@squirell1952 Mate, the things you are saying are completely unbiblical.Ever heard of the trinity. 1 God, 3 persons aka The father, the son and the holy spirit. Moses, Buddha and Mohammad were not 'son's of God'.To think that is heresy, my friend. I'm all for respecting other religions but being respectful does not mean telling them what they want to hear (A lie). Read John 14:6. Jesus says that 'No one comes to the father except through me' and this rules out those who reject him
it is t he DUTY of every single christian to respect EVERY relligion and culture on the planet.
and that includes muslims,. buddhists, hindus and so on. live and let live. that holy law also a pplies to muslims, buddhists, hindus and so on.
SO, COME ON, EVERYBODY: letus embrace one another. we have our SPIRITUALITY in common. As regards mohammed's private life, t hit was HIS business, not anyone else's.
if mohammed were bad, millions would not follow him. PRAY FOR HIM AND HIS FOLLOWERS.
@squirell1952 Can i just ask how that has any relevance? Hitler deceived them. Hitler and Naziism is incompatible with Christianity in general my friend. They preach racial supremacy and a 'survival of the fittest' maxim to live by. They are fundamentally compatible.
I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School based on the principles of the Universe: 真 Truthfulness 善 Compassion 忍 Forbearance.
Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. People are being killed, tortured, put into concentration camps and have organs harvested from live people, simply because of their belief. More than 3400 Falun Gong practitioners have died at the hands of CCP in the past 12 years.
when i was a little lad, we had monks and nuns and they used to whack their beliefs into you with a stick or a strap. Jesus, they whacked caatholidism out of us!! thank god for that!
and this thing about cellibacy - look every adult man jplays with himself. every adult womoan p lays wwith herself, nuns included. so don't try to convince me otherwise. whoever heard of a man not jerking himself off. THEY ALL DO IT. Monks or no monks.
Jer 10:3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a TREE out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 10:4 They DECK IT WITH SILVER AND GOLD; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
@ASignOfContradiction You said, "only the Catholic Church has the right to interpret scripture." Who told you that? Was he a religious leader called "father," when Jesus told you not to call ANY religious leader "father"? Mat 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. The CONTEXT is Religious teachers, don't try to change it.
Apparently, Jesus didn't have the same education that you had.
Ironically, Origen, who wrote the counterfeit Greek text used for Catholic Bibles, was such a heretic, that today he would be considered a Jehovah's Witness since he didn't believe in the deity of Christ, either. He combined Greek philosophy and Christianity. That's why priests study philosophy more than the Bible.
@ASignOfContradiction Nice bluff, but it won't work. Scriptures are interpreted by comparing them to other scripture. Naturally the RCC and Satan disagree with that. "Yea, hath God said?"
The Holy Spirit doesn't give anyone , especially the Catholic "church," the authority to contradict what the Holy Spirit wrote.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned ALREADY because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
i see a lot of jealousy for the RCC here... trying to say they are better, truer and more knowledgeable.
the reason Jesus established the catholic church is for the simple reason of having one authority and one voice with which to interpret his words and teaching... look that the other christian faiths out there they can't agree with their own interpretation of the bible... one says this and the other says another and the sad thing is that people who don't know any better believe them. sad
Apostle Paul never prays to Mary, tells anyone to honor her or talk about her, and in thirteen Pauline Epistles, there is not ONE MENTION of Mary as a "mediatrix," "intercessor," "gate to heaven" or any other blasphemous title attributed to her in the official Roman Catholic books (nihil obstat) written by Catholic cardinals and bishops.

