@bereanbaconettes It's interesting to see how many varieties of "Catholics" there are with you as another who doesn't like poor Monsignor Jordan. You, as a so-called Catholic, think Ed is a poor one while the Diocese in Austin, TX thinks he's great! Which "Catholic" do I believe, you or Ed? What about Catholics who want priests to be able to get married like everyone else in the world? That would cut down on the 50% of all Romanist priests being homosexuals, right? We've done a debate with Akin.
@hockeyrulesus Just because other so-called "Christians" are practicing pedophiles does NOT justify the Roman Catholic Church for its large population of homosexual priests & their extensive pedophilia. Jesus Himself said most people who claimed to be Christians were actually not (Matthew 7:13-23). The Romanist cult does NOT convict its pedophile priests, it REASSIGNS them! Take for example the case of Romanist priest Lawrence C. Murphy who served at St John's School for the Deaf in Wisconsin.
@CAnswersTV The ONLY Meaning of 666 is a christian that Lacks of doctrine of the church not doctrine of the books, GOD establish a church not a book or bible...BASING only in the BIBLE is a devil biggest advocacy...
@shemae25 You're theologically insane! Why are you talking about "666," "God," "church," "devil," when all these terms are in the Bible? If you DON'T BELIEVE what the Bible teaches then why bother bringing up BIBLICAL TERMS? How do you even know what a "church" is unless you go to a source to define it? Would you define "devil", for instance, based on what the Bible says about "devil" or would you go to something else like the Islamic Qu'ran to define this term? Or, are you saying YOU are God?
@apopyalips Yes thanks I agree. James was talking about a living faith, a faith that changes the believer. However it doesn't nullify Roman 6 at all. As the Faith makes us born again, but being born again brings about our will to do good works. If that makes sense. If you have discussion with catholics alot, Look up Ron Rhodes (reasoning from the scriptures with catholics) at your local christian books store. It's helped me alot. God Bless
@apopyalips No Problem Brother, apology accepted and I accepted your friend request thanks for the subscribtion. I understand the frustration, you have with the heresy bombs on catholics sometimes.lol
@apopyalips Mate checking out your channel, why are you angry at me the favorites you have on there is all pro-protestant? I wasn't boasting mate merely expalining to a catholic how James doesn't say to be saved through works, but just how a real faith looks like. I'd say I'm great, I didn't say I'm perfect. Are you being lead by the Holy spirit?throwing personal insults at fellow christians defending their faith on Youtube? Peace Brother, may you have Love.
@apopyalips How is saying good works result form a true faith, boasting? The faith in Christ, by putting their trust in him justifies them. But only a true faith and as James makes it clear, a true faith shows good works, Sanctification.Orginised religion cannot justify you.I ask why not just follow Judaism then or did Jesus make a new RELIGION by which to be saved, or did he just furfill an old one?He furfilled the law so that you are saved by faith and then uphold the law thereafter.
@apopyalips How does you reasoning disprove the essense of the message. You are corect James was talking about good works, yes giving instead of talking, being kind to your neighbour.This is what results from a true faith.I'm not baosting, I'm greatful for christ as my works can't save me. not even sacraments. Ordinances reminds us of salvation.Eg. Baptism and Lord's supper.But we are good to others from being saved by God's loving kindness.
@hockeyrulesus James 2 was already explained as showing the resutls of a true faith. You are still justified through faith. The answer you gave me almost goes agaisnt any reason to follow teh sacraments.I'm not igonorant of what your church teaches and know then that you only say your save by faith, when cornerned. Portestant teach that a true faith saves, one which is reborn.The faith justifies and the good works results.If no good works, maybe their is only lip service not faith.
@tdmavens You could not be more wrong in your conclusion about the devil hating the Roman Catholic Church. Romanism, like Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. is just another Satanic masterpiece of Spiritual deception. The devil would necessarily, by inference, "love" the Romanist institution of religious works righteousness because it replaces true saving faith in Christ alone apart from works (Ephesians 2:8-10). Rather than God sovereignly choosing His elect (Romans 9) men work for it instead.
@CAnswersTV That's funny, we feel the same of Protestantism, founded by master deceivers Luther, Calvin and the rest.
