In my days as a protestant, I often would confess my sins to other Christians due to the same teaching she verbalized about confession. I ran into many troubles from doing that because those other Christians to whom I was confessing all had different levels of discernment and none had any duty to confidentiality, and they would misunderstand, or would judge me harshly and then run and tell others. They wouldn't stop and pray for me and with me. The Catholic method of confession is far superior to the protestant ideal of just telling anyone in the church.
Good point. I had a friend who did this, and I wondered how he made out. I can see the problems with confessing to other people who are not trained in how to handle sins.
I couldn’t agree more. I asked a Protestant in person this question as to why we don’t confess our sins to one another. The really sad thing I’ve noticed from many of them is that they themselves are unwilling to share in the sins or struggles they have. I put myself out there and share to show I’m human and in need of prayers and I’ve even had family completely ignore me. No comfort, encouragement or anything. Another reason why I’m convinced that confession in Catholicism is the only thing that makes sense. It’s sad but yes, if you wear your heart on your sleeve, many will go and share your sins with others and that really hurts. Did you ever experience their lack of transparency in sin or struggles?
I love how she casually thinks she's more knowledgeable than 2,000 years of Catholic theologians who have spent their lives studying these things while she is peeking off-screen making sure that she get's the bible verses right. Like she thinks she's the first person who ever thought of these refutations of Catholic dogma. People dedicate their lives to becoming apologists to defend the faith and we're still disunited as Christians. I find it irksome that she thinks she's more learned on the subject than thousands of years of serious debaters and apologists that came before her.
Mind explaining why in Catholicism you could literally buy your way into heaven for 500+ years through indulgences, even into the 1900s? Or why the Orthodox Church doesn't believe in Purgatory, which doesn't exist in scripture either? Some of Catholicism's scams are too epic to be ignored.
@@Bathoggywinger No one buys their way into heaven. These are simply good works exchanged for a lesser sentence. As for purgatory, the EO don't believe that you go straight to heaven. They do believe that you have some sort of experience before reaching God. I would call that purgatory.
It’s unfortunate that when they leave the Catholic Church they never knew what they were a part of….and once they find a Protestant Church they somehow become experts in what they left 🤔 and in both instances they never sought the truth from the teachings of the Catholic Church itself regarding itself.
Nailed it! And the so called Holy Spirit they claim to have isn’t the Holy Spirit but a demonic spirit masquerading as the Holy Spirit. The hate they have for the Catholic Church and The Virgin Mary screams Satan.
Truth is only to be sought FROM THE BIBLE....or from sources that are IN LINE WITH THE BIBLE. n NOT an open ended reservoir with NO HEAD / SOURCE! Least of all for anyone to be seeking the Truth from the RC church...All its powers are merely claimed in such manner as matches their WORLDLY HEART FOR POWER!
@@christlyn1830 And what does the Bible say about truth and the Church? The Bible says the church is the pillar and foundation of Truth. 1TIM3:15 But if I should be delayed, you should know how to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth.
I’ll pray for her, too. In my experience, people leave because there’s a teaching upheld by Catholicism that people finds too hard to comply with, so they fall into the throes of error known as Protestantism. It all boils down to people doing what THEY want to do & NOT what God wants them to do IMHO.
Poor Cathecism is a desease in the Church. If the parents are not doing the main job the catechists are struggling since they have very limited time with the children. Once the schools were taken away from the church the battle was halfway lost.
I am a revert Catholic who came back to the Church after 40+ years of experimenting with numerous Protestant denominations. I studied the early church fathers and early church development and came to the undeniable truth that the Catholic Church is Christ’s Church. I however do struggle with certain things such as Purgatory. Pray for me.🙏
First of all, there are 2 types of Sin.. MORTAL and VENIAL sin.. Mortal sinners goes to Hell.. Venial Sinners need to purify before entering heaven.. Accrdng. To bible, nothing enters to heaven who is unclean.. All of us are sinners.. Nothing is CLEAN.. .. So now... The purifying state named by catholic as PORGATORY (PURGING,CLEANING) place
My favorite verse relating to purgatory is: Hebrews 12:23 ‘and the assembly of the firstborn enrolled in heaven, and God the judge of all, and the spirits of the just made perfect,’ It reminds me that we are made the perfect version of ourselves by God before entering heaven. It is actually a gift in many ways. 2 Peter 1:4 ‘Through these, he has bestowed on us the precious and very great promises, so that through them you may come to share in the divine nature, after escaping from the corruption that is in the world because of evil desire.’ In heaven we will come to share in the divine nature which is freedom from sin itself. If you ever feel unsure just remember: Wisdom 3:1 ‘The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment shall touch them.’
Believe it or not many Catholics fall away due to not knowing their faith. Then they get swept up by some slick Protestant with a few bible verses and next thing you know they are all alleluia I’m a real Christian now etc. Catholicism is an individual walk with Christ and each Catholic is responsible for their own salvation.
@@xuxito Yes. I once heard a convert say, in his experience, that Protestants who convert to Catholicism do so ‘cause they seek the truth wherever it may lead them & Catholics convert to Protestantism because they never really understood Catholicism to begin with.
@@xuxito That not true if you know the barbaric history you would get out ASAP. In 1532, Thomas Harding, who with his wife, had been accused of heresy, was brought before the bishop of Lincoln, and condemned for denying the real presence in the sacrament. He was then chained to a stake, erected for the purpose, at Chesham in the Pell, near Botely; and when they had set fire to the fagots, one of the spectators dashed out his brains with a billet. The priests told the people, that whoever brought fagots to burn heretics would have an indulgence to commit sins for forty days. During the latter end of this year, Worham, archbishop of Canterbury, apprehended one Hitten, a priest at Maidstone; and after he had been long tortured in prison, and several times examined by the archbishop, and Fisher, bishop of Rochester, he was condemned as a heretic, and burnt alive
Just watched this girl’s video the other day and it definitely tested my patience. But it also reminded me that I shared many of the same arguments for years, so I pray she takes the time to become more informed.
Maybe someone should send her a Catechism of the Catholic Church, so her misconceptions can be dispel led. However, in my experience. This type of prejudice is very difficult, if not impossible to dispel. As Derek Prince once remsrked: 'prejudice is Satan's greatest weapon, because it blocks the truth from being recognized.
Classic Protestant quotation: “Confess your sins ONLY to a preist” Nowhere in our beliefs does it say ONLY. You can confess to whomever you want, but only an ordained priest may offer absolution.
Speaking as someone who fell away from the church after high school up to about 3 years ago it was because I wasn’t well catechised. I feel like this is the majority of Catholics who leave the church. We really need to prioritize learning the fundamental teachings of the faith. Not just on our own but our parishes need to help its members learn the truths of the faith.
Yes, my Catholic religious education was lamentable. On the plus side, it's a lot easier to learn the faith now due to the resources available (Internet etc.)
They should find a orthodox nun or priest and stay away for the parish RCIA classes. These classes are not taught by priests or nuns with any groiunding in the catholic faith and dogam or teaching they tske a course for about a uyear or ttwo and think they can teach about a church that is 2,000 yesars old. But if orthodox priest or nun has spent their lives living, and teaching would be a better person to teach the faith than a person who only has a cliff note version.
I was raised and catechized in the church. Never paid attention. The seeds were planted though until I hit rock bottom. The Protestants came and tried to steal my soul with lies. Thank you Mary , Saints and the Holy Trinity I was given proper educational material with This Rock apologetics to reignite my fire. First time I watched this woman I thought she was so close to being a catholic. Pray for her return
that was my reasoning tha tshe never a catholic to begin with. when ever I am talking to a person about being catholic and they are a protestant. The first three words out of their mouth is they are former Catholics. and then their arguments do not even come to what they think they know about the church.
