James White: Is The Reformation Over? 

Starting here All Scripture is inspired of God+ and beneficial for teaching,+ for reproving, for setting things straight,+ for disciplining in righteousness continue onward

What do you mean by Protestantism?

and going to what?

Thousands!! They're becoming Orthodox now! 😊

One of my best friends Austin, his wife and kids just joined the Catholic Church. He grew up Protestant with me.

@@TheTransfiguredLife I read that the EO and rome are loosing hundreds of thousands around the world especially in Europe.

You must like being led astray.

Listen to both sides and ask God to lead you to the truth. Just like all religions, if the core issue of the Gospel is not being taught, it's not the truth.

The Biblical gospel and a gospel of Works cannot come together and unite. They are diametrically opposed.

@@JoelNCurry while I agree that it is through faith alone that one is saved, but works is how one exhibits that faith.

@@roberthakchin8520 We agree on that, but the Roman church council of Trent does not.

@@roberthakchin8520we do good works BECAUSE we are saved, not to be saved. Do you agree with that?

Isn’t the audio crystal clear?

ESV OR NIV are great, you can understand them very well and many churches use more of these translations.

The Legacy Standard Bible is a solid version too.

Nasb or NKJV. They use a little more of the true greek Words and translate them closer. NONE translate the greek word doulos correct. It is used over 127 times, meaning slave Not a servant. Which is more what we are, bought with a great price! Slaves to Christ The Master and Lord! The only way He is Lord is if He is our master

KJV

True, but also a sad reality for your family

I'm learning a lot of Catholics are genuine Christians. I believe you can fully understand modern Catholicism and be a Christian. I've been surprised how much of Catholic teaching is rooted in Scripture. I've also learned the Protestant church has SO many planks to take out of out own eyes. One example is that the Southern Baptist church wrote a letter in support of abortion two years before Roe v Wade. The church has also universally been against birth control until the 1930s when Protestants accepted the practice. The Catholic church stood against birth control and abortion the whole time. Today, almost all Protestants I know support using the Pill even though it can cause an abortion to take place after a conception. How many billions of babies have been murdered due to the Pill? The Catholic church remained against the Pill even before we knew it caused abortions. There have been 2 billion abortions globally since abortion was legalized globally. There's probably be way more unknown abortions caused by the Pill. Also, the Catholic Church has remained faithful to the historic teaching on divorce. If you divorce and remarry, Jesus said you are committing adultery.

It's not them its you.

@@danielpia7711 oh, ok. It doesn’t seem to happen on most other channels . Is always a bit rough on this channel. Doesn’t take away from the message though.

Yes they called themselves catholic to differentiate between them and the “Christian” gnostics. None of the church fathers or apostles would have endorsed a pope or believed 90% of what ROMAN Catholics believe.

The papacy continued after St. Peter. The second pope was Linus. If you do a google search you will see a complete list of the popes throughout history.

@@Erick-zp8vm The Bible gave us clear instructions and qualification of elders and deacons. As well as the early church father’s writings. Nobody believed in an infallible ruler over the church, or a “Vicar of Christ.” I’ll believe what scripture and the early church fathers say about the church over google.

This is poetry! ❤

Yes, he does say the name of CHRIST several times. He does share the gospel.

I don't have a good answer for you but I have to commend you on your last statement asking if you were seeing this in a biased manner. I think more people need to ask themselves this question

Thank you for you honest answer. All I seek is the truth apart from politics. Democracy is flawed. Only a Theocracy (Jesus second coming/Millenium kingdom ) is true. I refuse to swap a pope for a pastor. All are accountable to God and are sinners like the rest of us.

“I have seen the ugly, greedy side of capitalism” true capitalism is free people trading with other free people, what you are describing is not capitalism, but crony capitalism.

Dont know what being white or being from a Latin country has to do with anything. Greed is universal. If anything, it's lust, which is a perversion of wanting something. Everyone lusts after different things in an unnatural and perverse manner at different times. If you think capitalism is generally associated with protestantism, then that's because of one of the principles that was emphasized during the Reformation called "The protestant work ethic ". Coming from Luther and other reformers who realized that any vocation outside of any official clergy position was just as honorable and worthy if done for the glory of God. Any legitimate work could be a holy ministry unto itself if Christ was being honored. This ultimately produced the greatest economic system the world had ever seen in capitalism. Everyone freely buying and selling to the common good of one another. If you're describing the greed associated with the human heart, then you're describing a perversion of that system. True capitalism is a mutually beneficial system for all that developed from hard work associated with the glory of God. Take out God's glory, and you're left with a system that can be easily perverted

How about reading your bible?

@@douglasmcnay644 I do.

And on what authority do you have to forgive the sins of those who have not sinned against you?

@@user-bo3lc8fu5e When others choose to move away from the church then it is a sin against our Lord. All I can do is pray for you and forgive you. You’re welcome.

@@RRachwal21 Please define ‘The Church’, and give the basis for its authority. What does that authority entail (the extent of its role)?
