Sacrament Scripture Reference Catechism Reference 1. Baptism: the sacrament by which a person, whether a baby, child, or adult, receives an indelible spiritual mark, is cleansed of all sin and is reborn into the family of God, being sanctified by Christ to everlasting life by means of the sign of water and the action of the Holy Spirit. Of Jesus: Matthew 3:13-17; Mark 1:9-11; Luke 3:21-22; John 1:29-33 Necessity of Christian baptism: Matthew 3:11; Mark 1:4-8; Luke 3:16; John 3:1-21; Acts 2:38; 11:15-17; 19:1-7; Ephesians 4:5; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Galatians 3:25-28; Colossians 2:12-13 Significance of Baptism: CCC 628, 950, 1213-14, 1220, 1227-28, 1234-45, 1262, 1272-74, 1617 Baptism of infants: CCC 403, 1231, 1233, 1250-52, 1282, 1290 Baptism of adults: CCC 1247-49 Baptismal promises: CCC 1185, 1254, 2101, 2340 2. Confirmation: through the laying on of hands, anointing with chrism (oil), and prayer a person's baptism is confirmed (completion of baptismal grace) and is strengthened by the Holy Spirit to publically profess the faith and live up to the role of Christ's apostle. Matthew 3:13-17 John 1:33-34 Acts 8:14-17; 10:38 CCC 1285-1321 Effects of Confirmation: CCC 1302-05 Who can receive: CCC 1306-11 Minister of Confirmation: CCC 1312-14 3. Reconciliation/Penance: the sacrament of spiritual healing in which, through certain acts of the penitent and by the absolution of a qualified priest, sins committed after baptism are remitted and fellowship with God is restored. Matthew 16:19; 18:18 John 20:22-23 CCC 1422-1498 Names of the sacrament: CCC 1423-24 Necessity of interior penance: CCC 1430-39 Why Jesus gave the power to forgive sins to the Church: CCC 1441-49 Effects: CCC 1468-71 4. Holy Orders: the sacrament of Apostolic Ministry by which the mission entrusted to the Apostles by Jesus Christ continues to be exercised in His Church. This sacrament confers on a man the power of consecrating the offering of the Body and Blood of Christ and of remitting and retaining sins. Matthew 16:19; 18:18 John 13:3-15 John 19:22-23 Acts 1:15-26 CCC 1113, 1120, 1142, 1210, 1536-1600 Holy Orders in the Economy of Salvation: CCC 1539-71 Effects of Holy Orders: CCC 1581-1600 5.

John 2:1-12 CCC 1601-1666 In the order of Creation: CCC 1601-05 Marriage in the Lord: CCC 1612-17 Unity and indissolubility of marriage: CCC 1644-51 Partners in God's plan for humanity: CCC 1652-54 6. Anointing of the sick: the sacrament in which the sick are anointed with holy oil and given the spiritual aid and strength to return to spiritual and bodily health, including, if needed, the remission of sins.

Eucharist: the sacrament in which the faithful, in a state of grace, receive the true Body and Blood of Jesus Christ who is really and substantially present under the appearances of bread and wine. It is called the Eucharist, meaning "the thanksgiving," because at its institution at the Last Supper Jesus "gave thanks;" and it is by this fact that the sacrament is the supreme act of the baptized Christian's gratitude to God. Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-25 CCC 1322-1419 Institution of the Eucharist: CCC 1337-44 The source and summit of ecclesial life: CCC 1324-27 The sacrificial memorial of the Lord's Passion and Resurrection and of His Body, the Church: CCC 1330-32; 1362-81🤔🤔

Great question. It may be. Isaiah 30:21 speaks directly about that inner voice. Also, Romans Chapter 2 is about the "judgment of each conscience." Romans 2:15 footnote in the Orthodox Study Bible states "The Law written in their hearts" refers to a person's conscience. Sounds a lot like the Jer. verse.

It is not that non Catholics Christians object to the sacraments, that is a very wide statement. I don't object the sacraments and do them. The biggest objection is the baptism of babies because a baby can not repent for sins or confess that Jesus is his Lord and Saviour. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the perfect example of when and how Baptism He was dedicated being a baby and baptized as an adult. No where in the Bible says that babies are to be baptized, Jesus Christ was very clear saying that the Kingdom of God belongs to such as Children - Mark 10:13-16. Comparing circumcision to infant baptism doesn't include female babies, there is so much to take into account in a comparison as such. Baptism is fundamental to our Christian faith the most important act of confession of our faith.

@FlexCathedrafromIG Год назад

The indications are clear. In the New Testament we read that Lydia was converted by Paul’s preaching and that “She was baptized, with her household” (Acts 16:15). The Philippian jailer whom Paul and Silas had converted to the faith was baptized that night along with his household. We are told that “the same hour of the night . . . he was baptized, with all his family” (Acts 16:33). And in his greetings to the Corinthians, Paul recalled that, “I did baptize also the household of Stephanas” (1 Cor. 1:16). In all these cases, whole households or families were baptized. This means more than just the spouse; the children too were included. If the text of Acts referred simply to the Philippian jailer and his wife, then we would read that “he and his wife were baptized,” but we do not. Thus his children must have been baptized as well. The same applies to the other cases of household baptism in Scripture. Granted, we do not know the exact age of the children; they may have been past the age of reason, rather than infants. Then again, they could have been babes in arms. More probably, there were both younger and older children. Certainly there were children younger than the age of reason in some of the households that were baptized. Furthermore, given the New Testament pattern of household baptism, if there were to be exceptions to this rule (such as infants), they would be explicit.