I’m so glad you talk about these type of videos and they don’t show up in my feed. I feel sorry for people that spend time telling me and others why we are wrong without looking in the mirror. All we can do is pray. Thanks JD
Coz it is ADDING ON TO what The Bible says, to teach its flock ...n to present itself to the world ...as such SPREADING DECEPTION...

RC is target here coz it is SO LIKE THE WORLD N SO LOVED BY THE WORLD...yet wld not admit that it is a RELIGION OF ITSELF, OF NO AFFILIATION TO The Church that Jesus built on earth...ie The Apostolic Church , The Catholic Christian Church...

She did not discover this on her own, she was told and is parroting what people told her. Yes, you are correct, she didn't have a clue of what the Church taught on each of the topics she brought u.
James continues encouraging his readers to express their dependence on God. This is done by participating in prayer. In previous verses, he has asked them to respond to trouble by praying to God, to respond to cheerfulness by singing songs of praise, and to respond to illness or spiritual weakness by calling for elders of the church to pray for them. So, any mature Christian Believer can pray for the sick or spiritually week as they need. It is not a special person.
They don’t confess their sins. Maybe some but when I dabbled in Protestantism for a cpl of years there was no mentioning of confessing sins. It was God knows your heart you are saved etc but no one confessed to each other their sins. Imagine the scandals and gossip it’ll create amongst the assembly. Yikes
@@kennethprather9633 Of course, in regards to praying for the sick, spiritually weak, etc. But why ignore the specific passage about confessing one’s sins?
In order to preform worship, a priest must offer sacrifice to God. The sacrifice must contain a victim, that victim must be offered to God, the victim must be slain, and the priest consumes the victim completing the sacrifice. This is exactly what the Catholic Mass is. The bread and wine are blessed, consecrated becoming the Body and Blood of Jesus, Jesus is then offered to God the Father, the Host is fractured symbolizing Jesus’s death on the cross, the priest will consume both the Body and the Blood completing the sacrifice. So, what Catholic offers sacrifice to Mary? The word “pray” means to ask. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t ask people to pray for them or doesn’t think about loved ones watching over them from heaven. Are they worshipping those people too?
@@ao19776 Well stated. Protestants don’t understand what true worship is; so they end up confusing prayer and worship together. Worship involves prayer; but not all prayer is worship.
And 66 books bibles are CONSTANTINE BIBLES!!! Canonized in the post-Constantine era. So, why do these hypocrites use them? Could it be ego and hypocrisy?
I knew exactly why I left. The RCC Barbaric History caused it. it was the Whistleblowers from within the CC that questioned it hold control of turning Christianity into a slave camp to the CC Dogma, and manmade tradition against the Gospel teaching. Once the Bible was translated into a language people could understand that was the beginning and end of the CC stronghold.
"Purified Seven Times, The Miracle of the English Bible"- Bill Bradley 1384- John Wycliffe translates the whole Bible into English for the first time in history. The "Church repays him by condemning him as a " heretic". 1536- William Tyndale was burned as a heretic for his Bible translation of the first printed English scriptures. 1537- Myles Coverdale's Bible translation was published "with the King's most gracious license.". Later, during "Bloody Mary's" reign, he was hunted for his life and forced to flee England. 1539- Coverdale's "The Great Bible" chained to the pulpits by order of King Henry VIII. Christians were executed for reading the Bible without a license. 1555- John Rogers was burned to death for publishing Matthew's Bible; became the first victim of "Bloody Mary" Queen of England. 1560- Queen Mary commands all "heretics" to return to Romanism or face the consequences. Many flee to Geneva, and the exiled church leaders produce the Geneva Bible. 1611- The seventh major English translation of the Scriptures, the King James Bible, is published and adopted as the authorized version by the people of God as the word of God for the English-speaking world. "Purified Seven Times". ......King James gunpowder plot, Masons / Jesuits attempt to stop the translation of the KJV. (PS 12:6, Eccl 8:4)
It's sad to see that that someone or something blatantly taught her prodestant interpretation while also telling her what they thought the Catholic Church Teaches. She just went with it. I hope that she can have a study session with a Catholic that knows scripture to help her see the big picture.
She showed the cry of ego, a rise up of pride! “I have direct access to God” ; “I myself can understand everything “. At this I would defer the attitude from all the saints: humility, obedience! The saints are imitating Christ our Lord ! Christ humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death- even death on a cross.
Protestants do NOT jknow the bible very well at all. They know the PARTS oif the bible that suit their angenda. Here's ONE example of many: ➨CONFESSION: Why confess to a Priest? Jesus gives power to the Priests to forgive sins: ● JOHN 20:23 He breathed on them & said, "recieve the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven, Whose sins you retain are retained" ● JAMES 5:16 Therefore CONFESS YOUR SINS TO ONE ANOTHER and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. ● MATTHEW 3:6 6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, CONFESSING THEIR SINS. . ● JAMES 5:14-15 14 Is any sick among you? let him CALL FOR THE ELDERS OF THE CHURCH; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and IF HE HAS COMMITTED SINS, THEY SHALL BE FORGIVEN. TONS of other things that they attack are also in the bible
Thank you for your video and for showing some of the most egregious and false presumptions of certain Protestants. Years ago, I was a Protestant and read my way into the Church. Even as a Protestant, it was understood that everything she said is flagrantly false. It makes me wonder what (if anything) her parents taught her.
Be careful what you say and protect your life. A careless talker destroys himself. Arrogance causes nothing but trouble. It is wiser to ask for advice. 🙏🙌🕊🌹
I’ve watched a few of Jackie’s videos. She has a very immature and superficial view of Christianity as you would expect from someone her age who has gone down the Protestant path. Having said that, I believe her heart is in the right place but she’s a lot misguided. Please pray for her.
"...There were no New Testamental writings for the earliest Christians and yet they possessed the fullness of the truth and faith of Christianity. On the day of Pentecost the Church was born and yet there were no Gospels as we know them today. It would not be a theological exaggeration to assert that the Church would be the Church in her fullness even if She did not possess the New Testament. For many raised on the Reformational principle of 'sola scriptura' this may seem a radical-even heretical-statement. ...There was a time when the Church did not possess this corpus of inspired writing and yet the Church existed in Her fullness, Christians experienced the truth of the faith in its fullness." -Father Georges Florovsky, "The Byzantine Fathers of the Fifth Century."
Keep up the good work ! Purgatory is beautiful doctrine exhibiting the mercy of God. God utilizes fire throughout sacred scripture. In Isaiah Ch 6 verses 7-9, it describes an angel touching the mouth of Isaiah with a hot ember. The angel states - “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin forgiven.”
Every protestant puts a period where it doesn’t belong in that mediator verse. There is actually a comma, and it continues “who gave His life as a ransom for many.” So, considering the definition of the word “mediator” and the placements of the commas, Christ is not the only mediator, but the only mediator who gave his life as a ransom for many. He is the only mediator that can reconcile all of humanity to God. But all of the prophets were mediators, the Angel Gabriel was a mediator, every member of the Communion of Saints can be a mediator according to the definition of the word. We need to stop redefining words and conceding ground to such Bible butchery.
That’s right. Only Christ is the mediator of our salvation. This is what the Catholic Church teaches. However, many people confuse mediation with intercession.
"I urge then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings, for all those in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and holiness. This is good and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man, Christ Jesus." 1Timothy 2:1-5 Jesus is the one Mediator of our salvation, our only Saviour. But He is not our only intercessor, as the whole passage above clearly indicates. So the one passage that fundamentalists have used to deny intercessionary prayer, when read in context, actually backs up intercessionary prayer.
