What Catholics Do NOT Want You to Know About the Bible | Mike Gendron 

Wow, it says 8 comments but 4 are missing. One is mine. So, in short. I would not let the pope pet my dog.

are you saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone?

Beware of men in " long robes".

I was a Roman Catholic and for years were believing in lies : venal sins, purgatory, indulgences, penance, .... And Jesus Christ is not Central at all! I left the Roman Catholic Church after I came across this verse John 10.10. Jesus said, I have come to give Life and to give it more abundantly. "

If u call on God to know the truth He will open your eyes and show it to u. the Bible tells us read and study the Bible to know the truth.

Your popes, bishops and cardinals have written what they wanted what they wanted outside of the Bible. Read the bible and you will see the lies of the Catholic institution. You are saved by GRACE through faith in Jesus Christ so no one can boast of their works- Ephesians 2:8. Mary is not to be prayed to - never. She has nothing to do with it. The Holy Spirit is who prays for you, intercedes for you. Mary does not give you grace. Jesus gives is grace. The Eucharist is another deception. Jesus paid for our sins once and for all at the cross. No one pulls Jesus out of heaven for anything. Read the bible and compare it to the writings of the popes and bishops and you will see the lies. Tradition which Catholicism is does not save you. Jesus Christ alone does

In theology study, I was always the one that argued the chronological timeline, I'm glad that he bought it up, but you have to dig even deeper... You have to look at things as they were when they went down - and when we use theological brands like dash like protestantism, you have to remember to ask the question... - who was protesting what? When you asked that question, presence of mind questions start to bubble up.... Such as, where was the actual Church at the time Martin Luther nailed his 93 thesis' on the door of the Wittenberg cathedral dash when you asked these questions, it backs people into a corner they have to respond. And they will not be able to lie.. is there silence will be telling because they have nothing but a lot of respond with or they will fold and accept the truth that the situation is what it is. In this case in 1517(ish) Martin Luther was catholic, he was protesting Catholic heresies, so if he was protesting catholicism, he couldn't be protesting Christianity if the Bible which Christianity is materially based out of not on but out of, how would the he then be protesting himself? You had to be protesting something in errancy... What was clearly errant, was the Post council of Trent Catholic doctrine, at this point here to 4 clarifying his position on the rejection of Grace favor of works - for you Catholics who most of you are Stone ignorant faith, because somehow you think that you can just believe by osmosis and you're good, they take advantage of that which is now a double edged sword, because you allow them to because you're measuring your faith, and they take advantage of it for the optics... That is a match made in the pit of hell I desire Truth for you and that your souls be redeemed then you you airing out of comfort... Jennifer Catholics try to defend their faith, two things have to be remembered, it is not a religion, it is a faith-based government organization, also known as a theocracy - they have never been a religion, same with islam, except for in a worse position, because there is no state, they are trying to almost like every liberal machination sociologically, they're taking something that doesn't exist in trying to put meaning behind it and browbeat people over the head, to get them to accept something that doesn't actually exist, Palestine isn't real, the closest thing I forgot to it was actually a place of exile, which is in itself telling all by itself, but there is no nation state... Catholicism itself didn't even occupy any territory or any property until what was prophesied by Daniel ook place 476 AD Romulus was deposed the global squatters known as the 4th century Catholic bishopric hurriedly took advantage of sealing themselves off in the Vatican property, they never paid a cent for it they are nothing but squatters - but that's how Satan works, he's a squatter. You have to pay attention to squatter tactics, to understand that is to understand how to debunk how to rescue your nation from his demonic tutelage Folks, there is a reason why the angel of the Lord in the book of Revelation singles out Catholicism as the Great whore the end times - everything that was going on during the 4th century, is going on now... The Demonic forces satanic loyalty are bricklaying for what they're trying to interpret is their time... Demons know the Bible too they just don't understand the Bible because in the doing, they are predicted, which is precisely why Satan can't quote scripture in context, when he tempted jesus, he twists the scripture why because he can't take the word, Jesus is the word he can't take Jesus and then twist Jesus.. So he has to try to get Jesus to accept something about himself that isn't true, that's called displacement - do you think one of Satan's translations of the name Satan means, "instead of" what is instead of, supplanting, what is supplanting - displacement, in favor of what is to follow. A lot of subtleties and nuances folks Catholics in America I have a slightly different heart for than anywhere else in the world, because they know better... So they have to be presented with the gospel and the truth about what they believe the same way one would a constitutional apologist versus a DieHard coffee House Democrat - can you call them over the head with truth they can't argue with and then knock it out the park in the most unapologetic way possible, because I'm not trying to evangelize them I'm trying to close their escape route, I'm trying to poke holes in their logic, so the aether can escape and they are left with the fresh air of reason... That's my apologetic style I don't play games dash I level truth, notice I didn't say facts.. Facts or the other f-word, unfortunately facts like logic or subjective... You have facts that support how you feel and then you have facts that can guide you to the truth. Quit being the case you have to bolster your evidence, not arguments, but evidence, you're not trying to argue dash You're trying to preempt their mouth opening with things they got to think about before they open their mouths... why? Because Solomon said even a full appears to be wise with their mouths shut... These people are all they deceived, hit them with a truth bomb and then move on.

