Are Catholics Considered Christians and What Are The Differences in Beliefs? 

THE BEAT by Allen Parr Dear,your salvation is starting at the moment you are dead,becouse the battle for haeven is not over till the end of man's life. So,as Bible says :"Don't concider anybody happy until he's dead,becouse you don't know his end."

Very true! Great video man. Keep it up!

Mister Sparks Mattheew 16,27 Mattheew 19,16-21

Mister Sparks The truth is that rich young man wasn't sinner,but perfect in obeying the law.But he was reach and not ready to follow Jesus in poorness.Even though Jesus say he is able to save reach people. But if you want more about deeds:Revelation 14,13 ; Revelation 20,12-13

Mister Sparks See what Jesus say:Mattheew 19,24 Mattheew 19,24-26 ;and further 19,27-30

@POINT RUSTY ANCHOR Are you a christian?

No man cometh to the father but by him

Gospel of John chapter 20 verse 23. Then Jesus breathed on them and said receive the Holy Spirit whose sins you forgive will be forgiven them whose sins you retain will be retained. It seems like the Bible tells us it's a little more complicated than what you Bible Christians think. It never ceases to amaze me how little of the Bible Bible Christians are actually aware of.

@@morningsky4605 that's a good question morning sky! According to his own Logic he is not. The founder of his own Doctrines Martin Luther was a Catholic priest. So if the founder of his Doctrine was not Christian how can he be?

@@wordofakingproductions2.0 Gospel of John chapter 20 verse 23 then Jesus breathed on them and said receive the Holy Spirit whosoever sins you forgive will be forgiven whosoever sins you retain will be retained. The apostles were given the power to forgive sin. I'm sure that's something your pastor never taught you right. It never ceases to amaze me how little of the Bible you Bible Christians are actually aware of.

Be born again new creation in Christ and walk in the spirit bearing fruit. Your right its not complicated. Just read the Bible

@Darren Arthur That's YOUR opinion and YOURS alone. Period.

@Darren Arthur Hope He's not. You can keep claiming it but it doesn't make it true.

Nowhere in the bible does it state that Jesus was born on 25th December. These are pagan beliefs being grafted into Christianity. You are worshipping sun gods. Why is your Sabbath on SUNday rather than Saturday (the real biblical Sabbath)? In 321 A.D. Constantine (emperor of Rome) decreed: “On the venerable day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed”. Commandment eight from the commandments tells you: ”Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” Exodus 20:8 KJV This verse clearly tells you to remember which day it is, and to keep it holy. But Constantine changed which day it was and his church changed the wording on their version of the ten commandments to: “Remember to keep holy the LORD'S Day.”Removing remember the Sabbath day (i.e. which day it was). These resurrecting godmen (i.e. Osiris, Horus, Adonis ,Tammuz, Mithras etc.) are known by different names in different cultures but are fundamentally the same mythical being with some varying attributes. You are worshipping SUN gods and the main worship day of them is on SUNday.They commonly have sun discs behind or on top of their heads. The whole Catholic mass has its roots with the pagan religions. All the pagan rituals seemed to have been merged into Christianity. The Eucharist once transubstantiated into Jesus is then placed into a “Monstrance” that looks like a sunburst (i.e. representing the sun). The pagan religions mentioned are forms of sun worship, worshipping their sun gods.Jesus’ the Christians are worshipping is not the real historical Jesus but just a Roman way of worshipping their sun gods. Hymn singing and the use of musical instruments was used in many forms of pagan worship. The use of bell, candles, and holy water came from Mithraism.

Yes, Catholics believe this whole heartily. Not sure what the reason of this comment is.

@@yanhelheartsmakeup i am an ex catholic (devoted Filipino Catholic), and truly i tell you, we pray to/in the name of the Pope, Priest, Mary, many many saints. So may feast of saints. Do rosary, visit images which is really common in the Philippines. Many devotees of Mary. More proud being a Catholic than a follwer of Christ. Surely that is not "Jesus is the ONLY WAY".

@@mitchynitchy I assume you were a cradle catholic brought up in the faith as a child without truly understanding Catholicsm. Have you even once read the Catechism of the Catholic Church? No person who understands the catholic religion worships the Pope. Likewise the Early Church fathers already venerated Mary and the Saints. I'm talking the catholic (universal) Church, not just the Roman Catholic Church. The original Church. The Church of Peter and the Apostles. Protestants follow the teachings of Martin Luther who in my opinion, reject their teachings but can strangely cherry pick some of it, like a trinitarian God, which is not in the Bible. I too am a cradle catholic and was confused when i grew up. I applied my belief and knowledge of a child and was unable to defend Catholicsm from protestants. I didn't know it well enough. Then I took the time to learn more about it. And in understanding it better, i am today, very proud to be a Catholic.

@@oliver8160 i went to catholic school,thats alomost half of my life. Done sacraments, been to church every Sunday. Easy to be religious. But no intimate personal relationship with God. I would mostly stumbe and trust my own understanding of how to please God. I was still a god of myself. Now, I am a born again Christian. My old self is gone, i am a new creation in Christ my Lord and Saviour. Jesus is the Lord of my life. Never been this way when I was a Catholic. Priests never told or remind me to read cathechism in the mass. Neither encourage to read the Holy Bible. Revelation 22:18‭-‬21 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll. He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen. No need for any additional writing, i will stick with God's word. Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” That is Jesus Christ.

@@mitchynitchy Was the same for me. The priest didn't tell me either. Or maybe I just wasn't listening. Did the Sacrements as a kid, went to mass every Sunday and lived my life being distant to God too. Then, i guess, similar to how you were 'born again', i decided to learn more about being a Christian. Except, I looked inwards for a deeper understanding and renewed my Catholic faith. Anyway, since you are happier now, good for you. :) Though I don't think it was fair to accuse catholics of adoring saints when catholics actually do not.

But there are Catholics who have a relationship with God, ever heard of the Religious Hippie?

@Fadi Khoory Perhaps yes, but at the end of the day, their catholicism won't save them. Our spiritual walks are all different. You can choose to be a Catholic and use it to nurture the relationship with Christ, but to me, it just didn't resonate. I was also a former altar server, commentator , and reader for many masses. I also led the rosary on many occasions , but I didn't find or know God through those things. I felt they were just empty works to save myself .

I don't know what you mean when you say you thought Christianity was a religion. What do you define as a religion? And when say Christianity is a relationship with God, do you mean that it doesn't include a relationship with fellow believers, other people, and society?

A relationship with yourself to you can't forget about your own light which most likely Jesus came I am a god and I want to teach the rest of my flock that they are God's

You must have believed in Jesus and received him as Lord and Savior then

James 5:16 confess your sins to one another. James 5 13 through 15 prayer of presbyters forgive sin. John 20:23 whose sins you forgive will be forgiven whose sins you retain will be retained. Leviticus 5:5 through 6. And the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin. Translation: the Catholic Church practices confession to a priest. Confession to a priest is in the Bible. Confession to a priest which is in the Bible is something Protestants are against. Who's Doctrine is actually in the Bible?

@@josetierra100 So regarding James 5:16, does this priest confess his sins back to you? If not then you aren't confessing your sins to one another. "To one another" is a two way affair.

@@thomasnorton2679 priests confess their sins to other priests.

@@thomasnorton2679 hahaha thought you had me there didn't you. JK

@@thomasnorton2679 by the way when that verse was first written down it was included in a letter which was meant from one Church leader to another. Society in general could not read at the time they were illiterate. So this was meant to instruct a priest to confess to another priest. On top of that it was meant for the priest who read the letter actually a bishop. To listen to the confessions of the people who could not read the letter or their congregation.

Bridget Drummond Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the father except through me. The church is not the way. Jesus is the way. The Apostle Paul even stated that wolves will come into the church and pervert the truth. That’s exactly what took place with the beginning of Catholic doctrines. Let me ask you this. If you know the truth above everyone else do you still practice sin? Do you still lie, and steal, and slander, and take Gods name in vain, lust or look at porn, or get drunk, do you ever hate or dishonor your parents, do you do drugs? Do you commit sexual immorality of any kind? If you still practice sin habitually then can you say you walk with God and know God truly. It says in 1 John that if a man claims to know God but does not obey his commandments then he is a liar and the truth is not in him, meaning Jesus. Because Jesus is the truth. Think about that and then get back to me. Jesus said you will know them by their fruit. It’s real easy to practice religion but never actually get born again. This is why Jesus said it is not those that have said Lord Lord that will enter the kingdom of heaven but only those that do the will of my father. Jesus said he will say to those depart from me you who practice iniquity for I never knew you. Think about that and get back to me. There are a lot of professing Christians that don’t know God at all just like the Jews that crucified Jesus did not know God at all even though they were children of Abraham by heritage.

