The Roman Catholic church is a disreputable institution. Many of the clergy are sexually frustated sad individuals who prey upon others. Believe me - I was one of their victims and I depise them.
Pple that against catholic thinks they know the truth but they don't know nothing; wht you pple know about the bble is not even close to the truth, u think u know, i'm teeling u, u don't..why do u think our priest is so strong in their belief? cause have to learn and search 4 the true meaning of the bble before they become priest, You should do too, if u know the true meaning? i tell u, you will follow the catholic faith..
@tonganfoilole69 The Roman Catholic Church teaches unbiblical doctorines like the Age of Accountability and celebrates Pagan holidays Like Christmas and Easter, Also batpizes Infants which is completely unbiblical.
The problem is, we think that God is up in heaven, and we are down here, so God will not know what is happening down here on earth, but actually he is present everywhere, in each molecules of our body, and if we see around us, life is everywhere, the trees, animals, people, energy everywhere, signs of life, and that Life is God
Fathe God, we pray for Cathyrn to be saved from the spirit of religion and for her eyes to be opened to the only Trth we have as created human, the Word of God. Lord help Cathryn to see the importance of being saved by faith alone, the free gift of grace in the work that Christ did. Lord, we know you said on the cross "it is finished". There is no need for the sacrificial mass, Lord Jesus we know you paid the price ONCE and for all, thank you LOrd and open Cathyrn to the Truth.. amen!
@rtarasiak Christ paid the sacrifice once for all...bu He commanded us in John 6 to eat His flesh and drink His blood as remembrance for His sacrifice. The Catholic Church obeys this very important commandment so we have the communion (Eucharist) to remember His sacrifice. But Satan wants us to forget that, and use all the means to keep you away from Christ Body and Blood. No wonder, because he is the father of all lies.
@For3nity I thank God I have the rememberance and break bread often with ohe Believers. JUST LIKE THE TRUE CHURCH IN THE BOOK OF ACTS! They went home to home, broke bread and testified of Jesus Christ and OH! They didn;t have an RCC priest, nor confessing to a pirest, nor any pope, nor prayed to Mary, she's not even Mentionedm but Hey whata concept, Christ is mentioned! THIS IS THE TRUE CHURCH FOUND IN ACTS. THEY had it right! And I wil follow these people who even died for Christ! NOT Mary!
@rtarasiak And what did Jesus say when He broke the bread? This IS my body. This IS my blood. Take it, eat it, drink it, and I will raise you up on the last day. If you just broke the bread, you remembered the bread only, not Jesus Body and Blood (His sacrifice and passion on the cross). You don't understand the meaning of breaking the bread as done by the Apostles, because you follow the man-made tradition. Whereas the Church knows what it really means because of the Apostolic Tradition.
@rtarasiak And when you go deep in history, you will know the ones who died for Christ are the members of the Catholic Church, and Mary did accompany them. So if you want to follow them, follow the Apostolic Church, the one that is founded by Jesus. Do not follow the one founded by man.
@For3nity I thank God I have the rememberance and break bread often with ohe Believers. JUST LIKE THE TRUE CHURCH IN THE BOOK OF ACTS!