@tony1685 Год назад

@@FlexCathedrafromIG it's still in contradiction to the requirements of baptism. see Acts 2:38 and 8:37. this proves Lydia didn't have infants or toddlers or it would be shown. same with Stephanas - or God would have proven it with Scripture, rather than leave contradictions. you have to remember - these pagan theories are catholic, not Christian - this system doesn't live up to His criteria. see 1 Tim 3:15 and/or John 14:15 - catholicism isn't Christianity.

@@tony1685 The Lord explicitly “called infants” to himself in Luke 18:15-17: Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them; and when the disciple saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” These were not just children who were being brought to Jesus. The Greek word here is brephe, which mean “infants.” And again, the Jews listening would understand that the parent’s belief and obedience suffices for the child until he is old enough to own his faith. The parents bringing children to Christ, according to Christ, is equivalent to the children coming to him on their own. Moreover, because babies are icons of what we all should be-that is, they put up no obstacles to the work of God in their lives, and they can most obviously do absolutely nothing to merit anything from God-infant baptism makes sense, as they are reminders of “the sheer gratuitousness of the grace of salvation” (CCC 1250). From the very beginning, whole “households” received baptism. There is no reason to believe that infants would not have been included (see Acts 11:14; 16:15, 33; 18:8; 1 Cor. 1:16). For brevity’s sake, I will use just one of the five examples cited in that parenthesis. I encourage all reading this to take a look at the other four examples as well. When Paul led the Philippian jailer to Christ in Acts 16, he said to him, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household” (Acts 16:31). He does not say that all in his household must first believe. He simply says they will all be saved. How could he say that? Paul seems to have understood what St. Peter had already preached back when Paul was still persecuting Christians (in Acts 2:38). The promise of faith and baptism is for the jailer and his children. Jesus said, “He that believes and is baptized shall be saved” in Mark 16:16. Many claim this to mean that faith must precede baptism. And this would seem to exclude infants as possible candidates for baptism. Seems airtight. Can an infant possess faith? No. Therefore, a baby cannot be licitly baptized. Although this argument may sound convincing on the surface, it does not survive serious scrutiny. First, Jesus did not say faith must precede baptism for an individual. He simply said one has to believe and be baptized in order to be saved. He said nothing about the two having to be accomplished in that order for the individual. Moreover, even if we were to accept as fact that faith must come first, even though Mark 16:16 does not say that, this would not exclude the possibility that the faith of the parents suffices until the child reaches the age of accountability.

@FlexCathedrafromIG Год назад

@@tony1685 In addition to this, Paul clearly teaches that circumcision never justified anyone, at least in the sense of the initial gift of justification. “We say that faith was reckoned to Abraham . . . before he was circumcised” (Rom. 4:9-10). So doesn’t this prove that baptism does not save us, either? Three points: First, as I said above, baptism is the fulfillment of that which was only a type in the Old Testament. The fulfillment is always more glorious than the type. Thus, “baptism does now save you” (1 Pet. 3:21) in a way that circumcision could not. Second, it is true that Abraham and David were Paul’s two examples of justifying grace occurring apart from circumcision in Romans 4. And yet, Abraham instituted circumcision by divine mandate, and David was, in fact, circumcised as a little baby. Indeed, God also declared in the Old Testament that “any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant” (Gen. 17:14). It is not a contradiction to say both faith and circumcision were necessary to remain within God’s covenant in the Old Testament, even though circumcision played no role in initial justification. Third, the faith of the parents sufficed when it came to circumcising a child. Do we not see that principle in the New Testament as well? Jesus saw the faith of the friends of the paralytic and healed the paralytic in Matthew 9:2. When people cannot have faith, the faith of family or friends suffices. So it is with infant baptism. The faith of the parents sanctifies the children, as Paul says in 1 Cor. 7:14. This is just as much a New Testament concept as it is an Old Testament concept. So if you have the Faith, and you’re on the fence about baptizing your baby . . . wonder no longer. Baptize him! No argument you presented in your erroneous literal snd surface interpretation can refute baptism for children without discrediting the early church and calling Jesus a liar and deceiver. Problem is not whether or not scriptures contradicting. God doesn't have to be explicit and up front every single time in the Bible. I don't know what God you worship but that's clearly not the god of the Bible. You are minimalizing God's grace and wisdom by looking for a literal meaning of the texts every single page you flip

@matthewbushey5103 Год назад

Fr. Hofer, in the Lord’s Prayer, we ask for forgiveness. Since Christ’s instruction on how to pray has efficacy, it follows that when we pray it in faith, we are forgiven. Why then do we need the sacrament of confession? If we cannot obtain forgiveness when we pray the Lord’s Prayer, then Christ gave us false instruction, and if we can obtain forgiveness, then the sacrament of confession proves ancillary to forgiveness. Arguments like this make me uncertain about the claims of the Catholic Church, yet love Catholic philosophy draw me to the Catholic Church.