As far as Faith Alone. the correct teaching is Faith and Works. "So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself. But some man will say: You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without works; and I will show you, by works, my faith. You believe that there is one God. You do well: the devils also believe and tremble." James2:16-19. Devils have Faith alone.
@CAnswersTV Catholics do not believe they can work their way into becoming among the elect. In Ephesians 2 it is very clear that both grace and faith are entirely unmerited. They are a gift of God, yes! But see how in verse 10, St. Paul makes it clear that works are something we must do when he says that "we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works." Doesn't that mean that works have at least some kind of role?
@tdmavens When dealing with "Roman Catholics" you run into a wide variety of theological belief systems. Many Romanists have commented that they disagree with the Monsignor in this video even though he is the official representative for the Diocese of Austin, Texas thus authorized to represent the accurate view of Romanist beliefs. Please see the 2 hour debate on YOUTUBE between ROBERT FASTIGGI & LARRY WESSELS for clarification. Christians are SAVED FIRST then do WORKS but not to keep salvation.
@CAnswersTV First, a Monsignor is not "the official representative" for a given Diocese. In fact, a Diocese can have a number of Monsignors. The official representative for a Diocese is a Bishop. Second, when answering my question about the role of works in our salvation, you tell what they're NOT for, but will you please tell me what works ARE for? Thank you for your time.
@tdmavens First, you're "officially" wrong in your claim that Monsignor Ed Jordan was not the "official" REPRESENTATIVE of the Diocese of Austin, Texas since he WAS approved by the presiding BISHOP for the debate. Don't make claims you know nothing about. You're simply making an ignorant claim but pretending as if you know something. Next, WORKS are NOT done to accomplish salvation as Romanism teaches (merits, etc) but are lovingly done by those ALREADY PERMANENTLY SAVED BEFORE WORKS (Rom 9).
@CAnswersTV Just because someone is approved by the Bishop for the debate does not make him the official representative. A representative? Sure, but certainly not the representative. And again, please tell me what works ARE for. You have simply told me what works are not for (i.e. "WORKS are NOT done to accomplish salvation"), and you have told me how works are done (i.e. "lovingly done by those ALREADY PERMANENTLY SAVED BEFORE WORKS"). Oh, and which verse of Romans 9 says "permanently?" Thx.
@tdmavens You're an idiot concerning the "Diocese of Austin, Texas"! Have you been a member of the Dioces of Austin, Texas? "Never" is likely your response, right? Well then, Monsignor Jordan is THE OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DIOCESE OF AUSTIN, TX for this debate, not you or someone else, get it? W0RKS demonstrate inner love in an outward form (Galatians 5:6), they are an example to others (1 Tim 2:10), they bring glory to God (Mt 5:16, 1 Ptr 2:12). "Permanently" implied in Romans 9:11-13.
Part 1 Mr. Zins I am not surprised how disingenuous you are when it comes to the Catholic church . After listening to you spew out your false dialectic one would think that the Catholic Church is not biblical. Whoever has taken the time to listen to your video will think of you as being genuinely sincere . But in truth you are you are more willing to cause division by maligning the church with your prevarications.
@triumphalismRC You don't seem to like Rob! You make claims that he is not telling the truth but you don't say how & where he is lying. Could you please give us some examples of what you are talking about? Just as we've been able to lead many out of Jehovah's Witnesses by simply revealing what they themselves teach in their own publications it's likewise easy to expose Romanism for what it is by it's own teachings & actions. Roman sources say 50% of their priests are homosexuals, that says alot!
Act 10:3 This man saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him and saying to him: Cornelius.
Act 10:4 And he, beholding him. being seized with fear, said: What is it, Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of
My like or dislike of Rob is not the issue I am greatly saddened by people like Rob who claim to speak for God. Who are willing to quote Sacred Scripture as if they were an infallible source of scriptural knowledge! I particularly like the way after the Monsignor is done speaking you immediately cut away and start quoting scripture . As if to say look these things don’t add up. Do you think that is fair? The Monsignor is never given a chance to defend the Roman Catholics Church position.