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness"; 20 and again, "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile." 21 Therefore let no one boast in men 1 Cor 3:19-21 (NKJV). Do not boast in the Pope, nor Mary, nor me, nor anybody except Christ who guarantees salvation by His free gift of grace NOT by works nor the RCC. Only Christ gurantees salvation by His work! Not ours! Works come after being born-again, saved
@rtarasiak Amen to1Cor 3:19-21. And Amen that we are not to boast in the Pope, Mary or others except Christ. It's the teaching of the Catholic Church.
But the salvation is a free gift when we were still sinners we accept Jesus as our lord and Savior. But after that we have to live our lives for HIm only, by growing in holiness and do good work. Fail to do that, we worship Him with our lips only, and we are not worthy of Him if we love anything more than Him.
Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.1 Cor 1:20-21 (NKJV)
@rtarasiak Yes..agree. Pls preach this to the unbelievers. Thank you for spreading the gospel as taught by the Church. The Church (RCC) is happy as long as souls are saved by believing in the true gospel (salvation thru faith in Christ Jesus), regardless it's preached by the Church herself, or by those outside the Church.
These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 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. 1 Cor 2:13-14 (NKJV) Trust ONLY the Word of God and Holy SPirit! Read only the Word of God fgor wisdom! IT is the TRUTH! CCC is all man-made! Do not trust man, only the Word of God!
@rtarasiak The Catholic Church is historically the only Apostolic Church. The other churches are manmade churches that exist not until yrs 1517, when the ex Catholic ML rebelled against the Catholic Church. The CCC is based on the Sacred Scriptures and Sacred "Apostolic" Tradition. Sacred "Apostolic" Tradition was the source of the NT Sacred Scriptures. Not all Words of God taught in the Sacred "Apostolic" Tradition were written in the NT Sacred Scriptures.
The Bible is clear! the RCC is wrong! Jesus and PAul is right! For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.Eph 2:8-9 (NKJV) Bible or the RCC, which will you follow? Chrit or the Pope? Which will you follow? Jesus ort Mary who will you pray thru to GOd? Only ONe mediator, Jesus Christ, 1 Tim. 2:5 Cathyrn leave this Cult in Jesus Name i pray amen!!!
@rtarasiak The Bile is clear. The RCC is also clear. If it's unclear, then the problem is not on the Bible or the Church. Besides, the bible is the product of the Church (RCC). We cannot have the Bible clear or right if the Church is wrong. Either believe in the bible AND the Church, or write another bible, and then don't bother with the Church (RCC).
@For3nity In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. John 1:1-5 (NKJV) The Bible is the product of God!
But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:8-10 (NKJV) Nothing about the Catholic Church saving you? Yet the RCC in the catechism says only thru the RCC?
@rtarasiak The RCC teaches salvation is thru the grace of God by believing in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior who came to the world to redeem and save us. Other than that it's either a lie from the enemy of God, or just simply a misunderstanding of the faith.
For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,Romans 3:22-25 (NKJV)
Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."John 3:3 (NKJV) Born again does NOT happen when a baby! IT is a decision made by a person once one understands what Jesus did for all humanity and when it becomes personal by the Holy Spirit giving revelation thru the Word of GOd! Thus one makes a decision to be born-again. A baby cannot make a decision? Infant baptism is not in the Bible!
@rtarasiak Infant baptism is biblical. Luke 1:13: ..and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
Luke 18:15-17: Now they were bringing even INFANTS to him that he might touch them; ...But Jesus called them to him, saying, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them;
Acts 16:31: And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your HOUSEHOLD."
1 Corinthians 1:16: I did baptize also the HOUSEHOLD of Stephanas.
@rtarasiak Infant baptism. In addition to Luke 1:13, Luke 18:15-17, Act 16:31. 1 Cor 1:16 have you considered Luke 2:21 and Col 2:11-12?. At what age was Jesus circumcised?...Do you know the meaning of the circumcision? Or why a baby had to be circumcised? Why circumcised since the baby also knew nothing? How St. Paul related circumcision with baptism? Also do you know about "Sacrament of Confirmation" in the Catholic Church?. By now I hope you can see why infant baptism is biblical.
@For3nity You are NOT expositorily interpretating scripture correctly in context! Please go to school and learn this, then come back and we can then properly and hermenuetically interpret scripture? I also recommend taking a Biblical Greek and Hebrew class which will help you to expose the word properly. Otherwise I am wasting my time with you. I have made clear points within the context of scripture and you do not see this because you have the mindset of the RCC. One must remove the bias to see
@For3nity Circumcism of the heart is what Apostle Paul is talking about, not the flesh. A baby cannot understand what Batism is all about. The Greek word is Baptizmo which is total immersion in water. John the Baptist performed baptizmo to people of accountability, not to a baby who undertands nothing! Infant baptism is not clearly within text in the bible! so please do not interpret text or twist scripture to fit your bias. thank you. I was "confirmed" in the RCC, did nothing for me! RCC is sad
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 (NKJV) For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself a ransom for all,
1 Tim 2:5-6 (NKJV) PRAy only to God thru Christ! NOT Mary! He alone paid the price for our sins!
For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world." 5 For even His brothers did not believe in Him John 7:4-5 (NKJV) one of many scriptures that Jesus had half brothers. The RCC tells one that "brother" in the bible means a "spirutla brother" sometimes this is true? However a "spiritual" brother would believe in CHrist!!!!! This verse clearly shows Jesus was talking asbout James and His other family Brothers of Mary.
@rtarasiak If Mary had other children, Jesus would violate the law by giving Mary from the cross to be taken care by his disciple John. So Mary had no other children except Jesus.
There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11 or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead.Deut 18:10-11 (NKJV)
@conspunk i PRAY FOR OTHER PEOPLE WO ARE ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE DEAD ONES I DO NOT PRAY TO OR THOUGH IT IS NOT IN THE BIBLE!!!!!! I PRAY FOR OTHERS TO GOD THGRU CHRIST ALONE, NO NEED OF A SINNER MARY TO MEDIATE FOR ME? i GO RIGHT TO THE "CEO" JESUS! WHY GO THRU THE "SCERETARY"? I PRAY THRU CHRIST ALONE FOR OTHERS, THIS IS BIBLICAL! ALL ARE SINNERS INCLUDING MARY, POPE YOU AND I PER THE BIBLE, EXCEPT THE SAVIOR! THE RCC ELEVATES MARY EVEN ABOVE CHRIST! HOW SAD! RCC MARY NOT IN THE BIBLE!
@conspunk NO I AM NOT a mediator! I am a sinner saved by grace alone! Eph. 2:8,9. I can only pray for others but as to going to the Father with our prayers which is the only way to pray there is only ONE mediator between God and Man, Christ Jesus 1 Tim. 2:5. It is pretty clear Mar, dead saints do not save, do not intercede! NO WHERE IN THE BIBLE ARE WE TOLD TO PRAY THRU DEAD SAINTS! NO WHERE! WAKE UP! CHRIST ALONE! MARY WAS A SINNER AS WELL AS ALL! ONLY CHRIST KNEW NO SIN! PERIOD! WAKE UP!
THIS IS THE BIBLE: IF YOU WOULD DIE TODAY WOULD YOU GO TO HEAVEN? CATHOLICS CANNOT RESPOND WITH CERTAINTY OF SALVATION! BUT THOSE WHO ARE BORN AGAIN AND RELY ONLY ON HIS ATONEMENT AND REDEMPTION CAN TRULY SAY WITH CERTAINTY THAT YES I AM SAVED AND IF I DIE I WILL BE IN HEAVEN WITH THE LORD! Rom. 3:23, 10:9,10, John 3:16, 1 tim. 2:5, John 14:6, Rom. 10:13, 1 John 1:9. Scripture promises forgiveness of sin only thru confession to God thru Christ! Believe Catholicsim or believe the Truth?
New video response will follow to this post of "feel good" Catholic conversion! God help the Catholics to stand only on the Word of God! IT IS THE ONLY TRUTH, NOT TRADITION, NOT MAGISTERIUM! BIBLE TELLS US NOT TO TRUST MAN! WHO WILL YOU TRUST? GOD OR MAN? GOD OR TRADITIONS? i WILL TRUST IN HIS WORD ALONE! I LEFT CATHOLICISM BY THE LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE WORD ALONE! CATHOLICSM IS NOT OF GOD AND IS THE ROAD TO HELL! THANK GOD I WAS DRAWN OUT BY THE TRUTH OF THE WORD ALONE! BORN AGAIN!
One cannot be led by emotion or feelings when it come to faith and salvation! One must ONLY be led by the Fact, the Word of God! Mary cannot save you, nor the Pope, nor the Catholic Church! Ther eis only ONE mediator between God and man, Jesus Chist. 1 Tim. 2:5. There is ONLY One way to God thru Christ alone! John 14: 6 Jesus said this Himself! One cannot pray to Mary nor anyother dead person! It is only thru Christ! RCC teaches faith + works = salvation! LIE!!!! Only Saved By Grace, Jesus alone
@rtarasiak Faith without work is dead. We are saved by grace thru faith in Jesus. That's what the Church teaches us. But when we have faith in Jesus, we are to obey all His commands, repent from all our sins, and live for God only as a new creation in Christ Jesus. Praying to Mary or the Saints is only a reflection of how we honor God by honoring all that have good relationship with Him. When we honor and love them, we will be automatically "motivated" to be like them in loving God.
@For3nity Show me in the Bible with proper textual context and hermenuetical interpretation where anyone prayed to dead saints or Mary? She even told the Disciples to "Do what He says" Jesus is the the onlyway to the Father! Paul tells us there is ONLY ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN God and Man. 1 Tim. 2:5. RCC truly teaches in the Catechism that one is saved by faith and works! I was Catholic for 39 years i know what they teach! Thus this is a contradiction to scripture as Paul wrote in Eph. 2:8,9.
@rtarasiak No one pray to Mary in th Bible because back then Mary was still alive.
The Saints are not dead. They are alive in heaven, more alive than us.
Yes, we obey Mary to do as He said (eat His flesh so that we have life in us, accept Mary as our mother, carry our cross daily and follow Him, etc). How about you?
In 1Tim 2:5. The mediator to GOD is the MAN Christ Jesus. Mary is our mediator to the True GOD Jesus, her Son...at Cana, and now in heaven.
@For3nity Show me ANY where in the Bible where it tell us to pray to thru or to dead saints? My challenge to you? It is not in there! Now you thus change, twist and add to scripture! in 1 Tim. 2:5! Just like th devil did to Eve! Shame on you! Jesus is the only way, I am a Saint! A Saint is one who is bornpaain and set apart to do God's Will and live for Him thru the Word! "To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse:
Col 1:2 (NKJV)" A Saint is very alive! As well I am one!
@rtarasiak Amen to Eph 2:8-9. When we were saved by grace, we were still sinner. So no good work that we did to earn it. So we are not to boast about it. But when we believed in Jesus and were baptised, we died with Him.... we are dead to sin.....we are a new creation...we live for God only. Then we do the good "love work" out of our love to Him. If we betrayed Him, by indulging in a sinful life, our name will be erased from the Book of Life. So no such once saved, always saved.
@For3nity You forgot to mention repent! ne must repent and believe in Christ to receive the gift of salvation not received by works or tradition but only God's free gift thru sending Christ to take our place on the cross! We deserved the cross! He did not! But made atonement for us! He is all we need! Not Mary, Pope, Just Him for salvation! alleluia! Thus after salvation being born-again at the age of understanding wht repentace merans thus we can confess Christ and believe and be saved by grace
@rtarasiak "He is all we need! Not Mary, Pope, Just Him for salvation! "
Amen to that. Who told you we need Mary or the Pope for salvation. Jesus is our redeemer. We need Mary and the Pope just as you need your pastor to teach you about the bible, Jesus and God. We learn from Mary all her virtues. The Pope help us thru the Church to have the correct interpretation of the verses and to have a true faith in Jesus and in God...thru the Magisterium, the teaching authority.
@For3nity The last pope who supposedly speaks infallible said that Mary was Co-redeemer with Christ, a mediatrix! The Bible clearly tells us there is only ONE mediator between Man and God, Jesus Christ 1 Tim. 2:5. YOU must investigate the RCC history and you will see yourself all the contradictions with the Bible! Do not take my word for it, I researched and then left the RCC after 39 years! And now a Pastor, i preach only God's Word and not add nor take away as the RCC! May Jesus open you eyes!
@rtarasiak Christ is the only ONE mediator between Man and God. Sure. That's the teaching of Catholic Church.
Jesus came to the world as an image of the unseen God. We know God because of the True Man Jesus.That's the meaning of that verse. It's ridiculous for the True God Jesus to intercede to God. When Mary interceded at wedding at Cana she interceded to Jesus as Man and God. So what's the difference now when she intercedes to the True Man and True God Jesus in heaven?
@For3nity You are taking this out of context! Mary had no power here when on earth nor in Heaven! She clearly could not provide the wine, so she told the discples "do what He says" This is NOT the same as interceding to Christ in Heaven! Get REAL WILL YOU? stay in proper exergesis of the Word! If Apostle Paul tells us that Christ is the only mediator, and Jesus himself tells us He is only way to the Father John 14:6, then I will believe Jesus and Apostle Paul not you nor any other man or RCC!
@For3nity Show me in the Bible what you just wrote? IT IS NOT In there! Apparitions are not of God, especially when they DO NOT give glory to God! The Muslims who worship a false God even where watching a so called abarition of Mary in Egypt a few years ago? Yet this is part of the Ecumenical movement where the last pope came together in Assisi, Italy with witchcrafters, voodoo priets, Buddhists, Hindus, etc... and the pope said "We are all praying to the same God." Wow! NOT me!
@rtarasiak Apparitions are not of God?. Read your bible. There were many stories of apparitions. Moses and Elijah met Jesus...the angel visited Mary...the angel visited the shepherds, the angel visited Zacharias, the angels visited the OT people, etc..etc.
@For3nity Correct, but test the spirits, if the vision does NOT line up with the Word of God and does NOT give glory to God or Christ then reject it becuase it is taking the glory off of Christ and giving it to bleeding statues and Mary. Jesus NEVER gave the glory to anything of this World! ONLY to GOD the Father and thus when one prays to "our Father.." we can only pray to Him thru Christ alone! John 14:6, 1 Tim. 2:5. I can pray directly to God, I do not have to go thru Mary, or dead saints,
