Brought up in a Catholic Convent, not by choice!!! Abandoned by parents. It took 54 years before Jesus rescued me,and I’ve been given a second chance in life, the best decision and commitment I have ever made!!!! THANK YOU JESUS , AND THE POWER OF GOD’s Holy Spirit. All Glory To God, the one and only true God, Hallelujah! I honestly don’t know what I would do without Him. I Love You, Adore You, Worship You, Praise You, and Glorify Your Holy Name. One night listening to Worship, drew me to Jesus, that same weekend was Easter Sunday, I received Jesus, as my Lord and Savior, I have been following Him daily since 1999. Hallelujah. Thank You Jesus. Amen❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@carolinajackson7621 I didn't say that. The post doesn't make much sense, but it seemed to be anti-Catholic and thus driven by something other than the Holy Spirit. Do you think that if someone has had some sort of experience of God that that means they are perfect and can't make mistakes? I'm saying the person is not listening to God if they are anti-Catholic. If they were truly lead by the Spirit they would know that they need to go to Confession, receive Jesus in the Eucharist, and partake of the other sacraments as necessary. They would know that there is one Faith and one Church. They would want to enter the Church and belong to the body of Christ.

Makes no sense to say that 73 year old devout Catholic had not accepted Christ. And you "led him" to "saving grace" that is somehow superior to the grace he was receiving, the Body and Blood of the Lord, every Sunday? And you did this by teaching him some of the recently created heresies of false religions? How can the Faith which the Lord gave to the Apostles and they handed down in the apostolic churches, the Catholic Church, be superseded by latter-day teachings of heretics? What "grace" is found in heresies? Heresies are lies. Lies cannot save anyone. Jesus said, I am the Truth. Not Martin Luther and not other inventors of strange new doctrines created in recent centuries to lead people astray.

Really good discussion. Being married into a Greek family and their membership in the Greek Orthodox Church, this was a helpful video. They split from Catholicism but did keep much of the same or similar unbiblical teachings, beliefs and traditions. I walked away from Eastern Orthodoxy over 4 years ago after being in the church prior for 25 years because of my marriage. I almost lost my marriage as my husband was less than happy that I returned to the Baptist church threatening to divorce me but by the grace of God we are almost at our 32 year anniversary and I have over the years been able to interject the true gospel , biblical truths and counters to what they teach. He is still a member and so it can be difficult at times to navigate how to handle this situation. I wish more discussions were given on Eastern Orthodoxy and it’s ties to Roman Catholicism and the similar heresies because it’s almost a forgotten fact that they were and are still in many ways linked together.

God originally gave the Greek church charge over the believing Gentile church. Believing Jews first [ the diaspora ] and then to Hellenes. See Romans 2:10 The word "gentile" there is actually Hellenes meaning Greek. The old covenant scriptures were written in Hebrew Aramaic and the new covenant written in Koine Greek. This isn't to say the Greek Orthodox churches haven't taken in false doctrines over its ancient history. They have but at least they haven't splintered into 400000 different denominations. I notice much idolatry in the Eastern Orthodox churches similar to the church run by the Vatican Bishop of Rome.

The Orthodox tradition, having missed both the reformation and the counter reformation, is probably the closest to apostolic christianity. I've heard of former protestants who become Orthodox. What you think of as "unbiblical" teaching is often a different interpretation and different emphasis of scripture. I don't necessarily agree with Orthodoxy, but there are plenty of unbiblical teaching in the protestant tradition too.

@@MusicalRaichu that is true in any church “ denomination “. In the case of orthodoxy, it teaches the assumption and perpetual virginity of Mary , and claim her to be Holy, they pray for the souls of the dead , they teach transubstantiation, that water baptism saves and advocate infant baptism and salvation is contingent upon keeping the sacraments ( this is of course a works based gospel) that they are the one true church , they call the priests “ Father”, they deny a rapture, teach one judgment of all lumping saved with unsaved, they venerate saints and yes pray to them including Mary going as far as to have numerous patron saints to call upon to assist in specific prayers and with Mary for her to assist in salvation , they deny a literal hell, teach replacement theology among other concerning things. So while there are Protestant denominations that have issues, Orthodoxy has many that are outright heretical, the worst being a works based salvation. Scripture is clear on all these things but the most important is how one is saved. It is by faith alone and a works based salvation does not save which leads a person to hell ( which is a literal place ) as it adds to Christ’s complete work already accomplished on the cross and no amount of prayers for the dead or to deceased saints allows an opportunity for that person a second chance to get it right. If the gospel is wrong in any faith , that is the biggest concern.

