You seem to suffer from some sort of mental instability. May I suggest Christ as the greatest remedy. It is His life and atonement alone that can make you alive. It is His righteousnes alone that can justify you before a Holy God. I enjoy debate. I have a few live ones online if you look for them.
You have failed to deal with not only your own topic, but any of my questions. Your ranting is nothing more than a chained man batting at his cell walls.
And one last thing, Jesus .... Since that book called the Bible was canonized by the Catholic Church, supposedly by the help of the Holy Ghost, you better CONsult the Bible to make sure that the SCRIPTURE ALONE names each and every book that Almighty God wants in the canon of Scripture. Jesus, since Scripture Alone and Eternal Security are also correct, please show me in the bible, which was canonized by apostates and heretics, where it says these things? I know, Jesus, you are your own pope :0
Hmm..sarcasm is ill-fitted when you are skirting issues.. You won't deal with James, so how 'bout that church authority you spoke of? Did you ever wonder about how only cults say that they and they alone have the ability to interpret Scripture? Jehovah's Witness, Mormons, and Christian Science; Along with Romanist and Orthodox, who's to say who to believe?!!
Nope, I will take Scripture Alone as my final authority. No man has authority above God's Word.
@Diamonddusted and opsvideo: You two are making the same mistake that Todd Friel is making. Just hearing what the catholic church teaches without even trying to understand why is being disengenous. Catholics do not worship Mary. The fact that you don't even know that says something. Where did you get that bible that you put so much faith in? Answer: The Catholic Church. Just because Friel sounds like he knows what he's talking about doesn't mean he does. Please do some simple investigating.
We have nothing in common with catholics were it really counts. Jesus is the first born heir, and it is the firstborn that inheretseverything. Not him and his mother, sounds like Isis worship to me hiding under the banner of Christianity.
Mr. Friel likes to quote what the Catholic church teaches in his opinion yet he never invites on his show a good catholic apologist who might explain to him and his listeners why the church teaches what it teaches. On the surface many things in the catechism and the bible for that matter can be hard to understand. It would seem only fair to his listeners to hear the other side. Hmmmm? Maybe he doesn't want his listeners to hear the other side? C,mon Mr Friel. Show some courage.
Thank you Todd Friel for speaking the truth when it comes to roman catholicism which is not the christian faith which Christ founded. Thank you OldPathPreachingTV for posting this video up. Todd clearly highlighted the vast difference of the roman catholic faith against biblical faith.
Keep fighting...because fighting the Church brings you one step closer to swimming the Tiber. I once fought "against the goads" like you and Saul of Tarsus. Put your faith in God and I look forward to welcoming you home to Rome.
"I pray that they may be one even as you and I are one." Then, he dies, rises, and goes to heaven. "Wow! You couldn't even grant me my dying wish!"
Hello! Could christians please stop playing "us versus them" with each other?! On second thought, keep doing it. Then the world will be rid of you, "A house divided . . . ."
@FisherofMen75 You error in your Private interpretation of Scripture. Will you also tell St. Paul he is wrong in Galatians 5, 6. 13-15? And John 6 is symbolic, I suppose? You have hundreds of Eucharistic Miracles and you TELL JESUS WHAT HE SAID AND WHAT HE MEANT BECAUSE YOU "Love him" ....... You are just another heretic Protestant with no life within his soul if you reject what Jesus taught. You are anti-christ and you COMPLETELY reject what the Apostles believed and taught. You win :(
Friend, why do you attack me? I, like Jude, will contend for the faith. I will shoot the wolves and expose the works of darkness. How do we do this? By rightly dividing the Word of God and lovingly speaking against false doctrine. I asked you about James 2 which yourself brought up! You must reconcile your interpretation of James with the rest of Scripture which clearly says we are JUSTIFIED BY FAITH ALONE.
James is speaking horizontally. Pauls speaks vertical justification.
This man would do well to have Catholic beliefs explained to him by Catholics. His understanding of the Catechism lacks the necessary nuances. Take this one point: He says that the Catechism says that he's going to Hell, but the Catechism doesn't say that. It says that salvation comes to us through the Church, and that people may be outside of the visible bounds of the Church but still imperfectly part of it. He's looking for a fight, not to understand. May God bless him and lead him to Truth.
@opivy07 The Church is the body of Christ. It is the bride of Christ. All who are united with Christ are also united with the Church. Jesus built this Church upon Peter (Mt 16:18-19), and said that it would never be overpowered. We can understand from the New Testament and the writings of the Christians in the first few centuries that this Church has a visible structure of bishops, priests, and deacons, and that they looked to the successor of Peter in a unique way. (continued)
@opivy07 (cont) It is through this Church that Christ normatively distributes his grace, primarily through the sacraments. Of course it is also the Church's role to proclaim the gospel to all nations (Mt 28) in order to expand the kingdom of God, but this is certainly not the only way that salvation comes through the Church. Does this help?
if salvation is through a Person, then the Christian God is the true only God there is but He's a Person,and hence transcends organization and intellect.You can never get to a person through doctrines&ideas but through a continiuous relationship.If this is true,then all Catholic-Protestant debates are, am not gonna say futile,but secondary and in essence necessary but not essential.God is present in both denomination,but He's not reduced to them.I was agnostic&lately I became a believer in Jesus
I have a question for Catholics&Protestants alike: Is salvation through the Catholic Church or Protestantism,OR is it through the Person of Jesus?If salvation is through the Church,whether Catholic or Protestant,then let me tell you that ur god is too small a god,to be so confined to the limits of an "organization",reduced to the findings of intellect which result in doctrines.if so,then, I, a person, which clearly cannot be contained by an organization or intellect,am greater than ur god.BUT
It's amazing the lengths that "christians" will go to, to defame and denigrate Catholicism.
Tell you what, put back in the 7 books you threw out, the 113 verses of Daniel you threw out and the 564 word substitutions along with Tyndale and Luther's redacting...and we can talk.
I cannot stand it when Protestants try to convince everyone that somehow they are the "real" Christians and we Catholics are heretics when it was they who broke from the Church. Unlike them we actually have a direct link to Christ in that his disciple, Peter, was the first in an unbroken line of Popes. Protestantism is by its very nature a divisive force, just take a look at the sheer number of denominations they have.
yep the poor average catholic is kept like a mushroom... kept in the dark and fed... well you know... crap... the RCC is a twisted pagan religion that has created a mountain of false beleifs... it even cant deny...
the popes.. early church fathers.. well... corupt ans self seeking...
VATICAN CITY, NOV. 30, 2005 (Zenit.org).- Whoever seeks peace and the good of the community with a pure conscience, and keeps alive the desire for the transcendent, will be saved even if he lacks biblical faith, says Benedict XVI.
The Pope made this affirmation today at the general audience, commenting on a meditation written by St. Augustine (354-430).
@For3nity Protestants want to exclude Catholics as Christians because they know full well they were the first ones. There's only 3 types of Christianity: 1. Catholics 2. Orthodox 3. Protestants.
