This Is Why You Should NEVER Pray to Mary and the Saints... 

Easy they interceed for us cuz saint are not dead Saints never die They are living not dead Cuz christ said in John 11:26 as whoever believes in me will not 𝙙𝙞𝙚. Its the word of the lord not mine So see further from that brother & im not a Catholic defending this dogma but They are correct about this according to the scriptures

Show me the Bible verse where Jesus says to pray to Mary, last I checked the only verse tells us to pray to Heavenly Father.

@@WhiteRanger1298 1st you show me a verse that says don't pray to the virgin Merry & i will 100% show you after you show me

@@SPDALL Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Jesus taught to pray to the Father. There is no need to say don't pray to this human or that human. You pray to the one who gives life.

@@WhiteRanger1298 @White Ranger So i cannot pray to Jesus i can only pray only to the father By the way in that verse it doesn't say pray only to the father & the English version looks kinda contradictory with the koine Greek its our language & our book you're playing with but i don't see any word that says only &BTW you also read 2 Corinthian 9:14 😇☦️

you dont know that all the saints went to heaven...

​@@lettersandwordsandstuffsI do, Any Saint recognized by the Eastern Orthodox church is in heaven, this i know.

Are they omnipresent, can they hear everyone’s prayers at the same time?

Nice false translation 👎 Read the context. Those who obey God have life. Those who don’t do not. The Catholic Church is notorious for making up their own doctrines and changing the word of God. They’re proud of changing the sabbath to Sunday but no man can change Gods commandments which is why their true father is Satan .

@@highxquester We can pray for each other

That doesn’t mean pray to them. We are only supposed to pray to God. Our prayers go directly to Him. We don’t need Mary and the saints to intercede for us Jesus and the Holy Spirit intercedes for us to the Father. I have great respect for Mary but she was a human being just like the rest of us. She is not God or a God and should not be worshipped or prayed to. Yes she is alive and well in heaven but isn’t that the case for everyone in heaven? We have direct access to God. He is omnipresent. Our prayers aren’t somewhere on hold until Mary or the saints go deliver them to Him. He hears you the moment you begin to speak to Him. Even when we’re not praying He is still here listening. God bless you. 🫶🏽

@@TriceSmith “To pray” means “to ask.” It does not mean to worship. It’s old English - the language of Shakespeare. “pray tell.” “I pray you to tell me.” For the 1500 years before Protestantism, there was only the Catholic Church, and it believed in the Saints, it believed Mary was the new arc of the covenant, and that she was unique in salvation history. There is archeological evidence of hymns to Mary in the first century A.D. There was also no dispute until 1500 years after Christs death over the Eucharist. The Christianity you’ve been taught is all well and good, it’s just not the Christianity the disciples knew and spread in the ancient world. It would have been something very foreign to them. The Catholic Church may seem weird to Protestants, but it has not changed in 2000 years since it was instituted by Christ.

@@iemiranda5734 Prayer is communication whether we’re asking for something, giving thanks to God or just simply talking to God. Why pray to Mary and the saints when I can talk directly to God? Mary is not God she doesn’t hear our prayers. I go by the Christianity that was written in the Bible. I’m a follower of Jesus Christ I have a relationship with God not Mary and the saints. That’s no disrespect to them. But how about this, we can agree to disagree. You can do what you want but as for me I’m going to continue to pray to my God only. There’s no need for division if you believe that Jesus is our Lord and savior and live by that faith then you are my brother or sister in Christ (sorry idk your gender) and if you’re right then when we get to heaven I will personally admit you were right and I was wrong. I have absolutely no problem admitting my wrongs but until then, God bless you.

@@TriceSmith Worship is reserved for God alone in the Church. However, those who are close to God in I heaven, I talk to. I ask Mary, my patron saints, and guardian angel to pray for me like you might ask a friend to pray for you. It’s the same thing. 300 years before the bible was compiled (by the Catholic Church) there was only sacred tradition. In that tradition we get the saints, the Eucharist, Mary, and so on. The early church fathers, spoke about all of these things. St Polycarp was a follower of John the evangelist and reaffirms the early church’s belief in them. I would encourage you to look into them. The early church fathers give insight into what Christianity looked like a generation away from Christ. Very interesting.

@@iemiranda5734 Worshipping God can happen anywhere it’s not just secluded in a church. But look we have two different beliefs. I’m not asking Mary and the saints to intercede for me. Jesus himself and the Holy Spirit intercedes for me to our Heavenly Father. I don’t need Mary to do that for me. There is nothing that you can say to me to get me to start praying to Mary and the saints, just like there’s nothing I can say to you to get you to understand that you can just talk to God yourself without trying to go through all these people. So the convo is pretty much dead. Yes I agree Mary is a wonderful woman of God, very holy and is alive enjoying heaven but I don’t need her. I only need God. Jesus is the only way to heaven.

Amen!!!!!

We should stay with & obey the word of God. Leviticus 19:31 ‘Do not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.

So you are calling Catholics spiritist when Catholicism was the first denomination of Christianity

@@BlessedUgo2862is that what you are saying

Proper Way to pray in unity as taught by Jesus himself: ‭Matthew 18:18-20 NLT‬ [18] “I tell you the truth, whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven. 👉[19] “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on EARTH 🌎 concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. [20] For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”

@@ic1493 In unity with the entirety of the Body of Christ, which is not limited to those on Earth, but includes those in Heaven as well.

@@GamingxKnight incorrect. Those who die inheret rest after death. Hebrews 4:10-11 NLT‬ [10] For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world. [11] So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall.

@@ic1493 Labors. The labors of this world. We don't labor, feel pain or sorrow, or temptation to sin in Heaven with the Lord. We die a human death but our soul lives on. If those in Heaven are 'dead' as you and Protestantism falsely claims, then you will have to call Jesus a liar, as He said that even if we die, so long as we put our faith in Him, we will live, we will have Eternal Life. Not only that, you'll have to say that God stops being your God after you die as God is not the God of the dead, but the living. So after we die, according to you, God is no longer our God.

