Jesus is Jewish messiah and he didn't start a new religion but instituted continuation of Judaism under the new covenant with the basic traditions like tabernacle, alter, menohra, priesthood, eucharist as new passover ritual etc intact and first followers of Jesus called themselves as Christians and called their Church catholic which nobody disputes about it until the satanic cult of sola scriptura a man made tradition invented by a devil possessed man was introduced just five hundred years ago
Jesus got it right and told us how to act, talk, believe, behave and how to treat others. If it isn’t in the Bible it doesn’t come from our Heavenly Father!
As Catholic I love my brothers and sisters in Christ, Orthodox or Protestant. I have no right to judge them because I myself is a big sinner. Lets stop comparing, lets unite preaching the gospel and pray for the world peace.
The lamp of the body is the eye. Everything you see with your eyes will enter your heart. If you want God in your life, if you desire to live in righteousness and truth and choose to do good and serve the Lord, you will have Godly eyes and will have a good heart. If you have good eyes of love and mercy to see the needs of the the poor, if you care for the sick, for the hungry, for the lonely, if you pardon and pray for sinners and see their need for God for the forgiveness of their sins, and for their conversion and salvation, if you seek only what's good for your neighbor, then your body will be filled with light and of the Holy spirit. But if your eyes are bad, evil will enter your heart. If you have adulterous eyes you'll commit adultery either with your heart or with your whole body. If you have greedy eyes you could become a thief. If you love evil, you will have no fear of God. And the devil will always give you strength to do evil things against God and against your neighbors. Also if you love evil, if you despise the poor, and the hungry, and disrespect the elderly, you will become merciless and your heart be filled with cruelty. If you don't want God in your life your body will be in great darkness because no one will stop you from sinning. Only God can set you free from slavery of sin. Those who love evil and choose to live in darkness and sin are under God's curse. Choose not to be among God's enemies. Choose not to be among the devil's servants. Those who trust in the Lord will never be put to shame. Those who choose to serve the Lord are children of light because they do what is right and just.
To Christians from other countries please move to the United States and make it more Christian because Christianity is declining in the United States you will have peace and freedom!
Emperor Constantine oversaw changing the SABBATH DAY from Saturday to Sunday, and changed the 10 Commandments, got rid of, "Shall have no Idols" and split "Honor thy Mother and Father" Into two separate Commandments as to keep 10 Commandments instead of 9. On top of what Revelations says about her, looking at their artwork, and statues, knowing about the Molestation of millions of children over millennia, then how they say I can't talk to God, I need to come to Mary and ask, or tell a Man my secrets in a booth. Yeah obviously NOT Christian, but Catholic, big difference... A Man is just that, The Pope is JUST A MAN, not my Father.
When looking for the truth, it took me 3 hours to conclude that Protestantism was an absolute joke. Proceeded with 8 months of grueling research between Catholic and Eastern Orthodox. Came down to the role of the Papacy and Filioque for me.
Let me ask Catholics and orthodox??? Do you know 3 prophecies Jesus fulfilled as messhia as lord???? And do you know 3 prophecies about Jesus second coming??? If you don’t it’s cause your church is a fail My parents grew up in the Orthodox Church in Romania And they told me the Orthodox Church doesn’t even encourage people to read the Bible And I saw it first hand Most catholic and orthodox people go an entire lifetime without even reading a gospel
Christian Protestants Don’t worship or pray to Mary We consider that idolatry and cheating on GOd We don’t call the pope the holy father We consider that blasphemy And he’s antichrist when he dares to go around calling himself the holy father We believe Jesus is the only way to the father We don’t pray to saints We have only one we go to to get to the father And that’s lord Jesus Christ who is GOd Everyone else is a nobody but a brother
Lots of Whiners and some haters here ... so here ........ Orthodox church Period .. Why? Because I dont need a man to tell me and give me orders ( the Pope ) And we all know they were great just and didnt commit any sins right ...
That video did not mentioned that during the great schism in 1054 the Orthodox Church broke away from the Catholic Church through its founder Michael Cerularius. That is the reason why the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, starting with St. Peter with its unbroken list of popes until to the present Pope Francis is the true Church of Christ, which was founded by Jesus Christ in 33AD (Matthew 16:18). The history of the Catholic Church begun in an upper room in Jerusalem, during the time of Jewish Palestine period almost 2,000 years ago. There were about 120 persons gathered there and waiting for the coming of the Holy Spirit as Jesus promised them.
