I'm not Catholic, but faith = trust + obedience. Heb 5:9 You're saved through obedience to the gospel. "But God be thanked that though you were the servants of sin but ye have OBEYED from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered to you. Being THEN made free from sin you became the servants of righteousness."Rom. 6:17-18 Study the bible! Hear Rom. 10:17, Believe John 8:24 Repent Luke 13:3 Be baptised for the remission of sins Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16
Gee pastor ba;oney you fofgot this one from the CCC
970 "Mary's function as mother of men in no way obscures or diminishes this unique mediation of Christ, but rather shows its power. But the Blessed Virgin's salutary influence on men . . . flows forth from the superabundance of the merits of Christ, rests on his mediation, depends entirely on it, and draws all its power from it
."513 "No creature could ever be counted along with the Incarnate Word and Redeemer; but just as the priesthood of Christ is shared in various ways both by his ministers and the faithful, and as the one goodness of God is radiated in different ways among his creatures, so also the unique mediation of the Redeemer does not exclude but rather gives rise to a manifold cooperation which is but a sharing in this one source
Catholic Catechism error and blasphemy in the eyes of Christ: para. 969 "This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect- (Cont.)
@rtarasiak cont: Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation. . . . Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix." How sad! contradicting the Word of God: "One Mediator, Jesus Christ" 1 Tim. 2:5, And one way to the Father: John 14:6. The Mary of Catholicsim is NOT the humble Mary of the Bible, the Word of God! (Cont:)
The redemption of acquisition; [4] i.e. in order to the acquired possession, or to the obtaining of that glory which Christ, by redeeming us, hath acquired for us.
12 That we may be unto the praise of his glory, we who before hoped Christ:
13 In whom you also, after you had heard the word of truth, (the gospel of your salvation;) in whom also believing, you were signed with the holy Spirit of promise,
In whom you . . . . were sealed, &c. Having been regenerated in baptism, you have received the Holy Spirit and the supernatural gifts which he communicates, by which he has, as it were, impressed upon you the seal of your sanctification and the pledge of your salvation.
It is not an external impression, such as that by which soldiers are marked by their sovereigns, nor circumcision, as of old, but it is a mark within you—the grace with which you are filled—which shews itself outwardly by miraculous effects, &c. Calmet
Some refer these words, in whom you were sealed, to the sacrament of baptism; others to confirmation: both, with the sacrament of holy orders, confer a character, or mark, of which S. Paul seems to speak whenever he speaks of God sealing us.
11 In whom we also are called by lot, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things according to the counsel of his will.
In Christ we also are called by lot; i.e. to this happy lot, this share and state of eternal happiness, (he seems to speak with an allusion to the manner by which the lands of a temporal inheritance was distributed to the Israelites, in Palestine) that we (v. 12) who are saved, may be to the praise of his glory
might praise God for ever in the kingdom of his glory; particularly we Jews, who before hoped in the Messias to come, and also you Gentiles, who now having heard the gospel, have believed in Christ, and who, together with all Christians, have been now sealed as it were with the holy Spirit of promise; i.e. by the Spirit promised, and all those spiritual graces which are an earnest and pledge,
which give us an assurance of our future glory and happiness. For our redemption from our sins, and in order to the acquired possession, to the possession of that glorious happiness which Christ, by his incarnation and death, hath acquired for us.
Keep up the good efforts and fruit of the Holy Spirit Mike! I left the Catholic institution of man knowing for sure after years of researching the RCC doctrine and comparing them to scripture that the RCC is a man-made institution and is only a indoctrinating vessel of the enemy and a political power entity which even murdered thousands for not bowing down to the power of the popes and indulgences. Is the RCC Jesus' Church? Hardly!!!! NOT!
This PSYCHOPATH accuses the Early Church Fathers of being "ravenous wolves?" He isn't fit to lick the dirt off their toes!! If you want MAN MADE TRADITIONS,you need only look to the theological jungle the "reformers" and their successors have cursed Western Christianity with.If there WAS a truth detector that exposed deception and false doctrine,evangelicalism would perish! Evangelicals have no right to the Scriptures, ANYWAY! It's a COVENANT BOOK! They're in possession of stolen property!!!
@MrJhb211 Your funny! The reformers were Roman Catholics and sadly they brought many of the non-biblical traditions and mind set with them! This is why I am NOT a protestant as well as an ex-Catholic. For there is only ONE True Church founded on Christ the Chief Cornerstone, and those who only believe by faith, call upon the Lord are the saved ones, His Body or Church. Quite simple! RCC? complex and numerous traditions of man, like adding to the Word, Mary-Co-meditrix, etc. contradictions. bless
@rtarasiak isnt it funny you condem the reformers and follow thier man made doctrines hell you even follow the teachings of a women in your cult.wow not a protie then why do you follow their doctrines and tradition of men in your case and women.
@MrJhb211 Your true heart and "fruit" is coming through! I see how your true "colors" of love shinning through! Name calling, is this the love of Jesus? Hmmm... Jesus loves you and wants to give you a new heart: "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3
@rtarasiak I hate heresy because it damns souls for ALL ETERNITY I would SERIOUSLY QUESTION my commitment to Christ if I didn't!!! My true heart and "fruit " are coming through? I certainly judged mike's lies AND UR doctrine,but I did NOT PRESUME to judge your spiritual state.DID i? THANKS FOR UR RAINBOW! Your personal humility is an inspiration!! You've been brainwashed! SORRY! GOD AS MY WITNESS!! but thats the truth Who was evangelizing for the 1st 1000 yrs of Church history?
@rtarasiak I have a funny feeling that you've got lots of time here! Got to work for a living,OK? ONCE AGAIN !!!!.do you think it's possible to explain why you think those verses in Ephesians are so supportive of your "sunshine".?? Can I cure you of ur shyness? what church do you go to? do you worship on Saturday or Sunday? can you show me the evidence of your "faith" for the last 2000 yrs? If it ISN'T historical,it ISN'T of God (Acts 5:34-39) Save it for later,GOTTA GO! BYE!
@MrJhb211 I asked you a question? If you do not have an answer to my initial question ref/. to Eph. 1:11-14,then I can only assume you do not have an answer to your belief as a Christian? OR to defend the RCC since the Vatican has no answer for these verses? I pray you do? I have evidence of my faith by the Holy Spirit leading my life to good works: Missionary for 3 years Honduras; 2 demon possessed people delivered, thousands saved, planted two new churches and built another one, fed hundreds.
