One of the sneakiest things Lucifer ever did, was divide believers with denominations. Denominations are of man, not God. We are told plain as day by God, to be of one mind.
Yup!!! You got it right brother. Jesus is NOT looking for a denomination, His concern is that we are “one body and one spirit with HIM”, and are led by The Holy Spirit. We have definitely allowed satan to complicate things, we’re focusing on religion and traditions more than we’re looking to Jesus Himself.
@@Thebiggdill but some denominations believe the Gospel and others don’t. Like the Catholic Church believes the traditions save, not accepting Christ does
@@Floridacoastwriter PROTESTANTS ALWAYS PROTEST THE CHURCH OF CHRIST THEY REJECTS THAT CHRIST BUILD ONLY ONE CHURCH THROUGH HIS APOSTLE SIMON PETER WITH THE AUTHORITY OF HIS FATHER, LORD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH.

And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit". Mathew 16:18-19 - Jesus said to His Apostle Simon Peter "you are Peter, and on this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH AND THE POWERS OF DEATH SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT. I WILL GIVE YOU THE KEY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AND WHATEVER YOU BIND ON EARTH SHALL BE BOUND IN HEAVEN AND WHATEVER YOU LOOSE ON EARTH SHALL BE LOOSED IN HEAVEN". Luke 9:5 - Jesus said "and wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them". Luke 9:25 - Jesus said "FOR WHAT DOES IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE GAINS THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSES OR FORFEITS HIMSELF?". Luke 10:16 - Jesus told to His Apostles "he who hears you hears Me and he who rejects you rejects Me and he who rejects Me REJECTS HIM WHO SENT ME". Luke 10:19 - Jesus said to His Apostles "BEHOLD, I HAVE GIVEN YOU AUTHORITY TO TREAD UPON SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS AND OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY AND NOTHING SHALL HURT YOU. Luke 22:31-32 - Jesus prayed for our Church which He build only one church through His Apostle Simon Peter only "SIMON, SIMON, BEHOLD, SATAN DEMANDED TO HAVE YOU, THAT HE MIGHT SIFT YOU LIKE WHEAT, BUT I HAVE PRAYED FOR YOU THAT YOUR FAITH MAY NOT FAIL AND WHEN YOU HAVE TURNED AGAIN STRENGTHEN YOUR BRETHREN". John 5:24 - Jesus said "truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My Words and believes HIM WHO SENT ME, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment but has passed from death to life". John 5:39-40 - Jesus said "you search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life, and it is they that bear witness to Me; YET YOU REFUSE TO COME TO ME THAT YOU MAY HAVE LIFE". John 5:42-43-44 - "but I know that you have not the love of GOD within you. I HAVE COME IN MY FATHER'S NAME AND YOU DO NOT RECEIVE ME; IF ANOTHER COMES IN HIS OWN NAME, HIM YOU WILL RECEIVE. How can you believe who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only GOD?". John 7:18 - "he who on his own authority seek his own glory but he who seeks the glory of HIM who sent Him is true and in Him there is no falsrhood".

John 21:17 - Jesus said to His Apostle Simon Peter "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because Jesus said to Peter the third time "do you love Me?" And Peter said to Jesus "LORD, you know everything, you know that I love you" Jesus said to Peter "FEED MY SHEEP". Mark 4:11-12 - Jesus told to His 12 Apostles "to you has been given the secret of the Kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables, so that they may indeed see but not perceive and may indeed hear but not understand, lest they should turn again and be forgiven". Mark 13:5-6 - Jesus warned us "take heed that no one leads you astray. Many will come in My name, saying I am he and they will leads many astray". Mark 13:22-23 - Jesus warned us "FALSE CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS WILL ARISE AND SHOW SIGNS AND WONDERS TO LEAD ASTRAY, IF POSSIBLE, THE ELECT. BUT TAKE HEED, I HAVE TOLD YOU ALL THINGS BEFOREHAND".
Even Jesus did NOT worship His mother! "And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!” But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” Luke 11:27-28 NKJV
Yet another example of a non-Catholic asserting false teachings of the Catholic church. Catholics don't worship Mary. If your gonna engage, at least learn what the other side believes first.
@@jtnicholson3483then tell them why they are wrong, instead of just saying they are wrong. Veneration of Mary is not biblical, nor praying to saints to go to God for you. Jesus’s death and resurrection gave us a direct line to God. We do not need an earthly gatekeeper. The gate is open and ready for us to step through. Just saying we can all agree the Catholic Church added some things that shouldn’t be there.
If you really believed God’s word you would 1. First understand that it was the Catholic Church who compiled it. And 2. One of the Bible verses that prove Mary should be venerated is this one from Luke 1:41-42 ‘ When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was FILLED with the HOLY SPIRIT. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “BLESSED are you among women, and BLESSED is the child you will bear!” ‘ The Holy Spirit who filled Elizabeth, and the Holy Spirit who is God and God who is Jesus, described Mary and Jesus WITH the same WORD = BLESSED. If you can’t believe it, then you really don’t believe the Bible or Jesus.
Inspired by God Mary said when she visited her cousin All nations will call me blessed. Catholic do not worship Mary. Jesus gave us His mother to be ours to that means all humanity. Behold your mother
Don’t worry about it! You have the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, who teaches you all things and brings all that Jesus said to your remembrance (John 14:26!) Seek God above all things and you will learn what you need to know from Him❤️
I'm currently reading a book called, "A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture" by Bishop Friedrich Justus Knecht. It goes through the Bible and explains what each story means, the background, the history, and the application to our lives. If you ever want to know how Catholics view the Bible and salvation history I really reccomend it. It's in the public domain so you can find the whole thing published free online.
@@moxygirlheyPrayer to the saints is present in the early church and among the church fathers. The Catholic Church is Christ's church established by him. You cannot be of a foreign adoptee church of God, God only has one Church.
Stop it with your smug remarks. Everything she says is the truth about the church. The church is perfect. Some of the people in it are not. Sick people go to hospitals. Sinners go to church. Your hypocrisy is appalling.
The "Church" is not the Catholic Church. The Church is EVERY believer who has placed their faith in Jesus Christ. The gates of hell will not prevail over the church universal.
Universal Church is the meaning of the Roman nation instituted church so all religions would stop warring each other. All Satanic religions became a part of that church. The Catholic Church. Now the worship of Satan is in the home of the pope's.

I was thinking about changing denominations and told God that I would go where He wanted me to. One day in a small chapel during daily mass I saw Jesus in the last supper and crucifixion, when the bread becomes Him. I was trying very hard not to cry. The love I felt was huge. Needles to say, I stayed in the Catholic Church.
