How Can Catholics Say There's No Salvation Outside the Church? 

Propaganda, courtesy of JohnnyPaul2

1 JOHN 4:7-12: Beloved, let us love one another because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten of God and has knowledge of God. The person without love has known nothing of God, for God is love. God’s love was revealed in our midst in this way: he sent his only Son to the world that we might have life through him. Love then, consists in this: not that we have loved God, but that he has loved us and has sent his Son as an offering for our sins. Beloved, if God has loved us so, we must have the same love for one another. No one has ever seen God. Yet if we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is brought to perfection in us.

Starting when the Apostles were alive, various men appeared pushing their own brand of Christianity. This has continued up through today. The Bible instructs us to test the spirits, prophets, teachers, doctrines, and Gospel to see if they're from God. If they are not, do not listen to them. The vast majority have not done so. That's why Catholics and other denominations have lost sight of the real goal. The original church, if it survived, has had the responsibility for spreading God's Word worldwide, seeking conversions, and bringing back lost sheep. Early disciples risked their lives doing this.

Thank you for this excellent explanation 🙏

It appears there is salvation outside the church after all. There appear to be exceptions to the dogma of salvation through water baptism as well. Is there any condition for salvation in the Roman Catholic Church that is strictly non-negotiable?

Amen!

Indeed and thus we should do all we can to have the highest chance for salvation for possible. Join his official and only Church ASAP.

"Bottom line is that Christ alone judges...and He can judge as he sees fit." Not so. Jesus judges by God's standards. As John 5:30 says: ""I cannot do anything on my own; I judge as I hear, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the one who sent me."

@getrit3007the problem with your idea of evangelization is that those in Scripture witnessed to non believers. What you’re trying to compare is attracting people to a set of beliefs that don’t come from the Apostles. You’re either inviting them to an established community such as a presbyterian community, a baptist community, a lutheran community, any of the other established communities, or telling them all they need is the Bible and a personal relationship and no need for a Church. All of which are not what the Apostles taught. You may think you’re doing wrong in that work but you’re actually contradicting the Word and God’s will displacing the flock and not holding to the Traditions of the Apostles, whether spoken or written.

@getrit3007 it scares me to think you really hold to those ideas. “Men love going to other men to find God.” Well how did we come to know God and about God? When did God appear to every human to reveal Himself and His ways to every person? God always revealed Himself through men. So you reject going to men even when God has so chosen to work through them. How do you think you need Christ? That He is salvation? You might even consider Him your Lord and your King but yet you obviously reject His words. What He commanded. What He established. Here in America we don’t have a monarchy but if we did and our king spoke and we turned from his decrees how long do you think we’d last in his kingdom? How could we say we have a king when we don’t obey him? In like manner, how do you say we need Christ and in the same breath reject all that He said and did. Lastly, you quote Scripture. God Himself did not write those Books. Guess who did though, men. Not men as in males but men as in humans. You go to Scripture to find God bc up until today our Lord has not appeared to you face to face to tell you what you need to believe or not. All you know about God is from the Scriptures and those were works of men inspired by God. What did Jesus leave? A Bible? Confusion? Nada!! He left a Church.

And Christ said ""The Word I have spoken will be your judge on the last day." JOHN 12:48 Therefore, you need to live all the Teachings of LORD JESUS to be saved Luke 9:26 "Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels." The Roman Catholic Church is the only way top be saved; as this is the Church JESUS gave us through the Apostles. You need to confess your mortal sins, and you need to be baptized into the BODY OF CHRIST if you are outside of the BODY at your death, then you will perish with all the pagans IF you die without the HOLY GHOST inside of you, and you are an adult, then you will go to Hell forever The only way to get the SPIRIT inside of you is through the Catholic Church There can only be ONE Body of Christ, and this is obviously the Roman Catholic Church, (which is not the Novus Ordo Catholic Church because there is no such ting) the WORD Of GOD is TRUTH and the novus ordo is obviously lies from Hell Currently, the Catholic Church properties are in the weak hands of protestants and communists, and so you need to follow the true Catholic Faith on your own; and not be a part of their farce. Revelation 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “’Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;" we are living in this time of Revelation 18, and we have a false Church that is built on lies, so it is your responsibility to learn the true faith, or you will perish with the liars occupying the beautiful Catholic Church properties. Soon, the Church will be in the appropriate hands, instead of those who want nobody to be saved But if you listen to liars- like your local fake priest, or the makers of this video, you will suffer for your own lack of responsibility for your own Soul

And, He's the head of His body, of which we are all members of when we confess Jesus as our Lord, and Savior. How many members have to gather together to make a "church"? Two, or, three? When two, or three, are gathered together, in His name, He is there with them.

@@sandragambrel9721 I appreciate your fallible interpretation and understanding. I believe it's incorrect. Our Lord can work outside His Church. But that's not the normal means of salvation.

quote----And He's the head of the Catholic Church... unquote That is odd!! Really odd!! NO bible ever mentions a church named Catholic. Not even the Catholic bibles!!

@@mitchellosmer1293 Not odd at all. Depends on your understanding of history, tradition, scripture and the magisterium. The Catholic Church came before, and compiled, the Bible (see Council of Rome in 382 AD, Council of Carthage in 393 AD and Council of Hippo in 399 AD). This is the only Bible. All others are incomplete books containing some scripture. No one has authority to add or subtract from the Bible (i.e. God's word). The word Trinity also isn't in the Bible. But it's (the concept) still in the Bible. God Bless.

​@@mitchellosmer1293 John 5:39-40 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. Be the doers of the Word sir. If you love God, the first of His command, be obedient. That include to the Church He established. Luke 10:16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. Its crystal clear that the Lord was talking to His disciples. Not your pastor. Not you. No other pastor in different sect of Christians

Yes and Roman Catholics are outside of the faith. Gone off script and taking captive with empty philosophy and tradition of men.

Nothing about the Catholic Church there.

@@markgraham2312the Catholic Church is the continuation of the original Church Fathers tradition.

@@markgraham2312where did you get your Bible from? Who canonized it? It’s the one true Catholic Church like it or not.

@@MountainsBreath I got it from a store. It was canonized by the Christian Church in two church councils one in 393 AD in Carthage and the other in 397 AD in Hippo. What does: " It’s the one true Catholic" mean. What does "It's" refer to? I read the New Testament in its original Koine Greek, do you? Outside the Church there is salvation. It is the doctrine of the Catholic Church. Lumen Gentium, 16; Gaudium et Spes, 22; Ad Gentes, 7; Nostra Aetate, 1. With Vatican II the optimistic view of Karl Rahner has become clearly a matter of Catholic doctrine. Also consider: There are approximately 100 billion (100 x 10^9) stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Approximately 1/2 the stars have planets and the average number of planets orbiting a star are two. If the probability of developing life on the order of human beings is 1/50,000 then there are approximately: 100 x 10^9 x 1/2 x 2 x 1/50,000 = 2 million planets in our galaxy with life on the order of human beings. How will they ever know anything about Jesus Christ? How? Then take into account that there are about 200 billion (200 x 10^9) galaxies in the universe, which would yield: 200 x 10^9 galaxies x 2 million planets with life on the order of human beings = 400 quadrillion planets (400 x 10^12) with people on the order of human beings living on them. How is the Church going to get to them? Ever? Clearly, outside the Church there is salvation.

Perhaps it wasn't Jesus.

The Church isn't a building it's everyone who has Faith in Christ regardless of interpretation of scripture.

@@andrewlailvaux1571 One body, 40k blood types?

