@andrewthao17 When somebody says something which is not just wrong, but makes no logical sense, it is fair to call what they are saying stupid. It is a simple matter of logic.
I am trying to maybe gain some knowledge and understand something here but all I read so far is very confused mainly because all of the personal attacking about personal belief. I know I should to the bible but I don't thing it says too much about religion denominations.
@andrewthao17 It should not be to the Bible FIRST and ONLY; the Church is the foundation of the truth. The Bible says nothing about denominations - because there was only one Church when it was written; the Catholic Church. Different sects teach different things - they cannot all be right.
I'm Lutheran and I go to a highschool that teaches primarily Reformed things. In this town there is 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, reformed churches. A couple of days ago a boy in my school made an analogy to something else: "It's like trying to make the Pope believe in Christianity, it just doesn't work." Some one else said "What do you mean?"... "The Pope is CATHOLIC."
That seemed to shut the other guy up. Implying that they don't think Catholics are Christian, which enrages me...
@caitlinandgoldfish Who's pushing anything down anyone's throat? You came here to watch this, right? If you don't like it, then don't click on an obviously religious video! And people CAN believe what they want - and many people believe (such as you do) it is a duty to correct people when they are wrong.
Catholics need to tell those of the hundreds of new churches that also call themselves christians that the Church established by Christ had dealt with heresies throughout her history. The novel teachings of these NEW churches are nothing but recent heresies that have to deal with too. This recent heretical tradition is the kind that pick and choose sets of the new heresies depending on their liking. They either conform their church to their liking or choose one which fancy's them.
@joshebizonline Why should we take Christ off the cross? He died there to save us - should be not acknowledge His most important action? Also; if He's not on it, how do you know it is His? Loads of other people were crucified.
Mary isn't on altars - you are confusing other architecture because of your ignorance.
We don't worship the pope - again, you ignorance and hatred blinds you.
@SaintMichaelsMedia Jesus is dead on that Cross - did he not rasie from the dead?
Why is mary always in the core belief of Catholic churches?
The pope.....IF u have Jesus in your heart, you dont need a pope-. John 14:6 "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. if you wanna live for Christ, Live a life having a relationship with Him.
i am not Blind - i know the truth and i believe Jesus I LORD
@joshebizonline Why is Jesus dead on the Cross? Seriously - why do you say that? It is NOT a teaching of the Church that is Christ dead, it is Christ suffering for our sins. The Eucharist is LIVING flesh.
Mary is not "the core belief" - Christ is. Again, you simply demonstrate your ignorance.
@joshebizonline Catholics DO have a relationship with Christ - we come to the Father THROUGH Christ in the manner He set up; the Eucharist. Read John 6 and then tell me why you don't eat Christ's flesh and drink His blood. Really eat His real flesh and real blood. If you do not, you have no life in you.
u see if Christ is the Center of the Catholic Church then do u not have a relationship with him? all i see in the Catholic church is RELIGION. Yeah duh we take holy communion so i dont know wat u r trying to say( Real flesh? real blood? )
Well, when you clearly do not understand Catholic teaching and keep misrepresenting it, that is ignorance. It does not mean stupid - it means you lack knowledge, not intellect. You say your self "i [sic] dont [sic] know wat [sic] u [sic] r [sic] trying to say" which clearly demonstrates an ignorance (lack of knowledge) of what Catholic teaching IS concerning the Eucharist.
@SaintMichaelsMedia u do that is a short form dont u ? - Ignorance- lack of knowledge- stupid - SAME THING
whatever man - Pray for me all YOU want cuz i dont see anything that there is to be prayed about cuz i Believe in Christ just as YOU are. but i still rest my case Religion and a realationship with God is 2 different things....
@joshebizonline I also know that you missed the word "know" from your first sentence and missed apostrophies and did not use "are" and misspelled "what" . . . at that point, I have to wonder just how interested you are in this discussion. It is not like you were lacking space to write complete sentences. It shows a lack of interest and respect.
@joshebizonline Anyway; you "rest your case"? I have yet to see a case, but fine - it is rested with your lack of awareness that one can be ignorant (i.e. lacking knowledge) and yet not be stupid. You are certainly ignorant - you admit as such when you say you don't know.
And you are fighting a strawman - no-one is saying religion and relationship are the same, but rather that Catholics have a relationship with Christ which is the one He wanted humans to have, which is THROUGH a religion.
@joshebizonline But you rest your case. You rest it after telling me to "watch your tongue, boy". I've watched mine, and I've watched yours say very little of value. Your case is rested and so you can rest your tongue too if that's all you have to say.
God bless! I'll pray for you to come to the fullness of truth in the Catholic Church and no longer spread falsehoods about her because of ignorance. I pray you will learn the truth, even if you are unwilling to accept it.
But I should watch my tongue, no? And I'm only a boy, doubtless to be compared to a "man", and so have no right telling my elder and better anything?
If that's your view, and an unwillingness to deal in charity and dialog (you learning what you admit you don't know) then you are eager to proceed in ignorance and certainty of your own position.
I'll watch my tongue and shut up and no longer dialog with you. I'll pray for you, though.
Show me where the Bible tells us to pray to Mary. Show me in The Word of God where we should be asking for forgiveness from priests and not from the only one worthy of forgiving us of our sins. Christ is the way, the Truth and The life and no one comes to the father but by him. Only Christ can lead you to the father and only through the blood of Christ can we be forgiven. No man on earth can forgive you of the sins that you commit against God Almighty. Jesus and only Jesus is the way.
@IlovemyLordandSavior These questions have been answered before, but I'm feeling generous. Where in the Bible does it NOT say we should talk to holy people? Also, where in the BIble does it say something has to be in the Bible to be true? (The Bible says exactly the opposite, in fact). Sola Scriptura is a lie and interpretation of the Bible by private individuals is forbidden in the Bible.
Also, Matt 9:2-8 where the apostles are specifically given the power to forgive sins.
I'm on the road to becoming Catholic! I was a protestant set out to prove Catholics wrong and.....well they pretty much proved me wrong. I thank God as often as I remember, that I am thankful that I finally found the truth and fullness of his word. Thanks for the videos! God Bless
