Roman Catholicism Is Not Biblical #2 (Debate with Monsignor)

[ITSHALLBWHATITSHALLB]

what year is this

[CAnswersTV]

@ITSHALLBWHATITSHALLB This is just a 10 minute clip from a 2 hour mini series entitled "Debate with a Monsignor" done around 1993 or so for public access television in Austin, Texas. Although it has been almost 20 years, the points made are still just as valid now as they were then. We have produced close to 40 videos on Romanism (including many more debates). To see them please type "LARRY WESSELS ROMAN CATHOLICISM" in the YOUTUBE search box. Rob Zins is still going strong (website: CWRC-RZ).

[desouzaj]

We need the Catholic Church, through all the corruption the Church is still here. Even with the corruption the church has never taught error. Now ofcourse you can look into the teachings and twist words and context however you want and make them false. But why are people that are Christian so divided (30,000 denominations)? It comes down to humility, and accepting what the church teaches and not your OWN interpretation, whether you may like it or not, the church is our mother

[CAnswersTV]

@desouzaj Your entire argument isn't based on any kind of Biblical or historical facts but on logical fallacies such as: CARD STACKING, HASTY GENERALIZATION, POST HOC FALLACY, NON SEQUITUR, APPEAL TO IGNORANCE, BEGGING THE QUESTION, & INAPPROPRIATE AUTHORITY. In other words, everything you say is baloney & can be documented as such. Your "faith" is in a human institution not Jesus Christ (John 14:6). For starters see our YT video, "EARLY CHRISTIAN CHURCH HISTORY PROVES ROMAN CATHOLICISM FALSE."

[TheExorcist445]

Very Biblical.

[CAnswersTV]

@TheExorcist445 "Very Biblical" you say? What does 2 Peter 3:16 say? It says, "As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned & unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.." Twisting the scriptures "unto their own destruction" is exactly what Romanists do, just like other groups claiming to be "Very Biblical" like the Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Campbellites, etc.

[phoatogirl]

though he isn't the head of an organization. Some may "kiss the ring" of the CEO of the company they work for and vow to be a "company man" because they believe in the company and their product. What a wonderful thing to have a body of believers look up to one leader.

[CAnswersTV]

@phoatogirl The problem is the Pope isn't a "Vicar of Christ" or a "Holy Father" at all Biblically speaking (Matthew 23:9, 2 Thessalonians 3-12; see also our over 40 hours of shows on Romanism from a Biblical perspective, simply type "LARRY WESSELS ROMAN CATHOLICISM" in the YOUTUBE search box to bring up an array of videos, including more debates; of note see our 1 hour video, "Roman Catholicism Series #8: The Pope - Holy Father or Anti-Christ of 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12?" with a former Catholic.

[JaguarRonin]

@phoatogirl What is your favorite flavor of Kool Aide. I'm sure you will be accomodated.

[CAnswersTV]

@phoatogirl By the way the German people did the same thing with Adolf Hitler the Nazi "company man." Since the Germans decided to follow this one man instead of obeying the clear teaching of the Word of God they got what they paid for, didn't they? Blind obedience to a human leader without giving attendance to what the scriptures teach (2 Tim 3:15-17) is a recipe for total disaster. See our "DEBATE: WAS ADOLF HITLER AN ATHEIST OR A FAITHFUL ROMAN CATHOLIC? WALTER MARTIN VS. MADALYN O'HAIR."

[phoatogirl]

Isn't it wonderful that a church so large can have as it's head ONE person, so that the church is unified throughout the entire world??!!!!!!! It would be natural, of course, to "kiss the ring" of the person in the position of leadership of such an organization, or even one much smaller. Some of us "kiss the ring" of Obama, meaning that we believe in almost everything he stands for and pledge to support him in the next election. Some of us "kiss the ring" of Rush (ditto), even

[phoatogirl]

Monsignors DO NOT have to kiss the ring of a living pope!!!

[CAnswersTV]

@phoatogirl "Monsignor" is a title of distinction given by the Pope himself to certain priests in the Roman Catholic Church as part of a papal honor recognizing the priest's service to the church. The diocesan bishop nominates candidates for the honor & submits the names, biographies, etc to the Pope. If the Pope then, if he wishes, confers the honor onto the priest, the monsignor gets a diploma. All designated "monsignors" have "kissed the Pope's ring" either physically or mentally regardless.

[beyondsection17]

This video makes me unbelievably proud to be Catholic, and not evangelical. Hahaha what a joke.

[CAnswersTV]

@beyondsection17 By all means please share with the readers why you're so "unbelievably proud to be Catholic" because you really didn't give any reasons other than mentioning this video. The video itself shows that the Monsignor believes that someone can believe anything they desire & that'll make them alright with God. Is that why you're "proud to be Catholic"? Isn't it nice to think you can believe anything & you will still go to heaven? Or is it because the Monsignor doesn't need a Bible?

[southernpreacher]

@beyondsection17 The Catholic is one of the biggest deceivers in the world today and has been for about 1500 years. Sadly along with the pope and pope's of the pat many will open their eyes in a burning hell. This is heart breaking knowing someone like pope john paul is there in hell forever & can never do anything to remedy that. He spent a life of service in vain as the followers of the catholic church does.

