@ Markcox it's not as if you don't believe in the immaculate conception or purgatory you pray for the dead??? What good does that do if no purgatory? Your church has simply not defined these teachings and leave them simply as a mystery. You don't however deny them as true.
@adamantis4657 Of course we dont have Saints, we have Prophets, messangers of God. And there are no mysteries to live, the point of life is to live by the Bible and trust in Jesus; "Trust in the LORD with all thy heart and lean not unto thine on understanding, Proverbs 3:5".
I applade you. Catholics need to Educate their children in our HISTORY. Kids today need this Armour to combat Self Proclaimed Prophets. They lay in wait even hunting uneducated Catholics and Lure them away. The mere word Protest*ant they wear proudly. Do they understand they Protest the very Church Jesus founds in Matt. Please continue your Gift of Teaching...A fruit of the Holy Spirit. Blessings to You.
I am an evangelical, and I do evangelism in a Catholic area. The first part of your video was compelling and has information that is helpful. My issue with Catholicism is current teaching that anyone can be saved regardless of faith in Christ. Except protestants. A good Hindu or Buddhist can reject the Gospel and still get into heaven but my genuine faith in Christ alone is insufficient because I don't recognize all the sacraments. Can a Catholic friend please reconcile this for me?
@lenpettis74 The Catholic Church does not teach you can be saved without faith( are you referring to invincible ignorance?), that is not a Dogma of The Catholic Church. Its the opposite, if someone does not hold the Catholic Faith, they are hellbound.
Pope Gregory XVI, Summo Iugiter Studio (#2) May 27, 1832: "Finally some of these misguided people attempt to persuade themselves and others that men are not saved only in the Catholic religion, but that even heretics may attain eternal life."
@lenpettis74 "A good Hindu or Buddhist can reject the Gospel and still get into heaven"
That is not a Catholic teaching. Anyone who rejects Christ will NOT get into Heaven. The Church does teach that non-Catholics can get into heaven, ie those with a sincere heart for Jesus. Jesus instituted the Sacramental system, but, being God, He is free to operate outside of it.
Lumen Gentium discusses the issues you are concerned with.
@PapalSoldier True. But not in the sense that you must be a card-carrying member of the organization. Surely you agree that outside the Body of Christ there is no salvation. He founded His Church (aka the Body of Christ) as a visible society, not just a spiritual association. When you believe, and are baptized in the name of the Father, Son & HS, you are part of that Body, which is the Universal Church, aka the RCC.
In that sense, there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church
@PapalSoldier The key word is "universal". Christ's Church is universal & is more than just a visible society, it is also a spiritual association. RCC teaches that any baptism done in the Name of the Father & Son & HS (and in faith, for a reasoning person), is valid. This means that person is then a child of God, a member of His Universal Church, even if not an obvious member of the Catholic organization.
Popes are often quoted out of context by anti-Catholics..we should not do so.
ACTUALLY there is another Bible, The Coptic which contains even more books. Jubillees, Enoch and others. The Catholic Church indirectly acknowledges it because uniate Coptic Church uses this version.
@PapalSoldier Then why is there a Coptic Catholic Church as well as an Armenian Catholic Church in communion with Rome??? Also, It's somewhat unfair to judge because of lack of representatives to all the Councils. Byzantine Catholics don't believe in Papal Infallibility nor The Immaculate Conception yet are in Communion. Are they heretics?
@MarkCox73 ANY Church in union with Rome is Catholic. Like example The Maronite? That is a different liturgy, but they have ALL the same teachings as The Catholic Church, Immaculate Conception, Purgatory ETC...
absolutely then they are not Catholics, if a Catholic denies ONE teaching of The Catholic Church they deny ALL. So they are obviously not Catholic, or are being lead by wolves in sheeps clothing.
@PapalSoldier Not true!!!! I am Byzantine Catholic and we are in union with Rome BUT we do not believe in the Immaculate Conception but we celebrate the same day The Conception of St Anne. We do not believe in "Purgatory" as such but we pray for the dead. We do not believe in Papal Infallibility but believe that the See of Rome is the First among Equals and has authority. Latin Rite is in the minority in these beliefs. Not to say they are wrong just from two different Traditions
@MarkCox73 Then your "sect" is heretical and should not even go next to the word of Catholicism. My uncle is a Catholic Bishop in the East, and his Catholic Church teaches 100% Doctrines and Dogmas of The Catholic Church. The term "first among equal" was NEVER a title for Rome or The Pope, you surely sound more protestant then Catholic. Which you are NOT Catholic if you deny ONE Dogma.
@MarkCox73 I Preach 100% Catholic Dogmas and Doctrines, you obviously need to research the early Church more, if you believe "first among equals" was a term for Rome.
"..Neither by Augustus, nor by all the clergy, nor by religious, nor by the people will the judge be judged..The first seat will not be judged by anyone." Pope St. Nicholas [A.D.865]
Protestants are PAGAN!!!!! They worship god different compared to the pure Christians;Catholics. They will go to hell for going against the religion Jesus demanded. Jesus asked strictly for one but got 100. Sad?!
Jesus will come and sort all the lies you have written here. He shall avenge all the soals you have persicuted, in the blasphemis name of your pope . he alone is God . repent