@GamingxKnight 💬if the priest could not continue on with their earthly roles neither can anyone else who dies. The role of the priest at the time was to mediate/intercede for the people. But now Jesus is our last High Priest according to the book of Hebrews. 📖‭Hebrews 7:23-25 NLT‬ [23] There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office. [24] But because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever. [25] Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. 👉He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.

Exactly.

You’re twisting the meaning of his words. Yes saints are alive in heaven but they are bodily deceased. That is the meaning of death that he is using in this context. The verse you quoted even says “though he dies”.

I don't think you understand what the "body of Christ" is... The Bible is very clear that people who are dead know nothing. The saints are in fact dead, because they were mere mortal humans. When Christ talks about the body of Christ being alive, He's talking about the spirit of the church, and the resurrections. When the DEAD shall rise again... Nobody who died is alive up in heaven.

In other words you mean Jesus didn't die for our sins Mary did???

@lebomorake-dj9ro nope. Jesus died for our sins. Saints join us and cry out for justice , hold our prayers and witnesses us and join us as Hebrews and revelation states. Lot of protestants like to skip difficult verses. Remember where do prayers go? Who owns them? What does the Bible say? All prayers are owned by saints put in a bowl. Lifted up by angels and given to God. You can't subtract that because you don't like it. Oh it is metaphor. Okay why can't you say all of the Bible is. Etc I take it literally.

@@sonicrocks2007 You mean like Catholics skipping over verses like 1 Timothy 4:1-5, Galatians 4:10-11, Titus 1:9, 1 Corinthians 4:6 and Hebrews 10:10?

@kevinkane9446 1 Timothy 4 is talking about gnostics who banned all marriage for every body. Catholicism allows people to be married and even priests in some circumstances. Remember who caused that. The protestants. The protestants pushed against the catholic church in 1100s to stop priests from marrying. The protoprotestants were the cause of that. And it isn't ban for all people Galatians 4:10 is about pagans slipping back into pagan holidays. Kinda really unrelated to catholicism. Titus 1:10 refers to protestants. 1 Corinthians is about boosting that you do more than what is required this goes to protestants who ban coffee, rock and roll , and dancing and boast about it. Hebrews 10:10 is about being holy, holy and fully sanctified are different. The Israelite people despite worshiping baal are holy. They are not sanctified. Holiness and completion of sanctification are different.

@sonicrocks2007 1 Timothy 4 would still apply today. When the Catholic church comes along and says you must fast on all Fridays of lent and ash Wednesday (Can.1249-53) this would be considered a doctrine of demons. There is nothing wrong with choosing to fast but to make it a requirement is against scripture. I don't typically use the NLT translation, but it's fitting in this case as this translation describes catholics perfectly. There's no denying catholics attempt to earn favor and grace with God through these ridiculous rituals like lent, fasting, repetitive prayers, and acts of penance. Galatians 4:10-11 You are trying to earn favor with God by observing certain days or months or seasons or years. 11 I fear for you. Perhaps all my hard work with you was for nothing. Titus 1:9 refers to teaching sound doctrine and confuting those who oppose it, so if Catholics were truly following the Word of God pope francis would have been removed from his position long ago. 1 Corinthians 4:6 says not to go beyond what is written so when catholics teach things like these Marian dogmas, lent, repetitive prayers and doing acts of penance as a part of receiving God's forgiveness it would fall under that category. Hebrews 10:10 is clear that we are sanctified once for ALL we do not need to go to a confession box and tell another sinful man everything we've done wrong week after week and then repeat a bunch of prayers and do acts of penance as a part of receiving God's forgiveness.

Amen!

All Christians who are alive, saved, and sanctified (set apart, made holy by God) are called saints in the New Testament. Jesus taught us to pray directly to God the Father in the Lord's prayer, and then commissioned us to pray in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as he ascended to Heaven. No where does the Bible tell us to pray to people who have died. It's an insult to God to pray to a messenger to deliver your words when God is right in front of you.

@@mei.mei1 So you never ask family, friends, the church to pray for you?

@@Ellen-vc7xn they're breathing and alive, so yes I can ask family and friends to pray with me and for me. I don't perform necromancy by talking to the dead. Necromancy is also called spiritism, divination, and sorcery in the Bible and is forbidden many times in Scripture (Leviticus 19:26; Deuteronomy 18:10; Galatians 5:19-20; Acts 19:19) and is an an abomination to God. Jesus is the only one who can intercede on our behalf, as is written throughout the Bible in the Old and New Testament. Those who are dedicated to the teachings of Christ are called saints (Matt 27:52 ; Acts 9:13 ; 26:10 ; Rev 14:12 ). Six of Paul's letters to churches are addressed to saints, aka Christ followers who have been sanctified/made holy by God (Romans, 1-2 Corinthians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians). Saints, in the New Testament, are never deceased individuals who have been canonized by the church and given sainthood. They are living individuals who have dedicated themselves to the worship and service of the one true God as revealed through his Son, Jesus Christ. Which means we are ALL called to be saints for the Kingdom of God. Even the children of such parents are called "sanctified" ( 1 Cor 7:14-15 ). That is, they are considered undefiled by paganism if at least one of their parents is a Christian.

@@Ellen-vc7xn See Romans 1:7, Romans 8:27, 1 Corinth 1:2, 2 Corinth 1:1, Colossians 1:2, Ephesians 1:1, Ephesians 5:3, Philippians 1:1, Jude 1:3. These were written to the early Christians as instructions for Christ followers, aka all of us. We are ALL called to be saints, that's why God calls us to be holy because He is holy (Leviticus 19:2), and to be salt and light of the world (Matt 5:13-16). What use would God have for people to become saints/Holy/light and salt in the world AFTER they've died? We're made holy through Jesus Christ's death and resurrection even while we're alive so that we can be the arms and legs to do Kingdom works as we were commissioned by Jesus to do.