@Naturalhit AMEN. Catholics are True Christians, because we have His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity thru the Eucharist, we have His Mother Mary as our Mother because He gave her to us from the cross, we have His best friends (the Saints) in heaven as our Brothers and Sisters that we love, we imitate Him to always carry our cross and crucify our flesh as He commanded...we do not only believe in Him, but we prove we believe in Him by obeying all His commandments.
@For3nity You mean you obey the 2nd Commandment which is removed out of the catechism? That's why the 10th is split into 2 separate Commandments to make 10 total.
@filoIII Pls open the following link and try to see why the Catholic Church did that. ==> htt p://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Ten_Commandments (remove all spaces)
@For3nity Nothing came up, but I know why the cult of the dead woman removed the 2nd Commandment--it is against their idol worship of statues, etc. They kiss the feet of statues so much that the feet become smooth. Those are graven images they bow down to, but Ex 20 says not to do that. Nothing new here w/ the catholic cult.
@filoIII The 2nd commandment is the same with the 1st commandment, which is not to have other God. The graven images was not other God if you don't worship them as your God. We Catholics worship the Holy Trinity...our God, and your God if you are a Christian. The Catholic Church was the first Christian Church rooted to the Apostles (Apostolic Church). All other non-catholic christian churches started and founded by man the earliest in 1517 (by Martin Luther), whereas the CC was founded by Jesus.
@For3nity The catholic cult was founded by Jesus huh? I suggest you go back to 325 a.d. and Constantine's melding of Christianity, which had been around for 300 yrs, and his pagan sun worship. Ever wonder why there's sooooo many sun objects in the catholic religion, such as the sun burst monstronce? I'll refer you back to Constantine and what he melded together.
@filoIII Wherever the bishop appears, there let the people be; as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not lawful to baptize or give communion without the consent of the bishop. On the other hand, whatever has his approval is pleasing to God. Thus, whatever is done will be safe and valid. — St. Ignatius of Antioch, the third Bishop of Antioch, and was a student of John the Apostle. (Letter to the Smyrnaeans 8, J.R. Willis translation)
@filoIII Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God. . . . 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 that Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes. — St. Ignatius of Antioch.
@For3nity Catholics are NOT Christians. I was a catholic so I know it very well. The bible does not say Mary is our mother (where does it say that), Catholics idolize the pope(a man), and Catholics put on pedestals everybody but the ONLY one who deserves it... CHRIST AND CHRIST ALONE! Catholicism is a idolatrous religion. I was in it and praise JESUS i am no longer. So I know it very well. It's twisted and you need to come out of it.
@For3nity listen, no thanks. "Scripture Catholic .com" I can already see where this is going. Let's just say we disagree on this huh? God Bless you too.
@kingdomanointed Why? Are you so afraid to find the truth? Read that first, then come judge His Church based on that, if you understand what you read....which I doubt it the same you misinterpreted the verses in the Catholic Book (the Bible).
Saint Fulgentius (died A.D. 533): "Most firmly hold and never doubt that not only all pagans, but also all Jews, all heretics, and all schismatics who finish this life outside of the Catholic Church, will go into the eternal fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels." (To Peter on the Faith)
To know the faith pls also read the Catechism of the Catholic Church here ww w.usccb. org/beliefs-and-teachings/what-we-believe/ ==> remove all spaces
@For3nity So are you saying that only Catholics go to heaven? I don't have to read about this religion, I was in it so I know first hand. Needless to say, I'm out of it now praise the Lord. I ask for the word of the Lord and you give me the quote of a man... ya see what I'm saying? Idolatrous.
@kingdomanointed And I am not listening to a mere man you...but to the Church Christ founded. If you read your bible (oop OUR bible), you will know Christ said those who hear you (His Church / the Apostles / Catholic Bishops), hear Me. So why listening to manmade church if you have the Apostolic Church who has been teaching the true Gospel since 2000 yrs ago? When was your church founded? by which mere man? Or by you?
@For3nity Where does it say that Christ started the "Catholic church"? Do you not know that all believers are the "church" according to scripture? My friend, we as believers listen to the Holy Spirit who teaches us all things. Yes, we listen those who teach us within the church but the end all be all knowledge comes from the Lord, not a man. Ans when was my church founded? I don't have a church only Christ has a church and what difference does it make how old the ministry I attend is?
@kingdomanointed Why don't you read Rome Sweet Home by Scott and Kimberly Hahn....or just read his short testimony here ww w.catholiceducation. org/articles/apologetics/ap0088. html ==> remove all spaces.
Hhm..all the bright non/anti-catholics are coming home to Christ founded Church, and you left her? C'mon. Wake up.
@kingdomanointed That's the belief of the Church Fathers....no salvation outside the Catholic Church...but that if you know who belong to the Catholic Church. Read the CCC. I gave you the site.
@For3nity Oh geez! So even though I am born again, sanctified by the Holy Spirit, justified by the Blood of Christ and fully devoted my life and soul to him, yet I am NOT Catholic, I'm not going to heaven? Where does it say that in the Bible?
@kingdomanointed Because you don't even know what born again means. Because you don't even know what to believe in Jesus means. How come you are going to heaven if you don't have any idea of what you are believing and what you are doing. That's why you need to return home to the Catholic Church if you are serious with your salvation.
@For3nity We can go on and on and I gotta get to work so...I think you are lost my friend. Jesus came to reconcile humanity to the Father not the Catholic Church. Col 1:19-20For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him,and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. We belong to Jesus not the Catholic Church. But anyway, I am secure in my faith so... have a blessed day.
@kingdomanointed You may think you know Him....but what really matters is make sure He knows you. And it's only thru His Church you will really know Him, and He will know you. Come visit Him in the Eucharist and partake of His body and blood, and He will be in you and He will give you life and will raise you up on the last day (John 6:53-58). Have you read Mat 7:22-23?
@For3nity Yes my friend I have read that scrip many times what's your point? This faith is all about Jesus not any denomination. The Catholic church has not given you: everlasting life forgiveness of sins grace the blood power gifts access to the Father love etc JESUS gives you all these things, not the priests not the pope. John6:47I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life. I am the bread of life. Jesus said this HE is our Lord not the church
@kingdomanointed Who do you think taught the first time all that you have been saying to us so far? It's the Catholic Church. So it's strange why you keep telling us things that we know and has been the teaching of the Catholic Church. You are to eat Jesus' body and blood in the Eucharist for you to have life. Not until then will you be alive in Christ (John6:53). I ask you to read Mat 7:22-23 to know that it's very important to make sure Jesus knows you, regardless you think you know Him.