@triumphalismRC Your problem is you're responding to a short 10 minute clip from the actual 1 hour debate (YOUTUBE, because we are not "grandfathered" into their system has only allowed us to post 10 minute shows). Why don't you go to GOOGLE VIDEO or YAHOO VIDEO (once on their homepage type LARRY WESSELS in their search box) & then watch the full 1 hour DEBATE WITH A MONSIGNOR instead of complaining. "Fair" has nothing to do with this issue, 10 minutes is simply not enough time, get it?
@CAnswersTV I want to know why they snicker at the end regarding the Msr. not being "limited to Scripture." It would seem to me that the hosts of this show think that he should be limited to Scripture. It seems to me that they subscribe to the notion of the Bible alone as the sole rule of faith. Why do they think the Bible is the sole rule of faith?
@tdmavens Your conclusion on this particular matter of "snickering" is fairly accurate. The hosts of the show do believe that all matters of Christian faith & practice are limited to the Bible alone & nothing else (particularly the fact that man-made traditions of men are a demonic technique to overthrow the written Word of God as stated by Jesus in Matthew 15:2-6 & Mark 7:3-13). Jesus, the apostles, & prophets say the Scripture are our only rule (see our SPIRITUAL WARFARE #2 here on YOUTUBE).
@CAnswersTV So, who are these Roman sources that claim 1/2 of the 400,000 priests in the world are gay? I won't accept personal opinions of anti Catholic writers, they must be from the Church as you claim.
Also, Tell me more about what we're taught. I'm sure you own a Catechism of the Catholic Church.
@hockeyrulesus So only church propaganda is truth? James speaks of the result of a true faith is good works, thus just saying you have faith or knowing there is a God isn't a real trust is Jesus and thus not a real faith. But Faith that saves is one that trust in Jesus and thus results in good works. So once again it is not the works that saves, but the faith that leads to the works. There is no mention of a gain in merit for the works, but rather that it shows faith.
@1brandwag That's fine....Catholics also believe it is Faith that saves us. If the good works don't matter, we have that faith part covered, thank you.
@hockeyrulesus This is a worthless answer to anyone who truly understands Roman Catholic theology. I don't expect this "hockeyrulesus" idolator to give a straight answer since his purpose is to mislead the public as to true Romanist faith & practice. Readers, however, can go to the 2 hour debate right here on Youtube, between Romanist scholar Dr Robert Fastiggi & Christian Answers director Larry Wessels entitled, "Is Catholicism Another Gospel? A Debate." See also ROB ZINS & RICHARD BENNETT.
@hockeyrulesus I'm not sure how much longer I'll waste time with you since Paul says in Titus 3:10-11, "A man that is a heretick after the first & second admonition reject; knowing that he that is such is subverted, & sinneth, being condemned of himself." Looking at your Youtube account it is full of "graven images" (a violation of Exodus 20:4-5) & your very Youtube account name "hockeyrulesus" shows your devotion a sport rather than God. "The Rite of Sodomy" gives you plenty of references.
Wow! This man has totally twisted what the Priest said!! Disgraceful!! I didn’t see him questioning the Priest at the time of the conversation! This guy has had to go away, seriously think, and then attempt to find faults to back up HIS ideologies…. You could name 100 verses!?!? GO ON THEN…. Isn’t that a LIE???
@NuttyPope I apologize but I can't quite follow what you are trying to say. Who is "this man" that you are talking about? What specifically was "totally twisted" (please give exact details of WHAT was twisted & how it was twisted)? What is this "100 verses" you are talking about? By the way, Roman Catholic sources say half of all Roman Catholic priests are pedophiles & homosexuals who in many cases have abused children. Do you agree with the priests?
@CAnswersTV Can you give me the source of the claim that 50% of all Priests are Gay? If a priest admits he's gay, he is kicked out of the Church, so, this is very interesting to me.
@hockeyrulesus This is a good question & deserves to be answered. The Roman church does not "kick out" their gay priests, bishops, cardinals, & popes & never has & probably never will (too many). For starters read THE RITE OF SODOMY: HOMOSEXUALITY AND THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH by Roman Catholic scholar Randy Engel, 1300 pages. Page 1157 says, "There can be no question that Pope Paul VI's homosexuality was instrumental in the paradigm shift that saw the rise of the Homosexual Collective ..."
@hockeyrulesus The subject "Rite to Sodomy" is more about politics and history, so to be able to research history is sufficient for researching such a subject.