Some "Rock" you've got there. Mat 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Jesus is the Rock. Peter means "stone." The apostolic authority of the 12 is unique and real. The "apostolic authority" of the Vatican is completely and satanically bogus.
Your final authority is not the bible but rather a man who "claims" he is the vicar of Christ & that is what you put your trust in.God commands us to study his word so we won't be fooled by antichrist(2Ti 2:15). Apparently you do not take the heed seriously(Mat 24:4-25). Jesus is the foundation of the church NOT a man(1Pe 2:6). The RCC forbid the laity to read the bible for centuries for they knew the bible revealed them as being a false church that teaches doctrines of demons(1Ti 4:1-4).
I was raised Catholic by my mom, but at the same time, my dad's always been encouraging to lean towards Protestantism, I kind of have. Even though I dont agree with every single Catholic belief, I love the history, and the tradition, the rituals and the sacraments. It's so beautiful. I would actually like to temporarily live in a monastery, to see what it's like.
John 1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
@CatholicsAnonymous94 Get an education then get back to me. I dont have time to run a Biblical languages 101 for you. When its all said and done, only the Catholic Church has the right to interpret scripture.
@ASignOfContradiction... When its all said and done, only the Catholic Church has the right to interpret scripture? did God tell you that personally? there are 7 churches mention in the Book of Revelation, what about the other 6? what you have stated is not right. you do a dis-service to God for saying that.
@surferlaments Nothing more sad than friends of God whom satan uses to lead others astray. Do you believe in the Trinity? Why? The word is not used in scripture? Oh thats right the Catholic Church founded on Peter, guided by the Holy Spirit interprets ALL things in scripture AS JESUS PROMISED. Either the 30000+ variety of Christian sects are true and Jesus is a liar, OR satan has lead souls away from the only Ark of Salvation. Return before you die.
You are a bunch of lost souls. Read Paul's epistles. You can be saved now, and know it. Read in Hebrews why the real christians don't have priests. Study mss history and learn about the idiot Origen who is responsible for your false Bible. Read "History of the New Testament Church," by P.S.Ruckman. Read "Hitler's Pope". Read Avro Manhatten. Above all, pray for wisdom.
@asignofcontradiction Some "Rock" you've got there.

@tonganfoilole69 You are smarter than 1000 atheists, but as far as Christ's church and spiritual matters go, you have no more idea what you are talking about than a two year old ubangi giving a lecture on quantum physics.
@catholicNOmore In Koine Greek, both petros and petra simply meant "rock." If Jesus had wanted to call Simon a small stone, the Greek lithos would have been used. In Aramaic it was kepha. And what does Kepha mean? It means a rock, the same as petra. (It doesn’t mean a little stone or a pebble. What Jesus said to Simon in Matthew 16:18 was this: ‘You are Kepha, and on this kepha I will build my Church.’ You see that Jesus was equating Simon and the rock; he wasn’t contrasting them.
I love roman catholic, i believe and know 4 a fact that this is the only 1 true church founded by jesus christ 2000 yrs ago. pple are so jerlous of the truth. they don't like the fact that catholic church is the only true church. thousands of denomination claim that their religion is the right 1, but i'm telling u non catholics, you're so damn wrong. Roman Catholic is the only 1 true church weather u like it or not, it's the truth..
I think we can all agree that religion is fine. That said, religious folks might need to try a little harder at not being so easily offended. Just saying.