[CAnswersTV]

@mbaren58 Once again you prove by this statement that you're grasping at straws! Mike Warnke, are you kidding me? You wonder why no one will take you seriously?! Mike Warnke was exposed almost 20 years ago for being a fraud & a cheat; he was never a Satanist at all, get it? He just made all that bogus "Satanic" stuff up in order to sell books & records (it worked for awhile). For documentation do a web search or read the book SELLING SATAN: THE TRAGIC HISTORY OF MIKE WARNKE (Cornerstone Press).

[strongyang]

roman catholic is just like mormon and other cults. Utter heresy

[CAnswersTV]

@mbaren58 You are completely missing the point. I did answer the "words of Moses" with Exodus 20:4-6 & it went completely over your head (1 Corinthians 2:14 obviously applies in your case), get it? Next, you defend the "Homosexual Collective" of the Romanist priesthood with the logical fallacy of ARGUMENTUM AD NUMERUM which in no way proves Romanism is true because other religions do the same thing, get it? The point is this - Roman Catholicism is a man-made COUNTERFEIT "form" of Christianity.

[CAnswersTV]

@mbaren58 After your SNIDE comment about Roman priests being homosexuals it's hard to take anything you say seriously. Here you act as if you know something about Exodus & Matthew & then try to correlate your argument as if it proved the Romanist blasphemy of TRANSUBSTANTIATION. The Romanist "bread & wine" DOES NOT LITERALLY turn into the LITERAL body & blood of Christ, get it? To say it does is BLASPHEMY. To WORSHIP simple bread & wine as God is IDOLATRY, get it? Read Exodus 20:4-6 & learn.

[CAnswersTV]

@mbaren58 Even though it's obvious that your question is not sincere, but rather more of a sneer & an AD HOMINEM, I don't mind answering if for no other reason than to give reference material to other readers of these comments. Roman Catholic sources themselves give the statistical data & documentation. Try reading Romanist researcher Randy Engel's 1282 page book entitled, "The Rite of Sodomy" (over 1000 footnotes) or Michael S. Rose's book, "Goodbye, Good Men" (rampant seminary homosexuality).

[CaliforniaCatholic]

The Catholic Church is the true Church of Christ.

[CAnswersTV]

@CaliforniaCatholic Is the Roman Catholic "church" the "true Church of Christ" when nearly half of the Romanist priests are homosexuals which in turn has led to the great number of child pedophile lawsuits which have been widely advertised around the world (are altar boys safe anymore?)? When the Romanist church clearly teaches the secular humanist religion of Evolution by Charles Darwin (apes became men) - see Ratzinger's writings, the Holy Trinity actually contains the Virgin Mary also, etc.?

[juelzsantana2588]

@CAnswersTV You sir are like one of those people who say "Most Black men are bad and probably going to hell because half of them steal and rape women" Yup I wanna follow you to the promise land your church sounds puuuuuurrfect lol

[CAnswersTV]

@juelzsantana2588 Your entire argument is FALSE simply because your premise is built on the logical fallacies of HASTY GENERALIZATION, GROSS GENERALIZATION, CARD STACKING, NON SEQUITUR, AD IGNORANTIUM, & BEGGING THE QUESTION. It's obvious you're unable to think in a rational manner. Perhaps if you could try to use LOGIC in your reasoning processes you may be ABLE to argue your point. In the meantime, see our LOGICALLY presented 16 hour series on Romanism on GOOGLE VIDEO (search LARRY WESSELS).

[MegaFloyd66]

If Jesus our Lord choose St Peter and his successors to guide His Church until the end of the world, and He is Omniscient . Could He be wrong in His Choice?

[CAnswersTV]

@MegaFloyd66 Once again you've made a MONUMENTAL ASSUMPTION to the eternal detriment of your soul. You've made the fatal mistake of believing the lie that Peter was the first "pope" based on the faulty Romanist misreading of Matthew chapter 16. To get a better perspective on this see our debate video posted on YOUTUBE entitled "Was Peter the First Vicar of Christ?" between 2 Romanists & 2 Christians. Next see our 16 hr series on Romanism on GOOGLE VIDEO (search LARRY WESSELS on their homepage).

[MegaFloyd66]

Are you Bigger than Jesos? The Lord create His Church once and forever. The Catholic Church. All evenual denomination "chiristian" was created by men. God doesn' t make errors. He makes his church, in person, and put it in St, Peter's hands und his succressors until he comes again. Pray for see the light of revelation. In the love of Jesus. From Argentine.

[CAnswersTV]

@MegaFloyd66 Wow, you've just made a monumental ASSUMPTION that'll cost you your ETERNAL SOUL! You've ASSUMED that the Romanist Church (see book, "The Rite of Sodomy" by Randy Engel documenting the mass homosexuality within the Romanist priesthood, see the national news media -TIME magazine, YAHOO NEWS, evening news, etc.- about all the pedophile lawsuits concerning Romanist priests) is a true Christian church which it is NOT! Go to VIMEO VIDEO (search LARRY WESSELS) & see early church video.