@rtarasiak Back again (for a few minutes!) The only question you asked me about Eph 1:11-14 was my impression of it.I thought I covered it? Guess not,HUH! OK! Those who are saved are those chosen before the foundations of the world for the inheritance of eternal life.The gift of the Holy Spirit is the Pledge of that inheritance to be given IN FULL on the last day!.Salvation/justification is an ONGOING PROCESS! Only those who win the race WILL BE CROWNED! (the full inheritance!) OK?
@MrJhb211 In particular tell me about Eph. 1:13? Since Apostle Paul consistently writes of past tense justifed, and here being "sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise" as he writes to the saints or believers st Ephesus, thus tell me why the RCC doctrines declares that one is anethema to believe per the scripture that one has an inheritance and is sealed (past tense) knowing one is saved and going to heaven, yet the RCC in contrary by inventing a purgatory, and has no guarantee? Your answer?
@rtarasiak SIR! You SELFISHLY haven't answered any of MY questions,so WHY THE ATTITUDE? I've given you the basic background behind St.Paul's teaching in Eph 1:13 and you completely ignored it! Now you want more?YOU'RE FORCING A FOREIGN VIEW ONTO THE TEXT YOU'VE QUOTED! You must interpret Scripture WITH Scripture (all of it!) If I'm wrong (AND "my" Vatican!) would you explain THE SAME APOSTLE'S words in 1Cor 9:24-27 IN LIGHT OF THE NEXT CHAPTER,PLEASE!(chap 10) If not,STOP POSTING ME!!
@MrJhb211 1Cr 10:1 ¶ Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; I wonder wht he used the word fathers Jesus and God must have been Pissed call no one your father and all
@MrJhb211 you need to read 1Cr 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? you know the whole chapter then refer to Jn 666
@martlut Excellent point! The problem this gentleman has is as old as Christianity itself! Quoting statements OUT OF CONTEXT and building a "case" on it! His impression is that the sealing of the redeemed purchased by the blood of Christ through the anointing of the Holy Spirit has no moral substance.It is purely legal,according to Luther and therefore IMMUTABLE! GOD IS UNCHANGEABLE but MAN IS NOT! You're CORRECT in insisting on the wider context which evangelicals devoutly ignore! GBU!
@rtarasiaktell After Adam's sin, the gates of Heaven were closed, and no one was allowed to enter (John 3:13) until Jesus Christ redeemed the human race and opened the gates once again. Where were the spirits of Moses and Elias, who appeared and spoke with Jesus at the transfiguration (Matthew 17:3)? They could not have been in Heaven since it was closed, and they would have been lost had they been in hell. They had to have been in a third place.
@rtarasiak Without either the time OR patience to go into a full treatment on this matter perhaps I can be brief,OK? What God has determined outside of time is fulfilled IN TIME.The pledge of the inheritance and OUR pledge of maintaining a good conscience (which we make in our baptism (1Pt 3:21) forms the basis of our covenant relationship with God.There's NEVER a question of covenant failure on God's part,ONLY OUR'S! How about answering some of MY questions,OK?
@MrJhb211 I did not ask you of 1 Peter, I asked you of Apostle Paul's writing to the Saints (alive ones) at Ephesus, in particular V13. Supporting scripture: Rom. 3:24, John 3:16, Rom. 5:1, etc...Love in Christ, P. Bob
Thank you Mike for the TRUTH and exposing the error of false doctrine of the Roman Catholic man-made institution! I thank God I serve Christ alone and allow "rivers of living waters" to flow out!
everyone on here is a christian right? really ? we all need to question what we do and what believe. Just because you were raised to a doctrine does not mean its the best. there is no best or right doctrine. You and your bible . They stand alone. if only our father in heaven could see you here tearing down your brother? yikes.. take your toys and go home. repent and get real with your savor. your perfect church makes him sick! he wants to know YOU ! not your bag of tricks.Go be a blessing today
@withwingss "there is no best or right doctrine. ". Ah relativism. Ain't it grand. God says in prov 3:5, trust not in your own understanding. Trusting in your understanding is what is required of someone who believes in "you and your bible". This theology is directly contradictory to 2 Thes 2:15. Christ started A CHURCH not Churches. Bible alone is the cause of the 30,000 denominations + 1. The Church of withwings.
@withwingss - Your not gonna like these passages but I have to post them because they are true.
Jer 3[15]
"`And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.
Hev 13:17[17]Obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls, as men who will have to give account. Let them do this joyfully, and not sadly, for that would be of no advantage to you.
if all the churches burnt to the ground and all that was left was the word of God..would you be having these hateful chats? I think not. We all believe that Jesus is the way the TRUTH.throw out all the other stuff and what do you have? He cares not about your buildings your rituals he only cares about when you and him are alone and that he knew you.Does he know you?do you date your groom?or are you just about what you do in front of others?You really think a RELIGION is going to save you?
@withwingss -- Lots of ritual in the book of revelations mr. wings. God is not against ritual or Church buildings. People in the New Testament were in fact a part of a Church. Where would you maverick Christian take your dispute as prescribed in Matt 18? Jesus says take it to the Church. Which one? You say there is no true Church. No authority. Just every man and his Bible. Doesn't work with that and many other passages. Sorry.
@imromancatholic why are you so angry? why does it matter to you that other people believe different things..why are you so determined to SHOW everyone that you are right? why don't you go to an atheist video, if you want to fight so bad? The true signs of a believer is humble meek ...ya know like Christ. You are so busy defending denomination you forgot you are a believer. Why waist so much energy. These people are your brothers and sisters....?
@withwingss - What makes you think I am angry? Because I oppose your false teachings? I guess your humble and meek and you will make dang sure we know about it. Truth matters. It is not I that is right. It is Christ's Church that is right and so I will defend what he set up. Sorry that offends.
@withwingss Why did Paul care what others believed. They weren't hurting anybody. But he said:10] For there are many insubordinate men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially the circumcision party;
[11] THEY MUST BE SILENCED, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for base gain what they have NO RIGHT TO TEACH.
@withwingss Excellent point! God bless you! I was a Roman Catholic slave for 39 years in bondage of the "spirit of religion" rooted in the Vatican man-made institution! I thank God for only the Word, truth that delivered my soul from a works based salvation! I challenge ANY Catholic to this question? "If you died today would you go to heaven?" I guarantee 99% will reply with either "hope so?" "Not sure?" "by being good?" "pray me out of purgatory?" etc. Catholics have no answer for Eph. 1:11-14
@rtarasiak In the name of the 2 great Apostles,Peter and Paul,as a Catholic,I will GLADLY take up your challenge.I have a certain HOPE of salvation,NOT a certain knowledge of it.The words ,so often quoted,from 1John 5:13 have NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the FALSE doctrine of assurance issued by Luther! What God has promised to do ,He is CERTAIN to accomplish it! THAT certainty is based on Divine election NOT human caprice.(1John 2:25) To maintain otherwise is to throw out half the Bible!