@georgepierson4920 Год назад

So, what you are really saying is that Jesus overstepped his authority when he gave the Apostles the Holy Spirit and the authority to forgive sin.

@Ebradley2351 Год назад

This is a very thoughtful question. I would recommend watching some of the videos from the Dominicans on the sacrament of confession specifically, or the categories of venial and mortal sin. We actually can obtain forgiveness from praying directly to God - Lord's prayer or not - but there are some distinctions, much like how our prayers of repentance or for union with God are powerful, but also do not replace the necessity of baptism.

@Michael_Walsh Год назад

Look into the difference between venial and mortal sin

@JohnR.T.B. Год назад

Because not to forgive is also a sin, a sin of rejecting love, hence the prerequisite to receive forgiveness is to forgive another first. God will forgive our sins only if we forgive others who have wronged us. 'If any one says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.' (1 John 4:20)

@matthewbushey5103 Год назад

@@Ebradley2351 I thought, in Catholic doctrine, one can only receive forgiveness via confession to a priest. Did I misunderstand this? Is it rather the case that one can receive forgiveness by prayer; however via confession one receives special or greater graces?

7 Sacrament Spiritual Deception Spiritual deceptions: Jesus warns against trusting the majority on spiritual matters, listening to anyone who claims to speak for Christ, and agreeing with Jesus without acting on his words. 7 Sacrament Spiritual Deception 1. Baptism. 1st sacrament deception. “Infant Baptism” justification. This is not a Christian practice. None of the early Christians were baptised infant. Only in Roman Catholic tradition. Baptism cannot save anyone from original sin which was punishable by death (Gen. 2:17). That is why we all die. Jesus will baptize us not with water but Spirit (rapture) and with fire (purgatory Rev. 3:18; Zech 13:9) for us to have eternal life. 2. Confirmation is the 2nd deception. No Christians ever had a confirmation ceremony. Christian baptism does not need confirmation because we need to know and accept Jesus before being baptized. Pagans, Jews, & gentiles were baptized by John for repentance (Matt 3:11) and to prepare the coming of the Lord but never knew the Holy Spirit similar with the infant baptism. So, they were baptized again by the apostles to receive the Holy Spirit (Acts 19:2-6). 3. Eucharist. 3rd spiritual deception. Roman Catholic ritual literally eat the meat and drinking the blood of the son of man as a weekly traditional sacrifice. Jesus said “It is finished; do this in remembrance of me”. For Christians, eating the flesh is to eat the Word of God, and to drink, by accepting his blood as the final and holy sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin. Pagans still performs a weekly sacrifice, worship, & venerate their gods. You worship what you do not know (John 4:21-25). 4. Confession. 4th sacrament of deception. The Bible said to administer the teachings as blessing, The bible does not teach to let the people kneel & confess their sin to a priest and able him to forgive sin if you pray to their Queen of heaven. Priest are deceivers pretending as Jesus (during Eucharist), as an apostle (pope as successor of Peter), or vicar (impostor - Matt 24:5) of the Lord. Apostles were chosen by Jesus, while the pope & your bishops are chosen by men, sinners like me. Are they the same? God forbid. Only in the deceiving religion. An apostle has to have physically walked with Christ. For true Christians, we confess and ask forgiveness to the man whom we sinned then to the Spirit of God thru Jesus Christ. Not pray to dead or to a priest who pretends that he will pass on your sins to God & he was told forgive sins. 5. Matrimony. Abomination of Vatican for granting their priests to administer blessings of SAME-SEX couples. A landmark ruling, Dec. 18, 2023. Did God allow same sex marriage that couple are worthy to be bless? 6. Anointing of the sick. 6th sacrament of deception. The Roman Pope claims to be the successors of apostle Peter and the “Vicar of Christ” (substitute of God)? But during COVID-19 pandemic “the most high his Holiness of Catholic Pagans” never able to heal anyone. But rather hid himself, remained silent, and covered himself with a face mask. He cannot wash the feet of a leper. 7. Holy Orders is coming from the woman who’s riding a beast that lived in a seven hills. This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is…. and The 7th sacrament of deception. I hope you will seek who is more logical between the Bible vs. the Catechism. Yours is a free will to choose either be a righteous Christian bible believer or be a Roman Traditional Catholic Catechism follower. … I am a Berean

@LoneStarLawman 3 месяца назад

No, they are not Biblical and use Bibical words in a counterfeit way. Baptism is after you believe, as described in the book of Acts, by full body immersion. The Catholic eucharist (mass) is supposedly taking Christ literal body and blood through transliteration which is blasphemy. Christ's sacrifice was once for all time. The body and blood of Jesus, is symbolic as clearly described during the last supper as Jesus instructed. If you don't fulfill the sacraments before you die you go to the fictional place of purgatory. Not mentioned or even hinted in the Bible. The word for word translation of the Bible is the only truth. Not a bunch of rituals, that men invented for controlling people' lives for their purposes.