@abklineable This here is the Facts.the Apostolic Church began at Pentecost.The N.T. was wrote 50 to 100 years after the Church.The early Christians used these ancient manuscripts in the Greek.Hellenized Jewish Christians.The PROOF is on the Catacomb walls.The Church of our Lord is the Catholic Church.Why do you think it has been here all this time among the world who hate us? We will die for Christ!
@adamantis4657 Your a bit misinformed my friend. Protestants do believe in Christ, and hold him as the center of our religion. We do not believe in confessing are sins to a minister or deacon, but pray to Jesus to forgive us of are sins as the Bible says we should. I am the light of the world, He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life John 8:12. May Jesus be with you, God bless.
Yes, Christ said we should love our enemies. But we should not love the enemies of God or Heresy.
It does not matter what prostestants believe. They are heretics and SECTARIANS and therefore they are without CHRIST and seperated from GOD.
Do u think Christ founded different groups of christians? NO - He founded ONE CHURCH. The Holy Apostles were ONE HEART AND ONE SOUL and not different groups of SECTS. When u are not a member of Christ's Church
@TheOneWhoDoesntExist: Than u are not a christian. Protestants are not only schismatics but HERETICS. They are not christians - they follow Heresy and Blasphemy. They have no Church, no Mysteries, no Saints, - NOTHING - NO SALVATION. It is an empty Ideology. A dangerous deception. That is protestantism.
I was not posting my opinion here. "My opinion" is not important. I was talking about the teaching of the CHURCH and the Holy Fathers.
Protestansts are SECTARIANS and CONDEMNED by the Holy Fathers - they do not belong to the Church of CHRIST. They follow silly heresies and they fight against CHRIST.
@adamantis4657 Can you tell me what the different between you and those radical Muslim or like the Pestor who burn Quran ? you keep judging, condemning and even curse people to Hell .Give me a verse from Jesus or bible teaches you to do that. Stop spreading hate but love to change people mind .Spreading hate will only bring more hate Don't forget Jesus said before to " Love your Enemies"
1.) WE HAVE TO JUDGE - not personal sins but HERESY. It seems that u don't know nothing about TRUE FAITH. We have to tell people when they are in danger.
2.) Remember the verse when the some people who called: LORD LORD etc. and CHRIST said: AWAY - ye cursed in the eternal fire. So not all will be saved.
The Holy Apostles warned: THERE MUST BE HERESIES AMONG U - so that we have been tested.
Heretics will not be saved! This is not hate but TRUTH.
Protestants have got the right idea. We dont believe in all that cracker eating and silly confession, we simply believe and have faith in Jesus like the Bible says we should.
@TheOneWhoDoesntExist And I as a Catholic I also don't believe in "cracker eating and silly confession". But I do believe in sacraments which Jesus initiated: Holy Eucharist and Reconciliation. My faith in Jesus demands that I believe His words and deeds and obey Him "like the Bible says we should". So, I accept the 7 Sacraments as the oaths that God makes to us ("sacrament" means oath), all in the One True Oath which is the person of Jesus.
Being Anti-Catholic is not helping anyone and so i would only wish and pray that when even the protestants or so called "non denominational" christians when trying to convert one person that they refrain from spreadin heresy against the Catholic Church. I wish they would just focus on Jesus and his loving for the giving of example to a new convert since they love to only worship him honor him and exclude any other divine being which that is fine, he is Lord & honoring saints isnt a must
I know what u mean and I understand but FACT is - Protestants are condemend. It is horrible - yes - I know. But that's how it is. So they are heretics - yes Protestantism is full of heresies.
Yes, it is very very sad: when they do not repent, they will not be saved. There is no doubt. Many orthodox Elders and Saints have seen the heretic in Hell. We have to tell them that they are in great danger.
@4657 No i dont say so though my church would say so in the past, so r u "non-denominational" christian, do u yet believe in Jesus but turn away your brothers and sisters in Protestantism who i have known well to repent as much as the next great sorrowful sinner, this is heresy "school of thought" that those outside the Catholic church are condemned. i believe Mark 9:38 on says much. dont be so like this friend. dont use such words for i fear what Mt 12:36 and on says til verse 38
It is not what the RCC stated in the past but it is an ETERNAL TRUTH of ALL CHURCHES. It was at a time when the Church was not divided in East and West - or Anglican or Protestant.
The Holy Fathers through the Holy Spirit have rejected some Heresies and have cast out the Heretics from the Church of Christ. Not because out of hate but out of love.
Every heretic can repent and return - we are praying and waiting - even for one.
It is not about what I believe or what u believe (this is totally protestant) but what the Holy Church says and what the Holy Fathers say. They have spoken not their own opinion but THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT have set up limits. And NO ONE is allowed to go beyond these limits - otherwise he is in great danger.
And it is sad but protestants have gone beyond these limits: they are under Anathema through the Holy Spirit and not only by a church in the past.
Possibly, but that doesn't mean "damned to Hell". It just means separated from the rest.
Christ said "Judge not, lest ye be judged." You are judging people (ie declaring them damned to Hell), this is the type of judging He meant. (He didn't mean one shouldn't point out sin, but you shouldn't presume to know a person's heart and judge them based on that.)
We have to - I would sin if I would not tell them. We should not judge people of their sins: fornication, stealing, etc.. because we are all sinnners.
But heresy (and blasphemy) is different. When there is anything contrary to the Doctrine or Dogma - we have to stand up and tell people the truth. It is a must - it is a horrible sin when we would not do.