@@Sidney051 I'm a Catholic as well. I myself struggle with some of our teachings too but was the start of the "wolf's" changing the the word of God when they took out the other 7 books of the Bible to fit their beliefs?.... The one thing he said wrong is the amount of books in the Catholic Bible. It's not 14 more than the 66 books he stated in the video. It's 73 books. Even the KJB started out with the 73 books till Martin Luther took them out in the 1600's. There's a lot of man made teachings in the Catholic faith that I struggle with and till this day I'm still learning about. I feel we just don't learn enough of our faith if we just go to church on Sundays. And yes you could potentially not be right with God. I'm studying as much as I can right now and until something very black and white makes me feel like this is the wrong religion....then I'll change.

Robert Reinhart Jesus said the blind follow the blind. The Bible says we have an anointing from the Holy One and we do not need anyone to teach us. That is because when a man gets born again Jesus comes to live inside of a persons heart. When you have Jesus you don’t need anyone to teach you. I don’t need anyone to teach me at all. Jesus said my sheep hear my voice and they will not follow another. The reason why you struggle and don’t know is because you have never acknowledged your sin before God. You are trying to find God and God is actually trying to find you. It’s not about being good or following a set of rules. It’s about turning away from your sin and following Jesus. Not following rules. Following Jesus. You have to acknowledge your sin first though. If you are honest you will admit that you practice certain sins. The Bible says that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God. The Bible says if someone is practicing sin then the truth of God is not in them. The Bible says that person is a liar. When the Holy Spirit lives in someone they cannot continue in sin. The Bible says it is impossible for the man that is born again to continue in sin. You know as well as I do that you are practicing certain sins. You just have to be honest about those sins and repent of them. I am not talking about confessing them to a priest or saying things like everybody sins. No everybody doesn’t sin. If a man be born again he cannot continue in sin. It doesn’t mean that man will never sin again. It means if the Holy Spirit lives in you then the Holy Spirit is leading your life and the decisions you make. You don’t need to learn anymore. Jesus said they are forever seeking but never perceiving and forever hearing but never understanding. You have to ask Jesus to be the Lord of your life and repent of your sins and then commit to follow him with all your heart. You have to admit you are a sinner though first. I don’t mean say yes I am a sinner because everyone sins. I am talking about examining your own life and the sins you have committed and acknowledging those sins before God right where you are. God can hear you right where you are. You don’t have to go to church to find God. God is everywhere and he hears the cry of your heart right where you are. If you try to hang on to self righteousness and try to keep searching for the right rules and teachings to follow then you will never find truth. Jesus is the truth. Jesus is the way and Jesus is the life. You don’t need a religion. You need to find Jesus.

@@Sidney051 Well.... So many things you touched on here. I'm a Born again Christian. February 26th 1999. But..... I'm back with the Catholic faith. Does that mean I lost my salvation? That would make God a lier and he doesn't lie. So I know God is in my heart. Always was. Born a Catholic and raised in a Catholic School is where my roots are. The fact you are here as well questions me.... Why, if you're so confident in your own believe? You see I like to study a lot of religions. I'm big into the young earth creation and watch tons of debates. It's part of my journey with Christ. Very fascinating! I believe you have to have that relationship with God and repent for your sins and I do as well. Not easy to make an appointment with the priest especially at this time with the virus. I pray for my fruitful life, family, job, the sick, etc. God knows me. I guess I'm a Born again Catholic.😎

Robert Reinhart Let me ask you this. You said you got born again on February 26, 1999. Do you mind sharing with me how that happened? What happened on that day that makes you say you got born again?

He already did it. We just accept Him and believe Him as Lord and Savior. God bless you. Don't condemn yourself, Jesus loves you so much♥️

Jesus have mercy on us, mother Mary help us. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen🙏🏿

@@immaokoye why Mary? why not tell to Jesus directly? isn't Jesus enough for you?

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

@@3n0ugh God's doesn't need your memorized prayer. He wants your heart. Your heart for Him. Matthew 6:7 says, And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.

How were you saved? Do you believe that you can lose your salvation? Do you believe that if you do not do certain works that you will not be saved? We are saved by grace through faith. Has nothing to do with us. Believe and call on the Lord Jesus. Build that relationship with Him and stop praying to or through dead people. Jesus never said to pray to His earthly mother. Why would we need to? Jesus desires to have a relationship with us and He is a jealous God. He does not want you praying to anyone but Him. The Bible makes that quite clear.

@@JoshB913 I am a Catholic. I was born again the bible way though baptism (Jn 3:5). i can lose my salvation if i do not persevere to the end (Mt 24:13). I believe that i will not be saved if i fail to do good works (Mt 25:31-46, James 2:24). The Saints are not dead in Gods eyes (Luke 20:37-38) and we are to pray for each other (1Tim 2:1-4), if an act is acceptable for the church militant on earth, why would it be unacceptable for the church triumphant in heaven? Just want to spread some biblical truths. Deus benedicat.

@@JoshB913The Bible teaches that we are saved by faith and works. Of course we can lose our salvation if we turn against God.

@@johnsteila6049 ​​⁠No it doesn’t. If you have faith you will have works. It’s not in any way saying that your works save you at all. That is the “free gift of God lest anyone should boast.” It clearly says it. There is no example of someone coming to salvation and losing it. Judas never had it. The Bible made that clear. In revelation Jesus tells those who were never born again to “depart from me for I never knew you.” He doesn’t say, “I once knew you, but now I don’t, depart from me.” You are adding to the Bible and don’t even realize it.

@@JoshB913 I didn’t say that works alone can save us. Matt 19:16 16 And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” 17 And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. lf you would enter life, keep the commandments.” Phil 2:12 “Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." Judas witnessed Jesus work miracles with his own eyes. You have no right to judge him. He had faith but in the end, was lost. Luther added to Paul’s Epistle in Romans to make his case that we are saved by faith “alone”. I’m here to support what The Bible says. You are defending heresy.

Winner Ijeoma amen to that!! :)

@@lydiapetra1211 The 7 sacraments are in the bible

Just asking. Not saying you're no good or don't believe in God. But if you believe Jesus is the only way to heaven, why are you in a church that is very insistent, persistent, in supposed prayers for various saints, especially Mary, to in turn pray to God?? I prefer to go directly to the source like our only Christ taught. I don't believe in Catholicism anymore whatsoever. Yet, I really can't stand this crap, this BS of super divided Christianity.. Such as when various believers of very different Jesus Christ believing churches, keep saying so and so ain't Christian. When instead of teaching love like we ought to, so called Christians are teaching hate. Bashing each other's beliefs and judging each other's character with no mercy.. Instead of teaching love one another and do good to those that do you wrong. Love your enemy. What better are you when you love only those that love you? And if you salute your kin only, what do you more than others? THAT'S what Jesus taught. Hence, as much as I strongly dislike my old Roman catholic faith, I can't in good conscience say all Catholics are not Christian. I think many have not been Christian or acted like a Christian should. I know others have indeed behaved like a Christian ought to. I'm beyond positive Jesus and God forbids such a notion that a particular faith is not Christian because of how different their faith is compared to others. I ain't God and sure don't know enough about every single person of a faith to say NO they all aren't Christian at all. ONLY GOD decides and only He can judge. Fear no man but God. So don't be afraid of what very flawed man, meaning all of us, say about you being Christian or not.

@@bobbq8380 Veneration and intercession, not worship.

To you we cry, the children of Eve; to you we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this land of exile. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us; lead us home at last.” A) How is the above not a direct prayer/petition to Mary? B) How is calling Mary your "hope", "sweetness" "life" "holy" not worship? It's pretty clear that Catholics not only pray directly to Mary(and don't just ask her for intercession as they claim) but also worship her.

@Tony McGurk "kay do we need Mary to get to Jesus ? No you can go straight to Jesus" That's the same analogy as asking your friends and family to pray for you, when you can just go straight to Him. And no, we don't necessarily need Mary to get to Jesus, but she can immensely help us to get closer to Him. Of course if you're really against about it, aren't open and not fully understand why Catholics (and Orthodox, as well as others) ask for their intercession, then you would definitely accuse us of misconceptions. At that point, it's better if we stay silent until you actually and genuinely ask a practicing Catholic why we do such things. Other than that, God Bless. I hope my words didn't sound mean to you, but sometimes people need to say what they have to say, especially for correcting others.

It's pretty clear that Catholics not only pray directly to Mary (and don't just ask her for intercession as they claim) but also worship her.

​@@0NoOne1nParticular A.) It's an eloquent, poetic way of asking for her to lead us to Christ, which is the very essence of intercessory prayer. Our home is in heaven with Jesus. The Hail, Holy Queen prayer is traditionally a part of the rosary, in which we ask Mary to pray for us now and at the hour of our death that we may make our way to the fruit of her womb, Jesus. B.) If you called one of your kids your hope, sweetness, and your life, would that be worshiping him or her? Of course not. It's a way to express the magnitude of your appreciation and love. So referring to the mother of Jesus that way is not worship, unless of course you believe she is divine. And we don't believe she is divine. Otherwise, we'd tell you! We'd call her our goddess. We'd call her our savior. We wouldn't deny our worship of her, because that's not what someone who worships a deity does. You can find plenty of official Catholic doctrine informing us that Mary is not to be worshiped, and that worshiping anyone other than God is a mortal sin, but you won't find a single document in our 2,000-year history saying that we should worship Mary. Except of course, writings from groups like the Collyridians, who were excommunicated for that very reason. And yes, we call Mary holy for the same reason we call the Bible holy: because in Koine Greek, the word is either attributed to something that inspires religious awe or something that has God's seal upon it, and surely, the woman that bore Jesus Christ incarnate was marked by God!