@hockeyrulesus We've done the RESEARCH FIRST, the book is documented! In fact most of the common people throughout the literate & industrialized nations (with newspapers, magazines, internet, etc) already know about the pedophile Roman Catholic priesthood (the Roman priesthood is a violation of 1 Timothy 4:1-3 by the way) through their normal news media (for example, besides NEWSWEEK, TIME, TV NEWS, read the YAHOO NEWS article by ASSOCIATED PRESS (4/9/2010) FUTURE POPE STALLED PEDOPHILE CASE.
The more i hear catholics talk the confusing it becomes..they say one thing and then mean another...what, do they try to please everybody? and then condem everybody if they don't believe in their religion.
@shanana000 You make a very good point! The Roman Catholic religion since the Vatican II Council of the mid-1960s has adopted a policy of accepting everyone & their religious beliefs without qualification, even Atheists! Yet, it someone questions their authority for saying they are the only true church on the face of the earth then they DON'T like that!
What I find most interesting about catholics is that they claim the RCC has the authority and not the Bible. Yet, when you ask them how they can prove the RCC has the authority, they quote the Bible! Circle reasoning. You can't have it both ways.
I continue to be amazed! It's his belief that any one can be saved even if they are christian or not? What? Is he also saying you can go to heaven w/the sacraments and support of the community? What? he claims he reads scripture and studies it,then why can;t he quote it?
That's because they DON'T KNOW THE BIBLE, don't believe it is inspired because They are NOT Born-Again - remember ... the carnal mind cannot conceive the things of the Spirit because they don't understand spiritual things.
He says they read the Bible but the POPE & Cathechism is the final authority NOT the Bible!!!
REMEMBER EVEN THE DEVIL BELIEVED IN JESUS - who IS The Word!
@ONLYthroughTHECROSS UR right,it is so obvious the flaws in this so-called religion,but,they will believe what is told to them,and has been for centuries,Makes no difference if it contradicts the Bible,after all they have "extra beliefs" that are not Biblical at all. I'm afraid they won't see the truth,but, there is still hope! I hope!
It is sad that you base all your comments and statements on your anti-catholic and full of predjudices views.
Those who have search the truth with a humble heart and honesty, find the TRUTH,
Knowing Bible passages will not save you, judging 2000 years of Jesus Church, will not save you
If you believe the Bible is the Word of God, it is not because the Bible says it, the Coram says it too, you believe it because the Catholic Church told you, now you reject the Church
mjmenjivar, your entire commentary is based on pure logical fallacies. Your 1st sentence is the logical fallacy known as AD HOMINEM rather than dealing with the issues & facts. Your second is BEGGING THE QUESTION & is also refuted Biblically (Romans 3:10-18). Your 3rd is GLITTERING GENERALITIES proving nothing. Your fourth is made up of several fallacies known as POST HOC FALLACY, INAPPROPRIATE AUTHORITY, & BEGGING THE QUESTION. This is simply to say that your argumentation is worthless.
"ebolingUtube" you wouldn't be saying the things you're saying here if you truly understood the Bible. What you need to do is go to our website BibleQuery org which answers 7700 Bible questions & then perhaps you will start learning what the Bible actually teaches. The monsignor (which means "My Lord") believes what Rome's "Vatican II" document says, not what the Bible says. "Vatican II" says even atheists can & will be saved proving what Ed Jordan's claims but that's not what the Bible says.
Your incorrect sir, I have read the Vatican II Catechism and the Documents of Vatican II, it says nothing of the sort. Simply because you reject the faith of the apostles doesn't give you a right to distort the teachings of the Church.
You "AbdieIAbiram" should not make "incorrect" statements unless you want to be embarrassed & embarrassed you shall be. Read it & weep: Vatican II, Lumen Gentium, November 21, 1964, pp. 367-368 - "...in the first place amongst whom are the Moslems ... do not know the gospel of Christ ... try in their actions ... those too may achieve eternal salvation ... not yet arrived at an explicit knowledge of God ... lead a good life." You're the one who rejects truth by believing in a false god - Rome.
I am not surprised that something this ridiculous would come from you. Muslims can lead good moral lives, this they affirm, but they do not affirm that they can be saved. "extra ecclesiam nulla salus" is still affirmed in the II Vatican Catechism. They are merely affirming that those by no fault of their own do not know the Gospel have the possibility of being of God saving them. Because God can do whatever he wishes. I'd advise reading the Second Vatican before making any more claims.