When the Nestorian heresy appeared God has worked many miracles to save many people.
Nestorius was condemned by the Church and also Nestorians. There was a nestorian monk - he was very pious and once he had a vision:
He saw Hell and all Heretics there: Arius, Nestorius, etc...burning in the flames of Hell. Than Christ said: LOOK - this is the Lot of Heretics - and those who follow themselfes.
He repented and converted and left Nestorianism. We know many such miracles from the dessert Fathers etc.
@4657 this is probably a good example when Jesus said "and those who follow themselves" ppl like Luther seem to just want to follow his desires with lust (supposedly) desires pleasures! Protestants now like say Baptist i just not that theyr wrong, they cant be at fault for past faults of selfish ppl. & yes faith w/out works is dead thats y i mention the Catholic church came in further saying Faith & Works - from the examples of the bible - as One thing for salvation.
@4657 friend it is sad & i agree with u that protestants were diff & didnt deny much in their beginning coming as to today but are you going to say that one who believes in Christ as the saviour is condemn while a Muslim or buddist dont even hold Him to be the Christ? what protestants say is on them & i i feel they will be hold against wiht judgement all some non-denominational christians do is talk against Catholicism but their Faith in Christ stands theyre not@fault 4past protestants heresies
@adamantis4657 I do believe protestants arent at fault for what their past protestant brother fooled them into since again in the beginning protestantism did agree on much with the church. apparently after the Vac II the dogma of Salvation outside the Church was up held - taken out and now isnt hold as a believe (same things my parish priest told me) from the very beginning i heard this dogma i denied it myself
“There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.”
@Strefanasha Sola scriptura is not Biblical.The Bible is not how the Church or the faith began. It began by following Christ, tradition for many years before pen to paper. The Bible was not compiled unto many more years after. The Lord gave you intelligence in order to critically think, the protestant movement began in the 1500's over a millenium after the Bible was compiled. Now we see protestants to the protestants. 30,000 witch doctors, conjurers and used car salesmen.
@Strefanasha I do not mean to be harsh here but the protestant movement although very beneficial to sharpening the true Church is the work of the Devil. Luther protested because he was like the abusive priests of today, he lived outside the authority of his orders and thus used his knowledge to lead his flock away. It could be argued he pointed out abused of the Church but rather help to fix from within, he chose to protest.
@Strefanasha He could not fix from within because he, himself lived scandalously and to avert attention from his hypocrisy he led a poor movement that became what we have today, 30,000 christian movements. My opinion is that with that many movements we need the Holy Roman Catholic Church as the only true and stable teaching going back to Christ. The Catholics did not add to Jewish Scripture, Luther just removed them for his convenience for his movement.
@Strefanasha After all the Catholic Church does not need justification, it is not protestant, it is the one true Church. On that I pray for all the lost sheep that they come home to Rome.
I think that one of the reasons Jesus wanted unity in the church, was so that people would know where to go to worship, know without doubt. I am so confused between various protestant churches and the catholic church, that i have no idea where to go to church on Sunday. All I can do is try and find one, but try to be a good Christian despite not having a concrete place of worship.
@Strefanasha why don't you save the rhetoric, and just watch the video. I converted to Catholicism two years ago. Before you spew any more comments, perhaps familarize yourself with Dr. Scott Hahn's conversion story.. BUT AGAIN... watch this video in full.
@megaead69 I am a "cradle" Catholic, Dr. Scott Hahn reconfirms my knowledge of what I have lost over the years. Great reference here as Dr. Scott Hahn was pretty much a fast track Presbyterian teacher.
@JazzyRoyale1990 As a Catholic there are many church location with many priests, all have their own God given identity and gifts. Some may touch your soul and some may not. The teaching is the same but the teacher is not so one parish maybe more suitable to you than another. I visit 5 different parish churches for mass service and find a different inspiration out of each. All lead to the same place, the doctrine is the same but method different.
@JazzyRoyale1990 I also go to various orders that are outside the diocese as the mission is different for these orders. Schoenstatt and Carmelite are two different orders I go for spiritual guidance. With being Catholic if your not satisfied with the parish priest there are other places to go for spiritual guidance.
@zairekrieger Did you know that there were 3 popes from Africa before 500 A.D. to Islamic Military invasion of North Africa, in which they killed many Catholics (Christians to the educated). If you do not bow down to anything than you better not salute the flag. The bowing down is a sign of respect it is NOT worship. So according to you I can paint I just cannot paint anything from the bible? Can you give me a specific verse that you are thinking about so we can talk about it.
I would like to jump in and just say that although catholic christians and other christians may not have the exact same bible, we should not be arguing and getting frustrated with one another. We all should be treating one another with respect and discussing this in a good manner.
Response to idolizing saints:
Catholics do not idolize saints. Saints are recognized for the life that they lived. They are role models for Catholics to follow. We do not adore them. We only adore God and love him:)