@MrJhb211 Answer please: If you died tonight are you certain that you would be in heaven? Also since you appear to know evverything per your post, explain Ephesians 1:11-14 please using proper hermenuetics? Thank you. Jesus loves you!
@rtarasiak First of all,Mike did NOT tell the truth! His treatment of the Scriptures was ATROCIOUS Nothing original! Lorraine Boettner trash! His statement about the Church Fathers shows his IGNORANCE and ARROGANCE! Why are evangelicals SUCH SLAVES? As a Catholic,I,ve ALWAYS BEEN FREE to study the Scriptures ON MY OWN "You've been payed for with a price.BE NOT the slaves of men" (1Cor 7:23) Mike's "hermeneutics" is the bastard child of the 16th century !Evangelicalism IS Phariseeism!
@MrJhb211 Last time i looked at the definition of evangelicalism it is to go and evangelize people with the good news, i.e the Gospel? Answer the questions please? Explain Ephesians 1:11-14? And If you died tonight would you be certain that you would be in heaven? Otherwise if you do not want to answer than leave this blog? Thank you and Jesus loves you as well as I! John 3:3, 3:16, Rom., 3:23-24, Rom. 4, 5:1, Eph. 1:11-14 thank you, Saint Bob
@rtarasiak Your question,"if you were to die tonight,are you certain you would be in heaven?" was ALREADY answered! Ur idea of assurance is PRESUMPTUOUS and is the product of Luther's BLASPHEMOUS doctrine of justification.Our certainty of salvation is based on the elective grace of God,NOT someones decision to "receive Christ" To be sealed for the day of redemption takes place in baptism when "the name of God' is written on our forehead(Gal 3:1) Only God knows His elect! (2Tim 2:19)
@MrJhb211 You seem upset? Truth getting to you? Please look at Eph. 1:11-14 and explain this verse? Your Vatican has no response to this, since they believe one is justified by works along with faith?
@rtarasiak Are you a comedian? Truth getting to me? I seem upset? The truth has,by the sheer grace of God gotten to me and I thank Him for it! Why do you keep mentioning Eph 1:11-14? Why do you think that supports ur delusion?? "My" Vatican has no response? Rome has been giving responses to heresy for 2000 yrs These little boxes are not a good place to engage in a full discussion on this.1 thing that IS CLEAR is that ur NOT well informed on the subject matter you've brought up!
@rtarasiak gee pastor Liar that question was answered a long time ago but with all liars you refuse to accept truth in favor of Lies as for your Lie since they believe one is justified by works along with faith? show us your proof should be easy for you proving your lie. since they believe one is justified by works along with faith?by the way I answered on your question on Eph. 1:11-14 would you like it again..
@MrJhb211 The verses you quoted has nothing to do with justification? The scripture that does is: Rom. 5:1,9, 3:24,20,28, 4:2, 10:19, 1 Cor. 6:11, Gal. 2:16, I am certain I am saved by HIS Work!
@rtarasiak SIR! I dont "appear to know everthing" Just ANOTHER FALSE JUDGMENT among the many you've posted here,so far By the sheer grace of God ,i learn things every day from the word of God,for which I am most grateful!.When you leave the Catholic Church and Her communion,the only assurance the Scriptures gives you is DAMNATION NOT SALVATION! ( John 13:30,1John 2:19,Heb 6:4-6.Heb 10:25-31..) I can tell from ur posts that you've fully imbibed the poison of your masters I PITY U!
@rtarasiak by the way i have proved you wer never a catholic you cant even answer the basics of the faith Liar pay you out of purgatory pllease give me that line of your BS with some proof
@withwingss Praise the Lord Jesus Christ! Remember the Roman Catholic is not born-again and thus does not have the Spirit of God? They only have a man-made religion and traditions of man, even to the point that it is elevated equal and sometimes above the Word of God! We know per the Word of God Jesus rebuked the religious of His day for elevating doctrine of man higher than the relationship with God! Keep up the good Word withwings! We have the Spirit of truth, they have the spirit of error!
@rtarasiak Praise the Lord Jesus Christ! Remember the Roman Catholic is not born-again gee remember the council of Trents statmet again their pastor Liar it was given to you several times The Council of Trent declared:
“ . . . if they [men] were not born again in Christ, they would never be justified, since in that new birth there is bestowed upon them, through the merit of His passion, the grace by which they are made just . . gee pastor why the continued Lying
@rtarasiak who invented your foursquare gospel church again a women oh jez following woman made traditions their pastor replet with man made by laws of your religion
@rtarasiak What is the use of your preaching sermons and catechizing the young, if the Bible at home is a sufficient guide for your people? The fact is, you reverend gentlemen contradict in practice what you so vehemently advance in theory. Do not tell me that the Bible is allsufficient; or, if you believe it is self-sufficient, cease your instructions. Stand not between the people and the Scriptures.
@rtarasiak Gee pastor liar We often hear "The Bible, and the Bible only must be your guide." Why then do you go to the useless expense of building fine churches, and Sunday-schools?
you are going back and forth about doctrine?all you need is a bible and no a man telling what you believe.Just believe in the word of GOD and stop arguing over the scriptures.You believe what you were raised in, yet that does not make it the right doctrine. A walk with Christ is so pure, just take the scriptures for what they say not what a man tells you they say!Can you do that?Do you really think at the gate you have to have a membership card?and yours is the right one???
@withwingss - Catholicism is not about a membership card. Such a statement is pure prejudice. Catholicism is a life ordered with how Christ established his Church. You come on here and criticize us because we stand for what we believe the Bible says. Just because it agrees with Catholicism, you determine that it is wrong. I will challenge you on any Catholic doctrine to prove it does not line up with the Bible.
@imromancatholic Ms.... I was raised and baptized in the Catholic church! If you call your self a Catholic and or a Christian move that knowledge of your 18 inches.you prowl this video like a viper waiting to pounce. Christianity is to show the LOVE of Christ. His holy holy word is not to be argued. What is it you are trying to accomplish? )I will challenge you on any Catholic doctrine to prove it does not line up with the Bible. ) you said this?????? Challenge? NOT LINE UP???
@withwingss - They all line up. I will challenge you on any doctrine you say does not line up. Did you bother to listen to this video that all these anti-catholics praise. Many who claim to have been raised catholic knew very little. Not sure if it is because they didn't pay attention or had bad teachers.
@imromancatholic you make my heart sad. Isiah 17 is unfolding right before our eyes and this world we live in is has fallen. Christians are being persecuted all over the world and you spend your energy defending that being Catholic is KING. Our country is collapsing and we are loosing our freedom and you waste your time arguing. Our savior is on the brink of his return and yet you find it necessary to waste time under this video defending a cult. God hates religion.GO GET SAVED