I just yelled amen at the TV set I have a friend that's just completely blind😂

KEEP BRINGING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE RCC

Mike you serving God by preaching against Catholic church?

I would fact check everything Mike says

GOD JESUS GAVE US THE BIBLE THE RCC WOULD NOT LET PEOPLE HAVE OR READ THE BIBLE

Hey, Revolve Bible Church - please respond to John Martignoni's letter. Give him a chance to expose the consistent lies and misrepresentations by Mike Gendron with evidence from Catholic Church teaching and Scripture.

An examination of the Book of Exodus will reveal that the King James Bible text of the Ten Commandments is not the same as the Catholic Bible.

Critise Calvinism, lutherism one in all in. Include JW as well.

lots of half truths

The title has great implications….😆 I love it said the Catholic. 😉

I can't even imagine the God of the Catholics. Poor people.......... But if THEY want to have their own God........

False teacher

hes lying

You quit speaking for Catholics

Well, Mike, the canon of the OT was never closed by the Jews prior to the life of Christ. There were sects that only felt the Torah was sacred scriptures, for example. Others believed all of the 46 books of the OT were sacred. So you're just factually wrong about that. At 0:50, you talk about Jude: 3, the verse says ... Beloved, although I was making every effort to write to you about our common salvation,* I now feel a need to write to encourage you to contend for the faith that was once for all handed down to the holy ones. Sure the faith was handed down ... but it doesn't say "the scriptures" were handed down. Please stop misreading the Bible ... and misleading others about the Bible. In fact, according to you, we should just ignore anything you have to say and just read the scriptures for ourselves, since they contain everything you need. So please, please just stop talking. Lastly, Mike, please show me where the canon was closed in the 1st century. I want historical evidence. If you can't provide such evidence, then I simply won't believe you. Nor should anyone else believe you.

If your church is founded by a man it is not the one founded by Jesus. Matthew 16:18-19

Get on with loving Christ and everyone, stop pointing the finger your finger without facts! When you point your finger you have three pointing back at yourself!!

Could Mike Gendron expound on Jesus’ teaching on divorce and remarriage in Matt 19 and Mark 10? I wonder how he gets around Jesus’ clear teaching that divorce and remarriage is adultery. The Catholic Church is alone in defending this doctrine. Seems like St. Jerome’s quote on heretics rings true again: “It is rare to find a heretic who loves chastity”

(3:00) False that the Protestant Apocrypha books were added to the Catholic bible. Why? Because the Catholic bible existed before Martin Luther broke away from the Catholic church to start the first Protestant denomination, an action that involved *removing* a subset of books (which Protestants refer to as the Apocrypha) from the Catholic bible to produce the Protestant bible. The video's title should be properly renamed to "What Mike Gendron does not want Protestants to know about the Bible."

What do they mean the apochrypha books not revered by post Malachi Isrealiyes? Try look at the Dead Sea axrolls you will find copies of the book of Jubilees, Book of 1Enoch, Tobit, 1&2 Esdras, Daniel and Bel etc. What the Dead Sea scroll archivers didn't consider scripture at all there is NO copies of Esthet nor 1&2 Macabees found in Qumran.

However you explained it, protestants were not present in the process of making the bible. The Catholics decided which books should be included in the bible.

John 17:20↔️ Acts 1:2

I have watched numerous Mike Gendron videos. Man this guy is really off. Very poor in his knowledge of the Bible and of church history. I’m normally much more reserved and kind in speaking about Protestant and Evangelical apologists, but Gendron’s is so ridiculous that I actually feel bad for him.

Mike what must I do to enter the kingdom of God? to preaching against other churches?

Mr Grundoon is a liar.

Amen! That is the best way to reach Catholics: Simply encourage them to read and believe their own Bible.