Noooo.. God defines the queen of heaven as a demon that the Israelites worshipped and he hated that sprit. Your church doesn’t define things, God does. Be very very carefully calling upon the demon by that name.

Please read what God says about that demon in the Old Testament and for the love of everything NEVER call Jesus’ precious mother such repulsive names.

@@elizabethburns1449 you're partially right, but you're mistaken in believing that just because something shares the same title as something else they are the same. The queen of heaven you're referring to, was a title of a god worshiped by the caaninites, which has nothing to do with Mary, the Mother of our Lord. It would be like saying because the Babylonians had a trinitarian god the Christian Trinity is the same thing. For one no Christian worships Mary, the Queen of heaven, as God. It is a title given to her because Jesus is the King of heaven from the davidic line, in which the mother, not the wife, is queen, or gebirah. If Jesus is truly a king from the line of David then that leaves only one option of who is queen, that being the holy Theotokos, Mary. The imagery St.John the Theologian uses in the book of Apocalypse further solidifies this, in which he sees the mother of Christ clothed in the sun with the moon at her feet wearing a crown of 12 stars. And just like the gebirah of the past, Mary brings all petitions to her Son, there is no better intercessor.

also, an intercessor is not the same as a mediator. The Blessed Mother and the saints would not accept being worshipped. We believe in the Immaculate Conception. the Lord is pleased when we recite the Rosary and ask His blessed saints to intercede on our behalf. anyone who continues to respond against this, i am not engaging further in any argument. stop comparing this to people who use Ouija boards. You're offending not just Roman Catholics but God in heaven too.

Yeah you're right

Blasphemy. Don't ever compare anyone to Jesus

Well, no, Jesus was resurrected from the dead and Mary was not. So there’s that.

That was AWESOME!! and Mary is the arch of Christ!! I love that truth so much. So POWERFUL THank you💖🕊🙏🌈💖

He is not mistaken as Jesus was the only one granted the role of intercessor as taught in the book of Hebrews. He earned his rights by experiencing death yet defeating it by his resurrection and ascending to his throne. 📖❤ ‭‭Hebrews 7:23-25 NLT‬‬ [23] There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office. [24] But because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever. [25] Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. 👉He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf. Just as the priest of the old covenant had physical limitations after death. Mary and the Apostles also have human limitations. Only Jesus was given rights by his sacrifice.

Your mistake is talking to the dead, nowhere do we find that Mary rose from the dead. Even her genealogy is obscure because you must not follow her light.

Amen! Amen!

Hear! Hear! And the souls in purgatory are powerful intercessors. Praying and having Holy Masses said for their entry into Heaven brings about silent miracles in our lives. God bless

I apologize if my words bring you sorrow. *Matthew 16:18* is used by the Catholic Church to support their pontification theory, but I find no scripture that show Peter as superior to the others. - Eamon Duffy, an Irish historian, said, “There is, therefore, nothing directly approaching a papal theory in the pages of the New Testament,” and “from all indications, there was no single bishop of Rome for almost a century after the deaths of the apostles”. The Catholic National, a Catholic organ published this quote in July 1895. - Eamon Duffy was a Catholic Historian and he basically refutes that *Matthew 16:18* alludes to or supports papal authority. He said it without any confusion that the scriptures do not support the papacy. Therefore Peter was not singled out. When Christ said, “upon this Rock, I build my church”…. to say that he was forming a papacy through a lineage of Peter is speculation. - If that were true, there would be other scriptures to cross-reference the theory of Pontification.

In fact, no man is infallible, but Peter was far less than infallible when he showed himself to be partial to the Gentiles. *Galatians 2:11-13.*.

Sin separated us from God Jesus paid the price and now we can come confidently before God our Father by the complete cleansing of our sins through Jesus. ‭‭Hebrews 4:1 NLT‬‬ [1] God’s promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought to tremble with fear that some of you might fail to experience it.

As for the others, God said, “In my anger I took an oath: ‘They will never enter my place of rest,’” even though this rest has been ready since he made the world. [10] For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world. [11] So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall.[15] This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin.

​@@LeonTheLion-777 What Resurrection? Jesus already Resurrected. And are you forgetting John 3:16? How can people who will not die but have everlasting life be dead?? You make no sense.

Only Jesus is able to intercede as only he is alive Physically speaking. Since he experienced death but defeated it by his death and resurrection. 📖❤ ‭‭Hebrews 7:23-25 NLT‬‬ [23] There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office. [24] But because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever.

@@THE-WAY_THE-TRUTH_THE-LIFE. Please study the Bible. If Catholics would only study, the Catholic Church wouldn’t exist. If anyone tells you that the church is built on the foundation of a human, a man, Peter. The same Peter who was checked by Paul for treating the Gentiles differently in account on fear of criticism. If Peter was a pope, Paul would have must need to see Peter after losing his sight, not Ananias. Please study your Bible. Eamon Duffy, an Irish historian, said, “There is, therefore, nothing directly approaching a papal theory in the pages of the New Testament,” and “from all indications, there was no single bishop of Rome for almost a century after the deaths of the apostles”. The Catholic National, a Catholic organ published this quote in July 1895. - Eamon Duffy was a Catholic Historian and he basically refutes that *Matthew 16:18* alludes to or supports papal authority. He said it without any confusion that the scriptures do not support the papacy. Therefore Peter was not singled out. When Christ said, “upon this Rock, I build my church”…. to say that he was forming a papacy through a lineage of Peter is speculation.

Spiritually alive yes, but Physically they are dead. Only Jesus is alive both Spiritually and Physically as he experienced death and defeated it by his resurrection and ascending to his throne. 📖❤ ‭‭Hebrews 7:23-25 NLT‬‬ [23] There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office.