@zairekrieger You are a sister? A nun? So what you are saying is that your cultures way of showing respect is the only way to show respect, and other cultures way of showing respect is wrong.Idolatry? You don't fully understand what idolatry is. Was it idolatry when they passed out the handkerchief of Saint Paul? What about when Moses made a bronze serpent? You need to read your bible, and understand who put it together. Quit preaching the white man's gospel and preach the gospel of Christ.
@SenorZacito No, i said I was a sister because you tought I was a guy, because of my name. and I am not white, I am black. If Gods word says to not bow down to anything, then I don't do that. If Gods word says do not make engravings, I will not make engravings.
@adamantis4657 Paul did not say: do not think our Godhead is made out of stone, gold silver or anything man-made. God did say we shouldn't make any engraving of something and claim that it is God. We should not make any engravings and bow down to them. Christ was not an icon, He was not a painting.
NO ONE SAID: GOD IS MADE OUT OF STONE - u turn my words upside down.
But God was MADE MAN in JESUS CHRIST and HE TOOK A HUMAN FORM - and He was SEEN by men etc..
So when we see CHRIST we see GOD AS MAN - when we see an ICON OF CHRIST we see GOD INCARNATED in an ICON.
Christ was not a painting but HE WAS REAL HUMAN and humans can be depicted - that is why since apostolic times christians used Icons to preach the Gospel
What a load of rubbish. Is a Jewish conspiracy the best you can come up with to defend the contaminated Romish Bible?
Jesus gives the thumbs up to the Christian (Protestant) bible. Draw yourself a set diagram of the Old and New Testaments and draw a link where each NT book quotes the OT. You will find in your OT set a few books and chapters that are untouched. Those will be the non scriptural books which Catholics use which are like pieces of a puzzle that simply don't fit.
@vilaslexx You really need to brush up on your history. This is one of a handful of videos that is historically accurate. It may not sit well with most protestants but just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't fact. I learned the information in this from a rabbi well before I became Catholic. Read a book sometime. One that doesn't have an agenda but only has historical facts.
@DoDo1210love I will be still, because I am tired of Catholics trying to justify idolatry, making engravings of God, God says clearly that you cannot make engravings of Him and worship them. I find it weird that Catholics say that it is forbidden to study the Bible. I did not say that all catholics will go to hell, for it is God who sees hearts. I don´t I was trying to show the errors in some of the Catholic ways, but hey, who am I? I'll let you guys handle that.
@zairekrieger Brother was it idolatry in Acts19:11-12 when handkerchiefs were carried off the body of Saint Paul and people touched them and were healed. In Genesis when Abraham built an altar. In Numbers when Moses constructed a bronze serpent? In Chronicles when a Cherubim was constructed? There is nothing wrong with painting holy people, and showing your respect. Americans get confused between worship and respect because they have no idea how to do either.
@SenorZacito I'm a SISTER. I'm not American, what makes you think that? There is something wrong with kissing the feet of a statue or painting. You should never put a statue or painting above Jesus. We do not put paintings or statues in our Church because it can turn into idolatry.
Do you think that Paul practised communion? Do you think the early church had so much wealth in their churches? Do you think the early church made statues and engravings of God, and worshipped Mary? Do you think the early church sold indulgences? Did Jesus ever hail Mary?
CHRIST MADE THE FIRST ICON when He impressed HIS HOLY FACE into the towel. The Shroud of Turin is also an icon of CHRIST etc..
St. Luke was an Icon painter and painted several Icons. From Archeology we know that Icons were used since the earliest times. Catacombs ARE FULL WITH ICONS.
Even the Temple of Jerusalem was full with IMAGES etc.. ancient Synagoges too.
@adamantis4657 I also rejoice everyday because the Lord is with me! If the Lord is with you,it doesn't mean God worships you. Jesus says before Abraham was, He was allready there, but Mary wasn't. So in the end, Mary was just a surrogate mother for Jesus. If you say that she was the mother of God, that puts her above God, which I would mean that your believe is not monotheistic anymore.
@adamantis4657 Thats the worst comparison ever. Because the Bible is where we get our teachings from, and it teaches us to read it. It did not teach us to worship Mary in any way shape or form.
It seems that u don't have any CLUE on the history of the Bible?
THE FIRST CHRISTIANS HAVE NOT EVEN KNOWN A BIBLE. There was NO BIBLE. The Bible is a book of the Holy Fathers. THEY CREATED THE BIBLE - they are the AUTHORS OF THE BIBLE.
So without the Holy Fathers - NO BIBLE (as I stated in my first post).
The Holy bible did not fall down from HEAVEN - it was created THROUGH TRADITION.
I am shocked by some of the comments on here that no scripture scholar would make such strong and bold assessments. I hope some of you got your post doctoral studies in theology from a good and competent university!
What happened in Tobit that some mistakenly describe as witchcraft reminds me of the story in 2 Kings 2:19-23 where the prophet Elisha threw a bowlful of salt into a spring and forever changed the quality of the water it produced from bad to wholesome. I am also reminded of what Jacob did with the peeled rods to create spotted and speckled sheep and goats in Genesis 30:37-43. And of the prophet Elisha directing Naaman to wash seven times in the Jordan River to cure his leprosy in 2 Kings 5:10-1
Where do you guys get your anti Catholic propaganda? I highly suggest not getting Catholic teachings and why from anyone other than someone who has an ax to grind with the Church. You don't even address the video you just throw stones that you found elsewhere.
HAHAHA I have NEVER seen more idiots like you flooding YouTube with useless religion propaganda videos & comments at this magnitude! You have made my day. Oh and have a happy new year; try not to piss more people off this year!
the angel says: "As for the fish’s heart and liver, you must burn them to make a smoke in the presence of a man or a woman afflicted by a demon or evil spirit, and every affliction will flee away and never remain with that person any longer."