@@Thebiggdillthat’s a little unfair. Not all denominations are evil like you say. Most are just a way to separate specific, and most of the time secondary non salvific beliefs. However, and this is a big however, the Roman Catholic Church is one of those denominations. Not only are they unbiblical, heretical, and in some cases outright blasphemous, but the history of their beginnings have little to do with Jesus. For the first 300 years the Roman’s outright banned Christianity and Christian’s were persecuted mercilessly. Along comes emperor Constantine who was ruling at a time when the Roman Empire was falling apart so he lifted the ban on Christianity and attempted to unify Christians and the Roman Empire by calling the counsel of nicea. Instead, Constantine refused to fully embrace the faith and continued practicing Roman pagan beliefs. The RCC from the start was a toxic mix of Christian and pagan beliefs. The literal presence of Christ in the Eucharist that OP felt so much love for (no offense) is completely unbiblical but was a very popular practice among Roman pagans called theophagy “eating of your god” and was commonly practiced long before Rome’s conversion. Each saint has a different attribute you pray for a particular blessing like saint Beretta for fertility. Nowhere is this taught in scripture but the Roman pantheon of gods was identical. In fact, they kept all of their statues in their temples and just renamed them after the apostles and other saints. The RCC declared itself the “vicar of Christ” and eventually when the Roman Empire collapsed, the popes took on the same title as the Roman emperor “Pontifex Maximus”. I could go on and on but you get the point. Of course Catholics deny this. They hide their pagan practices under convoluted and unbiblical theology. For this reason they are forced to deny the sufficiency of scripture.
The Saddest part of Catholicism is that the Bible is not the ultimate determination of truth. Its a combination of tradition, Bible and the Vatican (pope) Ultimately the religious aspect Jesus was completely against it. We are not qualified to interpret the bible according to the Catholic Church. The biggest thing is that the Catholic church IS organized and globally. You really don't have to do much work in figuring out what is the "right" thing to do as they pretty much have it covered. How to pray, how to worship how to do good deeds etc and the Catholic church gets to say if you're a good Christian or not. Except God never said that people show follow and obey an organization.
Jesus wasn't against tradition, neither the apostles. In fact, the passing of the Christian message during the first decades were all through oral tradition since the Gospels weren't written yet. The main source of truth for the Catholic Church is undoubtedly Scripture, but as you point out we also have Tradition and the Magisterium . You may ask why isn't Scripture the only source? Because Jesus told the apostles that he didn't have time to tell them everything but the Holy Spirit will teach them everything (John 14:26). The action of the Holy Spirit in the Church is shown through the right interpretation of Scripture, but also through Tradition and the Magisterium. I suggest you to read about the first council the Church had, the council of Jerusalem where the apostles got together to decide whether circumcision should be a requirement for the new members of the Church (Act 15). Was it recorded in the Gospels that Jesus say to them that he didn't want people in His Church to be circumcised? No! In fact, he was circumcised. So how did the apostles had the authority to decide and made the right decision? Though the Holy Spirit. John was pretty clear that the Gospels didn't record everything Jesus did (John 21:25), also Paul said to the communities to follow the Traditions (1 Corinthians 11:2). Nowhere does Scripture says it is the only source of truth, that's why the other sources are also very important. Protestantism rejecting Traditions is what has caused so much division, you all can't agree with one another and that's why we have so many versions of the "Truth" when there should be only one. All because you're ignoring the teachings the Apostles passed down to their disciples such as the Church Fathers, and so much stuff. I usually don't reply to this kind of comments, but I have a profound love and respect for the Church. I would just invite you to do a more profound and unbiased background check on the Catholic Church: Where are our true roots? Why have we lasted so long? What is the true meaning of Tradition? Anyway, my words are just words, whether you believe them or maybe get a little motivation to investigate this faith falls in the power of the Holy Spirit m God bless you brother/sister in Christ! Edit: also, sorry if you find anything with the wrong spelling or grammar, my mother tongue is not English
You might would have a good point if it weren’t for the fact that all the writers of the NT were Catholic Christians and that the Christian Bible was canonized by the Catholic Church. If it weren’t for the Catholic Church there wouldn’t be a bible. At very least show the Catholic Church that Jesus Christ founded a little gratitude for the bible they so graciously handed you.
Yeah you’re right that’s why Protestants are divided on so much because the Holy Spirit is telling everyone something different? The fact that the Eucharist was never called just a symbol or memorial for the first 1500 or so years? I’m in the process of conversion because I can’t lie to myself on this stuff anymore. I encourage you to do the same. The bible itself says no scripture is up for private interpretation and that’s all Protestants have ever done. I’m done with being confused.
Well, the Bible isn’t the ultimate authority. If that were true, Jesus would have had no authority over the apostles, because he wasn’t quoting from the Bible (OT & NT fully compiled Bible).
I became catholic again after listening to Father Lampert, Father Martin, Father Ripperger etc. The exorcists of the catholic church. They explained everything that I did not understand. We do not worship Mama Mary. We pray to Her and the saints to pray for us, like you would ask your friend to pray for u. ❤
The Roman Catholic Church is 100% against • abortion • divorce • condoms • women pastors • pre marital sex • gay marriage • trans Jesus started the Roman Catholic Church
I'd respectfully disagree that the Catholic church is holding to complete truth. The papacy has changed a lot. Just as the Protestant churches are changing so has the Roman Catholic church. Orthodoxy hasn't changed since Jesus left this earth. That is the reason I became Orthodox vs Catholic or any of the Protestant denominations.
What do you mean they have not changed?They changed along side the Catholic Church on up to 1054 .they changed by not acknowledging the Bishop of Rome as the supreme head of the Catholic Church, they changed in the the teaching of Divorce and contraception.
This is the only thing i do not agree with Sam Shamoun on. We are not to pray to dead people. Saying 1000 "hail Mary" isnt gonna forgive your sins. No confession stand is gonna forgive your sins. When we accept Christ as our lord and Savior we are Saints. So i guess the Catholic Church should make statues to all of us.
Same arguments that persuaded me aswell. Apostolic succession, 2000yrs and the gates of hell have not prevailed! That is remarkable. The seat of Peter marks it as the one Jesus built his church on. It’s the real theological questions that lead me to the Catholic Church. God bless you ☺️☺️☺️💯
How many Catholic priests have sexually abused children in their charge? How often did the Church intervene to protect them from justice? Seems like hell has prevailed over the Catholic Church.
@@TheEagleChristian I think it’s less than 1% but the fact that you are pointing to this as your argument says more about you than it does about the church.
Like what he said to peter, And I say also unto thee, Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it The catholic church will always prevail against sin and temptation
I’m not sure you’ve fully understood the grammar of that scripture. And the context. Although it would seem that way read simply, the use of the word “this” means that it isn’t him, but where God sends him. We can’t treat Peter like an idol. We only ever go back to Jesus, if we look to another “human” we know something isnt right. Doesn’t mean we can’t be grateful for the church fathers and their work. But who cares about them. I worship Jesus, he died for us not Peter. Peter was just an obedient man that did Gods work among many others.
@Jack-yf1ss @Jack-yf1ss I was just quoting the Bible, I have done a lot of stuff in the catholic faith, I was trying to get at the fact that he was letting peter know that the church will never fail. Mb for not clarifying lol
@fatbysnacksident3217 yea I know that he was talking about how the church won't fail to peter. Sorry bout that, still a teen trying to figure out Bible quotes lol
The thing with Catholicism is the reverence they have towards Mary, as if she’s a deity that Jesus has given authority to be a mediator. Mary was a human being, just like we are today, yes by the Power of God she birthed Jesus without a man; it wasn’t because she “chose” to do it out of her own glory and capability. Mary didn’t die a virgin, therefore she’s not a virgin anymore, she WAS a virgin “but” everyyyy one who came (and will come) to this earth also came (and will come) as a virgin, it’s not a peculiar asset to Mary alone. After Jesus, she had s3x with her husband Joseph, and had other children. And throughout the ENTIIIIIIRE Holy Bible, Jesus didn’t give us any instructions to address Mary as a medium between us in God, therefore to do so it’s called “necromancy” on the basis of “IDOLATRY.” When Jesus taught the disciples how to pray, Jesus taught them “Our Heavenly Father……..(you know the rest), Jesus didn’t refer to Mary as anything more special than we are, Jesus didn’t teach us “Hail Mary” prayer, we “chose” to do it. We gave her that pedestal, and out of that tradition and religiosity satan has found a loophole to divide the church and we fall for it, this is what idolatry is about; we tell Jesus His Word and instructions that He CLEARLY left us are not enough and thus adding our tradition makes more sense. It’s ignorance, and it’s also unrighteousness because we’re “choosing” to do what makes sense to us. What people are calling “Mother Mary” today has no idea that they’re referencing one of the most wicked principality….that was “always” satan’s plan, to DECEIVE us, resulting in division and distraction. The beautiful thing about all of this is that, Jesus will have the last say so. And the worst part of allllll this is that Mary herself wasn’t a “Roman Catholic” 😞 (we’re sooo gullible), and she didn’t even d!e as one.