@@bigfootapologetics Ah so I assume she hears all these billions of daily, hourly, prayers? From the afterlife? She is omniscient and omnipresent? Wow! The Mother of God indeed! Okay so you do pray to and offer her words of worship and think she was without sin and immaculately born. Everything associated with worship, BUT just, "𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵" worship her... Gotcha! Thanks for informing me about the Roman Empires Catholic religion, thats pretty much how I figured it.

​@@0NoOne1nParticular Hey, if you want to just ignore everything I said, be sarcastic, and put words in my mouth in favor of the conclusion you already had before replying to me in the first place, you could've just saved us both time and not bothered to comment in the first place. I understand that it's confusing to understand the distinction between affectionate words and worship, given that the Protestant worldview did away with the classical understanding of what worship meant to Christians for all of history in the 16th century. Fulton Sheen once said: “There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.” Sadly, in your case, you don't have the excuse of ignorance here; as I've told you and every Catholic and Orthodox has maintained for 2,000 years, none of us see Mary as divine or an object of our worship. So while you're welcome to accuse us of something we don't do (to the point where we have excommunicated the people who do it) and explicitly tell you we don't do, just remember that false witness is a serious sin. All I can do here is wish you the best and hope God leads you to being more open-minded and charitable in the future.

Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church? The quotes provided below are historical facts in reference to our early church which existed prior to Romes adoption of Christianity in 313 A.D. and it’s a glimpse of what’s found within its pages. Church: * "Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrneans 8 (c. A.D. 110)] Bishop, Priest & Deacon: * “Since, then, I have had the privilege of seeing you, through Damas your most worthy bishop, and through your worthy presbyters Bassus and Apollonius, and through my fellow-servant the deacon Sotio, whose friendship may I ever enjoy, because he is subject to the bishop as to the grace of God, and to the presbytery as to the law of Jesus Christ [St. Ignatius of Antioch- Letter to the Magnesians 2 (c. A.D. 110)]. Eucharist: * “Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ, which have come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God... They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, Ash that suffered for our sins and that the Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6-7 (c. A.D. 110)]. Scripture: * “[W]hoever perverts the sayings of the Lord for his own desires, and says that there is neither resurrection nor judgment, is the firstborn of Satan. Let us leave the foolishness and the false teaching of the crowd and turn back to the word that was delivered to us in the beginning.” [St. Polycrap of Smyrna - Letter to the Philippians 7 (c. A.D. 135)]. Sunday: * “But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead.” [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 67 (c. A.D. 151)]. Actions/Works: * “We have learned from the prophets, and we believe it is true, that punishments, and chastisements, and good rewards, are rendered according to the merit of each man's actions. If it is not so, then all things happen by fate, and nothing is in our own power. If it is fated that this man be good, and this other evil, the former is not meritorious nor the latter blameworthy [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 43 (c. A.D. 151)]. Apostolic Succession: * “It is within the power of all, in every church, who may wish to see the truth, to contemplate clearly the Tradition of the apostles manifested throughout the whole world; and we are in a position to reckon up those who were instituted bishops in the churches by the apostles, and [to demonstrate] the succession of these men to our own times; those who neither taught nor knew anything these [heretics] rave about.” [St. Irenaeus of Lyons - Against Heresies 3:3:1 (c. A.D. 189)] Baptism: * “The children shall be baptized first. All the children who can answer for themselves, let them answer. If there are any children who cannot answer for themselves, let their parents answer for them, or someone else from their family.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21 (c. A.D. 215)]. Confession: * “After this, one of the bishops present, at the request of all, laying his hand on him who is ordained bishop, shall pray this way: O God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. pour forth the power that is from you, of "the princely Spirit' that you delivered to your beloved Child, Jesus Christ, and that he bestowed on your holy apostles, who established the Church that hallows you everywhere, for the endless glory and praise of your name. Father, "who knows the hearts [of all]” grant this servant, who you have chosen for the episcopate, to feed your holy flock and serve as your high priest blamelessly night and day, and unceasingly turn away wrath from your face and offer to you the gifts of the holy Church. And that by the high priestly Spirit he may have authority "to forgive sins" according to your command.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 2-3 (c. A.D. 215)]. Confirmation: * “The bishop will then lay his hand upon them, invoking, "Lord God, you who have made these worthy of the removal of sins through the bath of regeneration, make them worthy to be filled with your Holy Spirit, grant to them your grace, that they might serve you according to your will, for to you is the glory, Father and Son with the Holy Spirit, in the holy Church, now and throughout the ages of the ages. Amen." After this he pours the oil into his hand, and laying his hand on each of their heads, says, "I anoint you with holy oil in God the Father Almighty, and Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit." Then, after sealing each of them on the forehead, he shall give them the kiss of peace and say, "The Lord be with you." And the one who has been baptized shall say, "And with your spirit." So shall he do to each one [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21-22 (c. A.D. 215). Peter’s Authority: * “The Lord says to Peter: "I say to you,' he says, “that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven. [Mt 16:18-19]. On him he builds the Church, and commands him to feed the sheep [Jn 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed the others were also what Peter was [apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, by which it is made clear that there is one Church and one chair.... If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he think that he holds the faith? If he deserts the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he be confident that he is in the Church?.” [St. Cyprian of Carthage - Unity of the Catholic Church 4; first edition (Treatise 1:4) (A.D. 251)]. These few topics (but a glimpse) were not only discussed but settled BEFORE Rome adopted Christianity (The Catholic Church) and eventually became The Roman Catholic Church as it also adopted its name after 313 A.D. Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church? Yes! Does this excuse all its mistakes and sins from the record? Of course not! As Christians, we are called to hold the church accountable, not leave it and let evil flourish within it. This refusal of accountability within every Christian has led to over 40,000 diferente Christian churches and the ignorance which has flourished from it. “This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.” Ephesians‬ ‭4:13-15‬ We are called by God to unite! What better church to do it under than the one he started.

The Gospel = Jesus died for OUR INIQUITIES, Jesus was BURIED (proof he died), Jesus was RESURRECTED BY GOD (defeated sin, evil and the devil) - a Christian is someone who BELIEVES that Christ did all those things, and did it for THEM. THEN and only then, through your walk with Christ and sanctification your life will reflect more Jesus like attributes and thus being Christ like. brother please read all 4 of the Gospels again, the above statement is concerning as if you "just" be Christ like without being SAVED, non of your being Christ likeness will help you if you did not put your trust in Jesus Christ for your salvation. Do not put the horse before the cart!

You are absolutely right.

It is sad to say that you elevate or value your experience and religion than what the Bible truly said about being a Christian. The true foundation of Christianity rests on the Scriptures (II Timothy 3:16), not on a specific religion nor experience. That said, it makes genuine Christianity apart and unpopular

Graeme Fajardo I totally agree. When did I ever say my faith was based on experience? My faith is based on my relationship with Christ and my knowledge of faith is based on scriptures. I was just sharing some of my experiences in the Catholic Church. When did I ever say faith was based on a specific religion? You rebuttal things I’ve never said nor do I believe. Reread my comment for a better understanding. No hate here fellow Christain ❤️.

"My religion is right. Yours is wrong." "In my experience....miracle" Sounds rather experiential than Biblical

Graeme Fajardo omg! I honestly meant to say I’m NOT saying my religion is right, yours is wrong. I’m so glad you mentioned that, I just fixed it! Now I see why you interpreted it the way you did lol. I don’t think any religion is all 100% right. I believe if your religion brings you closer to Christ, then you’re in the right religion.

noicecupcake no, I’m not catholic.

@noicecupcake Don't people keep photos of their parents, brothers/sisters, friends, pets and such in their homes? Heck, even posters of rock stars and people admired. It's the same premise when as Catholics we have statues of Mary and Saints. We respect them as they have lived their life for Christ and we look up to do so with just as much love and respect. And why would she not be considered in higher esteem than any other Apostle or Saint? God chose her personally to give birth and love His only Son, Himself in flesh. So yes she was without original sin and yes Jesus(God) loves/respected her very highly. Those are a few reasons we love Mother Mary and ask her to intercede for our prayers. I really wish people would sit with one another (a Catholic in this regard) and ask them questions in an open conversation rather than assume or get their information from tainted sources. Also, technically, in it's simplest form, anyone who truly believes in the Holy Trinity is "Christian."

@@MrBird-dw4ux God's word said it first. We just obey God's word.

Yeah but you just said do that or "live it daily" in order to be saved. That's heresy. We are not saved by daily doing something

At Mario Jesus said to take up your cross daily

The Catholics are the first Christians.

