam also blamed Eve. Eve likewise blamed the devil ( serpent ). Instead of asking forgiveness from God who walked with them = Gen. 3:8, they played the Blame Game as children of the devil = 1 John 3:8 = and thus God had no option but to expel them from Eden and made them and their descendants ineligible for Heaven, through = Original Sin. This Original Sin is what Jesus came to pay by His death and shed Blood, as well as reverse God's curse on the ground.
Thus the TREE which was the downfall of mankind now became the symbol = the Cross = of man's redemption. And the Garden where Jesus' body was laid now became the symbol of man's eligibility to Heavenly Paradise and thus has reversed the shame of his ousting from Eden and the reversal of the cursed ground.
Third, the Fall of humankind began when Eve listened to and obeyed the = Fallen ANGEL =who is the devil. On the other hand, Mary listened and agreed with the = ANGEL = Gabriel to be the mother of Jesus who became the Redeemer. by His death on the TREE of the Cross. .
Catholics thus believe that Eve brought about the Fall, whereas Mary contributed to the Rise of Mankind and have no problem in calling Mary = Co-Redeemer. ================
Fourth, after Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, God called out to Adam = only = and he replied = I heard you in the garden, but I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself = Gen.3:10.
On the other hand, when Jesus, the spiritual Adam, was nailed to the Tree, He was rendered naked = John 19:23 = with no way to hide.
@@TheMistysFavsYOU = Mary is awaiting the Resurrection as all those who have 'fallen asleep in Christ' before and after her.
ME = Catholics believe in a = Living = God and life after death. Here are 3 cases
First. At Jesus' transfiguration, Moses & Elijah were seen talking with Him. In OT, Elijah had been bodily carried to Heaven, Moses had died. When Peter volunteered to build tents, he was obviously seeing them each in bodily form. So there IS life after death.
Second. When Jesus spoke in Parables, He used fictitious figures in His teaching moments like the Prodigal Son, Father & Brother who had no names. However, in the Living Account of the Rich Man(RM) and Beggar Lazarus(BL) - Luke 16:19-31-, the historical Abraham and the BL were named while Jesus did not "care to remember '' the RM's name. In this Parable, Jesus declared that both the RM & BL had died, had been judged and assigned to their places - BL carried by Angels to Abraham's bosom, the RM sent to a place of torment. Despite being dead, there was a request for intercession by the RM to Father Abraham for his brothers. This is the second case of Life after Death, and both cases involve Jesus.
Third, in Genesis 5:24 = we read that Enoch walked with God, and he was no longer here, for God took him
Mary walked with Jesus from His conception to the time of His public ministry and was at the foot of the Cross. Did God take her ?
Humanly speaking, we all love and " adore " our Mothers - not worship them. Jesus loved perfectly and also " adored " His Mother.
Jesus also commanded us to love as He loved, so Catholics love and honour Mary who is as living as Jesus, Moses, Enoch & Abraham.
In her varied apparitions, she calls for prayer, penance and love of her Son, Jesus. (Check the Internet for Mary's picture over a Coptic church in Zeitoun, Egypt for 3 years in 1968-71).
On Judgment Day, it will go well for Catholics who loved and honoured His Mother. Protestants will not be so blessed.
Catholics believe in a Living God for whom all people are alive, not dead.
Catholics not only believe but also are sure that Mary is alive for she has appeared in many places and at different times to many people. - By their fruits you will know them -. Mary has pointed her followers to imitate Jesus - Do whatever He tells you.
In 1917, she appeared to 3 children in Fatima, Portugal and urged the following prayer - O my Jesus, forgive our sins, save us from the fires of Hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy. - ( This is a prayer that no demon would urge ). At Fatima, she promised beforehand a miracle, and later on in the same year in October 1917 she fulfilled it which is known as The Miracle of the Sun ( you can view more info on the Internet )
She also appeared at Guadalupe, present day Mexico City - in December 1531, and converted and stopped the people from practicing child sacrifice.