Evil begets evil and right/good begets right/good. Catholicism begot Protestantenism. Catholicism is evil as it kidnapped and swallowed Christianity. So both Catholicism and Protestantenism are equally evil. One is not less evil than the other!
The catholic and orthodox churches. To win the place in heaven's kingdom you have to do god's work on earth. Cos god suffered for the sinners. The protestant Church. To win the place in heaven you have to do the best work you can. Cos They don't believe in god till they see him. So there is no god's work involved on this life. Its a manifest destiny. Bang Bang We are the chosen ones. Thats why you have a sistemic racism in protestant societies. Cos they dont believe in Jesus. And they slaved even White Irish Catholics. The AngloFranco Mssonry Logia. The napoleon's angel investors. Rockefelers, Rosthchilds and Duponts. Not Kennedys, thats for sure. Remember the car ride in Dallas ?
Few problems with this one indulgences were all wrong. They were acts of penance for sins you already were forgiven of to reduce possible time in purgatory. Rich started making payments instead of doing penance and church allowed it. Second Martin Luther even said he never actually nailed the 95 thesis, it’s a myth. He went through proper channels and sent it to his bishop.
None of them got it right because The New Testament jesus in the Light of Old Testament is an impostor a Liar and some people also called him Lunatic and christian missionaries believe that the opposite word for Lunatic is God so jesus is a god 😀
The earliest Church was the One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church. East and West were one Church until the those who call them selves Orthodox. The final split was in the 9th to 11th century. Then there is the Oriental Orthodox Churches who broke from the One Holy Catholic Apostolic (Orthodox) Church. So the Catholic Church from 1st century was one which split from Eastern Orthodox Churches over the primacy of St.Peter and his successor. Mostly because of Constantine and his successor in the east and Holy Mary Theotokos whom Catholic Church believes was free from sin from Conception and the Orthodox view that she remained sinless but had the original ancestors sin of Adam which was death.
The Bible is the inspired word of God. 1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” Luke 1:46-47 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 1 Corinthians 10:4 “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.” 1 Samuel 2:2 “There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. Mark 7:7. “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” 2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” 1 Timothy 4:3 “Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:15 “And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 1Ti 3:2 - A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Tit 1:7 - For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; Hosea 6:6 “For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.” Rev 3:16 - So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Better to be a born again Christian and find a good Bible study group.
In my opinion people from many different denominations will be saved. God is faithful. Many people will be surprised, so better don't be arrogant whatever denonination's believes you follow/feel most close to your faith.
It seems to me the Western church became the schismatics when they added 'filioque' to the catholic creed without the authority of a general council. That's the bottom line, because it touches dogmatics, the central teachings of he church.
I doubt the intent of the narrator, since he seeks to make differences between Catholic and Orthodox that do not exist. Both share the same theology but differ only on the role of authority and church organisation. The narrator should also have disclosed that there are many millions of people in the orthodox community who are in communion with the Catholic Church.
As an orthodox christian, i dont harbor any animosity or ill will towards protestants or catholics. They are my brothers and sisters in christ. I just personally dont enjoy the protestant bland show of faith that just consists of overly loud singing, proclaiming gods name in vain and in things that only you yourself can change and take action in, which is why we have intelligence. I just often get the impression that protestants dont take faith and piety too seriously. Art, sculptures, chants, wearing a cross, effort are what makes faith stand out as genuine.
Nothing you just said is what the gospel focuses on Sculpture 😂😂😂 chants😂Laughing You should read the Bible I wonder if you know even 3 prophecies that Jesus fulfilled as messhia
Do you hold any animosity against Christians that follow the bible and are saved by grace through Jesus Christ and know we don't need to eat a wafer to receive Him? Are people that follow a semi pagan religion still brothers in Christ when they follow a manmade dogma instead of the word of God? Art, sculptures, chants, wearing a cross, does not a make one a believer. I guess Madona who wears or use to wear a cross, shows her faith.
You seem to be thinking that contemporary non-denominational American Mega-church style Protestantism is representative of all Protestantism. You should check out an Anglican or Lutheran worship service.
The Catholic Church believe in the Existence of Christ,the absolute Judge of the imposters. The Church have vows of Obedience,Chastity, Poverty to God.