I'm an Anglican Benedictine monk. There is a strong ecumenical hospitality among the Benedictines in the Roman Church. For most of them, Benedictine is Benedictine and a monk is a monk. I've always been invited to sit in choir with the monks at the offices and eat in their refectory. I am grateful for their inclusive attitude. Remember Jesus said "Whatever you did to one of them, you did it to me also." Pax!
Beautiful video(: Reminds me of a trip I took a few years ago to a monastery. Spent a few days praying over and over. It was very uplifting rather like a retreat away from home.
@Ben85paintball sir, i think one of the reasons why heaven is soo hidden from us mortals is because God wants us to exercise our freedom freely. If God were to reveal himself in all His glory and grandeur and the magnificence of heaven with it, i would be sure that we'd all be lemmings by now.
this is why the beauty of heaven remains as a surprise to everyone except for the few who will be so lucky enough to deserve entrance to it.
@temujin0911 - DEAR BEN: God DOES reveal Himself to us every day.
Just look around at the beauaty of the earth. Ask him to help you open your eyes to his beauty. His majestic beauty but we must open ourselves to him a bit more. Let him in. don't keep him out. Open your heart, ears, eyes to see glimpses of truth he hath for me. Spirit Divine. Can't think of the name of that particular hymn. GOD BLESS.
@Ben85paintball we are all limited beings with limited understanding, when you accept your nature and reality, you'll accept that it is impossible for us to absolutely know. i choose that heaven exists and that i want to be a good being, that is all what we have to do now, to know comes later. God bless! ...actually when you choose Him, something happens, He opens your mind a bit, so you know more...and more and more...so you become someone with a bit of knowledge and faith ;)
@Ben85paintball Youre in for a rude awakening when you die and realize what you could have had and now what you can never have because you do not believe
I love this video. I watch it often. It lifts my hearts and I cry because of the beauty of my precious Catholic faith which Jesus Christ has given to me. The words (in Latin) are so beautiful. Just to think that this has been chanted for nearly 2000 years, praising God. The sound of it lifts my heart to God who is Love and Beauty itself.
@Jan22yt Okay first of all thats based off of no facts. It is recorded that Peter was crucified in Rome upside down. Hitler wasn't catholic he did grow up catholic but a bad one. And when he was an adult he declared himself an ex catholic. So he ex communicated himself. Peter was the first Pope haven't you ever read the bible Mathew 16:18 "And I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I shall build my church" Jesus made Peter the rock which he will build his church. And Peter means rock
@325nicaea, you're embarrassing us Roman Catholics. I can't believe you'd say those things... you're being a rather poor example of what a true Catholic should be :/ al;sdkjf;alskdj
a time to be with God . Praying without end is the christian way of life..care to join n pray for the world n remember those who died b4 us esp. 9/11/01..
@squirell1952 pray 4 everyone n 4 peace in the world. God wishes 4 all mankind..Jesus n muhamad r 2 different person...Jesus came down from heaven n rose from the death after 3 days..he defeated death..muhamad came with sword n declare war everywhere n allow 4 wives 4 muslims...he married a 9 yr old when he was 54...
@TheIncognito62 Catholics do not worhip idols, we venerate these images to remind us of the ultimate love and sacrifice for our salvation.
If and when you see us kissing an image or a picture of Jesus or Mama Mary, it is the same act that we all do when we kiss the picture of a dearly loved one who has gone away. I hope this clarifies your perception of our faith.
@temujin0911 It is a pity that Catholics do not often afford this deep understanding of others' faiths, as well. I have often accused my grandmother (who is Catholic) of idolatry (and in her case, I strongly believe it to be true), and certainly many of the more simple-minded practitioners of your faith might mistakenly believe that power inherently lies in the idols, images, facsimiles, and simulacra that embody the aesthetics of your faith. For example, many people carry magical amulets.
@zaktzu do not be deceived, catholics often embellish and lavish on their statues but it does not mean that they have forgotten who these statues represent. to love a statue and forget who it represents is absolutely wrong. for us catholics, these embellishment and more than normal attention given to these statues are manifestations of our love for our God and those whom that He has blessed (saints and angels).