ok one question. How are catholic religion the true faith and the first when it was developed between 300 and 400 years after the close of scripture? DUR NOT FIRST!
@MW2Ghost100 ONE question? Is that why you posted five idiotic comments? In any case, Scripture was closed and canonized by the Church around 400 AD - the Catholic Church was founded in 33AD.
; if you really read the bible , you would know that there is no founder to Christianity . its not that '' Christianity '' is found , its is already there. There was already Christians since the beginning. it was never said in the Bible that the Son of God is the founder of catholic.
people, please pray to God for guidance of THE TRUTH. Have Faith in the lord for he is only TRUE.
@lilpunkblazzer How can there have been Christians (meaning "followers of Christ") before Christ was born? Certainly, there were followers of the One True God (the Jews) but these people did not have the full revelation of Christ - which Christians do AFTER the birth of Christ (which was about 2000 years ago).
I prayed to God for guidance to the truth - He told me the Catholic Church is true. Your move.
@SaintMichaelsMedia i prayed to God for guidance to the truth , He told me that the Christian Church is true.
There is a Big difference between a Catholic and Christian. prove why is Catholic Church are the Original authentic faith ? i have a document to show you, READ the Bible.
@lilpunkblazzer Right, so both of us prayed and we got different answers. So, what now? It comes down to personal interpretation. I have read the Bible - cover to cover - and I am Catholic BECAUSE of what it says there. So, what now? Seriously - what now? You cannot interpret the Bible - the Bible is not a matter for private interpretation. Do you think you can privately interpret the Bible? The Church is the pilar and foundation of the truth, wouldn't you say?
@Adriangrosvenor For 2000 years Catholics have been praying to Jesus - in Adoration, in the Mass, in other situations - and have been receiving graces and answers and love and participating in a conversation with the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. And we also receive the flesh of Jesus intimately, in the most supreme act of love God can give to a human. We are so lucky and blessed.
@SaintMichaelsMedia Right...........So when you pray to the host do you receive any answer? And when can you pray to the host? I dont believe in Mass seems rather evil to me. So again what do you guys here when u pray to the host? Am not joking at your belief we all are judged by the knowledge we have.
@Adriangrosvenor Did you not read my response, or are you being deliberately obtuse? We "have been receiving graces and answers and love and participating in a conversation with the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity". And how DARE you say the Mass - the supreme act of worship, divinely mandated by Christ Himself in John 6 and at the Last Supper - is "evil"! Your channel is full of videos about the Bible, so it is impossible to believe you have not read these verses.
@Adriangrosvenor The only thing which can excuse you is ignorance of Catholicism; you know we must eat the body & blood of Christ in order to be normatively saved, but that you don't feel this is what happens at Mass. Let me assure you this is what happens at Mass - God is present in the flesh and we receive Him in an intimate and real way which no Protestant can hope to experience. I pray the whole world becomes Catholic, because without it you may be denied the glorious salvation Jesus offers
@SaintMichaelsMedia I did not see anything in the bible about eating Jesus flesh, neither is God present in this act. The crucifixion of Jesus daily was not spoken of in any Gospel. Bread=Word of God. Wine =Doctrine. John simply means to receive the word of God daily as it is as important to you as your food, and to be sound in all doctrine of the scriptures. Simply live and understand the way of God. Am good being a Protestant. Its the true way of God, seperate from man made traditions
@Adriangrosvenor "I did not see anything in the bible about eating Jesus flesh" - so you didn't read the Bible, then? Jn 6:53. As for your "bread=..." and "wine=..." - sorry, thanks for playing, but you lose. That isn't ANYWHERE in ancient Christianity, no-one holds to it before around 1600AD, and it isn't supported by the Gospels which say "my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink".
Protestantism IS a man-made tradition. It is a lie and has no power to save.
(I accidentally deleted a comment from Adriangrosvenor when I went to approve it; my error. Here it is, copied from my email notification. As Christ is my witness, this is EXACTLY the words he wrote);
@SaintMichaelsMedia I became a Protestant because we were protesting against catholocism, those before me were Protestant and those after me will be. Sorry if this offends you, but I wont be coming to any form of catholocism.
@Adriangrosvenor "I became a Protestant because we were protesting against catholocism"
Well, you are honest, at least.
"I wont be coming to any form of catholocism."
If that is the case then there's no point in my talking to you. This channel exists simply to bring people to Christ, nothing more, nothing less. If you are going to refuse to even listen, and say "NEVER!" with arrogant pride, then there is no point in carrying on this conversation.
What this man says in the video is true. We Catholics are the true faith of Jesus Christ. Emperor Constantine didn't create the church. He was simply converted after seeing a vision during a battle. He came back to Rome and found St. Peter's tomb and built The Vatican over it. We than built Constantinople in the east which was said to have the most beautiful cathedral in the world. However Constantinople was destroyed and what remains now is Istanbul.
If SaintMichaelsMedia hasn't said this already, a sign in the bible that we should pray to Mary is when the wine ran out at the wedding feast at Cana. They went to Mary, and Mary said, "Go to Jesus." Jesus then turned water into wine. That is a sure sign that Mary intercedes for us before God.
@schmidtm1010 And, sorry - I got you confused with someone else who has been asking similar questions elsewhere and he was CLEARLY baiting. I apologize - mea culpa.
@schmidtm1010 You've never believed the Eucharist is necessary for salvation? When Jesus says "If you do not eat the flesh of the son of man & drink His blood you have no life in you"? Weren't you taught John 6? Non-Catholics CAN be saved but we have no idea how. They have no normative salvation but that's not the same as saying they're all going to Hell. Can they be saved? Yes, God can do anything - but that is not the same as saying they WILL be saved or have normative salvation. They don't.
@schmidtm1010 No, I don't believe that - and the mere fact you ASK this question when we don't say ANYTHING to indicate it tells me you aren't interested in sensible, polite dialog. We don't say that, but you want to give the impression we do. That is disingenous, mean spirited and completely unnecessary. Why am I even bothering with such baiting questions?
@schmidtm1010 The Orthodox Churches have valid succession, the Anglicans do not - they trace their "orders" to Cranmer, and they do not possess valid orders. In addition, their "consecration" of women and homosexuals is unacceptable. Women simply CANNOT receive the office of orders.