@@bibleman8010 yes, intercessory prayer is a form of mediation by the definition of the word. It doesn’t not grant salvation, as Christ is the only one that reconciles all of humanity to God. But every prophet was a mediator in that they were go-betweens in the middle of two conflicting parties (God and the Israelites). As a messenger, the Angel Gabriel was a go-between when he gave God’s message to Mary, although Mary and God were not in conflict. My point is that non-Catholics tend to falsely punctuate Scripture passages thereby potentially changing its meaning and causing us to have to redefine words that don’t need a new definition. Every intercessor can be considered a mediator (little “m”), but only Christ is the capital “M” Mediator by his sacrifice on the cross which offers reconciliation with the Father to all humanity. It is a sly move they use to try to deny the power of intercession, the activity of the Communion of Saints, and the validity of good works in general.
Can someone please explain why the Catechism of the Catholic Church in Para. 969 states: 'Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation'. In what ways does Mary's intercession bring the gift of eternal salvation? Surely as salvation is of the Lord only He can bring the gift of salvation?
Thank you for putting this out. I saw that video and commented. She is the kind of person who get easily swayed because of lack of understanding. Dig deeper on your Catholic faith and you will fully be amazed.
It’s always funny and unfortunate how much 1 Timothy 2:5 gets butchered, people thinking that destroys Catholicism and Saint intercession. Anyone who reads the Bible with discernment and an honest heart should know what Paul meant in that scripture. And for any fellow protestant or non-Catholic that wants to challenge me, I’ll explain the true meaning of 1 Timothy 2:5.
How does 1 Timothy 2:5 have anything to do with intercessory prayer? For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, We all as Christians have the Holy Spirit in us and the Light. The light comes from the Father in Jesus and we can pray to him and hear from him. God is Jesus, the Father, the Holy Spirit, and the Light. Intercessory prayer is when we pray through the light to another person like a Father in law who has passed away and is in heaven. So, they can pray to Jesus for us also.
@@kennethprather9633 Indeed, so you’re in agreement then that we can ask people in the body of Christ with us, whether on Earth or in Heaven, to pray for us then right? The point of my post are those who use 1 Timothy 2:5 to counter intercession believing we aren’t allowed to ask those in Heaven to pray for us and have to go straight to Jesus.
@@bobizzle1605 Yes, we can ask anyone, but they must be going to heaven if dead, I prayed for intercession from my Father in law on a family situation that he knew about in life. And I prayed directly to Jesus also. At least 20 times a day. One day I was leaving work and a car cut me off. I was on my motorcycle. I was out for 45 minutes. Two angels held me on the bike and kept me from being severely injured. Then they took me to a room and a 19 year old sat down across from me. We talked directly about the issue and he said God will handle it. You have to go back now. Take care of my Birdie. Birdie is my wife's nickname. He was in his new body and had blonde hair which I never saw him have. But he did when he was younger. I thought that my mother in laws issues would be taken care of and she would live a long life. No, she was taken to heaven and the issue stopped. I would not use someone that I did not know. Unless I was praying about Ireland (a country )and asked St Patrick. Or something.
same old protestant argument. It is foolish when you do not understand something about your family, you turn to your Neighbour instead of your mother or father for clarifications.
The shalow catholic wondering around.. Depends where their mind take them too: Atheist , satanist , protestant , islam budhism new age etc.. Only with grace of GOD will make them back home on some point of time.. Only if they seek and or ask for the Truth.. What is Truth? Ask Pontius Pilatus..
You wouldn't think there would still be an audience for these arguments, but she is very pretty so... At this point, I'm sure she's making money from YT, so we'll see if she continues to look into it.
Of all religions, why is the Catholic faith so hated, so vilified and so attacked? No other religion experiences this level of negativity. So why? Simple. It is a religion whose root is based in suffering to gain salvation; a religion DIRECTLY linked to Christ Jesus. Yes, the hierarchy of the Catholic Church may indeed have corrupted elements, but the ground roots keep it strong and true. Other religions preach good deeds to gain salvation. The Catholic Faith, built on the very foundation of Christ Savior's life and teachings, teaches that salvation can only be gained through Christ Savior.....the girl in the video is sadly lost and has become like a wolf in sheep's clothing that Christ warned of. May she realize the error of her way; for if not, Providence will surely humble her soon enough, as she continues to mislead.
I saw her video a while ago and Im glad finally someone reacts to her in an appropriate way! You did a great job explaining the right things! You earned yourself a new sub! :)
There's only two instances in the whole Bible where God breath on man, one is as we know 1. On Adam, and he received the power to live Second as you know.....on the Apostles, guess why and what they received. God bless.
No where in Catholic teaching does it say *ONLY* confess your sins to a priest! This lady wasn't listening at the start of every single mass she attended when we say the Penitential Rite!
If we can only pray to Jesus, then why do we say the Our Father? Also, St. Paul was not talking about prayer when he used the term "mediator". "Mediator" is a legal term; a mediator is one who resolves a dispute. The sacrifice on the cross resolved (mediated) the dispute between God and man, and has nothing to do with praying. Did she ever read the first sentence in the same chapter? 1Ti 2:1 I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all men: Whoops.
@@bammbamm12 where in the Bible does it say the Roman church has that authority? And what if the person or persons who decide the most important issues regarding salvation are wrong. Millions of people will be wrong. Apostle Paul said workout your own salvation with fear and trembling. If I’m wrong it’s my failure, not anybody else’s. The Word of God is the final authority.
Good work bro ....however I cannot believe she was an ex Catholic 😮she must have been badly catechised......yeah and latest stats from PEW is that there are now 48000 different Protestant denominations😂.....just imagine the different interpretations .....I feel sad for her .
One more observation about Father Abraham - he was called that since he is the Father of the Israelites, Him being the first one to whom God gave the promise.
Destroyed?😅 I love how Catholic arguments are based on the voice of reason in many cases. They criticize Protestants for making claims that are mostly found in Catholic doctrine. It shouldn’t be a Protestants job to point where in doctrine it is but many of these converts seems to have never read most of them and there are many. I have read in doctrine all sorts of stuff like Mary is a mediator and sinless also queen of heaven. All that is in doctrine. How about the Vatican made a claim some years ago that the Jewish people have a different way to salvation? They don’t need to believe in Jesus. Really? You see Catholics are not their own popes but I on the other hand can make my own interpretations luckily.
You: I have read in doctrine all sorts of stuff like Mary is a mediator and sinless also queen of heaven. Me: Mary is an intercessor and NOT a mediator!!!! Your founder, Luther taught that Mary was sinless and queen of Heaven so those are Protestant doctrines and you are in heresy to them. You: How about the Vatican made a claim some years ago that the Jewish people have a different way to salvation? They don’t need to believe in Jesus. Really? Me: Please check your facts. No one said that they don't need Jesus. You: Name a passage in the bible that the catholic church says you are free to interpret? Me: We can interpret every verse of Scripture but we do it in the context of what the church teaches. One day I was debating two Protestants. One argued that Jesus was not divine and the other that Hell was temporary. That silliness/heresy does not exist where the spirit of truth dwells.
@@bridgefin catholic doctrine does call Mary a mediator regardless of what you say. look through them because there is a lot! instead of trying to win arguments with protestants , read more doctrine and you will see why these arguments even exist.
@@zodel8631 The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines all doctrine nd dogma. It does not indicate that Mary is mediator. That proves you wrong. Here is what it says and it shows Jesus as our mediator. 2674 Mary gave her consent in faith at the Annunciation and maintained it without hesitation at the foot of the Cross. Ever since, her motherhood has extended to the brothers and sisters of her Son "who still journey on earth surrounded by dangers and difficulties." Jesus, the only mediator, is the way of our prayer; Mary, his mother and ours, is wholly transparent to him: she "shows the way" (hodigitria), and is herself "the Sign" of the way, according to the traditional iconography of East and West.
This girls deck is huge. This is keeping holy the Sabbath! Shame on this prot, they only have a bible reading and singing for their sabbaths? I think not! How dare she judge the rich religion of Christ with her barn yard gathering. We have Biblical study classes but were simply talking about the reenactment of the last super Holy Thursday!!