@@Smerm Well I think they've got some things right, some wrong. like their view of mary and baptism and praying to saints and using icons and stuff is pretty sus. but while justification by faith means God's forgiveness is a free gift we can't earn, the bible clearly teaches that all will be judged on their behaviour without partiality: 2 cor 5.10, rom 14.10, mat 25.31-46, rom 2.6-11, 1 pet 1.17, rev 20.12 "heII" is not taught in scripture, which seems to inconsistently teach annihilation and universal reconciliation. infinite punishment for finite wrongs obviously contradicts both God's love and God's justice. actually i don't know the orthodox position, i'll look it up. and the rapture was invented around 200 years ago. it's a strange idea that's never been traditional christianity, in spite of its popularity in one particular country. my point is that no one should write off a particular tradition, because no tradition has a monopoly on truth. they each have strengths and weaknesses. there's "one Lord, one faith, one baptism", it's Jesus that unites us whether we realize it or not. a better way is to "accept one another as Christ accepted you" and share our views and our reasons for them with no condemnation.

@@MusicalRaichu The issues you’ve mentioned are commonly used as counter points. Hell is clearly taught in scripture, believers are judged at the Judgment seat of Christ for rewards of service not to assess if they have eternal life , unbelievers are judged at the Great White Throne Judgment for their faith in their works and rejection of Christ. God is misrepresented as only a God of love and not justice. There are many scriptures on hell and a differentiation of judgments. The rapture was not invented 200 years ago which is the go to John Darby defense that is used to denounce the fact that the rapture is in scripture. If you really want to study these issues to assess if they are in the Bible and their correct contextual definitions and factual basis, I’d humbly suggest you look into counter views to what you believe about them. If course we are each accountable to what we choose to believe and why. None of us knows everything of course but scripture is clear on the way of salvation, the existence of hell , the second coming which includes a rapture ( harpazo in Greek , to snatch away ) and a literal second coming when Jesus physically returns, and the different judgments between the saved and unsaved. These type of topic studies are time consuming but worth the investment to correctly divide the truth. One more helpful point is churches that teach Replacement theology have a skewed understanding of the separate roles of Israel vs the church throughout scripture. I assume you are not a Dispensationalist but dispensations are key to discerning the differing importance and significance Israel and the Jews and the church have in both the Old and New Testaments especially the prophetic implications woven throughout scripture. I would like to say I appreciate how you were not mean or disrespectful in your responses. Too many times it’s easy to not respond as such and I appreciate that. These can be touchy subjects because of differing beliefs and understandings. No one can make another see their viewpoints but it’s good to debate if it results in further research which is what being a berean means. We shouldn’t take someone’s word for it but need to research things ourselves to know what and why we believe what we do. A few good sources that cover these topics and their opposing views that you may choose to check out are or else my response would reach novel length and could be seen as droning on, costing us both back and forths of time we probably can’t continue to spend doing. It would be become a round and round we go scenario 😅……. Dr. Andy Woods Duluth Bible Church Yankee Arnold C4C Apologetics To limit time navigating their KZread channels , it’s helpful to go under their playlists for the specific topics desired to be studied. Btw, Andy Woods is extremely thorough on all these various issues but just a warning that because he is, he has many videos under each so it takes awhile for each to thoroughly grasp biblically what is being taught. He’s really good at exegesis, uses a lot of scripture and more importantly, uses scripture to interpret scripture so that things are in context which is extremely crucial. The Eastern Orthodox have a KZread channel called “ Be the Bee” which has numerous short teachings on the beliefs on every topic imaginable . In my study it was helpful to watch their videos on individual topics and then check out the opposing view, keeping in mind that scripture within context must be a part of any opposing view so a biblical foundation for that view was the defense and not just mere disagreeing with no Bible based explanation as back up. I guess we are never done learning ( and unlearning) really !! So I hope we both continue to study these things ☺️

I was 8 then. I knew I was a sinner separated from God. I prayed for God to come down and show us what He was like. Lo and behold I was led to an Evangelical church where I found Christ and heard of Jim dying of our sins. I did not hear in my Catholic church but had to work to become acceptable to God.

Water baptism is necessary and is taught throughout the NT. How does anyone read Romans 6:1-14 and not believe baptism is necessary? In Galatians 3:26-27 Paul says, "You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. In verse 29 Scripture says, "If you belong to Christ" which infers that our baptism brings us to this point. Passages throughout the NT teach baptism. The Catholic baptism is not Scriptural nor done as God has instructed. Just another way so called believers distort the Word of God, as anyone who teaches that baptism is not necessary does.