Always nice to hear a non-Catholic tell Catholics what they believe. Mary can intercede on our behalf with her son Jesus when we pray. The miracle of Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding was done because of a request from his mother. Jesus asked her what it had to do with him that they were out of wine? She implored him and he performed a miracle. So, kindly shut up about things you do not understand.
@@sunnyhunn9315 brooo, i got kicked out of a group because i told the Catholic admin that Mary didnt Die a Virgin. She had other children after the Birth of Christ between her and Joseph. Sam calls Protestants "hypocrites" over us not worshiping Mary and saints like Catholics. But no where in the Gospel or in the writing of Paul does it say to treat Mary or the Saints like deities. We Followers of Christ are ALL Saints when we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior. We dont need another sinner to act as a mediator between God and Us, because Jesus was our Mediator to the Father.
They probably thought you were a troll. But anyhoo: NO SACRAFICE, NO WORSHIP. Jews gave their animals and crops to God as a burnt offering as per the Bible. Aztecs sacraficed to the sun god (demon) and Ba'al demands sacrafice too (false idols). Catholics do communion in rememberance of Jesus every Sunday. Worship IS NOT singing and reading a verse or three on Sunday. NO SACRAFICE, NO WORSHIP.
Jesus founded the catholic church. There where no denominations until the q300s wheb the great schism happened and then I. The 1500s due to the protestant reformation.
Jesus left us a church real church which is not the Catholic but the Orthodox. Catholics say Orthodox are saved and they agree the orthodox eucharist is the true body and blood of Christ while the Orthodox don't believe that about the Catholic eucharist (which is true they have lost the meaning of eucharist along the way)
She says she was swayed by intellectual arguments but what convinced her was that the eucharist is actually Jesus' body. That's not an intellectual argument.
It isn't. The emotional appeal of being connected to God thru a ritual has appeal to some. All the catholic talking points come after the fact. I find many catholic converts are drawn in by the pageantry of the catholic church, its aesthetics and beauty, smells and bells, etc. It is like appreciating art than it is pure cold logic.
It is about a RELATIONSHIP not religion. No RELATIONSHIP no eternal destination of Heaven. Very sad that Satan has successfully blinded the hearts of so many who think they have been successful walking the narrow road that Jesus tells us about. Praying this young woman realizes this before it is too late.❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Salvation is not built on works or church membership, that's not up for debate or up to interpretation, it's an Act of Faith, salvation is in the heart, not the water

“How do you receive the eucharist? Well you come under his church.” THIS IS NOT BIBLICAL THIS IS NOT WHAT JESUS SAID PEOPLE. In fact it’s what he came against.

Love Lila & her ministry but the RCC allegiance is an oddball. Her points here that "confirm" RCC are categorical errors. Succession to papacy isnt a biblical framework ("royal priesthood" of all saints, for example) and neither is transubstantiation. That said, im grateful for her work and pray the Lord will continue to use her to point others to Jesus and to save unborn lives!
That's interesting to me because those arguments I have heard as well and they are the reason I reject Catholicism. Please please please read that correctly, I am not rejectings Catholics, I reject Catholicism. The argument for the Eucharist relies souly on a literal reading if a metaphorical passage, the argument for the Papacy is a question begging argument where they assume they are right in spite of no evidence and tell you there is evidence because they are right, it is completely illogical, and the chain of Apostolic Authority does not exist. When you read in the book of Acts the apostles sought to fill the role that was left by Judas Iscariot, they had a criteria for who qualified for the position. They had to have been present at the baptism of Jesus, had to be with Him in His ministry, and had to have been a witness of His death, burial, and resurrection. NO ONE qualifies for that position beyond the 14 individuals in the book of Acts and those 14 are the original 11 desciples called by Jesus, the Apostle Paul, and the two men brought forward, Barsabbas and Matthias. Out of 120 individuals who were following Christ with faith, only two were found qualified to be Apostles. And only Matthias was recognized as Apostle. Those were the only 14 individuals who were ever given recognition as potential Apostles and only 13 of them actually were Apostles. There is no chain of authoirty, when the 13 Apostles died, so did their authority, it was not and could not have been passed on to anyone. All that remained is what they left behind in their writings. To this date, the only teaching I find somewhat convincing of Catholicism is salvation as a result of Baptism and even that one is extremely weak in my eyes. Scripture simply does not allow for Catholicism to be true.
I will point you verses that will confirm to you Eucharist is True, how do you call Jesus a liar? Let's begin John Chapter 6. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh." 52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" 53 So Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; 55 for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Notice in verse 52 when the Jews try to question what Jesus was explaining about giving his flesh to eat Jesus doubles down and a lot of his disciples leave him, and Jesus doesn't stop them from leaving because he meant what he said. But to understand Jesus meant this literal, notice Jesus spoke about the Jews ancestors eating the manna in the wilderness and they died. Let's established what the manna is when you look up John Chapter 6 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'" 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. If you look at psalms 78 25 Mortals ate of the bread of angels; he sent them food in abundance. Notice The manna is bread from heaven and anything that rains down from heaven from God is definitely a miracle it's even described in psalms as the bread of the Angels this is just not regular bread made by man in the bakery. Now also note this Manna that is a miracle that comes from heaven Jesus Describes it as "Your ancestors ate this bread at the wilderness and died" but in John 6 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh." Notice The manna and the bread that Jesus Gives both comes from heaven but one the jews are and died, but the one Jesus gives if you eat it, you will live forever and he literally says that it's his flesh, notice also this is just not lateral bread from the bakery it's Jesus flesh from heaven, because it's a Miracle. In these verses Jesus shows us The Eucharist is greater is greater than the Manna in the wilderness which is bread directly from heaven. So if you take the Eucharist as a symbol then you are definitely acknowledging that the manna is greater than the Eucharist even though the Jews are it and died and the Eucharist you eat it and live forever. So for this passage to make sense the Eucharist is the True body of Jesus and if it's a symbol it's not greater than the Manna and it can't save you to live forever because it doesn't come from heaven. However the Body blood sole and divinity of Jesus hidden in the appearance of wine and bread is a Miracle that happens every Sunday at mass and anyone who eats and drinks of it will live forever because his body, blood divinity saves. I hope this clears your doubts on the Eucharist.