Jesus earned his rights by his sacrifice. Mary and the Apostles inherited what anyone who believes in the message of Jesus will, rest from our labors. ‭‭Hebrews 4:10-11 NLT‬‬ [10] For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world. [11] So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall. So don't spread false teaching by handing out roles that belong to Jesus alone. He earned his role of intercessor.

@@ic1493 Only Jesus is alive both Spiritually and Physically? Have you read 2King2 and Mat 17:3?

You do as pagan do and worship the Queen. What about Mary’s other children? You hold Mary up on a pedestal and forget she was a mother who had other children. Even Mary’s genealogy remains obscure to show she was no light to follow. And as for the dead they are asleep awaiting the resurrection at the end of the world.

@@johndavid3474 There is no other children. Read The Genealogy of Jesus in Mat 1:1-17. Jesus is the King of Davidic Kingdom, Mary is the Queen Mother (Luke 1:32-33, Rev 11:19, Rev 12:1); they are alive in heaven.

1 Samuel 28: 5-15. Saul has a medium contact the spirit of Samuel. Samuel was a man of God, a prophet and has been in the temple of the Lord since childhood, a saint if you will.

Therefore pray to Jesus.

@@maryleneellis7069 And who are you to interpret the Bible? The Bible maybe infallible but you and I or not, Ieave interpretation up to the Church and the Saints chosen by God. According to many Church Fathers this spirit was in fact NOT Samuel but a demon. Samuel consulted with medium/spiritist which was outlawed in Israel, both by him and the Old Testament. Evidence for this is found in Leviticus 20:6 6 “I will set my face against anyone who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute themselves by following them, and I will cut them off from their people.”, Leviticus 20:27 “‘A man or woman who is a medium or spiritist among you must be put to death. You are to stone them; their blood will be on their own heads.’”, and Deuteronomy 18:10-12 “10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, *or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead.* 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you.” In consulting with a medium/spiritist God turned his face away from Saul and so he was subject to demonic trickery, know that demons are capable of taking the appearance of angels and Saints. This is not the Saint Samuel, this a demon.

⁠@@maryleneellis7069praying to Saints or Mary is asking them to pray to Jesus, so it is still Jesus who intercedes at the end of the day. We don’t ask Mary to skip over Jesus and go to GOD herself.

@@ScientificBeatz But, It is not Biblical to pray to saints. Whether they are died or alive, saints are people, like you and me. We are not supposed to pray to people. We are supposed to pray to God. Prayer is communication with God. God has made even easier for us to to communicate to Him by sending Jesus. Those who accept Jesus, then recieve the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is quite literally the Spirit of God. He is God, and therefore more closer to God than any saint. And guess what? He gave you that Spirit. That Spirit lives in you. Why can't catholics just pray to that Spirit, to Jesus directly? You have direct contact with him through the Holy Spirit. Why are you so adamant on praying to people? The Spirit of the Lord lives in you. The Holy Spirit is our helper and intercede for us (Romans 8 26:27)

@@maryleneellis7069Catholics do pray to Jesus. Prayers to Mary are done in memory of the great mysteries. Mary’s role as a maternal figure is in celebration of Christ’s mediation. Same pretty much goes for the Saints, intercession is a normal thing people do-and in Catholic tradition, Mary and the Saints are alive in Heaven and can pray for others-people don’t pray to them for mediation. I’m not even Catholic, but I know this is merely the result of a different interpretation lol

Well, there’s 2 stances to this 1) she was assumed into heaven right before she died 2) she died and her body went into heaven on the third day like how Jesus resurrected. Either way though, you’re correct because she’s alive now

@@maryleneellis7069 There are a few problems with your argument. FIrst, do we know that Samuel was in Heaven? After all, this was before the sacrifice of Christ for all sins. Catholics only petition prayers of people in heaven, or in perfect communion with God. Second, your summary is a little misleading. It's not just "Why are you bothering ME." Samuel goes on to say "Why do you consult me now that the Lord has departed from you and become your enemy." He goes on to say that God wills him to die the next day. Perhaps this is an indication that any petitions by Samuel will not find favor with God, and the words you cite are only indication that he is wasting Samuel's time as The Lord has decided. Saul is too late. AND FINALLY, Saul used a medium or witch to connect with the other side. Catholics do not this.

Yes, Mary died and she is not in heaven. She is asleep in the grave right now until Jesus picks her up.

Traditions that are put above the written word of God. Many of us started in the Catholic church and know this first hand. 99% of catholics have never read the bible, do not read the Bible regularly or truly study scripture. They only rely on what the church teaches about their traditions. Many "protestants" and denominational churches are guilty of the same thing. At the end of the day it's not about religion and traditions. It's about having a real relationship with Jesus Christ and truly being born again through Christ. It's about God truly changing your heart and soul from the inside. Circumcision of the heart.

​ Bro, we literally EAT God once a week. Get outta here with that personal relationship Protestant garbage. Furthermore, the Bible was compiled in the year 382 at the Council of Rome. THE CHURCH was alive and kicking before then. 2 Thessolonians 3:6 baby. Keep away from believers living in idleness, and not according to the tradition that they received from us. Check out the Bible in a Year and also the Catechism in a Year, as you seem to know nothing firsthand.

Good for you. Free yourself from Catholic slavery.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@asto5767you do know Paul asks for other to intercede(pray for him) 6 times in the Bible. (Rom 15:30-32, Eph6:18-20,Col4:3,1 thess 5:25, 2thes 3:1). So if ‘asking others besides Jesus to pray for you’ is considered a moral good in the Bible, how is it evil to ‘ask others besides Jesus to pray for you’. Of course that’s not a bad thing, the video itself admits we should intercede. The question then is, is it spiritualism to ask a Saint to intercede for you. Let’s just ignore the fact spiritualism is condemned by the Catholic and Orthodox church’s, by threat of excommunication. Let’s simple ask, does it fit the definition: Spiritualism believes you can have a two way conversation with the dead. And you’ve already hit a snag. John 11:25 “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die”. Wait so the saints in heaven are alive, even though they died? Yup. But wait you may ask, wasn’t the videos whole problem that you shouldn’t talk to the dead, but through Jesus saints aren’t dead. Yah, you can’t have spiritualism with alive people. Now in rev 5:8 it states “When he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty four elders fell down before the lamb, each holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS”. Now the Protestants changes the word “saint” to “God’s people” in their bibles. So let’s go to the Greek to settle this. The Greek word used is “hagiōn” which means “holy ones” and is more accurately translated to saint. This is because the word is only given to people who were saved by Jesus Christ, aka a saint.