Smh

yesss, we all doess, we are christians, these pastors mislead people

these pastors have been raised in protestantism. they believe the essentials of the Christian faith. Catholics can recognize when the church is in error due to wolves entering. But the evangelicals have a problem doing that. they deny traditions while following traditions. they deny works, while performing works. it's all a big family fight over non essentials that we call essentials.

Mara L exactly

Helen Desta mmm

samuel honable how can you even say that it beats the whole reason why Jesus came to teach us how to be humble how to work and how to make work holy

Faith alone Saves, But the Faith that Saves is Not alone!!

Yamahall personal salvation, there is another divergence between the way of seeing the things of many evangelical groups and the doctrine. Catholic For them it’s enough to just have faith in Christ; for us, faith in Christ is not enough to be saved. A life is needed in conformity with the teaching of Christ (Lk 6,46). (Mt 7, 21). Actually, believing Christ means accepting his message and living it, without adding or removing anything. It is not enough to say: «I believe in Christ», to be saved. It is necessary to know your will and accept it as it is. How is it possible that many think to save themselves, without accepting this command of Jesus? In effect, updating the Lord's Supper is an order. (Lc 22,19). same as regards the forgiveness of sins. Is it possible for one to forgive sins? "they repeat. Well, ask Jesus. He who created heaven and earth has the power to commission men to forgive sins in his name? This means to truly believe in Christ: accept ALL his message and try to live it. Otherwise it is an empty faith, which does not lead to salvation. Say: "I believe in Christ and already" is a mistake, a vain illusion, which does not lead to salvation. We must accept and obey Christ, to be saved. You do not have to choose one or the other teaching, according to your own taste, but you have to accept everything Jesus says. This is to believe in Christ.

Since Jesus IS the way, the truth, and the life, isn't that all the more reason we should be members of HIS Church, and not some man-made Protestant denomination? "Without the way there is no going. Without the truth there is no knowing. Without the life there is no living." --St. Thomas a Kempis

allow me to share something that a good friend and evangelist said many times. "everyone will need to climb over Jesus Christ to get into hell"

Amen

What you responded were the main the reasons he has to explain things he said in the video.

What he explained in the video ISN’T REPRESENTATIVE of us. I’m giving our good sibling in Christ the benefit of the doubt, I believe it is “fine” to believe otherwise out of the dictate of our God-given conscience, but I don’t think it is fair to be misrepresented in such scope and gravity. Call a Spade a Spade and we don’t call it Rake. I’m all for discourse and dialogue, but misrepresentation does not do justice.

Purgatory is not real

@user-pv1sr8lo3z YOU: The so-called three Persons in the Trinity, *ME. Are you suggesting that the PHYSICAL Jesus was "GOD/Elohim" ?? No. Both Jesus and Apostle Peter tell you that the physical Jesus was a Man/Son of God that was INDWELLED by God* (at his water baptism, John 1:33-34), *and that it was GOD that indwelled Jesus that did the miracles -- Acts 10:38, John 14:10, Acts 2:22, John 10:36, Matthew 16:15-16* (Luke 1:35). Apostle Paul explains this in the original Greek of Phil 2:6-8.

Dude what details does he give? He’s so wrong it’s not even funny

@Logan D. Nope. I don't need to provide anything from you Mr entitled :). Nope. I am a genius thanks.

@Logan D. Glad you got it out your system. Well done.

Catholics do not call or consider the books apocryphal because they aren't. They are rightly called deutoricanical. Apoc in the Greek is hidden or unknown which the Deutoricanical books are not. Those books were in the Protestant KJV1611. Protestants should figure out when and why they were taken out. I'm not Catholic and can tell you that.

Are you sure? Given the dating of The Codex Vaticanus, we can see that the Bible was already completed and thus, closed canon. The Council of Nicaea happened after, in which the debate was over correct doctrine based on the Bible.

Thank you for your response, Tyler. The Questioning of the Christanity of Catholics (both east and west) seems strange - as they are the original Christians. As a Catholic, however, it would never cross my mind to ever question the Christianity of any trinitarian Protestant. I feel that both Catholics and (trinitarian) Protestants are unitied at least in our basic core beliefs.

@@ufo645 No, they were not the original Christians. If you want to know who the originals were and the firs time the word was even used read the book of Acts. Pretty sure all those men by their own admission are Jews! Paul for example says, I am an Israelite myself from the tribe of Benjamin. A Pharisee among Pharisee and more zealous for the law than all of you! They don't call themselves Christian or Catholic for that matter.

Jesus reference the book of wisdom .

I agree with what your saying. We should give honor to the Saints and Mary. And I do encounter some people who have a problem with respecting people. But we shouldn't bow down to them and have pictures of them when that goes against the Second Commandment. And that's coming from an Orthodox who is reborn.

Immaculate conception Co-redemptrix powers of Mary Is blasphemy ...these put Mary equal to Jésus .... A heresy

He’s got a point about the apocrypha contradicting the rest of the Bible. And Catholics do pray to others or at least through others like the saints instead of just praying to God only

@@howardzane572 You don't go to tho. Fr. You can go through the Lord man. Ima a Orthodox who is reborn. And I saw it from both sides. Don't see it as a religion, but see it as a relationship.

he probably confused the number of books from the septuagint with the books from the apocrypha the catholics left out a bunch of books from the septuagint when they compiled the deuterocanon, the ones that didnt address protestant claims

Perhaps he should get his facts straight before making such claims. Also the catholic bible was the first bible canonized.

The Septuagint was used extensively in the Near East by rabbis, and in the first century the apostles quoted prophecies from it in the books that became the New Testament. It was accepted as authoritative by the Jews of Alexandria and then by all Jews in Greek-speaking countries. Luther eliminated books because they held beliefs he didn't believe in.

A US thing

Indeed totally agree with you, Felicia.

@Mara L yes but apparently in the US some catholics don't call themselves Christians because Christians = protestant and vice versa

@Mara L : Christ-ian : Essentially means being a BELIEVER & FOLLOWER of Jesus Christ. However Catholics & Protestants have Different views on Grace & Salvation when it comes to their Christian Faith. As a Christian I don't Believe in 'Religion'..I Believe in having a 'Personal relationship' in Jesus Christ.

@Mara L : Religion is a 'Man-made' concept that explains a Human Belief system. As a 'Christ-ian' I Believe that Jesus is God in Flesh that Walked among us on Earth as Human beings that Died on the Cross for our Sins so that We could be Saved from God's Wrath. In having a 'Personal relationship' & Personal Experiences with Jesus Christ as our Savior and Redeemer we don't need a Man-made concept or 'Religion' to do so. The 'Roman Catholic Church' was Roman Rulership & society normalizing and Ordaining Christianity as the Primary basis of their Belief-system and giving it a Religious title. Hope my explanation helps. #GodBless

(1) The video's FIRST mistake is that there were individual congregational churches growing for 300 years BEFORE the Roman Catholic church was even started. --------------------- (2) The video's second mistake is the preacher CLAIMS that evangelicals believe that you are saved by grace alone - even implying that repentance is the RESULT of your regeneration. However the PROBLEM with that is even this preacher teaches (as most evangelicals do) that man can decide to "accept" Christ and become saved. Of course the decision to "accept" is clearly a "works gospel" and the doctrine of "accepting Christ" is not found in ANY Scripture (if you disagree send chapter and verse). -------------------------- (3) The preacher states that it is NOT the saint's job to decide who is a christian or not. That is heresy. The church consists of BOTH saved "wheat" sown by God and unsaved "tares" sown by Satan [Mat 13] The Bible COMMANDS the saints to (a) identify the "tares" by their "fruit" of bad behavior or false doctrines and (b) rebuke these people (in case they are just an ignorant "babe" in Christ and not a tare) and then (c) EXPEL all those who refuse to repent. So while this preacher says that it's NOT our duty to decide who is a REAL Christian and who is an unsaved tare of false teacher... the Bible say the OPPOSITE and it COMMANDS us to do exactly what the preacher pretends we cannot. ----------------------------- (4) It was always a MAJOR PART of the Bible that unsaved "tares" would infiltrate the church of saved "wheat" and the "leaven" of their false doctrines would corrupt the church - and eventually the entire Christian "Kingdom". In fact, just read Revelation chapter 2 & 3 to see the extent of this corruption before the end of 100AD... two hundred years BEFORE the Roman Catholic church was even started. The fact that today MOST evangelical churches (like this video) teach some form of false "works gospel" where people can become saved by (a) saying a sinner's prayer or (b) by making an alter call or by (c) repenting of your sins or (d) by "accepting" Christ or by (e) being baptized in water or (f) etc, etc, ---------------------------------- (5) So... yes the Catholic church is a "Christian" church, it is just a heretical christian church. Just like evangelical churches are all "Christian" churches but MOST are heretical Christian churches. ------------------------------------- All this is the FULFILLMENT of the Gospel that unsaved "tares" would infiltrate the church (being sown by Satan) is shown in the fact that MOST of the evangelical churches are teaching a gospel that was known as Semi-Pelagianism (and declared heresy by the early church) and later known as Arminianism (declared heresy by most Reformers) ------------------------------------ However, there are TWO important facts to consider: (a) since Pentecost there have always been real saints (wheat/sheep) who have preached the True Gospel and followed God's command to EXPEL unsaved "tares" from their churches - but now, at the end, there are few real saints (saved wheat/sheep) left on the earth. (b) there is a generation of Last Saints... the ones who never die and are "changed" (at the resurrection) in the "twinkling of an eye. AND these Last Saints preach Biblical mysteries which had remaine "closed-up" and "sealed" since Daniel's time [Dan 12::4 and 12:8-10] AND these Last Saints "shall see ALL these things", meaning the fulfillment of ALL Great Tribulation prophecies [Mat 24:15 and 24:33] AND these Last Saints "prophesy again" about these mysteries as the Seventh Trumpet "begins to sound" [Rev 10:7-11] --------------------------------------- You can see some of the mysteries taught by the Last Saints at: www.5thKingdomofHeaven.com ------------------------------------------