@withwingss - Evidently you hate God's word. Did you bother to read the scripture passages I posted? Doubtful. Why don't you listen to this video? It attacks Catholicism and that is why I am here. I don't go on Protestant videos that express their protestant beliefs. You have decided that there is no absolute truth in an absolute fashion and so you criticize me for believing in absolute truth. "Go get saved" you say, making yourself the judge as to whether I am or not.
@imromancatholic The only thing Mike did was present the facts of the CCC and the doctrine of the RCC verses Biblical truth. YOu cannot handle the truth is the problem, its your heart? Just as mine was prior to becoming born-again? God bless you and Jesus loves you!
@withwingss Sadly imromancatholic is indoctrinated in false interpretation of the Word of God. And the Magisterium numerous times have placed tradition to be equal or above the Bible! A Catholic will never see the light until they humble themselves, and it is obvious the "fruit"they reveal in that they are not born-again nor have the Holy Spirit? Otherwise they would not write such nasty words of others, which reveal the true heart they have which is of the world and NOT of God! Pray for them!
@rtarasiak I think Paul taught us about tradition as well as Jesus saying fololow the traditions and hold fast to the traditions of what you were taught their pstor make it up
Acts.19 [8] And he entered the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly, arguing and pleading about the kingdom of God;
Acts.18 [4] And he argued in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
Acts.17 1. [2] And Paul went in, as was his custom, and for three weeks he argued with them from the scriptures, 2. [17] So he argued in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the market place every day with those who chanced to be there.
@imromancatholic The same "church" that murdered thousands for 600 years during the inquisition! Yes, I am sure Jesus is proud of the Roman Catholic institution of these murders? Yes, I am sure Jesus is proud of how much money the Vatican stole from poor people offering a piece of paper to people promising them remission of sins and heaven if they pay for it? Hmm. Yes! This is Jesus' Church!!!! LOL!!!! yea right! Sadly you are blinded as I was for 39 years and now delivered out of the lies!
@rtarasiak boy and all this time I thought the Inquestion was started By a secular King and the church steped in to stop the wanton Killing tell me about what your forfathes did their pastor to catholics you can start in the Usa if you like with the Klan Knownothings etc
@withwingss Great point! ONLY those who have trusted in Christ "ONCE and for all sacrifice" and "walk by faith and not by sight" will enter into the TRUE rest of Christ! If one could earn salvation then God would not of had to send His Son Jesus? Sadly the Catholics are indoctrinated by wisdom of man, and human philosophy, and traditions of man! They take one scripture from James and started an entire false church and preach another gospel! Thus Vatican and papal power control manipulate people
@withwingss - I don't have A MAN telling me what to believe. I have Christ's Church. More ignorance about membership cards as if I am unstudied about the Bible. As if your reading of the Bible is superior to mine. Your posts are as hateful as you claim mine to be.
@withwingss Remember Withwings, the Catholic is indoctrinated from generation to generation with traditions of man and their own invalid and wrong interpretation of scripture, twisting it to back up their tradition. The bottom line is this and I say this in love, The Word changes us, we do NOT change the Word! Search on the Internet para 969 of their Catechism and you will read Mary being called "mediatrix, advocate...and continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation" Blasphemy!!!!
@rtarasiak Remember Withwings, the Catholic is indoctrinated from generation to generation with traditions of man wht yes Christmass Sunday Service The Trinity yup all traditions and the Bigest one of aall the Bible
Funny, wacko after wacko comes on this thread each with their own set of beliefs and contradictory to Mr. Gendron. It really doesn't matter what these guys believe. They will pat eachother on the back as long as they are pounding Catholic beliefs. I have said many times, the hope within protestantism is that catholicism is false.
The Church came BEFORE The New Testament! The Catholic Church would have folded years ago if not for THE HOLY SPIRIT Holding Her Up! The Gates of Hell WILL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT! Our Lord Jesus Christ DECLARED this...and your point is?
The pope is the beast of Rev13 and the vatican is the harlot church of Rev17. The pope changed the sabbath day to sunday a pagan satanic day,he gave orders to torture and kill the true christians in the dark ages 50 million in total,he called himself JESUS SUBSTITUE vicarus filii dei which is what the prophet daniel said the anti christ would dare to claim about himself. Rev17 says the harlot church sits with the anti christ on the city which lays on seven hills ROME. Put it together JESUSLOVESU
@imromancatholic it is impossible for an infant to fulfill the requirements for salvation. Especially where Romans 10:9-10 are concerned ...unless of course we have missed the incredible scientific discovery that ALL infants actually do speak and comprehend
@martlut there are no children in hell.As you read the Word of G-d you will discover that there is an age of accountability ... until a child reaches that and becomes an adult ...etc.
@simplybleu - Okay so which is it, babies go to hell or there are two paths of salvation, one for babies and one for adults? I suppose if you don't believe a Baby can recieve the Holy Spirit or baptism confers the Holy Spirit then you would think the way you do. The problem is we know that babies can receve the HS, as John the Baptist reieved it in his mother's womb.
@imromancatholic There are no children in hell. IF you read the Word of G-d you will discover that there is an age of accountability AFTER John the Baptist fulfilled his anointed position/what he was called TO do Here after we READ the words of our Saviour who SAID You MUST confess with your mouth believe in your HEART & BE baptized. G-d moves forward - never backwards. His Word IS His WORD. You don't have to believe me, that's fine - ASK G-d. Not your brother,priest Seek HIm!
@simplybleu - I would have thought you would have given me some passages that prove that there is an age of accountability and what that age is? I thought all men needed Christ for salvation but now your telling me that some (children) do not. Again I thought Jesus was THEE WAY and there was only one way to get to heaven. Now you are telling me there are two.
@imromancatholic hmm .. and i hear i made the mistake of thinking you use your brain. LOOK IT UP ... and yes MEN - Not Babies. Stop twisting my words. Yeshua is the ONLY way. Not Mary, Not those who pray for you AFTER you die, .. I am the way the truth and the life and NO ONE comes unto the Father except by me. John 14:6. There is not enough space in a YouTube reply to supply you will ALL you need. There IS a difference between "men" & "children" wouldn't you agree?
@poolshank I did not have PRotestants tell me lies. You assume. My born-again experience had nothing to do with any other person but myself and G-d. And i am pretty sure, G-d doesn't lie. In fact in His Word it states: Romans 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