( Note : At Guadalupe, Mary's photo was miraculously imprinted on the native man's Tilma - or cloak - which was made of cactus fibres, that normally has a life expectancy of 50 years at the most. However it is almost 500 years later and that Tilma is still intact and kept in the shrine just outside Mexico City )
Mary has been appearing in Medjugorje, Bosnia to 6 people, then teenagers in the 1980's, and still is. Her constant message and urging is to pray and fast for the conversion of sinners. I have personally visited that place and met one of them, and am totally convinced of her - she is a married woman now - sincerity.
So if you do not believe that Jesus will send His mother to visit us, - no necromancy here - then you are the poorer for it. Note - In all her appearances, Mary has been seen and described as a beautiful lady - sometimes sad when she urged prayers for sinners - also glad at times, but mostly as a concerned human mother. Necromancy is the demon spirits imitating the voices of the dead, but who make no appearance. Later, the demons demand payment for their " services'' usually in multiplication of the value of such service. Mary, on the other hand, only asks for prayers for the conversion of sinners.
In Lourdes, France one can see the dozens of walking canes left by grateful clients who requested her intercession and were able to walk after. In Montreal, at St Joseph's Oratory, there are also a multitude of canes and walking sticks also left behind by clients grateful for St Joseph's intercession.
Excellent presentation. Very informative of the whole history. Too bad most R Cath will not learn or acknowledge this.
Catholics know that what has been said here is lies....because believe it or not...Catholics know what the Catholic Church teaches!

“And after the exhibition, Tryphaena again received her [Thecla]. For her daughter Falconilla had died, and said to her in a dream: ‘Mother, you shall have this stranger Thecla in my place, in order that she may pray concerning me, and that I may be transferred to the place of the righteous’” (Acts of Paul and Thecla [A.D. 160]).

“The citizen of a prominent city, I erected this while I lived, that I might have a resting place for my body. Abercius is my name, a disciple of the chaste Shepherd who feeds his sheep on the mountains and in the fields, who has great eyes surveying everywhere, who taught me the faithful writings of life. Standing by, I, Abercius, ordered this to be inscribed: Truly, I was in my seventy-second year. May everyone who is in accord with this and who understands it pray for Abercius” (Epitaph of Abercius [A.D. 190]).
The Martyrdom of Perpetua and Felicity
“[T]hat very night, this was shown to me in a vision: I [Perpetua] saw Dinocrates going out from a gloomy place, where also there were several others, and he was parched and very thirsty, with a filthy countenance and pallid color, and the wound on his face which he had when he died. This Dinocrates had been my brother after the flesh, seven years of age, who died miserably with disease. . . . For him I had made my prayer, and between him and me there was a large interval, so that neither of us could approach to the other . . . and [I] knew that my brother was in suffering. But I trusted that my prayer would bring help to his suffering. . . . I made my prayer for my brother day and night, groaning and weeping that he might be granted to me. Then, on the day on which we remained in fetters, this was shown to me: I saw that the place which I had formerly observed to be in gloom was now bright; and Dinocrates, with a clean body well clad, was finding refreshment. . . . [And] he went away from the water to play joyously, after the manner of children, and I awoke. Then I understood that he was translated from the place of punishment” (The Martyrdom of Perpetua and Felicity 2:3-4 [A.D. 202]).

“We offer sacrifices for the dead on their birthday anniversaries [the date of death-birth into eternal life]” (The Crown 3:3 [A.D. 211]).
“A woman, after the death of her husband . . . prays for his soul and asks that he may, while waiting, find rest; and that he may share in the first resurrection. And each year, on the anniversary of his death, she offers the sacrifice” (Monogamy 10:1-2 [A.D. 216]).
Cyril of Jerusalem
“Then we make mention also of those who have already fallen asleep: first, the patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and martyrs, that through their prayers and supplications God would receive our petition; next, we make mention also of the holy fathers and bishops who have already fallen asleep, and, to put it simply, of all among us who have already fallen asleep, for we believe that it will be of very great benefit to the souls of those for whom the petition is carried up, while this holy and most solemn sacrifice is laid out” (Catechetical Lectures 23:5:9 [A.D. 350]).