I'm not surprised "AbdielAbiram" that you can't look your own Vatican 2 doctrine straight in the face & believe it since you can't look scripture in the face & believe it. It's obvious you need help understanding Vatican 2, why not try the "Catholic Encyclopedia, 1986, p. 403 which says, "Upon the Moslems, the Church looks with esteem" or p. 401 about the Mormons & the "Trinity." Check out "Nostra Aetate" pp.738-743 concerning Hinduism, Buddhism, Atheism, etc. See our shows on YAHOO VIDEO.
I'd actually advise you to read Nostra Aetate, nothing you claim supports universalism. Once again, Vatican II has affirmed "extra ecclesiam nulla salus". No Catholic Council can contradict past teachings, you would know that if you studied the Church without your anti-catholic bias.
It's obvious "AbdielAbiram" that you have neither read Nostra Aetate or watched our 16 video series posted on both YAHOO VIDEO & GOOGLE VIDEO (search LARRY WESSELS once on their homepage). Reference to our show #15 ("Rome Says Even Atheists Are Believers") in the series where we read Nostra Aetate to the viewers. See also our YAHOO VIDEO debate with Catholic scholar Robert Fastiggi (Reformation Debate) for more clarification as well. Your Romanist cult "esteems" false religions worldwide!
I knew it was a matter of time before you would cut & run "AbdielAbiram" since you were hoping your Romanist hocus pocus "terminology" would save you in this discussion. Your terminology like your god the Roman Catholic Church has failed you. Jesus Christ is the answer not your Romanist cult. Your "extra ecclesiam nulla salus" is destroyed by conflicting Romanist dogma such as "inculpable ignorance" & conflicting Romanist interpretation of Vatican II. See our 16 hour series on YAHOO VIDEO.
"perhaps you will start learning" After reading the Bible and reading those answers, I will "start" to learn ? What happen to those who don`t even have a Bible, or don`t have internet for see your answers ? They will never understand right ?
Do you think you have Authority to say what is true and not true about the Bible,?
All you do is give your "personal" interpretation... because Authority must be given from someone.. you think te bible gave you, but ANYONE can think that...
Your problem "mjmenjivar" is you have put all your faith & trust into the Roman Catholic Church RATHER than Jesus Christ & His word. I know you won't do it because you have a blind faith in the Pope & his counterfeit religion but for others reading this please go to our 16 hour series on Romanism posted on both YAHOO VIDEO & GOOGLE VIDEO (type LARRY WESSELS in their homepage search box) & look for the individual videos. See also our 2 hour debate entitled "Does Romanism Preach Another Gospel?"
mmm, who trust Jesus and believe Hes is the LORD ?
Those who reject His decitions or those who accept it ??
Thanks for giving me your "personal opinion" about the Truth, but the problem is that you have NOT Authority, so I dont have to believe your "personal interpretation" of the Bible
You recieved NO Autority from no one, bishops and the Popes received it from the Apostles and they from Jesus Himself,, SORRY FOR YOU,,
Have you ever dealt with a Jehovah's Witness mjmenjivar? How about a Mormon, or a Moonie or an Atheist or a Hare Krisha or a Muslim, etc.? I've dealt with all of them & many other religious cultists over the last 30 years in detail & one thing they all have in common is they replace the AUTHORITY of the WORD OF GOD (the Bible) with a DIFFERENT RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY. You're no different than any of these other cultists since you trust the POPE & his CULT over the WORD OF GOD. Go BIBLEQUERY ORG.
@mjmenjivar, that Monsignor is a typical novus ordo (new mass) Vatican 2 apostate. His view that anyone can be saved, whether Christian or not, does not reflect the historic position of the RCC, the Scriptures or the Church Fathers. He is a modernist heretic.
@Apologist117 It's always nice when one Roman Catholic heretic calls another Roman Catholic a heretic since I would be forced to agree with him. From a purely Biblical position all Roman Catholics, whether they be "new mass," "modernist," "historic position of the RCC" or whatever, are heretics since they believe "another gospel" (Galatians 1:6-9). See our 2 hour debate with Catholic apologist Robert Fastiggi, PH.D of St. Edward's University (go to GOOGLE VIDEO, search LARRY WESSELS).
Monsignor's comments are not contrary to scripture as you claim in the video. He said that a person can go to heaven even if he/she is not Catholic; he did not say that everyone will go to heaven. Stop trying to make the Catholic church into something that it is not!