@@HaleStorm49 1) Members of the Body of Christ are joined to Christ in salvation (Ephesians 4:15-16). 2) Members of the Body of Christ follow Christ as their Head (Ephesians 1:22-23). 3) Members of the Body of Christ are the physical representation of Christ in this world. The Church is the organism through which Christ manifests His life to the world today. 4) Members of the Body of Christ are indwelt by the Holy Spirit of Christ (Romans 8:9). 5) Members of the Body of Christ possess a diversity of gifts suited to particular functions (1 Corinthians 12:4-31). “The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ” (verse 12). 6) Members of the Body of Christ share a common bond with all other Christians, regardless of background, race, or ministry. “There should be no division in the body, but . . . its parts should have equal concern for each other” (1 Corinthians 12:25). 7) Members of the Body of Christ are secure in their salvation (John 10:28-30). For a Christian to lose his salvation, God would have to perform an “amputation” on the Body of Christ! 8) Members of the Body of Christ partake of Christ’s death and resurrection (Colossians 2:12). 9) Members of the Body of Christ share Christ’s inheritance (Romans 8:17). 10) Members of the Body of Christ receive the gift of Christ’s righteousness (Romans 5:17). ;) What you got Catholic? Besides a lack of knowledge of scripture.

​@@andrewlailvaux1571 Just as the Lord instructed Moses to build a Tabernacle in a very specific way, a heavenly temple with the Arc of the Covenant inside. So too does The Catholic Church house a Tabernacle, the centerpiece of every church, where The Real Presence of The Lord in the Holy Eucharist lies inside. The is the Sacrament instituted by Jesus in the gospel. We bow and genuflect in the direction of the Tabernacle every time we walk inside a Catholic Church. There are many Eucharistic miracles you can look up, where the bread literally turns into flesh and blood. The "church" isn't only a community, it isn't only a building. To Catholics, The Church is where The Lord is, in The Tabernacle, and with the altar of the sacrifice where we worship. It is Heaven on Earth. This is Old Testament meets New Testament, this is the fullness of the faith completed in Christ. Sadly protestant "feel good rock concerts" and "40,000 different bible study interpretations" will always miss the mark, and will always lack the reverence, true worship (sacrifice), and fullness of what Christ wanted His true Church to be through his Apostolic succession. I highly HIGHLY recommend a RCIA course in your local Catholic Parish to learn more about the significance of what The Catholic Church actually teaches, not from misguided preachers, but from the actual Church itself. There are so many stories about anti-Catholic preachers converting to the Catholic faith after learning the deeper truth, check out Scott Hahn and Jeff Cavins among many others.

Amen. We will be judge on how we love.

@@SaintMichael0825 right. does not matter, we which Church we belong to. Or even if we are atheists, right?

@@voxpopuli8132 Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. If you love the Lord, prove it by your actions.

Including this; Luke 10:16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. Your gonna obey the Lord's discples. Right?

​@@voxpopuli8132Jesus Christ said, if you love me you keep my commands. Not just the commands from the old covenant, but also the new. Jonh 6 53:54. Then Jesus said unto them verly verly I say unto you except you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink His blood ye have no life in you 54.whose eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life and I will raise him up at the last day. Jesus Christ commanded the Apostles to baptize all nations, gave them authority to forgive or retain sin, and at last supper Jesus gave himself to his Apostles under bread and wine and order them to go and do the same. He was ordaining His new church. Whith His new Priests. In the old testament God says He will make a new priestly covenant.

@@mariamartins5796In Romans, St. Paul says: “Let love be your only debt. Owe no one anything except the debt that binds us to love one another. If you love others, you have done all that the law demands. In the law there are many commands... but all of these are summed up in the single command that says, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself’. Love does no harm to the neighbor. Hence, love is the fulfillment of God’s law.”

Yes, that’s correct. However, how many current day Protestants can honestly claim not to know the Truth of His One True Church which they have knowingly rejected?

VERY FEW are those. Matt. 7:13-14

@@vSwampFox POPE BENEDICT XVI: While Catholic believe the Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit and that it is true, “one cannot take individual biblical quotes or passages and say each one is literally true.” “It is possible to understand the sacred Scriptures as the word of God only by looking at the Bible as a whole, a totality in which the individual elements enlighten each other and open the way to understanding. It is not possible to apply the criterion of inspiration or of absolute truth in a mechanical way, extrapolating a single phrase or expression.” Catholic News Service, May 2011

@@Catholicity-uw2yb while the Holy Father is correct in this statement, the entire statement is not fully true. It is indeed entirely possible to be inspired, of an absolutely truth, from a single phrase or single scripture. So claiming it impossible, is simply not true.

@@rhwinner tell that to everyone around the world being persecuted for their belief in Jesus Christ yet don't have a brick and mortar building to attend. All the Chinese and North Koreans and beyond who don't participate are less in your eyes because they aren't loyal to your organization. That's terrible logic, and if you think God will punish for that, one of us doesn't know the Lord Jesus as we think we do.

Here is the question I have then. Is someone saved by obeying God and avoiding sin or are they saved through faith in Jesus? My answer is that a person is saved through faith, then they are a new creature that desires to obey God and avoid sin, but it was that faith that brought the person into the kingdom of Light. Col 1:13-14

FACTS: Christ NEVER taught that Peter is a pope. Christ NEVER taught that Mary will go to heaven. Christ NEVER taught that Mary is a mediator/intecessor. Christ NEVER taught that Mary never sinned. Christ NEVER taught that Mary remained virgin. Christ NEVER Taught that a mere man is head of His church. Christ NEVER taught about a church named Catholic. Christ NEVER taught that we can pray to the dead. Christ NEVER taught that the dead can hear our prayers. Christ NEVER taught that anyone can change the day of worship. Christ NEVER taught to confess to a "priest" Christ NEVER Taught a priest can forgive your sins. Christ NEVER taught salvation is through a church. >>>> CHRISTIAN The Greek word Χριστιανός (Christianos), meaning "follower of Christ", comes from Χριστός (Christos), meaning "anointed one", >>> A Christian (/ˈkrɪstʃən, -tiən/) is a person who follows or adheres to Christianity, a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

@@mitchellosmer1293 wow you really got us there! Solid arguments and you definitely know what you’re talking about 😂 You forgot two or three. Christ never taught that people were to read a Bible. Christ never taught His Apostles to write books for a future Bible. Christ never taught He was sending Ellen degeneres white to give further prophesies.

I also think if Jesus decided to build His own Church upon the apostles, that means the is the safest way to be saved. It has to be the safest BY FAR. I also think those Churches who still have valid sacraments can provide a way that is safer than protestantism, but not as safe as Catholicism. Again, if Jesus thought it was important to give the keys to Saint Peter, it has to make some difference...

Finally, protestants still have valid baptisms. The problem is to remain in state of grace for the rest of your life without sinning mortally even once. But that means their still have better chances than non-Christians, in my modest opinion.

Well put, yet so called, Bible believing Protestants disingenuously claim that confession is not biblical which it is Jn 20:23 They say that neither is purgatory in the bible which it is 2 Maccabees 12 36-49 and I Corinthians 3:11-15 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved 1 John 5 16-17 reference to deadly (mortal) sin & non deadly sin (venial) sin Luke 12 27-40 the four servants are treated differently, the faithful one gains Heaven, the second Hell & the other two, purgatory

