Bulliten board are a great place for tracts

[01727855185]

Thanks for watching? Its six minutes of my life lost to such banality.  This is not the Gospel. This is human hubris. Thank God for this priest and his witness to Christ. Praised be Jesus Christ!

[wjm7259]

the early church did not deferr to scripture. the council of jerusalem did not refer to scripture when it reached its decision about the gentiles. Church father s are the same way. there eas no new testament written till 14 years after the crucifixion , so the only scripture that could be deferred to was the OT

[PillarofTruth1]

Catholics know that Protestants like R9 will also use the following verses to condemn Christ's Apostolic Tradition: Mt15:3, Mk7:9, Col2:8. However, you should remember the following verses: 1Cor11:2, 2Thess2:15, 2Thess3:6. Also, the following verses supporting faith plus works: Jam2:24, Jam2:26, Gal5:6, 1Cor13:2, Jn14:15, and Mt19:16-17. Also, read the essay written by Cardinal Newman in 1884 entitled "Inspiration in its Relation to Revelation." Newman, a convert, corrects what R9 misstates.

[PillarofTruth1]

Catholics, know the following verses to support Bible+Tradition to answer the likes of R9: 1Cor11:2, 2Thess2:15, 2Thess3:6, Jn21:25, Mk13:31, Acts20:35, 2Tim1:13, 2Tim2:2, 2Pet1:20, 2Pet3:15-16, 1Pet1:25, Rom10:17, 1Cor15:1-2, Mk16:15, Mt23:2-3. Also, consult St. Athanasius (360 AD) "Four Letters to Serapion of Thmius 1, 28." And Origen (230 AD) "Fundamental Doctrines 1, preface, 2." The quotes from the Church fathers are too long to post here, but are perfect. Read Dei Verbum and Card. Newman.

[PillarofTruth1]

Catholics, remember, when dealing with evangelicals and fundamentalists, they truly love the Lord, they are the salt of the earth, and good well meaning people that have a reverence for the word of God. Catholics would do well to learn from their example and to, likewise, immerse ourselves in scripture. They're our separated brothers and sisters in the Lord. However, Satan uses the ignorance of the well meaning and the unimformed to further cleve the body of Christ. Learn apologetics! PAX

[PillarofTruth1]

Catholics should take heart and know that much of what the Ramos' were stating is considered "material heresy". Had Veronica known her faith and been well versed in apologetics, she would have been able to deconstruct the Ramos' personal interpretations of sacred scripture and sacred tradition, and preach to them the truth in love; the truth as Christ Himself gave it to His church, the Catholic Church which protects it. The Ramos' are like the JW's and LDS. They prey upon the uninformed. PAX

[PillarofTruth1]

"If Christianity is historical, Catholicism is Christianity." Cardinal Manning - Convert from Protestantism

I want to thank the Ramos' for awakening my wife and I to this modern day anti-catholicism and their spreading of ignorance ("Satan get behind me!"). As a result, we are developing an apostolate that reverses the damage they are doing to the body of Christ. We will be coming to towns in their area and asking "Bible Christians" similar questions. Catholics, please educate yourself! PAX

[R9Ministries]

Now, this should not be confused with the war that goes on in an unsaved person who holds to a works-righteousness belief system. They war as well, but they war with their flesh not by a regenerated spirit, but by a desire to obey a law that they believe will earn them something - for instance, a Catholic may fight lust because they believe they'll spend less time in Purgatory. That is a weighing of pleasure of sin over pain of punishment, not what Paul was referring to in Romans 7. SE Wilson

[R9Ministries]

I believe that Paul in Romans 7, which is what you're alluding to, is describing the war within a believer, between the flesh and the spirit, (the spirit being made alive only through repentance and faith in Christ, thus, being born again), yes, Christians sin, and I know Trish would never deny that, but the difference is, the unbeliver has no inner battle between their flesh and spirit (as Paul wrote about in Romans 7), for their spirit is dead until conversion.

[brandynne]

As other believers who do street outreach, one on one, Trish needs to share that yes believers sin and make mistakes every day, and she tends to say no they must be still unsaved, lol , which is funny because the apostle Paul describes how after being converted he struggled with doing that which he did not want to do, because the newborn spirit wars against the flesh. And Jesus said if any man say he has no sin he deceives himself and the truth is not in him. Every believer is at different stage

[m4n4b0y]

well....there is no Second titus.....i think you meant second timothy

[zigity12]

well, tequila,

Perhaps you need to check out some more of her videos, to see if she doesn't go witness to blatant non believers.