People leave the Catholic Church not because of what they know but what they don’t know. My impression is that she is getting what she think she knows from the net by virtue of of where she is looking. I suggest she read the catechism of the church listen to Father Mike Schmitz pod cast on the subject but I think she is a hater so prey for her
Weak Catholics become Protestants. Strong Protestants become Catholics. Scott Hahn is a prime example. He was a Protestant pastor who converted to Catholicism.
Former Catholics often say things like, “I went to Catholic schools for eight years…” or “I was a Catholic for most of my life…” as a preface to the anti-Catholic rant they are about to unleash against one or more doctrines of the Catholic faith. I will label these doctrines X, Y, and Z. The problem is that almost invariably, the former Catholic simply misunderstands what the Church teaches about X, Y, and Z. They have incomplete or false ideas about those subjects. This is shown to be true by the testimonies of converts TO Catholicism who often report such as, “When I was a Protestant, I thought all Catholics believed X, Y and Z, and I tried to show them that they were wrong. But the more I researched X, Y and Z, the more I realized that the Catholics were right, and I was wrong about those things! That’s why I’m a Catholic today.” So, the people who misunderstood X, Y and Z left the Church while those who finally understood the truth about X, Y and Z ended up converting to the Catholic Church. This situation applies equally to those reverts who leave the Catholic Church and eventually come back. The ignorant leave while the knowledgeable come in.

I've amassed quite a large library over the past 40 years, much of it from old convents and seminary libraries, as well as Catholic thrift shops like St. Vincent de Paul. Among them are many Catholic Bible translations from before and after Vatican II. Most all the pre-Vatican II Bibles have two things in common. A prayer suggested to the Holy Ghost before and after reading the Scriptures asking for wisdom to understand the text, and an Indulgence granted to those who spend at least 15-30 minutes a day reading the Holy writ. Nothing in these insists only priests know how to interpret the Bible, simply (along with Papal Encyclicals) encouraging the prayerful reading of scripture.
Historically, how well did the RCC do at encouaging its members to read the Bible? How lovingly did they receive the people who began translating it into the common languages of the people?
Other than Jerome’s Latin Vulgate in 385, there was also these- 680 - Caedmon of Whitby, known for the earliest “old english” interpretation (in part) of the scriptures. He is listed as a saint in the church. 700 - Aldhelm [Eadhelm] bishop of Sherborne, another saint of the church, published the Psalms in old english 710 - Guthlac, hermit near Peterborough 735 - Venerable Bede’s work 820 - Bishop Egbert 864 - Saints Cyril and Methodius (Slavic complete ??) 880 - Saint King Alfred the Great partial work 1002 - Archbishop Ælfric 1186 - Miroslav Gospel (Siberian) 1335 - The Royal Tetraevangelia (Bulgarian 4 gospels)
Most people were illiterate so the bible was preached in word and in image in things like stained glass windows. IF people could read they read in Latin so the church put the bible in that language. The gospel has been preached since day one.
@darrellperez1029 You: King James was authority by and Anglican and Luther, in his own accord. Me: Neither King James nor "Anglican" possessed any authority. The Catholic Church has the authority of Jesus to bind and loose and Peter has the keys to the kingdom.
Blessed be the ordained, for they have embraced the Holy Orders. I recognize their authority to forgive sins as Jesus willed His ministry to continue the forgiveness of sins through apostolic successions in His Church. I accept the dogma of purgatory. The only thing not defined is the duration of stay in purgatory before going to heaven as there is no basis for it -- only God knows. As a Catholic, one must accept the Church in its entirety. You must not pick and choose, and rightfully so. If you are struggling in a particular verse or lack understanding then seek out a brother who is more knowledgeable. If you are still not satisfied then seek out a priest. Don't just not agree with it and leave -- those are the actions of a foolish, prideful, and weak person.
The "reform" was based on men's egos - nothing more. The true heroes were the Catholic counter-reformers who suffered and remained faithful while praying and fighting for the true BEHAVIORAL reformation the Church needed.
Dreadful and totally inaccurate exegesis of Rev 5 vs 8. For starters absolutely no mention of Mary. 'God's people' are referred to in this verse (vs8b) and this means all Christians who are in fact 'saints' by virtue of the fact that they are in union with Christ Jesus. See who Pauls letters are addressed to e.g. Ephes 1 vs1b. There are no special 'saints' among the people of God whose prayers are more efficacious than other Christians. All Christians are saints. Period.
@@howardgilpin8818 and with the plethora of interpretations of the Bible in the world today what makes yours the correct one? Is it the infallible one? If not, who really cares? On the other hand there is this to ponder and answer if you would… History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their individual lists of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time, growing in numbers of hundreds of “inspired” NT writings. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved it by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself? Also you might want to read Heb 12:1… but not before you answer that question above.

She was so BRAINWASHED! There are FOUR biblical readings at EVERY Mass! Every Mass! Same old tired nonsense.
In my days as a protestant, I often would confess my sins to other Christians due to the same teaching she verbalized about confession. I ran into many troubles from doing that because those other Christians to whom I was confessing all had different levels of discernment and none had any duty to confidentiality, and they would misunderstand, or would judge me harshly and then run and tell others. They wouldn't stop and pray for me and with me. The Catholic method of confession is far superior to the protestant ideal of just telling anyone in the church.
There is no "protestant ideal of just telling anyone in the church."
Good point. I had a friend who did this, and I wondered how he made out. I can see the problems with confessing to other people who are not trained in how to handle sins.
I couldn’t agree more. I asked a Protestant in person this question as to why we don’t confess our sins to one another. The really sad thing I’ve noticed from many of them is that they themselves are unwilling to share in the sins or struggles they have. I put myself out there and share to show I’m human and in need of prayers and I’ve even had family completely ignore me. No comfort, encouragement or anything. Another reason why I’m convinced that confession in Catholicism is the only thing that makes sense. It’s sad but yes, if you wear your heart on your sleeve, many will go and share your sins with others and that really hurts. Did you ever experience their lack of transparency in sin or struggles?
@@Liliesofthefield-h3t Yes, I have had that same experience. Too many times I had to deal with that, and I just closed myself off to people.
Thank u for your wisdom. You hit the nail on the head.
As a former protestant, this is what you are taught, but I cannot believe how ignorant this poor lady is, we have to pray for her
I love how she casually thinks she's more knowledgeable than 2,000 years of Catholic theologians who have spent their lives studying these things while she is peeking off-screen making sure that she get's the bible verses right. Like she thinks she's the first person who ever thought of these refutations of Catholic dogma. People dedicate their lives to becoming apologists to defend the faith and we're still disunited as Christians. I find it irksome that she thinks she's more learned on the subject than thousands of years of serious debaters and apologists that came before her.
Mind explaining why in Catholicism you could literally buy your way into heaven for 500+ years through indulgences, even into the 1900s? Or why the Orthodox Church doesn't believe in Purgatory, which doesn't exist in scripture either? Some of Catholicism's scams are too epic to be ignored.
@@Bathoggywinger No one buys their way into heaven. These are simply good works exchanged for a lesser sentence. As for purgatory, the EO don't believe that you go straight to heaven. They do believe that you have some sort of experience before reaching God. I would call that purgatory.
Let us pray for her so the Devil can not manipulate her mind and her heart anymore. Amen.
People ignore the good the catholic Church has done
It’s unfortunate that when they leave the Catholic Church they never knew what they were a part of….and once they find a Protestant Church they somehow become experts in what they left 🤔 and in both instances they never sought the truth from the teachings of the Catholic Church itself regarding itself.
Nailed it!
And the so called Holy Spirit they claim to have isn’t the Holy Spirit but a demonic spirit masquerading as the Holy Spirit.
The hate they have for the Catholic Church and The Virgin Mary screams Satan.
Truth is only to be sought FROM THE BIBLE....or from sources that are IN LINE WITH THE BIBLE. n NOT an open ended reservoir with NO HEAD / SOURCE!