@For3nity Who is your Lord the Catholic Church or Jesus. All you talk about is the church. Church is NOT your Lord, well, it is YOUR Lord but it shouldn't be. First, Jesus taught about these things first b/c He taught about the Kingdom which entails the thing I say. Second, none of the teachers of the NC said they belonged to a denomination in fact they spoke against RELIGION and promoted faith in CHRIST not a church. Thirdly, the Bible says salvation (life) comes thru faith alone
@kingdomanointed The bible contradicts you. The bible says the CHURCH is the pillar and foundation of TRUTH (1Tim3:15). And no other CHURCH back then, but the Catholic Church, the Church Jesus founded on St.Peter.
@For3nity Ephe 2 tells us our eternal life is by faith thru grace not communion my friend. You are soo wrong and what you are saying is NOT what the Word says. Read the Bible.
@kingdomanointed As I said you don't know what you believe. You believe in heretical teaching that will only bring you to your own destruction as warned by St. Peter. Pls read ww w. sripturecatholic. com ==> (remove all spaces) and read on the chapter of JUSTIFICATION.
@For3nity One more thing, I do eat of His body and drink of His blood regularly. Who said I didn't. Soooo, if that is what you think it takes to have life, I HAVE IT!
@kingdomanointed So do you partake of the Eucharist regularly? Jesus said this IS my body, EAT. He didn't say this symbolizes my body. You again prove yourself you cannot even believe in what Jesus said or commanded, the same with His disciples who didn't believe Him when He said they wrere to eat His body and drink His blood for them to have life (John 6:66, the number of the beast - 666). They said it's a hard saying, so they didn't believe and left Jesus.
@For3nity God saves those who believe in Him and put their faith in Him, read the Gospels. He clearly says these things. He does NOT say, those who belong to the Catholic Church will be saved. Those who believe...it's all throughout the NT. The OT believers were not of any denomination yet they were believers of God. When did it become a "YOU MUST BE CATHOLIC" to know the Lord thing? The OT believers know God before the Catholic church. Think about it. When did the criteria change?
@kingdomanointed That's my point.When you attack His Church and His teachings that have been taught by His Church for almost 2000 yrs,you don't believe in Him; and that means you are not saved.To believe in Jesus is to obey Him througout your life, not once saved always saved.That's why I also asked you to read Mat 7:22-23.There you will learn it's not enough to only call Him LordLord,but you have to obey Him throughout your life by leaving your sinful life and do good works(strive for holiness)
@kingdomanointed As I posted earlier, the CHURCH is the pillar and foundation of TRUTH, and Catholicism is the Fullness of Christianity who teaches us the true and full faith in Christ for us to be saved, because when you have wrong faith or twisted bible understanding or following heretical teaching, the words of God might become the words of Satan that will deceive you and lead you to your own destruction as warned by St.Peter in 2Peter 3:16.
@For3nity fine whatever! Keep worshiping the Catholic church instead of Christ. Keep asking a priests to forgive your sins even though he needs saving form the Lord himself, keep praying to Mary even though she didn't die for you, keep NOT reading the bible for yourself b/c "the church" tells u what to believe, keep NOT being taught by the Holy Spirit, keep talking about the "church' instead of Jesus and so on. I done w/ this convo. for good. I hope you find freedom IN CHRIST. Good day
@kingdomanointed And that's been the lies from the anti-catholic saying we don't worship Christ, because Christ's real presence body, blood, soul and divinity has been the center of worship of the Catholics for almost 2000 yrs since the era of the Apostles. So pls stop the lie, for you will be judged by that.
@For3nity If eternal life is thru the Eucharist then all of the people who receive the gift of salvation before they ever know about partaking in communion are not really saved? Is that what Catholics believe? So the young man who I led to the Lord a few weeks ago who said yes to this awesome gift ain't saved? He won't be saved until he takes communion? I really need you to show me where it says that in the Bible.
@kingdomanointed Salvation and justification are on going process, not as the heretics believe as once saved always saved. Of course when we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are saved, but then we have to obey Him thorughout our lives, and He will strengthen us and nourish our souls thru the Eucharist and that will ensure our true salvation the time we leave this world to meet Him face to face. Read the OT what happened to the Israelites after they were SAVED from Egypt? Many were DEAD.
@kingdomanointed That's the problem, when you love the book of Roman, but have out of context interpretation of the verses as warned by St. Peter in 2Pet3:6:
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 and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
@kingdomanointed Yes...it's good you read the Church Fathers' writings. And see your self if the Church back then resembled Catholic Church or your manmade church. It was Catholic Church, with the Eucharist or Jesus real presence as the center of worship.
The NWO is a spiritual war, that's why most don't understand how to fight it. The "Father" Osiris, the Jewish Jesus son (bluebeam) and the pagan Holy Spirit are the result of humanity forgetting the Three Names of the real Trinity, Our Lady, the Mother of God, Christ (God - there is no second coming) and the Holy Ghost, the Father of the Trinity. It's taken Freemasonry almost 2,000 years to pull it off, but they're almost there. Will Lucifer run out of time? FATIMAMOVMENT d o t c o m
In the year 1087 AD Pope Victor 3rd was poisoned while serving Mass its the funniest example of the false doctrine of Transubstantiation on record Pope Victor Consecrated the Chalice & the host so according to Papal dogma the bread and wine are no longer bread & wine but the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, after he consecrated the Chalice he drank it and dropped down dead POISONED so obviously the poison in the wine did not change like RCs were led to believe this religion is a hoax.
@glizag WOW!! That's an amazing stupid fabrication. The Vatican was under attack back then the antipope Clement tthe 3rd. And Pope Victor the 3rd was fell gravely ill because of HIS HEALTH, NOT DEATH and he made an appointment to have Pope Urban the 2nd to be his successor.
SO you better get your facts straight before telling another lie. You just committed a sin.
BTW.. I'm sure I look familiar to you. We've debated before.
@Naturalhit Well ~# I am just not depending on just one fact ~# Popes have said things that are blasphemous to the core & done things which are so far away from Christian teachings that there is no way you could refer to them as Christians, I dont respect Popes neither do I trust what they have to say, as far as I am concerned they are deceivers & the Vatican is just a place where false teachings are concocted I talked to so many people why should I remember you ~# lets say you dont ering a bell
@glizag But so far you haven't said anything factual.You basically fabricated things in the hope that some ignorant Catholic or some naive Protestants would buy into it. If you are a Christian then you would uphold the Christian ways instead of being proud and full of pride. What did Jesus said for us to do, be humble.Nothing you guys are doing are humble. You're worst than a Pharisees
Jesus only founded ONE CHURCH and I'm sorry to say that it's not your man-made church. Ask your Pastor that
@Naturalhit REALLY ~~ JP2 says that people can be Saved without biblical faith ~~ that is a lie, & that is heresy UNBELIEVERS will be cast into the lake of fire ~# these things are factual ~~ its also factual that this Pope must be also a bible IGNORAMAUS because its all over scripture One must have faith in Christs finished work to be Saved ~~ this moronic Pope DENIES THIS TRUTH ~~ so I would not trust your Popes with getting directions to the suipermarket never mind with things of Salvation