@disgruntledgoatiam Why the fuck are you "Lol" ing? You just cursed the other guy out. My advice: GTFO of Youtube; it does not need anymore life-wasters like you.
fantastic I love it it so true martin became a heretic he had no patience,confuse,and derange.it takes one bad apple to ruin the rest.thats why now there more 70,000 dominations out there.
This is a video that challenges people to re-think what they have always believe. It is so often that people mistakingly understand that the Catholic church had 'taken away' books from the bible, which is not true at all. Thank you for this video!
@sungmoon1987 Funny you should say that. I just had a Protestant on one of those anti Catholic videos make the claim that the Catholic Church took parts out of the Bible to "fit their own traditions".... I have nothing against Protestants, but they not only disagree with Catholicism, they can't even agree with each other. Hence 33,000 denominations..
@adamantis4657 I'm a fellow Catholic but disagree with your assessment that Protestants are rebellions against Christ.. It is a very bold statement you made in regards to salvation... You shouldn't do things like that. Only God decides you will be saved, not us.. Peace be with you, friend.
Protestantism is Error and Rebellion against Christ and his Church and Truth. I am not Catholic but ORTHODOX.
The Holy Church and the Holy Fathers have condemned Heresy and the heretics but not out of hate but out of love. LOVE FOR GOD and TRUTH.
We even have to tell people when they are in Heresy because they are in great DANGER - Heretics will not be saved. The Church ALWAYS was clear about that.
@adamantis4657 Why are they heretics? becuase they chose to READ the Bible? Because they were angry that the Catholic church sold pieces of papers which was supposed to grant your place into heaven? Does that make them heretics? If you believe in Christ Jesus, you will be saved. End of story.
I don't know if u know what HERETICS are? Heretics are cut off from GOD and his truth. There is NO SALVATION IN HERESY. The Church of God always cast out the Heretics.
Protestants are HERETICS because they follow HERESIES. They are condemned and outside the Church of CHRIST.
Not everyone that believes in JESUS CHRIST will be saved: Remember:
AWAY Ye CURSED in the ERTNAL FIRE....when they cried: LORD LORD...he said: I DO NOT KNOW U!
@adamantis4657 I just want to know what exactly makes us heresies, please tell me what we do wrong, those heretics you are talking about cut themselves of the catholic church because the were against the sale of indulgences!
1.) Protestants do not confess the Virgin Mary to be "THEOTOKOS" - that means BEARER of GOD. But this was condemned on the Ecumenical Synod of Ephesos.
Everyone who does not confess that CHRIST IS TRUE GOD incarnated and that therefore His Mother can be called: THEOTOKOS or MOTHER OF GOD is under ANATHEMA.
2.) Protestants do not honor the Prophets, Saints, Fathers, the Mother of God etc.. - this is also conemned on the 7th Ecumenical
@adamantis4657 You want me to list all the errors in the catholic church? I allready sent you a link to a site, that looks at the teachings of the Catholic church trough the Bible, but since the catholics never read their Bibles themselves, you'll never know. Please read your Bible, and then see what place Mary is given, she is only in the Bible for a couple of chapters and isn't mentioned much, I believe God did this for a reason! She was a human just like all of us, just used by God.
@adamantis4657 Please come with a list of errors referring to scripture, as I did with the link I send you in a personal message, I am not here to hate, I am here to tell you the truth, the truth as written in the Bible! Peter could've never been your first Pope, because he has never been in Rome, and he was married. You and I, as christians are also Saints, since we live holy before the Lord. 'Be Holy, for I am Holy' says the Lord 1 Pet. 1:16 , you can find online Bibles anywhere, read it!
@adamantis4657 The claim that you will not be saved if you do not accept Mary as Theotoos, is not biblical, Romans 10:13 Whoever calls the Name of the Father will be saved. and also,1 Cor. 1:2
Theotokos IS BIBLICAL because it states that CHRIST IS TRUE GOD AND TRUE MAN and whoever does not confess the Virgin Mary to be THEOTOKOS - IS UNDER ANATHEMA.
Trinity IS ALSO NOT IN THE BIBLE - but ALL WHO DOES NOT CONFESS THE TRINITY ARE CONDEMNED AND WILL NOT BE SAVED.
HOMO-OUSIOS - means SAME ESSENCE is also not in the BIBLE - but all who do not confess that CHRIST IS OF ONE ESSENCE WITH THE FATHER
Protestants most time HAVE NO CLUE about CHRISTIANITY. The bible did not fall down form heaven. THE HOLY FATHERS are the "AUTHORS" of the Bible - they have decided what is a Holy Book and what is not.
The early church has not know A BIBLE or HOLY BOOK.
The Bible is a PART OF THE TRADITION OF CHURCH. ORAL TRADITION WAS FIRST - this can be proven. St. Paul for example mentioned some words of CHRIST which are not in the GOSPELS.