Physical baptism was a sign of what was to come, where we receive spiritual baptism (of the Holy Spirit) from God. It’s the same thing as physical circumcision being a prophetic sign of the spiritual circumcision of the heart. Washing with water only cleans the outside of us, but it does nothing for sins. It’s the act of repenting and confessing our sins rather.

There are so many passages in the NT that teach about baptism, for instance, in Galatians 3:26-27 Paul teaches that "all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ."

Infant Baptism means the child become incorporated in the Body of Christ which is the Church. While the Church’s teaching of Limbo, that is, the state of the soul of of dead unbaptized infant, is a theological hypothesis. Limbo is not hell, but rather a state of perfect happiness yet deprived of the Beatific Vision (the Vision of God in Heaven.) Baptism is the gateway to the other Sacraments when the infant becomes a member of the Church; the soul has Original Sin washed away and receives Sanctifying Grace and the Theological Virtues of Faith Hope and Charity upon which the child can flourish with God’s gifts as it receives the other Sacraments. Just as Jesus in the gospels healed the little girl at the request of her parents, so too the infant becomes a child of God and member of the Church at the request of the parents who promise to raise the child in the faith.

"When I was saved l was made perfect in Christ." I have a feeling that your definition of 'perfect' isn't quite what God's is.

I don't understand why you people would want a fake religion where instead of applying the grace of Christ to your life so that you become holy like Him you just fake it by saying He already make you 'perfect' because "it is finished." This is one of the loonier heresies out there.

I was raised Catholic by my mother. My dad was an agnostic/atheist. I left Catholicism for Protestantism at 18. Thought I may be called to become a minister, and began studies towards that end. History of the Church and contradictions in Protestant Theology and with the scriptures led me to a crisis of faith. I was adrift for a time and without a Church. I explored other religions and philosophies, but I could never deny my experience of Christ and His divinity. I prayed to God for guidance and through trials and a miraculous sign I was told to return to Catholicism. The contradictions I found in Protestantism were resolved in Catholic Theology. I read more early Church history and found the Church Fathers were Catholic in their opinion on the Eucharist, baptism, etc. The Catholic Church is the one true Church established by Christ. There are many misunderstandings in this dialogue about Catholic teachings. I have prayed for those in this video and those who will hear them, that God reveals the truth about His Church, that they may eat of the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood in order that they may have life.

We're failed, and justly doomed for our sin. Enter - JESUS, Who satisfied God's wrath by taking HIS place for us on the Cross. When He shed His blood and rose again, He opened the door to salvation. All who trust in Christ -- not their works or their own devices (bc God rejects them) - and put full faith in Christ ALONE to save them, are born again and become the children of God. That is what the Gospel is all about. If one has been born again, works WILL follow....and they will THEN be rewarded because faith is the only thing that pleases God.

Mike what are the “essentials” of the gospel? Why does protestantism disagree as to this list as they all come from scripture???

In Aramaic, there is just one word for rock and it is kepha. Matthew had to translate his original Aramaic/Hebrew text or the dialog of Jesus into Greek and since Greek had feminine and masculine nouns-and rock was the feminine petra, he had to translate the word differently since a 200-pound fisherman could not go around with a feminine name like Petra. In the translation, Matthew made the Aramaic name Kepha - Petros-petra with a masculine ending.

Timothy was not an apostle, and while he was "chosen by God," his ordination and thus ministry came through the Church via Paul. Even Paul, who was not part of the Twelve but nevertheless called by God to be an apostle "out of the normal course," as he says, had to go up to Jerusalem and run his gospel by those in authority. And the "they did not go to seminary" part is deceptive since they all would necessarily have to have been trained by an Apostle or some other bishop in order to be ordained. One would have to be in the Church to be ordained. The Church is hierarchical. It's not a free-for-all.

In fact, Scripture says "no one dared join them" because they did mighty works and the fear of God came upon those who witnessed this. You can't just say you're an apostle. An apostle is one who is sent. He has mission. So Jesus founded the Church on the Peter and the Apostles, the Twelve. It was they who ordained bishops/priests to ministry in the Church. How do you not understand that nobody is able to ordain themselves but that this sacrament comes from above oneself in the Church? You're just saying "Jesus told us he would send the Holy Spirit," but you are taking this out of context. As Paul said, "are all apostles?" The answer is no. Jesus gave special powers to the Apostles, which they in turn handed on to their successors. You can't do what they do. To claim that you can is a monstrous presumption. It's making yourself Lord. The idea that there is no instruction, no formation, no ordination, no authority, no structure in the Church is an absurdity. All you have to do is read a history of the Church and you can plainly see that all of the successors to the Apostles were in a structured, orderly, orthodox universal ("catholic") Church. You couldn't just set up shop as an independent. People who did this were called heretics. This happened right in the New Testament, and it says to warn them a couple of times and then have nothing to do with them. It says if they had belonged to us (the Church) they would never have left.

