We obey not to be saved. Because we are saved, we obey. We are saved by Grace through faith, and good works are evidence of the work that the Holy Spirit has done inside us. Good works are not a tool for salvation; they are the fruit of being born again and given a new heart. (Ephesians 2:8-10; James 2:17-18; John 14:15; 1 John 2:3-6; Titus 2: 11-14).
In Indonesia there are also many Christian apologists and teachers who discuss things like this, especially not to attack Catholic brothers. and those who are academic convey a number of facts that are similar to your points, but you explain them coherently, calmly, quickly, accurately and comprehensively. Thank you, and keep preaching the Word. It's a gem of a presentation.
I have been studying apologetics for about a year now...I am born again. I am so happy I found you. The Holy Spirit is working Hard through you sir. I have had questions answered by you that I didnt even know that I had. Thankyou and God Bless You
I am SO glad I was lead to this video. I’ve been having a 2 day long discussion online with Catholics about everything in this video, and as a new-ish believer it’s a little tough for me to go in the defensive on these subjects. The only point that kept being brought up to me was Jesus telling Peter the church being built on the rock. Thank you for this video!
Bro I was born catholic and used to be super religious. But had a bunch of encounters with Christ and having demons casted out etc. last august. left catholicism and people like you who put an ease to my worries about salvation and renewing my mind from what strongholds i had before. I have been praying for alotta things like this. I feel like its so much easier to argue from the religious side cause they have so much power and structure already in the world. But its hard to take the step yourself and read the bible/consult with God directly if the religion i was taught my whole life was actually true. I asked constantly i would go back or join orthodox or any denomination but He put a peace to my mind. Loudest ive ever heard God audible voice saying "Come my son trust in me". I love God fr
Amazing response. I’ve been waiting for this and have been very excited to hear how you reply. You are so calm and collected, truly a great example for all of us. God bless you and your ministry.
How can any denomination watch this guy's videos and deem it wrong? Everything he says is based on biblical facts, nothing is left out, and he's speaking from scripture, not from mouth. Everyone needs to stop letting their elders blind them and open their eyes to The Lord.
I have an absolute certainty that I am forgiven, washed clean by the blood of Christ, and that when I die I will be in Heaven with my Father and I will spend eternity with Him. And nothing else comes close to bringing me that kind of peace and joy. 🙏🏻❤️✝️
I love a Christian who knows the Word, shows evidence of the Word and preaches it. That's why I'm a fan of you and Cliffe Knechtle. I always go with the Word. Why? Because Jesus is the Word ❤ and I always follow Jesus 🙏
'Voice of Reason' contradicted himself. First he said, all the traditions are based on the Bible. And then later, as if he forgot what he said before, he said that Bible alone is not the source of traditions but that there are other infallible authorities apart from the Bible. Also, they confuse what the Bible says. Salvation is not because of good works. But true faith & grace enables a person's heart to do good works NOT as a reward to self - but just as, say, a son who loves his father does work out of love and does not want to grieve his father - not for the fear of punishment.
Godbless you man I've struggled growing up Catholic reading my Bible and wondering why it always felt wrong nothing about they're extra doctrine in the Bible without spinning and twisting scripture
Rare steaks don’t have any blood. Raw steaks don’t have any blood. I don’t know why he mentioned steak. The red juice is just cooked proteins to put it simply. I’m glad you corrected that.
Thank you so much. I today was debating in my head whether or not Catholicism is right this helped me a lot. Thank you continue doing the Lord's work PRAISE JESUS
You see how easy to refute Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy?? Learn church history and read the Bible by the help of the Holy Spirit!! Jesus is sufficient for us. If you're not certain that you'll make it to heaven, then you're doubting God's promises and his work!
My heart breaks for most catholics who still need to learn the truth. We put our faith in Jesus Christ and what He's done for us, not ANY other human being or entity.
Reminds me of the creature that talked to Eve in the garden: “Did God really say….?” Bible: you can have assurance of salvation. Catholics: we can’t have assurances of the promise of salvation unless we do X,Y,Z… Eves sin in part was not adhering to Gods word and considering and trusting in a source that was contradictory to Gods word. We must go to Gods word to know his promises to us. I’m 100% convinced that the ethic of sola scriptura is found as early as Genesis ch 3. Thank you for the video brother, I seek to have this level of patience and understanding for those who I respectfully disagree with. Instant subscribe
Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.” He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,” he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God. You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said: 8 “ ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”
I wish I could triple thumbs up this. Excellent breakdown of Scriptural points. It’s very difficult to share this sort of straightforward truth with Catholic apologists because their terms are so incredibly redefined when it comes to things like salvation and grace. All I can say is: is grace deserved? Or undeserved? Any amount of sacramental service would make it in some way deserved (“you did this so I give you that but only if you did the thing”)- which means we’re no longer actually dealing with grace at all. Grace is not given transactionally, but by the magnanimity of God- all we need to do is relent to it, and we will do our good works after it is obtained, not before.
Awesome job brother recently ran into your channel and watched his full video on you then watched this one... I think this time he may have bit off more than he can chew with you. He's definitely a guy that knows how to muddle the waters of what protestants are saying for his listeners but God has given you wisdom. May God continue to bless and use you
I’ve seen many of your videos and I’m always thoroughly impressed by how calm, reasonable, and thought out your explanations are. The Holy Spirit is truly working in and through you. Also, your reasoning for why Jesus did not convert the wine to blood during the last supper was incredible. I’ve never heard that line of thinking and yet it makes complete sense. Keep doing the Lord’s work, God bless!!