[JonWRowe]

@CAnswersTV ,

Maybe you have made the soul damning error. Think about that.

[CAnswersTV]

@JonWRowe I have NOT made a "soul damning error" BECAUSE I've thoroughly researched the Word of God ,the Bible over the last 30 years, have thoroughly researched Romanism over that same number of years (see our 16 hour video series on Romanism on GOOGLE VIDEO with ROB ZINS & LARRY WESSELS, see the YOUTUBE debate between ROBERT FASTIGGI & LARRY WESSELS, or the many videos right here on YOUTUBE by former 25 year Romanist priest RICHARD BENNETT). I became a REAL Christian in 1981 by an act of God.

[MrWillduke]

the best part is the last couple minutes :)

[meekahel]

Untrue! You made an attack on Pope Benedict. I responded to that very specific attack. I KNOW that you have not read his books as listed. Whether you are familiar with Cath Catechism is another debate. I do NOT presume his books will help u w/ Bible but rather help u know P Benedict whom u have denounced without being familiar. Accuse me of assuming u have not read PBenedict if u like (we both know u haven't) but the others (timeless errors of logic: red herrings) were your assumptions entirely!

[CAnswersTV]

@meekahel Your assertion here is completely FALSE. It's unnecessary for me to waste my time reading books by a false prophet who holds himself up as the "Vicar of Christ" on Earth today. Watch our 16 hour series on GOOGLE VIDEO (search LARRY WESSELS, & look for it) which documents Romanism to be a counterfeit religion & the Pope is the CHIEF COUNTERFEIT (& VIRGIN MARY IDOLATER). 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 is a perfect description of the Pope. "Benedict" writes the cosmos is 15 billion years old.

[resarie85]

@CAnswersTV The Pope is an idolator for showing love and respect to the mother of the Son of God? Wow.... Somehow I think you are pushing your own agenda and are not at all Christian... Any and every Christian knows that Christ asks us to love His mother as our own...

[CAnswersTV]

@resarie85 Let's start with Luke 14:26, 'If any man come to me, & hate not his father, & mother, & his wife, & children, & brethren, & sisters, yea, & his own life also, he CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE." The only agenda being pushed is Jesus' instructions. If you put anything before Jesus you CANNOT be His disciple (Exodus 20:3-6). The current Pope denies the physical resurrection of Christ, teaches universalism, & believes men came from apes evolution (see his book, INTRODUCTION TO CHRISTIANITY).

[resarie85]

@CAnswersTV Actually... It says you must love Him MORE than your family, not hate them.. THis coming from the KJV which I don't trust in the first place, but there it is..... And as far as the Pope denying Christ's physical resurrection, buddy, you're just a damn liar...... And as far as everything else, it seems to me like you're just inventing crap to say about the Pope in the hopes of bringing down Catholicism..... Get over it, we aren't going anywhere. Look up Catholicism on wiki

[CAnswersTV]

@resarie85 The only one "lying' is you since you refuse to research these matters. You have a BLIND FAITH in your apostate Romanist church & pope. The pedophile Romanist priesthood (check all the lawsuits against Roman priests in the news) & the homosexual pope Paul VI are well documented. Your current pope denies the physical resurrection of Christ (see his book, INTRODUCTION TO CHRISTIANITY, page 246, "the resurrection of the body" is not the "resurrection of physical bodies." Also pp 240 ff.

[judyroks]

@meekahel OK, you read the pope's book. Thats O.K., but have you read the bible?

[shemae25]

@judyroks what's wrong if not biblical? GOD establish a church not a book or bible' there so many truths that never can be found on a book' to base only in the bible is a devils biggest advocacy..

[CAnswersTV]

@shemae25 "What's wrong if not biblical?", are you kidding?! The Bible claims to be the VERY WORD OF GOD, get it? Genesis chapter 1 says "God said" nine times. "The Lord spoke" appears 560 times in the first 5 books of the Bible & 3800 times in the Old Testament. Jesus, in the New Testament, quoted from 24 O.T. books alone & claimed they were the WORD OF GOD. The prophets (Moses, David, Isaiah, etc) & the apostles (Matthew, John, Paul etc) all claim these scriptures came from God (2 Peter 3:16).

[hwoods01]

@CAnswersTV "the bible claims to be the VERY WORD Of GOT, Get it?".. I get that there are literary thousands of versions of the bible. Even the oldest, the codex Vatanicus and the Codex Sinaticus - both written around the same time, 400AD, and both written in Greek, are not the same! So, if you claim that Mary, on Oct 1917 was a demon speaking FALSELY in the name of God, then how can his word be protected from being FALSELY written? You cant have both it both ways.

[CAnswersTV]

@hwoods01 Sorry to disappoint you but you MISUNDERSTAND biblical inerrancy COMPLETELY. The scriptures were established during the time of the apostles (2 Peter 3:16), get it? The Old Testament was already ESTABLISHED during the time of Jesus & the New Testament was ESTABLISHED during the time of the apostles (1 Timothy 5:18, 1 Corinthians 9:14), get it? For more on this study our websites: BIBLEQUERY ORG & HISTORYCART COM. Besides, a person won't believe the Bible unless they're SAVED anyway.