There is only one Church and it's not a location or a human run organization. And nobody will be redeemed by the Church, we can only be redeemed by Christ.
@thewordofgod2010 What absolute tosh - Jesus Christ Himself says He will build His Church on the Apostle Peter, AND says that people should "go to the Church" if faithless people will not listen to them. That means the Church is an organization which can be "gone to" for advice, doctrine and teaching. The Apostles and Apostolic Fathers taught the Church subsists within the Roman Catholic Church (Ignatius' letter is a good place for that).
@thewordofgod2010 Also, no - people are not redeemed by the Church. They are redeemed by Christ. But only the Church can BRING Christ to them; body, blood, soul and divinity. Without the Eucharist, there IS NO SALVATION (words of Jesus, John chap 6)
My dear Catholic brother, John 6:35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."
"Whoever, comes to me" Jesus said!
btw, Jesus was born in a stable because all sacrificial lambs were born there. He was placed in a manger because Christ is indeed food for the Church.
@thewordofgod2010 I note you selectively quote from that passage; elsewhere in the same chapter Jesus says EAT and REAL FOOD. Meaning, we must REALLY eat His Flesh which is REALLY food. That is, we LITERALLY have to eat and drink of Him. This is not symbolic.
Your selective quotation of scripture is telling - you are simply here to confuse faithful Christians with half-truths. We are NOT saved by faith alone - the Bible EXPLICITLY says that in 2 James.
@SaintMichaelsMedia Not being selective these boxes won't fit the entire passage. We've both read it. I was just quoting our Lord there to bring out to entire meaning. I do believe that the body of Christ is indeed real food.
@thewordofgod2010 But the entire meaning is NOT what you quote; you emphasize COMES TO not the meaning of COMES AND EATS. And only in the Catholic Church is found the Eucharist, because ONLY the Church has the priesthood to confect the Eucharist and only the Church has the theology of the Eucharist. Other communities are simply teaching belief in Jesus, not a literal eating of His flesh. Do you believe we LITERALLY eat Jesus's flesh? As in, chew on it and swallow it and digest it? Literally.
@thewordofgod2010 How about you tell the passage COMPLETE? a common denominator with Protestants is that they'll quote a Biblical passage, BUT IT'S RARELY in its whole. Same thing with the "faith alone" thingy... So it's either you quote the entire sentence or you do not. This is why there are thousands of Protestant denominations....
Great points. I am not a Roman Catholic, but I definitely agree with you here (though I have reservations with saying that Christ established the Roman Catholic Church). It is really sad that one should have to ask if Catholics are Christian.
@rayjt17 Don't look now - but you are teaching EXACTLY that. You are telling people what they should do - you are basically teaching "follow me" :) So, you admit you are anti-Christ. Begone from here, anti-Christ person who posted offensive messages elsewhere on our videos! Begone and be blocked!
I have to apologize to Michael. I recognize that liberal theology in the Church is undermining the faith and placing doubts in people's minds. I was a fan of Raymond Brown but I can see his teachings are leading to a watering down of the faith. Could anyone suggest some good Catholic books to read to strengthen my Catholic faith?
@modomnoc1 Watch Michaels's videos but I would also recommend some of Scott Hahn's boks for starters. There are so many books. I would also recommend also some books on the Early Church Father since these successors of the Apostles really support the Catholic Church and almost all her doctrine.
@modomnoc1 The best book to read to strengthen your faith would, in my opinion, would be the Catechism of The Council of Trent, also known as the Roman Catechism. It was formulated during the Reformation to further elaborate and describe the faith to priests in response to the Protestant heresies. The language is precise, unlike the more recent Catechism of the Catholic Church, where the language is more vague. Don't forget that prayer, especially the rosary, will help strengthen your faith. :)
Duh....Yes Catholics ARE Christians..We believe in Jesus.. Read John 3;16For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.,,,
Let's reiterate: Anglican/Protestant splits were started as political movements by unhappy individuals, the Catholics never left the church, they remained THE church.
The one statement I get the most is the Constantine one. "Your religion was founded by him, whereas we followed Christ Himself"... then other mention the Protestant Reformation because "Jesus was the number one Protestant".
I ask for real proof, but they change the topic to the inquisitions, the Babylon, etc...
this is not a comment to be validated; it's just a request
Would you please delete that slandering comment I posted months ago, and where I mentioned the Inquisition and all? I can't delete it myself since it was posted from an account I've deleted. The deleted account is LDSfaithDefender1
@LDSfaithDefender2 I will approve this one, so it is clear you apologize for the comments made and do not stand by them. As they are part of a discussion (and do reveal a common - allbeit invalid - criticism of the Church) I will leave the original comments there. That way, people can see the anti-Catholic argument and the correct response (that is, the talk about the inquisition is indeed slanderous) when they visit this page.
Every catholic should read THE TWO BABYLONS by Alexander Hislop. You can find the book online and read it for free if you google THE TWO BABYLONS. One entire catholic church in our area read it. You need to read it too.
@BusWatcher Yes, everyone needs to read this book just to see how STUPID anti-Catholics can be. And then people need to read the DOZENS of books which refute it, and the massive amount of information available online showing that the entire thing is garbage. Ralph Woodrow is a good place to start - he used to believe it, then he decided to actually, you know, READ SOMETHING and DO RESEARCH and found out it was rubbish. He published a very good refuation.
Anyone who believes THE TWO BABYLONS is silly. It contains no evidence, no reliable sources, and is simply pure conjecture. The meanest historical study reveals it to be false.
Alas, many Protestants today DO believe it. It is so obviously rubbish, and has been refuted so many times.
These people are fools, or evil. They might be fairly clever HATEFUL people who know it's a lie, but spread it anyway. That is probably more accurate, because no-one could be so dumb as to believe it honestly.
@BJJistheway The biggest problem with protestantism is that they live by a book. Not even the Bible. It's a mutilated bible, and Protestants live by it. THAT'S IDOLATRY. One of proof that Protestants aren't even Christian. They think they are but they don't even act Christian-like.
@BJJistheway Jesus honored His Mother Mary all the time; He was humble and obeyed His Mother all the time setting an example to us to follow; that is the reason He says on the cross to St. John; "Behold Thy Mother"--He was giving His Mother Mary to us forever.