Least of all for anyone to be seeking the Truth from the RC church...All its powers are merely claimed in such manner as matches their WORLDLY HEART FOR POWER!
@@christlyn1830 And what does the Bible say about truth and the Church?
The Bible says the church is the pillar and foundation of Truth.
1TIM3:15 But if I should be delayed, you should know how to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth.
If the teachings of the Catholic faith is not biblical, why stay?
@@kato1400 The finished Bible is historically a Catholic book. Compiled and Canonized by the Catholic Church. Easy to look up and verify.
Feel sad for this young lady. It’s simply poor catechesis. We’ll just continue to pray for those fallen away Catholics. ❤
Amén
Amen Amen let's pray for are brothers and sisters 🙏
I’ll pray for her, too. In my experience, people leave because there’s a teaching upheld by Catholicism that people finds too hard to comply with, so they fall into the throes of error known as Protestantism. It all boils down to people doing what THEY want to do & NOT what God wants them to do IMHO.
@@NP-vk8de It’s not my Church. It’s Christ’s Church. A criticism is a far cry from an “ attack”. Lemme ask you, is it wrong to hate?
Poor Cathecism is a desease in the Church. If the parents are not doing the main job the catechists are struggling since they have very limited time with the children. Once the schools were taken away from the church the battle was halfway lost.
I wish we as Christians spent as much time helping the poor as we do arguing.
Why can’t we do both ?
@@JDcatholicEngage
Precisely why we have the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy. Admonish the sinner and feed the poor.
I am a revert Catholic who came back to the Church after 40+ years of experimenting with numerous Protestant denominations. I studied the early church fathers and early church development and came to the undeniable truth that the Catholic Church is Christ’s Church. I however do struggle with certain things such as Purgatory. Pray for me.🙏
First of all, there are 2 types of Sin.. MORTAL and VENIAL sin..
Mortal sinners goes to Hell..
Venial Sinners need to purify before entering heaven..
Accrdng. To bible, nothing enters to heaven who is unclean..
All of us are sinners.. Nothing is CLEAN..
.. So now... The purifying state named by catholic as PORGATORY (PURGING,CLEANING) place
I’m an anonymous nun (this isn’t my real name) and I will pray for you and your doubts, blessings
My favorite verse relating to purgatory is:
Hebrews 12:23
‘and the assembly of the firstborn enrolled in heaven, and God the judge of all, and the spirits of the just made perfect,’
It reminds me that we are made the perfect version of ourselves by God before entering heaven. It is actually a gift in many ways.
2 Peter 1:4
‘Through these, he has bestowed on us the precious and very great promises, so that through them you may come to share in the divine nature, after escaping from the corruption that is in the world because of evil desire.’
In heaven we will come to share in the divine nature which is freedom from sin itself.
If you ever feel unsure just remember:
Wisdom 3:1
‘The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment shall touch them.’
Typical Protestant misconceptions/arguments🙄
Don’t think she is an ex catholic- she’s so misinformed
She is an ex-catholic because she is utterly misinformed.
Believe it or not many Catholics fall away due to not knowing their faith.
Then they get swept up by some slick Protestant with a few bible verses and next thing you know they are all alleluia I’m a real Christian now etc.
Catholicism is an individual walk with Christ and each Catholic is responsible for their own salvation.
@@xuxito Yes. I once heard a convert say, in his experience, that Protestants who convert to Catholicism do so ‘cause they seek the truth wherever it may lead them & Catholics convert to Protestantism because they never really understood Catholicism to begin with.
@@xuxito That not true if you know the barbaric history you would get out ASAP.
In 1532, Thomas Harding, who with his wife, had been accused of heresy, was brought before the bishop of Lincoln, and condemned for denying the real presence in the sacrament. He was then chained to a stake, erected for the purpose, at Chesham in the Pell, near Botely; and when they had set fire to the fagots, one of the spectators dashed out his brains with a billet. The priests told the people, that whoever brought fagots to burn heretics would have an indulgence to commit sins for forty days.
During the latter end of this year, Worham, archbishop of Canterbury, apprehended one Hitten, a priest at Maidstone; and after he had been long tortured in prison, and several times examined by the archbishop, and Fisher, bishop of Rochester, he was condemned as a heretic, and burnt alive
She never was to start with it is a way for them to justify their views of the church.
Just watched this girl’s video the other day and it definitely tested my patience. But it also reminded me that I shared many of the same arguments for years, so I pray she takes the time to become more informed.
Maybe someone should send her a Catechism of the Catholic Church, so her misconceptions can be dispel led. However, in my experience. This type of prejudice is very difficult, if not impossible to dispel. As Derek Prince once remsrked:
'prejudice is Satan's greatest weapon, because it blocks the truth from being recognized.
Classic Protestant quotation:
“Confess your sins ONLY to a preist”
Nowhere in our beliefs does it say ONLY. You can confess to whomever you want, but only an ordained priest may offer absolution.
You can confess to your priest, wife/husband, the police or announce it on the news if you like. Only one of them can forgive them on behalf of Jesus.
Speaking as someone who fell away from the church after high school up to about 3 years ago it was because I wasn’t well catechised. I feel like this is the majority of Catholics who leave the church. We really need to prioritize learning the fundamental teachings of the faith. Not just on our own but our parishes need to help its members learn the truths of the faith.
Yes, my Catholic religious education was lamentable. On the plus side, it's a lot easier to learn the faith now due to the resources available (Internet etc.)
Agree but the foundation is set by parents, non practicing Catholics sending their children to Catholic schools
They should find a orthodox nun or priest and stay away for the parish RCIA classes. These classes are not taught by priests or nuns with any groiunding in the catholic faith and dogam or teaching they tske a course for about a uyear or ttwo and think they can teach about a church that is 2,000 yesars old. But if orthodox priest or nun has spent their lives living, and teaching would be a better person to teach the faith than a person who only has a cliff note version.
I was raised and catechized in the church. Never paid attention. The seeds were planted though until I hit rock bottom. The Protestants came and tried to steal my soul with lies. Thank you Mary , Saints and the Holy Trinity I was given proper educational material with This Rock apologetics to reignite my fire.
First time I watched this woman I thought she was so close to being a catholic. Pray for her return
When the girl mentioned the lines "it is finished" I knew right away she didn't know what was "finished" 😢
that was my reasoning tha tshe never a catholic to begin with. when ever I am talking to a person about being catholic and they are a protestant. The first three words out of their mouth is they are former Catholics.
and then their arguments do not even come to what they think they know about the church.
She is so ignorant and thus is false in her criticism.
I disagree
I’m so glad you talk about these type of videos and they don’t show up in my feed. I feel sorry for people that spend time telling me and others why we are wrong without looking in the mirror. All we can do is pray. Thanks JD
Nowhere in any Magisterial document does the Church say that only a priest can interpret the Bible. It's unfortunate how misinformed she is.
We can pray for her, as she is self-absorbed and looking for a cheap, easy belief system.
Or click bait.
The Roman Catholic Church is the only target 😢
"If the world hates you, remember that it hated Me first" John 15:18.
No. All Christian nationalism sucks equally.
Seems that protestants study the Bible just to attack Catholics

She was VERY poorly catechised
Thank you for defending the faith and the Catholic Church ❤
I’m curious then, who exactly does this woman confess her sins to if she follows James 5:16?
James continues encouraging his readers to express their dependence on God. This is done by participating in prayer. In previous verses, he has asked them to respond to trouble by praying to God, to respond to cheerfulness by singing songs of praise, and to respond to illness or spiritual weakness by calling for elders of the church to pray for them.
So, any mature Christian Believer can pray for the sick or spiritually week as they need. It is not a special person.
@@kennethprather9633who are those "Elders" James is talking about? "Episkopos" maybe?. Meaning, priests.
They don’t confess their sins. Maybe some but when I dabbled in Protestantism for a cpl of years there was no mentioning of confessing sins.
