Session III: Is the Roman Catholic Eucharist Biblical? Apologist Matt Slick 

Here’s the thing, what are you trusting in for your salvation? Is it your baptism, Good works, church membership? Or Jesus Christ ? The Bible teaches that we are saved by “grace through faith and not by works”(Ephesians 2:8-9).If you believe that you need to do something in order to get salvation then you are trusting in what you do. You can say it’s grace, but if you’re doing something to get saved then it is works.(Romans 11:6). God sent Jesus to die in our place to pay for our sins (1 John 2:2). Jesus then rose from the dead to give us new life (John 11:25-26). That is what saves us. It is the Person and the Work of Jesus Christ which makes us right with God. Our sins separate us from God (Isaiah 59:1-2); therefore, they must be paid for (Hebrews 2:17)and we must be born again(John 3:3). That is what Jesus’ death and resurrection accomplishes. The work of Christ is Imputed to us by God’s grace through faith (Roman’s 3:21-26; John 3:16). Nothing we can do can contribute in any way to our salvation. It is a free gift that is being given to us and all we can do is humbly receive it by trusting in the Person and Work of Jesus Christ.(1 Corinthians 15:1-5; Acts 16:31). Finally, we are either trusting in Christ or we are not(John 14:6). There is no faith in Christ plus our works equals salvation. Partially trusting in works (baptism, charitable giving, other sacraments) means not trusting in Christ. If you are adding works to the gospel, then you are lost (Galatians5:4) and on your way to hell. You are believing another gospel (Galatians 1:8-9). I emplore you to repent of this false gospel and your sins and receive the free gift of salvation that is only found in Jesus and His death for our sins and His resurrection. (Romans 4:25). Remember the Pharisee and the tax collector (Luke 18:9-14). I’m not writing this to win an argument. I’m writing this in love. I’m a beggar who was given food and I’m showing you where to get it.

Since the RCC wrote the NT , and recognized the canon of authentically God breathed books of the OT, and the same bishops and priests gave up their lives for Christ, his church and the Eucharist it'd be valid to say the protestant s are the ones 1500 years later who are in error, still.

@@wingchun1963 1. The Roman shat Catholic Church did not write the New Testament, God did. 2.!please show us the error you speak of. Protestantism is a going back to the scriptures and the teachings of the apostles that were abandoned by the Roman church. Please study church history as objectively as possible and avoid the biases where you can. You’ll see that the issues were a lot more nuanced and the reformers were looking to reform the church and these reforms were needed.

The channel did not decide, the scriptures did or have you not watched the video?

@@TomPlantagenet nope the scriptures did not or there wouldn’t be disagreement about that issue between the myriad branches of Christianity 😁

@@mpalfadel2008 Again, Jesus spoke of “the fruit of the vine”(wine) AFTER He blessed the cup.(Matthew 26:29.) Likewise, Paul 3x calls it “bread” when we eat it (after the blessing) (1 Corinthians 11:26-28). Therefore, the scriptures call it “bread” and wine”. You can deflect the issue by pointing to the “myriad branches” or you can stay on topic and see that the Catholic Church teaches a man-made blasphemous doctrine of transubstantiation and the propitiatory efficacy of the Eucharist. I suggest that you repent of your sins and this false gospel and trust in Christ alone and His death as sufficient payment for your sins and His resurrection that gives you new life.

@@TomPlantagenet Mr Plantagenet, writing down the verse won’t get ya any closer to eliminating the different ways that different sects have interpreted scripture People have argued about this for nearly a millennium Is that a point too difficult for you to grasp? I can try n dumb it down if not…

@@mpalfadel2008 well, that’s the Catholic charity I’ve grown to expect. You know what they say by a tree and it’s fruit. Both this video and myself have shown you the plain words of scripture. I know the Catholic response always comes down to a postmodern “that’s just your interpretations “. No-the words mean something objectively . How do you account for Paul referring to it as “bread” three times in that passage? How do you account for Jesus referring to it as “wine” after the blessing? What do these words mean. Stop deflecting and please answer the issue.