[judyroks]

@shemae25 That is propably the dumbest statement ever mad....God inspired the men who wrote the Bible...book of life. That is what is wrong with churches today they do not use it, because they think they are to good. Keep Christ in church!!!

[juelzsantana2588]

@judyroks What church are you talking about because it is certainty not Catholic my friend.. The entire mass is centered around biblical scripture..

[CAnswersTV]

@juelzsantana2588 We ARE talking about the Romanist church (of course there are many false religions throughout the world, Roman Catholicism just happens to be one of the biggest FALSE RELIGIONS masquerading as Christianity). The Roman Mass, literally "eating" Christ's body & "drinking" His blood is FALSE. This is figuritive language because the Greek text does NOT say "touto gignetai" (meaning, 'has become or turned into') but "touto esti" (meaning, 'this signifies, represents, or stands for).

[AtomicMonster559]

@CAnswersTV --The Host may be described as a "symbol", but it is what it represents, i.e. the body of Christ. We real Christians call this an efficatious symbol.

[CAnswersTV]

@AtomicMonster559 Your own Romanist cult condemns you. Read it & weep,"Council of Trent, Canon 1: If any one shall deny that the body & blood, together with the soul & divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, & therefore entire Christ, are truly, really & substantially contained in the sacrament of the most holy EUCHARIST; & shall say that He is only in it as a sign, or in a figure, or virtually, -- LET HIM BE ACCURSED." You say it's a SYMBOL. Looks like you're DAMNED. Better get holy water buddy!

[meekahel]

As per prev comm I love the Bible and read and absorb it as Christ's ever new and always relevant testimony everyday. All serious Christians share an insatiable desire to know it (and our Lord) better throughout our lives. The fact of your site is proof that you understand that humble spirits will seek to know more than they can understand by reading the Word. Your faith is certain? Then read the books mentioned and then hold up your disdain as a trophy built on reason not imagined fallacy. DARE

[CAnswersTV]

You meekahel have made the common error in logic that many in religion make which is BEGGING THE QUESTION (making an assertion that needs to be proven yet arguing from it as if it were valid; also known as CIRCULAR REASONING). You're ASSUMING that I am ignorant of what OFFICIAL ROMAN CATHOLIC SOURCES say & then you PRESUME it will help me understand the Bible. See the debate with Robert Fastiggi (Does Romanism Preach Another Gospel Debate?). Romanism & the Pope are a lie opposed to the Bible.

[meekahel]

Yes to your questions and re Pope I have not read the equal of Pope Benedict. I strongly urge you and your readers to read his books St Paul, Jesus of Nazareth, The Apostles and The Church Fathers: there can be no doubt about his undistracted love for our Lord. I have benefitted from previous discussions with Protestants but they occurred within a spirit of generosity that I sense you are no longer able to extend. Thankyou anyway for the video.

[CAnswersTV]

@meekahel Thanks for being open enough to reply sincerely but my "spirit of generosity" has no room for false prophets (Revelation 2:2) such as the Roman "Pope" & his whole unBiblical religious structure. As you can read in Revelation chapter 2 Jesus commends His people who stand against false religion & doctrine (verse15). While you are WASTING your time reading the Pope you SHOULD be reading the BIBLE instead. The "Jesus" Benedict believes in is NOT the "Jesus" of the Bible (2 Cor. 11: 3-4).

[meekahel]

My prev comm was to Jn316 & offered as honest attempt to improve understanding, ie what Catholics believe. Re other stuff I think addressed to me: I don't know any real Catholics who believe what was said @ Christ not being the Way but yeh it's sad that for many years Cath teachers have given their own watered-down version of the Bible but often these are not Catholic/not practising & certainly not adhering to Cath Catechism eg Adam and Eve were real people not just symbolic.

[CAnswersTV]

Unfortunately for you meekahel you wondered onto our Youtube page whether you were talking to "Jn316" or not. The fact is, you're here, so your comments must be dealt with. Are you saying that "real Catholics" do not believe that Jesus Christ is NOT the only way to be saved from the coming wrath of God? Are you saying that "real Catholics" do not believe that man & universe evolved over billions of years, etc.? That you don't "know any"? Have you ever heard of a man in Rome called the Pope?

[fritigoerd]

you foolish people christianity is a lie , you stole it from judaism , and well they themselves plagiarized it from egiptians... not to mention that the bible has been edited and maimed countless times even before it was a "genuine" religion , so the holy book you hold so dear is not the original , so how can you even say that you hold the absolute truth of which version of the faith is the one.

[CAnswersTV]

fritigoerd it's obvious that you haven't studied how the Bible came about, or the history & manuscript evidence for the Bible which you hold in such low regard. The only "lie" being told here is by you. Alas, I could tell you to go to our website BIBLEQUERY ORG & have answers to the kind of worthless nonsense you're bringing up or to go to our other website HISTORYCART COM for a complete HISTORICAL analysis that will prove you wrong but it won't matter to you anyway! You'll die in your sins!