It was God knows your heart you are saved etc but no one confessed to each other their sins.
Imagine the scandals and gossip it’ll create amongst the assembly.
Yikes
@@xuxito I know. But that’s my point. How can you profess to follow Scripture & then ignore certain parts?
@@kennethprather9633 Of course, in regards to praying for the sick, spiritually weak, etc. But why ignore the specific passage about confessing one’s sins?
I like how they never finish that Mediator line.
Or how they lump Mediator and intercessor together.
100
They never read it completely through. They always end it with a ‘period’ that’s not there. 🤦🏻
In order to preform worship, a priest must offer sacrifice to God. The sacrifice must contain a victim, that victim must be offered to God, the victim must be slain, and the priest consumes the victim completing the sacrifice.
This is exactly what the Catholic Mass is. The bread and wine are blessed, consecrated becoming the Body and Blood of Jesus, Jesus is then offered to God the Father, the Host is fractured symbolizing Jesus’s death on the cross, the priest will consume both the Body and the Blood completing the sacrifice.
So, what Catholic offers sacrifice to Mary?
The word “pray” means to ask. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t ask people to pray for them or doesn’t think about loved ones watching over them from heaven. Are they worshipping those people too?
@@ao19776 Well stated. Protestants don’t understand what true worship is; so they end up confusing prayer and worship together. Worship involves prayer; but not all prayer is worship.
Crazy 🤦 she doesn't know whose the owner of the Bible that she use😊
So true. 😮
And 66 books bibles are CONSTANTINE BIBLES!!! Canonized in the post-Constantine era. So, why do these hypocrites use them? Could it be ego and hypocrisy?
God is the owner of the Bible
I knew exactly why I left. The RCC Barbaric History caused it. it was the Whistleblowers from within the CC that questioned it hold control of turning Christianity into a slave camp to the CC Dogma, and manmade tradition against the Gospel teaching.
Once the Bible was translated into a language people could understand that was the beginning and end of the CC stronghold.
"Purified Seven Times, The Miracle of the English Bible"- Bill Bradley
1384- John Wycliffe translates the whole Bible into English for the first time in history. The "Church repays him by condemning him as a " heretic".
1536- William Tyndale was burned as a heretic for his Bible translation of the first printed English scriptures.
1537- Myles Coverdale's Bible translation was published "with the King's most gracious license.". Later, during "Bloody Mary's" reign, he was hunted for his life and forced to flee England.
1539- Coverdale's "The Great Bible" chained to the pulpits by order of King Henry VIII. Christians were executed for reading the Bible without a license.
1555- John Rogers was burned to death for publishing Matthew's Bible; became the first victim of "Bloody Mary" Queen of England.
1560- Queen Mary commands all "heretics" to return to Romanism or face the consequences. Many flee to Geneva, and the exiled church leaders produce the Geneva Bible.
1611- The seventh major English translation of the Scriptures, the King James Bible, is published and adopted as the authorized version by the people of God as the word of God for the English-speaking world. "Purified Seven Times".
......King James gunpowder plot, Masons / Jesuits attempt to stop the translation of the KJV.
(PS 12:6, Eccl 8:4)
I'll take my chances with the Church who is hated.
NO NO NO.Taking your chances is not having true living faith!!!!!
@lorenzobianchini4415 it was a figure of speech. Christ said the church will be hated for his sake. My faith is aligned with this.
It's sad to see that that someone or something blatantly taught her prodestant interpretation while also telling her what they thought the Catholic Church Teaches. She just went with it. I hope that she can have a study session with a Catholic that knows scripture to help her see the big picture.
The excatholic is right about what the rcc teaches.
You can’t even spell Protestant and you feel you are a qualified theologian to criticize? Come on George, grow up!
@darrellperez1029 she certainly is correct.
@darrellperez1029 confessing to a priest, praying to Mary are a couple of true things she mentioned.
@darrellperez1029 can you show me an example of anyone confessing their sins to a priest?
Can you show me anyone in the NT that prays to Mary?
She showed the cry of ego, a rise up of pride! “I have direct access to God” ; “I myself can understand everything “. At this I would defer the attitude from all the saints: humility, obedience! The saints are imitating Christ our Lord !
Christ humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death-
even death on a cross.
catholic here, watching from the Philippines. i subscribe.
In reality as a christian Myself, I have observed that many protestants are much much more stronger in faith than any catholic peer😂

Thanks Drew ! God bless
Same old arguments
Just pain ignorance.
Hopefully she won’t start a New denomination.
Protestants do NOT jknow the bible very well at all. They know the PARTS oif the bible that suit their angenda. Here's ONE example of many: ➨CONFESSION: Why confess to a Priest? Jesus gives power to the Priests to forgive sins:
● JOHN 20:23 He breathed on them & said, "recieve the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven, Whose sins you retain are retained"
● JAMES 5:16 Therefore CONFESS YOUR SINS TO ONE ANOTHER and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
● MATTHEW 3:6
6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, CONFESSING THEIR SINS. .
● JAMES 5:14-15
14 Is any sick among you? let him CALL FOR THE ELDERS OF THE CHURCH; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and IF HE HAS COMMITTED SINS, THEY SHALL BE FORGIVEN.
TONS of other things that they attack are also in the bible
Thank you for your video and for showing some of the most egregious and false presumptions of certain Protestants. Years ago, I was a Protestant and read my way into the Church. Even as a Protestant, it was understood that everything she said is flagrantly false. It makes me wonder what (if anything) her parents taught her.
Be careful what you say and protect your life. A careless talker destroys himself. Arrogance causes nothing but trouble. It is wiser to ask for advice. 🙏🙌🕊🌹
She was never Catholic to begin with. Please pray for this lost soul. #proudcatholic
Agreed.
I’ve watched a few of Jackie’s videos. She has a very immature and superficial view of Christianity as you would expect from someone her age who has gone down the Protestant path. Having said that, I believe her heart is in the right place but she’s a lot misguided. Please pray for her.
Weak Catholics become Protestants. 😢
Of course she turned the comments off for that video knowing she would get torn apart by Catholics
But I feel blessed to be catholic.
Yeah, we can trust her. She knows more than God and His Church. 🙄
It’s Satan’s counterfeit Christianity
"...There were no New Testamental writings for the earliest Christians and yet they possessed the fullness of the truth and faith of Christianity. On the day of Pentecost the Church was born and yet there were no Gospels as we know them today. It would not be a theological exaggeration to assert that the Church would be the Church in her fullness even if She did not possess the New Testament.
For many raised on the Reformational principle of 'sola scriptura' this may seem a radical-even heretical-statement. ...There was a time when the Church did not possess this corpus of inspired writing and yet the Church existed in Her fullness, Christians experienced the truth of the faith in its fullness."
-Father Georges Florovsky, "The Byzantine Fathers of the Fifth Century."
Keep up the good work !
Purgatory is beautiful doctrine exhibiting the mercy of God.
God utilizes fire throughout sacred scripture. In Isaiah Ch 6 verses 7-9, it describes an angel touching the mouth of Isaiah with a hot ember. The angel states - “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin forgiven.”
she is not misinformed. She is lying. She should remember the 9th commandment.
Another revert! I enjoy your content and your enthusiasm.
Every protestant puts a period where it doesn’t belong in that mediator verse. There is actually a comma, and it continues “who gave His life as a ransom for many.” So, considering the definition of the word “mediator” and the placements of the commas, Christ is not the only mediator, but the only mediator who gave his life as a ransom for many. He is the only mediator that can reconcile all of humanity to God. But all of the prophets were mediators, the Angel Gabriel was a mediator, every member of the Communion of Saints can be a mediator according to the definition of the word. We need to stop redefining words and conceding ground to such Bible butchery.
That’s right. Only Christ is the mediator of our salvation. This is what the Catholic Church teaches.
However, many people confuse mediation with intercession.