@adamantis4657 The disciples didn't write the Bible, God wrote it trough them! That is what I, that no disciple or Saint may boast, for it is not because of their own wisdom that they wrote it, it is because of God's wisdom! I will not and refuse to give men the credit for something they did not do, I give God the ONLY credit, because God spoke trough them! So if God uses a Paul, or a Mary, you should praise God that he did that, not praise Mary or Paul for it.
@zairekrieger: The Disciples didn't write the bible?
Really? God wrote it. U are wrong here:
1.) Yes the Bible is the WORD OF GOD
2.) But it was written by the Disciples and WAS CREATED BY THE CHURCH and not indiciduals. THE HOLY CHURCH through the HOLY FATHERS have created the BIBLE.
So yes - we have to thank GOD BUT ALSO THE HOLY FATHERS.
3.) U can not say that THEY DIDN'T DO - when they did it. GOD DOES NOT "USE" humans like puppets - but THEY CHOSE WITH FREE WILL.
@adamantis4657 Not gonna praise any saint, nor any person, but God. I myself will not even be praised for the good things I do. For it is God who does it trough me.
@adamantis4657 I'm happy she gave birth to Christ, but she's dead. She was human. I bless you, but God also says that there will only be one mediator between God and men, in 1 Tit. 2:5, so I won't pray to her. The Bible never says that I will go to hell if I won't bless her. Jesus sure never hailed or venerated her.
@adamantis4657 But if a random stranger tells you something, you should test it with the word of God, as written in 2 Tim., If what that person says goes against the Word, then that person is a false prophet, so if your pastor or bisschop teaches you that you can have engravings of God in the Church, then he is a false prophet because the Word clearly says that this is wrong. Read Revelation 2:18-23, many scholars say that this was written to the Orthodox Church.
@adamantis4657 What important is is what God says, who knows if these Holy fathers of yours are even from God? God says that I should love you no matter what, He also says in His word that we should use scripture to correct people, but with love and kindness, so I apalogize if you felt that I did this without love. God also says that the way you judge others, so you will be judged. I don't judge you, I just tell you what the Bible says. You should care about what God says.
Really? Again u are very very silly: U are talking about the "word of GOD" - DID U KNOW THAT THE WORD OF GOD HAS COME TO US THROUGH THE HOLY FATHERS?
So u contradict yourself! Because the Bible is a book of the Holy Fathers. But it seems that u are not very educated and that u don't now the "history" of the bible.
Than u should go and read yout BIBLE again because GOD ORDERED TO MAKE GRAVEN IMAGES. Read Exodus, Chronicles and Kings...GRAVEN IMAGES ARE EVERYWHERE
So u said that GOD IS A FALSE PROPHET because HE ORDERED TO MAKE GRAVEN IMAGES.
Wow - this is Protestantism? To say GOD is a false PROPHET.
1.) GOD said that WE SHOULD NOT FOLLOW STRANGE GODS etc....and also not to honor IDOLS etc...
2.) ICONS ARE NOT IDOLS - because they are not to honor STRANGE GODS
3.) In the OT it was not possible to make an IMAGE of GOD because God was not incarnated yet. but since GOD WAS MADE MAN in JESUS CHRIST - he can be depicted.
Whoever does not accept the Icons of CHRIST - DENIES THE ÌNCARNATION OF GOD
@adamantis4657 Please refer to scripture! We actually do baptize, but not babies, since you can only be baptized if you believe, and babies can't believe, I was baptized when I was 15. We confess directly to God, not another priest as our intercessor, Jesus is the only intercessor between you and The Father. Where in the Bible does it speak of Communion? We of course do marry! REFER TO SCRIPTURE and show me, that these teachings are right.
@adamantis4657 1) This claim is meaningless since not backed up by Scripture
2) The Bible is not a book of the holy fathers, it is a book from God, to us, so that we might read His will for us. Christ did find a Church, but He asks of us to test all the teachings of men with His Word!
3) Did I ever say that? I'm not even from the USA! I know the History of Jesus, I study the Bible, therefor am able to back everything up with Scripture 2 Tim. 3: 15-17
1.) No it is not because as I have shown; not everything that u need for Salvation is DIRCTLY IN THE BIBLE. The Word BIBLE is not in the BIBLE - the WORD TRINITY is not in the BIBLE etc..
BUT NO CAN REJECT THEM STILL BE SAVED!
2.) Yes - IT IS A HISTORIC FACT; the BIBLE IS A BOOK OF THE HOLY FATHERS. U can deny FACTS - but FACT IS FACT.
The Canon of the Bible was ESTABLISHED BY THE FATHERS and was fixed about in the 4 cent AND NOT EARLIER.
@adamantis4657 1) Yes, everything you need for salvation is in Christ, then again, Jesus says that everyone who believes in the Son, will be saved John 3:36
2) It is written by people but Paul says Eph. 2:9, in 1 Cor. 9:16, and in 1 Cor. 4, he says that nothing makes one saint better then the other'For what do you have, that was not given unto you?' 2 Cor. 2:14, Acts 9:15, speaks about Paul as something that god uses
3) God used people to write His word, its HIS. So that no man may boast.
@ Markcox it's not as if you don't believe in the immaculate conception or purgatory you pray for the dead??? What good does that do if no purgatory? Your church has simply not defined these teachings and leave them simply as a mystery. You don't however deny them as true.