@@moengalex6526 thankyou so much for your well studied and thought out response. I appreciate the time you put into it! I'm sorry but no, it does not clear any doubt because you did exactly what I said happens. This is the only passage, I repeat, THE ONLY passage Catholics use to defend the Eucharist and it is beyond flimsy. In this passage Jesus calls Himself, "The door". Do we then say Jesus is a plank of wood with hinges? Of course not! We understand the metaphorical intent of His words. John 6 is metaphor after metaphor after metaphor. And the verses you quoted do not change that. Jesus is using metaphoric language, not literal. As you yourself pointed out, very eloquently and beautifully I might add, that Jesus referenced back to manna, which was bread from heaven. Even though they ate bread that was a miracle from God, they still died. That is Jesus's whole crux here. Eating bread is not enough. Even if it is bread made from angels, brought from heaven, gifted and blessed from God, it is still not enough. We need something beyond the eating of bread. You pointed this out so beautifully and I thankyou for that. Where we depart though is on the application. Continuing in Jesus's teaching He said John 6:51 ESV [51] I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” You quoted this verse as well so please be patient with me as I draw out what I see in it. Who did Jesus say this bread would be given for? Believers? Jews? Gentiles? No. He gave it to, "The world". This absolutely flies against the Eucharist by my understanding because even if I profess Christ and follow the Bible, if I go to a Catholic church, they will not permit me to take part of the Eucharist until they have made certain that I accept Catholicism. By doing this, what Jesus intended to be for the world the Catholic church then revoked and limited it to only those within their recognized and approved group. But now looking at the passage as a whole, everything falls perfectly in line if we take it metaphorically. What was the bread that Jesus gives? His flesh. How did He give it? By dying on the cross to pay the death that God's justice demands for sin. What did this accomplish? 2 Corinthians 5:19 ESV [19] that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Notice the same language? Through Christ God brought reconciliation to who? The world. How? Through Christ's death. And what did Jesus say His death would bring in John 6? Life to the world. It is one message from start to finish but this gets absolutely dismantled if we take a literal reading. You said Jesus would be a liar if we don't take a literal meaning, respectfully I disagree (shocker ;) ). Neither view makes Jesus a liar. The metaphoric view takes His words to have a meaning beyond canablism, and the literal view takes the words at face value. This is not a question that can be answered through morality, like saying one makes Jesus a liar, but the answer can only be granted when we seek to answer the question, "How does the rest of the New Testament treat Christ's body as the bread?" And even in the upper room, when Jesus gave bread He said, "This is my body which is broken for you." Jesus didn't cut off a slab of His skin to give to His apostles, the bread was a symbol of Christ body. And what happened to Christ shortly after this? His crucifixion. It all points straight at the cross where He was offered up as the propitiation for sins.
@@andrewjackson8244 it's up to you, but it's the truth is, it clears it, down, if you honestly went through what I said and still think the Eucharist is Just bread made in the bakery then what you just said is that the manna in the wilderness that doesn't save, is greater than The Eucharist which you eat and you live forever, in shot according to you The manna is is a Miracle and the Eucharist is bread from a bakery and is not greater than the Manna is the wilderness which is a miracle. I just pray to Christ to open your eyes, if it were Just bread it would never save you, Jesus made it clear, "Truly if you do not eat my body or drink my blood you have no life in yourself (eternal life) for my body is True food and my blood is True drink. Anyways peace of Christ be with you.
@@andrewjackson8244 the other problem with you, is you are accusing Catholics of Cannibalism and that is not the understanding of the Church, if the bread would turn to an ear and we ate it then it would be Cannibalism, what happens here is called transubstantiation where by the bread and wine stays but the substance remains.
@@moengalex6526 I think you miss my point though. And I appreciate that you truly wish for me to come to believe what you perceive as true. Regardless of what the outcome of this conversation, your love for a fellow human can not be questioned and does not go unnoticed. Now maybe I wasn't clear, I do not place any value of salvation on the Eucharist. I do not find the power in it that you claim. Why? Because it is all metaphoric to Jesus dying on the cross and us placing our faith in His finished work. Yes it is true, if we do not eat of His flesh or drink of His blood there is no life, but what is the application of that? You presume it is the Eucharist, I do not agree. I believe it is the pillar of faith. By placing your faith in Christ you are partaking in His death, burial, and resurrection. This is supported in the Epistles as well as the Gospels. What I am saying is there is nothing in the Eucharist with the power to save because John 6 has nothing to do with the Eucharist or Communion but everything to do with a person placing their faith in the work of Jesus Christ on the cross. That is the meaning of John 6. I can support that with the other three Gospels, Romans, Corinthians, Hebrews, James, 1 John and really every book in the Bible. Also I do not place the manna in the wilderness as more important than Communion. I am saying the two are incomparable, which is what Jesus was saying. We need something more than manna, not something comparable to it. This is why I reject the teachings of the Eucharist, and really Catholicsm. In order to get the Eucharist, you have to start with the premise of the Eucharist, read that onto the text of John 6 to try and act like Jesus was talking about the Eucharist when He wasnt, and take a literal interpretation of a metaphorical passage. Nothing adds up, I see no support at all in the Bible for the teaching of the Eucharist.
No change with the Assumption. It was always believed by the Early Church. Only difference is that the Church finally nailed it down formally. God bless~
Dear Lila, I have the greatest respect for you. For a time I entertained becoming Roman Catholic too, but came to recognize that most parishioners are devoted to the heirarchy of the priesthood, not a personal need for a relationship with Jesus Christ. In review of the most militantly pro abortion leaders, I discovered the most evil promoters were brought up Catholic and Jesuit (I.e. Biden, Pelosi, Trudeau, Fauci). I pray you return to your simple, biblical faith, not the reliance on the counterfeit ancient religion that has persecuted and killed many millions of Reformed followers. Hope you will reconsider your position. Much love and grace to you in Jesus, and your ministry dear.
Talks about theology ? Then reverts to a works salvation of being Catholic to come under Christs body and not repent and believe in Christs to become one with Christ. Wow. It’s so simple it hurts .
The one “catholic” church is the sainthood of all believers, not people who are confirmed in the RCC. There’s no other name (or institution) by which we can be saved, save for the name of the Son of God - Christ Jesus. HE alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one goes to the Father except through Him. No institution, priest, denomination, or even correct doctrine saves a person. A person of course must have correct doctrine, but it’s the Person of Jesus Christ who saves and He will sanctify us by the work of the Holy Spirit indwelling believers. We must cling to Jesus, who came to take away the sins of the World. I’m declaring what the Word of God itself says. The path is narrow that leads to salvation and the gate wide that leads to destruction. We cannot work our way into the kingdom of God. We must simply trust in Him, through His Son and the sufficiency of His work on the cross, and out of our love and gratefulness to Him, seek to live for God. Cling to Christ Jesus!
Incorrect. The Catholic Church held specific teachings and practices to be true. Protestants don't subscribe to many of them. And there was no Protestantism at the time of the Apostles. Therefore, "catholic" doesn't apply to Protestants.
@@littleone1656You’re misunderstanding my use of the term “catholic.” The term means “universal.” My point was that the Church, as in the Body of believers at large is not contained in the RCC. The RCC is not the way of salvation; Jesus Christ is. I believe there are genuine followers of Christ in the RCC, just as there are genuine followers in the Orthodox and Protestant denominations. But being a “member” of any of these denominations isn’t what saves a person. It is trusting in Christ a Jesus (and consequently obeying/following Him - because if you trust and love Him, you will follow Him). Some passages - Jesus said, “If you love me, you will obey me.” (John 14:15) He who confesses with his mouth that Jesus is Lord and believes in his heart that God raised him from the dead will be saved. (Romans 10:9) “What can we do to perform the works of God?” Jesus said, “The work of God is this-that you believe in the one He has sent.” (John 6:28-29).