So while this preacher says that it's NOT our duty to decide who is a REAL Christian and who is an unsaved tare of false teacher... the Bible say the OPPOSITE and it COMMANDS us to do exactly what the preacher pretends we cannot. ----------------------------- (4) It was always a MAJOR PART of the Bible that unsaved "tares" would infiltrate the church of saved "wheat" and the "leaven" of their false doctrines would corrupt the church - and eventually the entire Christian "Kingdom". In fact, just read Revelation chapter 2 & 3 to see the extent of this corruption before the end of 100AD... two hundred years BEFORE the Roman Catholic church was even started. The fact that today MOST evangelical churches (like this video) teach some form of false "works gospel" where people can become saved by (a) saying a sinner's prayer or (b) by making an alter call or by (c) repenting of your sins or (d) by "accepting" Christ or by (e) being baptized in water or (f) etc, etc, ---------------------------------- (5) So... yes the Catholic church is a "Christian" church, it is just a heretical christian church. Just like evangelical churches are all "Christian" churches but MOST are heretical Christian churches. ------------------------------------- All this is the FULFILLMENT of the Gospel that unsaved "tares" would infiltrate the church (being sown by Satan) is shown in the fact that MOST of the evangelical churches are teaching a gospel that was known as Semi-Pelagianism (and declared heresy by the early church) and later known as Arminianism (declared heresy by most Reformers) ------------------------------------ However, there are TWO important facts to consider: (a) since Pentecost there have always been real saints (wheat/sheep) who have preached the True Gospel and followed God's command to EXPEL unsaved "tares" from their churches - but now, at the end, there are few real saints (saved wheat/sheep) left on the earth. (b) there is a generation of Last Saints... the ones who never die and are "changed" (at the resurrection) in the "twinkling of an eye. AND these Last Saints preach Biblical mysteries which had remaine "closed-up" and "sealed" since Daniel's time [Dan 12::4 and 12:8-10] AND these Last Saints "shall see ALL these things", meaning the fulfillment of ALL Great Tribulation prophecies [Mat 24:15 and 24:33] AND these Last Saints "prophesy again" about these mysteries as the Seventh Trumpet "begins to sound" [Rev 10:7-11] --------------------------------------- You can see some of the mysteries taught by the Last Saints at: www.5thKingdomofHeaven.com ------------------------------------------

Hello Peter I hope you are well. You say you were not kind to Catholics. I was just hoping you could explain to me why you would be unkind to Catholics?

Are Christian just professing faith in Christ? NO! Christ said, "NOT everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, BUT he who DOES the WILL of My Father in heaven." (Matt. 7:21). This is the problem for many - OBEDIENCE to the commandments. When one is told to obey, he or she reacts "NO, don't tell me what to do, I'm a christian anyway. This and that what I want to do." Christ is best example of obedience. He obeyed to point of death (Philip 2:5-8). So we must follow what He says and don't just believe. STUDY WITH US IN THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO OR CHURCH OF CHRIST to know the will of God that should be obeyed to enter the kingdom of heaven. Thank you.

@@josetierra100 I was taught in a private school at age 13 that Catholics were not Christians, informed that the group I had entered at 11 was protestant, and that, therefore, I was protestant. I had been in the j.w. cult from infancy till grade 3, and taught that Christians were heathens and were earmarked by "jehovah" for annihilation. I was an agnostic from age 8 till 11. At about age 14, I was taught by seventh day adventists that Catholics are antichrist and told historical lies that there was a different church for 2000 years whose saints the Catholics killed for as long as Catholics have existed. They were represented as though they did everything the muslims have actually done to Catholics. When I fasted and prayed, I'd often start to hear the HOLY SPIRIT defend the Catholic Church and would tell myself that I had something blocking me from hearing GOD correctly. Eventually, while writing a book against the Catholic Church, I had a miraculous change of heart that immediately put all my years of research into proper perspective, and I sought to become a Catholic, but it was 5 years, because I didn't know how to tell my mother and siblings who had been going through the same thing as me. We all converted together. They had been afraid I'd reject them if they became Catholic.

Amen. God bless you

Why does the pope bless troops to go to war and shed blood,even killing other Catholics from other countries???? how can this church be considered universal if they kill their own kind?????????????????

Do you pray to mary and dead saints? Communication with the dead is necromancy.

Chris Israel Jesus (and in a sense Peter since he also talked) talked to Moses and Elijah. Did He commit necromancy as a human? Please know the definition of necromancy before you accuse us Catholics as one. God bless.

+Phil- Would you like to know what worship God approves of???? also does your religion teach you and prepare you of the coming Armageddon????? the last days stated in Matthew 24?????

Those are indeed foundational beliefs but you must believe the Bible in its entirety. Not adding on required actions or additional writings. Salvation is through faith alone, not works.

Catholics seem to be more like pharisees than Christians. Christ was all about humility and made it clear that earthly possessions are a waste yet catholic buildings are some of the most expensive buildings per sqft. Also, catholics still believe you need to confess to a man but Jesus made it clear that He is the way to God. Also, there should be no other Gods so why do catholics pray to everyone under the sun?

"You didn't use different versions of the Bible to support Catholicism" The Catholic Church uses their own Bible, using different versions used by Protestants would mean nothing.

@@chanting_germ. The Catholic Church did not write the Bible whatsoever, merely compiling a collection of Books does not make you the author of those Books. The Catholic Church is not even the first entity to compile the Books of the Bible into a single collection. 326. Athanasius, bishop at Alexandria, mentions all of the New Testament books. 315-386. Cyril, bishop at Jerusalem, gives a list of all New Testament books except Revelation. 270. Eusebius, bishop at Caesarea, called the Father of ecclesiastical history, gives an account of the persecution of Emperor Diocletian whose edict required that all churches be destroyed and the Scriptures burned. He lists all the books of the New Testament. He was commissioned by Constantine to have transcribed fifty copies of the Bible for use of the churches of Constantinople. 185-254. Origen, born at Alexandria, names all the books of both the Old and New Testaments. 165-220. Clement, of Alexandria, names all the books of the New Testament except Philemon, James, 2 Peter and 3 John. In addition we are told by Eusebius, who had the works of Clement, that he gave explanations and quotations from all the canonical books. 160-240. Turtullian, contemporary of Origen and Clement, mentions all the New Testament books except 2 Peter, James and 2 John. 135-200. Irenaeus, quoted from all New Testament books except Philemon, Jude, James and 3 John. 100-147. Justin Martyr, mentions the Gospels as being four in number and quotes from them and some of the epistles of Paul and Revelation. Besides the above, the early church fathers have handed down in their writings quotations from all the New Testament books so much so that it is said that the entire New Testament can be reproduced from their writings alone.

How does one follow Christ saying the rosary to Mary, and praying to saints, Christ never did that. How can one work their way to heaven when Christ tells us it is by faith?

@Feedthe5000 those were times of hyperbole. And John 6. Was not. It is not a symbol. If it wasn’t a symbol then Paul would not have to mention to not take of the cup unworthy or in sin. If it’s only a symbol then non-Christians could take it too.

@Feedthe5000 it’s either one and no it dosent determine it but Jesus did double down that it IS HIM. Lastly Jesus also let the ones who left him over that teaching leave. He never clarified. He didn’t say oh wait JK! He let them go and even asks does this offend you?

However the PROBLEM with that is even this preacher teaches (as most evangelicals do) that man can decide to "accept" Christ and become saved. Of course the decision to "accept" is clearly a "works gospel" and the doctrine of "accepting Christ" is not found in ANY Scripture (if you disagree send chapter and verse). -------------------------- (3) The preacher states that it is NOT the saint's job to decide who is a christian or not.

Hey can you by any chance send me verses on how Mary remain without sin, I’m trying to explain to a friend.