@BJJistheway The visible Church compiled the Bible, while the Bible was being compiled, the Church kept preaching. If there is not one single copy of the Bible left, the Church will keep preaching. That means authority, means Magisterium. Christ never commanded to write the new testament.
@BJJistheway >> But scripture is what we should base our beliefs on. Would you agree?
No. Scripture is based on the Tradition of the Church. This is a simple historical fact - and easily proven by the fact Scripture is written BY the Church and the Bible is assembled BY the Church.
>> And was Jesus running around saying hailmaries and teaching about merits
Given the fact the Hail Mary is a series of Biblical quotes and related concepts, I find it very likely He did say it. And He certainly salvation by works (the parable of the sheep & goats springs to mind, as well as the teaching He gave James which he recorded in his letter).
@BJJistheway Yes - it means "scripture only". It is the belief that everything relating to Christianity is contained within the pages of Sacred Scripture (the Bible). It is the belief that there is nothing relating to Christianity which is not found in the Bible.
@BJJistheway Sola Scriptura never appears in the Bible. Sola scriptura is SPECIFICALLY refuted in the Bible. Sola Scriptura is a lie, a heresy, and trash.
@CurlyBap17 >> >> Nobody owned bibles and if they did they were in latin which mean't they couldn't understand it!
Absolute garbage. If you are going to lie about history, you can go away. I have no time for liars.
The Catholic Church was the first group to translate the Bible into the vernacular - beginning in the 5th century. People we WELL AWARE of the Bible - because it was read to them.
Thank you for admitting Protestants changed the Bible.
>> the passages that weren't were never changed
Rubbish. Luther added "alone" and was arrogant about the fact; he claimed he needed no authority to do so, even though he admitted it was not in the original text.
Mormons are not Christians, and you are wrong on virtually every point of doctrine. Your coming here and attempting a friendly "we are like you!" is disingenuous and a classic exercise in defending an evil religion.
@SaintMichaelsMedia Your answer's the kind of reply I get evrytime I try to defend Catholics.Truth is, the Catholic Church is a satanic cult,according to Mormon Scripture. And the Inquisition did have millions of innocents tortured and burned at the stake. You ARE the evil side, not the Mormons.Besides,your church didn't even exist before the 4rd century: that you dare attribute it to the Lord Himself (Jesus) is a total blasphemy. The way you treated me has finally shown me your true colors.
@LDSfaithDefender1 Oh, I thought you would have quit while you were not too far behind. But no . . .
>> I try to defend Catholics
Why do you? I mean, if we are (as you say) a Satanic cult, why do you defend what you think is a Satanic cult? There are two explanations - one, you think you are satanic and serve satan as best you can. Two, you defend Catholics so you can lie and get an advantage.
>> the Inquisition did have millions of innocents tortured and burned at the stake
History does not support this - but I wouldn't expect you to believe history and historians; as the Mormons constantly lie about pre-Columbian archaeology. Your entire belief is based on verifiably false claims which are just garbage.
>> your church didn't even exist before the 4rd century
Is that why we have letters from around 100 AD which mention the Catholic Church? And masses more documentary evidence? And you have a book which was made up by Joseph Smith, who was a criminal and a charlatan?
If people want to know what garbage the Mormons believe - and they won't tell it you themselves, because they know you would reject it, so they lie - check our website. We have some great resources there!
@LDSfaithDefender1 Joseph Smith was a false prophet. Jesus said there would be no more revelation. Also, how can Mormons account for the fact that there is no archaeological evidence for the "ancient" tribes, metalurgies, languages, cities, technologies, or battes in the Americas of which the Book of Mormon claims? There is no evidence. So, 100's of thousands of people lived in these places but no one has found any evidence? Show me the evidence.
@LDSfaithDefender1 sorry mormon heretic, but the church didn't kill miillions first of all, during the inquisition, at the time, the popuulation of europe didn't have millions yet, if the church killed millions, there wouldn't even have been a single person left. secondly, the inquisitions were only in spain. get your facts right. yours is satanic.
@LDSfaithDefender1 by the way. Our church did exist before the 4th century. Read, St. Ignatius, bishop of Antioch 107 A.D. St. Irenaeus, bishop of Lyons 189 A.D, St. Justin the Martyr 155 A.D. They weren't Mormon.
What happened when you looked at God? You died. Christ came flesh so that we could see and love him.
That's were we differ. I belive through only Jesus we are saved. You belive we are through others...or. That we are able to have a connection through others.
I do respect her! What an amazing miricale to happen to her! But she was human. Blessed she is! But human.
@TheCorrster You know - you need to LEARN what Catholics actually DO believe before you go shooting your mouth off about what we do; because you are wrong, and it makes you look foolish and ignorant.
>> You belive we are [saved] through others
Nope. And now apologize for lying about Catholic teaching, please.
>> That we are able to have a connection through others.
Yes - I can have a connection with Christ through His mother in just the same way as I can have a connection with a friend through his mother. It is not INSTEAD of a connection with Christ directly, but AS WELL.
(Actually, you DON'T have a meaningful connection with Christ as - according to Jesus - you have no life in you because you don't eat His flesh.)
Where did you get the idea Catholics DON'T think she is human?
If I were you, I would go away and LEARN something before shooting your mouth off again - you are just getting everything about what we believe wrong. It really makes your arguments weak and irrelevant.
We are not saved through works. By Gods grace and Holy Spirt CAN we even try. We should do what Jesus told us to obey his commands not out of fear only then can we be saved! We obey because we are over joyed at the love God has shown us. We can't do a ritual, give to charity or any good deed wich IS GOOD. it is good! But are "good" is "like filthy rags!" we are sinners at birth because of the curse...only Jesus saves.
@TheCorrster I dont have a bible right here, so I cant tell the exact passage, but I believe it says we are sinful we have become unclean and our deeds are like dirty rags. There are many more passages in the bible that call us to do good. Also, during the reformation, the bible was changed. It now reads "saved through faith alone" but it didnt always. When the books were removed, many passages were changed. Dirty rags, yes but please read it in its entirety.
No one comes to the father except by me. =through me. I trully don't understand how we come to Mary. She was chosen by God. But I can't see were we go to her and she guides us to him? It seems a direct verse.