@adamantis4657 Of course we dont have Saints, we have Prophets, messangers of God. And there are no mysteries to live, the point of life is to live by the Bible and trust in Jesus; "Trust in the LORD with all thy heart and lean not unto thine on understanding, Proverbs 3:5".

I am an evangelical, and I do evangelism in a Catholic area. The first part of your video was compelling and has information that is helpful. My issue with Catholicism is current teaching that anyone can be saved regardless of faith in Christ. Except protestants. A good Hindu or Buddhist can reject the Gospel and still get into heaven but my genuine faith in Christ alone is insufficient because I don't recognize all the sacraments. Can a Catholic friend please reconcile this for me?

@lenpettis74 The Catholic Church does not teach you can be saved without faith( are you referring to invincible ignorance?), that is not a Dogma of The Catholic Church. Its the opposite, if someone does not hold the Catholic Faith, they are hellbound.

@lenpettis74 "A good Hindu or Buddhist can reject the Gospel and still get into heaven"
That is not a Catholic teaching. Anyone who rejects Christ will NOT get into Heaven. The Church does teach that non-Catholics can get into heaven, ie those with a sincere heart for Jesus. Jesus instituted the Sacramental system, but, being God, He is free to operate outside of it.

@PapalSoldier True. But not in the sense that you must be a card-carrying member of the organization. Surely you agree that outside the Body of Christ there is no salvation. He founded His Church (aka the Body of Christ) as a visible society, not just a spiritual association. When you believe, and are baptized in the name of the Father, Son & HS, you are part of that Body, which is the Universal Church, aka the RCC.
In that sense, there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church

@AmericanBerean "When you believe" now you sound protestant.
“There is one universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved.” (Pope Innocent III, Fourth Lateran Council, 1215.)

@PapalSoldier The key word is "universal". Christ's Church is universal & is more than just a visible society, it is also a spiritual association. RCC teaches that any baptism done in the Name of the Father & Son & HS (and in faith, for a reasoning person), is valid. This means that person is then a child of God, a member of His Universal Church, even if not an obvious member of the Catholic organization.

@Strefanasha I do not mean to be harsh here but the protestant movement although very beneficial to sharpening the true Church is the work of the Devil.

It could be argued he pointed out abused of the Church but rather help to fix from within, he chose to protest.

The Catholics did not add to Jewish Scripture, Luther just removed them for his convenience for his movement.

Be a good tree, which is grown by Jesus Christ, gives good fruits and DO pray and hope that your nearest people turn from Protestant to Catholic.
I am Catholic and i prefer good acts in our good life in the name of Christ more than words, mouths fighting in the name of Christ.
Sorry for my english, i am Asian ...
Peace with you, Peace in Jesus

@DoDo1210love I will be still, because I am tired of Catholics trying to justify idolatry, making engravings of God, God says clearly that you cannot make engravings of Him and worship them. I find it weird that Catholics say that it is forbidden to study the Bible. I did not say that all catholics will go to hell, for it is God who sees hearts. I don´t I was trying to show the errors in some of the Catholic ways, but hey, who am I? I'll let you guys handle that.

@zairekrieger Brother was it idolatry in Acts19:11-12 when handkerchiefs were carried off the body of Saint Paul and people touched them and were healed. In Genesis when Abraham built an altar. In Numbers when Moses constructed a bronze serpent? In Chronicles when a Cherubim was constructed? There is nothing wrong with painting holy people, and showing your respect. Americans get confused between worship and respect because they have no idea how to do either.

@SenorZacito I'm a SISTER. I'm not American, what makes you think that? There is something wrong with kissing the feet of a statue or painting. You should never put a statue or painting above Jesus. We do not put paintings or statues in our Church because it can turn into idolatry.

Do you think that Paul practised communion? Do you think the early church had so much wealth in their churches? Do you think the early church made statues and engravings of God, and worshipped Mary? Do you think the early church sold indulgences? Did Jesus ever hail Mary?

@zairekrieger: St. Paul and Communion:
Of course St. Paul received Communion LIKE ALL APOSTLES. We know this from the writings of the early church.
CHRIST TOOK BREAD AND SAID: THIS IS MY BODY....He took the cup and said: THIS IS MY BLOOD -
He said: WHOEVER DOES NOT EAT MY FLESH and does not drink my BLOOD - will not be saved.
In Acts we read that they prayed and THE BROKE THE BREAD. St. Paul also mentioned the "breaking of bread" - THIS IS COMMUNION.

@zairekrieger: EARLY CHURCH and IMAGES?
Yes of course! It seems that U KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE EARLY CHURCH.
CHRIST MADE THE FIRST ICON of His Face. St. Luke was an ICONPAINTER and painted several Icons of the Mother of God etc..
We know from the Catacombs etc.. IMAGES AND ICONS WERE ALWAYS USED. Since apostolic TIMES

@adamantis4657 The first icon was out of the 5th century.