@simplybleu - There is no difference with regard to them being able to receive the Holy Spirit. Both are human and have a soul. Both can receive the Holy Spirit as John the Baptist did. It is the Holy Spirit that cleanses us so we can enter heaven. Babies don't need to confess sins because they don't have any. Clearly those who are without sin can be baptized. Jesus was. God implants the seed of faith in a man and there is no reason he can't do that for a baby.
@simplybleu - By the way I read the Bible every day so what's your point. You have a distorted view of what the purpose of priests is based on your prejudices about Catholics.
@imromancatholic you make judgments, you make assumptions, you decide in your own mind what someone else thinks, or believes and then point your finger. You know here's a funny thing perhaps you should read Revelation 12:10 for you seem to fit these shoes. If that is indeed what you do, then whose child are you and to what goal do you seek after?
@dsjpk55 [[He doesnt offer one shred of evidence to support his claims.]] Easily refuted if you can find in the 1st century a priest offering sacrifices for sins,offering indulgences,Christians praying for souls in purgatory,church leaders forbidding marriage,infallible men in the 1st century church, salvation dispensed through the sacraments.
People will always say this and that about the Catholic Church ALWAYS but Jesus himself have already said to Peter that " I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" WE CATHOLIC have been standing for over 2000 years and we will carry on like that because Jesus himself said so!!! This dude needs to stop HATING!!!
@JOHVAN01 You can have your dead sacraments which keep you a slave on the broad way to destruction, but as for me and my house, we have the living FREE GIFT of God by faith alone in Jesus Christ.
@JOHVAN01 [[This dude needs to stop HATING!!! ]] I constantly see this claim when contending with Islam, Mormonism, and yes Catholicism. Ascertaining truth cannot be construed as hate. It in fact is a demonstration of love since it is the opposite of deception if dialogue is unrestricted. In Christianity we implore and invite for the toughest scrutiny we can confront in the interest of pursuit of truth. If you truly believe Catholicism is the right way then you would invite scrutiny.
@JOHVAN01 I, too was raised catholic Instead of standing for religion of Catholicism, ask the Lord that IF (what this man is teaching) IS true - to reveal it to you. Ask with sincerity, wanting to truly know once and for all. Not by your fellow man, not by
a priest, but by & thru & from the Lord. Jeremiah 29:13 And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart. Pro 8:17
I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. Ask HIM! Peace
@martlut what? o you cannot be serious? who filled you with such delusion? The Old Testament is from the Dead Sea Scrolls, most treasured documents that were discovered in 11 caves between 1947 & 1956.In 1380 A.D. The first English translation of the Bible was by John Wycliffe (he was no pope). There are over 5,600 original Greek manuscripts still in existence today, NOT from a pope. So of the 66 books and the 40 authors OF the bible - not one was a pope.
@simplybleu Guess what books were found among the dead sea scrolls thier goes your baloney out the window and proves the catholic position what a clown.. By the way The OT was written before the dead sea scrolls.
@martlut dear dear child the Old Testament IS the dead sea scrolls. Their discovery supported what was previously written:The Scrolls can be divided into two categories—biblical and non-biblical. Fragments of every book of the Hebrew canon (Old Testament) have been discovered except for the book of Esther. There are now identified among the scrolls, 19 copies of the Book of Isaiah, 25 copies of Deuteronomy and 30 copies of the Psalms . (part 1)
@martlut The Isaiah Scroll, found relatively intact, is 1000 years older than any previously known copy of Isaiah. In fact, the scrolls are the oldest group of Old Testament manuscripts ever found. The Scrolls are for the most part, written in Hebrew, but there are many written in Aramaic. Aramaic was the common language of the Jews of Palestine for the last two centuries B.C. and of the first two centuries A.D. (part 2)
@martlut The discovery of the Scrolls has greatly enhanced our knowledge of these two languages. In addition, there are a few texts written in Greek.The Scrolls appear to be the library of a Jewish sect. The library was hidden away in caves around the outbreak of the First Jewish Revolt (A.D. 66-70) as the Roman army advanced against the rebel Jews. The Scrolls are for the most part, written in Hebrew, but there are many written in Aramaic. (part 3)
@martlut Aramaic was the common language of the Jews of Palestine for the last two centuries B.C. and of the first two centuries A.D. The discovery of the Scrolls has greatly enhanced our knowledge of these 2 languages. In addition, there are a few texts written in Greek. The Dead Sea Scrolls were most likely written by the Essenes during the period from about 200 B.C. to 68 C.E./A.D. The Essenes are mentioned by Josephus and in a few other sources, but not in the New testament. (part4
@martlut The Essenes were a strict Torah observant, Messianic, apocalyptic, baptist, wilderness, new covenant Jewish sect. They were led by a priest they called the "Teacher of Righteousness," who was opposed and possibly killed by the establishment priesthood (true priesthood -not catholic) in Jerusalem. The last words of Joseph, Judah, Levi, Naphtali, and Amram (the father of Moses) are written down in the Scrolls. (part 5)
@martlut The Scrolls have revolutionized textual criticism of the Old Testament. Interestingly, now with manuscripts predating the medieval period, we find these texts in substantial agreement with the Masoretic text as well as widely variant forms. The major intact texts, from Caves 1 & 11, were published by the late fifties and are now housed in the Shrine of the Book museum in Jerusalem. .... need i say more? (part 6)
@simplybleu 8TH CENTURY,THE FIRST TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE IN TO ENGLISH LANGUAGE: By Aldhelm, the Bishop of Sherborne, and Bede. A 9th century translation of the Bible in to English (Anglo-Saxon the dialect of its time) was made by Alfred. A tenth century translation in to English was made by Aelfric. By 1361 a translation of most of Scripture in the English dialect (Anglo-Norman) of its time had been executed This was twenty years before Wycliffe's 1381 translation
@simplybleu sorry their are no original greek Documents left today and wycliff used 10th century translations lol. Sorry the first cannonized Bible and the Books chosen were from Pope St. Damasus I, at the Council of Rome in 382, issued a decree appropriately called, "The Decree of Damasus",
@simplybleu Pope St. Damasus I, at the Council of Rome in 382, issued a decree appropriately called, "The Decree of Damasus", in which he listed the canonical books of both the Old and New Testaments. He then asked St. Jerome to use this canon and to write a new Bible translation which included an Old Testament of 46 books, which were all in the Septuagint, and a New Testament of 27 books.
@martlut The sad thing is, is that i do .. i just did not believe i had to write it ALL down in here for you. So now, i have, ~sighs~. you wish to argue text. I wish for you to be awoken to the truth and that you become truly set free. Not by man, not by a religion, not by text, but by HIS Spirit, says the Lord.