@TheCorrster Even assuming the verse means "we can only interact with the Divine THROUGH Christ" (rather than the correct interpretation that Humans interact with the Divine BECAUSE Christ is the fully human / fully divine Incarnation) ... how did we "get" Jesus?
Mary gave birth to Him. She have Him his body and blood.
No Mary = no Incarnation. A little respect for her, please.
This man is speaking the truth, protest-ants, are just that protestors against the true faith, started by Jesus Christ by his instructions to St Peter. protest-ants only exist to challenge God, jesus Christ. God's will and authority was vested in St Peter to create his church, the Catholic Church. protest-ants are frauds, obsessed with being saved, making money for Pastors/elders, and putting down Catholics in a vain lying attempt to justify their wrongful beliefs.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
What part of that clear statement do Catholics not understand ?
If you believe you can earn your way to heaven via good works. You are denying the Gospel ie: You are saying it wasn't nessary for Jesus do die for your sin, because you can make it by your own self-rightiousness. That is a lie from the pit of hell. I've yet to hear the Pope preach the Gospel from scripture
@Loonypics We understand that statement JUST FINE. We don't just make stuff up (like add "faith alone" to it.) Also, we do NOT tell lies about what others believe; Catholics do NOT believe you can earn your way to Heaven.
Catholics believed we are saved not by faith alone, but by works. And that is a direct quote from the Bible. So, maybe Protestants should tell us what part of that clear statement they don't understand?
@SaintMichaelsMedia Are you aware that if you pray to God useing a third partty intermediater you voilate what Jesus said ie: - John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
That means you do NOT pray to God via a saint his mother or anyone alse but HIM' - JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF.
If you disagree show me where I'm wrong - FROM THE BIBLE ONLY and not any thing made made.
@Loonypics 1st; show me in the Bible that the Bible says we have to use the Bible and nothing else. The Bible is not the pillar and foundation of truth, the Church is.
2nd; the parable of the rich man and Lazarus; rich man prays to Abraham, not God (even though God is there). Jesus tells this story, and never once says "The rich man should have prayer directly to God".
3rd; the line "no man comes to the Father but through me" does NOT say "never talk to anyone but me". You WANT it to say that, but it does not say that. We come to the Father through the Incarnation because only THEN can we get to Heaven; because we eat Christ's flesh and blood (well, WE do, you don't. So, according to Jesus, you have no life in you.)
You are changing the subject and are simply ignorant. Come back when you know the Bible.
@SaintMichaelsMedia No I wil not because the church come from believing the the holy scriptures, not the other way about. YOU are still avoiding my original qtn' and wondering of the main issue.
Jesus said - John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Do you accept this as truth, Please just say YES or NO don't give me the run-around this is a very clear question ! The answer is YES or NO there's no grey areare here.
@Loonypics >> the church come from believing the the holy scriptures, not the other way about.
If you are going to be this ignorant, I see no reason to even let you talk.
The Church was formed by Jesus Christ, of the Apostles. It preached around the Roman Empire during the first century. The scriptures came OUT OF the Church; Paul wrote his letters after much preaching, after the Church was already formed.
How can you claim that Scriptures which describe what the Church has already done (preaching and teaching) come BEFORE the events they describe? They were written in time, after the events (events the Church participated in) they describe.
This is simple logic, which you fail at. I am done with talking to you.
I am a Catholic and I disagree that the only church is this one. The Body is the Church and the Church is composed of people who are filled with the Spirit of Truth, and the Truth speaks , without reference to obscure scriptural interpretations.
@noleyplatz >> I am a Catholic and I disagree that the only church is this one.
Then you are a heretic and should refrain from presenting yourself for the Eucharist until you agree with the Church. Catholicism is an all or nothing proposition - if you wish to be a Catholic, you must agree with what the Church teaches.
I suggest you spend some time with the documents of the Church which clearly define what she is, and explain why the Church believes this. You need to learn and accept the truth, or your salvation is in jeopardy.
@abulach Yeah, because telling people to "grow up" is so totally inviting.
Also; having a favorited video which promotes drug use is SO Catholic and SO adult.
The Catholic faith IS exclusive; but it is also welcoming. Act according to Jesus' commandments and you show your love for Him. Do not act according to His commandments and it is clear you do NOT love Him and have already pushed Him away from YOU.
@abulachNah it's just enforcing the faith we need people like this strait up no strings attached telling it how it is. He is serous about the Church and what it has dont to protect the faith. I like it 2 thumbs up i use this video as my response to non catholics =).
Thank you thank you thank you. nooone understands us catholics. and u made it clear to people that we worship jesus christ our lord and savior like everyone else
It's no matter what kind of Christian you are... the most important thing is you live your life day by day according to the Bible. READ YOUR BIBLE. Understand God's principles and live by it. Don't manipulate the words to suit your own will. Don't just pick a sentence, read the whole thing, read and study by context of time, tradition and emotion of the characters being told.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church is available in its entirety on the Vatican website at vatican(.)va without the brackets. Read it for yourself to know what nonsensical lies the anti-Catholic bigots have been feeding you.
@SaintMichaelsMedia ..@SaintMichaelsMedia ...it takes more space to explain to you...but I'll try to sum up..Ephesians 2:8,9 clearly says that justification is not of yourself it by grace thru faith, Now..the next logical question is what kind of faith is it...James 2 explains that empty faith/dead faith won't do us any good.
If you believe in works ONLY, that makes it even worse, why would Jesus die for us then?...Please read the whole bible not just James 2 because some priest tells you to
@dkuncara I find it hilarious a Protestant is telling me to read the whole Bible when i) he doesn't even HAVE a complete Bible and ii) he is JUST working with Eph 2:8-9!
Read Eph in context - the works there are works of the MOSAIC LAW. James makes it clear we ARE saved by works AND faith.
We are saved by Christian works (as Jesus makes clear in the Gospels, when He says to those at the final judgment they are saved because they fed the hungry etc.) but not by the works of the Mosaic Law. This is the only explanation which makes sense with ALL the Bible, and not a selected reading.