@catholicdoomer No Protestant can be saved, you need to learn the real Catholic Faith and depart from the novus ordo false Church These lies were made to appease Protestants (Vat2) and so this is now a Communist and Protestant false church inside Catholic Church properties So do not believe the soft lies, and stay with the hard truth of LORD JESUS I am glad you need confession and appear to have departed from the fallen protesters You are correct, protestants travel to the end of the Earth to try to convert Catholic people, and this is an evil work, and GOD finds this so disgusting I dont think we can imagine HIS ANGER I do not mean to cause you confusion about the Catholic Faith, but vatican 2 is not Catholic, as it is built on several heresies that already existed A real pope MAINTAINS and PROTECTS the Faith, and would never attempt what these false popes did with Vatican 2 Dogma that must be believed for YOU to be saved: Outside of the Roman Catholic Church, there is NO SALVATION If you do not believe this, then you are outside of the Body of Christ yourself I have relatives too, and they are all most likely damned, and there is nothing your prayers can do about it. We want to make it to Heaven ourselves and we cannot go back and relive the lives of our fallen relatives for them This is very common among Asians as well, to basically worship your ancestors, and this is to prefer them over GOD and TRUTH We can make it to Heaven if we desire it, and fight hard for it, otherwise we will be with our relatives in Hell, and who benefits from that? This was their choice to be damned as a protester of GODS Church; and they did not take their life seriously enough Sacraments given to False Catholics are as worthless as attending a protestant church, they are mere condemnation, and that is all they are I have fake Catholic relatives and also protester relatives, but I only have one real family The BODY OF CHRIST and this is who loves me, and this is who I am loyal to there is no such thing as GRACE coming to those outside of the BODY OF CHRIST because Grace only comes from GOD, the HOLY GHOST being inside your Soul Since your Baptism is one of the novus ordo, I would redo it, and only use the false Church for confession Do not bother attending Mass because the liturgy gives no Grace and their words are designed to lead you astray These tough times should be over soon, and you will be a real Catholic under a real Pope But a Baptism into the novus ordo is the same thing as a protestant baptism, it is NULL on its face A covenant between you and GOD cannot be built on ANY lies If you did not know they were lies, then GOD knows this But once you commit to the real Faith, then you should redo the Baptism and commit to following all the teachings of JESUS and the real Catholic Church You can have anybody Baptize you, and I would not recommend the liars inside the Church properties for this special event We can use them for confession merely because they occupy Church properties' and so we need to use our Church for this Since I have departed from the evil protestant communist novus ordo church, I have not mortally sinned anyway It is very frustrating to deal with these sick souls inside our Church, and so it tends to make one fall into despair, and this makes us fall into sin Work hard on the streets to fight against abortion, and spread your love for GOD among people with your good works this is living the Faith more than going to Church all the time anyway

@@catholicdoomer you are right in everything you said but in reverse. Substitute Catholic for where you said Protestant and Protestant for where you said Catholic .

ST. TERESA BENEDICTA OF THE CROSS (EDITH STEIN): “It has always been far from me to think that God’s mercy allows itself to be circumscribed (limited) by the visible Church’s boundaries. God is Truth. All who seek truth seek God, whether this is clear to them or not.”

THE DOGMATIC CONSTITUTION ON THE CHURCH: “Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation.”

Jesus Christ died for the sins of the whole world, 1 John 2:2 so that means anyone can be saved, that includes non-believers.

So are you saying the whole Catholic faith is wrong because they make the claim that they know who is saved?

@@danielcigolea7221 The Catholic church never makes a claim to know who, without error, is saved. They have doctrines that outline salvation, but even Pope John Paul II said when discussing baptism by implicit desire, "Since Christ died for everyone, and since the ultimate calling of each of us comes from God and is therefore a universal one, we are obliged to hold that the Holy Spirit offers everyone the possibility of sharing in this Paschal Mystery in a manner known to God." This is saying that salvation is available to those who do not know Christ because Christ died for all of us, but he also makes sure to say that everyone is offered the possibility...in a manner known to God. The idea that any earthly entity can say for sure who is saved and who isn't is anathema to Catholicism. Take the sacraments: the Church and its followers are bound by them, but that doesn't mean God is.

@@jaykwonzzz There are videos of priests at mass teaching that salvation can only be attained inside the Catholic church. Therefore, they indirectly say they know for sure who is saved and who is not. If this is not orthodox doctrine I am not sure why are they still priests or why are not corrections being made. I often hear people excusing this type of things (on various subjects) by saying 'this is not official doctrine' but they continue to preach it as true. That does not make any sense.

We know that those outside of the Church are damned because that's what the Church explicitely teaches.

@@baldwinthefourth4098 No, that's not what the church "explicitly teaches". More bad theology. The Church teaches that "there is no salvation outside The Church", but the explicit nature of what that means is only known to a degree. Define "in communion with The Church". This is why the very concept of baptism by desire exists. We know some ways to salvation, but not every way. Likewise, we are held by the sacraments, but God is not. Again, you should really analyze your relationship with The Church if you feel comfortable in making salvific claims.

His church ceased to exist once mere men corrupted it.

@@donreinke5863 Gods Catholic Church (His Bride) will be raised into Heaven on the Last Day. He said the forces of hell will not prevail against His Church.

Waves of Catholic hierarchy created their own manmade versions of the church, doctrine, and teachings. Starting when the Apostles were alive, various men appeared and pushed their own brand of Christianity. That's why scripture instructs to test the spirits, prophets, teachers, doctrines, and Gospel to see if they're from God. The vast majority have not been doing this. Here are some examples: Jesus said to repent (turn away) from sin. Your hierarchy changed that into just confess, the more the better but at least once a year. The Apostles created a list of sins to avoid and required all transgressions be confessed right before receiving the Eucharist. Your hierarchy changed that to only mortal sins without providing a list of them nor venial ones. 1 Timothy 3 states the bishops, priests, and deacons must be married men with children and meet other criteria. Your hierarchy imposed a celibacy requirement then marriage ban beginning in the 11th and 12th century, respectively. Early Christians fasted with no food every Wed and Fri from sundown the day prior to sunset the day of. Your hierarchy changed fasting to only two days per year and the person is allowed to eat a full meal and two partial meals during that period. On and on and on.

@@chronos401 100% FALSE! Your opinion & interpretation does not negate Gods truth. Why are you trolling Catholic videos?

Hey, lots of bible verses to ponder, Here''s a couple of more to consider , that you may not like. 1Timothy 4:1-4

You don’t need to read much to understand the basics. Essentially, Jesus est His One True Church which is the pillar & foundation of Truth 1 Tim 3:15 which codified the Bible in 382. Those with invincible ignorance, such as never hearing about Christianity or Catholicism can be saved by God in His mercy. However, those who knowingly reject the teachings of His Church put their salvation at risk. Think how many times that that has happened since the reformation!

​​@@geoffjs thanks. So I guess the crucial part is "put their salvation at risk" is different to the dogma "no salvation". I'm thinking of good people who refuse to become Catholic, they remain another denomination with full knowledge. That's surely rejecting Catholic teaching

@@watchyoutbOnly God can & will each person’s heart. However, I know fractious Protestants who are ill willed towards the CC & reject papal authority as well as His Real Presence in the Eucharist Jn 6:53 & regard baptism Jn 3:5 as optional thereby disobeying Jesus. I don’t think that it will go well for them because of that disobedience Lk 12 27-40

For the Catholic Church, “Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus” doesn’t mean (and it has never meant) that every individual outside of the formal/ full membership in the Catholic Church is necessarily damned. What damns someone in the eyes of an All-Benevolent God - who is also the Lord of Justice - is culpability in mortal sinning. What does it mean? That non-Catholics (and in some cases even formal Catholics can be accountable for those) are responsible either for their own deliberate acts of schism and/or heresy, either for their culpable/ vincible ignorance. _“(…) one cannot charge with the sin of the separation those who at present are born into these communities [i.e., Protestant ecclesial communities] that resulted from such separation and in them are brought up in the faith of Christ, and the Catholic Church accepts them with respect and affection as brothers. _*_All who have been justified by faith in baptism are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers in the Lord by the children of the Catholic Church_*_ (….)”_ (CCC, § 818). That doesn’t mean one can be saved elsewhere but being part of the Catholic Church. It can mean to be mystically united to it, with different degrees of perfection. It won’t jeopardize the salvation of a pious Orthodox old lady in the countryside of Bulgaria or a humble Baptist mom of four children that lived their Christian life the best they could (and not to antagonize with us as a way of identity), meaning that, according to our theology, they are supposedly personally guilt of the sin of division/ schism or that they are culpable of heresies for the simple fact that they were born outside of Catholic community: it is simply to flirt with the heresy of Feeneyism. That’s not Catholic dogma, my friend.

Well stated! Modern people try too easily to deny the necessity for salvation of His One True Church, thus putting their salvation at risk. There is no such concept as once saved, always saved, a Protestant heresy!