1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” Luke 1:46-47 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 1 Corinthians 10:4 “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.” 1 Samuel 2:2 “There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

The problem with all you fundamental Christians is that you waste too much energy and time trying to prove your post and declare that you’re the truth when it's not. The Islamic faith is increasing in numbers, and nothing is done about it. All we do is fight among ourselves as Christians and show disunity in the name of Jesus Christ. The Catholic church has been around for 2000 years and is now on its 266th Pope. All you who are talking will be dead in 50 to 60 years’ time but the church will continue its mission until Christ, who founded the Catholic church, returns. The Church will not die out, and it will still increase in numbers. STOP the attach on the Catholic church, which is the work of the Devil himself, using all of you. Try to focus your attach on the Islamic Muslim faith, which is increasing in number in the western world. That is where we as Christians, Protestants and Catholics should focus our attention on not against one another - such stupid people making such videos.
Consider these verses - 1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” Luke 1:46-47 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 1 Corinthians 10:4 “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.” 1 Samuel 2:2 “There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. Mark 7:7. “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” 2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” 1 Timothy 4:3 “Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:15 “And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 1Ti 3:2 - A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Tit 1:7 - For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; Hosea 6:6 “For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.” Rev 3:16 - So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Better to be a born again Christian and find a good Bible study group.
Except protestantism has so many branches that actually reject some of the core truths of the Christian beliefs. That should concern all protestant followers, it concerns this one.
SACRED SILENCE/MILLENNIUM(S).... SOME SCHOLARS SIGHT SCRIPTURE: SURROUNDING LANDS OF THE HOLY LAND TO BE SILENCED, SOON !

SIXTH MILLENNIUM ENDS 2030-33 A.D. SEVENTH MILLENNIUM, MESSIAH RULES FROM JERUSALEM !!!!!!!
It's not a question what is a real Church. The question is which one will remain real on His second coming. As Orthodox I know where is truth and I as any other believer I am confined, restricted, limited by believes from my Church. God is much more than that. He is a heart knower, He is Truth...He is not restricted by nothing. And He said that we should be like Him. So...
THEY ALL GONE ASTRAY GOD SAYS ! ! ! WHO IS TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE?!?? YOU LEAVE THE WORD OF GOD = YOU LEAVE GOD HIMSELF BY YOUR OWN CHOICE / WILLFUL IGNORANCE.. REVELATIONS TEACHES THIS.. WHY HE COMES TO CALL EVERYONE OUT OF ORGANISED RELIGION.. WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE CHURCH SAME AS WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE NATION WE ARE BY HIS CHOICE.. NO SYSTEM OF BELIEVE BUT THE WORD ONLY AS BROUGHT TO US BY GODLY MEN... GODLY MEN WILL ALWAYS SAY WHAT THE WORD SAYS..
I listened to this video and read the below comments. I laughed at it all. Jesus and His Disciples lived simply and shared simply, and determined leadership through consensus. Most Christian leaders are blind to Jesus. This started from the 2ND Century, as soon as the Disciples and 60 Assigned Followers were killed or died off. This video details some of the political, economic, and even ethnic/nationalistic motivations dividing the Jesus’ Church. I agree all who believe in Jesus as their Savior are saved by His love. NO Christian Denomination really believes this and NONE practices this belief. Upon Jesus return, He could easily say to ALL Christian Denominations, “I do not know you!” These are the things I would emphasize. I have them in order of importance to Salvation. 1: Was the Repentant Convict next to Jesus saved with his Spirit accompanying Jesus Spirit to Paradise on Good Friday? I say YES. Therefore, Baptism is NOT a precondition to Salvation. Only belief in Jesus is required for Salvation. Nevertheless, do you want your birthday cake as a Christian with or without icing? The Repentant Convict had NO chance at Baptism. The 105 people witnessed too and saved on Floor 105 of Tower 1 in the World Trade Center on 09/11 did NOT get Baptisms. They were all saved too. But if you are in a peaceful environment, your Baptism is a formal public celebration of the Salvation you already accepted inside. Does 1 Denominations do Baptism better than others? Well, being immersed as a person conscious of their own sinful nature is my preference. Babies cannot be Baptized because they lack a consciousness of the yet unexpressed nature. Do Baptisms happen only to adults? No. However, most males mature at about 25, and most females at about 20. I say about because family and cultural environments impact your understanding of your conscious behavior. 