@@tiffanydaniel8996 I understood you perfectly. There is only ONE Catholic Church. Protestants are not part of it. The early Church was called Catholic, not just because it was considered universal. But bc it adhered to a specific set of doctrines. Most of which you dont abide by. Therefore, not you nor any other Protestant are members of the universal Church as described by the early Christian writers
Many devoted Christians in the Catholic faith. Putting aside every argument of the things not ordained by Christ, what the leader of the church is saying and allowing shows that it is not following Christ.
The Bible is the truth I look to Jesus as my savior I only try to emulate his ways The papacy and the Vatican seem so far from the image of Christ who would preach the word outside so everyone could hear he did so without any idols, gold statues, burning incense, fancy robes and we warned of such things We are humans who are weak and fail so I put no faith in man only in The Lord However the lord does put people in positions to teach and help others find the way so I pray for all of our teachers, priests and pastors Thank you lord
I have always thought the same! It always strikes me as odd when churches, especially Catholic ones, tend to name their churches and buildings after “saint ____” rather than Jesus as well. I will never understand why they tend to put others before Jesus. At least that’s what it seems like to me.
The bible is just a collection of books superglued together… who decides in the first place which are included and excluded? It’s the church councils that decided… theoretically lead / guided by the holy spirit. It’s the case of egg (bible) or chicken (church); which came first? Clear for the first 350 odd years, it was the church (chicken) first that put together (lay) the bible (egg).
@sacredheart0760 darling not papacy not Bible at all. The Bible was made by a sussesor of Peter, meaning a Pope, so, not Peter, not the Church, not the Bible, and none of your denominations existed if there's not Peter (Popes).
Just know that Jesus and his Apostles were all Jews so you had better understand the kingdom they knew and the one Jesus Christ the king re-established before going off the rails in your own head. Peter warns as such in 2 Peter 3.
@@TheCoachsCoach933 if you’d like to help someone understand the word of Our Father you may want to come from a better place I’m always trying to learn and understand more about the Bible and we all have different levels of intelligence and spiritual maturity so if you know something that’s good and beneficial for those of us that are perhaps still trying to understand or maybe just starting to read the word that’s great but your delivery seems a little harsh i apologize if I insulted you in any way I was expressing my feelings but I am always open and wanting to learn more God bless you 🙏❤️
Yes. The church is a body. The body has a brain. The brain tells the body what to do. We have a pope who tells us what to do. Jesus said if your brother won’t listen to the church. Mt 18. How do u listen to 1000s of churches ?
Established 325 years after His death and resurrection by a Roman emperor who refused to fully embrace the faith and continued pagan practices. For this reason they are forced to deny the sufficiency of scripture and have to jump through layers of complicated theology and tradition to try to justify its practices. It goes like this, they are the only ones who can interpret scripture, and if you can’t find it in the scripture, it’s because they are the only ones who can interpret scripture. Circular unbiblical logic. I pray you find the fullness of His abounding grace.
I was baptized Catholic 10 years ago but I cannot get behind the papacy. I believe the Catholic Church has become far too worldly and has lost it's way. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the mass but I don't believe that you HAVE to become Catholic to be saved. It's all too political for my taste.
This makes me sad. Lila seems to be such a sweet woman, a woman that exudes the Fruits of the Spirit - but the Catholic Church itself is full of corruption & false doctrine. I realize many Protestant churches are as well, but this is one reason why we shouldn't follow a denomination, we should follow Christ. I pray Lila wakes up to the false teachings of Catholicism, but I also think she's a good example of a Holy Spirit filled believer.
@@I.Kat. I just replied to you but I'm not seeing it so I'll try again. None are "right," aside from the Philadelphia Church of Revelation, but that isn't a denomination - it's people that have their faith in Christ & His _finished_ work on the cross _alone,_ rather than in their own works, their (in)ability to follow the law, sacraments & confessions, traditions or a specific denomination. We are saved by His grace through our faith. That's it. All the other stuff isn't the cause of salvation, they're results of it. 🙂
Why I'm not a catholic: Jesus says call no man father (Matthew 23:9), Mary had other children and she was not God's mother, Queen of Heaven is eerily similar to what catholics call "the virgin Mary", pope basically means "papa" and Peter definitely had a wife, catholicism forbids a pope to marry, lent teaches to abstain from meat (doctrines of men), catholics changed the 10 commandments to purposely elevate the pope, universal church is literally what the antichrist is going to set up. Rev. 17 and 18 is specific to Rome, which is where catholicism came from. Transubstantiation is not a thing. Cannibalism is strictly forbidden and we are not to drink blood. The dead don't send prayers to God on your behalf, Jesus is our only mediator. Vain repetitions don't impress God. And looking at my savior dead on the cross is not a "good reminder" as some say. My savior, the Lord Jesus Christ is alive! He is not a statue (graven image). “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9

I flew out to be at my mother's bedside when she passed on. For 10 years, she was tied to an oxygen tank bec of emphysema. The doctors took her off of all her medications and oxygen, so she was barely able to take a breath for several days. But within 10 seconds of her dying... she Screamed Bloody Murder! It made me think about that movie Ghost, with Patrick Swayze, when the demons came and got the guy who was hit by a car, and then he was dragged off kicking and screaming into the abyss. I used to be a Religious Hypocrite, but for the last 7 years, I read my Bible every month and evangelize to everyone I meet.

The Truth scared the Hypocrite right out of me! The whole Bible is 72hrs÷30=2.4hrs/Day. He would rather have 10% of every day from a Wise Virgin, than 10% of a Foolish Virgin's income. (Matt 25) So I read A-Z: Acts-Zeph every month. I have not gone to church in years. If anyone is caught in wilful sin, Pastors are to expose them before the entire congrigation as an example. God can't stand Religion, but is looking for a relationship: The small Remnant that ❤ God with ALL of our heart, mind, soul and strength and Obeys Everything His Word says to do. All scripture is God breathed. Every VS quoted in the NT came from the OT. so it makes sense why Satan convinces the Jews to Reject the NT, and for the Christians to Reject the OT. Yeshua did away with anything having to do with The Temple/Priests, Animal Sacrifices, and killing people caught in a sin. So the rest of the 613 All fall in line with 1 or more of the 10 Commandments: #1 ❤ YHWY with ALL of your Heart, Mind, Soul & Strength (Not Most) #2 Have No carved images: cross jewelery, statues 3 Keep His Name Holy: Yeshua was a Hebrew and a not Greek; so Jesus is Blasphemous 4 Remember The Keep The Sabbath Day Holy (Saturday) ~❤ your Neighbor/Forgive your Enemies 70x7 5 Honor your Parents 6-10 Don't: Hate, Lust, Steal, Lie, Covet ~Never Eat an unclean animal: Pork, Shellfish, etc... ~YHWH ⏳️❤☘️🐇 H A T E S 💐🎂🇺🇲🥳 PAGAN 🎃🦃🎄🕎 WORSHIP Amos 5:12 “I hate, I despise your feasts!