Thanks Mike for TRUTH about the lies of Catholicism! The Catholic institution has o answer for the following scripture since they profess works and faith is salvation! Yet Apostle Paul clearly writes about a guaranteed salvation and no purgatory! Example" In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were SEALED with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance
Ephesians 1 to bad your church wasnt around at the time And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
"Do not, therefore, regard the bread and wine as simply that, for they are, according to the Master’s declaration, the body and blood of Christ. Even though the senses suggest to you the other, let faith make you firm. Do not judge in this matter by taste, but be fully assured by faith, not doubting that you have been deemed worthy of the body and blood of Christ" -Cyril of Jerusalem, mid-300s
@matthew799701 Did you not hear the under current of the message, especially towards the very end? Thru the Word - from the Word, by the Word, let the Word answer your questions .... you have your eyes on man. Don't let your heart be harden just because it goes against everything you have believed. Seek HIM! Ask HIM, trust HIM. Not man, not a priest, not your own understanding - those who seek me, SHALL find me. 'Shall" means Shall! ...if we put our faith in men, they will fail us
@simplybleu You are using one Protestant belief (sola scriptura) which Catholics do not believe in order to prove another Protestant belief (emptiness of the Eucharist) that Catholics do not believe. Ignoring the fact that nowhere in Scripture does it say the Eucharist is an empty symbol, I understand you hold no value in the traditions and teachings of the earliest Church fathers (we do). I was meeting Gendron's challenge.... where in the early church do we see these things? I showed them.
@simplybleu As far as seeking and finding truth... lots of protestants seek truth and find different ones. Pray tell, which protestant sect is the right one???
Did it occur to you that Catholics may also seek truth? Why do you assume you are seeking and have found, yet we are not seeking and are lost? Perhaps the truth IS revealed to those who seek, yet many refuse to see.
@matthew799701 NONE of the Protestants ... i WAS a catholic. Raised,baptized AND confirmed. BUT G-d! called me out .. i didn't seek after men, i didn't seek after a religion, nor did i seek after tradition. For He is Not ANY of these. He IS a relationship. I don't give to cents about the early church fathers, nor traditions, or rituals or whatever manner of catholicism you wish to bring in. I am sharing with you from my heart. If you seek after men you shall surely fall (part 1)
@simplybleu You have created your own religion: your own personal Protestant church. The authors of the Scriptures, the earliest Christians (those who learned directly from Jesus) and Jesus himself taught contrary to what you are putting your faith into.
You say to trust no man, but you are trusting in yourself. God promised the Holy Spirit to guide the Church for our benefit. The Church guided by the Holy Spirit is not a man. I trust the Church, and the promise of the Holy Spirit.
@matthew799701 and you kind sir ASSUME. I have not created any religion. i do not follow a nor any religion. I do not trust my own understandings, i only trust Him. MY RELATIONSHIP with G-d Yeshua AND the Holy Spirit are my guide. To trust myself is to believe i can save myself, which i cannot. I Only Trust HIM. The true church is not a religion, it is you, it is me - "we" are the church.Read the Word. Let He who IS the Word lead, guide, instruct and teach you.
@simplybleu - So Jesus didn't start up any organization? Gee then how did all those people know to show up in Jerusalem in Acts 15? Jer 3:15 says he will give you shepherds after his heart who will give you knowledge and understanding. Guess that passage isn't true.
@simplybleu You trust your own personal beliefs how to be saved. This belief is unfounded. Please tell me, what is your source for even believing that we are to "only Trust HIM" and that "If you seek after men you shall surely fall"? I suppose God told you these things directly?
@matthew799701 "Christian" means "Christ-in". Never does the catholic church EVER teach you that you MUST have Him within. Having a born-again experience will change your life! Until then, you are just one more of the lost sheep being fed a great big lie. Get past man's thinking. Seek After HIM and HIM alone! I care not to argue with you. But i DO care where you end eternally. This man is telling you the truth. Open your Eyes, open your ears Open Your Heart. (part 2)
@simplybleu gee Christian means Christ In where do I find that in the bible guess you didnt know the word was coined by a catholic Bishop in antiock guess you didnt know all catholics are born again another thing you proties stole from catholics
@martlut so tell me Martlut where in the bible do you find the word "Christianity"? And the word "christian" is mentioned only twice in Acts and in 1Peter. It was a term given to those gentiles who came to believe on Yeshua the Messiah. Not the original 12 apostles nor the Jews who were born-again. Think about it: 'Christian' hmm ... it means to have Christ In you. There isn't enough time nor space in a YouTube reply box to share everything with you. Ah, but you do have the internet!.
@simplybleu tell me where in the Bible do you find the word trinity where in the bible does it say Christian means Christ in you appears no place in scripture and neither does Yeshua appear in the NT
You are misunderstanding and misrepresenting the Catholic faith. Not only do we believe that the Lord dwells in us, we believe even further that He is literally in us through the Eucharist.
It is great to seek the Truth, but there is no promise that you will find or accept the truth right away. It may take a lifetime for some. Clearly your knowledge of truth and salvation contradict the Bible AND the tradition of the Church, so do you claim that God has made this revelation to you directly?
"Not as common bread or common drink do we receive these; but since Jesus Christ our Savior was made incarnate by the word of God and had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so too, as we have been taught, the food which has been made into the Eucharist by the Eucharistic prayer set down by him, and by the change of which our blood and flesh is nourished, . . . is both the flesh and the blood of that incarnated Jesus" -Justin Martyr apology around 150 A.D.
"..they abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which the Father, in his goodness, raised up again" -from a letter to the Smyrnaeans around 110 A.D. from Ignatius of Antioch, disciple of the apostle John.
RCC does not claim infallible men, then or ever. The Pope and bishops may declare teachings to be infallible. Are you claiming that somehow the infallible Bible was fallibly written and fallibly compiled by men?
Indulgences may not be bought. They are not only found 1st century, they can be seen in Scripture.
Purgatory was believed even before New Testament times and praying for the dead is a practice that can be seen long before the 1st century and after.
protestantism is a man made religion.