@rtarasiak The problem with you is that you think Mary is Jesus competitor. Mary wants only what Jesus wants, because He is her Son, and He is the Lord, whereas Mary is the handmaid of the Lord. So don't just "buy" all the false man-made doctrine. Learn from His Church to know the true faith. And who said Mary has all the power. We just want you to face the reality that Mary is visiting her spiritual children on earth, sent by God (Jesus) thru the apparitions.
@For3nity For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 2 Cor 11:13-14. Abiritions is how the Mormon church was started! false church! Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.1 John 4:1. Satan is counterfeitng with signs, and wonders and Bible ignorance is a fact!
@For3nity Another problem you bow down to statues of her in the RCC chuches. What does the word say the RCC removes from 10 Commandments: "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. Ex 20:4-5 (NKJV). There it is! As a former RCC for 39 yrs. and altar boy, I bowed down to statues! Rosary, praying to Mary, not biblical!
@rtarasiak The statues are only Catholic ARTS. Idolatry is worshipping other God. We worship the Holy Trinity. When you misinterpret the verse, it's your problem, not the Church. Read Col 3:5 to better understand idolatry:
3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is IDOLATRY. Rather than bearing false witness against us, you better be careful not to commit that type of idolatry.
@For3nity DO NOT TELL ME YOU DO NOT BOW DOWN TO THEM WHEN YOU PASS IN FRONT OFTHEM? I HAVE BEE NTHERE AND DONE IT AS AN ALTAR BOY AS WELL AS THE PRIESTS ALL DO! You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them.Ex 20:4-5 (NKJV) THE WORD IS PRETTY CLEAR TO ME IN THE COMMANDMENT. YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! GET SAVED!
@rtarasiak Keep accusing us with "bow down, etc" and you just prove your shallow understanding of scriptures and our faith. If I bow down to you do I worship you? Or let me put it the other way: If I believe you are God and I bow down to you, then you are my idol. How many times we have to tell you our God is the Holy Trinity? And about the graven image, read your bible.How many times God ask the OT people to make graven image? Yeah..you HAVE to learn from the Church to understand Christianity.
@For3nity i DO NOT BOW DOWN TO ANY STATUE NOR ANY MAN, NOR THE POPE! I ONLY BOW DOWN TO CHRIST MY LORD! TRINITY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS! SHOW ME IN THE BIBLE WHERE GOD SAID TO MAKE A STATUE OR IMAGE? THE WORD WILL NOT CONTRIDICT ITSELF! "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them" very clear and concise! no opinion
@rtarasiak Read your OT...you will find it. God ordered Moses to make the bronze snake...and the cherubim, etc. It's clear you don't understand what God means by idolatry. I have shown you Col 3:5 that you should worry of your modern idolatry. Our modern world has so many graven images....! We instead glorify God with graven images, etc. SO CONTEXT...that's very important if you want to have true faith and true understanding of scriptures. Learn from His Church.
@For3nity Did people and Moses bow down to them? NO! You idiot! I don't need images! I have His Word and the Holy Spirit indweling presence in me as a member of His Church! I am a Saint set apart for His Holy Spirit to work through me to spread the only gospel of grace! I do not need anything of this world, only the Word of Truth. No traditions! No magisterium! Jesus alone, just like He sent out His Disciples with nothing but His Word, all we need today, tomorrow, forever! Alleluia I am saved!
@rtarasiak THE last pope denied the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice by declaring punishment for sin could be remitted "by abstaining from unnecessary consumption (of tobacco or alcohol) and donating a proportionate sum of money to the poor" (VIS, 9/29/99). Unbelieveable! Kissed the Quran, came together with voodoo, witchcrafters, Buddhists, Muslims, etc.. all fase religions in Assisi and proclaimed "We are all praying to the same God"! Unbelieveable! The magisterium speaks! My infallible!
@For3nity I worship Jesus "in spirit and in truth"
God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:24 (NKJV) Come out and only believe the truth Sir? What if I am right? And th Bible is the only truth? Are you willing to risk your life and trust in tradition and man? I am not willing to take the risk! I will trust only Jesus' work on the cross! Mary, the pope, you and i are ALL sinners and all fall short of the glory of God, Rom. 3:23. Extremely clear!
@rtarasiak Why on earth do you think we are not worshipping God in spirit? Martin Luther learnt that from the Church..that Good is spirit, etc, etc. No. You are not to teach the Church. You are to learn from the Church. TRUST IN JESUS and His Church....and you are safe. Otherwise, you might believe lies as truth and you reject the truth for lies. One more thing, to know the true Jesus, the safest way is thru His mother. And the safest way to learn scriptures, is thru His Church.
@For3nity ONLY ONE MEDIATOR PER THE WORD OF GOD!!!!!!! MARY CANNOT ANSWER PRAYER, I DO NOT PRAY TO DEAD PEOPLE. SHOW ME ANYWHERE IN SCRIPTURE THAT ONE PRAYS TO DEAD OR THROUGH DEAD PEOPLE? YOU CAN'T!! CASE CLOSED! THE WORD OF GOD DECLARES THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL TEACH, COMFORT, COUNSEL, NOT A HYPOCRISY RCC! FOR 39 YEARS AS AN RCC NEVER HAVE I HEARD AN EXPOSITORY SERMON FROM AN RCC PRIEST! NEVER! THEY ARE TRAINED IN THE RCC SEMINARY MAINLY IN PSYCHOLOGY! FACT! PRAY ONLY THRU CHRIST TO GOD!
@For3nity Item #2 show in the bible? Item #3 show me this in the bible? Item #5 Show me that the Bible is "Her" book in the bible? Read Deut. 18:10-12. Bible clearly in this passage said to not talk or "call up the dead". Also NOWHERE in the Bible does it say to pray to anybody except God thru Christ! If you can show me specifically without taking it out of context and without adding your opinion or bias, then i will be glad to read it? only ONE mediator bewteen God and Man, Christ Jesus! Clear!
@rtarasiak Item #2. Wedding at Cana. #3. show me in the bible where the word Trinity is. Also, show me in the bible that not all are written in the bible (the verse is there, just find it yourself). item #5. Read the history your self. Or search: "Where we got the bible, our debt to the Catholic Church."
About praying to those alive in heaven, it's not in the bible because back then Mary was still alive, and no one in heaven yet except the Holy Trinity and the Holy Angels.
7). "No expository sermon for 39 yrs." Really. Make sure you did go to the Church at least once a week during those 39 yrs, and make sure you were not sleeping in the Church.
8). "They are trained in the seminary mainly in psychology" I am proud of them if they know psychology in addition to the theology.
9). "Pray only thru Christ to God". Why don't we go to the jungle, so no body will ask us to pray for them. So just obey the Bible..pray thru Christ & pray for each other.
@For3nity OH no no sleeping! Altar boy, Even studied Transcendental Meditiation TM that is of Satan in a RCC High School! Do not ever remember opening the Bible for four years! How sad! Psychology is of man! IT is of psychos! Not of God's Word! I rely on Christ to solve my problems, i do NOT need a "psycho"! I was told by a RCC Priest that in seminary that is all they study is Psychology! How sad? No wonder they cannot expositorially and hermenuetically preach the Gospel! blind eyes!
@rtarasiak Altar boy will not guarantee you know the faith. I know an altar boy. He was so ignorant of the faith. But when he grew up in faith, things are so different in the Church. God is there. Jesus is there. And all the family of God in heaven are there. So beautiful the faith is. What a gift of God. I am so proud now to be Catholic. I looked to other faith when I didn't know my Catholic faith. Now outside the church is just so meaningless compared to the truth I found in the Church.
@For3nity Never wrote it did? The RCC was so meanigless until I found only the truth of God's Word and Christ who now is LOrd of All! I thank God for Him opening my eyes to true faith alone which is found only in scripture and not traditions of man! Praise God!
@rtarasiak Why are you so different with me.You find the RCC is meaningless, I find the RCC is so meaningful. So either you or me is right. Either RCC or tens thousands denominations are right. If the tens thousands denominations have the same doctrines then most probably the RCC is wrong, but that's not the case. But we all know that we can't have tens thousands truthS. The truth is only one. And it's in the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church...founded by Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
@rtarasiak Do not remember open the bible for 4 years? Actually in the Cathoilic Church you don't need to open a Bible during the Mass, because all the verses already provided in the Church...the Gospel, NT, OT, Psalm (and all the verses are so perfectly chosen and are related to each others). You just didn't read them, or probably you didn't realize they were verses quoted from the bible. Or you never noticed that the book that was read by the priest is the Bible. And you left the Church. Sad.
@For3nity I did not say in church but in an RCC High School! Read correctly please? Ther bottom line is that you trust more in the RCC and will defend Marianism but Jesus is sort of left behind? How sad, I will continue being the messenger to Catholics and in love God will bring them out of the RCC and show them the truth of Christ's Church, not Mary's not the RCC's only Christ and Hi s body of believers saved by grace alone! God bless you and keep earning your way, i will rest in Christ's work!
@rtarasiak Our faith is in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. So pls stop telling us things that we don't believe or do. It's called bearing false witness against others, and God hates that. A true believer will never do that.
Let me say you this: I believe with all my heart, that as long as you do not understand our love to Mary, the Saints, the Popes, etc, you are still far from knowing the true love for God and for Jesus. You need to improve in LOVE, then you will understand. GBU.
@rtarasiak If you believe Rom 3:23 is true for all of mankind, why do you believe Jesus is sinless. But yes, I believe Jesus is sinless, so is Mary. They are two are the exception, becauue they are the new Adam and new Eve. God created the old Adam and old Eve sinless.
@For3nity Show me in the Bible where it exaclty tells us Mary was sinless, in proper hermenuetics? You cannot! This goes against the Word of God to proclaim her without sin! She brought sacrifices to the Temple, made an offering for sin! So guess what? The Bible clearly shows her a sinner! She would not have to make an offering if she was without sin, plus other scriptures clearly tell us we are all sinners! Wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@rtarasiak She went to the temple just to follow tradition. She was so humble. And pls don't dishonor the Blessed Mother out of your hatred to the Church. There is no verse that says Mary is sinful. So no need for you to assume that. The Church believes she is sinless, because of the bible....it's implicitly in the bible, the same as the word Trinity that''s not in the bible but we all believe it. If you study the Arc of Covenant and relate to Mary, then you will understand. Do your home work.
@For3nity I did my homework for intensively prior to leaving the RCC! I know exactly why i left! Deception just as you are being deceived! Eithr you will be lieve in context of Rom. 3 or you will not? Obviously you are so engulfed (brain washed) by tradtion that you cannot even see scripture and expositorally understand it? All is all? "no one is good no not one!" That is why Mary had to bring a sacrifice and then consumate the marriage per Jewish tradition and had other children thru Joseph!
@rtarasiak Did you read the writings of the Early Church Fathers? Do your home work....and see if the Early Church resembles your church or the Catholic Church. Also learn who "gave" the bible to the world, and who removed some of the books from the bible. Learn also when did Martin Luther rebel against the Church. There was no other Church before yr 1517, but the Caholic Church. And don't say that in 1517 yrs there was no one saved because they were Catholic.The Holy Spirit didn't sleep.
@rtarasiak No one is brainwashed by the Apostolic Tradition. To know the Fullness of Truth and the Fullness of Christianity you should have: The Sacred Tradition, The Sacred Scriptures, and the Magisterium (the teaching authority). No one can stand without the other without resulting in heresy. The Sacred Tradition is the source and foundation of sacred scriptures (NT). So obviously you are brainwashed by the man-made tradition that opposed the Church, who twisted the scriptures (2 Peter 3:16)
@For3nity This is ALL your opinion! There is so much conflict throughout the history of the RCC, you know this is a fact? Jesus clearly told us not to follow the traditions of Man. And i already proved in scripture 3 places that Apostolic tradition was used in the past tense. So this is why Christ and Paul made it clear to not follow anything but God's Word and the Apostles alone! YOU are brain washed! Time after time "traditions" of the RCC do NOT align with Word alone! I will NEVER follow man!
@rtarasiak Agree with you. Follow the Apostles...and you can only find that in the Apostolic Church...the RCC. Pls don't be deceived. Sorry, but you are the one who follow manmade tradition. That's for sure. They have no teaching authority...and it result in tens thousands denominatioons with different belief and doctrine. And most of them belief as long as not the same with RCC, then they are justified. So they attack RCC...so pls just don't follow them.
@rtarasiak The Word is clear to you in the commandment. The Word is clear to me too. So tell me how come we have different understanding of the same Word? When you face that kind of problem, pls remember 1Tim3:15 (the Church is the pillar and foundation of truth), and also 1Cor 11:2 (clinging to Apostolic TRADITION): I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold fast to the traditions, just as I handed them on to you. Did St. Paul say hold fast to the Bible? NO. TO THE TRADITION!
@For3nity THE TRUE Church is the Pillar where Christ oalone is the Head and Chief Cornerstone per Peter! I thank GOd by His Word i am saved. You can keep earning it by your dead works, go ahead? I will rely and lean on His work on the cross expecially when He said it is finished! The ultimate "ONCE and For ALL" sacrifice is done! No need to kill Him again and again as the RCC does in the Mass! Blasphemy! There will be Hell to pay! You will be held accountable killing Christ all over again!
@rtarasiak Killing Christ over and over? You again believe in the lies of the heretic. The Mass makes Christ sacrifice PRESENT...so we remember how He died to redeem us the sinners. He defeated Satan on the cross. And what did He say in John 6? This IS My Body...this IS My Blood...take it, eat it...drink it. Do this in remembrance of Me. Satan wants you to forget the CROSS and His passion...so you will be relax...and easily deceived....and the result is spiritual dead.