wix.com/servantsofchrist/truth
Click on the Prophecy page and watch the entire series with your Bible open.
Its a very clear and concise look at the word of God.
The Book of Daniel together with Revalation give very good explanations as to what the Anti-christ is. Not only with Biblical proof but Historic as well. I learned a great deal when I did not lean on my own understaning.
@greglee20 THE BIBLE SAYS IT PLAIN AS DAY. ITS NO SECRET, EVEN THE REFORMERS FIGURED IT OUT. ITS SO CLEAR AND EVIDENT . YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE BIBLE ILLITERATE NOT TO SEE IT!! HE SAID"COME OUT OF HER MY MY MY MY MY PEOPLE AND NOT RECIEVE HER PLAGUES. SEE JESUS LOVES YOU AND KNOWS YOUR BEING MISLEAD. HE GAVE YOU THE BIBLE BUT YOU FOLLOW MAN AND INSTITUTIONS.
@douglasdolly The reformers got so many things wrong, why should I trust what they claim on this particular passage? Today, you wont find many in the reformed camp who still hold this particular view anymore. Most reformed denominations have taking out the section of the Westiminster Confession about the Pope being the Anti-Christ becuase they recognize the anacronistic interpretation.
Respond to this video... this is a great truthful video.. bible is used for refuting also. preach on Todd...Iam so glad i know where im going.Praise Jesus only!! wooo hhooo I love catholics and i will not stop showing them the truth of the scripture.
@dis00612 Oh there is undeniadble proof, its so clear right there i n the bible,, what more do you need. The catholic church is the "Whore". Idolaters, blasphemers, worlds drunk with the "wine" of her fornication. Arrayed in purple and scarlet. Sitting on seven hills. Rome was known as babylon.
I agree with this, the reformers had it right that the pope is the anti-christ which is also trying to take the place of Christ,,they say they are god on the earth and mediator between man and God what lies, they work for Beliel(satan)
just read the 3rd novena prayer where it says "In thy hands I place my eternal salvation, and to thee; I entrust my soul." These prayers are directed towards Mary. Thats what we call paganism not Christianity. I was catholic for 12 years. I partook in Mary worship. I kissed mary's statue, prayed the novena prayers etc. The catholic church reads the "catechism more than the actual bible.
Random Fact: In the Vatican, JESUS is the 7th most person prayed too (behind dead saints like mary, paul etc
If Catholics are crazy than all Christians are. Is it any crazier to believe Mary earned a special place in heaven than it is to believe some Jew could walk on water and multiply fish? Or that he was born of a virgin? I mean...come on. You all are crazy.
Todd Friel, I admire you for what you do on wretched TV. I agree with your critique of many so-called Christian denominations, but in this video YOU ARE MISREPRESENTING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH!!!!! The catechism teaches that Mary is the all holy one, but later it reconfirms the message of the magnificat that Mary received salvation in ADVANCE o the paschal mystery. And the church DOES NOT teach that if your not catholic your going TO HELL!!!! You cant pick and choose your passages, read it all.
@macroburst1 Problem Jesus is the only all holy one not Mary. She too needed grace she is not to be worshipped and every time someone prays to her or any other saint is committing idolaltry for prayer is a form of worship. Jesus is saviour for he said I am the truth, the way the life not me and my mommy or me and a bunch of other people just him. no disrespect to Mary I love her but she cant save you. God bless.
@macroburst1 RCC teaches no salvation outside of the Catholic Church ~~ I would say there is no salvation within the Catholic church ~~ its a System of no hope. Friel was right.
The holy universal Church proclaims that God cannot truly be worshipped save within herself, and asserts that all they who are without her pale shall never be saved."
Pope Gregory the Great 540-604 A.D.
Salvation comes through the Church
CC 816, CC 814.
Its non sense ~~ RCC never saved one lost sinner, & never will
@greglee20 Sungenis was put in his box he really had no answers how can anyone even hope to defend such a System, since its not a bible based religion but depends more on the Pagan Roman Authorities to tell the billion what they are to believe its utter rubbish I reject Catholicism as the biggest hoax on the planet, not only that its a System of no hope unless your eyes on on phantom Purgatory if some Pope declared that black was white ## RCs would actually believe this clown in fantasy dress
@glizag It is certainly not a BIBLE ONLY religion. That type of religion was created in the reformation. The church came before the bible did. It was the Roman/Orthodox Catholic church that established the cannon. It is not accurate to claim that are not "bible based". I Don't accept that it depends on "PAGAN" Roman authorities. You are free to reject Catholicism as a hoax, although it is not. Personally I am Eastern Orthodox, I look forward to the apostolic churches reuniting again.
@greglee20 Well lets be honest ~~ all RCC claims are redirected to the Bible ~~ they base everything about their Existance from Scripture ~~ NOT TRADITION ~~ Their claim is to 3 authorities ~~ bible, Pope, Magisterium all are supposed to agree which they dont.
Lastly ~ who interpreted Matthew 16 : 18 for Roman Catholicism ~~ and gave the world Popes ~~ Guess WHO
Vatican did >> its insane rubbish ~~ anyone who believes RCC is of God needs a new Scull doctor ~~ I rest my case
@glizag Your first claim is not accurate. Like the Orthodox churches, they base their existence on history and tradition (the scriptures are part of the apostolic tradition). 2nd, Their 3 authorities are TRADITION, SCRIPTURE, and MAGISTERIUM . The Pope on his own is not an authority in the way you are using it. 3rd, a POPE is just another word for Patriarch. The EO churches have their own POPES/Patriarchs. To us he is the ROMAN Patriarch. WHo interpreted Mat 16:18 for protestants?
@greglee20 Its a play on Words ~~ let me ask you why do I need any religion ~~ since Jesus showed the Lost sinner how to get Saved ~~ what is in religion that can save anyone ????? Let me save you fingers nothing
I would not be bothered if all the false beliefs came together ~~ all would still be false ~~ Russian / Greek is as false As Roman Vatican religion ~~ neither one of these has truth ~~ if you think it has TELL ME what it is ~~ this is really funny stuff & kicking for touch ~sad rubbish
@glizag It is difficult to answer your question because protestants have a wrong understanding of what salvation is. Salvation is not just a one time event that happened in the past. St Paul tells us that salvation is past, present, and future. We have been saved at the cross, we are being saved (through participation in the sacraments/holy mysteries and in obedience of faith) and we will be saved at the second coming. These are all obtain in the life of the church which Jesus established.