Vatican 2 is not a sacred council and you should know this Unfortunately, most the men quoted as popes have serious issues with their papacy and therefore are more than likely NULL as teachers We had a HUMANIST invasion that started very early on, and by the time of Jerome and Augustine, the Church was almost entirely in their feeble dirty worldly hands But we do not need them, because it is obvious from the facts First, you need the HOLY GHOST inside of your Soul to be saved Otherwise, your Soul is in a state of Death, and so how could you pass through judgment? Also, how could a man with demons inside his soul, like all pagans and protesters have-die and go to Heaven? Impossible "Unless you believe that I AM HE, you will die in your sins" LORD JESUS So there is no way you can get Absolution on this Earth outside the Catholic Church, so you will die in your mortal sins, and be condemned for them As the Word states so many times, you need to make deals with your adversary before it is too late or read the parable of the 10 virgins If you die outside of Grace, then you will be shut out So we have the Word of GOD to show us that we cannot be saved outside of the Roman Catholic Church But the novus ordo and Vatican 2 are protestant invasions of the real Catholic Church, so you need to sever yourself from these lost people and their lies and deceptions and live the real Faith on your own until we get a real pope in there to clean it up

Well said

ST. TERESA BENEDICTA OF THE CROSS (EDITH STEIN): “It has always been far from me to think that God’s mercy allows itself to be circumscribed (limited) by the visible Church’s boundaries. God is Truth. All who seek truth seek God, whether this is clear to them or not.”

@@Catholicity-uw2yb Hello, are you saying this statement or opinion supersedes the provided magisterial sources?

@@silenthammer2900 yo hello, i agree with what you say, but i think, from what i understand with you saying God is not a man, is like saying that the Lord Jesus did not have a human nature, which is contradictory to what the Church teaches

@@codexman900 Thanks, my friend. No, that's not how I meant it. I meant that WE should not refer to God as "the man upstairs." I totally agree that Jesus had and has two natures, God and Man. But some of us "throw His name around" as though God's our buddy down the street, and that our Awe of God -- Fear of The Lord -- is only earthly. Some folks believe that God will just let our sins "slide," and that He'll "understand." As if we take $50 our of Mom's purse for drugs, but "She'll understand." The problem and blessing is that God DOES indeed understand. So, we have no "I'm only human" excuse for our actions. No, Jesus IS God and Human. He suffered the death that may be the most horrible ever, and ever to come. He was TOTALLY Human, no "kings-ex" for the pain. The humiliation, the sorrow at seeing His brothers and sisters do the thing we do to each other -- for which He suffered and died. How can an adult not see and react to that?

@@silenthammer2900 i understand, i just thought that you're denying His human nature, but it appears i misunderstood. Cheers my guy

Knowingly rejecting His One True Church by whoever, puts one’s salvation at risk esp disobeying Jesus iro baptism Jn 3:5 & His Real True Presence Jn 6 53 which are necessary for salvation.

Yeah he kinda talked around that one

He did

Minute 1:05

He did answer the question

Essentially, Jesus est His One True Church which is the pillar & foundation of Truth 1 Tim 3:15 which codified the Bible in 382. Those with invincible ignorance, such as never hearing about Christianity or Catholicism can be saved by God in His mercy. However, those who knowingly reject the teachings of His Church put their salvation at risk. Think how many times that that has happened since the reformation!

There is no salvation outside the Catholic Church because Jesus Christ is the head of the Catholic Church and there is no salvation outside of Jesus Christ. God planned His Church at the beginning of time for the salvation of His people. The Catholic Church has the fullness of faith. The Catholic Church has the Eucharist and all theSacraments.

Also if 95% of Catholics are in mortal sin from the use of contraception, 95% of Catholics are going to hell. What chance will prots have to attain heaven?

There’s no salvation outside the church either.

@@christsavesreadromans1096 quote----There’s no salvation outside the church either.... unquote According to whom?? Mere men? Or GOD? Salvation is God's grace. It is the gift of freedom from our sins that Jesus made possible by taking the punishment for our sins on the cross. Who does salvation come from? Salvation - Wikipedia It may also be called deliverance or redemption from sin and its effects. Depending on the religion or even denomination, salvation is considered to be caused either only by the grace of God (i.e. unmerited and unearned), or by faith, good deeds (works), or a combination thereof. Who is the leader of our salvation? Hebrews 2:5-18 explains why the Messiah, Jesus Christ, came in the form of a man, rather than being an angel. In order to serve as a true example, He had to experience our human suffering and temptation. By doing so, Jesus was able to become the ''Captain,'' or the ''Founder,'' of our salvation. Who is the source of salvation? Jesus Christ He is the God fully revealed in Jesus Christ. That God is source of salvation. So much is God revealed in Jesus Christ that, according to the fifth verse of Romans 9, Jesus is Himself God blessed forever. The source of salvation, therefore, is the triune God, the God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Does salvation come from faith? God's Word says that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus and not by our own efforts or works (Ephesians 2:8-9). Grace Alone. Faith Alone. Grace alone means that God loves, forgives, and saves us not because of who we are or what we do, but because of the work of Christ. What is the basis of your salvation? Faith or belief in Jesus Christ is the only basis for salvation set forth in the Bible Who is responsible for our salvation? He is ultimately sovereign over all things. We are penultimately responsible for that which He calls us to be responsible. THOMAS: Paul says in Philippians, “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure” (Phil. 2:12-13). Is God's salvation for everyone? Titus 2:11 says, “ For the grace of God has appeared with salvation for all people.” John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes …' The offer of salvation goes out to all but this doesn't imply universalism or that all are saved. What God says about salvation? Salvation is the great work of God (Jonah 2:9) in which He forgives sin and gives eternal life to a believing sinner as a free gift of His grace (Eph. 2:8-9). Forgiveness is needed because all people are born sinners showing their sin nature soon after birth (Gen. How do we receive salvation? Romans 10:9-10 says, “that if you confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” **IS that enough to PROVE we DO NOT need a church for our salvation?????

@@mitchellosmer1293 According to the parable of the wedding banquet there is no salvation outside of the church.

@@christsavesreadromans1096 quote----According to the parable of the wedding banquet there is no salvation outside of the church.... unquote ------What is the meaning of Matthew 22 1 14? Matthew 22, verses 1-14, Jesus speaks to the Jews who rejected Christ as the Messiah and welcomes believing Gentiles. The parable also settles the issue of those who think that they can enter Heaven without believing in the Son of God. ------What is the meaning of the man without the wedding garment? The man without the wedding garment represents the two groups who will be excluded from the eschatological feast: the ones who reject the invitation and the ones who accept it but who do not prove worthy. The broader contexts confirm the first interpretation and the immediate context validates the second. -----What is the moral of the parable of the wedding banquet? The story makes it clear that there is no reason, none at all, for people to reject a gracious invitation from the King to come to the wedding feast and enjoy all good things. The only reason they reject the invitation is that they do not believe the King, or they do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God. ----What is the meaning of the parable of the great banquet? In this sense, the parable of the great banquet (14:15-24) was included in Luke's narrative as a means of explaining 'the inclusion of Gentiles in the present kingdom of God as God's response to Israel's refusal to “enter”'. -----What is the prayer on Matthew 22 1 14? God of celebration, you have invited all people to rejoice in the goodness of your love. Help us to be hospitable to all people at your banquet, so that all might receive your blessing. We pray these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen. -----What do the wedding clothes symbolize in Matthew 22? If that is the understanding, it could be that the wedding garment represents being covered by the righteousness of Jesus (Romans 3:21-31). This would make the man representative of those who want the benefits of a relationship with God but refuse to submit to Him or obey His teachings (John 14:15). -----What does the garment symbolize? In our day the garment encourages modesty, but its significance is much deeper. For Church members who have received the endowment, the garment reminds them of their connection to God, their commitment to follow His will, and the blessings and protection God has promised the faithful. ---- The parable of the wedding feast (Matthew 22: 1-14) The parable of the wedding feast is a parable about how the Kingdom of God is open to everyone, not only Jews. This parable is told using the familiar setting of a wedding feast, however there are a few surprising events included. >>> Acts 2:38 38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. -----Acts 4:12 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.” (WHERE in that verse is a church mentioned???) -----John 14:6 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. That verses says NOTHING about a church being "the way and the truth and the life.Nor does it say --we have go through a church to get to God!!! -------Matthew 7:21 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. -----Titus 3:5 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, -----Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. ----