@For3nity Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.Lev 7:27 'You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor shall you practice divination or soothsaying.Lev 19:26 The Disciples would have known this Law requirement and there was no doubt that Christ was speaking metaphorically!!! Wake up!! Jesus would never gone against the Law! He came to fulfill it! Thus He would not promote cannibalism. NO man "priest" has the power to transform bread or wine to actual Christ!
@rtarasiak Another out of context interpretation of the scriptures. The blood in Lev 7:27 is nothing to do with Jesus' blood. How could you despise Jesus' blood? That's blasphemy. So I would suggest you this: Just obey all Jesus' commandment including in John 6. Just to make sure you have life in you if you eat His flesh and drink His blood, as He promised. Don't listen to the devil who always tried hard to keep you away from the Eucharist.
@rtarasiak You misunderstood eating His flesh and drinking His blood as cannibalism. It's His spiritual flesh and blood that we eat and drink...and it will nourish our spirit...and give us life. So it's up to you...choose life or dead.
@For3nity I already know beyond a doubt by the Word I am saved! The RCC cannot proclaim this per the CCC. So you keep doing your works and indulgences and rosary, and sacraments. I wil ltrust Christ alone! Go ahead you better get going and get off the internet! Hurry up! Get to work! Go and kiss carved images, bow down to statues, hurry up the "priest" is waiting for you! Run!!!!!!!! Run!!!!!!!
@rtarasiak No need to be so desperate. We believe we are saved as long we keep Jesus hands and keep obeying His words. We don't believe we go to heaven and get saved if we only USE Jesus for our benefit...just to use Him for blessing, and say we believe in Him, but we indulge in the lust of the flesh and enjoy a sinful life. SO sorry, faith alone and once saved always saved are not for us. They are for the spiritually dead people who are deeply deceived by the enemy of God. May God saves you.
@For3nity The key is do this in rememberance! In Acts of the apostles the first church of Christ, Did they require a "Priest" to perform a "sacrificial Mass" The Mass didn;t exist until 500 AD! The first Church broke bread together, people who were Born again and accepted salvation thru His works, who became the Lamb of God the Passover Lamb and knew the bread represented Christ, Not actually Christ! Wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@rtarasiak The bible was talking about bishops, etc....so Christ did found His Church. He said three times to St. Peter FEED MY LAMBS. Are you in His Church? The Apostolic Church that can be traced back to the Apostles? Now since you mentioned Passover Lamb, do you know what they were supposed to do with the lambs? They were to EAT them to be saved. So now why disobeying Jesus' Words to eat His flesh so that you may have life and be raised up by Jesus on the last day? (John 6)
@For3nity I will not reply right now I have more Catholics t opreach to to come out of the RCC like my Nephew Tommy! Praise God! So I will respond with a Video in the near future! I pray that The LOrd will open yor eyes to the truth alone and be delivered from the whore of Babylon, to see that th ework was done by Christ and the sacraments are not needed for salvation..Amen! God open your eyes... love in Chrtist, Pastor Bob
@rtarasiak I will pray for you too that God will open your eyes, and lead you back home to HisTrue Church. Many experienced the same with you. They finally found their way back home. I believe that as Jesus said, He will not lose the lambs that were given by the Fathers to Him. So if you or your nephew Tommy are His lambs, then you two will be in His Church and be saved. But if you are two not His, then so sorry for you two. God Bless you.
@For3nity Also if you clearly look at the 3 scripture i gave you the original Greek of the NT. Text is past tense! Wake up! Oh but the RCC throughout history after it became corrupted has twisted scripture to appease themselves and if scripture and tradition do not complement eachother the magisteriun will override all! HA!!! Disgrace to God's Word upholding traditions of man over God's Word! I REBUKE YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS! SATAN GET OUT OF THIS MAN! AMEN!!!
@rtarasiak You don't need to rebuke me in Jesus' name. He may don't even know you. Remember LORD...LORD? But what did He say? ....Depart from Me, you who work iniquity, for I never knew you. But what did He say in John 6? If you eat My flesh, I will be in you and you in Me, and we are in the Father. So rebuke as you want....how come Jesus' name will rebuke Jesus in us? You are so funny :)
@For3nity Again 1 Tim. 2:5 ONLY ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, JESUS CHRIST! DO NOT BE DECEIVED AND COME OUT OF THE WHORE OF BABYLON. HOW MANY MORE WILL BE DECEIVED? JESUS DIED FOR MY SINS, NOT MARY, HE IS THE WAY, NOT MARY, HE IS THE TRUTH, NOT MARY! I will never trust any man nor man made religion! the true church started by the Apostles had it right! Corruption came in and is still deceiving so many today in the RCC adding and taking away from scripture! read Catechism, compare to Word!
@rtarasiak Amen to 1Tim 2:5. But you have to interpret it in context. I have told you, Jesus came to the world to make God known to us. That's the meaning of that verse. No Jesus, no mediator between man and God. And as for Jesus died for our sins we all know that. No need for you to tell us...it just makes you sound like a baby christian telling the mature ones (the Church). Thanks to the Church you know "part" of christianity. To learn the Fullness of Christianity just honestly learn from her.
@rtarasiak Yes..read the Catechism and compared to the Words. But don't forget the Words of God are found in the Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scriptures. When you do that, under the guidance of the Magisterium you will be surprised to find out that what you believe as truth so far is just heresy. So again, don't forget 1Tim 3:15. The Fullness of Truth is in the Church.
@For3nity Now there is wthe propblem, RCC elevated tradition equal or the same with God as well as the Magisterium CCC #95. RCC says they are equal. Problem! Ther Holy Spirit and Word of God bring conversion and salvation. RCC added Mag. and tradition as equal CCC #82. the Mag. which is the bishops. etc. one pope (unfallible on things of faith, etc) if Word and traqdition do NOT line up to each other then the Mag. can override! Not equal at all! 1 Tim 3:15 Truth is the Word of God of the Apostle
@For3nity RCC tries to justify and take out of context the scriptues that sdeal with "tradition" 2 Thess. 2:15, Jude 1:3, 1 Cor. 11:2 ALL are in the past tense in Greek. So it is the Apostolic tradition to hold on to! NOT Later! Jesus warns of traditions elevated like the RCC and rebuked the "religious" of His day: Matt. 15:6-9, Marl 7:8-9. So per the Bible we are told to NOT hold on to tradition if it invalidates the Word!
@For3nity So one must only TRUST God's Word, becuase of man being fallible we can only go to the scripture! Psalm 118:8-9, "Cursed is the man who trusts in man...blessed is the man who trusts in theLord..." Jer. 17:5-8 RCC says read the erly church fathers; I believe Apostle PAul talks about them in Acts 20:29-31! Jesus rebuked the religious leaders of the day! John 8:44-47, Matt 23:15. RCC is shutting out souls for tradition and its leaders Mag. and by works salv.! RCC will be held accountalbe!
@rtarasiak "And now a Pastor, i preach only God's Word and not add nor take away as the RCC! May Jesus open you eyes!"
The Church did not add nor take away the Wods of God as you falsely accused. You left the Church because you didn't know the faith. You are supposed to learn from the Church, not the Church learn from you, because biblically the Church is the pillar and foundation of truth, not you (1 Tim 3:15)
@For3nity I left because of constant contradictions in the RCC, as well as immence history of corruption and murder. As well as the Catechism teaxhes clearly that one is saved by faith+works. Again, this cotridicts scripture and Apostle Paul. So scripture reveals scripture and Christ and Paul align without contradiction. Yet the RCC and scripture does not. I will go with scripture and Christ alone. He alone is the Savior, Redeemer! He alone paid the price, not the RCC. Again RCC became corrupted
@rtarasiak We are saved by the grace of God when believe in Christ. But after that we have to do good "love" work and live for Him only. If you believe in Jesus, but live like the world, smell like the world, etc then you are of the world, and no salvation for you. Read your bible. Did Jesus say to love the world or despise it? And make sure you didn't leave the Church because you wanted to sin but still want to "feel" OK with God. That will be too sad....it's the snare of the devil.
@For3nity My fruit reveals the seed planted in me, the Word of God, my "fruit" is based on seed, NOT traditions of man. Only the Word is what delivered me out of bondage of the RCC and into a relationship with the TRUE SHepherd! Thank God! I challenge you to ask any RCC recent confirtmation receiver and see if there was any change or "fruit"? so many do not have a clue but go thru the motions because of tradition and the Mag. telling one has to earn salvation by good works and sacraments?
@For3nity Rosary, sacrificial Mass, indulgences, Christians praying for souls in purgatory, forbidding leaders of churches to marry (38 popes were married), not found in the Acts of the Apostles! How come we do not find infallible men in the 1st century church? Even the RCC's so called 1st pope Peter, rebuked by PAul publically Gal. 2:11-14. Ex: 1431 pope (acting on faith) condemns Joan af Arc, 24 yrs later another pope revoked her condemn. another pope exalts to sainthood 1920! Wow! infallible?
@For3nity The following statement is made by a Roman priest well known for his emphasis upon the necessity for personal faith in the exercise of the sacraments, yet he is careful to remind us that the sacraments are as necessary as the faith.
“In recent years the church has reiterated again and again that we are saved by faith AND the sacraments of faith. BOTH ARE NECESSARY” (J.D. Crichton, Christian Celebration: The Sacraments, p. 65).
@rtarasiak That depends on how you interpret that statement. Faith and Sacraments are necessary for salvation. WHY? No question for faith. As for sacraments of course they are necessary. Baptism, biblically we need. Eucharist and Confession, biblically we need (they help us improve in holiness, if we take them seriously), etc, etc. All the sacraments help us to always live for God and maintain our good relationship with Him. To me we show our faith by taking all the sacraments seriously.
“All children of the Church should nevertheless remember that their exalted condition results, not from their own merits, but from the grace of Christ. If they fail to respond in thought, word and deed to that grace, not only shall they not be saved, but they shall be the more severely judged” (Vatican II, Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 2, 14, p. 337).It is a subtle and unscriptural MIXTURE OF GRACE PLUS WORKS that is severely condemned in Galatians 1:6-8.
@rtarasiak Gal1:6-8? And what St.Paul asked them to do? 1 Tim 3:15 They are to believe that the Church is the pillar and foundation of truth. 2Thes 2:15. Stand fast and hold the tradition.
And agree with Vatican II....We believe we are saved by God's grace...but then we have to respond that faith in living a life God's way. Otherwise, we are not loving or respecting God...we merely use God for our own benefit. The more we know a law, the more we will be punished if we violate it. That simple.
@For3nity AGAIN> You are not hermenuetically interpreting scripture! The text is talking in the past tense. For example: 1 Cor. 11:2, and 2 Thess. 2:15. "taught" and "delivered" are clear in th Greek text of the past tense! Go to bible school and then come back to me when you are ready? God bless!!!!
@rtarasiak So what if 1 Cor 11:2 and 2Thess 2:15 the word taught and delivered are in past tense. In fact they must be in the past tense. So the meaning is still remain the same: you are to hold on to the Apostolic Tradition which was found only in the Catholic Church, the mother of all Christian churches. Believing other than that, you disobey the words of God and twist it to yur own destruction as warned by St. Peter in 2 Peter 3:16.
I converted from Calvinizm to Catholicism. Because our Savior, Jesus Christ is with the Catholic Church. This is the truth and undeniable. If you are ouside the Catholic Chuch and denounce the Catholic faith, it is apparent that you just envy the Catholic Church. No matter how hard you try to criticize the Catholic Church, it will be the main stream of Christianity eternally as it has been since the very time of its foundation by the hand of Jesus Christ.
I hoping to convert to the Catholicism. I have been in church all my life, but its not the same. I have never felt happy in my protestant church. I went to a Catholic church and felt a sense of peace. IMy family is protestant and my mother does not want me to become a Catholic, but as soon as I leave for college I will become a Catholic.
Hope you the best! There's a lot to study! Both in College and in the History and Theology of The Church! Study well!! Catholics must be educated very well!!
@10davjul im in that same position, except i just started college a year ago. My mother has openly admitted that she is anti-catholic in the sense that she doesn't understand or wish to understand some of the things that Catholics do. She doesn't want me to become Catholic but she realised that it is MY desision and has given me her blessing. Thankfully, the college I attend, Creighton University, is a jesuit college. :) Anyways, God Bless and be with you!
go for it it will change your life trust me i am telling you this cause i am a very strict catholic i practice my religion every day and you will see that we are the true church of jesus christ we come together as one church in christ and the bread and wine is really transformed into the body and blood of christ trust it will change your life god bless and good luck in your conversion and welcome to our family welcome home brother
This touches on one little criticism I have about the Church. I wasn't catechised as I should have been when I was younger, and that left me vulnerable to a lot of doubts and intellectual assaults growing up. It wasn't until I was an adult and I started reading 2000 years' worth of Catholic theology and spirituality that I really began to appreciate what I so stupidly left behind in college. There's so much to the Church that it's truely divinely instituted.
I wasn't either. I was a cradle Catholic and took advantage of my faith without truly knowing the 'why'. As I learn more and more, it strengthens my faith.
I experienced the same. I'm also a cradle Catholic, but it wasn't until I was about 14 years old I started to take my faith seriously, i.e. I began filling my brain with the catechesis and now at 28 years old, I haven't looked back!
me too! I'm basically self-taught but at the same time I made the choice to be Catholic, nobody forced me to do it. My parents are very devout and some of my siblings are too, but i never felt like my family wouldn't accept me if I left the Church, and that's what free will, one of the greatest gifts the Father gave us, is all about. Peace of Christ +