@@baumholderh8425 1: Asking others as in those who are physically on this earth, not people that are sleeping in Christ. 2: read 1st samuel 28:5-15. You'll see that you shouldn't be asking for intervention/intercession from those that have passed away. 3: This is just your first argument but again, this is clearly meant for those that are among us on this earth. Christ is the way, truth and life; you don't ask a saint to get you to Jesus' extension number and then you can contact him. It's a 1:1 connection to God, and you don't need saints. 4: Just because they pray for you in heaven doesn't mean you need to ask THEM for prayers. This mentality is very greco-roman pagan tier and it comes from a lack of wisdom 5: The prayers of the saints are exactly that. The prayers of the saints. They are not the requests of people on earth lol. Stop overcomplicating your own faith in Christ for no reason. Ask GOD for the things you want, not a Saint. Philosophically speaking, you're asking the wrong question when you say "what's so bad about praying to saints?" But the real question is "why should you request prayers from saints when you could speak with the Lord?" He knows our hearts, the saints do not. 6: Yeah and even when Cornellius bowed to Peter, Peter corrected him and told him that only God is worthy of being bowed. But here today we see people bowing before icons of saints under the guise of "Veneration". Stop coping and quit doing mental gymnastics for your idolatry. It is diluting your faith in Jesus Christ.

Yes, that's the kind of testimony people need to hear, cause then they'll hopefully get it. I am Eastern Orthodox, a convert from protestantism. I started my journey partly because I read some really ignorant articles that some Reformed people had written. One of these narrow-minded articles is called 'When you are more blessed than the Virgin Mary' It is still online, google it. Even to my heavily Protestant ears that I had back then it was just foul and evil, draw really stupid unbiblical unwarranted conclusions. I though to myself, are these people really contemplating things properly? They do not understand things cohesively and try insolently to create tensions and divisions which are not there in the first place. They do not understand the RCC not the Eastern Orthodox. I am into becoming RCC, no problems with our theology in Eastern Orthodox church but we are not really united in faith and practice. We have massive problems and no practical way to solve these issue because we have no visible head. Love to hear such wonderful testimonies as the one you told us about. God bless you my dear.

Very blessed ❤

I have question. What if it's not from God. Satan can appear as an angel of light right. My great grandfather saw Mary. But it seems that many catholic call Mary a queen of heaven and that's so wrong, she is not God. Jesus told us to pray to the Father.

​@@pativens6979the Devil cannot even look at Mary without shitting his pants. How do you expect him to transform into her? The Holy Virgin Mary is honored even by Jesus himself. Jesus, crowned her as "Queen of All Saints" and not heaven. She's the Queen of all Saints. That's correction. Furthermore, back to the "devil as mary" thingy, Mary is the one prophesized to battle the devil, where she'll step on his head and he'll bite her ankles (it's in the bible) and proven and tested for hundreds if not thousands of years by multiple exorcism throughout history that demons are scared of the Virgin Mary (that's why the holy rosary is considered an exorcism prayer).

1 Samuel 28: 5-15. Saul has a medium contact the spirit of Samuel. Samuel was a man of God, a prophet and has been in the temple of the Lord since childhood, a saint if you will.

@@maryleneellis7069 Saul is not a good example brother he turned his back on the Lord and the kingdom was taken from him. Go to revelations 12 and read about the woman standing on the moon clothed with the sun and a crown 👑 of twelve stars. Mother Mary is no ordinary Saint she is the queen of Heaven. Her intercession is encouraged in scripture and there are many miracles on earth that speak of her importance. The Virgin de Guadalupe. The Virgin de Las Lajas in Columbia. Supernatural miracles that defy science and the laws of nature. And the people that saw her said she claimed to be the Ever Virgin Mother Mary. Also when Jesus was on the mount of transfiguration he was seen talking to and praying with Moses and Elijah. Jesus showed us that there are Saints in heaven who knows what goes on and if Jesus himself talked and prayed with the Saints what does that tell you about intercession prayer. A prayer is asking only Jesus is worshiped. Catholics worship through the Holy sacrament of the Eucharist in mass. Taking the blood and body of Jesus in Holy Communion. And lastly in the story of the beggar Lazarus Jesus showed us that Father Abraham is alive and well in heaven and he has full knowledge of things and of people that came after him. So if you believe that people who truly love and follow Christ are dead then you do not understand the power of God. He has placed eternity in the hearts of men. And he has shown us many times in the bible that we will live with him Forever. You can definitely only talk to Jesus if you want. But Jesus set up his church to include all his people in worshiping him. Paul himself said to confess your sins to one another and pray and intercede to God with one another. If you ever actually pay attention to the Rosary and all the prayers that are said they are all directed to Jesus Christ. For some reason he loves his mother greatly and has given her honor by allowing the rosary to be a thing of petition and it draws many closer to God. The rosary was revealed to us it is not something men came up with it is from God. Do your research brother.

​@maryleneellis7069 Jesus doesn't intercede for us, he is God. Our Brothers and sisters in heaven pray for us and work to obtain for us our Petitions as does Praying to Our Lord. But all things come from Our God, regardless of how they are obtained.

@@maryleneellis7069sorry but no, that's not Biblical at all. When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” John 20:20-23 Jesus loves you!