Correct, don't receive the Eucharist until you believe what St. Paul wrote in 1 Cor 11:23. If you do not discern the Body of Christ in the Bread and if your soul is not predisposed (free of sin) then you can be drawing down judgment upon yourself. 1 Cor 11:27Therefore, whoever eats the Bread or drinks the Cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the Body and Blood of the Lord. 28Each one must examine himself before he eats of the Bread and drinks of the Cup. 29For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the Body eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. 31Now if we judged ourselves properly, we would not come under judgment. 32But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.

Now, if you believe Jesus is God, then Mary is the mother of God. Lastly, you need to pray and ask Jesus what He thinks about his mother.

In Aramaic, there is just one word for rock and it is kepha. Matthew had to translate his original Aramaic/Hebrew text or the dialog of Jesus into Greek and since Greek had feminine and masculine nouns-and rock was the feminine petra, he had to translate the word differently since a 200-pound fisherman could not go around with a feminine name like Petra. In the translation, Matthew made the Aramaic name Kepha - Petros-petra with a masculine ending.

I'm a Catholic and I believe that the Lord Jesus is the one and only Just One, the One and Only Holy One, even the incarnate eternal Son of the Living G-d that yielded H-s life sinlessly and sacrificially and died for my sins and was raised for the justification of all who believe. His Holy Light has not departed the catholic church. Praise the Lord.

Just remember, adding anything to the simple gospel of "you are saved by grace through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God" means you have not believed the true gospel and are not saved...even if you are well meaning. St. Paul worded it like this, "Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but believes in[a] him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness". - Roman's 4:4-5. Believing in purgatory to finish cleansing you of sin says that what God did by sacrificing Jesus for you was not enough. Killing Jesus every week during the mass also says His sacrifice was incomplete and imperfect. These are terrible heresies and will lead you straight into hell...with no purgatory. I believe you love Jesus but please make sure you believe what He did was completed and perfect and then get out of the system that says it speaks for Him and that the Bible isn't enough. May God bless you in your journey.

Just wondering if you have read the catechism of the catholic church. You will see how much mistaking you are about the catholic church. FYI we do not believe in salvation by works. Why is it so difficult to find a protestant who really knows about Catholicism.

Canon 9. If anyone says that the sinner is justified by faith alone, meaning that nothing else is required to cooperate in order to obtain the grace of justification, and that it is not in any way necessary that he be prepared and disposed by the action of his own will, let him be anathema.

Good try. Actually, it is you who rejects the testimony of Peter, by bearing false witness, because it is Peter who testified that Jesus is the Son of God, the Messiah when asked by Jesus Himself, "Who do you say that I am?". It was Peter's answer about who Christ was that was the rock, pointing to the Rock, Jesus Christ, not to Peter himself, about himself. Further, the entirety of Scripture, all the way from Genesis to Revelation, points to Jesus Christ as the Rock, the only Rock, the Foundation Stone on which the Church is built: the catholic or universal church, the "ekklesia, the called out", not the Roman Catholic Church which has perverted, twisted and added to the Gospel throughout the centuries to line it's pockets and maintain political power. Galatians 1 comes to mind. @nthUsername

@@philipschembri8784 "Actually, it is you who rejects the testimony of Peter, by bearing false witness..." I do neither of those things, but you are doing that. What you said made no sense. "It was Peter's answer about who Christ was that was the rock" No. The text is clear. Jesus said to Peter, "You are Rock.." There is no mention of this false teaching that "Peter's answer was the rock." Scripture and Tradition and history are clear. There wasn't even a controversy over this until the 11th century when the so-called 'Orthodox' suddenly rejected what they had always upheld, the office of Peter. "Further..." No, there is no 'further' when you are starting off with an atrocious lie about what Scripture SAYS. You can't even quote the Lord correctly because your whole intent is to overthrow His Word in favor of your own. The TEXT SAYS LITERALLY, "You are Rock and on this Rock, I will build My Church." Peter's name means Rock. The Lord specifically gave him this new name when they had met earlier. His given name was Simon, or Simeon. Jesus changed this to Kepha, which means rock in Aramaic. This got transliterated into Greek as Cephas, and the NT writers also used Peter (Petros) because that means rock in Greek and would clarify things for Greek speakers who might not be familiar with the Aramaic form. The text does NOT say, "What you said is rock and on this rock..." Please stop lying.