The problem is this.

Scripture asserts that it alone can provide the means for salvation (see second timothy 3:15-16) and the message in scripture is repentance towards God, and faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 20, Mark 1:15)

the "Gospel" of the catholic church, one based upon baptism and confession, differs from scripture. That's dangerous (Galatians 1:9)

[bebebj137]

@zigity12 What in the world make you think that baptism and confession is not scriptural? Wasn't it Jesus that said to ".. go out and baptise them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit" (Mt 28:19) And what did Jesus mean when he told Peter, " And whose soever sins ye retain are retained and whose soever sins you forgive will be forgiven"? (John 20:23) Sounds like confession to me!

[TequilaSnG]

Trish needs to re-read her bible and please check Mark 9:38-40, Satan is loving people like this and laughing..... he has been able to create a disruption within the truth and caused so much in-fighting amongst Christians we are looking like fools.... Trish instead of attacking Christians perhaps you can attack Satan and bring those in his camp back to Christ. I being Catholic am Christian and don't need people like you "trying" to save me. Save those that are not Christian!! Thats the mission!

[wjm7259]

amen brother Trish and other bible christians just want to fill their congregations.

[OneTrueChurch]

These types of "interviews" are typical of anti-catholics. They are edited in order to appear like the interviewee doesn't know what he is talking about. That priest was able to see the errors in protestantism and he is right when saying that there is no verse in scriptrue that teaches sola scriptura. Sorry but the verses that popped up on the screen do not support sola scriptura in the least. Also, justification by faith alone is directly condemned in James 2:24

[R9Ministries]

This video was edited in order to appear like the interviewee doesn't kknow what he is talking about?...how can I see the cut out portions that you saw? for, of course, you must have seen them to make such a statement...also, 2 Tim 3:16 does support sola scriptura...the entire verse wasn't quoted - can you give me a verse that supports contradicting scripture with traditional doctrine, and that doctrine being absorbed instead of scriptural doctrine? I just need one verse. Thanks!

[OneTrueChurch]

2 Tim 3:16 does not say that scripture is the only rule of faith just that it is A rule of faith. Big difference. The Church does not have nay teachings that contradict scripture but it does have traditions that are handed on orally "Hold fast to teh traditions that you have been taught both by word of mouth and by letter" 2 Thess 2:15

[PillarofTruth1]

Good job OneTrueChurch for defending the Church Christ himself established...the Catholic Church. Your efforts are to be commended!

[OneTrueChurch]

thanks. God Bless

[PillarofTruth1]

God's word is rooted in a tripod of truth: Scripture, Tradition, and the Church's magisterial teaching. Protestants often read verses out of context to suit their OWN tradition. If you study the early church fathers and the Bible you will find that Sola Scriptura is NOT scriptural (invention of ML). You are confusing dead tradition of men with living Apostolic Tradition as Christ intended. ML also heretically removed 7 books from the OT. Scripture needs an authoritative interpreter = Cath Ch.

[bebebj137]

Trish doesn't like that the Catholic Church interprets Scripture, but it is fine if she does. I guess she was chosen above Christ's Church to interpret Scripture for us? I'd like to know where she received her authority from; was it from Christ- like Peter did? No, she gave it to herself and that is sad, because she decided to do it her way and not Christ's way. Jesus gave the keys to the Kingdom to Peter and Peter is our 1st vicar. Pride is a strong deceiver!

[imromancatholic]

If 2 Tim 3:16 says that the Bible alone is what we go by then it says that the Old Testament is sufficient, since that is what Timothy would have known "from your childhood". Also it would have contradicted 2 Thes 2:15 and finally not all the scriptures were written then. Much of what was taught was carried on orally (see 2 Tim 2:2). The priest is right. Sola Scriptura cannot be shown from the Bible.

[allstarboyscout]

the Catholic Church and any other religious group claiming christianity can be sum up by this:

Whenever there is a high church, there is a low Saviour, Whenever they ar big on laws and ordinances, they are small in grace and mercy

Whenever there is big emphasis on good works, there is a low emphasis on salvation

Whenever there are high esteem with tradition of men, there is a low esteem of the Bible

[imromancatholic]

Nonsense. "Hold fast to the traditions you have recieved, whether by word of mouth or in writing from us.". The Traditions of Catholicism are not traditions of men. Sola scriptura is a means of man exalting his personal opinions about scripture but Peter tells us "no scripture is of personal interpretation.".