@@SonOfThineHandmaid it is Biblical. Jesus did on the cross for the sins of the world. He is the only one who has the power to forgive sins.

@@maryleneellis7069 "Only Jesus can intercede for you." This too is false and completely unbiblical. Saint Paul is very clear when he tells believers to intercede on behalf of all men. The passage about Samuel in the Old Testament occurred before Christ's resurrection opened the gates of heaven to men. Now, the departed Christians are in heaven and are therefore more alive in Christ than we who are still in this vale of tears. Their intercession is powerful. If you think the intercession of the saints contradicts the book of Samuel, you would benefit from studying the Christian faith more closely. 1) Did you notice Saul was not asking for Samuel's intercessory prayer? He was rather trying to SUMMON his spirit. This is called necromancy, and is a sin. 2) Asking the glorified body of Christ in heaven to intercede for us by their prayers to God is not necromancy. You would benefit greatly from studying what is and is not necromancy. 3) Can you please explain to me how you think your belief that "only Jesus can forgive sins" does not contradict John 20:20-23? I notice you completely ignored that verse when I presented it to you. Is there a reason for that? 4) Can you please explain to me how you think your belief that "only Jesus can intercede for us" does not contradict 1 Timothy 2:1? "But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to a judge who is God of all, and to THE SPIRITS OF JUST MEN MADE PERFECT, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks more graciously than the blood of Abel." Hebrews 12:22-24 Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

You mean Jesus right? Only Jesus Can forgive you of sin

Proper Way Jesus asks us to pray in unity. ‭Matthew 18:18-20 NLT‬ [18] “I tell you the truth, whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven. 👉[19] “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on EARTH 🌎 concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. [20] For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”

@@carljoseph6185 but why? Why pray to any other spirit then God?

​@@mattfx324 it's not praying TO anyone else but God. It is asking Mary and the saints to pray FOR us.

An answered prayer is a blessing and the bible clearly says that ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS are through Jesus. So you are trying to say that mother Mary hears your prayer, passes it to God the father, then God answers the prayer because of Marys role as the mother of Jesus?? Jesus is the way to the one and only true God because he is the Word of God manifested in the flesh and is therefore one with God. Earthly human "being" is through the womb of a woman! Mary, chosen of God and qualified by God to be the Mother of Jesus, being a virgin and her bloodline! Gods ears are open to the righteous through Christ alone (New Testament) and by Gods Word (Old Testament) and Christ being the Word who was in the beginning with God! Mother Mary, the Apostles and followers of Christ who witnessed his death and ressurection, were in the upper room and received the Holy Spirit and so in their physical death, "are sleeping" till the rupture like those that "die in Christ." I believe its necromancy that is practised in sects that call upon (conjure by name) "those that died" in Christ and cultural "ancestors". Mary and the disciples died post Christs death and the release of the Holy Spirit which they received whilst praying in the Upper Room!

You do, His name is Jesus Christ.

@@kennykp86 you’re missing the point I’m making. If they are dead they didn’t receive ETERNAL life from Jesus Christ. If his own mother and disciples didn’t receive that promise, what hope is there for the rest of us who never saw Him, touched Him, conversed with Him, and can only read what a select few of them even wrote down about Him? He is the God of the Living. Those who put their trust in Him shall not perish. But if those who lived so close to Him did, there is little hope I can receive that gift. I am far worse than the fishermen He chose, far less Holy, if they aren’t alive in Him I will never be.

False Gospel as Scripture says the Holy Spirit brings us closer to Jesus and God. The Holy Spirt is the only person Jesus sent to earth as to guide us to all Truth and Jesus is the Truth. And since the Holy Spirit helps us pray and leads us towards Jesus and God, we cannot make ourselves to be god and hand out roles God did not give. Jesus is our Last High Preist who mediates between Heaven and Earth and the Holy Spirit guides us as he is the Help Jesus sent us. Anything added to this is False Gospel.

📖‭Hebrews 7:23-25 NLT‬ [23] There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office. [24] But because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever. [25] Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf. 💬And if a priest cannot remain in his earthly role as death prevents them, neither can any other person.

⁠@@ic1493 You missed the OP saying “human”, she didn’t exclude God the Holy Spirit. Btw thanks for that doctrinal lesson which you Protestants took from the Catholic Church.

@@ic1493 “Hebrews 12:1 We are surrounded by a cloud of WITNESSES.” The dead in Christ are alive, not dead.

If the role of a Priest cannot continue after physical death it is impossible. Plus the only one who inherited the role of intercessor/mediator is Jesus and he sent the Holy Spirit as to not leave us orphans. We cannot make ourselves to be god and give out roles God did not give. All who are saved only inherit rest after death.

Verse to back up what I say: ‭Hebrews 7:23-25 NLT‬ [23] There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office. [24] But because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever. [25] Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf. ‭Hebrews 4:10-11 NLT‬ [10] For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world. [11] So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall.

To add. Jesus gave us the correct way to Pray in unity. And notice who specific he is: ‭Matthew 18:18-20 NLT‬ [18] “I tell you the truth, whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven. 👉[19] “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on EARTH 🌎 concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. [20] For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”

Welcome and thanks for be open to follow Jesús through the real and only way. God bless you ❤

@@ic1493Scripture says you have but ONE father. I take it you called your dad your father so you’re a sinner.

Exactly all we're doing is asking for her to talk to Jesus Christ, it's like asking a friend to pray for you that's it. Asking Saint to pray for you it's because they're much closer to Jesus Christ so they'll ask Jesus. It's like if you're sick you can't get hold of the doctor itself but you get hold of their mother or best friend so they can talk to the doctor.

why dont you just pray to Jesus

@@landsknecht8654why can’t you just follow what the Bible says? For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,

@@Blablablue "Let my servant Job pray for you because I will accept his [prayer], Let's I make a terror on you." (Job 42:8) There are also other passages as well. However, to understand the Bible, you must be a good student of history, too. Christmas have been doing this for about 2000 years. Also, you are NOT bypassing God/Jesus Christ you are simply asking others to pray for you IE saints in this case.