And Catholics do NOT believe in salvation by works ALONE. The fact you even suggests this simply shows you are ignorant of what Catholics believe. Accordingly, you really have no place commenting on a Catholic video until you learn what the Church actually teaches!
Note that the BIBLE calls those who believe what you believe IGNORAMUSES. Words of God, right there. If you believe in salvation by faith alone, you are an ignoramus.
@SaintMichaelsMedia It really tends to push people away rather than guide them when you continually call them "ignoramus" and stupid. A lot of people simply don't know better, or learned a different way than you have.
@moredoughnuts01 SAINT JAMES, inspired by the HOLY SPIRIT, calls such people ignorant. And I *only* use such language to those who are rude, anti-Catholic, and insist on saying something which is AGAINST THE BIBLE AND CHRIST.
I have no time for people who, on the one hand, claim to be Christian and lecture me on what is in the Bible, but are completely ignorant when it come to the Bible. It is foolishness and hypocrisy, and I see no reason to tolerate it.
@SaintMichaelsMedia You say that "were saved by Christian works(as Jesus makes it clear in the gospels). Where in the gospels does Jesus say were saved by Christian works? Does truth matter to you? I know that most Catholics dont know because they dont read there bible or they rely on a "Priest" to tell them whatever Ephisians 2:8-9 says " By grace are we saved through faith and that not of ourselves, it is a gift of God, NOT WORKS, lest any man should boast."
And this is the last time I am answering this question, because it is CLEAR people are reading neither the Bible, NOR the comments on this video!
LEARN TO READ, PEOPLE! Don't just immediately assume your ignorant belief (and those are the divinely inspired word of God, not mine) in sola fides is right.
Christianity teaches and enables us to do good works because we have been saved by grace through faith in Christ....On the other hand, Catholicism teaches us to do good works in order to be saved....therefore, catholics are NOT Christians...God Bless
@dkuncara Don't be silly - the BIBLE and JESUS teach us to do good works in order to be saved. The epistle of James - EXPLICITLY says we are saved by works and NOT by faith alone! Jesus Christ, in the parable of the sheep and the goats, speaks ONLY of works as saving.
It's almost pointless discussing anything with people caught up in cults. No matter how ridiculous people's beliefs are, if they've been throughly indoctrinated and brain washed, they can't recognize the truth even if it jumps up and bites them on the nose.
I have a serious question not trying to be disrespectful, but is it in the bible that we are supposed to pray to Mary? I have heard a lot of people say christians are not supposed to pray to Mary and I'm wondering what the bible says about that.
Where in the Bible does it say we are NOT to pray to Mary? Where in the Bible does it say we are supposed to ONLY do things which are contained in the Bible?
The Bible is a PRODUCT of Christianity, not it's foundation.
You are completely wrong about Constantine - given the fact he was alive in the 300s and the phrase "Catholic Church" appears at least 100 years before.
The evidence Jesus founded the Church is simple; the beliefs of the Church have remained identical since the time of the Apostles. Jesus definitely founded A Church - He says as much - so which one was it? History tells us the Catholic Church is the first Church.
You want to know why it´s so obvious that Constantine didnt start the Catholic Church... He was born in the year 272 but there have been about 25 popes before him all in an interrupted sucession since St. Peter
You can ask others to pray for you including the Saints in heaven. Asking Mary to interceed on your behalf to her son is fine. Mary is not God and Catholics don't beleive she is
One of the greatest Catholic customs is calling Priests "father". However the Bible says,
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. (Matthew 23:9)
This is only one example, and there are many others. Catholicism is mostly man-made. Many people follows it's doctrines (i.e. The Seven Deadly Sins) that came from human beings more closely than they do the Bible itself.
## The notion of a hidden Church may be "stupid", but that does not make it false.
A less vulnerable position might be, to say that Protestantism was part of Catholicism until it separated from Catholicism & took visible social form as Protestantism. This could mean that Protestantism was as much (or as little) founded by Christ as Catholicism - for the separation was 1500 years in the future.
Yeah, it being stupid makes the idea it was founded by the source of all wisdom false.
>> This could mean that Protestantism was as much (or as little) founded by Christ as Catholicism
No, not at all - because Protestantism contains elements which are NOT FOUND in the Church Christ founded. So, unless they were so hidden no-one knew about them and no-one believed them, they were not there.
This is an indefensible position. Protestantism is a unique novelty - you will find no evidence for it prior to 1517 AD.
Protestantism represents a change and mutilation of Catholic truth. How can two contradictory things be true? And if you claim Catholicism is false, why did God found a false religion?
This man is a man of ignorance - completely misled about his beliefs. All Catholic traditions and doctrines are man-made and do not come from God, as for the most part they are opposite of the Bible completely. The Roman Catholic church is all about power and self-righteousness, and everyone knows this.
He is a moron as are you, SainMicaheisMedia. I dare you to prove me wrong
>> He is a moron as are you, SainMicaheisMedia. I dare you to prove me wrong
Well, I can at least spell your name right, Noel08Blueheart, when I am copying it.
So, while it is of course imposible to prove I am not a moron (what is the standard? How unintelligent do I have to be) is is clear you are MORE moronic because you cannot even copy a name accurately.
As for the theological points . . . do you actually have one? Or are you simply claiming "Catholics make stuff up!"
Please cite a Catholic teaching (quoting the Catechism or other official Church documents) and then PROVE that your interpretation of the Bible (which rejects this teaching) is the correct one.
While you are at it, please prove you have authority to interpret the Bible, and that the Bible CAN be accurately interpreted by you. Just what are your credentials, oh one who is more moronic than someone he calls a moron?
Let us note that the very tradition, teaching, and faith of the Catholic Church from the beginning, which the Lord gave, was preached by the Apostles, and was preserved by the Fathers. On this was the Church founded; and if anyone departs from this, he neither is nor any longer ought to be called a Christian. St. Athanasius 360 AD
Is it correct to state that Martin Luther lso intended, or at least desired at one point, to remove the books of James, Hebrews, and Revelation from the bible?
It's funny how some (not all) protest-ants bash the Catholic Church but use Catholic traditions in their Sunday services, things that Catholics would do in Mass.
Who give (YOU) man the right to JUDGE calling people stupid????????????? in the subject of God?????????