@rtarasiak Christ paid the sacrifice once for all...bu He commanded us in John 6 to eat His flesh and drink His blood as remembrance for His sacrifice. The Catholic Church obeys this very important commandment so we have the communion (Eucharist) to remember His sacrifice. But Satan wants us to forget that, and use all the means to keep you away from Christ Body and Blood. No wonder, because he is the father of all lies.

@rtarasiak And what did Jesus say when He broke the bread? This IS my body. This IS my blood. Take it, eat it, drink it, and I will raise you up on the last day. If you just broke the bread, you remembered the bread only, not Jesus Body and Blood (His sacrifice and passion on the cross). You don't understand the meaning of breaking the bread as done by the Apostles, because you follow the man-made tradition. Whereas the Church knows what it really means because of the Apostolic Tradition.

@rtarasiak And when you go deep in history, you will know the ones who died for Christ are the members of the Catholic Church, and Mary did accompany them. So if you want to follow them, follow the Apostolic Church, the one that is founded by Jesus. Do not follow the one founded by man.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness"; 20 and again, "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile." 21 Therefore let no one boast in men 1 Cor 3:19-21 (NKJV). Do not boast in the Pope, nor Mary, nor me, nor anybody except Christ who guarantees salvation by His free gift of grace NOT by works nor the RCC. Only Christ gurantees salvation by His work! Not ours! Works come after being born-again, saved