I'm not Catholic, but faith = trust + obedience. Heb 5:9 You're saved through obedience to the gospel. "But God be thanked that though you were the servants of sin but ye have OBEYED from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered to you. Being THEN made free from sin you became the servants of righteousness."Rom. 6:17-18 Study the bible!

I thank God for only the Word, truth that delivered my soul from a works based salvation! I challenge ANY Catholic to this question? "If you died today would you go to heaven?" I guarantee 99% will reply with either "hope so?" "Not sure?" "by being good?" "pray me out of purgatory?" etc. Catholics have no answer for Eph. 1:11-14

@rtarasiak In the name of the 2 great Apostles,Peter and Paul,as a Catholic,I will GLADLY take up your challenge.I have a certain HOPE of salvation,NOT a certain knowledge of it.The words ,so often quoted,from 1John 5:13 have NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the FALSE doctrine of assurance issued by Luther! What God has promised to do ,He is CERTAIN to accomplish it! THAT certainty is based on Divine election NOT human caprice.(1John 2:25) To maintain otherwise is to throw out half the Bible!

Ur idea of assurance is PRESUMPTUOUS and is the product of Luther's BLASPHEMOUS doctrine of justification.Our certainty of salvation is based on the elective grace of God,NOT someones decision to "receive Christ" To be sealed for the day of redemption takes place in baptism when "the name of God' is written on our forehead(Gal 3:1) Only God knows His elect!