Jesus es el fundador de la iglesia católica. “Tú eres Pedro y sobre esta piedra edificaré mi iglesia”. Pedro es el primer papa y la sucesión papal ha sido ininterrumpida. Nosotros tenemos el cuerpo, sangre, alma y divinidad en el Santísimo sacramento del altar. Lo dice la biblia por tanto la iglesia católica es la iglesia de Cristo. Además nosotros guardamos toda la tradición milenaria, incluso los ornamentos que usa el sacerdote son los mismos ornamentos que se usaban en el templo de Jerusalén cuando se entraba al santo santorum.
I agree! But it was the Catholic Church who compiled the Bible in the Councils of Carthage and Hippo. Without the authority of the Catholic Church, it would not be common belief that the four Gospels writers were divinely inspired.
Mary is human as is every other human and she will be judged just as all others. Saints are not to be prayed to but only the Father. Their is no physical embodiment of God other than Jesus Christ and others are not to be worshiped and praised in the same way as our Lord and Savior.
The one beef that I have about Catholics is the general consensus support on evolution. It doesn’t make sense because there was no death before the fall, but yet evolution requires tons of death. It also doesn’t make sense how evolution started from monkeys, but then, at some point those monkeys evolve to the point to having souls? There’s also a lot of issues with how the doctrine of evolution as I understand it today came about.
I’m researching too and it kinda seems like people get scared into thinking they can’t go to heaven unless they have bread and wine in a Catholic Church. Also I looked at the papacy line and it’s not a super clean, unbroken chain. Right?
@@katebee945Out of all things in the Catholic church the Eucharist is the least controversial one even if you follow the principle of Sola scriptura. Jesus couldn't be more clear about the Eucharist.
It's because Jesus taught it, he said unless you eat his flesh and drink his blood you have no life in you John 6:53. You have to remember Jesus fulfilled the Passover Exodus 12:8. They would eat the Lamb. Matthew 26:26-28. He commands us to eat his body and drink his blood. This is why I became Catholic because my non denominational church taught that communion was not special when it clearly is. We get eternal life through Christ body and blood.
“He (Jesus) spoke figuratively so that those who loved the symbols would go no further, and that those who loved what was symbolized would see it” - Blaise Pascal I think this quote sums up the error of orthodoxy. It is not the symbols of Christianity that draw us near to God, it is what is symbolized. ie the death and resurrection of Jesus and the gift of the Holy Spirit.
You can say indulgences were never church doctrine but that doesn't mean the church didn't sell them. You can say there is consistency from the time of Jesus but He never taught to pray to anyone besides the Father. You can claim apostolic succession but the Orthodox Church has just as strong a claim.
But Mary is not the mother of God. That makes her a God. She is not a god. She was a mortal woman chosen to be the mother of Jesus Christ. And what about the Catholic priest Martin Luther who posted the 95 thesis on the door of the church complaining about the corruption in the Catholic Church. And what about baptizing infants? The Bible says repent and be baptized. Infants have no need of repentance for the have not yet sinned.
The Bible says we are sinful from the womb, we are born in sin. Luther brought reform to the catholic church, they took out the antiscriptural things (like stuff about Mary) but for the most part catholics weren't wrong. That's why I'm lutheran. I actually read the Bible
When we honor Mary as Mother of God, we are actually professing our belief that Jesus is truly God. We are not saying that Mary came before God. Rather, the Second Person of the Trinity, who existed from all eternity, "became flesh and made his dwelling among us." (John 1:14). The child foretold by Old Testament prophets, the child whom Elizabeth recognized as Lord, is Jesus Christ, our Lord and our God (John 20:28), and Mary is his Mother.
@gracesavage8945 what's so antiscriptural about Mary , my friend. I get the fact that assumption of the Blessed Mother and Immaculate Conception cannot be found in the Holy Scriptures but they are not antiscriptural.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church gives us the most important reasons why we must baptize infants: Born with a fallen human nature and tainted by original sin, children also have need of the new birth in baptism to be freed from the power of darkness and brought into the realm of the freedom of the children of God, to which all men are called. The sheer gratuitousness of the grace of salvation is particularly manifest in infant baptism. The Church and the parents would deny a child the priceless grace of becoming a child of God were they not to confer baptism shortly after birth (CCC 1250). Original sin is a reality from which each and every human person desperately needs to be freed. Biblically speaking, Romans 5:12 is remarkably clear on this point: Therefore as sin came into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all men sinned. Even if nothing else was said in Scripture implying infant baptism, we could conclude it to be necessary just from this simple fact: babies need to have original sin removed from their souls. But there is more. St. Paul, being a Jew, as well as all of the apostles, understood the idea that true religion is a family affair. A Jew became a Jew when he was circumcised on the eighth day after his birth. They did not have to first “accept Moses as their personal prophet” before they could be circumcised. And according to Paul, baptism is the fulfillment of circumcision: In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of flesh in the circumcision of Christ. . . . You were buried with him in baptism (Col. 2:11-12). The Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition, which I quoted above, has the word “and” placed between “Christ” and “you were buried.” I left it out because it is not in the original Greek text. The Greek indicates that baptism is the circumcision of Christ! This seems trivial to us today. Okay, so baptism is the “circumcision of Christ.” But this was not trivial to first-century Jewish Christians who were being challenged to circumcise their children “after the manner of Moses or else they could not be saved” (see Acts 15:1-2). Many were being persecuted because they chose infant baptism instead of infant circumcision. As Paul says in Romans 2:28: For he is not a real Jew who is one outwardly, nor is true circumcision something external and physical. He is a Jew who is one inwardly, and real circumcision is a matter of the heart, spiritual and not literal. What is this “spiritual circumcision” of which Paul speaks? Baptism, according to Colossians 2:11-12. Not the shedding of foreskin, but the transformation of the inward man through the sacrament. As a fulfillment of that which is only a type, baptism does something circumcision could never do: “baptism now saves” us (1 Pet. 3:21). The change that occurs is not physical; it is spiritual. As it is often said, what you don’t see is what you get in all of the sacraments, baptism included-and infant baptism included, too. Elsewhere in Scripture we find a close association between baptism and circumcision. In Galatians 3:27-28, Paul says: For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Paul’s point is that baptism is more inclusive than its Old Testament antecedent. You had to be a free, male Jew to be circumcised. And when were males generally circumcised in the Old Testament, by the way? At eight days after birth (Gen. 17:12). Paul’s point is that in the New Testament, baptism is open to all. Of course babies would be included. This idea of baptism as the circumcision of Christ, therefore opening up the legitimacy of infant baptism, is at least implied in other biblical texts as well. You’ll recall that on Pentecost, Peter preached to thousands of Jews, who already had an understanding of their faith involving a family covenant, and said, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. . . . For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, everyone whom the Lord calls to him” (Acts 2:38-39). If Peter believed that baptism is exclusive to adults, he was a terrible teacher! The Lord explicitly “called infants” to himself in Luke 18:15-17: Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them; and when the disciple saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” These were not just children who were being brought to Jesus. The Greek word here is brephe, which mean “infants.” And again, the Jews listening would understand that the parent’s belief and obedience suffices for the child until he is old enough to own his faith. The parents bringing children to Christ, according to Christ, is equivalent to the children coming to him on their own. Moreover, because babies are icons of what we all should be-that is, they put up no obstacles to the work of God in their lives, and they can most obviously do absolutely nothing to merit anything from God-infant baptism makes sense, as they are reminders of “the sheer gratuitousness of the grace of salvation” (CCC 1250). From the very beginning, whole “households” received baptism. There is no reason to believe that infants would not have been included (see Acts 11:14; 16:15, 33; 18:8; 1 Cor. 1:16). For brevity’s sake, I will use just one of the five examples cited in that parenthesis. I encourage all reading this to take a look at the other four examples as well. When Paul led the Philippian jailer to Christ in Acts 16, he said to him, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household” (Acts 16:31). He does not say that all in his household must first believe. He simply says they will all be saved. How could he say that? Paul seems to have understood what St. Peter had already preached back when Paul was still persecuting Christians (in Acts 2:38). The promise of faith and baptism is for the jailer and his children.