@@itsmetiqui1136 Mary remaining without sin is not in the bible. When the church compiled the bible, they do not include all, and those that are left, remained as written tradition. Since the authority is in the church and not in the bible 1 Tim 3:15 says that the church is the pillar and foundation of truth... So we obey on their decision with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, that is why our church doctrines and dogmas have consistent truth. And if I am not mistaken, in one of the apparition of Mary, she said about the Immaculate Conception or Immaculate (her) Mary? I'm not sure about the details

Mary recognized her sinful state Luke 1:46-48a Mary brought a sin offering to the priest Luke 2:24 & Leviticus 12:7-8 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23

@@ebelebryan3159 Romans 3:23 says, “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” First John 1:8 adds, “If any man says he has no sin he is a liar and the truth is not in him.” These texts could not be clearer for millions of Protestants: “How could anyone believe Mary was free from all sin in light of these Scripture passages? What’s more, Mary herself said, ‘My soul rejoices in God my savior’ in Luke 1:47. She clearly understood herself to be a sinner if she admits to needing a savior.” The Catholic Answer Not a few Protestants are surprised to discover the Catholic Church actually agrees that Mary was “saved.” Indeed, Mary needed a savior! However, Mary was “saved” from sin in a most sublime manner. She was given the grace to be “saved” completely from sin so that she never committed even the slightest transgression. Protestants tend to emphasize God’s “salvation” almost exclusively to the forgiveness of sins actually committed. However, Sacred Scripture indicates that salvation can also refer to man being protected from sinning before the fact: Now to him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you without blemish before the presence of his glory with rejoicing, to the only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and for ever. (Jude 24-25) Get the free ebook "Getting Started with the Early Church" Six hundred years ago, the great Franciscan theologian Duns Scotus explained that falling into sin could be likened to a man approaching unaware a deep ditch. If he falls into the ditch, he needs someone to lower a rope and save him. But if someone were to warn him of the danger ahead, preventing the man from falling into the ditch at all, he would be saved from falling in the first place. Likewise, Mary was saved from sin by receiving the grace to be preserved from it. But she was still saved. All Have Sinned Except . . . But what about “all have sinned” (Rom. 3:23) and “if any man says he has no sin he is a liar and the truth is not in him” (1 John 1:8)? Wouldn’t “all” and “any man” include Mary? On the surface, this sounds reasonable. But this way of thinking carried to its logical conclusion would list Jesus Christ in the company of sinners as well. No faithful Christian would dare say that. Yet no Christian can deny the plain texts of Scripture declaring Christ’s full humanity either. Thus, to take 1 John 1:8 in a strict, literal sense would apply “any man” to Jesus as well. The truth is Jesus Christ was an exception to Romans 3:23 and 1 John 1:8. And the Bible tells us he was in Hebrews 4:15: “Christ was tempted in all points even as we are and yet he was without sin.” The question now is: Are there any other exceptions to this rule? Yes-millions of them. Both Romans 3:23 and 1 John 1:9 deal with personal rather than original sin. (Romans 5 deals with original sin.) And there are two exceptions to that general biblical norm as well. But for now, we will simply deal with Romans 3:23 and 1 John 1:8. First John 1:8 obviously refers to personal sin because in the very next verse, John tells us, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins . . .” We do not confess original sin; we confess personal sins. The context of Romans 3:23 makes clear that it too refers to personal sin: None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands, no one seeks for God. All have turned aside, together they have gone wrong; no one does good, not even one. Their throat is an open grave. They use their tongues to deceive. The venom of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. (Rom. 3:10-14) Original sin is not something we do; it is something we’ve inherited. Romans chapter three deals with personal sin because it speaks of sins committed by the sinner. With this in mind, consider this: Has a baby in the womb or a child of two ever committed a personal sin? No. To sin a person has to know the act he is about to perform is sinful while freely engaging his will in carrying it out. Without the proper faculties to enable them to sin, children before the age of accountability and anyone who does not have the use of his intellect and will cannot sin. So, there are and have been millions of exceptions to Romans 3:23 and 1 John 1:8. Still, how do we know Mary is an exception to the norm of “all have sinned?” And more specifically, is there biblical support for this claim? Yes, there is much biblical support. The Name Says it All And [the angel Gabriel] came to [Mary] and said, “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!” But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.” (Luke 1:28-30) Many Protestants will insist this text to be little more than a common greeting of the Archangel Gabriel to Mary. “What does this have to do with Mary being without sin?” Yet, the truth is, according to Mary herself, this was no common greeting. The text reveals Mary to have been “greatly troubled at the saying and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be” (Luke 1:29, emphasis added). What was it about this greeting that was so uncommon for Mary to react this way? We can consider at least two key aspects. First, according to biblical scholars (as well as Pope John Paul II), the angel did more than simply greet Mary. The angel actually communicated a new name or title to her. (cf. Redemptoris Mater, 8, 9). In Greek, the greeting was kaire, kekaritomene, or “Hail, full of grace.” Generally speaking, when one greeted another with kaire, a name or title would be found in the immediate context. “Hail, king of the Jews” in John 19:3 and “Claudias Lysias, to his Excellency the governor Felix, greeting” (Acts 23:26) are two biblical examples of this. The fact that the angel replaces Mary’s name in the greeting with “full of grace” was anything but common. This would be analogous to me speaking to one of our tech guys at Catholic Answers and saying, “Hello, he who fixes computers.” In Hebrew culture, names and name changes tell us something permanent about the character and calling of the one named. Just recall the name changes of Abram to Abraham (from “father” to “father of the multitudes”) in Genesis 17:5, Saray to Sarah (“my princess” to “princess”), in Genesis 17:15 and Jacob to Israel (“supplanter” to “he who prevails with God”) in Genesis 32:28. In each case, the names reveal something permanent about the one named. Abraham and Sarah transition from being a “father” and “princess” of one family to being “father” and “princess” or “mother” of the entire people of God (see Rom. 4:1-18; Is. 51:1-2). They become patriarch and matriarch of God’s people forever. Jacob/Israel becomes the patriarch whose name, “he who prevails with God,” continues forever in the Church, which is called “the Israel of God” (Gal. 6:16). The People of God will forever “prevail with God” in the image of the patriarch Jacob. What’s in a name? According to Scripture, quite a lot. St. Luke uses the perfect passive participle, kekaritomene, as his “name” for Mary. This word literally means “she who has been graced” in a completed sense. This verbal adjective, “graced,” is not just describing a simple past action. Greek has another tense for that. The perfect tense is used to indicate that an action has been completed in the past resulting in a present state of being. “Full of grace” is Mary’s name. So what does it tell us about Mary? Well, the average Christian is not completed in grace and in a permanent sense (see Phil. 3:8-12). But according to the angel, Mary is. You and I sin, not because of grace, but because of a lack of grace, or a lack of our cooperation with grace, in our lives. This greeting of the angel is one clue into the unique character and calling of the Mother of God. Only Mary is given the name “full of grace” and in the perfect tense, indicating that this permanent state of Mary was completed. From Catholic Answer

YOU: What I believe is that each one of us have different ways of worshipping the One True God, which led to different Christian denominations to show. *ME: The different denominations are based in the intentional or un-intentional false interpretation of the original Greek Biblical text -- Acts 20:29-30, etc* And there is only ONE way to worship GOD -- and that is by the Spirit -- John 4:24 -- not by what you physically do.

THAT is why Jesus and John instructed Believers to NOT believe that God's infallible spiritual truth comes from some sinful man on earth -- Matthew 23:9, 1John 2:27 -- God's Truth comes only directly from GOD/Holy Spirit that indwells you. Stop thinking "denominations" and just study Scripture for yourself, asking the Holy Spirit to teach you Truth -- then as you attend different denominations, YOU will know which ones are teaching lies/falsehoods -- then you leave and try another..... I can tell you from experience, ALL physical denominations are corrupted by greedy wolves in the pulpits who desperately want power over God's people just like the Pharisees (Matthew 23). Your first clue should be if the Pastor had invented the false tradition that the "pastor" is the boss of the church -- that HE is the one in control of decisions for the church -- that false traditions follows the evil of the Roman popes' authority (Matthew 20:25-26), and contradicts 1Corinth 12 and 1Peter 5:3..