[meekahel]

John3..You may achieve better uns/tanding of Cath perspective if you consider that the Bible is assumed to be the ultimate Catholic doctrine and work from there. In this light you will see that referencing by a Cath to the Bible is not viewed as a struggle to use an external source that he/she is unfamiliar with but rather that it is the proper place to seek commonality. All Church doctrine directly refers to the Bible & indirectly thru those who have disseminated its message pre/post production

[CAnswersTV]

meekahel you have totally missed the point by your show of verbose blatherskite. Roman Catholicism is NOT Biblical Christianity, it is a COUNTERFEIT RELIGIOUS SYSTEM PRETENDING TO BE CHRISTIANITY (wolf in sheep's clothing, Matthew 7:15). Romanism teaches that Jesus is not the only way to heaven, Christianity is not the only faith, Salvation is by FAITH AND WORKS, Man & universe evolved over billions of years from primary substances, The Bible contains errors, fiction & myth, & many other lies.

[johnthreesixteen316]

What I find most interesting about catholics is that they claim the RCC has the authority and not the Bible. Yet, when you ask them how they can prove the RCC has the authority, they quote the Bible! Circle reasoning. You can't have it both ways.

[ComeHomeCatholics]

Wow, what a great debate! About 30 seconds of a selected quote isn't quite what I would call a debate. That was disappointing.

[CAnswersTV]

ComeHomeCatholics are you serious? How much of a 1 hour debate do you think you can cram into a 10 minute Youtube limitation video? This is only part 1 of 5 parts of this debate on Youtube. Intros usually take up most of the time. If you want to see the entire debate just go to either GOOGLE VIDEO or YAHOO VIDEO (search LARRY WESSELS once on their respective homepages) & look for the two one hour versions of the debate. Since Youtube limits our time we're stuck, get a life, go GOOGLE VIDEO

[CAnswersTV]

AtomicMonster454 you're making a big deal out of Peter being the Rock not because your argument here actually holds any water (for a thorough refutation, go to Vimeo Video & once on their homepage search LARRY WESSELS, then look for the 4 hour "Boston College Debate on the Pope: Was Peter the First Vicar of Christ?"), but that you're desperate to hold on to your Romanism for your salvation rather than a simple faith & trust in the Lord Jesus Christ ALONE. You've substituted Rome for Christ!

[CAnswersTV]

This bologna by "AtomicMonster454" is typical of brainwashed Romanists who have not read the Bible for themselves. Romanists are taught that Peter is a pope but if someone simply reads the Bible without preconceived ideas based on Romanist pretexts then they will never get the notion that Peter was some kind of "pope." We have dealt with this phony Matthew 16 argument a hundred times on our radio & television shows (check out GOOGLE VIDEO, search LARRY WESSELS on their homepage & see videos).

[johnthreesixteen316]

@AtomicMonster454 Christ built the church on Himself, not Peter.

[johnthreesixteen316]

The catholic church uses its own doctrine to judge the Bible instead of using the Bible to judge the catholic doctrine.

[CAnswersTV]

Well said "johthreesixteen316." By using the Bible alone as our standard between truth & error it will naturally put us at odds with all those religionists out there who refuse to do the same. If you get a chance, go to GOOGLE VIDEO (search LARRY WESSELS once on their homepage) & look up our video with Dr James White of Alpha & Omega Ministries entitled, "Sola Scriptura: All Scripture is God-breathed." Blessings to you. 2 Timothy 3:13-17.

[Mkvine]

How do you use the Bible to judge which scriptures belong to the Canon of the NT? Can you show me chapter and verse?

[CAnswersTV]

@Mkvine It's obvious you haven't bothered to check out our websites BIBLEQUERY COM & HISTORYCART COM. The problem with people like you is that you refuse to see the truth of a situation because you're convinced that your Romanist teachers have told you the truth & thus everyone who disagrees must be wrong. You say "show me" & I say "check out our websites" & you, no doubt, will not do so with any degree of effort (I get the same thing from blind Muslims concerning our MUSLIMHOPE COM website).

[Mkvine]

I wasn't aware of your websites, but I did check them out. In the HistoryCart website, I could not find any bible reference telling me how we know which books belong to the NT. For BibleQuery, there was the "dot com" version and the "dot org" version. I check both, and the only information I found was a question which said "In the NT, how do we know the books we have are the correct ones?" Can you guess what their answer was? They cited 3 CHURCH FATHERS.

[CAnswersTV]

"Mkvine" has given me the same answer as several Muslims have. In fact, many of them have said they checked out our websites AFTER I have told them about them yet within minutes in some cases they respond on Youtube that they checked the sites & they were "rubbish." It's obvious they never seriously looked at our sites due to preconceived ideas. You're like the Muslims! You are refuted Biblically by 2 Peter 3:16 which says the SCRIPTURES are already there even while Peter & Paul are ALIVE!

[waldoman7]

@johnthreesixteen316 well considering the fact that if taken literally the bible makes absolutely no sense i'd say that makes them slightly more reasonable than you.