"I urge then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings, for all those in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and holiness. This is good and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man, Christ Jesus."
1Timothy 2:1-5
Jesus is the one Mediator of our salvation, our only Saviour. But He is not our only intercessor, as the whole passage above clearly indicates. So the one passage that fundamentalists have used to deny intercessionary prayer, when read in context, actually backs up intercessionary prayer.
@@bibleman8010 yes, intercessory prayer is a form of mediation by the definition of the word. It doesn’t not grant salvation, as Christ is the only one that reconciles all of humanity to God. But every prophet was a mediator in that they were go-betweens in the middle of two conflicting parties (God and the Israelites). As a messenger, the Angel Gabriel was a go-between when he gave God’s message to Mary, although Mary and God were not in conflict. My point is that non-Catholics tend to falsely punctuate Scripture passages thereby potentially changing its meaning and causing us to have to redefine words that don’t need a new definition. Every intercessor can be considered a mediator (little “m”), but only Christ is the capital “M” Mediator by his sacrifice on the cross which offers reconciliation with the Father to all humanity. It is a sly move they use to try to deny the power of intercession, the activity of the Communion of Saints, and the validity of good works in general.
Every Christian is a saint by virtue of their union with Christ Jesus.
Can someone please explain why the Catechism of the Catholic Church in Para. 969 states: 'Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation'.
In what ways does Mary's intercession bring the gift of eternal salvation?
Surely as salvation is of the Lord only He can bring the gift of salvation?
Thank you for putting this out. I saw that video and commented. She is the kind of person who get easily swayed because of lack of understanding. Dig deeper on your Catholic faith and you will fully be amazed.
The only church mentioned in the bible in Greek 😊, Acts 9:31 in greek Ekklesia Kath-holes 💪🏼
Let this serve as a reminder to all of us to be more vigilant when opening our mouths. Try to well informed before speaking.
It’s always funny and unfortunate how much 1 Timothy 2:5 gets butchered, people thinking that destroys Catholicism and Saint intercession. Anyone who reads the Bible with discernment and an honest heart should know what Paul meant in that scripture.
And for any fellow protestant or non-Catholic that wants to challenge me, I’ll explain the true meaning of 1 Timothy 2:5.
How does 1 Timothy 2:5 have anything to do with intercessory prayer?
For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,
We all as Christians have the Holy Spirit in us and the Light.
The light comes from the Father in Jesus and we can pray to him and hear from him.
God is Jesus, the Father, the Holy Spirit, and the Light.
Intercessory prayer is when we pray through the light to another person like a Father in law who has passed away and is in heaven. So, they can pray to Jesus for us also.
@@kennethprather9633 Indeed, so you’re in agreement then that we can ask people in the body of Christ with us, whether on Earth or in Heaven, to pray for us then right?
The point of my post are those who use 1 Timothy 2:5 to counter intercession believing we aren’t allowed to ask those in Heaven to pray for us and have to go straight to Jesus.
@@bobizzle1605 Yes, we can ask anyone, but they must be going to heaven if dead, I prayed for intercession from my Father in law on a family situation that he knew about in life. And I prayed directly to Jesus also. At least 20 times a day. One day I was leaving work and a car cut me off. I was on my motorcycle. I was out for 45 minutes. Two angels held me on the bike and kept me from being severely injured. Then they took me to a room and a 19 year old sat down across from me. We talked directly about the issue and he said God will handle it. You have to go back now. Take care of my Birdie. Birdie is my wife's nickname. He was in his new body and had blonde hair which I never saw him have. But he did when he was younger.
I thought that my mother in laws issues would be taken care of and she would live a long life. No, she was taken to heaven and the issue stopped.
I would not use someone that I did not know. Unless I was praying about Ireland (a country )and asked St Patrick. Or something.
Pray for this Lady and for those who are abandoned the Catholic faith
Full of strawmen and misconceptions on your part, too.
Thank you so much for becoming Catholic!
It was reading the Bible that brought me into the Church, myself.
She was never a catholic.she doesn’t even understand the teachings of the church.what a shame ❤
You destroyed her arguments! Love this channel glad I found it and subscribed to it. May GOD bless you
same old protestant argument. It is foolish when you do not understand something about your family, you turn to your Neighbour instead of your mother or father for clarifications.
Wow... Just wow... I still can't believe how silly she is.. She didn't event read the cathecism and wrongly represent catholic teaching...
I’m gonna go pray my rosary for her now ❤
Isn’t that idolatry
This is sad. Let us pray for these individuals to return to the Catholic church.
Love your videos JD. That you present debate style is helpful. God bless brother.
Thanks for the encouragement Lee ! God Bless
Congratulations from Brazil
The shalow catholic wondering around..
Depends where their mind take them too:
Atheist , satanist , protestant , islam budhism new age etc..
Only with grace of GOD will make them back home on some point of time..
Only if they seek and or ask for the Truth..
What is Truth? Ask Pontius Pilatus..
Very well done God bless ✝️
You wouldn't think there would still be an audience for these arguments, but she is very pretty so...
At this point, I'm sure she's making money from YT, so we'll see if she continues to look into it.
Of all religions, why is the Catholic faith so hated, so vilified and so attacked? No other religion experiences this level of negativity. So why? Simple. It is a religion whose root is based in suffering to gain salvation; a religion DIRECTLY linked to Christ Jesus. Yes, the hierarchy of the Catholic Church may indeed have corrupted elements, but the ground roots keep it strong and true. Other religions preach good deeds to gain salvation. The Catholic Faith, built on the very foundation of Christ Savior's life and teachings, teaches that salvation can only be gained through Christ Savior.....the girl in the video is sadly lost and has become like a wolf in sheep's clothing that Christ warned of. May she realize the error of her way; for if not, Providence will surely humble her soon enough, as she continues to mislead.
Thank you for that convincing anwers to all her misinterpretations... Thank you Father
Thanks for this!
I saw her video a while ago and Im glad finally someone reacts to her in an appropriate way! You did a great job explaining the right things! You earned yourself a new sub! :)
There's only two instances in the whole Bible where God breath on man, one is as we know
1. On Adam, and he received the power to live
Second as you know.....on the Apostles, guess why and what they received.
God bless.
No where in Catholic teaching does it say *ONLY* confess your sins to a priest! This lady wasn't listening at the start of every single mass she attended when we say the Penitential Rite!
The book of leviticus shows people confessing to a priest
If we can only pray to Jesus, then why do we say the Our Father? Also, St. Paul was not talking about prayer when he used the term "mediator". "Mediator" is a legal term; a mediator is one who resolves a dispute. The sacrifice on the cross resolved (mediated) the dispute between God and man, and has nothing to do with praying. Did she ever read the first sentence in the same chapter? 1Ti 2:1 I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all men: Whoops.
Out of Jesus mouth we pray to the Father and no one else, in Jesus name, especially dead people!
@@randypoe618 - The Catholic Church is authorized by Jesus Christ to be the final word on these issues.
@@bammbamm12 where in the Bible does it say the Roman church has that authority? And what if the person or persons who decide the most important issues regarding salvation are wrong. Millions of people will be wrong. Apostle Paul said workout your own salvation with fear and trembling. If I’m wrong it’s my failure, not anybody else’s. The Word of God is the final authority.
@@randypoe618 - The Bible belongs to the Catholic Church - keep away from our books.
Good work bro ....however I cannot believe she was an ex Catholic 😮she must have been badly catechised......yeah and latest stats from PEW is that there are now 48000 different Protestant denominations😂.....just imagine the different interpretations .....I feel sad for her .
Sad to watch, and honestly, watching her judging is so disturbing to watch.
She is talking nonsense
How can someone be so ignorant and so PROUD at the same time? It truly is sad that someone can be so misled without actually doing some research.
May our Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on her. Amen
Does she even realized, that Martin Luther and John Calvin had a different views on a few Bible verses? Pray for that young lady.