@rtarasiak Amen to1Cor 3:19-21. And Amen that we are not to boast in the Pope, Mary or others except Christ. It's the teaching of the Catholic Church.
But the salvation is a free gift when we were still sinners we accept Jesus as our lord and Savior. But after that we have to live our lives for HIm only, by growing in holiness and do good work. Fail to do that, we worship Him with our lips only, and we are not worthy of Him if we love anything more than Him.

@rtarasiak The Catholic Church is historically the only Apostolic Church. The other churches are manmade churches that exist not until yrs 1517, when the ex Catholic ML rebelled against the Catholic Church. The CCC is based on the Sacred Scriptures and Sacred "Apostolic" Tradition. Sacred "Apostolic" Tradition was the source of the NT Sacred Scriptures. Not all Words of God taught in the Sacred "Apostolic" Tradition were written in the NT Sacred Scriptures.

Thus one makes a decision to be born-again. A baby cannot make a decision? Infant baptism is not in the Bible!

@rtarasiak Infant baptism is biblical. Luke 1:13: ..and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
Luke 18:15-17: Now they were bringing even INFANTS to him that he might touch them; ...But Jesus called them to him, saying, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them;
Acts 16:31: And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your HOUSEHOLD."
1 Corinthians 1:16: I did baptize also the HOUSEHOLD of Stephanas.