@glizag The sacraments are not useless since it was Christ and his apostles who established them. Salvation is not about being eternally right with God, nor is it about being declared not guilty. Salvation is theosis. This is the problem with protestant interpretation of scripture. They read everything in terms of a legal code. Justification does not have this legal meaning. IT has an identity meaning. This is a fundamental misunderstanding of scripture by western/protestant believers.
@glizag Keep in mind, We are already accepted by God. This is what the parable of the prodigal son teaches. Salvation is not about being saved from God (as if God full of wrath towards us). Salvation is about growing in unity with the God who conquered death and sin for us. The Father was not full or wrath and vengeance toward the prodigal son. THe son was always accepted by the Father. It was the son who needed to turn his back to the Father. This is what the cross allows us to do.
@glizag humm, so let me ask you do you believe your faith somehow earns GOSs grace? Becaues we are saved by grace correct, and grace can not be earned? Is it not rather the faith of Jesus that saves us that is a gift of GODs grace? Is not the working of GODs grace necessary to be justified or do you not "Seee how a person is justifed by works and not by faith alone"?
@greglee20 Who interpreted Matthew 16 for RCs ~~ was it the Vatican? if not who Gave an Infallible interpretation of Matthew 16 :18 to Catholicism & the World ~~ any ideas ~~ since Believers dont believe that interpretation ~~ IT DOES NOT CONCERN US ~~ are you getting the bones of this conversation yet ??
@glizag The Church as been given the authority to interpret the scriptures. St Paul tells that the "CHURCH" is the pillar and foundation of the truth. Jesus told the apostles that he would guide them ("The Church" since they are the foundation of it) into all truth. Protestant have no sure grounding. How can any protestant be certain they are dividing the word of God rightly. Jesus didn't say he would guide individual groups of Christians into all truth.
@greglee20 Judas had to be replaced for the prophecy to come true, it didnt mean they all had to have successors. Why do you think heaven has 12 foundations? Catholic doctine is of devils and unbiblical teachings. Your pride and ego keeps you from the truth. Come out of her!
@douglasdolly I am not really sure what you are talking about or what specifically I said that prompted your response. Would you care to be more specific?
@macnos So you admit Catholicism is just pure rubbish ~~ very good ~~ lots more people need to come to this conclusion & get out of this false religious system
@oofahman What is actually true about Catholicism ~~ how does an RC get to heaven ~~ I'll tell you ~ go where the Pope is visiting and get a wave from him, maybe that will get a sinner into heaven.
I suggest that you look at the video Dr James White did on 33,000 protestant denominations on Youtube, and educate yourself rather than trying to drive the number up to 40,000 instead, the same source RCs use to prove lots of Proteant denominations actually lists 242 RC denominations also weird huh
From Vatican II “Lumen Gentium Chp. 62”…… Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked by the Church under the titles of Advocate, Auxiliatrix, Adjutrix, and Mediatrix. This, however, is to be so understood that it neither takes away from nor adds anything to the dignity and efficaciousness of Christ the one Mediator….. For no creature could ever be counted as equal with the Incarnate Word and Redeemer……. The Church does not hesitate to profess this subordinate role of Mary.
Much is made about the title “Co-Mediatrix” in reference to the Blessed Virgin. I agree that the prefix ‘co’ in English suggest equality, so it is a naturally misleading term in English but the Catholic Church defines its doctrine in Latin and not English. Latin for the English prefix is “cum” which means “with” and Mediatrix is the feminine noun for mediator. A better English translation is “a woman who cooperated with the Mediator”
...and I'm talkin' 'bout @MrDes....who is a warlock no less. catholics are playing black magic and that's a dirty deed to slap GOD in the face with. They'll pay. And that's enough satisfaction for me.
So then what are the true teachings of Christ, is contraception permissible? How does the Bible present that we should be forgiven of our sins? Is it ok for me to have a beer while I write this? Can I miss a service on Sunday, and not ask God for forgiveness? Should I not be in Grad School because supposedly Science and Faith do not belong together? Should I not be a Christan because I believe in evolution? Answer me these. May God Bless you Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
@MrDes1964 hey man, you aren't making much sense at all. catholics go before a priest and confess to repent, not god the father. and how is it alright to drink alcohol ever? the bible says not to even touch the stuff. you can miss service on sunday, and still be repentant and forgiven you don't need a building or anything to worship god.f your a true man of god, you'll gladly search scripture read paul's adress to Athens Ats 17:22 and on. he talks about the Unkown god. read it. Amen
@IWantToKnowChrist James 5:15,2 Cor 5:18, 2 Cor 2:10,John 20:23, Matt. 18:18. You have a misunderstanding, we confess to God at every Mass, we confess to a priest but we repent to God. Even if the priest gives us absolution but we are not repentant of our sin we are not forgiven for only God knows the secret of the heart. Please give me the scripture verse that forbids even touching alcohol?
@MrDes1964 proverbs 23 31:32 "Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, [when] it moveth itself aright.At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder." it says not to look at it. i miss quoted saying touch it. sorry. Matth 23:9 says to call no man father. Titus 1:6 says the bishop should be the husband of one wife and also does 1st Tim 3:2. it doesn't say church bishops or priets or leaders should be Celibate.
@IWantToKnowChrist You say to call no man father, so does this mean that a daughter cannot call her dad “father”? Acts 7:2 Stephen call Abraham “father”, Rom 9:10 Paul calls Isaac “father”. 1 Cor 4:14-15 Paul refers to himself as a father to the Corinthians as in a “spiritual father”. That is why we call our priest fathers because they are our spiritual father and not our heavenly Father.
@IWantToKnowChrist You say priestly celibacy is no biblical. First of all priestly celibacy is not a Catholic Dogma it is a discipline and can be changed at any time. In fact, for the Eastern Rite Catholics, married priest are the norm. In 1 Cor. 7 Paul endorses celibacy for those capable of it, the Catholic Church for the Latin Rite takes Paul’s advise.
Vatican II – Lumen Gentium 62 …… For no creature could ever be counted as equal with the Incarnate Word and Redeemer…… The Church does not hesitate to profess this subordinate role of Mary.