@simplybleu As far as seeking and finding truth... lots of protestants seek truth and find different ones. Pray tell, which protestant sect is the right one???
Did it occur to you that Catholics may also seek truth? Why do you assume you are seeking and have found, yet we are not seeking and are lost? Perhaps the truth IS revealed to those who seek, yet many refuse to see.

@matthew799701 NONE of the Protestants ... i WAS a catholic. Raised,baptized AND confirmed. BUT G-d! called me out .. i didn't seek after men, i didn't seek after a religion, nor did i seek after tradition. For He is Not ANY of these. He IS a relationship. I don't give to cents about the early church fathers, nor traditions, or rituals or whatever manner of catholicism you wish to bring in. I am sharing with you from my heart. If you seek after men you shall surely fall (part 1)

@simplybleu You have created your own religion: your own personal Protestant church. The authors of the Scriptures, the earliest Christians (those who learned directly from Jesus) and Jesus himself taught contrary to what you are putting your faith into.
You say to trust no man, but you are trusting in yourself. God promised the Holy Spirit to guide the Church for our benefit. The Church guided by the Holy Spirit is not a man. I trust the Church, and the promise of the Holy Spirit.

@matthew799701 and you kind sir ASSUME. I have not created any religion. i do not follow a nor any religion. I do not trust my own understandings, i only trust Him. MY RELATIONSHIP with G-d Yeshua AND the Holy Spirit are my guide. To trust myself is to believe i can save myself, which i cannot. I Only Trust HIM. The true church is not a religion, it is you, it is me - "we" are the church.Read the Word. Let He who IS the Word lead, guide, instruct and teach you.

@simplybleu - So Jesus didn't start up any organization? Gee then how did all those people know to show up in Jerusalem in Acts 15? Jer 3:15 says he will give you shepherds after his heart who will give you knowledge and understanding. Guess that passage isn't true.

@simplybleu You trust your own personal beliefs how to be saved. This belief is unfounded. Please tell me, what is your source for even believing that we are to "only Trust HIM" and that "If you seek after men you shall surely fall"? I suppose God told you these things directly?

@matthew799701 "Christian" means "Christ-in". Never does the catholic church EVER teach you that you MUST have Him within. Having a born-again experience will change your life! Until then, you are just one more of the lost sheep being fed a great big lie. Get past man's thinking. Seek After HIM and HIM alone! I care not to argue with you. But i DO care where you end eternally. This man is telling you the truth. Open your Eyes, open your ears Open Your Heart. (part 2)

@martlut so tell me Martlut where in the bible do you find the word "Christianity"? And the word "christian" is mentioned only twice in Acts and in 1Peter. It was a term given to those gentiles who came to believe on Yeshua the Messiah. Not the original 12 apostles nor the Jews who were born-again. Think about it: 'Christian' hmm ... it means to have Christ In you. There isn't enough time nor space in a YouTube reply box to share everything with you. Ah, but you do have the internet!.

You are misunderstanding and misrepresenting the Catholic faith. Not only do we believe that the Lord dwells in us, we believe even further that He is literally in us through the Eucharist.
It is great to seek the Truth, but there is no promise that you will find or accept the truth right away. It may take a lifetime for some. Clearly your knowledge of truth and salvation contradict the Bible AND the tradition of the Church, so do you claim that God has made this revelation to you directly?

"Not as common bread or common drink do we receive these; but since Jesus Christ our Savior was made incarnate by the word of God and had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so too, as we have been taught, the food which has been made into the Eucharist by the Eucharistic prayer set down by him, and by the change of which our blood and flesh is nourished, . . . is both the flesh and the blood of that incarnated Jesus" -Justin Martyr apology around 150 A.D.

"..they abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which the Father, in his goodness, raised up again" -from a letter to the Smyrnaeans around 110 A.D. from Ignatius of Antioch, disciple of the apostle John.

Celibacy is not RCC doctrine.
RCC does not claim infallible men, then or ever. The Pope and bishops may declare teachings to be infallible. Are you claiming that somehow the infallible Bible was fallibly written and fallibly compiled by men?
Indulgences may not be bought. They are not only found 1st century, they can be seen in Scripture.
Purgatory was believed even before New Testament times and praying for the dead is a practice that can be seen long before the 1st century and after.