[CAnswersTV]

@waldoman7 Your statement makes "absolutely no sense" & is the typical logical fallacy that comes from atheists & their ilk. Here in one brief statement you make an assinine comment that commits the logical fallacies of BEGGING THE QUESTION (circular reasoning), EQUIVOCATION (multiple meanings), FALLACY OF OPPOSITION (guilt by association). An idiot can accomplish the same reasoning as you on a logical plane. Dementia might possibly be a problem for you as you age, try exercising your brain.

[waldoman7]

wow you took a lot of time/words to write "you're a stupid meany doo-doo head" there. don't use 23 10 dollar words when a single 1 dollar word will suffice, and try making some points that people might care about.

and i'm FAR from an atheist

[CAnswersTV]

"waldoman" has made it clear that he doesn't appreciate EDUCATED LANGUAGE but prefers lingo like "stupid" & "doo-doo head." Are you trying to impress readers with your "great learning"? Are you trying to win your argument by stating that ignorance is the best policy? All you have accomplished is that you have proven my point - your comments are assinine. The Bible makes perfect sense to people who know how to use their brains in a logical manner. However in your case, stick to dime novels.

[ONLYthroughTHECROSS]

Take that up with GOD dude..... His ways are NOT our ways..... God's Bk is a Supernatural Book you can ONLY understanding it when you become born-again & have God's Spirit in the

1 Cor 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned"

The CARNAL mind does everything that GOD hates. If you do not follow God's Rules you are in disobedience and are on the way to hell.

[ATXLATIN]

my God are you both that stupid?

[CAnswersTV]

@ATXLATIN Here once again you have violated one of the ten commandments, just as you did on the other video, namely Exodus 20:7, "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." The only stupidity that is being displayed is by you. We've already documented in your other comment on the other video (#1) that you violated Biblical commands with everything you said. Your own Romanist cult would condemn you! Repent!

[mjmenjivar]

reading the Bible, Jesus said to Simon, "now you are CHEPAS (PETER, PETROS) and upon this CHEPAS (PETER, PETRA) I will build my Church" Jesus said it, not a pope, no the Church. I believe in Jesus. Those Jesus words have to make I least think for a moment, JESUS CHANGE SIMON NAME, FROM SIMON TO CHEPAS (ROCK) WHY ?????

[CAnswersTV]

mjmenjivar you're incorrect in your review of Matthew 16:18. Jesus calls Peter here what He said he would be called in John 1:42. Peter (PETROS) is simply the Greek word for CEPHAS (Aramaic). Greek rendering:  "Thou art Peter (a stone) & on rock (stone of this type) I will build My church.." Christ is the ROCK not Peter & therefore the pope doctrine is false; see Matt. 7:24-25, 1 Peter 2:4-6, 1 Cor. 10:4, 3:10-11, Eph. 2:19-20, etc. Go to YAHOO VIDEO (search LARRY WESSELS) see Pope show.

[mjmenjivar]

1.) 99% of scholars agreed jesus spoke Aramic. CHEPAS means Rock.

2.) Jesus is the ROCK,, AMEN to that, and because I believe that, I accept His decition of makin Peter also a roc for his Church.

3.) You said: ""Thou art Peter (a stone) & on rock (stone of this type) I will build My church" U should notice you didnt write "..and upon THIS" you change the meaning of Jesus satatement to "BUT upon a rock," like if Jesus is simple giving a diference, ANY scholar desagrees with you

[CAnswersTV]

mjmenjivar you are incorrect on point 1, you have commited the logical fallacy of HASTY GENERALIZATION (insufficient evidence). Point 2 is in agreement to what I said before with the exception that Peter is not the ROCK that Jesus is. Pt 3 is another logical fallacy by you called GROSS GENERALIZATION. Note that when Jesus speaks to Peter He does so in the second person; that is, direct address. Yet, the term "this rock" is in the third person making a distinction between Peter & the ROCK.

@mjmenjivar - kudos for you. Catholics have the luxury of being backed academic scholars, historians, and you know...logic. keep it up brother.

People should check out catholic.com. They have good answers to defend our faith against these types of accusations.

[CAnswersTV]

@damnitjerry Your comment is a complete misrepresentation of the facts. Now if you clarify your comment with wording such as "backed liberal & universalistic scholars, historians ..." then you might be more accurate. Your comment in itself is a logical fallacy known as a HASTY GENERALIZATION & is completely invalid. Particularly since Pope Paul VI (who was a known homosexual, see Randy Engel's book, THE RITE OF SODOMY ) & Vatican 2 Romanism has taught universalism & evolution of apes to men.

[mjmenjivar]

4.) Why Jesus CHANGED the name of SIMON to KHEPAS in John 1:42 ?? Why Jesus named him KHEPAS? and, as you know, KHEPAS means ROCK (do you desagree that KHEPAS means rock ?

tell me what is your "teologycal" view of Jesus naming "KHEPAS" to Simon ?.. Or this is not important for you ? Jesus is the second person of the Trinity my friend, Why Jesus changed Simon name ? Why it is written in the Bible ?