[wjm7259]

sola scriptura is a man made tradition. No one in the early church preaced that doctrine, especually paul who is erroneously siad to have created it. bible charistians need to read 2nd thess 2:15 to see what else ha said. All protestant churchs weref ounded by men. Christ etasablished ONE church ,not churches of men

[thrufaithalone]

I would say to the priest that we never see in Scripture where Jesus refered to any other writings to base our faith and life on. (I also think what he thought was "missing" was the ceremony, ritual, and mysticism of Roman Catholicism; the flesh is drawn to it)

[really2k1]

In Galatians, Paul wrote about the Judaizers who were trying to re-introduce the Law into Christianity. We are saved by grace, not by works. Paul said, "Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?"

In the same manner, works such as those that have been introduced by false doctrines are worthless. We are saved by grace, through faith and not of ourselves. It is the gift of God.

[Shoots1978]

What are you trying to say that we are trying to bring back the law? Of course were not, if you were daily reading your bible everyday we are showing people what sin is to God (Jesus) so that true repentance can come about, and He gets the glory. Christians do live by grace and that only. But as our new nature we have we now love the Law of God cause it shows us truth and bad we are and how great He is that He saved us anyways. We are so deserving hell and yet He saved us, what a God.

[really2k1]

No, actually I was talking about the priest and Catholicism and comparing it to Judaizers. I should have been more clear. I believe in what Trish is doing and I believe it to be biblical. I can only hope to be so bold. Sorry for the confusion.

[really2k1]

Even Peter was opposed by Paul because Peter was too afraid to associate with the Gentiles in front of the Jews for fear of persecution, even though the Lord commanded it.  Correcting, rebuking those who would distort the Gospel is a responsibility we all have. 2 Timothy 3:16 says that Scripture is useful for correction and reproofing. I'd rather people be upset at me for not 'accepting' their false doctrine than to fail to defend God's Word.

[PattyPryor]

Oh ya priests go through YEARS of study! not just a few classes. And stop dissing Catholics for not reading the bible. Let me tell you I read the bible everynight.

[PattyPryor]

saved my butt. You all don't even know how to act like christians. How are you 'christlike'? you put messages on a screen to make a priest look bad. I feel sorry for your ministry. I'm proud to be CATHOLIC! You don't know much about the Catholic church but your eyes still are covered. Read Surprised by Truth series of 3 books. no need to comment back. I used to watch the way of The Master. Judgemental... god will Judge you too

[simshiver]

Way to go you guys. Exellent questions as always Trish, though I think you should press the important issues more firmly. ie. Solas. If they don't understand them they cannot be saved.

[bebebj137]

Solas are traditions of men.I used to buy into this stuff that Trish speaks about and I thought,"Where did she get her authority from"?She would probably say the Bible,but so does every other denomination.Which one of the 30,000 Christian denominations is right?This is the fruit of the Reformation;actually I call it the formation,because all of a sudden there where new doctrins.Please look at what the first Christians believed,the one's who sat at the feet of the Apostels.They were Catholic's.

[really2k1]

Who gave us God's Word? God did. He has preserved His Word for us, through men. Men have never been the source of God's Word. What Calvin and Luther believed means little if it had no root in scripture such as Mary's perpetual virginity. If it has no basis in Scripture, it is a false doctrine. Peter is never mentioned as a pope anywhere in Scripture. He was a fisherman who denied Jesus three times but was empowered by the grace of God to be the leader of the apostles.

[bebebj137]

Of course God is the author of the Bible, but He didn't give us a list of Books that were deemed as inspired; The Bishop's did this at one of the councils. I know that you believe that the Bible is God's only source of speaking to us, but Catholic's don't. Where in the Bible does it say that this is God's ONLY Word? Paul say's to the disciples,"Hold fast to the Traditions that were taught to you, either by word of mouth or letter."Oh no, Paul said Tradition. Maybe that's because he was Catholic.

[mikemck123]

bebebj, it isn't that we believe that the Bible is God's only source, it's that we believe that the Bible is the sole, objective and authoritative source that all of the other sources are to be judged by.

[bebebj137]

I disagree. The Bible tells us that the Church is the pillar and bulwark of truth. The Bible is SUFFICIENT for reproof...

And when he said this all there was at that time was the Old Testament, the New Testament wasn't even around until the 4th century. This is another one of Luther's mistakes, unless you believe that we don't need the New Testament? Bible alone is a man made tradition (small t).