They are a gift of God, yes! But see how in verse 10, St. Paul makes it clear that works are something we must do when he says that "we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works." Doesn't that mean that works have at least some kind of role?

@tdmavens When dealing with "Roman Catholics" you run into a wide variety of theological belief systems. Many Romanists have commented that they disagree with the Monsignor in this video even though he is the official representative for the Diocese of Austin, Texas thus authorized to represent the accurate view of Romanist beliefs. Please see the 2 hour debate on YOUTUBE between ROBERT FASTIGGI & LARRY WESSELS for clarification. Christians are SAVED FIRST then do WORKS but not to keep salvation.
CAnswersTV 1 year ago
@CAnswersTV First, a Monsignor is not "the official representative" for a given Diocese. In fact, a Diocese can have a number of Monsignors. The official representative for a Diocese is a Bishop. Second, when answering my question about the role of works in our salvation, you tell what they're NOT for, but will you please tell me what works ARE for? Thank you for your time.
tdmavens 1 year ago
@tdmavens First, you're "officially" wrong in your claim that Monsignor Ed Jordan was not the "official" REPRESENTATIVE of the Diocese of Austin, Texas since he WAS approved by the presiding BISHOP for the debate. Don't make claims you know nothing about. You're simply making an ignorant claim but pretending as if you know something. Next, WORKS are NOT done to accomplish salvation as Romanism teaches (merits, etc) but are lovingly done by those ALREADY PERMANENTLY SAVED BEFORE WORKS (Rom 9).
CAnswersTV 1 year ago
@CAnswersTV Just because someone is approved by the Bishop for the debate does not make him the official representative. A representative? Sure, but certainly not the representative. And again, please tell me what works ARE for. You have simply told me what works are not for (i.e. "WORKS are NOT done to accomplish salvation"), and you have told me how works are done (i.e. "lovingly done by those ALREADY PERMANENTLY SAVED BEFORE WORKS"). Oh, and which verse of Romans 9 says "permanently?" Thx.
tdmavens 1 year ago
@tdmavens You're an idiot concerning the "Diocese of Austin, Texas"! Have you been a member of the Dioces of Austin, Texas? "Never" is likely your response, right? Well then, Monsignor Jordan is THE OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DIOCESE OF AUSTIN, TX for this debate, not you or someone else, get it? W0RKS demonstrate inner love in an outward form (Galatians 5:6), they are an example to others (1 Tim 2:10), they bring glory to God (Mt 5:16, 1 Ptr 2:12). "Permanently" implied in Romans 9:11-13.