Catholics need to tell those of the hundreds of new churches that also call themselves christians that the Church established by Christ had dealt with heresies throughout her history. The novel teachings of these NEW churches are nothing but recent heresies that have to deal with too. This recent heretical tradition is the kind that pick and choose sets of the new heresies depending on their liking. They either conform their church to their liking or choose one which fancy's them.

And you are fighting a strawman - no-one is saying religion and relationship are the same, but rather that Catholics have a relationship with Christ which is the one He wanted humans to have, which is THROUGH a religion.

Show me where the Bible tells us to pray to Mary. Show me in The Word of God where we should be asking for forgiveness from priests and not from the only one worthy of forgiving us of our sins. Christ is the way, the Truth and The life and no one comes to the father but by him. Only Christ can lead you to the father and only through the blood of Christ can we be forgiven. No man on earth can forgive you of the sins that you commit against God Almighty. Jesus and only Jesus is the way.

@IlovemyLordandSavior These questions have been answered before, but I'm feeling generous. Where in the Bible does it NOT say we should talk to holy people?

@Adriangrosvenor The only thing which can excuse you is ignorance of Catholicism; you know we must eat the body & blood of Christ in order to be normatively saved, but that you don't feel this is what happens at Mass.

I pray the whole world becomes Catholic, because without it you may be denied the glorious salvation Jesus offers

@SaintMichaelsMedia I did not see anything in the bible about eating Jesus flesh, neither is God present in this act. The crucifixion of Jesus daily was not spoken of in any Gospel. Bread=Word of God. Wine =Doctrine. John simply means to receive the word of God daily as it is as important to you as your food, and to be sound in all doctrine of the scriptures. Simply live and understand the way of God. Am good being a Protestant. Its the true way of God, seperate from man made traditions

That isn't ANYWHERE in ancient Christianity, no-one holds to it before around 1600AD, and it isn't supported by the Gospels which say "my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink".