@rtarasiak Infant baptism. In addition to Luke 1:13, Luke 18:15-17, Act 16:31. 1 Cor 1:16 have you considered Luke 2:21 and Col 2:11-12?. At what age was Jesus circumcised?...Do you know the meaning of the circumcision? Or why a baby had to be circumcised? Why circumcised since the baby also knew nothing? How St. Paul related circumcision with baptism? Also do you know about "Sacrament of Confirmation" in the Catholic Church?. By now I hope you can see why infant baptism is biblical.

@For3nity You are NOT expositorily interpretating scripture correctly in context! Please go to school and learn this, then come back and we can then properly and hermenuetically interpret scripture? I also recommend taking a Biblical Greek and Hebrew class which will help you to expose the word properly. Otherwise I am wasting my time with you. I have made clear points within the context of scripture and you do not see this because you have the mindset of the RCC. One must remove the bias to see

@For3nity Circumcism of the heart is what Apostle Paul is talking about, not the flesh. A baby cannot understand what Batism is all about. The Greek word is Baptizmo which is total immersion in water. John the Baptist performed baptizmo to people of accountability, not to a baby who undertands nothing! Infant baptism is not clearly within text in the bible! so please do not interpret text or twist scripture to fit your bias. thank you. I was "confirmed" in the RCC, did nothing for me! RCC is sad

@rtarasiak Faith without work is dead. We are saved by grace thru faith in Jesus. That's what the Church teaches us. But when we have faith in Jesus, we are to obey all His commands, repent from all our sins, and live for God only as a new creation in Christ Jesus. Praying to Mary or the Saints is only a reflection of how we honor God by honoring all that have good relationship with Him. When we honor and love them, we will be automatically "motivated" to be like them in loving God.

@rtarasiak Christ is the only ONE mediator between Man and God. Sure. That's the teaching of Catholic Church.
Jesus came to the world as an image of the unseen God. We know God because of the True Man Jesus.That's the meaning of that verse. It's ridiculous for the True God Jesus to intercede to God. When Mary interceded at wedding at Cana she interceded to Jesus as Man and God. So what's the difference now when she intercedes to the True Man and True God Jesus in heaven?

When you face that kind of problem, pls remember 1Tim3:15 (the Church is the pillar and foundation of truth), and also 1Cor 11:2 (clinging to Apostolic TRADITION): I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold fast to the traditions, just as I handed them on to you. Did St. Paul say hold fast to the Bible? NO. TO THE TRADITION!

@For3nity THE TRUE Church is the Pillar where Christ oalone is the Head and Chief Cornerstone per Peter! I thank GOd by His Word i am saved. You can keep earning it by your dead works, go ahead? I will rely and lean on His work on the cross expecially when He said it is finished! The ultimate "ONCE and For ALL" sacrifice is done! No need to kill Him again and again as the RCC does in the Mass! Blasphemy! There will be Hell to pay! You will be held accountable killing Christ all over again!
rtarasiak 11 months ago
@rtarasiak Killing Christ over and over? You again believe in the lies of the heretic. The Mass makes Christ sacrifice PRESENT...so we remember how He died to redeem us the sinners. He defeated Satan on the cross. And what did He say in John 6? This IS My Body...this IS My Blood...take it, eat it...drink it. Do this in remembrance of Me. Satan wants you to forget the CROSS and His passion...so you will be relax...and easily deceived....and the result is spiritual dead.

@For3nity Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.Lev 7:27 'You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor shall you practice divination or soothsaying.Lev 19:26 The Disciples would have known this Law requirement and there was no doubt that Christ was speaking metaphorically!!! Wake up!! Jesus would never gone against the Law! He came to fulfill it! Thus He would not promote cannibalism. NO man "priest" has the power to transform bread or wine to actual Christ!
rtarasiak 11 months ago
@rtarasiak Another out of context interpretation of the scriptures. The blood in Lev 7:27 is nothing to do with Jesus' blood. How could you despise Jesus' blood? That's blasphemy. So I would suggest you this: Just obey all Jesus' commandment including in John 6. Just to make sure you have life in you if you eat His flesh and drink His blood, as He promised. Don't listen to the devil who always tried hard to keep you away from the Eucharist.
For3nity 11 months ago
@rtarasiak You misunderstood eating His flesh and drinking His blood as cannibalism. It's His spiritual flesh and blood that we eat and drink...and it will nourish our spirit...and give us life. So it's up to you...choose life or dead.
For3nity 11 months ago
@For3nity I already know beyond a doubt by the Word I am saved! The RCC cannot proclaim this per the CCC. So you keep doing your works and indulgences and rosary, and sacraments. I wil ltrust Christ alone! Go ahead you better get going and get off the internet! Hurry up! Get to work! Go and kiss carved images, bow down to statues, hurry up the "priest" is waiting for you! Run!!!!!!!! Run!!!!!!!
rtarasiak 11 months ago
@rtarasiak No need to be so desperate. We believe we are saved as long we keep Jesus hands and keep obeying His words. We don't believe we go to heaven and get saved if we only USE Jesus for our benefit...just to use Him for blessing, and say we believe in Him, but we indulge in the lust of the flesh and enjoy a sinful life. SO sorry, faith alone and once saved always saved are not for us. They are for the spiritually dead people who are deeply deceived by the enemy of God. May God saves you.

@For3nity The key is do this in rememberance! In Acts of the apostles the first church of Christ, Did they require a "Priest" to perform a "sacrificial Mass" The Mass didn;t exist until 500 AD! The first Church broke bread together, people who were Born again and accepted salvation thru His works, who became the Lamb of God the Passover Lamb and knew the bread represented Christ, Not actually Christ! Wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
rtarasiak 11 months ago
@rtarasiak The bible was talking about bishops, etc....so Christ did found His Church. He said three times to St. Peter FEED MY LAMBS. Are you in His Church? The Apostolic Church that can be traced back to the Apostles? Now since you mentioned Passover Lamb, do you know what they were supposed to do with the lambs? They were to EAT them to be saved. So now why disobeying Jesus' Words to eat His flesh so that you may have life and be raised up by Jesus on the last day? (John 6)

God open your eyes... love in Chrtist, Pastor Bob

@rtarasiak I will pray for you too that God will open your eyes, and lead you back home to HisTrue Church. Many experienced the same with you. They finally found their way back home. I believe that as Jesus said, He will not lose the lambs that were given by the Fathers to Him. So if you or your nephew Tommy are His lambs, then you two will be in His Church and be saved. But if you are two not His, then so sorry for you two. God Bless you.

@For3nity Also if you clearly look at the 3 scripture i gave you the original Greek of the NT. Text is past tense! Wake up! Oh but the RCC throughout history after it became corrupted has twisted scripture to appease themselves and if scripture and tradition do not complement eachother the magisteriun will override all! HA!!! Disgrace to God's Word upholding traditions of man over God's Word! I REBUKE YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS! SATAN GET OUT OF THIS MAN! AMEN!!!

@rtarasiak You don't need to rebuke me in Jesus' name. He may don't even know you. Remember LORD...LORD? But what did He say? ....Depart from Me, you who work iniquity, for I never knew you. But what did He say in John 6? If you eat My flesh, I will be in you and you in Me, and we are in the Father. So rebuke as you want....how come Jesus' name will rebuke Jesus in us? You are so funny :)