@zaktzu as for using these religious symbols as magical amulets, i think it has more to do with the assimilation of local tradition, culture and religious practice. we wear some of our symbols as a means of constantly reminding us that God is with us and to protect us from the evils of life.
As for your grand mother, may God bless her and her loved ones.
Catholics are hard a bit hard to understand especially if you do not have an understanding of the underlying faith and beliefs.
@temujin0911 Thank you for the thoughtful response. I do, in fact, have a deep understanding of the underlying faith and beliefs. The Catholics I have known--my grandmother included--would make you sad, I think, for they do not have this deep understanding. They are blameless, though, I suppose.
@zaktzu we show our love for God in different ways. some people are more showy than others. I'm sure that God understand that and appreciates the effort that everyone does. what would make God happier is if we as christians study more about the things that are suppose to unite us rather than focus and debate on things that divide us. afterall, we are all for Christ and what He stands for.
thank you for your understanding of our faith and beliefs.
@zaktzu I'm sure your grandmother doesn't think her statues and images are gods. You need to understand the difference in veneration and worship. Today probably the biggest idol is money. People base their entire life around it. People also base their lives around God. I don't know anyone that does it for statues.
I Cannot possibly express how off the mark we as Protestants are! We tend to say that we are right and the Catholics are wrong but tell me What exactly separates the Protestants from the Catholics we have the same basic beliefs that are the core of our faith. So Why do we bicker. We need to unite as the Church, protestants and catholics. In my eyes these men separate themselves from the world as Romans 12:1-2 has instructed us to do. I am a baptist but am considering becoming a catholic monk!
I had question-I have a friend who doesn't believe these guys are catholic (or there no sub hing as catholic monks), I tried to explain to her that there are but yet she insist there isn't and hat Hess guys are a different denomination-she also tries to back it up by saying that was excatholic, how do I get her to see that these guys "are" catholic?
@silverwindspirit tell her there are Catholic religious orders. which include the most known franciscans, jesuits, benedictines, salesians, and dominicans they are all Catholic
I'm 15 and i'm really keen on becoming a religious priest, I'm torn between becoming a hermit and becoming a friar maybe like the capuchin franciscans. Great video
Really? I've discerned my own calling also. If you're into traditionalism in its full glory, I would suggest the FSSP. Though if I was going for anything other than diocesan, I'd go for the Jesuit Order.
May God bless all of the monks for dedicating their lives to God. It is so blessed and loving. May God be with you all through eternity. Your love to God will be adorned by many lives. Amen
This chant has nothing to do with being catholic. It is a pure example of transcending religions thru opening to the Beauty that belongs to no one religion.
This paritcular u tube chanting takes me out of myself, kinda flowing on the soothing sounds that never get interrupted. these monks have achieved harmony that parrells the sound of the universe.
THIS FACT! The Catholic Church has always tried to keep the European as dumb possible. An example of this hiding of truth can be seen in the coverup of the Pedophile Priest and Gays that run the Catholic Church. The Spanish Inquisition, The Crusades, WWI, and WWII, all involve the Catholic Church manipulating, lying to, stealing from, and murdering the people of Europe. WWII is nothing but the Catholic Church and Rothschild using Ashkenazi Khazars(non-Semites/Zionist) for another Crusade.
@Europasfreiheit Sehe ich genau so wie du, ich bin eigentlich evangelisch getauft und aufgewachsen, aber überlege zur katholischen Kirche zu wechseln, habe nur ein wenig Angst wegen den Reaktionen meiner Familie und meiner Freundin,die alle nicht gut auf die Katholische Kirche und unseren heiligen Vater zu sprechen sind.
@Europasfreiheit@Europasfreiheit Pax Vobiscum(peace be with you) Brother! Im sorry. I Thought you're German because of your name;-)
This is the translation(sorry, bad english):
I think the same way as you do, i was born and christened the evangelic way.
Now i want to become catholic,but i worry about the of the feelings my family and my girfriend, they won't understand my choice, they are protestants.I dont know what to do...