Part 1 Mr. Zins I am not surprised how disingenuous you are when it comes to the Catholic church . After listening to you spew out your false dialectic one would think that the Catholic Church is not biblical. Whoever has taken the time to listen to your video will think of you as being genuinely sincere . But in truth you are you are more willing to cause division by maligning the church with your prevarications.

@triumphalismRC You don't seem to like Rob! You make claims that he is not telling the truth but you don't say how & where he is lying. Could you please give us some examples of what you are talking about? Just as we've been able to lead many out of Jehovah's Witnesses by simply revealing what they themselves teach in their own publications it's likewise easy to expose Romanism for what it is by it's own teachings & actions. Roman sources say 50% of their priests are homosexuals, that says alot!

My like or dislike of Rob is not the issue I am greatly saddened by people like Rob who claim to speak for God. Who are willing to quote Sacred Scripture as if they were an infallible source of scriptural knowledge! I particularly like the way after the Monsignor is done speaking you immediately cut away and start quoting scripture . As if to say look these things don’t add up. Do you think that is fair? The Monsignor is never given a chance to defend the Roman Catholics Church position.

@CAnswersTV I want to know why they snicker at the end regarding the Msr. not being "limited to Scripture." It would seem to me that the hosts of this show think that he should be limited to Scripture. It seems to me that they subscribe to the notion of the Bible alone as the sole rule of faith. Why do they think the Bible is the sole rule of faith?
tdmavens 1 year ago
@tdmavens Your conclusion on this particular matter of "snickering" is fairly accurate. The hosts of the show do believe that all matters of Christian faith & practice are limited to the Bible alone & nothing else (particularly the fact that man-made traditions of men are a demonic technique to overthrow the written Word of God as stated by Jesus in Matthew 15:2-6 & Mark 7:3-13). Jesus, the apostles, & prophets say the Scripture are our only rule (see our SPIRITUAL WARFARE #2 here on YOUTUBE).

@CAnswersTV So, who are these Roman sources that claim 1/2 of the 400,000 priests in the world are gay? I won't accept personal opinions of anti Catholic writers, they must be from the Church as you claim.
Also, Tell me more about what we're taught. I'm sure you own a Catechism of the Catholic Church.
hockeyrulesus 1 year ago
@hockeyrulesus So only church propaganda is truth? James speaks of the result of a true faith is good works, thus just saying you have faith or knowing there is a God isn't a real trust is Jesus and thus not a real faith. But Faith that saves is one that trust in Jesus and thus results in good works. So once again it is not the works that saves, but the faith that leads to the works. There is no mention of a gain in merit for the works, but rather that it shows faith.

@1brandwag That's fine....Catholics also believe it is Faith that saves us. If the good works don't matter, we have that faith part covered, thank you.

@hockeyrulesus This is a worthless answer to anyone who truly understands Roman Catholic theology. I don't expect this "hockeyrulesus" idolator to give a straight answer since his purpose is to mislead the public as to true Romanist faith & practice. Readers, however, can go to the 2 hour debate right here on Youtube, between Romanist scholar Dr Robert Fastiggi & Christian Answers director Larry Wessels entitled, "Is Catholicism Another Gospel? A Debate." See also ROB ZINS & RICHARD BENNETT.

@hockeyrulesus I'm not sure how much longer I'll waste time with you since Paul says in Titus 3:10-11, "A man that is a heretick after the first & second admonition reject; knowing that he that is such is subverted, & sinneth, being condemned of himself." Looking at your Youtube account it is full of "graven images" (a violation of Exodus 20:4-5) & your very Youtube account name "hockeyrulesus" shows your devotion a sport rather than God. "The Rite of Sodomy" gives you plenty of references.