[CAnswersTV]

mjmenjivar, you're showing your ignorance of the Biblical text, which is understandable since you trust the Roman Catholic Church for your salvation rather than Jesus Christ ALONE. You're desperately trying to make Peter the POPE so you can be saved by Rome rather than Christ. Anyway, you're wrong by assuming Aramaic overthrows the Greek text, you're wrong because Jesus is speaking TO Peter about the ROCK, & you're wrong because the text differentiates between Peter & the rock: form & person.

[CAnswersTV]

"Necas00" I'm not sure I would go to some of the extreme accusations you have made here but one thing is for certain, Roman Catholicism is not Biblical Christianity & is certainly a counterfeit of true Christianity. You don't even need a King James bible to refute it, you can refute Romanism with a Catholic bible like I did in a debate with two priests. Check out our just posted Youtube shows "Roman Catholic Mysticism, Paganism & Idolatry" & "20 Ways Religious Cults Misread the Bible."

[RainhadoCanto4]

Haven't yet heard the video, yet. I first wanted to read your editorial, and am dismayed that one such as you would misrepresent that which is written in His Word.

You state that "Galatians 1:6-9 curses those who believe in a different gospel." It, clearly, does not!

Galatians 1:8-9 (King James Version)

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

[RainhadoCanto4]

9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Accursed is he who dares contradict, IMPOSE, any other teaching, different from that which is clearly told in the Gospels, to the already-believers & followers of the True Gospel.

This is exactly what those of other cults, as the RC Church, purpose themselves to doing. We cannot criticize or accuse of deceit others if we ourselves do not observe what we preach!

[CAnswersTV]

"RainhadoCanto4" do you "worship" the King James Bible as sort of a little god? King James Onlyism is another cultic movement that only began back in 1930 with Benjamin Wilkinson who was popularized by JJ Ray in 1955, then followed by David Otis Fuller in 1975 & the rest of them (like Ruckman). Have you ever heard of Greek & Hebrew? Go to our website BIBLEQUERY ORG & click on the EXPERIENCE box, then scroll down to our newsletter entitled "The Unlearned Men, True Genealogy ... KJV Onlyism."

[RainhadoCanto4]

@CAnswersTV

Thank you! I had not and will not look at the video, nor ANYTHING you may have, since it is OBVIOUS representing the truth is not your way! You, now I can see, have an agenda of disseminating hate!

Galatians 5:9 A little leaven... leaveneth the whole lump.

I would not trust ANYTHING you have to say, for you are like the leaven of which Paul speaks, which CONTAMINATES AND MAKES PUTRID the rest!

[CAnswersTV]

"RainhadoCanto4" you've spoken like a true cultist & I've dealt with plenty of them over the decades (Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Christian Scientists, Campbellites, Hindus, Muslims - received 2 death threats from them within the last month- New Agers, Moonies, etc.). Your reaction does not deal with the facts I brought up but you, just as other cultists, ignore the evidence against your unBiblical position & simply resort to name calling & threats. You have made a demi-god out of your KJV.

[CAnswersTV]

It's obvious "RainhadoCanto4" that you are a King James Onlyite who has been brainwashed by either Peter Ruckman, Gail Riplinger, Texe Marrs or some other King James Only cultist. We have dealt with KJV cultists such as yourself for over 20 years & we have plenty of information available to refute your false assumptions about what is or is not the Word of God. The King James is just another translation into English, get it? See our 2 hour video entitled "The Translation Issue" on YAHOO VIDEO.

[dubvishun]

vatican spawned calvinism ..stop the blind ignorant educated debating while each side is in error...both reads their own theology into scripture.. prove the ears work...thesinmuststop followed up with org ..take the time if youre truely hungry for truth ..& take your error of predestination up with mike desario...go ahead...dont die in that belief ...u will not go to heaven..wake up. Now, this could very well be the last time some sorta reachout is thrown yer way...dont go 2 hell larry.

[CAnswersTV]

dubvishun it's obvious that you're a Biblically ignorant person. Let us educate you in what the Bible says,"According as He hath chosen us in Him before te foundation of the world, that we should be holy & without blame before Him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will ... being predestinated according to His purpose of Him Who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will" (Ephesians 1:4-11).

[maluman385]

ebolingUtube, if you cant wrap your mind around of how specific 1 Timothy 2:5 is (for there is ONE MEDIATOR, the man JESUS CHRIST) then your completely brainwashed by the catholic organization. the death of Christ is enough for the forgiveness of sin; no where does it say in the bible that Christ needed help from a sinner. I asked you to give me one reference from the bible on how Mary is a mediator, and completely failed in addressing it.

[maluman385]

1 timothy 2:5 "For there is one God and ONE MEDIATOR between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" How are you going to argue Mary is a mediator when the bible clearly says there is only ONE mediator? I don't care if your church told you that, bible says: "..TRADITIONS of MEN are rudiments of the world, and NOT AFTER CHRIST." ~ Col 2:8 It all boils down to if your with the Catholics or Gods word. "For many are invited, but few are chosen." ~ Matthew 22:14

[maluman385]

As i said previously, just cause she's the mother of God doesn't give her extra abilities. Here, lemme give you the definitions of a medatrix..."a woman who is a mediator ", "Mediatrix in Roman Catholic Mariology refers to the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary as a mediator in the salvation process. It is a separate concept from Co-Redemptrix.", "A female mediator" Yes, no way does her being the mother obscure her of anything, but it doesn't give her any super abilities ether.