And one last thing, Jesus .... Since that book called the Bible was canonized by the Catholic Church, supposedly by the help of the Holy Ghost, you better CONsult the Bible to make sure that the SCRIPTURE ALONE names each and every book that Almighty God wants in the canon of Scripture. Jesus, since Scripture Alone and Eternal Security are also correct, please show me in the bible, which was canonized by apostates and heretics, where it says these things?

Mr. Friel likes to quote what the Catholic church teaches in his opinion yet he never invites on his show a good catholic apologist who might explain to him and his listeners why the church teaches what it teaches. On the surface many things in the catechism and the bible for that matter can be hard to understand. It would seem only fair to his listeners to hear the other side. Hmmmm? Maybe he doesn't want his listeners to hear the other side? C,mon Mr Friel. Show some courage.

This man would do well to have Catholic beliefs explained to him by Catholics. His understanding of the Catechism lacks the necessary nuances. Take this one point: He says that the Catechism says that he's going to Hell, but the Catechism doesn't say that. It says that salvation comes to us through the Church, and that people may be outside of the visible bounds of the Church but still imperfectly part of it. He's looking for a fight, not to understand. May God bless him and lead him to Truth.

@opivy07 The Church is the body of Christ. It is the bride of Christ. All who are united with Christ are also united with the Church. Jesus built this Church upon Peter (Mt 16:18-19), and said that it would never be overpowered. We can understand from the New Testament and the writings of the Christians in the first few centuries that this Church has a visible structure of bishops, priests, and deacons, and that they looked to the successor of Peter in a unique way. (continued)