Jesus said, “He that believes and is baptized shall be saved” in Mark 16:16. Many claim this to mean that faith must precede baptism. And this would seem to exclude infants as possible candidates for baptism. Seems airtight. Can an infant possess faith? No. Therefore, a baby cannot be licitly baptized. Although this argument may sound convincing on the surface, it does not survive serious scrutiny. First, Jesus did not say faith must precede baptism for an individual. He simply said one has to believe and be baptized in order to be saved. He said nothing about the two having to be accomplished in that order for the individual. Moreover, even if we were to accept as fact that faith must come first, even though Mark 16:16 does not say that, this would not exclude the possibility that the faith of the parents suffices until the child reaches the age of accountability. Second, a strict reading of Mark 16:16 has devastating consequences. A baby cannot believe. Does that mean that all babies who die without believing will not be saved? Of course not! The thief on the cross was presumably not baptized. Does that mean he would not go to heaven? Of course not! Belief and baptism are necessary to those who have the opportunity to obtain them. If they were to be impeded from being able to believe or be baptized, and that could be the case for many different reasons, then God would judge them in accordance with what they were responsible for. This last point gets to another reason why infant baptism is so important. Sometimes we are accountable not just for ourselves, but for others as well (see Ezek. 3:18-19). Parents are responsible for baptizing their babies. If they knowingly do not do so, they break God’s covenant in a serious matter. Like the paralytic in Matthew 9:2-6 who was completely dependent upon others to bring him to Christ in order for him to get his sins forgiven (and his physical healing), a baby is completely dependent upon his parents to bring him to Christ. And notice as well that it was the faith of those who brought the paralytic to Christ that God used instrumentally for the paralytic’s salvation: “When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, ‘Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven’” (v. 2). Whose faith did Jesus “see” here? “Their” seems to refer back to the “they” of the same verse: “And behold, they brought to him a paralytic . . .” The faith of the parents suffices when they bring their infant to be blessed by Christ via “the circumcision of Christ.” Paul clearly teaches that circumcision never justified anyone, at least in the sense of the initial gift of justification. “We say that faith was reckoned to Abraham . . . before he was circumcised” (Rom. 4:9-10). So doesn’t this prove that baptism does not save us, either? Three points: First, as I said above, baptism is the fulfillment of that which was only a type in the Old Testament. The fulfillment is always more glorious than the type. Thus, “baptism does now save you” (1 Pet. 3:21) in a way that circumcision could not. Second, it is true that Abraham and David were Paul’s two examples of justifying grace occurring apart from circumcision in Romans 4. And yet, Abraham instituted circumcision by divine mandate, and David was, in fact, circumcised as a little baby. Indeed, God also declared in the Old Testament that “any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant” (Gen. 17:14). It is not a contradiction to say both faith and circumcision were necessary to remain within God’s covenant in the Old Testament, even though circumcision played no role in initial justification. Third, the faith of the parents sufficed when it came to circumcising a child. Do we not see that principle in the New Testament as well? Jesus saw the faith of the friends of the paralytic and healed the paralytic in Matthew 9:2. When people cannot have faith, the faith of family or friends suffices. So it is with infant baptism. The faith of the parents sanctifies the children, as Paul says in 1 Cor. 7:14. This is just as much a New Testament concept as it is an Old Testament concept.
But there sure seems like there's a huge Bullseye on the Holy Catholic Church, and for those who are paying attention , this speaks Volumes. The enemy is running out of time and he's going to be Crushed by a human Woman, Our Queen Mother Mary. Our Momma wears Combat Boots and She knows how to use them. Viva Cristo Rey
The only thing about Catholicism that rubs me wrong is that Mary is worshipped that is a clear cut isolation of a figure that is not God and I don't know why everyone is so keen to say that it's ok
Hello! I am a Catholic here; the Catholic Church does not worship Mary. I believe this is a big misconception that has been separating Catholics and Protestants from being one people. Never in our Mass do we offer sacrifice to Mary. We do honor her above all other humans and creatures because she was chosen by God the Father to be the Mother of Jesus.
When Jesus takes the bread, breaks it, and says "This is my body," why would the disciples think the bread is His body when His actual unbroken body was right there in front of them?
Orthodoxy is very divided. The oriental and eastern have different theology ideals. Catholicism is ONE church, but sadly orthodoxy is split with oriental, eastern. There’s 2 orthodox church’s where I live, one Coptic, another one Greek, and the Coptic one doesn’t approve of the Greek Orthodox one. So yea, orthodoxy is beautiful: but very divided.
Joan of Ark was the last opportunity God gave the Catholic Church to redeem itself and it "hung her from a tree" and the Catholic Church splintered into pieces. Then it killed her reputationally by "sainting" her, because people now regard her as more of a legendary, (ie borderline fictitious), than a historical figure.
And the argument for any faith especially the Catholic Church for me that makes me not believe is they never speak of the Gospel, the Good news. Only the RCC and it’s history.
What's the RCC? Have you ever looked at the Baltimore Catechism? That's what is the beliefs/ teach of the church and scripture is quoted in every lesson. I'm confused why people believe that the Word of God doesn't guide His Church? Is it bc they also have other things (not just the Bible) that guide them you find so off-putting?
@@silkesteinbeck8560just because they quote scripture doesn't make them biblical. Satan quoted scripture to Jesus. The pharisees quoted and held to correct doctrine, but Jesus said about them, "Do what they say, not what they do." If you want to argue the church is biblical, very well. But quoting scripture does not make them biblical.
@@Joshua39-w7j as I said, even if the mass quotes the Bible doesn’t mean it’s biblical. For reference, I grew Catholic, in the Latin Rite, a very traditional part of the Catholic Church.
It's so wrong to be uplifting Mary. It doesn't say anything about that in the bible. We are only to worship Jesus. He said the only way to the father is through him. Not Mary, not the saints. Him.
NO SACRAFICE, NO WORSHIP. The Jews gave their first animal or crops to God as a burnt offering. Catholics have the Eucharist. Aztecs did human sacrafice. Ba'al demands sacrafice too (false idols). Singing and reading a verse or two on Sunday IS NOT WORSHIP. NO SACRAFICE, NO WORSHIP.
@@Overlord277 the sacrifice is over and done, not for you to repeat every week (sunday) as if it was insufficient. It was a once-all sacrifice and your works don't hold it up. By the way, what is "overlord"? The evil one?