You can’t eat Jesus, that’s not rocket science my friend Y’all don’t even eat the bread and the wine as it states in the Bible Secondly the Bible commands us to carry each other’s cross, so you don’t need to confess to the world, not even the Catholics do that Ur priest is just like any other brother at the church. You can confess your sins to the father and ask for forgiveness directly through the Holy Spirit You don’t know what ur talking about, who are you to say who’s free from their sin and who we should confess to?! There isn’t even bible foundation for that

Dear Christina, you need to get saved. Here is Bible for you as you clearly don't know the content of NEW TESTAMENT. Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. blessings

​@@zbawieniejestwieczne9013 No one is arguing that we are not saved through faith. The question is - are we saved by faith alone? The bible clearly says the answer is no. I believe the formula often used is "by grace, through faith, working in love." Analogy: Have you ever ridden as a passenger of a motorcycle? You have to lean with the turns - which can be terrifying as you are actually leaning towards the road when you want to lean away and stay upright. You need to get away from a fire - there is no way to run fast enough but someone offers to give you a ride on a motorcycle. You need three things to get away from the fire: 1. A motorcycle and a driver (Grace and God) 2. The belief that the driver can get you to safety (Faith) 3. The actual action of getting on the scary donor-mobile and then doing the scary things the driver tells you to do (Works - Obedience of Faith) If you are missing the third it really doesn't matter that the first two exist. Actually, if you remove any of the three components you will not get to heaven: 1. no grace - atheism is true 2. no faith - you are pharisee who has already received his reward 3. no works - your faith is dead and you'll be told "depart from me you evil-doer" Obedience of Faith. Jesus told us we needed to be baptized, to confess our sins, and to eat his flesh to be saved. "But the good thief..." Yes, the good thief had special circumstances. Others may also have special circumstances, but those are OTHERS not YOU. If you are TOLD to wash in the Jordan river 7x it doesn't really matter if another is cleansed with a touch - you must wash to be clean. The act of being obedient in faith is what God rewards. Trust, humility, a contrite heart, and submitting to the greater knowledge and wisdom of God when you do not understand - those actions are what save you. Those are all Works done in Faith - trusting in Grace.

James 2;26 As the body without spirit is dead FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD!

Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Acts 16:30-31 “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” + Acts 4:12 “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” + John 5:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life."

YOU: I am a catholic, I was raised as one and I am proud of it. *ME: Soooo.... you admit that you commit the Sin of Pride. And you are proud because your Roman hierarchy teaches heresy that contradicts the Original Apostles ??* For example, the Apostle/Canon teaches that DEATH entered the world by ONE MAN/Adam (Romans 5:12), and that Death/Satan were destroyed by one ONE MAN/Jesus dying on the cross (Hebrews 2:14, Genesis 3:15). -- ROME teaches that Death entered the world by the WOMAN/Eve and therefore Mary is the "new Eve" (no NT verses). Are you going to follow the heresies of Rome or are you going to follow the Apostle/Original Church ?? Can't follow BOTH cuz they contradict/oppose each other.

Please get a Hebrew/Greek/English bible so that you can look up the definitions of the actual Greek or Hebrew words in a Concordance -- you will be shocked at the many false translations there are in the English bibles which change the teachings of the Original Greek Church writings.

Hi. Great job you have done here. The Eucharist used to be and sometimes is still a doubt to me as it is odd to think of eating flesh and drinking blood. And thats why some of the followers out there has left after those words - "I say onto you if you would not be eating flesh nor drinking blood of Son of Men you can't be saved". This is confusing and so that happened - guys just gone. And actually - Martin Luther did and the main Luteran Church still keeps the tradition of Holy Eucharist. May God be with You. :)

This was in John 6, 48-58. There are some interesting dynamics in these teachings out here. First Jesus says that who believes in Him has the eternal life. But then it is starting - I am the Bread Father has sent, but also that the manna was not the real bread, so He denies the food itself as being lets say holy but also He emphasise the neccesity of real consumption of his body and blood. Maybe I am not that clear in my writings.. So we in the same time have to EAT and believe in what we really eat - when we believe in what we eat (such an odd and strange and unusual idea) we have eternal life. This argument He has there with Jews is fully soaked with conceptions. It Is so dynamic and deep I cant even breathe.. :)

Asaph Vapor john 6:41-51,Matthew 26:27-28, Luke 22:19-20 Sacrament of the Eucharist

Asaph Vapor what? Please explain!!!!

Asaph Vapor it would appear you are contradicting yourself....

youre such a hypocrite catholics are constantly going "who cares if the catholic church committed genocide, doesnt mean catholicism is wrong" and yet here you are dismissing protestantism on the basis that luther is a horrible person (he is a horrible person I don't disbelieve that) catholics also have no problem rubbing the whole "there are 100 denominations" thing in protestants faces, but suddenly when it gives you the opportunity to bash protestants suddenly its no longer relevant and all protestants are likeminded of luther

W response

Interesting response, though I'd argue what does a man's personal behaviors have to do with legitimacy of a message? Good or bad, Luther made points that eventually became accepted by other people with critical thinking. It was not a serious institution whatsoever, but rather people wanting to know truth over dogma. From here, it makes sense many would keep the reformation going without neccesarily following Luther (like you said, he himself insulted those who interpreted things differently, which confirms that there were protestants who disagreed with some of his statements)

I agree my brother even though i'm not catholic but raised assemblies of god (but actually practicing & believing Non-denominational Christianity), you spoke the truth because catholics, protestant and even Orthodox are indeed the real Christians.

Evangelical Christians are an embarrassment to Christianity

. In order for you to know your position or belief by default you would know other's positions around you also.

Appreciated that also, as a Catholic. All the best.

it was symbolic because they had his dead body and they did not drink his blood and eat his flesh. If the apostles took literal then they would have. If they took it symbolicly then so do I.

You should study the New Testament carefully and you would know that Jesus is Not talking about cannibalism!!

For the Jews --cannibalism and especially the consumption of blood was unthinkable and an abomination! Check out the Old Testament -- that was their "bible" at the time. Jesus said many things that were not literal.

@@judiw2045 But how is it you go about discerning that this particular instance is not literal? We have scripture, where early followers of Christ showed MAJOR reservations to the principle of the "real presence of Christ" in the Eucharist and Christ was given multiple instances to say "this is not literal, Do this a symbol etc." yet he NEVER did it. He explicitly and emphatically said multiple times "this is my body, this is my blood." This is where protestants just are ignorant. Because they come from an ideology of sola scriptura, then make huge inferences, and huge mental gymnastics to perform eisegesis rather than exegesis. You can't have it both ways. I have a friend that tries to say because when we put consecrated bread under a microscope, we cannot see anything that confirms its jesus' body or flesh from a scientific standpoint that the real presence does not exist. Well Jesus says that when baptized people have a washing/renewing of the spirit that is not observable or provable by science either. Does this mean Jesus lied? If Jesus Christ is divine and has the power to perform miracles that are unobservable and provable by the human eye or science, then has the power to accomplish what he says he can. You cannot isolate different aspects and say well Jesus can do this when it pertains to Baptism, but cant do the same thing when it comes to the real presence of himself in the eucharist. Its blatant intellectual dishonestly and incoherent and inerrant reasoning.

@@seanwhitaker484 I will not continue to argue the Eucharist with you. However, you need to look at all scriptures in context of the culture of the time. Also -- you stated that Jesus never said "Do this a symbol...." Well, consider that He spoke at many times in parables. When asked, this is what He said........... Matthew 13:10-16 10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” 11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: ‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; 15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.’ 16 But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. Yes, I know that the Last Supper is not a parable. But consider, just for a moment, why Jesus may not have said, "Hey, this is a symbol"

Reasons why I wouldn't be catholic based on scripture, and personal experience after knowing these facts, let me show you (John 14:6) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (Exodus 20:4)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. (Leviticus 26:1)You shall not make idols for yourselves or erect an image or pillar, and you shall not set up a figured stone in your land to bow down to it, for I am the Lord your God (Deuteronomy 4:16)Beware lest you act corruptly by making a carved image for yourselves, in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female (John 4:24 )God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. (Isaiah 42:8 )am the Lord; that is My name. And My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images (1 timothy 2:5 )For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus (2 timothy 4 3-4)For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths (Mathew 7:21-23) Not everyone who calls me Lord will enter God’s kingdom. The only people who will enter are those who do what my Father in heaven wants. 22 On that last Day many will call me Lord. They will say, ‘Lord, Lord, by the power of your name we spoke for God. And by your name we forced out demons and did many miracles.’ 23 Then I will tell those people clearly, ‘Get away from me, you people who do wrong. I never knew you.’ God bless you guys !!!! 🙏 seek the kingdom of heaven, trust in God's Word only, let the Holy Spirits guide you, no reason to argue got any questions pray and ask God to clarify that's directly from the Lord, and God's the same yesterday today and forever!!!

flattbutt believer. nicely said. I wish more shared this sentiment. For if they did, perhaps they could concentrate on loving each other in Christ and so, perhaps more of Christ could be shown to the world. That would be a wonderful thing.

I agree! It is important to look at those things we all have in common and share. Historically, Catholics and Protestants agree that Protestantism can find its roots in Martin Luther in the early 16th Century - thus, what we know as Lutherans. There is a statement between Protestants and Catholics that ACTUALLY STATES THOSE SHARED BELIEFS ------> The Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification by The Lutheran World Federation and the Catholic Church. www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/chrstuni/documents/rc_pc_chrstuni_doc_31101999_cath-luth-joint-declaration_en.html - Although a short document and well worth reading you will find much of this salvation theology as mentioned in paragraphs 5, 15, 16, 24, and 27.