@For3nity Again 1 Tim. 2:5 ONLY ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, JESUS CHRIST! DO NOT BE DECEIVED AND COME OUT OF THE WHORE OF BABYLON. HOW MANY MORE WILL BE DECEIVED? JESUS DIED FOR MY SINS, NOT MARY, HE IS THE WAY, NOT MARY, HE IS THE TRUTH, NOT MARY! I will never trust any man nor man made religion! the true church started by the Apostles had it right! Corruption came in and is still deceiving so many today in the RCC adding and taking away from scripture! read Catechism, compare to Word!
rtarasiak 11 months ago
@rtarasiak Amen to 1Tim 2:5. But you have to interpret it in context. I have told you, Jesus came to the world to make God known to us. That's the meaning of that verse. No Jesus, no mediator between man and God. And as for Jesus died for our sins we all know that. No need for you to tell us...it just makes you sound like a baby christian telling the mature ones (the Church). Thanks to the Church you know "part" of christianity. To learn the Fullness of Christianity just honestly learn from her.
For3nity 11 months ago
@rtarasiak Yes..read the Catechism and compared to the Words. But don't forget the Words of God are found in the Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scriptures. When you do that, under the guidance of the Magisterium you will be surprised to find out that what you believe as truth so far is just heresy. So again, don't forget 1Tim 3:15. The Fullness of Truth is in the Church.
For3nity 11 months ago
@For3nity Now there is wthe propblem, RCC elevated tradition equal or the same with God as well as the Magisterium CCC #95. RCC says they are equal. Problem! Ther Holy Spirit and Word of God bring conversion and salvation. RCC added Mag. and tradition as equal CCC #82. the Mag. which is the bishops. etc. one pope (unfallible on things of faith, etc) if Word and traqdition do NOT line up to each other then the Mag. can override! Not equal at all! 1 Tim 3:15 Truth is the Word of God of the Apostle
rtarasiak 11 months ago
@For3nity RCC tries to justify and take out of context the scriptues that sdeal with "tradition" 2 Thess. 2:15, Jude 1:3, 1 Cor. 11:2 ALL are in the past tense in Greek. So it is the Apostolic tradition to hold on to! NOT Later! Jesus warns of traditions elevated like the RCC and rebuked the "religious" of His day: Matt. 15:6-9, Marl 7:8-9. So per the Bible we are told to NOT hold on to tradition if it invalidates the Word!
rtarasiak 11 months ago
@For3nity So one must only TRUST God's Word, becuase of man being fallible we can only go to the scripture! Psalm 118:8-9, "Cursed is the man who trusts in man...blessed is the man who trusts in theLord..." Jer. 17:5-8 RCC says read the erly church fathers; I believe Apostle PAul talks about them in Acts 20:29-31! Jesus rebuked the religious leaders of the day! John 8:44-47, Matt 23:15. RCC is shutting out souls for tradition and its leaders Mag. and by works salv.! RCC will be held accountalbe!

@rtarasiak "And now a Pastor, i preach only God's Word and not add nor take away as the RCC! May Jesus open you eyes!"
The Church did not add nor take away the Wods of God as you falsely accused. You left the Church because you didn't know the faith. You are supposed to learn from the Church, not the Church learn from you, because biblically the Church is the pillar and foundation of truth, not you (1 Tim 3:15)
For3nity 11 months ago
@For3nity I left because of constant contradictions in the RCC, as well as immence history of corruption and murder. As well as the Catechism teaxhes clearly that one is saved by faith+works. Again, this cotridicts scripture and Apostle Paul. So scripture reveals scripture and Christ and Paul align without contradiction. Yet the RCC and scripture does not. I will go with scripture and Christ alone. He alone is the Savior, Redeemer! He alone paid the price, not the RCC. Again RCC became corrupted
rtarasiak 11 months ago
@rtarasiak We are saved by the grace of God when believe in Christ. But after that we have to do good "love" work and live for Him only. If you believe in Jesus, but live like the world, smell like the world, etc then you are of the world, and no salvation for you. Read your bible. Did Jesus say to love the world or despise it? And make sure you didn't leave the Church because you wanted to sin but still want to "feel" OK with God. That will be too sad....it's the snare of the devil.

@For3nity My fruit reveals the seed planted in me, the Word of God, my "fruit" is based on seed, NOT traditions of man. Only the Word is what delivered me out of bondage of the RCC and into a relationship with the TRUE SHepherd! Thank God! I challenge you to ask any RCC recent confirtmation receiver and see if there was any change or "fruit"? so many do not have a clue but go thru the motions because of tradition and the Mag. telling one has to earn salvation by good works and sacraments?
rtarasiak 11 months ago
@For3nity Rosary, sacrificial Mass, indulgences, Christians praying for souls in purgatory, forbidding leaders of churches to marry (38 popes were married), not found in the Acts of the Apostles! How come we do not find infallible men in the 1st century church? Even the RCC's so called 1st pope Peter, rebuked by PAul publically Gal. 2:11-14. Ex: 1431 pope (acting on faith) condemns Joan af Arc, 24 yrs later another pope revoked her condemn. another pope exalts to sainthood 1920! Wow! infallible?

@For3nity The following statement is made by a Roman priest well known for his emphasis upon the necessity for personal faith in the exercise of the sacraments, yet he is careful to remind us that the sacraments are as necessary as the faith.
“In recent years the church has reiterated again and again that we are saved by faith AND the sacraments of faith. BOTH ARE NECESSARY” (J.D. Crichton, Christian Celebration: The Sacraments, p. 65).
rtarasiak 11 months ago
@rtarasiak That depends on how you interpret that statement. Faith and Sacraments are necessary for salvation. WHY? No question for faith. As for sacraments of course they are necessary. Baptism, biblically we need. Eucharist and Confession, biblically we need (they help us improve in holiness, if we take them seriously), etc, etc. All the sacraments help us to always live for God and maintain our good relationship with Him. To me we show our faith by taking all the sacraments seriously.

@For3nity Vatican II:
“All children of the Church should nevertheless remember that their exalted condition results, not from their own merits, but from the grace of Christ. If they fail to respond in thought, word and deed to that grace, not only shall they not be saved, but they shall be the more severely judged” (Vatican II, Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 2, 14, p. 337).It is a subtle and unscriptural MIXTURE OF GRACE PLUS WORKS that is severely condemned in Galatians 1:6-8.
rtarasiak 11 months ago
@rtarasiak Gal1:6-8? And what St.Paul asked them to do? 1 Tim 3:15 They are to believe that the Church is the pillar and foundation of truth. 2Thes 2:15. Stand fast and hold the tradition.
And agree with Vatican II....We believe we are saved by God's grace...but then we have to respond that faith in living a life God's way. Otherwise, we are not loving or respecting God...we merely use God for our own benefit. The more we know a law, the more we will be punished if we violate it. That simple.
For3nity 11 months ago
@For3nity AGAIN> You are not hermenuetically interpreting scripture! The text is talking in the past tense. For example: 1 Cor. 11:2, and 2 Thess. 2:15. "taught" and "delivered" are clear in th Greek text of the past tense! Go to bible school and then come back to me when you are ready? God bless!!!!
rtarasiak 11 months ago
@rtarasiak So what if 1 Cor 11:2 and 2Thess 2:15 the word taught and delivered are in past tense. In fact they must be in the past tense. So the meaning is still remain the same: you are to hold on to the Apostolic Tradition which was found only in the Catholic Church, the mother of all Christian churches. Believing other than that, you disobey the words of God and twist it to yur own destruction as warned by St. Peter in 2 Peter 3:16.

I converted from Calvinizm to Catholicism. Because our Savior, Jesus Christ is with the Catholic Church. This is the truth and undeniable. If you are ouside the Catholic Chuch and denounce the Catholic faith, it is apparent that you just envy the Catholic Church. No matter how hard you try to criticize the Catholic Church, it will be the main stream of Christianity eternally as it has been since the very time of its foundation by the hand of Jesus Christ.

This touches on one little criticism I have about the Church. I wasn't catechised as I should have been when I was younger, and that left me vulnerable to a lot of doubts and intellectual assaults growing up. It wasn't until I was an adult and I started reading 2000 years' worth of Catholic theology and spirituality that I really began to appreciate what I so stupidly left behind in college. There's so much to the Church that it's truely divinely instituted.

I wasn't either. I was a cradle Catholic and took advantage of my faith without truly knowing the 'why'. As I learn more and more, it strengthens my faith.
pacific5crush 2 years ago 14
I experienced the same. I'm also a cradle Catholic, but it wasn't until I was about 14 years old I started to take my faith seriously, i.e. I began filling my brain with the catechesis and now at 28 years old, I haven't looked back!

me too! I'm basically self-taught but at the same time I made the choice to be Catholic, nobody forced me to do it. My parents are very devout and some of my siblings are too, but i never felt like my family wouldn't accept me if I left the Church, and that's what free will, one of the greatest gifts the Father gave us, is all about.