By her logic I can't ask anyone I know to pray for me... Because I'd be worshiping them... 🤣🤣
One more observation about Father Abraham - he was called that since he is the Father of the Israelites, Him being the first one to whom God gave the promise.
Destroyed?😅 I love how Catholic arguments are based on the voice of reason in many cases. They criticize Protestants for making claims that are mostly found in Catholic doctrine. It shouldn’t be a Protestants job to point where in doctrine it is but many of these converts seems to have never read most of them and there are many. I have read in doctrine all sorts of stuff like Mary is a mediator and sinless also queen of heaven. All that is in doctrine. How about the Vatican made a claim some years ago that the Jewish people have a different way to salvation? They don’t need to believe in Jesus. Really?
You see Catholics are not their own popes but I on the other hand can make my own interpretations luckily.
You: I have read in doctrine all sorts of stuff like Mary is a mediator and sinless also queen of heaven.
Me: Mary is an intercessor and NOT a mediator!!!! Your founder, Luther taught that Mary was sinless and queen of Heaven so those are Protestant doctrines and you are in heresy to them.
You: How about the Vatican made a claim some years ago that the Jewish people have a different way to salvation? They don’t need to believe in Jesus. Really?
Me: Please check your facts. No one said that they don't need Jesus.
You: Name a passage in the bible that the catholic church says you are free to interpret?
Me: We can interpret every verse of Scripture but we do it in the context of what the church teaches. One day I was debating two Protestants. One argued that Jesus was not divine and the other that Hell was temporary. That silliness/heresy does not exist where the spirit of truth dwells.
@@bridgefin catholic doctrine does call Mary a mediator regardless of what you say. look through them because there is a lot! instead of trying to win arguments with protestants , read more doctrine and you will see why these arguments even exist.
@@zodel8631
The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines all doctrine nd dogma. It does not indicate that Mary is mediator. That proves you wrong. Here is what it says and it shows Jesus as our mediator.
2674 Mary gave her consent in faith at the Annunciation and maintained it without hesitation at the foot of the Cross. Ever since, her motherhood has extended to the brothers and sisters of her Son "who still journey on earth surrounded by dangers and difficulties." Jesus, the only mediator, is the way of our prayer; Mary, his mother and ours, is wholly transparent to him: she "shows the way" (hodigitria), and is herself "the Sign" of the way, according to the traditional iconography of East and West.
This girls deck is huge. This is keeping holy the Sabbath! Shame on this prot, they only have a bible reading and singing for their sabbaths? I think not! How dare she judge the rich religion of Christ with her barn yard gathering. We have Biblical study classes but were simply talking about the reenactment of the last super Holy Thursday!!
People leave the Catholic Church not because of what they know but what they don’t know. My impression is that she is getting what she think she knows from the net by virtue of of where she is looking. I suggest she read the catechism of the church listen to Father Mike Schmitz pod cast on the subject but I think she is a hater so prey for her
Weak Catholics become Protestants. Strong Protestants become Catholics. Scott Hahn is a prime example. He was a Protestant pastor who converted to Catholicism.
Former Catholics often say things like, “I went to Catholic schools for eight years…” or “I was a Catholic for most of my life…” as a preface to the anti-Catholic rant they are about to unleash against one or more doctrines of the Catholic faith. I will label these doctrines X, Y, and Z.
The problem is that almost invariably, the former Catholic simply misunderstands what the Church teaches about X, Y, and Z. They have incomplete or false ideas about those subjects.
This is shown to be true by the testimonies of converts TO Catholicism who often report such as, “When I was a Protestant, I thought all Catholics believed X, Y and Z, and I tried to show them that they were wrong. But the more I researched X, Y and Z, the more I realized that the Catholics were right, and I was wrong about those things! That’s why I’m a Catholic today.”
So, the people who misunderstood X, Y and Z left the Church while those who finally understood the truth about X, Y and Z ended up converting to the Catholic Church. This situation applies equally to those reverts who leave the Catholic Church and eventually come back.
The ignorant leave while the knowledgeable come in.
Consecrated marriage, celibate or male female, is exercising an absolute power of authorisation of advantageous combining of all the activities of the c.33,000 christian role groups.
Completely false what she said.
Her bad arguments just want me to stay in Christ’s church more!
I've amassed quite a large library over the past 40 years, much of it from old convents and seminary libraries, as well as Catholic thrift shops like St. Vincent de Paul. Among them are many Catholic Bible translations from before and after Vatican II. Most all the pre-Vatican II Bibles have two things in common. A prayer suggested to the Holy Ghost before and after reading the Scriptures asking for wisdom to understand the text, and an Indulgence granted to those who spend at least 15-30 minutes a day reading the Holy writ. Nothing in these insists only priests know how to interpret the Bible, simply (along with Papal Encyclicals) encouraging the prayerful reading of scripture.
On point brother.
She could of pulled up a few videos on TH-cam to answer all of her fake beliefs. So sad that she believes all of this nonsense, 😢🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Historically, how well did the RCC do at encouaging its members to read the Bible? How lovingly did they receive the people who began translating it into the common languages of the people?
Other than Jerome’s Latin Vulgate in 385, there was also these-
680 - Caedmon of Whitby, known for the earliest “old english” interpretation (in part) of the scriptures. He is listed as a saint in the church.
700 - Aldhelm [Eadhelm] bishop of Sherborne, another saint of the church, published the Psalms in old english
710 - Guthlac, hermit near Peterborough
735 - Venerable Bede’s work
820 - Bishop Egbert
864 - Saints Cyril and Methodius (Slavic complete ??)
880 - Saint King Alfred the Great partial work
1002 - Archbishop Ælfric
1186 - Miroslav Gospel (Siberian)
1335 - The Royal Tetraevangelia (Bulgarian 4 gospels)
Most people were illiterate so the bible was preached in word and in image in things like stained glass windows. IF people could read they read in Latin so the church put the bible in that language. The gospel has been preached since day one.
@darrellperez1029
You: King James was authority by and Anglican and Luther, in his own accord.
Me: Neither King James nor "Anglican" possessed any authority. The Catholic Church has the authority of Jesus to bind and loose and Peter has the keys to the kingdom.
Blessed be the ordained, for they have embraced the Holy Orders. I recognize their authority to forgive sins as Jesus willed His ministry to continue the forgiveness of sins through apostolic successions in His Church.
I accept the dogma of purgatory. The only thing not defined is the duration of stay in purgatory before going to heaven as there is no basis for it -- only God knows.
As a Catholic, one must accept the Church in its entirety. You must not pick and choose, and rightfully so. If you are struggling in a particular verse or lack understanding then seek out a brother who is more knowledgeable. If you are still not satisfied then seek out a priest. Don't just not agree with it and leave -- those are the actions of a foolish, prideful, and weak person.
Mary and the saints are biblical and so is their intercession. Rev 5:8. The protestant "reformers" are not biblical.
The "reform" was based on men's egos - nothing more. The true heroes were the Catholic counter-reformers who suffered and remained faithful while praying and fighting for the true BEHAVIORAL reformation the Church needed.
Dreadful and totally inaccurate exegesis of Rev 5 vs 8. For starters absolutely no mention of Mary.
'God's people' are referred to in this verse (vs8b) and this means all Christians who are in fact 'saints' by virtue of the fact that they are in union with Christ Jesus. See who Pauls letters are addressed to e.g. Ephes 1 vs1b. There are no special 'saints' among the people of God whose prayers are more efficacious than other Christians. All Christians are saints. Period.
@@howardgilpin8818 and with the plethora of interpretations of the Bible in the world today what makes yours the correct one? Is it the infallible one? If not, who really cares? On the other hand there is this to ponder and answer if you would…
History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their individual lists of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time, growing in numbers of hundreds of “inspired” NT writings. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved it by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
Also you might want to read Heb 12:1… but not before you answer that question above.