@catholicdoomer did Saint Paul die to give you an invisible Church or a visible one? are you calling Saint Paul a liar or an idiot for giving his life for you to have the Catholic Church? All of these denominations are protestant ones, so how could they be inside the Body of Christ? How can you be against something and inside of it at the same time? How could a pagan be inside the Body of Christ? That would mean that JESUS did not need to die for our sins, as we would have Grace as a pagan anyway Where is Saint Peter buried? Why did he give his life for you to have a Church if there is no physical church? Are you calling him an idiot? You quote the antiChrist Paul 4 over JESUS who died to give you HIS CHURCH? There are always false shepherds and you need to discern, currently you are at best another protestant inside the Vatican 2 sect unlawfully occupying the Catholic Church properties If you believe Satan and his minions over GOD, you will be lost "By their fruits you will know them"

What about the necessity for salvation of receiving grace via His Real True Presence in the Eucharist Jn 6 53

He who quotes Vat 2 is a liar This is from the father of all lies Satan Nobody I have ever met outside of the real Catholic Church has any interest in the Truth They choose the world over Truth I have been fighting for Truth inside the Catholic Church properties, and all I see are pagans of all stripes, Hindus, Ashkenazis, Buddhists, Satanists, Protestants, and all the other lost souls- fighting AGINST TRUTH and against a real Catholic Church, and against their own salvation, and against others being saved What great works these are and I am sure GOD is very impressed! There are no GOOD PEOPLE outside of the HOLY GHOST because, as LORD JESUS states :"Only GOD is good" and also "If you who are evil know how to give goof things, think how good GOD will be in giving gifts" So we need to understand that we are all evil without GOD in our soul, and therefore in a state of Death Baptism is important and needs to be done by those willing to fight for TRUTH, as the SPIRIT of GOD must be worshipped in "Spirit and Truth" If you are Baptized into the lies of Vatican 2, then you are mocking GOD by lying to HIS FACE, and your Baptism is Null (except as maybe a condemnation) This means that if you are missing some truth or clinging to lies, then you will not have the HOLY GHOST within your Soul, and you are therefore still in a state of Death and destruction There is only ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH It is a physical Church and a mystical BODY If you die without the HOLY GHOST inside of you, you will go to Hell with all the pagans If you die with the HOLY GHOST, then how could you not go to Heaven? You only get Graces from the HOLY GHOST being inside your Soul So you will die as just another EVIL BASTARD, and be condemned without the help of the HOLY GHOST Look around you, look at the fruits of Vat 2, and you should be ashamed for even mentioning it But you are still blind, and therefore "The blind leading the blind, both will fall into the Pit" LORD JESUS

@@geoffjs And what about this: MATTHEW 25: 41 Then he will say to those at his left hand, ‘You who are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels, 42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not take care of you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment but the righteous into eternal life.”

THAT IS QUOTED FROM: Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition !!!! >>>>>> Sola Scriptura is actually one of the easiest doctrines to demonstrate from scripture, and it can be done using a single verse. 1 Corinthians 4:6 - “…in us (Paul and Apollos) you may learn not to go beyond what is written…” (Cf. Isaiah 8:20, Luke 16:29, 2 Peter 1:19-21, Psalm 19:7) In this passage, Paul is submitting himself and Apollos as examples to be followed of servants of Christ and faithful stewards of the gospel who do everything according to the God-breathed word of God (2 Timothy 3:16), and nothing beyond it (Cf. 2 Timothy 2:15). This submission demonstrates that the traditions that they (the apostles) spoke, as well as their writings that would eventually form the canon of the New Testament (Cf. 2 Thessalonians 2:15, 3:6, 1 Corinthians 11:2, 1 Corinthians 15:4 referring to the books of Matthew and Mark) were in accordance with what has been written by the prophets who came before them. Furthermore, so long as they were in submission to the word of God (what has been written), they are innocent of the judgment of any human court (1 Corinthians 4:3). Paul is explaining that what has been written (scripture) forms the basis of our judgment (Cf. Acts 17:11, Mark 7:6-9). It is the same concept expressed in John 7:24, "do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment." And how do we know that we are judging with a righteous judgment? When it is in accordance with what has been written. And this is not a new concept, Isaiah spoke of this in Isaiah 8:20, "to the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn." Over and over again, it is the word of God (both written and spoken) that is said to be the basis for truth, and it is the ultimate authority that stands over all. John 17:17 - Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth (Cf. John 15:3) Proverbs 30:6 - Do not add to His words Lest He reprove you, and you be proved a liar. Deuteronomy 4:2 - You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of Yahweh your God which I am commanding you. Deuteronomy 12:32 - Whatever I am commanding you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to nor take away from it. Revelation 22:18 - I bear witness to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book. The word of God must never be transgressed for the sake of any tradition! Matthew 15:3 - Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? Colossians 2:8 - See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, and not according to Christ. Therefore, if any tradition is said to be on equal grounds with scripture, it MUST be shown to be God’s word, according to what has been written, and the instant someone attempts to do so, they admit scripture is the ultimate authority >>>>>You said, “Nowhere does it say scripture alone.” - Oh but it does… Isaiah 40:8 8 The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever.” Matthew 24:35 (Jesus states) 35 “Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.” Hebrews 6:18 18 “So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.” People break their promises, their word, their oaths often. But the Lord never has and never will. His Word is priceless, profound and trustworthy. Everything else will fade and disappear… but His Word will last f-o-r-e-v-e-r.

@@JiII_S "Catholic" Truth was refuted in a response video. Amazing how dishonest people are. You're too afraid to look at their materials for yourself.

That’s one of the few things you’ve said that is true, my friend. The Holy Spirit’s action is innefable: that’s EXACTLY the reason why elements of sanctification can be seen outside the visible boundaries of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. And through the oneness of baptism, we can even call members of heretical and schismatic communities brothers in Christ, even though there are imperfect levels of participation and unity, without entering in the discussion of personal levels of culpability in mortal sinning through obstinate heresy and schism, for instance. A good old Baptist lady who was born in a separated community surely has much less culpability than some who militate, filled with unconfessed hatred and ideological anti-Catholicism, against the Catholic Church online.

@@masterchief8179 Bla bla bla. Jesus is the way. Not Roman Catholicism.

@@br.m You are saying you follow Jesus your manner, not His. Your design, not His. Because Jesus didn’t handle Bibles to the Apostles and said “go to garages and megachurches teaching this book, making self-appointed leaders in the interest of the community at the exchange of a salary”: he founded a Church on the apostles’ fundament and chose one of them to be the rock upon which he would build it, name-changing this apostle’s name to Cephas (or “rock”), and He taught the gates of hell would never overcome it, and He said to the Church - the apostles and those who succeeded them, since they are not granted physical immortality - that she (= the church) should convert all nations, until the end of times, and baptize them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That’s it for me.

@@masterchief8179 That's not true. You wrote lies to me. Someone lied to you and you believed them without investigating their lies. Jesus had the Old Testament. When Paul preached to the Bereans, what did they do? They checked all that Paul said against scripture... What scripture? See the first churches had the Bible. YOU are the ones appointing Peter as pope, in order to enable the papacy. Jesus did not make Peter pope over the others. If so then Paul should be highest rank, because Peter stood condemned before Paul. You really should read the Bible for yourself and see how much you've been led astray. Jesus said "you are brethren" and equals. Jesus did not exalt the Sons of Thunder. So why would he turn around and make himself a liar by exalting Peter???

@@masterchief8179 By the way, Jesus led them on a detour to Caesarea Philippi to make that speech for a reason. He was preparing his disciples for his death. The "gates of hell" is what the pagans named the place at Caesarea Philippi. There is a huge rock and a big hold in the ground called "the gate to hell" and Jesus was saying the gate to hell will not stand up to him and his church. He was NOT saying any of the stuff you claim. He was NOT saying the door to hell is going to try to come off its hinges and chase the church and break the church down.

