Hi. Fr. Pacwa may be an interesting speaker, but does he accurately teach from the Bible? I am not a Catholic, but I am a believer in Jesus Christ. I write out of genuine concern for Catholics as it appears to me that they are preaching a false gospel. First, is it true that Catholics believe that a person must be bapitzed Catholic, receive Catholic communion, yet with no assurance of their salvation? However, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)." That said, no Catholic has had the integrity or courage to explain what Romans 10.13 means. Instead, sadly, there have been numerous Catholics with Scripture verses that, supposedly, contradict Paul's gospel. Their attitude seems to be, "There is more to it than that." Yet, does that mean that Paul is wrong? That is, Catholics believe, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic, and partakes of Catholic communion might be saved." Yet, Paul warned, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." Do you, likewise, have Scripture verses that contradict Paul (and the Lord Jesus as well)? What do you do with Romans 10.13? Though I do not know you, I write in the hope of seeing you in heaven. Salvation is simply a life-transforming meeting with Christ. It is written, "This is eternal life, that you know God and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent." Baptism and communion are important, but not necessary for salvation. I hope that you will get to know Christ - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

Hi. Ironically, I just answered a post from another 'Maria' (above). I thought I would share it with you as well. Hi Maria. Thank you for your kind note. In all love and respect, I am of the impression that Catholics are not preaching the true gospel. In fact, I am concerned about your eternal destiny. Please allow me to explain. I have been writing these types of posts, dialoguing with many Catholics, since September. These Catholics believe that you must be baptized Catholic, partake of Catholic communion, and even at that, there is not assurance of salvation. Yet, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)" Notice Paul does not mention baptism nor communion as requirements for salvation. The Lord Jesus preaches the same gospel, "My heavenly Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him" and "Ask and you shall receive." Again, notice that the Lord did not say, "Ask, be baptized, and you shall receive." At this point, the Catholics I have written to will respond with Scripture verses, implying that there is 'more to it than that." Yet, was Paul wrong? Is the Lord wrong? Again, in love and respect, no Catholic has had the courage nor the integrity to address this obvious contradiction. Only one Catholic admitted the contradiction, but was in passive denial, saying, "Good point. I will have to look into this." Yet, I never heard from him again. Hence, Paul taught, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved," yet Catholics teach, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic, and partakes of Catholic communion MIGHT be saved." Paul warns, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." Strong words! I realize that you believe being faithful to the Catholic church is being faithful to God. Yet, the Catholic church preaches a different gospel. Far from honoring church history, the Catholic church dishonors apostolic tradtion by contradicting the words of both the Apostle Paul and the Lord Jesus Christ. I hope that you will have genuine encounter with Christ - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

I appreciate this man and his enthusiasm. Bless you Father Mitch.

@@kenshiloh no that’s not all we believe but thanks for asking. Salvation is found in the person of Jesus Christ. Grace first. . The Eucharist is in scripture. You’re not a Catholic yet you assume you know our teachings and what we believe and now you say we don’t have integrity. If only you would take the time to read the Bible and interpret it correctly you’ll see all of our teachings are based on scripture and tradition. Nowhere in the Bible does it say sola scriptura. There’s plenty of books, church fathers, videos, lectures to watch so you’ll come to understand that Catholicism is the fullness of the truth. That’s why the church’s teachings are still around over two thousand years later, with no break in tens of thousands of sects like Protestantism. Because it’s the truth. The mystical body of Christ which can’t be broken. Hope to see you in heaven too. 🙏🏽

@@Melissa-us4zk Hi. Thanks for writing. First, I urge you to place your trust in God, not in fallible people. For example, in Paul's time, churches that he had founded were really messing up and going astray. If that could happen within his lifetime, how much more could the Catholic church, after thousands of years, have slipped away from the genuine faith? Is that even possible? That is, what makes the Catholic church infallible? Thanks! Yet, my biggest concern is that Catholics may be preaching a different gospel. I hope that, unlike so many, you will not give a flip reply such as, "No, we have the truth" or the like. Instead, I encourage you to really think, to give prayerful and careful answers. Even if you have no concern about your own eternal well-being, at least one of us is preaching a false gospel. That is, it would appear to me that the fierce anger of God is on at least one of us. As Paul writes, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." That said, will you put some good energy and thinking into your reply? I hope so! Nonetheless, may the Lord bless you and yours. Jesus said, "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to anyone who asks of Him (Luke 11.13)." This is a binding contract. That is, if we will do X, God promises to do Y. More specifically, if we ask, God will give us the Holy Spirit. Thus, filled with the Spirit, we will be born again, made new, born into the family of God. We will know and love Jesus, instantly saved and forever (John 14.16). Yet, Catholics teach that a person must be baptized and receive communion in order to be saved. Hence, Paul parallels the words of Christ saying, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)," yet, Catholics teach, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic, and partakes of Catholic communion might be saved." Is this not clearly a different gospel? When asked about this apparent contradiction, Catholics have gone in every direction you could think of. Sadly, one Catholic wrote, "No, it is not true that anyone who calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." Here, she directly quotes Scripture, then claims that it is not true. However, most Catholics will come up with Bible verses that, what, contradict Paul? Just today, one Catholic asked something like, "Why do you quote Bible verses that disqualify other Bible verses?" That said, I hope that you will either show how Catholic doctrine matches Romans 10.13 or simply acknowledge that, by all appearances, you have a different gospel. If such is the case, I hope that you will take a lot of time, seek the Lord, study that Word, and not seek the comfort of following the Catholic church in error, but obey the Lord! Whatever you do will have zero impact on my life. It is simply that, though we have never met, I am deeply concerned about your eternal well-being. The thought of God condemning you for preaching a different gospel just grieves my heart, unspeakably! I hope that you will have a saving encounter with Christ - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