@@GRACE4LYFE You can and should, but it is also good to give reverence to your spiritual ancestors. There is a Catholic and Orthodox present that both talk about that in RU-vid shorts they show the passages in the. Bible that says it is good to do that.

They're alive in Church as well! Because the Church is the Kingdom of God but on earth!!!!!! So they're still a part of the Church, and they will be forever!

The world- the Roman Church in particular is suffering Amos 8:11. Scripture says… Imitate Christ Walk LIKE him Put on his armor Be renewed Learn from him Become a new creation Do what he commands us Be perfect and complete like his father No where does he say we become Gods. Scripturally Mary is a footnote. Historically the fathers spoke against such secondary reverence. Origin- "If indeed the saints who are outside the body and are with Christ do and work anything in our behalf after the manner of the angels, who perform services for our salvation, let this also be considered among the secret things of God, not to be committed to paper. We offer humble prayers to God Himself, who is over all, through His only begotten Son, to whom we make supplication inasmuch as He is the Propitiation for our sins, in order that He, as our High Priest, may offer our prayers to God" Polycarp- "We worship Christ as the Son of God; the martyrs, however, we love as disciples and imitators of the Lord, as is right, on account of their unsurpassable benevolence toward their King and Teacher; and we wish to become their companions and disciples." Yet here Rome continues in contextual error ignoring the word of God for its 4th party inferred gnostic tradition. MARY- "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my SAVIOR, Who needs a Savior? The sinless??? Nope. Jesus came for the sinful, not the righteous. If Mary was without sin then she is not in heaven. Luke 11:27-28 ESV As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!" [28] But he said, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!" If scripture is deficient from the professed believer then the professed believer is either a false believer or deceived. Susceptible without the armor of God to manipulation by the words of men.

My faith is in God's word. The Bible clearly describes death as a sleep, a sleep that we will be awoken from when Jesus comes again to take us with Him to the place He is preparing for us. **Verses describing death as a sleep: John 11:11-14 11These things He said, and after that He said to them, “Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.” 12Then His disciples said, “Lord, if he sleeps he will get well.” 13However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep. 14Then Jesus said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead. Ecclesiastes 9:6 6Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished; Nevermore will they have a share In anything done under the sun. Acts 2:29 29“Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Acts 2:34 34“For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Psalm 115:17 17The dead do not praise the Lord, Nor any who go down into silence. Psalm 13:3 3Consider and hear me, O Lord my God; Enlighten my eyes, Lest I sleep the sleep of death; Psalm 90:5 5You carry them away like a flood; They are like a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up: Matthew 9:24 24He said to them, “Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him. Acts 7:60 60Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep. Acts 13:36 36“For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption; 1 Corinthians 11:30 30For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. 1 Corinthians 15:6 6After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. 1 Corinthians 15:18 18Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 1 Corinthians 15:20 20But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 2 Peter 3:4 4and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” **Verses showing that we sleep until the resurrection at the second coming Daniel 12:2 2And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 15For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. John 5:28-29 28Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29and come forth-those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. John 6:40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” Luke 14:14 And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.” John 6:44 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. Matthew 16:27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. Acts 24:15 I have hope in God, which they themselves also accept, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust. Isaiah 26:19 Your dead shall live;
Together with my dead body they shall arise.
Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust;
For your dew is like the dew of herbs,
And the earth shall cast out the dead. 2 Corinthians 4:14 knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. Matthew 13:37-43 37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. 40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear! John 14:1-3 1“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

Great response, but you’re talking to people that don’t read the Bible. They have to ask their priest and will get the same answer

@@LeonTheLion-777 Maybe they will start reading it now.

PROOF HOW CATHOLICS LACKS COMMON SENSE! They claim that saints are not prayed to ; that they would intercede for you; AS IF YOUR SAINTS ARE GENUINE!!! Here are my evidence to my claims: 1. An example of your MANY prayers ADDRESSED TO SAINTS , in this example was to MARY. It says, " our powerful virgin of Lourdes, full of affliction with in tears on our eyes, we fly unto thee, Comforter of the Afflicted and the Sick. Placing thee all our confidence, cognizant..."(from Prayer for the Sick, Our Lady of Lourdes) 2. Holy souls would NEVER pray intercessions for you. They wanted REVENGE (When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and AVENGE OUR BLOOD?” 3. your saints are selected and presented by humans. In the process of claiming that a person is a 'holy" , you'll need to judge, AND GOD IS THE ONLY JUDGE. Not your pope, your priests, nor your archbishops. You have no abilty, power nor authority to judge. THAT MAKES YOUR SAINTS FAKE!!!

Yes Mary is dead. And Christians don't pray those dead Biblical heroines. Only to living people and the living Christ.

​@@jacobtennyson9213 Jacob, how can you read Sacred Scripture and claim Mary (and/or the Saints) is dead? If Jesus is the "way, the truth, and the LIFE" and she was His Mother, giving Him human life and living "full of grace", how can she now be dead? Death is the separation of the body and the soul. Spiritual life is in the soul. That NEVER dies! Having had a few NDEs in my 74 years, I can say that looking back on a body from another dimension is very revealing. I was very much aware and "alive". In fact, everything about me was more real than "real". If you ever experienced this you would not say Mary or the Saints are "dead"! The only DEAD are lost souls. The hardest part of death is the dying. Damned souls undergo "eternal death" which means they are forever dying. That is really being "dead". There is no life for the damned, because God is LIFE. Yet the souls of the damned will last forever - dead souls - undergoing torment where the"worm never dies". Without God these souls are DEAD, but still existing - forever! Mary and the Saints are NOT AMONG THOSE! If Jesus is life and they died in Christ Jesus, they are alive as He Himself is alive. They have passed "from death to life". Is there any difficulty in understanding this? Mary is NOT DEAD!