This should be titled "What Protestants don't want you to know about the Bible" There were many letters going around, some being read in the Church's that didn't make it in the NT canon. The only reason you know that the NT canon is the written word of God is the fact that authority outside of the bible, the Catholic Church, told you and you believe. The Church, guided by the Holy Spirit, determined which books belong and which ones were to be excluded from the NT canon. When it comes to teaching authority, protestants use the man made doctrine (Luther) of sola scriptura, the bible alone as your only authority, nowhere found in the NT and in reality become their own teaching authority or magisterium; they do the very same thing that they accuse the Catholic Church of doing. Don't be like the father of lies, the accuser, brothers and sisters. "THOU SHALT NOT LIE" Council of Rome 382AD under Pope Damasus I Council of Hippo 393AD Council of Carthage 397AD Canon of Trent 1546 after coming under attack by Luther and made Dogma listing the same books as 382AD. Issued an Anathema on dissenters of the books.

”Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.“ ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭ ”If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions“ ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭6‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭ ”Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them.“ ‭‭2 John‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭ The Bible was compiled by the Catholic Church ❤. Around 110A.D Saint Ignatius of Antioch used, for the first time in Christian literature, the expression “catholic church,” meaning the whole church that is one and the same wherever there is a Christian congregation. ❤I am proud to be Catholic ❤

I dont remember Christ saying, “Peter. You are rock. And on these rocks you shall write a scripture for everyone to misinterpret” Protestantism is full of lies. These guys do not know Christ. Theyre pompous and in error.

“What Protestants don’t want you to know about them” should be the title of the video. Us Catholics accept and embrace every last bit of ink in Scriptures and the Bible unlike Protestants and false prophets asserting and falsely project onto us otherwise. “You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:22-24

😢The speaker who talked about the apocrypha books failed to mention that during the first printing of the Geneva Bible (1560)and the King James bible (1611) both contained 14 apocrypha books. In 1881 books he Geneva bible deleted the 14 Apocrypha books. In 1885 the KJV delete he same 14 books. What does the bible say about adding or deleting books in the bible, read Revelation 22:18-19. The second mistake the speaker made was hat the Catholic Church added 7 books at the Council of Trent. The Council of Trent dealt mainly with Martin Luther and the Reformation. The CatholicChurch compiled the bible at the Council of Carthage in 397 with 73 books. I’m f you pick up a catholic bible today there would be the same 73 books. The bottom line’s s the Catholic Church has never added or deleted any books to the bible. One last thing, Martin Luther wanted to delete the following books from the bible: James, Hebrews, Jude and Revelation.Imagine the hero of the Reformation wanted to delete books from the bible. Thankfully he came to his senses and didn’t follow thru with it. I

Jesus asked the question, "When the son of man comes, will he find faith on earth? He knew the answer. These guys won't change that, they are wasting their breath. Jesus said it pleases the Father to give the kingdom to the little flock ( the faithful cathoilic remnant.) He said not to be afraid. I'm not. I do know people make big money off videos, and all of a sudden, RU-vid is plastered with these. People, don't waste your time on these.

Does Peter have the authority to declare Paul's letter the inspired word of God? If that is true then scripture alone wasn't the final/sole authority for the early Christians.

This is through the guidance of the Holy Spirit of God, who has given us his word, in the recognition of the writing inspired by the Holy Spirit himself, in the collection of the Holy Scriptures,

Mike, you are living in Adultery. Stop it and confess your sins.

I stand corrected, The book of Sirach CH 24 lines up with John CH 6

The new birth of the New Testament church originated in the book of Acts chapter 2 on Pentecost … Even Mary was fill with indwelling Holy Spirit to be born-again endue with power to be a witness of the Gospel of Christ Jesus including the Apostles ( 120 gather)…and continues now…just dialoguing

Yeshuah does speak about purgatory, " you will be thrown into prison and remain there until you have paid every last penny"

it cannot be debunked

Revolve Bible Church, what a joke! Have you noticed that every Protestant church is looking for attention nowadays? What’s up with that ??