Under this theological construct, when the priest places the host in a monstrance and elevates it, the laity direct adoration to it as God the Son, come to earth. They direct their worship toward the image of bread which they see with their eyes. And when the receive the image and shape of bread in their hands, they worship it as they ingest its substance and accidents together. ****Do you see it now? Catholics are directing their worship toward an image: specifically, the image of a bread wafer. Exo 20:4,5 "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them..." Lev 26:1 "Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God." The Israelites created a calf of gold, declared it to be Almighty God, and worshiped it. As punishment, Moses had the calf ground up and made the people ingest the gold. The Roman Catholics create wafers of bread, declare them to be Almighty God, raise them up in monstrances and worship them. Then they ingest them. See the similarity? 1. One of the accidents of the bread is the appearance or image of bread. 2. God forbids directing worship toward images (Exodus 20; Leviticus 26). 3. Therefore, God forbids directing worship toward any image of bread. Catholics always deny that they worship images. But when the priest elevates the host in the monstrance, they see the image and they render adoration (worship) toward what they see. This is a perfect example of idolatry. >>>>>

It is the gift of freedom from our sins that Jesus made possible by taking the punishment for our sins on the cross. Who does salvation come from? Salvation - Wikipedia It may also be called deliverance or redemption from sin and its effects. Depending on the religion or even denomination, salvation is considered to be caused either only by the grace of God (i.e. unmerited and unearned), or by faith, good deeds (works), or a combination thereof. Who is the leader of our salvation? Hebrews 2:5-18 explains why the Messiah, Jesus Christ, came in the form of a man, rather than being an angel. In order to serve as a true example, He had to experience our human suffering and temptation. By doing so, Jesus was able to become the ''Captain,'' or the ''Founder,'' of our salvation. Who is the source of salvation? Jesus Christ He is the God fully revealed in Jesus Christ. That God is source of salvation. So much is God revealed in Jesus Christ that, according to the fifth verse of Romans 9, Jesus is Himself God blessed forever. The source of salvation, therefore, is the triune God, the God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Does salvation come from faith? God's Word says that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus and not by our own efforts or works (Ephesians 2:8-9). Grace Alone. Faith Alone. Grace alone means that God loves, forgives, and saves us not because of who we are or what we do, but because of the work of Christ. What is the basis of your salvation? Faith or belief in Jesus Christ is the only basis for salvation set forth in the Bible Who is responsible for our salvation? He is ultimately sovereign over all things. We are penultimately responsible for that which He calls us to be responsible. THOMAS: Paul says in Philippians, “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure” (Phil. 2:12-13). Is God's salvation for everyone?By your refusal to refute my facts, implies they ARE ALL CORRECT!!! Titus 2:11 says, “ For the grace of God has appeared with salvation for all people.” John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes …' The offer of salvation goes out to all but this doesn't imply universalism or that all are saved. What God says about salvation? Salvation is the great work of God (Jonah 2:9) in which He forgives sin and gives eternal life to a believing sinner as a free gift of His grace (Eph. 2:8-9). Forgiveness is needed because all people are born sinners showing their sin nature soon after birth (Gen. How do we receive salvation? Romans 10:9-10 says, “that if you confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Psalms 146:3 In-Context Praise the LORD, my soul. 2 I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. 3 Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. 4 When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing. **IS that enough to PROVE we DO NOT need a church for our salvation?????

They all make competing claims about who Christ is and what means Christ provided for our salvation. Christ is the Truth and prayed that all his followers be one "as [he] and the father are one". There can only be one truth, and therefore one church.

Thank you for your kindness. As a protestant, I may not agree with some Catholic practices, but I have never doubted that Catholics are real Christians who love And follow Jesus with all their hearts.

That is the beauty of the Catholic Church. You can believe in Jesus and the church he established and we should all trust him at that level of simplicity. For those who are more intellectually able, there are many depths that one can learn about in the Catholic faith. But ultimately it comes down to believing in Jesus and his mercy as we are all sinners.

Salvation is the great work of God (Jonah 2:9) in which He forgives sin and gives eternal life to a believing sinner as a free gift of His grace (Eph. 2:8-9). Forgiveness is needed because all people are born sinners showing their sin nature soon after birth (Gen. 6:5;) Who is the source of salvation?

So much is God revealed in Jesus Christ that, according to the fifth verse of Romans 9, Jesus is Himself God blessed forever. The source of salvation, therefore, is the triune God, the God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Is God or Jesus our salvation? Jesus Christ gives salvation by grace through faith. Yet God loves you and wants to save you from sin, to offer you a new life of hope. John 10:10 says, "I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance." To give you this gift of salvation, God made a way through His Son, Jesus Christ. What is the true salvation in the Bible? The Bible says “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17. Salvation takes place in the life of a person when he hears and believes “the word of truth,” that is, the gospel of salvation. Does salvation come from faith? God's Word says that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus and not by our own efforts or works (Ephesians 2:8-9). Grace Alone. Faith Alone. Grace alone means that God loves, forgives, and saves us not because of who we are or what we do, but because of the work of Christ. How is Jesus the source of salvation? The Catholic Church teaches that salvation comes through Jesus alone (Acts 4:12), since he is the “one mediator between God and man” (1 Tm 2:5-6). The saving grace won by Jesus is offered as a free gift to us, accessible through repentance, faith, and baptism. How can I be sure of my salvation? Through his sacrificial death on the cross for our sins Jesus has satisfied God's righteous wrath against us (1 John 1:7; 2:2; 4:10). By confessing that we believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came in the flesh to save us from our sins we can be confident that we have eternal life (1 John 4:2, 13-15; 5:13). How to come to God for salvation? The scripture says, "Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved." If you would like to know Christ, all you have to do is receive the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ by saying a prayer of salvation. Pray this aloud: "Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins and surrender my life. Wash me clean. How do we get salvation? Romans 10:9-10 says, “that if you confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. You want more??? NO ONE needs a church for their salvation!!!! GO DIRECTLY to GOD!!!!

Wrong, they split from the CC in 1054!

Catholic Dogma by definition never can be contradicted in the future. To say "since Vatican II no longer states outside the Church there is no salvation" is false, as development of doctrine isn't the same thing as no longer stating a dogma. It just adds detail to what constitutes salvation within the church, as you explained accurately. It may seem like semantics, but it's very important to keep the principle clear. It's also important to emphasize that your atheist marxist example would be incredibly unlikely to be saved, especially if explicitly rejecting Christianity as an opiate to the masses (active opposition rather than ignorance) while being educated on God/Jesus which increases the burden (higher knowledge = higher burden due to consenting to repeated mortal sin). I'm sure you know this as well, but also important to emphasize communism has been repeatedly rebuked by the church even if one already accepts Jesus. There is no implication from being a marxist that someone cares about the poor. Often times its the opposite. I know you mentioned simply the possibility, so nothing technically wrong. Given the totality of church and Biblical teaching, some things are possible and very very close to 0 still. V2 doesn't take precedence due to recency, all councils are true fully. Only God knows with 100% certainty anyways.