[mikemck123]

You can certainly disagree if you like. I wasn't trying to convince you of anything. I was just trying to correct a mistake you made about what we believe.

By the way, you're right that the Bible says that the church is the pillar of truth and isn't it interesting that, in the NT, the church always deferred to scripture?

[excatholics]

Stay with the Scripture Trish!

[cudbwrse]

Your brand of Christianity didn't show up until the 20th century. The Catholic Church can be traced back to the Apostles.

[simshiver]

Actually, it's the "brand" that Jesus Christ preached. A plain reading of the Gospels with affirm this. As far as the Catholic church, they teach traditions of men rather than the word of God alone, men can be wrong, God's word stands.

[bebebj137]

Who gave us God's Word? It was the Catholic Bishops. This "brand" of Christianity that Trish preaches is the new traditions of men. If you won't start from the very beginning, then just go back to Luther. You will see that he, along with Calvin believed in the perpetual virginity of Mary and venerated her much! Now you can't even mention our Blessed Mother without Protestants foaming at the mouth. It is just so sad. Jesus said, " Let the Church be one as Me and the Father are one".

[really2k1]

God's Word stands above all else.You cannot add to it and you cannot take away from it. That is why the church split in the first place.The Catholic Church added to the Word of God.They profess a gospel of works and numerous other doctrines that are in complete contradiction to the Bible,i.e. Mary's ascension, her perpetual virginity, praying to Mary or any saint, penance, purgatory, repetitive prayers -all false doctrines. Read the Bible for yourselves like the Bereans did and know the truth.

[bebebj137]

If you really believe this than I challenge you to read the early Church fathers, the one's whom the Apostles themselves taught. That's what I did and I found the fullness of Truth. Oh yeah, if we are to just read the Bible as the Berean's did, then we would have to throw out all of the New Testament. We didn't have the Bible as we now know it until the year 300 AD. So what you are saying is that we don't need Jesus' teachings, we only need the Old Testament! Wise up and stop following men.

[really2k1]

When i am talking about the Bereans, I am talking about their desire to search the Scriptures, not what they were reading. That's how we need to be. Even Paul opposed Peter, the original "pope," because Peter was not adhering to the Gospel. We should do likewise. Paul says that all Scripture is "INSPIRED BY GOD" and profitable for reproof and correction....Psalm 19 describes God's words as perfect, sure, right and pure. Do you disagree?

[really2k1]

Paul also said to the Galatians, "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!" In fact a majority of the letter to the Galatians was about the false doctrine creeping into their ranks in the form of the law. Paul said, "Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?"

It is sad that the Word of God is constantly being distorted to conform to the wishes of man.

[bebebj137]

That's why I challenged anyone to read what the first Christians believed. These Church fathers sat at the feet of the 12 Apostles. I did this and found that these first Christians were talking about the Eucharist as being the true body and blood of Our Lord. There is much more that led me to believe that the Catholic Church was the same Church that Christ instituted some 2000 years ago on Peter, the first Pope! The wishes of man are that all we have to do is have faith, this is much easier.

[cudbwrse]

You are spewing an incomplete and inaccurate Gospel message. Go learn REAL Christianity by researching the early Church. You'll find it to be ALL Catholic. Start by doing a search on "Early Fathers".

[simshiver]

Like Augustine?, he'd be repulsed at what the Catholic church has become.

[cudbwrse]

2 Titus 3:16 doesn't say the bible is the final authority. It says it's good for teaching.

What is the Pillar and ground of truth? The Church 1 Titus 3:15.

The Church has final authority because they gave us the scriptures.

[cudbwrse]

"they gave us the scriptures" as in the Catholic Church. You accept their authority on scriptures. Why? It doesn't make sense. If the Catholic Church is wrong, then what makes you so sure they got it right with the New Testament? There were lots of books they had to weed through. And you obviously believe they got it wrong with the Old Testament so why bother accepting the New Testament at all?

[simshiver]

No Christ has the final authority!

Matthew 28:18 18 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

[UBERROGO]

What is with the comments on the screen that are designed ot make him look like a goof? How is he going to respond to comments made on the screen?

[houseofsims]

I'm sorry about the multipost, YouTube freaked out!

[fishwithtrish]

Thanks for watching this

[jesustheonlywaytohea]

Thanks, I'll keep this on my computer and learn from it so I can witness more effectively to a Catholic person.

[robdogdogrob]

Great video Trish, I can't wait to hear the segment...