[maluman385]

If you think that mary is the mediator your going against Gods word in 1 timothy 2:5. Simple lie and yet its taking you forever to find a verse that says otherwise. You talk like, just cause she's the mother of God makes us more holier than us. She is a sinner like you and i. Romans 3: 23 says "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." how can you be Christian first when you go against scripture?

[maluman385]

the bible says there is only one mediator..so whats the problem with you guys thinking she's a mediator even if the bible doesn't? you tell me!.. Matt 16:16-20 doesn't even talk about forgiveness of sin. Mark 2:7 ~ "who can forgive sin but God only?" Christ died on the cross for our sins to be forgiven, not the church LOL! i don't care what human laws you guys have, the word of God (bible) cannot be negated by any human laws or traditions.

[CAnswersTV]

I am tired of dealing with "ebolingUtube" because he is not "born again" by the Spirit (John 3:3-8) based on what he says & does (Matthew 7:6, 15-20) which leads to his 1 Corinthians 2:14 spiritual problems. Others are welcome to go to Yahoo Video (search Larry Wessels) & see our long version videos on Mary ("Roman Catholicism Series #6: Doctrine of the Virgin Mary-Rank Idolatry"; "The Idolatry of Mary Worship."). Soon we will have a theological debate with a Romanist on Yahoo Video as well.

[CAnswersTV]

"ebolingUtube" I thought you already said your farewells on a comment on another one of our Romanism videos. Why are you still making comments & hanging around our videos? You are in the category of Titus 3:10 which says, "A man that is an heretick after the first & second admonition reject." You refuse to check the Biblical documentation we have provided so please go away & get saved. Others are invited to go to Yahoo Video (search Larry Wessels) & see our long version videos on Romanism.

[maluman385]

I never said you guys worship Mary. All i said was you guys think of her as a mediatrix, or mediator between Christ and us. you even said yourself mary isn't a mediator. the bible never gives us that much credibility to mary. My question... why give her the title of mediatrix when the bible said there is only ONE mediator, Christ. did you read Catechism #1448? its a shocker on how they claim that the authority of forgiveness of sin lies in the church when there is no biblical proof supporting it

[maluman385]

Ok ebolingUtube... show me in the bible where it talks about the catholic church LOL! (its not in the bible)

LOL!...i don't just listen to "people who hate the church" i do my own research...it clearly says in Catechism #969 that mary is the mediator. According to you, you proved your own church wrong. you guys (Catholics) also believe that priests and the church and forgive sin. (Catechism #1448) sorry for being a jerk earlier.

[maluman385]

lol "ebolingUtube", the bible isn't a Flawed opinion. Not our fault you don't know much about the bible. Catholicism isn't Christian :)

[maluman385]

Ok Mr. Smarty Pants...EbolingUtube,,

1. where in the bible does it say catholics are. (catholisicm isn't mentioned anywhere in the bible)

2. Catholics call themselves christian but they lack biblical understanding. You guys bow down to statues and think that mary is the mediator between us and christ when bible bible says other wise. its not about dumbing down other religions...its just exposing you guys as the hypocrites ya'll are

the catechism is full of B.S...its all lies.

[CAnswersTV]

"ebolingUtube" we've already informed you that we have posted a 16 hour video series on YAHOO VIDEO & GOOGLE VIDEO (search Larry Wessels on their respective homepages) dealing with the anti-Biblical nature of Romanist theology. You'll get 16 hours of Bible refutations. Besides this we are continuing to load more shows as well (check out the videos, "The Idolatry of Mary Worship" or "The Inquisition" with former Catholic priest Richard Bennett). The Bible determines which religions are false.

[CAnswersTV]

"ebolingUtube" you are wrong in saying Larry Wessels is a hypocrite because of your "bashing" claim. Wessels is not "bashing Catholics" but rather Roman Catholic theology which is clearly anti-Biblical ("another Gospel" according to Galatians 1:6-9 & therefore to be condemned). Catholics themselves may be sincere people but they are being led to perdition by Romanist false doctrine. Just because someone is sincerely wrong does not excuse them before a righteous & holy God. Truth matters.

[CAnswersTV]

MrJohnnySharp apparently you think the host is confused predicated on reading Catholic teachings on the subject. All the guy is doing is reading the book, what's confusing is Catholic teaching which you say are "intelligent." You're entitled to your opinion but it is based on pure bias without the benefit of checking your conclusions against the clear teachings of the Bible. Church history & the Bible make it clear that Romanism is "another Gospel" (Galatians 1:6-9). See our other shows.

[MrJohnnySharp]

I like how the guy looked so confused when the host was reading from the Catholic book. He just can't understand the intelligence of the Church leaders, and theologians.

This whole video does not disprove Catholicism one bit, in fact, after watching, and listening, and then hearing the bishop speak, I'd say it does a good job showing the devotion, and love, and intelligence of the Catholic Church as Christ would have commanded.