The Bible is a Catholic book. The Bible is an inestimable gift from God. It's his word in written form - something each of us should cherish and study regularly. Some groups of Christians try to claim the Bible for themselves. They make it sound like the Catholic Church is opposed to Scripture. Some even claim that the Church "hates" the Bible. But all Christians owe an enormous debt to the Catholic Church, for it was through the Church that the Bible was given to the world. Jesus himself founded the Catholic Church. He appointed its first leaders, and they were the ones who-under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit wrote the books of the New Testament, which completed and became the capstone of all the scriptures that had come before. The Holy Spirit then guided the Catholic Church to discern which books belonged in the Bible and which did not. This involved the crucial process of sorting the true scriptures from all of the false ones that existed. The Catholic Church laboriously copied the scriptures in the age before the printing press, when every book-including lengthy ones like the Bible-had to be written by hand. It thus preserved these books through the centuries, unlike so many ancient works that have now been lost. The Catholic Church is why we have the Bible today, and everyone should be grateful for the gift that, by the grace of God, it has given to the world. Let me give you the timeline for the development of the Bible: 382 AD - Pope Damasus I holds the Council of Rome, which establishes the canon of Scripture. 393 AD - Council of Hippo reaffirms the canon. 397 AD - Council of Carthage reaffirms the canon. 405 AD - Pope Innocent I reaffirms the canon. 419 AD - Another Council of Carthage reaffirms the canon. 1142 AD - The Council of Florence reaffirms the canon. The Bible is a Catholic book! In the 16th century, Martin Luther disagreed with the Catholic Church when Church councils ruled against him on his heretical believes, and Luther then decided to become a heretic “pope” by incorrectly translating the Bible to german, and coming up with his own doctrines, including his own doctrine of Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide and others. He removed 7 books of the Old Testament thereby establishing his own canon. He also wanted to remove the books of Hebrews, James, Jude, and the Book of Revelation, but one of his friends told him it was not a good idea.

He hasn't read the book of Wisdom ch 24 , lines up with John CH 6

Careful with your strawmen guys. It might get knocked down. Oh there it goes. You knocked it over. Now if you could actually debate a true Roman Catholic on the Canon of scripture that would be great. Jesus gave us a Church and did not give us a bible. The bible came from the Church which has the authority to choose which books were inspired and which weren't. It was a Christian Church as well. So quit saying that our Jewish bretheren decide what is in our Chirstian Bible. They didn't even have a consistent Canon until after the Holy Bible's Canon was decided. Mike Gendron was a poor excuse of a Catholic and that's why he makes a great protestant.

Mike doesn't know the history of the Bible. There are scholars who study it for their livelihood, and they present a different view.

5:20 “we don’t do things just because the Jews did them, after all the Jews rejected the messiah” the irony. This is the exact argument Protestants use to reject the deuterocanonical books as Scripture. Protestants follow the canon of the Pharisees and use the historian, Josephus as an authority on which books are canon. But we know the Jews disagreed on what was canonical or not. Sadducees, Pharisees and Essenes had different canons. The New Testament writers used the Greek translation of the Old Testament to quote from (over 90% of the OT quotes are directly from the Greek translation). The early Church picked this up and carried through the centuries. Yes, there was disagreement amongst Christians on the OT, but there were also disagreements on the NT. The picture painted here from you guys is that it was obvious which books were canon. False. Many early writers had doubts over Hebrews, 2 Peter, 2 and 3 John and Revelation. The Church (bishops in succession of the Apostles) had to come together to unify the Church around the same canon of Scripture. The regional councils of Rome, Hippo and Carthage, in the late 4th century, is when you have the first mention of a complete canon. The decree from Pope Damasus I. Also, no Catholic nor does the Catholic Church claim that the Church makes the Bible have authority. Instead the Church recognises and defines what it is Scripture. Lastly, the Council of Trent dogmatically defined the canon only because Luther rejected them. They were always mentioned amongst the rest of the books when the canon was listed. If Catholics added these Books in the 16th century, then why do the Eastern Orthodox have the same canon as us when they split in the 11th century. At the end of the day Protestants accept the New Testament, but reject the Church that gave you the NT. While throwing out 7 Books from the OT, because it doesn’t suit your false theology.

No thanks I’d rather take my chances in the Church that came from the Early Church, that has Sacraments and most importantly the Real Eucharist, and has existed for over two millennia and grown to over 1.2 billion followers Because the Bible says you will know a good tree from its fruit. Hard to argue that the Catholic Church is wrong IF you actually use Matthew 7:15-20 as a guide Or… you could believe these guys 🙄

Gendron was a weak Catholic before and a weak Evangelical at this time. We Catholics have an adage about one's scope of Bible reading, study, and comprehension: "Weak Catholics become Evangelicals; Strong Evangelicals become Catholics."

Why are you putting down Catholics? Not everyone is bad Also google or read about: Mother Mary She appeared many times to lead us back to Jesus Fatima Portugal 1917 Apparition of Mother Mary

Also, the doctrine of the trinity, worship of idols and their queen of heaven are all pagan

➔ The entire foundation of Protestantism is false:... ➔The Bible ITSELF Contradicts Luther's doctrine of "scripture alone" (solascriptura) The Bible tells us that the authority is THE CHURCH: ... ● 1 TIMOTHY 3:15 The pillar & foundation of TRUTH is the CHURCH. ● 2 THESS 2:15 We are to hold fast to the TRADITIONS we have been given, either by WORD OF MOUTH or by the letter. ● 2 TIMOTHY 2 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