If you want to belong to the early Catholic church, The Orthodox is a combination of that Ancient Catholic Church It was not called neither at that time, but because of our differences we separated. In our Church prayer we say we believe in one holy Catholic and apostolic church which the word Catholic is a Greek word that means United ". not universal. We have Ortho. Correct, doxa glory. so we have correct glory to Christ. And we held the same traditions same baptism which in Greek means to fully immerse the baby 3 times quick dunk to resemble the trinity, not effusion of just pouring water. One Russian American priest did this and was criticized for it. Then we say the Nicene Creed a little different but that difference makes it very important. You don't change this, but the first pope did and that cause one of the reasons of the split. So generally outside of Politics, the main reasons were the changes and we Orthodox would not change. We are the same for 2000 yrs where as the Catholic keeps changing. My friend just told me you don't have to fast meat on Wednesdays and Fridays, she said only Fridays and only during lent. WOW. We have to fast meat and fish every wednesday and Friday of our life!!!!! Now that is change over change. I wonder about the protestants what they do. someone told me the Luthern try very hard to be like Orthodox christians. and maybe the Episcopolians. Evangelicals are in another direction. I don't know much about them.

Yes orthodox is a BIG deal I love you Allen... And everything up to protestant i agree with you pretty much 100% But you sir are being quite quite blinded. It's actually quite grave. Almost as bad as those who dont believe. Because the degree of blindness is relative. You ought to know and understand more from your position. Yet I as a lay person even know orthodox is a big deal.

@@PatrickInCayman YOU: you do realize there are different kinds of pride, right? *ME: The Bible does not differentiate between "types of pride" -- all PRIDE is lumped together as a sin.* Pride is doing/believing things your own way, instead of doing/believing things GOD's way. *This was the sin of Adam in the Garden* -- instead of doing the Will of GOD and not eating the fruit of the Tree, Adam insisted on doing his OWN will and ate of the Tree. *This is also the sin Mary committed in John 2:1-5* -- instead of doing the Will of GOD/Messiah and there be no miracle at the wedding, Mary insisted that her OWN will be done and instructed the servants to stand there staring at Messiah until he coughed up more wine. *This is also the sin of anyone that takes PRIDE in the teachings of sinful men in Rome -- teachings that blatantly contradict the Apostles/Canon.* Romans 5:12 proves wrong Rome's teaching that Death entered the world by the Woman/Eve, thus Mary must be the "new Eve" and co-Redemtrix (1Corinth 15:21-22,45,47, Romans 5:12-21). Hebrews 2:14 (Genesis 3:15) proves wrong Rome's teaching that Mary crushes/destroys Satan. Matthew 23:9 proves that there is no church office as a spiritual "pope/papa/father" who believes that God's infallible truth flows thru him (1John 2:27). Matthew 20:25-26 proves that one sinful man called the Roman Pope does NOT have authority over the entire congregation of GOD (1Peter 5:3). Matthew 5:19-20 and Leviticus 17:10-11 prove that Jewish Jesus was NOT telling the Jews to drink Jesus' actual blood sacrificed for our sins (Hebrews 9:12,26-28). *Colossians 1:12-14,20-22, 1Corinth 6:11, Hebrews 10:10,14, 1Peter 2:24, etc proves false the Roman doctrine of purgatory (2Peter 2:1-3). The list is ENDLESS how Rome's doctrines contradict God's Holy Scripture -- to take PRIDE in belonging to such a heretical "church" that contradicts GOD is the ultimate form of PRIDE -- and like Proverbs 16:18 states, your destination is Destruction in the Lake of Fire (Rev 2:18-22) Suggest you study GOD's written words a little more thoroughly.

That is ridiculous. First the REAL church (the saved wheat and sheep) are the "Bride of Christ". Secondly, Jesus was very clear that the church consists of unsaved tares (sown by Satan) and saved wheat/sheep (sown by God). The field is the world - both Jew and Gentile. The "fruit" of that field is either "wheat or tares". Both grow together until the "harvest" where the REAL Christians are gathered to Christ and the unsaved tares (being "children of Satan") are cast into the eternal Lake of Fire. This is very basic and essential theology child. Why is it "news" to you? ------------------

A few things, the canon wasn’t established in Trent, they were established the fourth century in Carthage. That’s earlier than the Jewish canon was set in stone. If you’d look into it more, then you’d see the Christian canon was established first and then the Jewish was. Second, the Jews got it wrong on Jesus, so are you really going to trust them on the canon of scripture?

@@starkiller7768 yes... your point?

(1) The video's FIRST mistake is that there were individual congregational churches growing for 300 years BEFORE the Roman Catholic church was even started. --------------------- (2) The video's second mistake is the preacher CLAIMS that evangelicals believe that you are saved by grace alone - even implying that repentance is the RESULT of your regeneration. However the PROBLEM with that is even this preacher teaches (as most evangelicals do) that man can decide to "accept" Christ and become saved. Of course the decision to "accept" is clearly a "works gospel" and the doctrine of "accepting Christ" is not found in ANY Scripture (if you disagree send chapter and verse). -------------------------- (3) The preacher states that it is NOT the saint's job to decide who is a christian or not. That is heresy. The church consists of BOTH saved "wheat" sown by God and unsaved "tares" sown by Satan [Mat 13] The Bible COMMANDS the saints to (a) identify the "tares" by their "fruit" of bad behavior or false doctrines and (b) rebuke these people (in case they are just an ignorant "babe" in Christ and not a tare) and then (c) EXPEL all those who refuse to repent. So while this preacher says that it's NOT our duty to decide who is a REAL Christian and who is an unsaved tare of false teacher... the Bible say the OPPOSITE and it COMMANDS us to do exactly what the preacher pretends we cannot. ----------------------------- (4) It was always a MAJOR PART of the Bible that unsaved "tares" would infiltrate the church of saved "wheat" and the "leaven" of their false doctrines would corrupt the church - and eventually the entire Christian "Kingdom". In fact, just read Revelation chapter 2 & 3 to see the extent of this corruption before the end of 100AD... two hundred years BEFORE the Roman Catholic church was even started. The fact that today MOST evangelical churches (like this video) teach some form of false "works gospel" where people can become saved by (a) saying a sinner's prayer or (b) by making an alter call or by (c) repenting of your sins or (d) by "accepting" Christ or by (e) being baptized in water or (f) etc, etc, ---------------------------------- (5) So... yes the Catholic church is a "Christian" church, it is just a heretical christian church. Just like evangelical churches are all "Christian" churches but MOST are heretical Christian churches. ------------------------------------- All this is the FULFILLMENT of the Gospel that unsaved "tares" would infiltrate the church (being sown by Satan) is shown in the fact that MOST of the evangelical churches are teaching a gospel that was known as Semi-Pelagianism (and declared heresy by the early church) and later known as Arminianism (declared heresy by most Reformers) ------------------------------------ However, there are TWO important facts to consider: (a) since Pentecost there have always been real saints (wheat/sheep) who have preached the True Gospel and followed God's command to EXPEL unsaved "tares" from their churches - but now, at the end, there are few real saints (saved wheat/sheep) left on the earth. (b) there is a generation of Last Saints... the ones who never die and are "changed" (at the resurrection) in the "twinkling of an eye. AND these Last Saints preach Biblical mysteries which had remaine "closed-up" and "sealed" since Daniel's time [Dan 12::4 and 12:8-10] AND these Last Saints "shall see ALL these things", meaning the fulfillment of ALL Great Tribulation prophecies [Mat 24:15 and 24:33] AND these Last Saints "prophesy again" about these mysteries as the Seventh Trumpet "begins to sound" [Rev 10:7-11] --------------------------------------- You can see some of the mysteries taught by the Last Saints at: www.5thKingdomofHeaven.com ------------------------------------------

Are Christian just professing faith in Christ? NO! Christ said, "NOT everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, BUT he who DOES the WILL of My Father in heaven." (Matt. 7:21). This is the problem for many - OBEDIENCE to the commandments. When one is told to obey, he or she reacts "NO, don't tell me what to do, I'm a christian anyway. This and that what I want to do." Christ is best example of obedience. He obeyed to point of death (Philip 2:5-8). So we must follow what He says and don't just believe. STUDY WITH US IN THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO OR CHURCH OF CHRIST to know the will of God that should be obeyed to enter the kingdom of heaven. Thank you.

@Asaph Vapor It has been God's policy to teach His laws to obey them for obedience is a manifestation of love for God. He said, "...if you earnestly OBEY My commandments which I command you today, to love the LORD your God" (Deut. 11:13). If anyone does not obey, "and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD..." (Deut. 11:28). Apostle John taught, "For this is the love of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS (I John 5:3). The Lord Jesus also taught, "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me" (John 14:21). So, He commanded to enter in Him to be saved (John 10:9). Entering in Him is by entering the flock (John 10:16) which is His Church (Matt. 16:18; Acts 20:28) - the Church Of Christ or IGLESIA NI CRISTO in Filipino. In this Church, you will learn God's pure gospel because a messenger of God was sent to preach His message. Thank you and God bless.