@MrBlackheather I was recently in your position (except I was joining the Orthodox Church - which is so close to Catholicism that the Catholics accord us full recognition). I was also Protestant, and faced the same difficulties as you. I would say: 1) If you're not married yet, thank God; that makes things even tougher. 2) For now, remember the Scriptures: "He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me."
@MrBlackheather I just happened to see your comment. I converted two years ago in a extremely similar circumstance. I am now Catholic while my whole family belongs to the Church of Christ. I had a Catholic girlfriend and I was on a mission to show her the reasons she was wrong for her beliefs (I knew what I believed and was on my way to be the preacher). In the end, when you know what the truth is and do a lot of research to find out for yourself there is nothing that will keep you from it.
I'm proud to say I'm catholic. I love all my protestant brothers and sisters. We both believe in God. We just have different views to do so. Now if anyone is going to make judgments, it should be God.
im catholic and catholic is the real Christianity men who want to be priests or monks have to give up being married , having kids, and Being rich. Same goes to woman who want to be Nuns
@InTheSpirit12 an elder is a priest, nun, or monk? The Bible is not God himself. His Church is not a church of the dead but a church of the living. The Bible would not exist if not for the Church that made it that still exists. You need to get to the roots. Believing the Bible is all we have is a doctrine of men that is deadly. It made people think they can interpret it to mean whatever they want it to. IT HAS ONE AND ONLY ONE MEANING.
@willlovesjennifer Nuns and monks are foreign to the scriptures. All believers are part of the royal priesthood and all believers are saints(1 Peter 2:9;Phil 4:21). Your claim that the bible would not exist apart from the RCC is absurd. The bible is NOT a doctrine of men it is Gods word & is sufficient to bring one to salvation(2 Timothy 3:15). We believe the bible, RC believe the pope, now who is following the doctrines of men?
@InTheSpirit12 I believe in the Bible too, but I also know it didn't magically appear down from heaven in a leather bond copy that everyone photocopied and dispersed, needing no one to clarify meaning whatsoever. The CHURCH is the pillar and foundation of truth(1 Tim 3:15). The Bible is important but the church shows you what it means echoing the meaning from the time of Christ so that the meaning doesn't need to be interpreted.
I for one, enjoy a GOOD Hollywood movie but I hate that every one is filled with scum which is supposed to be 'art' or funny or 'good story-line'.
writers/directors needn't look any further to see the potential beauty - REAL beauty that could be put into films - the humility, kindness & calmness of people like these monks. Is that not so much better? I know I'D rather watch that than people swearing their heads off or walking around half-naked.
Heavens, the rage and animosity that is occurring between Catholics and Protestants is quite disturbing. " If someone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?" 1 John 4:20. We are all people of the faith, so we must stop attacking our doctrinal differences if we are to to do the will of our most supreme and sovereign God.
I am Roman Catholic and entering the seminary soon. None of us here can say who is and who isn't going to share n eternal life with the Lord Jesus Christ, only He will make the decision on judgement day. "For God so loved the WORLD that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."- John 3:16 Although the Catholic Church was the first Church which was built upon our first Pope, Peter, we are not ones to say who will have eternal life.
Doesn't Christ just shine through these posters?! Christ gave the world the Church as a vehicle toward salvation. The church created scripture as a tool to use in that vehicle. The Church having the power to bind and loose is an astounding power, yet even with that power it still knows that it is Christ who is the judge of salvation rather than the youtube respondents to this video. Perhaps the next awesome power is to judge others and cut ones own self off from God.
@325nicaea ... it is wrong for you to say as you have. the Bible... the Scriptures says God and Jesus decides who inherits the Kingdom. it is not the church that gets one into heaven. you have changed what God has said.
try reading Revelation 22 18:19. so you will have a better understanding. Ecce Homo.
" And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." (from Matthew 16:17)
@325nicaea Persistant you are, but in what exactly? Try applying same level of persistence while trying to write properly. You keep mentioning hell, you must be RC.
Love!