2: Are their more Sacraments than declaring Jesus as your Savior in your heart, and Baptism as a public expression of your inside commitment? NO. All other claimed sacraments are non-Biblical false teaching. What about Marriage? Individuals are NOT saved by marriage. Therefore, it is NOT a Sacrament. However, Jesus said, “Where 2 or 3 are gathered in My name, I will be with them also.” This means such a gathering of Believers is a micro Church for Jesus. Thus, teaching marriage in Church where a new micro Church is being created is NOT a small event. Both parties to a marriage have to comprehend fully their roles as Husband and Wife. The Deltas of understandings in various areas have to be bridged. And although mutual attraction, humankind lust is normal, to last 50+ years without succumbing to temptation, you need great communication skills. This is what a macro Church should offer all its micro Churches created by marriage. What about communion? Can a non-Christian take communion and be saved? NO! Communion is NOT a Sacrament just like Marriage is NOT a Sacrament. Communion comes from the Passover Meal called the Last Supper. It is a Remembrance Meal of Jesus: as your Savior from judgment of sin, as your Rabbi/teacher of what GOD wants from you in this Humankind life; and finally as an example of how following GOD’s will takes you away from those things meaningful in this life. Communion unites all Christians of the past with all Christians in the present and all Christians yet unborn into a single Fellowship. It does NOT give Salvation but should reenergize a Salvation ravaged by this world and temptations of Satan the Evil One. In this regard, as nutrition for a Christian Spirit, I can understand how it can be considered a Holy act, which most will call a Sacrament. 3: Pagan rituals and beliefs have tried to corrupt Christianity from the very beginning of Jesus’ Church. If statuary, icons, candles, and burning spices are not called Sacred, nor worshiped, nor treated in any manner other than art glorifying GOD, then all Christians should be able to accept them for what they are, man made. As soon as a greater value is placed on any of these, legacy Pagan ritual creeps into Christianity, which is heresy. Likewise, certain Christian scriptural texts are accepted as the basis of Christian faith. Any beliefs originating from texts not accepted are either Heretical Gnostic texts or early Christian Commentary. The Letters are Christian Commentary actually Canonized in the New Testament. Other Commentaries are farther from original witness to Jesus, and are just good understanding. Only the Gospel Of Jesus in the 4 accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are foundational to Christianity. In fact, most Denominational squabbles are over interpretation and application of the Letters. This is why I always push for Gospel reading to Letter reading so Jesus’ message is not straight jacketed by Letters after the fact. 4: Christian leadership often fails to fully explain mental struggles of applying GOD’s will. For example, what Season is GOD in? What Season are you in? Does GOD have macro will plan and a micro plan just for you? For example, during WW2, big battles occurred in the Pacific. My Uncle joined the Navy to fight. He was assigned to a private yacht converted to a Destroyer to fight German U-Boats. He sailed back and forth from Texas to New Jersey guarding oil tankers. During the voyages he fished and manned his post. They only dropped depth charges once. My Uncle thought of his time in the Navy meaningless. He was wrong. The oil brought to New Jersey ending up as gasoline for my other Uncle fight with GEN Patton. It also fueled my Dad’s plane to bomb Germany. His meaningless job to him was valuable to winning WW2. Many Christians live lives which they might view as meaningless and boring. If they Believe in Jesus, and follow Jesus’ teachings, they are serving GOD’s will. The impact to GOD’s Church by them will not be fully appreciated until they reap rewards in Heaven they never imagined they earned. Their Salvation was a gift of GOD. The rewards in Heaven are determined by doing GOD’s will as a thank you to GOD for Salvation. Martin Luther made 2 statements during sermons which had impacts far greater than intended. Why? Because those hearing the messages added to it. For example, Luther said he wished his Baptism had occurred AFTER his Epiphany, or Born Again experience with GOD. This started the Baptist Denomination. In another sermon, Luther said you either followed GOD’s will or you failed to follow GOD’s will. To Luther, this did not seem like free will existed in Humankind. I believe Luther was echoing Paul’s frustration with himself. However, John Calvin translated this lack of free will into meaning GOD predestined all Humankind actions. This is truly a heresy conflicting with both Old and New Testament teachings. GOD has a book of life. It will have as many pages as is required to achieve GOD’s will. In this book, individuals have plans. These plans are not fixed because GOD pleasures in Humankind’s free will choices. Our randomness gives Him joy. Now we humans can disappoint GOD and we can surprise Him also. His end state will be just as He wants. But He will wait until everything lines up. If individuals Believe in Jesus, follow His teachings, and listen as the Holy Spirit directs, then you will become a greater and greater part of fulfilling your plan GOD’s way while also helping to fulfill His will for Humankind. Remember, GOD always has Plan Bs, and will allow Satan to motivate and influence those to help align people to His will.
What's all the fuss?. The beginning and end of the matter, is simply Jesus Christ. But in reality, people are avoiding Him and running around frantically converting from one 'religion' to the next.