@isaachardaway 1 Corinthians 11:24-34 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. Cannibalism and drinking blood are prohibited. Jesus was at a Passover seder, breaking matzah and drinking the four cups of wine. He said as often as we do this, we should remember him. As the Passover Lamb that was sacrificed. Jesus was Jewish and kept the Jewish holidays/feasts. If you want to participate in this as he described, join a seder next Passover! Many Messianic communities online or in person to worship with in truth. God bless.

I honestly would just love to talk to an educated Catholic on the matter. I feel like there is a lot of misinformation spread between denominations, and I want to hear more on Catholicism than these 60 second clips that don’t provide any information.
This just serves to divide us. I very much dislike this. I understand a love for a certain church but what she’s saying I don’t agree with. Churches around here are historians majorly and are very in-depth and atleast in the nondenom churches one consensus in theology that is not confusing. I very much think this isn’t good.
What serves to divide us? The original Church all believers were united under for over 1000 years, or the hundreds of splinter groups that broke off from it? Denominations divide people. Before denominations, there was one Church where all Christians were united under one set of beliefs, and it was the Catholic Church. That's just a historical fact. Now, people do what Paul warned against - "Some say, "I follow Cephas. I follow Paul. I follow Apollo... I follow Luther. I follow Calvin. I follow Darby, or Wesley, etc, etc".
The one that finally got me was talking to my wife about the body and blood of Christ actually being the body and blood of Christ. Not symbolic. And I realized, if I truly believe God is real and God is Almighty, then why couldn't He actually make the bread and wine into His body and blood. And I told her at that moment that I'm coverting to Catholicism
It’s about salvation through faith, not the Eucharist. Inviting Jesus to be Lord of your life, after you accept his gift on the cross. Communion is a solemn remembrance of the gift, it isn’t his actual body and blood. Creepy.
A deep dive into the church history would lead to the division started in the Counsel of Nicea in 325 and the later around 600. Where in Jewish followers of Jesus, 120 Jewish Bishops, were told they can’t be Jewish and follow Jesus. Although Jesus never forfeited His Jewishness. The counsel of Nicea was lead by the growing Catholic denomination. Jesus is our High Priest for which there is no need for a papacy and I find it odd that no Catholic challenges the changing of the 10 commandments either. We aren’t to alter the Word of God. There a lot of Catholic that love Jesus but also a lot of deception that is called “right theology”.
Oh right, the completely unbiblical teaching that Mary was without sin, eternally a virgin and taken up to heaven bodily. They've added to scripture. Born and raised Catholic, but now born again, properly, by my choice and Christ calling me.
Doesn’t deny or retract? 1. Indulgences 2. The earth being flat 3. The earth being the center of the universe 4. The pope accepting gay marriage To name a few. There’s also the Spanish Inquisition. The Catholic Church does so many unnecessary and unsubstantiated additions biblical ideology.
church history. i am not catholic but from my understanding the church holds as much weight as the written Word. the authority of the church is apart of the "full promise" from Christ.
From what I understand they believe scripture, tradition, and the pope/bishops are equal and won't conflict with each other. Many other denominations believe Sola Scriptura which is what I believe, I will never follow what others say blindly and will always compare people's religious teachings to the Bible as supported in Acts 17:11. I will also never choose a denomination as they do nothing but cause Christians to argue and divide when we are all supposed to unite and be The Church.
All this catholic high religion claiming to be some original church is nuts. Jesus was not trying to start another Judaism, a bunch of laws and rituals. That is why the gospel is geared at individuals....whosoever believes and repents....the believers went everywhere preaching the Lord working with them. Romans, whosoever has not the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
Unfortunately there are MANY priests who listen to sins while being in asexual relationships with women…do they REALLY have the authority to forgive you when they are committing serious sin??? Nope
The Catholic Church was indeed the first Church. However the doctrine of the Catholic Church has expanded, which created the other denominations. The Scripture doesn’t mention Mary being sinless or Baptisms being appropriate for unsaved individuals like infants etc. The Eucharist is more debatable in my opinion, it's a matter of interpretation, and I honestly don't know the intentions behind scripture - whether it's literal or figurative. But adding all those things to doctrine that aren't actially in the Bible, is what made people leave the Catholic Chirch and start new denominations. So yes, the Catholic Church was first, but that doesn't make them impervious to sin and manipulation from the devil. They are no better or worse than any other denomination, and should be judged as individuals in their own walks with Christ, just as the rest of us should be.
All that you mentioned is either in the Bible or doesn’t contradict it. That’s not what made people leave the Church. A monk got pissed off at some bishops (honestly, for good reason) in Germany and he wanted to change it. That then turned into, I’d argue, the biggest blow to the body of Christ post schism. The Protestant revolt was not a good thing and not what the monk actually intended. Who the heck mentioned being impervious to sin or manipulation from the devil?? Why do you think the Catholic Church is the most persecuted and hated Church? Do satanists go to your church to steal your symbolic communion to perform black masses, no. They go the Catholic Church to steal a consecrated host to trample on Our Lord. Look it up; you have the internet.
@@carissaexplainsitall8481 the pope is not idolized. And Mary is not worshipped she is venerated. The reason you find it to be worship is because Protestants and evangelicals (I used to be one) only worship god as much as Catholics and orthodox venerate the saints and angels. But Catholics worship God a whole five steps further than Protestants and evangelicals. Praise songs and a sermon does not constitute worship.
Matthew 16 must be understood in light of Matthew 18. “Whatever is loosed and bound” is done based on the foundation of the confession of Peter (rock is feminine, signifying that it is related to the confession, not Peter himself). Matthew 18 shows the importance of the authority of each local congregation and its members to make authoritative decisions for the body and whether to admit or deny other members to its body.
Sorry but it's classical Protestant mistake. It doesn't matter that petra in Greek is feminine. You completely miss the mark. Jesus wasn't speaking to Peter in Greek but in Aramaic. And in Aramaic cephas/rock is masculine. Peter is the rock on which Church is built upon - Jesus is the Head - Peter owns the keys, whatever he and his successors lock is locked in Heaven, whatever they open is opened in Heaven, Peter was commanded specifically by the Lord to feed His sheep. The line of Peter through apostolic succession is the actual rock and through them it's the Roman Catholic Church the one Jesus spoke about.
And you also need to understand the role of the Al Habayit in the kingdom of David. See Eliakem at Isaiah 22:20. This is the office Christ gave the guy he renamed Rock. The keeper of the king’s keys.
The Catholic Church was built of a mixture of Roman paganism, Judaism and some apostolic teaching, after the persecution of the church The Lord had established, this other religion called Catholics surfed later. Bringing all kinds of heresies.
Qué pendejo eres. 😂 Cuál paganismo Romano? Yo no veo a los católicos adorando a Zeus o a Afrodita. Obviamente tenemos elementos Judios, por sentido común. Por supuesto que tenemos enseñanzas apostólicas, cómo no vamos a tener si ellos estuvieron con nuestro Señor. Ah y la iglesia católica nunca ha dejado de ser perseguida. El día de hoy tenemos la mayor infiltración masónica que dicho sea de paso son los que financian a las sectas protestantes y tienen al mundo con el pie en el pescuezo.
I think those who have disagreements on what the Catholic church teaches or if it is a true church, it would be good if they could delve a bit deeper into history and into the writings of early church fathers, who lived during the first few centuries and many of whom were disciples of the apostles themselves and been bishops appointed by them, and see what they have to say about infant baptism, Mary, communion or anything protestants disagree with catholicism and see if they are made up or have been from the begining and that will clear a lot of doubts.