the reason Jesus established the catholic church is for the simple reason of having one authority and one voice with which to interpret his words and teaching... look that the other christian faiths out there they can't agree with their own interpretation of the bible... one says this and the other says another and the sad thing is that people who don't know any better believe them. sad

Apostle Paul never prays to Mary, tells anyone to honor her or talk about her, and in thirteen Pauline Epistles, there is not ONE MENTION of Mary as a "mediatrix," "intercessor," "gate to heaven" or any other blasphemous title attributed to her in the official Roman Catholic books (nihil obstat) written by Catholic cardinals and bishops.

Some "Rock" you've got there. Mat 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Jesus is the Rock. Peter means "stone." The apostolic authority of the 12 is unique and real. The "apostolic authority" of the Vatican is completely and satanically bogus.

Your final authority is not the bible but rather a man who "claims" he is the vicar of Christ & that is what you put your trust in.God commands us to study his word so we won't be fooled by antichrist(2Ti 2:15). Apparently you do not take the heed seriously(Mat 24:4-25). Jesus is the foundation of the church NOT a man(1Pe 2:6). The RCC forbid the laity to read the bible for centuries for they knew the bible revealed them as being a false church that teaches doctrines of demons(1Ti 4:1-4).

@catholicNOmore In Koine Greek, both petros and petra simply meant "rock." If Jesus had wanted to call Simon a small stone, the Greek lithos would have been used. In Aramaic it was kepha. And what does Kepha mean? It means a rock, the same as petra. (It doesn’t mean a little stone or a pebble. What Jesus said to Simon in Matthew 16:18 was this: ‘You are Kepha, and on this kepha I will build my Church.’ You see that Jesus was equating Simon and the rock; he wasn’t contrasting them.

this is why the beauty of heaven remains as a surprise to everyone except for the few who will be so lucky enough to deserve entrance to it.

@TheIncognito62 Catholics do not worhip idols, we venerate these images to remind us of the ultimate love and sacrifice for our salvation.
If and when you see us kissing an image or a picture of Jesus or Mama Mary, it is the same act that we all do when we kiss the picture of a dearly loved one who has gone away. I hope this clarifies your perception of our faith.
temujin0911 4 months ago 39
@temujin0911 It is a pity that Catholics do not often afford this deep understanding of others' faiths, as well. I have often accused my grandmother (who is Catholic) of idolatry (and in her case, I strongly believe it to be true), and certainly many of the more simple-minded practitioners of your faith might mistakenly believe that power inherently lies in the idols, images, facsimiles, and simulacra that embody the aesthetics of your faith. For example, many people carry magical amulets.
zaktzu 2 months ago
@zaktzu do not be deceived, catholics often embellish and lavish on their statues but it does not mean that they have forgotten who these statues represent. to love a statue and forget who it represents is absolutely wrong. for us catholics, these embellishment and more than normal attention given to these statues are manifestations of our love for our God and those whom that He has blessed (saints and angels).
temujin0911 2 months ago
@zaktzu as for using these religious symbols as magical amulets, i think it has more to do with the assimilation of local tradition, culture and religious practice. we wear some of our symbols as a means of constantly reminding us that God is with us and to protect us from the evils of life.
As for your grand mother, may God bless her and her loved ones.

@temujin0911 Thank you for the thoughtful response. I do, in fact, have a deep understanding of the underlying faith and beliefs. The Catholics I have known--my grandmother included--would make you sad, I think, for they do not have this deep understanding. They are blameless, though, I suppose.
zaktzu 2 months ago
@zaktzu we show our love for God in different ways. some people are more showy than others. I'm sure that God understand that and appreciates the effort that everyone does. what would make God happier is if we as christians study more about the things that are suppose to unite us rather than focus and debate on things that divide us. afterall, we are all for Christ and what He stands for.
thank you for your understanding of our faith and beliefs.
temujin0911 2 months ago
@zaktzu I'm sure your grandmother doesn't think her statues and images are gods. You need to understand the difference in veneration and worship. Today probably the biggest idol is money. People base their entire life around it. People also base their lives around God. I don't know anyone that does it for statues.

THIS FACT! The Catholic Church has always tried to keep the European as dumb possible. An example of this hiding of truth can be seen in the coverup of the Pedophile Priest and Gays that run the Catholic Church. The Spanish Inquisition, The Crusades, WWI, and WWII, all involve the Catholic Church manipulating, lying to, stealing from, and murdering the people of Europe. WWII is nothing but the Catholic Church and Rothschild using Ashkenazi Khazars(non-Semites/Zionist) for another Crusade.

@willlovesjennifer Nuns and monks are foreign to the scriptures. All believers are part of the royal priesthood and all believers are saints(1 Peter 2:9;Phil 4:21). Your claim that the bible would not exist apart from the RCC is absurd. The bible is NOT a doctrine of men it is Gods word & is sufficient to bring one to salvation(2 Timothy 3:15). We believe the bible, RC believe the pope, now who is following the doctrines of men?

The Bible is important but the church shows you what it means echoing the meaning from the time of Christ so that the meaning doesn't need to be interpreted.

Doesn't Christ just shine through these posters?! Christ gave the world the Church as a vehicle toward salvation. The church created scripture as a tool to use in that vehicle. The Church having the power to bind and loose is an astounding power, yet even with that power it still knows that it is Christ who is the judge of salvation rather than the youtube respondents to this video. Perhaps the next awesome power is to judge others and cut ones own self off from God.