​@@CanditoTrainingHQ "To say "since Vatican II no longer states outside the Church there is no salvation" is false, " is false. Rahner’s positional is validated in the documents of Vatican II, where it is clearly and unambiguously taught that God’s saving grace is not limited to the confines of the visible Church, but reaches out to all men and women (Lumen Gentium, 16; Gaudium et Spes, 22; Ad Gentes, 7; Nostra Aetate, 1). With Vatican II the optimistic view of Karl Rahner has become clearly a matter of Catholic doctrine. So you are wrong. Here's some of the text: All this holds true not only for Christians, but for all men of good will in whose hearts grace works in an unseen way.(31) For, since Christ died for all men,(32) and since the ultimate vocation of man is in fact one, and divine, we ought to believe that the Holy Spirit in a manner known only to God offers to every man the possibility of being associated with this paschal mystery. Catholic teaching was changed. Pius XII condemned the statement: "Outside the Church, there is no salvation," and so do the documents of Vatican II, which I have read. Many of the Church's teachings have changed: toleration of slavery, opposition to democracy, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press. Toleration of polygamy is repudiated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which I have read. "It may seem like semantics, but it's very important to keep the principle clear," you are wrong. You worship the Catholic Church as God, which it is not, has never been and never will be. "It's also important to emphasize that your atheist Marxist example would be incredibly unlikely to be saved," wrong. You don't get to decide who is saved, God does. Read: 1Cor 4:4. It is God alone who judges, not CanditoTrainingHQ. "if explicitly rejecting Christianity as an opiate to the masses (active opposition rather than ignorance) while being educated on God/Jesus which increases the burden (higher knowledge = higher burden due to consenting to repeated mortal sin)," -- mumbo jumbo! I never stated anything about communism. " There is no implication from being a Marxist that someone cares about the poor. Often times its the opposite. " -- that again is not what I wrote. How do you calculate probabilities? Do you have an advanced degree in statistics? "all councils are true fully. " -- false. Have you read the decrees of the Ecumenical Councils? I have. Some are abhorrent. Your view is very narrow. There are approximately 100 billion (100 x 10^9) stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Approximately 1/2 the stars have planets and the average number of planets orbiting a star are two. If the probability of developing life on the order of human beings is 1/50,000 then there are approximately: 100 x 10^9 x 1/2 x 2 x 1/50,000 = 2 million planets in our galaxy with life on the order of human beings. How will they ever know anything about Jesus Christ? How? Then take into account that there are about 200 billion (200 x 10^9) galaxies in the universe, which would yield: 200 x 10^9 galaxies x 2 million planets with life on the order of human beings = 400 quadrillion planets (400 x 10^12) with people on the order of human beings living on them. How is the Church going to get to them? Ever? Clearly, outside the Church there is salvation.

Because sola Scriptura is not biblical & Protestants don’t receive His grace via His Real True Presence in the Eucharist which is necessary for salvation Jn 6:53

This is Catholic Answers. Try Lutheran Answers, they will be right about most things

When it comes to your obedience to God, you are not perfect. So it’s a spectrum … some people are more obedient to God as are churches. The less perfect is a acknowledgment that the other churches do not practice all that was taught but practice some

@@enderwiggen3638 "He has perfected forever those being sanctified"

@@TimSpangler-rd6vs so you claim to be perfect when Christ himself said there is no good except God? This is why protes get so much wrong about their position with God

​@@enderwiggen3638He paraphrased scripture. None good but God. This corruptible puts on incorruptible. Jesus Christ has perfected us by one offering. No way to get around perfect and claim more imperfect things needed. That's the point being made.

Yes, but Jesus did say that baptism is necessary for salvation Jn 3:5, likewise with His Literal Real True Presence in the Eucharist Jn 6:53

The Body of Christ is what you are baptized into- and so your protestant Baptism, like the false Catholic Vatican 2 Baptism, is completely Null, and an abomination in GODs Face JESUS stated, "You are Peter, the Rock, and I will build my Church on you. and the gates of Hell will not prevail" What are you protestants missing with this very easy message from LORD JESUS? You prefer to sin boldly and lead others Souls to Hell under the guise that you are a Christian, which is a lie There is only one Christian Church; and if you die outside of this physical Church, and the mystical BODY of CHRST, you have no HOLY GHOST, and you will perish forever with all the pagans go see where Saint Peter is buried and come back and talk more nonsense Peter gave his life for you to be saved, have a physical Church, and you are choosing the lies of Satan instead

Really? why does Satan always try to soften the Truth that JESUS gave us then? Youi trust Satan more than JESUS? "Life and death are before you, stretch out your hand to the one you prefer" The Catholic Church thrives on TRUTH, as this is what makes a man Spiritual "GOD must be worshipped in SPIRIT and TRUTH" JESUS what Math are you talking about? The almost 100% of souls who go straight to Hell after their death, even after JESUS did everything possible for them to be saved? Softies have always invaded the Catholic Church and tried to make Catholics weak and pagan, and that is what we have today. So you are lost in blindness and choosing lies and sin over TRUTH and you will be condemned for it

Well, I think you are way too against the Catholic religion that you reject even the partly-good things they say. Let me explain: everyone that belongs to God is saved, and they form the Church; no one else is saved. So, it is true there is no salvation for those outside the Church. Note that I did not use the word 'Catholic' in my explanation because it is not needed.

nothing like naming it and claiming it right you Fundamentalists can't help it they believe the earth is really flat. They are the only Christians in the world who believe they can committ 10 ax murders a day and still get a one way all expense paid trip to heaven; cuz that's what pastor Dodo tells them.🤢🤢

Quite an assumption, seeing I am Catholic. Even in your explanation you are doing what those who push these lies do. They twist, bend and insert to make what they are pushing more easy to swallow. They aren't just saying "those who belong to God" For the record, every single human being from Adam to the final day belongs to God but not everyone will be saved. They say no salvation outside the Catholic Church, just how some Eastern Orthodox says there is no salvation outside of their church (I call them out on that nonsense too).

@@macdan22 OK, tell me what did I bend, twist, insert to get to the conclusion I presented. Call me on my nonsense specifically, don't write a novel without saying anything meaningful.

I guess maybe work on your reading comprehension. I already did that. Twice in 3 lines worth of text. Hardly a novel but let me bullet point it for you to make it easier. "I think you are way to against the catholic religion,..." - I told you that was quite the assumption seeing I am Cathholic. "everyone that belongs to God is saved..." - I said "For the record every single human being from Adam to the final day belongs to God but not everyone will be saved."

Its all throughout scripture? You can only be saved by Christ. If you dont follow the doctrines of Christ you have no God 2 john 1 9. If the Catholic church is the church Christ founded then what does it mean to not be part of it?

@@Sixpenny2480 Again, use scripture instead of jumping to conclusions. "It's all throughout scripture" yet you can't provide any references (That would be known in the world of debate and logical fallacies as a hasty generalization). You're landing on the assumption that Christ founded the Roman Catholic Church despite their egregious doctrine and perversion of the unmerited gospel of faith and grace. (Go ahead and pull James 2 out of context (disregarding verse 10) even though in the apostolic and infallible witness of scripture, James would not contradict Paul on Justification and is speaking about demonstration, not about reconciliation to God). Salvation is by grace, through faith, in Christ, according to scripture, to the Glory of God. I'll insert some helpful verses (the full counsel of scripture is typically helpful to learn and study before attempting to correct and make claims without any evidence). (Titus 3v5, Eph 2vv1-10, 1 Pet 1vv18-19, 1 Tim 2v5, 1 John 2vv1-2, Heb 8vv1-7, Rom 3vv22-25, John 19v30, Heb 10v14, Heb 7v27, Acts 4v12, John 14v6, 1 Cor 15vv1-4, 27-28, Eph 1vv20-22, Rom 1vv16-17, Gal 1v9, Rom 10v9, 3vv21-26, 11v6) to list a few. I would suggest you take a peek at these verses and allow the Holy Spirit to remove your self-righteousness and pharisaical spirit. You must be born again.

@williamgunn3853 You should google who started the Roman Catholic church. We can even see the book of Romans was written to the church of Rome. Can you name one earlier church? Surrounding faith alone. I'm assuming you mean sola fide. John Calvin said faith alone saves but faith is never alone. One of the reformers himself. As you've already mentioned James 2 then you would know that the only place in which faith alone appears is James 2 24. None of the other verses say faith alone. You can even see that faith is never alone. It's actually from your own interpretation you pit James and Paul against each other. You would also pit John 15 against Paul ad well. Surrounding interpretation of scripture. It is not for personal interpretation 2 Peter 1 20. You should rely upon the church Matt 18 17, 1 Tim 3 15, You should also not reject the apostolic authority Luke 10 16, Matt 18 etc. So you have multiple problems here. If Christ founded the Catholic church you are against his doctrines. For my first piece of evidence I will use Romans 1 7 and I will also go to the early christians. Ignatius of Antioch was a disciple to John the Revelator and Peter. He stated this "Wherever Jesus Christ is there is the Catholic church".