@opivy07 (cont) It is through this Church that Christ normatively distributes his grace, primarily through the sacraments. Of course it is also the Church's role to proclaim the gospel to all nations (Mt 28) in order to expand the kingdom of God, but this is certainly not the only way that salvation comes through the Church. Does this help?

I cannot stand it when Protestants try to convince everyone that somehow they are the "real" Christians and we Catholics are heretics when it was they who broke from the Church. Unlike them we actually have a direct link to Christ in that his disciple, Peter, was the first in an unbroken line of Popes. Protestantism is by its very nature a divisive force, just take a look at the sheer number of denominations they have.

@filoIII The 2nd commandment is the same with the 1st commandment, which is not to have other God. The graven images was not other God if you don't worship them as your God. We Catholics worship the Holy Trinity...our God, and your God if you are a Christian. The Catholic Church was the first Christian Church rooted to the Apostles (Apostolic Church). All other non-catholic christian churches started and founded by man the earliest in 1517 (by Martin Luther), whereas the CC was founded by Jesus.

@filoIII Wherever the bishop appears, there let the people be; as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not lawful to baptize or give communion without the consent of the bishop. On the other hand, whatever has his approval is pleasing to God. Thus, whatever is done will be safe and valid. — St. Ignatius of Antioch, the third Bishop of Antioch, and was a student of John the Apostle. (Letter to the Smyrnaeans 8, J.R. Willis translation)

@kingdomanointed Salvation and justification are on going process, not as the heretics believe as once saved always saved. Of course when we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are saved, but then we have to obey Him thorughout our lives, and He will strengthen us and nourish our souls thru the Eucharist and that will ensure our true salvation the time we leave this world to meet Him face to face.

@kingdomanointed That's the problem, when you love the book of Roman, but have out of context interpretation of the verses as warned by St. Peter in 2Pet3:6:
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 and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

The NWO is a spiritual war, that's why most don't understand how to fight it. The "Father" Osiris, the Jewish Jesus son (bluebeam) and the pagan Holy Spirit are the result of humanity forgetting the Three Names of the real Trinity, Our Lady, the Mother of God, Christ (God - there is no second coming) and the Holy Ghost, the Father of the Trinity. It's taken Freemasonry almost 2,000 years to pull it off, but they're almost there. Will Lucifer run out of time? FATIMAMOVMENT d o t c o m

In the year 1087 AD Pope Victor 3rd was poisoned while serving Mass its the funniest example of the false doctrine of Transubstantiation on record Pope Victor Consecrated the Chalice & the host so according to Papal dogma the bread and wine are no longer bread & wine but the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, after he consecrated the Chalice he drank it and dropped down dead POISONED so obviously the poison in the wine did not change like RCs were led to believe this religion is a hoax.