By saying 'saints' you'll be judging if a person was worthy to be called 'holy'. The problem of Catholic 'Saints' are: THEY(CATHOLIC HIGHERUPS) ARE THE ONE WHO JUDGES and PRESENTS it to the public. that's why it CONTRADICTS bible. "For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is he who will save us." Popes, priests and archbishops ARE NOT GOD thats why they have no power,abilty, and authority to claim that someone is 'holy' That's makes Catholic saints are FAKE!!!

@@lizCon3304they are given tests to see if miracles happen when you pray to the saints. If certain miracles happen then they are canonized. It certainly isn’t done by randomness but I do agree that it is kinda contradicted

@@FreakinFatFrijoles some people always based their faith on tangible things. Thats why they seek miracles. Isn't it ironic that when God performs miracles through people, you (catholic church) IDOLIZED the persons and NOT God, himself?

Amen and Thank you! I'm a cradle Catholic but for a while I was genuinely decided by the protestant faith. Those were the worst 3 years of my life so far. I was always so confused on where i thought God was leading me, and I felt so scared and guilty all the time, it felt like God was trying to play a game of Gotcha with me, i spent pretty much every day begging God do spare my life and not to leave me behind, everything I did was wrong in at least one 'prophet's eyes. It was such a viscious cycle of false urgency and relentless guilt tripping, i'm still recovering from some things. I'm so glad that I've decided to hang on to the truth. I hope I'll be able to educate myself even further as the time goes on.

Incorrect statement. Read the book of Hebrews. It explains how Jesus experienced death then defeated it by his resurrection to obtain his role to mediate and intercede. It is rights he gained by his sacrifice. The only promise we hold is to inheret peace and rest after death. Mary and the Apostles are all resting from their labors and at peace as God promised.

@@jacobtennyson9213 How about Moses and Elijah?

Protestants did not "remove 7 books", they merely kept the Bible in alignment with the Jewish Bible. The Protestant's Old Testament is the same as the Jewish OT, in part because Paul states in Romans 3:2, “the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God”. But there's another reason. The Roman Catholic Church are the ones who added the 7 books called the Apocrypha (which means "of secrecy or hidden knowledge", Catholics like to call them Deuterocanon, meaning second in canon/authority). The reason why it was rejected by many (and also the reason why it's called Deuterocanon) at the time was because we cannot determine who wrote them, where they came from, and by what authority. Essentially, Apocrypha means "hidden author/origin". Anyone could've wrote them. As for having more books in the Bible... Does that make one more Christian? The Orthodox Bible has 81 books, that's 8 more than the Catholic Bible. Does that make them "more Christian"? You may as well switch to Orthodox Christianity if that is your measuring tool.

​@mei.mei1 he should convert to orthodox Christianity as it is the true church. Are you a confused little protestant? Look at the history of the protestant church.. Did protestant Christianity fracture off of a fractured catholic church as it did the one true church? 30 thousand protestant denominations, no wonder those kinds of Christians are so confused.

There is only one Rock. . *1 Corinthians 10:4* and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. ------------- • Adding doctrines is apostasy and it’s forbidden. *Deuteronomy 4:2,* *Galatians 1:6-7* *Mark 7:7* Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. ------------- • There aren’t any officiating new covenant priests. We have a new ministry in the new covenant. *Ephesians 4:11* • God does not show favoritism *Romans 2:11* -- there is no evidence in the scriptures that the church was built on a human. We do not have a human pope to guide us. We are led by the Spirit. *Acts 1:5* ------------- • The scriptures show no differences in the apostles. ****Equality amongst the apostles**** “Ye are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone. *Ephesians 2:20* “And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.” *Revelation 21:14* • Peter was no different than the others. ------------- • Mary nor the saints can hear prayers. There’s only one mediator in heaven between God & Man. *1 Timothy 2:5* For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, ------------- • All Christians are saints. *Philippians 1:1* Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: ------------- • All Christians are priests. We are living stones being built in a spiritual house on a spiritual Rock. You can approach God fit forgiveness yourself. *1 Peter 2:5* Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. ------------- • The doctrine of original sin is not biblical or found in the scriptures at all. *Ezekiel 18:20* The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. ------------- • Every Christian is supposed to study and read the Bible for themselves. *Acts 17:11* *Ephesians 3:4* As you read what I have written, you will understand my insight into this plan regarding Christ. *Psalm 119:15* I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways. ------------- • In order to receive salvation, we must all repent and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior. We need no Eucharist, no veneration of Mary, no long list of good works, no baptism regeneration, no sacrament of reconciliation, no rosary, no pope, no papacy, no belief in Peter as the Rock *1 Corinthians 3:11,* no man-made doctrine, no priests, no infallible magisterium, no Vatican, no communion of saints, no catechisms, no Marian dogmas, no transubstantiation, but only by faith through grace are we saved. *Ephesians 2:8* "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast".❤

Please study the Bible. If Catholics would only study, the Catholic Church wouldn’t exist. If anyone tells you that the church is built on the foundation of a human, a man, Peter. The same Peter who was checked by Paul for treating the Gentiles differently in account on fear of criticism. If Peter was a pope, Paul would have must need to see Peter after losing his sight, not Ananias. Please study your Bible. Eamon Duffy, an Irish historian, said, “There is, therefore, nothing directly approaching a papal theory in the pages of the New Testament,” and “from all indications, there was no single bishop of Rome for almost a century after the deaths of the apostles”. The Catholic National, a Catholic organ published this quote in July 1895. - Eamon Duffy was a Catholic Historian and he basically refutes that *Matthew 16:18* alludes to or supports papal authority. He said it without any confusion that the scriptures do not support the papacy. Therefore Peter was not singled out. When Christ said, “upon this Rock, I build my church”…. to say that he was forming a papacy through a lineage of Peter is speculation. 🐟🐠🪽🪿🕊️