The Bible is from the Catholic Church so maybe you are the one who is unbiblical

It is biblical to pray for intercession Purgatory The concept of Purgatory does exist in Scripture which is very clear when it says, “But nothing unclean shall enter [heaven]” (Rev. 21:27). Hab. 1:13 says, “You [God]… are of purer eyes than to behold evil and cannot look on wrong…” How many of us will be perfectly sanctified at the time of our deaths? I dare say most of us will be in need of further purification in order to enter the gates of heaven after we die, if, please God, we die in a state of grace. Purgatory can be supported by II Maccabees 12:39-46, we discover Judas Maccabeus and members of his Jewish military forces collecting the bodies of some fallen comrades who had been killed in battle. When they discovered these men were carrying “sacred tokens of the idols of Jamnia, which the law forbids the Jews to wear” (vs. 40), Judas and his companions discerned they had died as a punishment for sin. Therefore, Judas and his men “turned to prayer beseeching that the sin which had been committed might be wholly blotted out… He also took up a collection… and sent it to Jerusalem to provide for a sin offering. In doing this he acted very well and honorably… Therefore he made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin.” This may be why Luther removed Macabees from his bible & was tempted to do the same with the book of James Luke 12 35-48 servants rewarded/punished in varying ways For some Protestants to say that all sin is sin and to not differentiate between mortal sin like adultery and venial sin like stealing a dollar is illogical & a poor understanding

@@geoffjs Not to people who are dead lol that's expressly forbidden and before you try tell me the saints are alive in Heaven i'll just correct you in advance. Everyone who has lived their life on Earth and died is considered dead Biblically. Ever read the verse that says "The dead IN Christ will rise first" Trying to communicate with the deadis necromancy in reality.

@@geoffjs and we do not need to be purified as we are presented blameless. Jude 1:24-25 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV) Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. " 21Once you were alienated from God and were hostile in your minds because of your evil deeds. 22But now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy, unblemished, and blameless in His presence - 23if indeed you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope of the gospel you heard," So whats the condition,continue in the faith.Purgatory is Catholic fiction.

@@andrewlailvaux1571 I never said pray TO the dead but FOR the dead ie prayers of intercession which are biblical, pls try to be fair minded! 1 Tim 2 1-5 I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people.

If that were true, then Christianity didn't exist until your church came around 1,500+ years after Christ?

@@elf-lordsfriarofthemeadowl2039 My church does not exist it never have or ever will. I'm a Christian, a believer in Jesus. Roman Catholicism does not believe in Jesus. They just use the name in vain as they worship themselves and exalt themselves and try to save themselves. Works, penance, purgatory.... Good grief

@br.m Wherever Jesus Christ is there is the Catholic church= Ignatius of Antioch disciple to John the revelator and Peter.

​@br.m surrounding your other claims. Yes the Catholic church believes in Christ. Its all throughout the bible the church compiled. Faith alone is only mentioned once in scripture its James 2 24. John Calvin once said faith alone saves but faith is never alone. Penance is all throughout the OT and NT see 1 Cor. 9:27, Matt. 6:17-18 and Joel 1:13-14. Surroundinf purgatory the problem is sin attaches to beleivers Heb 12 1 yet we can see in Revelations sin cannot enter heaven. God bless

What Holy Scripture has said Christ's Church would be: How Christ's Church has conformed to Holy Scripture: It will be founded by GOD: Psalms 127:1, Matthew 16:18 It was founded by GOD. It will be highly visible: Isaiah 2:2, Matthew 5:14 It is highly visible. It will have the authority: Matthew 18:15-18, John 20:21-22 It has the authority given to it by Jesus Christ. It will have a Father Figure: Isaiah 22:20-25 It has a Father Figure, as GOD always had for His people. It will be a Theocracy and not a Democracy: Eph 5:23-24 It is a Theocracy. It is governed from the top down. The blueprint for it is described in the book of Acts. It is blueprinted in the book of Acts. It will have priests, deacons, Bishops: Acts 6:1-6,14:22,20:28 It always has had priests, deacons, and Bishops. It will have Apostolic Succession: Psalm 109:8, Acts 1:20-26 It has Apostolic Succession. It will offer sacrifice every day in every place: Malachi 1:11 It does offer sacrifice every day in every place. It will be guided by the Holy Spirit: John 14:16-17, 16:12-13 It is guided by the Holy Spirit: Acts 15:28, Rev 2:7 Truths of GOD to be revealed to it over time: John 16:12-13 Truths of GOD have been revealed to it over time: Eph 3:10 It will be the Pillar and Foundation of Truth: 1Timothy 3:15 It is the Pillar and Foundation of Truth. It will be the guardian of truth: 2Timothy 1:13-14 It has been the guardian of truth for almost 2000 years. It will uphold Apostolic Tradition: 2Thessalonians 2:15 It upholds Apostolic Tradition. It will have Church councils: Proverbs 11:14, Acts 15:1-29 It holds periodic Church councils: Acts 15:1-29 It will be attacked from the inside: John 6:70 It has been attacked from the inside. It will be attacked from the outside: Matthew 5:10-12, 10:22 It has been attacked from the outside. All who fight against it shall be confounded: Isaiah 41:11 37,000+ Protestant sects is proof that they are confounded. It will be found in every century: Ephesians 3:21 It is found in every century from the day Christ founded it. It will last forever: Isa 41:10-11, 54:17, 59:21, Matt 28:20 It is still with us today from the day in which He founded it. There is only one Church in the entire world which matches all of the Scriptural requirements as listed above. Can your sect match even one of those requirements? That's very simplistic. In my view, to believe in Jesus is to believe He existed, He's the Son of God and God in the flesh, never sinned, is our only savior and He did and say things in truth out of LOVE, NECESSITY AND with a PURPOSE. That said, we have to look closely to his deeds, particularly about establishing a Church. Why did He instituted such a thing? What was the necessity for that and the purpose? So that we don't ever loose sight of his true teachings. And what did His Church taught? Well, all we have to do is analyse all the primitive documents from the first centuries and come to the conclusion what Church today teaches the same things as the early church (and there's only one that corresponds: the Catholic Church). In conclusion: to believe in Christ is to believe and hold fast to His Church. To believe in Christ and reject His established Church is a dichotomy/contradiction. Even Christ identifies Himself with his Church (Acts 9:4; 22:7; Lk 10:16; 1Tim.3:15)

No one makes the pope God so thats an immediate lie. However the pope is a successor of Saint Peter whom Christ gave authority too. Matt 16 18 to 19, Luke 22 32 etc. This was done by the laying of hands as Paul did to Timothy. Your denial of him is as a denial of the apostles Luke 10 16.

That’s just the straw man propaganda you have been fed all your life and didn’t come to on your own. Matthew 16:17-19 and Isaiah 22 make clear that there is real authority in the Catholic Church Jesus gives and Protestants exist to keep themselves separate from Catholics not united to them both theologically, Scripturally, and logically.

@@bibleman8010 When the individual believer obeys God's Torah Law, then you have the beginning of an apostolic church. Catholicism has; it's own Law, it's own festivals, it's own "covenant" which is no covenant, it's own doctrines separate from true Bible teachings. And it is self confessed to stand in the place of God, and has it's own mediatrix, Mary the queen of heaven. We just happen to know that mediatrix under several names, Semeramus, Dianna of the Ephesians, and Ishtar to name a few. These are all historical facts, beyond contestation. What God's church looks like is Torah obedient Yeshua (Jesus) followers who cut ties with all these pagan things. Catholicism has claimed to change God's times and law, a prophecy fulfilled of the book of Daniel chapter 9. I've read the claims of Thomas Aquinas' work, various papal leaders, read several quotes from Catholic catechisms on the matter of both the 7th day Sabbath change, as well as the change of God's appointed times of Leviticus 23, new covenant theology as a replacement for Everlasting Covenant theology which is Biblical. To me, it's downright terrifying to have seen all this and watch the uninformed go down the wide path whistling Dixie as they head to destruction.