Gregory of Nyssa
“If a man distinguish in himself what is peculiarly human from that which is irrational, and if he be on the watch for a life of greater urbanity for himself, in this present life he will purify himself of any evil contracted, overcoming the irrational by reason. If he has inclined to the irrational pressure of the passions, using for the passions the cooperating hide of things irrational, he may afterward in a quite different manner be very much interested in what is better, when, after his departure out of the body, he gains knowledge of the difference between virtue and vice and finds that he is not able to partake of divinity until he has been purged of the filthy contagion in his soul by the purifying fire” (Sermon on the Dead [A.D. 382]).
John Chrysostom
“Let us help and commemorate them. If Job’s sons were purified by their father’s sacrifice [Job 1:5], why would we doubt that our offerings for the dead bring them some consolation? Let us not hesitate to help those who have died and to offer our prayers for them” (Homilies on First Corinthians 41:5 [A.D. 392]).
“Weep for those who die in their wealth and who with all their wealth prepared no consolation for their own souls, who had the power to wash away their sins and did not will to do it. Let us weep for them, let us assist them to the extent of our ability, let us think of some assistance for them, small as it may be, yet let us somehow assist them. But how, and in what way? By praying for them and by entreating others to pray for them, by constantly giving alms to the poor on their behalf. Not in vain was it decreed by the apostles that in the awesome mysteries remembrance should be made of the departed. They knew that here there was much gain for them, much benefit. When the entire people stands with hands uplifted, a priestly assembly, and that awesome sacrificial Victim is laid out, how, when we are calling upon God, should we not succeed in their defense? But this is done for those who have departed in the faith, while even the catechumens are not reckoned as worthy of this consolation, but are deprived of every means of assistance except one. And what is that? We may give alms to the poor on their behalf” (Homilies on Philippians 3:9-10 [A.D. 402]).
Augustine
“There is an ecclesiastical discipline, as the faithful know, when the names of the martyrs are read aloud in that place at the altar of God, where prayer is not offered for them. Prayer, however, is offered for other dead who are remembered. It is wrong to pray for a martyr, to whose prayers we ought ourselves be commended” (Sermons 159:1 [A.D. 411]).
“But by the prayers of the holy Church, and by the salvific sacrifice, and by the alms which are given for their spirits, there is no doubt that the dead are aided, that the Lord might deal more mercifully with them than their sins would deserve. The whole Church observes this practice which was handed down by the Fathers: that it prays for those who have died in the communion of the Body and Blood of Christ, when they are commemorated in their own place in the sacrifice itself; and the sacrifice is offered also in memory of them, on their behalf. If, then, works of mercy are celebrated for the sake of those who are being remembered, who would hesitate to recommend them, on whose behalf prayers to God are not offered in vain? It is not at all to be doubted that such prayers are of profit to the dead; but for such of them as lived before their death in a way that makes it possible for these things to be useful to them after death” (ibid., 172:2).
“Temporal punishments are suffered by some in this life only, by some after death, by some both here and hereafter, but all of them before that last and strictest judgment. But not all who suffer temporal punishments after death will come to eternal punishments, which are to follow after that judgment” (The City of God 21:13 [A.D. 419]).
“That there should be some fire even after this life is not incredible, and it can be inquired into and either be discovered or left hidden whether some of the faithful may be saved, some more slowly and some more quickly in the greater or lesser degree in which they loved the good things that perish, through a certain purgatorial fire” (Handbook on Faith, Hope, and Charity 18:69 [A.D. 421]).
“The time which interposes between the death of a man and the final resurrection holds souls in hidden retreats, accordingly as each is deserving of rest or of hardship, in view of what it merited when it was living in the flesh. Nor can it be denied that the souls of the dead find relief through the piety of their friends and relatives who are still alive, when the Sacrifice of the Mediator [Mass] is offered for them, or when alms are given in the Church. But these things are of profit to those who, when they were alive, merited that they might afterward be able to be helped by these things. There is a certain manner of living, neither so good that there is no need of these helps after death, nor yet so wicked that these helps are of no avail after death” (ibid., 29:109).
Man, don’t you hate when the Bible and the early Church Fathers (Before the 7th Century) show that you have no idea what you are talking about and are a false prophet sent to turn people away from the One True Church.
Catholic church is one true church.