Is that a hermeneutical rule genius? Or, does it just make you feel smarter than you are?

The Church at Rome was established, faithful and active prior to St. Paul writing or traveling to it: "8First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed all over the world. 9God, whom I serve with my spirita in preaching the gospel of His Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you 10in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you. 11For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you, 12that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. 13I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I planned to come to you (but have been prevented from visitingb until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles."

Will be praying for everyone of you. I was where you’ll were at one time.

I am genuinely sad for these men and their understanding of Catholicism. So many errors, misunderstandings, and historical falacies. It is historically evident that teachings regarding the Eucharist, prayers to saints, and the ideas of baptismal regeneration pre-date Constantine by many hundreds of years. A quick reading of Ignatius of Antioch, and Polycarp can refute Gendron's claims quite soundly. I used to believe like these men before actually reading the councils and early Church fathers. It challenged my own understanding and over time I had no choice but to follow the truth where it leads. I am home as a born again, Bible beleiving, Christian. No longer a protestant. And yes, we do call ourselves Christians! I will pray for Mike and these men that they might be challenged in their own beliefs and embrace Catholics as true brothers and sisters in Christ. I pray they might read Church history and the Holy Spirit will guide them to see Catholicism not as a mission field but as brothers and sisters who can help serve and save the least and the lost.

@@AricRenzo it referred specifically to Babylon, but with the similarities between Rome and Babylon, how could we expect it not to meet a similar fate? Consider the luxury and lifestyle they lead. Consider the sexual immorality, the priests having gay sex parties in Rome (watch Secrets of the Vatican for proof). The fornication with kings, which there are politicians holding secret meetings in the Vatican regularly. The “queen”? That’s “Mary”, or who you’re calling Mary. It’s likely the Queen of Heaven (a name that’s been ascribed to Mary) that was the goddess worshiped in the book of Jeremiah that he warned them about. (Jeremiah 44) The similarities don’t stop there. The blood of the martyrs is on Rome’s hands, and she shall pay dearly one day

I’m sorry but he does more to distort Catholic teaching which comes directly from scripture and the traditions of the apostles themselves. When he describes transubstantiation as the calling down of Jesus it’s such a distortion and a disturbing reversal……he leaves out the scripture that Jesus doubles down on and clarifies that he means literally that unless you eat of my flesh and drink of my blood you have no life within you.

Hi Steve, I was raised a Catholic and followed it until I read the entire Bible. It shocked me to my soul. Please read the Bible straight through and you will see the deliberate distortion of the Roman Catholicism compared to the Word of God. That is the truth about the "transubstantiation" and that is exactly what the priests have been assimilating for centuries. This is why you can pay for masses and it is used as monetary gain for the church. Jesus declared it was finished on the cross. Once and for all, He PAID the debt for our sin . Another main difference is "Justification through Faith Alone". Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with GOD through our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, forbade us to pray to anyone or anything else other than Himself or His Father - No Mary, Angels or Saints. Mary is not the queen of heaven, but only in the occult religions. The Roman Catholic church is primarily pagan and identifies in many ways with the Eastern occults. This is why the Catholic church is leading the ONE WORLD pagan religion system in the end times, allowing Islam, Hindu, Buddha, Charismatics, lost Evangelicals and will force ALL to join and worship the False christ or be put to death. This is not a lie but the TRUTH, please search it out in Holy Scripture. The TRUTH will set you FREE. @@stevefarmerhomescom

I’m astounded that these preachers have such a distorted view of the Faith. It seems they have not read much about the history of the Church, or how Christ set it up. One question, if you have to be a born again Christian to reach salvation, why is our loving God allowing the people whom He created in pure love, be born as non Christian and live as other faiths and then when they die, go to Hell. It makes no sense!

The six books of the Septuaguint that Luther rejected (returning his Old Testament canon to that approved by the Jerusalem Pharisees) include: Baruch, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Sirach, Tobit and Wisdom. The Septuaguint was written at the "request of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (285-247 BCE) by seventy-two Hebrew translators-six from each of the Twelve Tribes of Israel." Luther disputed these New Testament books as well: Hebrews, James, Jude and Revelation.

Isaiah 22:22 I will give him the key to the house of David-the highest position in the royal court. When he opens doors, no one will be able to close them; when he closes doors, no one will be able to open them. Is this Scripture prophesying of Peter? No. Revelation 3:7 To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the One who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open.