What specifically was "totally twisted" (please give exact details of WHAT was twisted & how it was twisted)? What is this "100 verses" you are talking about? By the way, Roman Catholic sources say half of all Roman Catholic priests are pedophiles & homosexuals who in many cases have abused children. Do you agree with the priests?

@CAnswersTV Can you give me the source of the claim that 50% of all Priests are Gay? If a priest admits he's gay, he is kicked out of the Church, so, this is very interesting to me.
hockeyrulesus 1 year ago
@hockeyrulesus This is a good question & deserves to be answered. The Roman church does not "kick out" their gay priests, bishops, cardinals, & popes & never has & probably never will (too many). For starters read THE RITE OF SODOMY: HOMOSEXUALITY AND THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH by Roman Catholic scholar Randy Engel, 1300 pages. Page 1157 says, "There can be no question that Pope Paul VI's homosexuality was instrumental in the paradigm shift that saw the rise of the Homosexual Collective ..."

What you need to do is go to our website BibleQuery org which answers 7700 Bible questions & then perhaps you will start learning what the Bible actually teaches. The monsignor (which means "My Lord") believes what Rome's "Vatican II" document says, not what the Bible says. "Vatican II" says even atheists can & will be saved proving what Ed Jordan's claims but that's not what the Bible says.

You "AbdieIAbiram" should not make "incorrect" statements unless you want to be embarrassed & embarrassed you shall be. Read it & weep: Vatican II, Lumen Gentium, November 21, 1964, pp. 367-368 - "...in the first place amongst whom are the Moslems ... do not know the gospel of Christ ... try in their actions ... those too may achieve eternal salvation ... not yet arrived at an explicit knowledge of God ... lead a good life." You're the one who rejects truth by believing in a false god - Rome.

I am not surprised that something this ridiculous would come from you. Muslims can lead good moral lives, this they affirm, but they do not affirm that they can be saved. "extra ecclesiam nulla salus" is still affirmed in the II Vatican Catechism. They are merely affirming that those by no fault of their own do not know the Gospel have the possibility of being of God saving them. Because God can do whatever he wishes. I'd advise reading the Second Vatican before making any more claims.
AbdielAbiram 2 years ago
I'm not surprised "AbdielAbiram" that you can't look your own Vatican 2 doctrine straight in the face & believe it since you can't look scripture in the face & believe it. It's obvious you need help understanding Vatican 2, why not try the "Catholic Encyclopedia, 1986, p. 403 which says, "Upon the Moslems, the Church looks with esteem" or p. 401 about the Mormons & the "Trinity." Check out "Nostra Aetate" pp.738-743 concerning Hinduism, Buddhism, Atheism, etc. See our shows on YAHOO VIDEO.
CAnswersTV 2 years ago
I'd actually advise you to read Nostra Aetate, nothing you claim supports universalism. Once again, Vatican II has affirmed "extra ecclesiam nulla salus". No Catholic Council can contradict past teachings, you would know that if you studied the Church without your anti-catholic bias.

@mjmenjivar, that Monsignor is a typical novus ordo (new mass) Vatican 2 apostate. His view that anyone can be saved, whether Christian or not, does not reflect the historic position of the RCC, the Scriptures or the Church Fathers. He is a modernist heretic.

@Apologist117 It's always nice when one Roman Catholic heretic calls another Roman Catholic a heretic since I would be forced to agree with him. From a purely Biblical position all Roman Catholics, whether they be "new mass," "modernist," "historic position of the RCC" or whatever, are heretics since they believe "another gospel" (Galatians 1:6-9). See our 2 hour debate with Catholic apologist Robert Fastiggi, PH.D of St. Edward's University (go to GOOGLE VIDEO, search LARRY WESSELS).