What this man says in the video is true. We Catholics are the true faith of Jesus Christ. Emperor Constantine didn't create the church. He was simply converted after seeing a vision during a battle.

If SaintMichaelsMedia hasn't said this already, a sign in the bible that we should pray to Mary is when the wine ran out at the wedding feast at Cana. They went to Mary, and Mary said, "Go to Jesus." Jesus then turned water into wine. That is a sure sign that Mary intercedes for us before God.

Your selective quotation of scripture is telling - you are simply here to confuse faithful Christians with half-truths. We are NOT saved by faith alone - the Bible EXPLICITLY says that in 2 James.

@thewordofgod2010 But the entire meaning is NOT what you quote; you emphasize COMES TO not the meaning of COMES AND EATS. And only in the Catholic Church is found the Eucharist, because ONLY the Church has the priesthood to confect the Eucharist and only the Church has the theology of the Eucharist. Other communities are simply teaching belief in Jesus, not a literal eating of His flesh. Do you believe we LITERALLY eat Jesus's flesh? As in, chew on it and swallow it and digest it? Literally.

@modomnoc1 The best book to read to strengthen your faith would, in my opinion, would be the Catechism of The Council of Trent, also known as the Roman Catechism. It was formulated during the Reformation to further elaborate and describe the faith to priests in response to the Protestant heresies. The language is precise, unlike the more recent Catechism of the Catholic Church, where the language is more vague. Don't forget that prayer, especially the rosary, will help strengthen your faith. :)

Duh....Yes Catholics ARE Christians..We believe in Jesus.. Read John 3;16For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.,,,
We Believe, So who says we don't ?

The one statement I get the most is the Constantine one. "Your religion was founded by him, whereas we followed Christ Himself"... then other mention the Protestant Reformation because "Jesus was the number one Protestant".

Every catholic should read THE TWO BABYLONS by Alexander Hislop. You can find the book online and read it for free if you google THE TWO BABYLONS. One entire catholic church in our area read it. You need to read it too.
BusWatcher 1 year ago
@BusWatcher Yes, everyone needs to read this book just to see how STUPID anti-Catholics can be. And then people need to read the DOZENS of books which refute it, and the massive amount of information available online showing that the entire thing is garbage. Ralph Woodrow is a good place to start - he used to believe it, then he decided to actually, you know, READ SOMETHING and DO RESEARCH and found out it was rubbish. He published a very good refuation.
SaintMichaelsMedia 1 year ago
Anyone who believes THE TWO BABYLONS is silly. It contains no evidence, no reliable sources, and is simply pure conjecture. The meanest historical study reveals it to be false.
Alas, many Protestants today DO believe it. It is so obviously rubbish, and has been refuted so many times.
These people are fools, or evil. They might be fairly clever HATEFUL people who know it's a lie, but spread it anyway. That is probably more accurate, because no-one could be so dumb as to believe it honestly.

We are saved by Christian works (as Jesus makes clear in the Gospels, when He says to those at the final judgment they are saved because they fed the hungry etc.) but not by the works of the Mosaic Law. This is the only explanation which makes sense with ALL the Bible, and not a selected reading.

One of the greatest Catholic customs is calling Priests "father". However the Bible says,
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. (Matthew 23:9)
This is only one example, and there are many others. Catholicism is mostly man-made. Many people follows it's doctrines (i.e. The Seven Deadly Sins) that came from human beings more closely than they do the Bible itself.
So there you go. Be careful what you ask for.

The Bible says we should call those who are older than us Father. Jesus Himself calls people "Father". Paul says he is a Father to Timothy.
Mt 23:9 says we should call no-one master, teacher, or father - so what do you call you dad if he is an educator?
It is obvious - given the fact Jesus HIMSELF calls people "Father" and the Bible encourages us to do so - Jesus is using hyperbole.

A less vulnerable position might be, to say that Protestantism was part of Catholicism until it separated from Catholicism & took visible social form as Protestantism.

Well, I can at least spell your name right, Noel08Blueheart, when I am copying it.
So, while it is of course imposible to prove I am not a moron (what is the standard? How unintelligent do I have to be) is is clear you are MORE moronic because you cannot even copy a name accurately.
As for the theological points . . . do you actually have one? Or are you simply claiming "Catholics make stuff up!"

Please cite a Catholic teaching (quoting the Catechism or other official Church documents) and then PROVE that your interpretation of the Bible (which rejects this teaching) is the correct one.
While you are at it, please prove you have authority to interpret the Bible, and that the Bible CAN be accurately interpreted by you. Just what are your credentials, oh one who is more moronic than someone he calls a moron?

Let us note that the very tradition, teaching, and faith of the Catholic Church from the beginning, which the Lord gave, was preached by the Apostles, and was preserved by the Fathers. On this was the Church founded; and if anyone departs from this, he neither is nor any longer ought to be called a Christian. St. Athanasius 360 AD

Is it correct to state that Martin Luther lso intended, or at least desired at one point, to remove the books of James, Hebrews, and Revelation from the bible?

It's funny how some (not all) protest-ants bash the Catholic Church but use Catholic traditions in their Sunday services, things that Catholics would do in Mass.