Absolutely amazing video! You unpack the arguments so well and gave easy-to-understand, strongly scripturally based counterarguments. This helps a lot!
Thank you for the video, Ryan. I was raised Catholic, but never understood and I questioned a lot. So I was newborn when I was 19 years old I always want to help my Catholic siblings 🙏🏽
Expertly explained. This voice guy has been showing up in my feed lately and I’ve corrected on a couple of them but he’s so entrenched in catholic dogma the mental gymnastics to get to conclusion he gets to is astounding. I’ll pray for clarity and truth be revealed to him. Thank you so much for this. God bless.
I cant believe VoR is willing to make a 2 hour part 1 of 2 video essay response to this 25 minute video, and still not willing to debate you! That is absolutely bogus!
That was just phenomenal!! You nailed it brother, well done. I do LIVE debates with Roman Catholics and it seems no matter how many times we repeat these simplistic concepts they can’t grasp. Prayers for Holy Spirit to remove the blinders 😢
Hey Ryan, I just wanted to say thanks for all the great work you do. Because of people like you, I was able to truly understand the Gospel. Don't ever give up, your work is changing lives and The Lord is saving people from spiritual death. Only the truth can set people free. Stay true to the Bible, it's the only authority we have to guide us. May God bless you, brother, in Jesus Christ's mighty name. Amen! See you in heaven if we never have to meet on this earth.
Praise God to the highest on this bro. This has to be spread so the vast believers and others may know who Jesus really is and what really is His teachings were exactly. I pray that this will open up doors to bring light to all those deceived by the enemy in roman catholic brethren.
Bless you Ryan. Praise the Lord for allowing us to be led by the Holy Spirit to your biblical ministry. Faith alone, in Christ alone ✝️🤍 May our Lord guide, strengthen and protect you. In Jesus name. Amen 🙏🏼
Great video Ryan! Very well said as always. By God's mercy I was delivered from the false teaching of Catholicism and was shown the truth. It is so very clear. Need to pray for VOR and all other Catholics 🙏. God bless you brother
I love both these Christian men! They are my brothers and they themselves are brothers. I hope they both know this. Lord have mercy on us and guide us to your heavenly light. In Jesus name 🙏✝️
My heart hurts for Catholics. I truly hope their eyes are opened to the Truth of Jesus Christ. My family are “devout Catholics” they have never read the Bible and assume they know everything. The seed has been planted and I truly hope they come to the Lord!
THANK YOU for answering and replying to him .....he always is talking about against " protestants" when we followers of Christ should be talking on how to win other people for Christ by being examples and spreading his word
_Unam Sanctam_ said, “We declare, say, define, and pronounce that it is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.” You won't find that in the Bible. The Council of Florence’s papal bull, _Cantate Domino,_ says: “The sacrosanct Roman Church, founded by the voice of our Lord and Savior... firmly believes, professes, and proclaims that those not living within the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics, cannot become participants in eternal life, but will depart ‘into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels’ [Matt. 25:41], unless before the end of life the same have been added to the flock; and that the unity of the ecclesiastical body is so strong that _only to those remaining in it are the sacraments of the Church of benefit for salvation,_ and do fastings, almsgiving, and other functions of piety and exercises of Christian service produce eternal reward, and that no one, whatever almsgiving he has practiced, even if he has shed blood for the name of Christ, can be saved, unless he has remained in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church.” You won't find that in the Bible, either. But CCC #88 says that every Catholic is "irrevocably obliged" to adhere to the official dogmas of the church. The RCC has added requirements for salvation which Jesus and the Apostles never taught or required.
I have commented many times on Voice of reasons videos and he never replies when i call into question his very distorted understanding of the bible..and i asked many times just to show me where anything Catholics do is biblical..and i get nothing except other people who call me names and then block me
In no way am I dogging on the people in the Catholic faith when I mean this as i want to respect everyone as i can. This is coming from my own searching, research, and biblical scholars not bound by denomination or schism based on doctrinal disagreements. I don't want to say that every time I hear most doctrines (like the ones spouted in the response from the Catholic youtuber) something in my being just knows there is something wrong. Not to say that one's "feelings" are an infallible judgement, but there is a biblical basis to trust the discerning we get from the spirit. As well as to not blindly believe people who think they speak with authority. You must guard yourself to false teachings/teachers. There hasn't been an argument for their exclusive teachings (teachings/doctrines exclusive to Catholic church) in my experience that can be supported by proper context and meaning of biblical passages. It's usually 1 or a few verses used out of historical context or without the proper meaning of the text either metaphorically or literally, that is used to support those beliefs that weren't a part of the early church. Especially concerning the pope as well as Saint worship to name a few.
Any Church that says that without them there is No Salvation should be Marked and Avoided! Works salvation is Not Salvation! My question is do we gloss over the killings? What happened? The Apostles and the early church were Persecuted and then became the so-called church that Persecutes? Did they forget to Love? Did the Holy Spirit take a break? Always goes back to them not believing that the Scriptures are God Breathed! When you must Lie or Twist Scripture to prove your beliefs another Red Flag! Well done! God bless you brother and your ministry!
The fact he says he doesnt know if he'll have salvation just proves the catholics have a false gospel. Anyone who knows Jesus knows they are going to heaven