@zairekrieger: WRONG - as always!
CHRIST MADE THE FIRST ICON when He impressed HIS HOLY FACE into the towel. The Shroud of Turin is also an icon of CHRIST etc..
St. Luke was an Icon painter and painted several Icons. From Archeology we know that Icons were used since the earliest times. Catacombs ARE FULL WITH ICONS.
Even the Temple of Jerusalem was full with IMAGES etc.. ancient Synagoges too.

@zairekrieger: Worship of the Virgin?
Why u Protestants HAVE NO EDUCATION?
1.) Worship - go and search in your Bible if u will find worship and what in means? What is Veneration and Adoration - what is Honoration etc...
All these are DIFFERENT LEVELS of Worship
2.) Yes- GOD HAILED HIS MOTHER: When the Archangel WAS SENT BY GOD he said:
REJOICE FULL OF GRACE THE LORD IS WITH THEE.
So GOD HAIL HER - He was the first!
It seems that u don't know the Bible ha?
adamantis4657 1 month ago
@adamantis4657 I also rejoice everyday because the Lord is with me! If the Lord is with you,it doesn't mean God worships you. Jesus says before Abraham was, He was allready there, but Mary wasn't. So in the end, Mary was just a surrogate mother for Jesus. If you say that she was the mother of God, that puts her above God, which I would mean that your believe is not monotheistic anymore.

Witchcraft is contacting evil spirits. Listening to an angel of God is not witchcraft.

What happened in Tobit that some mistakenly describe as witchcraft reminds me of the story in 2 Kings 2:19-23 where the prophet Elisha threw a bowlful of salt into a spring and forever changed the quality of the water it produced from bad to wholesome. I am also reminded of what Jacob did with the peeled rods to create spotted and speckled sheep and goats in Genesis 30:37-43. And of the prophet Elisha directing Naaman to wash seven times in the Jordan River to cure his leprosy in 2 Kings 5:10-1

Tobit 6:17-18

Protestants are like NESTORIANS who denied that the Virgin Mary is THEOTOKOS - they were CONDEMNED BY ALL FATHERS AND SAINTS.
Protestants are also ICONOCLASTS - DESTROYERS OF ICONS - Iconoclasm is a HERESY and CONDEMNED BY THE HOLY FATHERS.
And many other ERRORS

@adamantis4657 I'm a fellow Catholic but disagree with your assessment that Protestants are rebellions against Christ.. It is a very bold statement you made in regards to salvation... You shouldn't do things like that. Only God decides you will be saved, not us.. Peace be with you, friend.

Protestantism is Error and Rebellion against Christ and his Church and Truth. I am not Catholic but ORTHODOX.
The Holy Church and the Holy Fathers have condemned Heresy and the heretics but not out of hate but out of love. LOVE FOR GOD and TRUTH.
We even have to tell people when they are in Heresy because they are in great DANGER - Heretics will not be saved. The Church ALWAYS was clear about that.
Protestants do not even believe in the "basics"

Everyone who does not confess that CHRIST IS TRUE GOD incarnated and that therefore His Mother can be called: THEOTOKOS or MOTHER OF GOD is under ANATHEMA.
2.) Protestants do not honor the Prophets, Saints, Fathers, the Mother of God etc.. - this is also conemned on the 7th Ecumenical

I allready sent you a link to a site, that looks at the teachings of the Catholic church trough the Bible, but since the catholics never read their Bibles themselves, you'll never know. Please read your Bible, and then see what place Mary is given, she is only in the Bible for a couple of chapters and isn't mentioned much, I believe God did this for a reason! She was a human just like all of us, just used by God.

@zairekrieger: THEOTOKOS
Theotokos IS BIBLICAL because it states that CHRIST IS TRUE GOD AND TRUE MAN and whoever does not confess the Virgin Mary to be THEOTOKOS - IS UNDER ANATHEMA.
Trinity IS ALSO NOT IN THE BIBLE - but ALL WHO DOES NOT CONFESS THE TRINITY ARE CONDEMNED AND WILL NOT BE SAVED.

I will not and refuse to give men the credit for something they did not do, I give God the ONLY credit, because God spoke trough them! So if God uses a Paul, or a Mary, you should praise God that he did that, not praise Mary or Paul for it.

Really? God wrote it. U are wrong here:

2.) But it was written by the Disciples and WAS CREATED BY THE CHURCH and not indiciduals. THE HOLY CHURCH through the HOLY FATHERS have created the BIBLE.
So yes - we have to thank GOD BUT ALSO THE HOLY FATHERS.
3.) U can not say that THEY DIDN'T DO - when they did it. GOD DOES NOT "USE" humans like puppets - but THEY CHOSE WITH FREE WILL.

So u also can BE AGAINST GOD - U CAN SIN - U CAN REJECT CHRIST etc..
So when someone chose with his FREE WILL that he serves GOD and when he offeres EVERYTHING TO GOD - HE SHOULD BE PRAISED for doing such thing.
So u see GOD should be praised but also GOD IN HIS SAINTS - for God is wondrous in his SAINTS

2.) Yes - IT IS A HISTORIC FACT; the BIBLE IS A BOOK OF THE HOLY FATHERS. U can deny FACTS - but FACT IS FACT.