@glizag WOW!! That's an amazing stupid fabrication. The Vatican was under attack back then the antipope Clement tthe 3rd. And Pope Victor the 3rd was fell gravely ill because of HIS HEALTH, NOT DEATH and he made an appointment to have Pope Urban the 2nd to be his successor.
SO you better get your facts straight before telling another lie. You just committed a sin.

just read the 3rd novena prayer where it says "In thy hands I place my eternal salvation, and to thee; I entrust my soul." These prayers are directed towards Mary. Thats what we call paganism not Christianity. I was catholic for 12 years. I partook in Mary worship. I kissed mary's statue, prayed the novena prayers etc. The catholic church reads the "catechism more than the actual bible.
Random Fact: In the Vatican, JESUS is the 7th most person prayed too (behind dead saints like mary, paul etc

And the church DOES NOT teach that if your not catholic your going TO HELL!!!! You cant pick and choose your passages, read it all.

@macroburst1 Problem Jesus is the only all holy one not Mary. She too needed grace she is not to be worshipped and every time someone prays to her or any other saint is committing idolaltry for prayer is a form of worship. Jesus is saviour for he said I am the truth, the way the life not me and my mommy or me and a bunch of other people just him. no disrespect to Mary I love her but she cant save you. God bless.

@macroburst1 RCC teaches no salvation outside of the Catholic Church ~~ I would say there is no salvation within the Catholic church ~~ its a System of no hope. Friel was right.
The holy universal Church proclaims that God cannot truly be worshipped save within herself, and asserts that all they who are without her pale shall never be saved."

@glizag It is certainly not a BIBLE ONLY religion. That type of religion was created in the reformation. The church came before the bible did. It was the Roman/Orthodox Catholic church that established the cannon. It is not accurate to claim that are not "bible based". I Don't accept that it depends on "PAGAN" Roman authorities. You are free to reject Catholicism as a hoax, although it is not. Personally I am Eastern Orthodox, I look forward to the apostolic churches reuniting again.

@glizag Your first claim is not accurate. Like the Orthodox churches, they base their existence on history and tradition (the scriptures are part of the apostolic tradition). 2nd, Their 3 authorities are TRADITION, SCRIPTURE, and MAGISTERIUM . The Pope on his own is not an authority in the way you are using it. 3rd, a POPE is just another word for Patriarch. The EO churches have their own POPES/Patriarchs. To us he is the ROMAN Patriarch. WHo interpreted Mat 16:18 for protestants?

glizag 8 months ago
@glizag It is difficult to answer your question because protestants have a wrong understanding of what salvation is. Salvation is not just a one time event that happened in the past. St Paul tells us that salvation is past, present, and future. We have been saved at the cross, we are being saved (through participation in the sacraments/holy mysteries and in obedience of faith) and we will be saved at the second coming. These are all obtain in the life of the church which Jesus established.
greglee20 8 months ago
@greglee20 Wow Salvation is to be eternally right with God ~~ if not then its not Salvation ~~ do you understand this?
Gods Holy Word tells me I am JUSTIFIED by Faith ~~ in the Merits of Calvary
Justified = to be declared legally NOT GUILTY ~~ read Romans 8:1
The Lord Jesus Declared No one can pluck believers out of the Fathers hand ~~ If you think they can on what basis does this occur
Lastly Your sacraments are as useless as a walk in a swamp ~~ I rest my case
glizag 8 months ago
@glizag The sacraments are not useless since it was Christ and his apostles who established them. Salvation is not about being eternally right with God, nor is it about being declared not guilty. Salvation is theosis. This is the problem with protestant interpretation of scripture. They read everything in terms of a legal code. Justification does not have this legal meaning. IT has an identity meaning. This is a fundamental misunderstanding of scripture by western/protestant believers.

@glizag Keep in mind, We are already accepted by God. This is what the parable of the prodigal son teaches. Salvation is not about being saved from God (as if God full of wrath towards us). Salvation is about growing in unity with the God who conquered death and sin for us. The Father was not full or wrath and vengeance toward the prodigal son. THe son was always accepted by the Father. It was the son who needed to turn his back to the Father. This is what the cross allows us to do.

@glizag humm, so let me ask you do you believe your faith somehow earns GOSs grace? Becaues we are saved by grace correct, and grace can not be earned? Is it not rather the faith of Jesus that saves us that is a gift of GODs grace? Is not the working of GODs grace necessary to be justified or do you not "Seee how a person is justifed by works and not by faith alone"?

@glizag The Church as been given the authority to interpret the scriptures. St Paul tells that the "CHURCH" is the pillar and foundation of the truth. Jesus told the apostles that he would guide them ("The Church" since they are the foundation of it) into all truth. Protestant have no sure grounding. How can any protestant be certain they are dividing the word of God rightly. Jesus didn't say he would guide individual groups of Christians into all truth.

From Vatican II “Lumen Gentium Chp. 62”…… Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked by the Church under the titles of Advocate, Auxiliatrix, Adjutrix, and Mediatrix. This, however, is to be so understood that it neither takes away from nor adds anything to the dignity and efficaciousness of Christ the one Mediator….. For no creature could ever be counted as equal with the Incarnate Word and Redeemer……. The Church does not hesitate to profess this subordinate role of Mary.
MrDes1964 11 months ago
Much is made about the title “Co-Mediatrix” in reference to the Blessed Virgin. I agree that the prefix ‘co’ in English suggest equality, so it is a naturally misleading term in English but the Catholic Church defines its doctrine in Latin and not English. Latin for the English prefix is “cum” which means “with” and Mediatrix is the feminine noun for mediator. A better English translation is “a woman who cooperated with the Mediator”