@@Melissa-us4zk Hi. Thanks for writing. You wrote that it doesn't matter what you say, I will reject it? May God help me to pledge allegiance to the truth, not my own opinion. Conversely, are you open to correction by the Holy Spirit? Listen, at least one of us is preaching a false gospel. If that is me, may the Lord have mercy and show me my error. I hope that you will be just as open. Can I get an 'amen' on that? True, the Bible has not changed in 2 thousand years. Yet, is it possible for people to stray? What about churches? What causes you to believe that the Catholic church is immune to error? In fact, Paul warned that people would follow after him, perverting the pure ways of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our only defense is not to trust in people, but to ask the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth, according to God's Word. Is it true that you are trusting in the Catholic church to lead you, yet I trust in the Lord? That is, are you open to the thought that the Catholic church is perverting the gospel? Remember, "Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save", yet "those who trust in the Lord shall never be put to shame." You read your Bible and that is good. Yet, what about Luke 11.13, "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him"? It is akin to Paul, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)." Hence, by 'calling' or 'asking,' you can be filled with the Holy Spirit. He will make His home with you and lead you into all truth (John 14-16). I am simply sharing Biblical truth here. Catholics have gotten really strange over these two Scripture verses. One Catholic, with heretical honesty, said, "No. It is not true that whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." Other Catholics have been much more sublte. For example, I have heard more than once that 'asking' is synonmymous with 'baptism' or that you cannot ask unless you are being baptized. All these blashpemous 'interpretations' simply mock the Lord of glory and the pure simplicity of salvation. I hope that, if you do not yet know Christ, if you do not have 'rivers of living water, that you will have a genuine encounter with Christ - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

Very informative teaching. I'm glad KZread keeps these older videos around, so latecomers like me can watch them years later. And this one I'll watch again.

You err because you can only think of the flesh, but, "This is eternal life, that you know God and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent." How do you meet God? Jesus said, "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him (Luke 11.13)." Yet, even if you win your point, you lose, because you contradict the Lord Who said if you ask (no communion required), you will receive. I can say that John 6.53-4 is metaphorical, because that is Christ's style of teaching. Even if you disagree, I have a valid argument. Yet, what can you say about 11.13? Was Christ lying? Will you correct the Lord? Will you say, "No, Lord. The Holy Spirit will only be given if they partake of communion! Simply asking will not save anyone!" Is that your position?

Hi. The following is my response to a Catholic who told me that the Catholic church is the one true church. Eternity is in the balance! I hope that you will carefully read my response. All the best to you and yours! In all love and respect, I am of the impression that Catholics are not preaching the true gospel. In fact, I am concerned about your eternal destiny. Please allow me to explain. I have been writing these types of posts, dialoguing with many Catholics, since September. These Catholics believe that you must be baptized Catholic, partake of Catholic communion, and even at that, there is not assurance of salvation. Yet, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)" Notice Paul does not mention baptism nor communion as requirements for salvation. The Lord Jesus preaches the same gospel, "My heavenly Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him" and "Ask and you shall receive." Again, notice that the Lord did not say, "Ask, be baptized, and you shall receive." At this point, the Catholics I have written to will respond with Scripture verses, implying that there is 'more to it than that." Yet, was Paul wrong? Is the Lord wrong? Again, in love and respect, no Catholic has had the courage nor the integrity to address this obvious contradiction. Only one Catholic admitted the contradiction, but was in passive denial, saying, "Good point. I will have to look into this." Yet, I never heard from him again. Hence, Paul taught, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved," yet Catholics teach, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic, and partakes of Catholic communion MIGHT be saved." Paul warns, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." Strong words! I realize that you believe being faithful to the Catholic church is being faithful to God. Yet, the Catholic church preaches a different gospel. Far from honoring church history, the Catholic church dishonors apostolic tradtion by contradicting the words of both the Apostle Paul and the Lord Jesus Christ. I hope that you will have genuine encounter with Christ - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

This is the most outstanding teaching about the subject that I've ever read or heard. Informed, objective, and compassionate -- a rare achievement. Would like to hear him teach more about the challenge of "discipline" -- since the opposite can be even more anal. And I'm sure he would do so just as eruditely. You have an adorable mind (and spirit), F. Pacwa.

Hi. So many are endorsing this video, but I write out of genuine concern for Catholics as it appears to me that they are preaching a false gospel. First, is it true that Catholics believe that a person must be bapitzed Catholic, receive Catholic communion, yet with no assurance of their salvation? However, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)." That said, no Catholic has had the integrity or courage to explain what Romans 10.13 means. Instead, sadly, there have been numerous Catholics with Scripture verses that, supposedly, contradict Paul's gospel. Their attitude seems to be, "There is more to it than that." Yet, does that mean that Paul is wrong? That is, Catholics believe, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic, and partakes of Catholic communion might be saved." Yet, Paul warned, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." Do you, likewise, have Scripture verses that contradict Paul (and the Lord Jesus as well)? What do you do with Romans 10.13? Though I do not know you, I write in the hope of seeing you in heaven. Salvation is simply a life-transforming meeting with Christ. It is written, "This is eternal life, that you know God and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent." Baptism and communion are important, but not necessary for salvation. I hope that you will get to know Christ - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

@LEEK Hi. Catholics often criticize the many denominations. However, only Christ has all the truth. Do you really think that any Catholic has perfect theology according to the Word of God? The difference is that you have placed your trust in fallible men, yet I trust in the Holy Spirit to lead me into all truth, according to the Word of God. Jesus said, "If you continue in my word, you will be My disciples." Hence, all I need to do is to continue in Christ's words! Where does Jesus say that I need to pray to Mary or to bow to statues? In contrast, He said, "Who is my mother? Those who hear the word of God and keep it." He gave no special position to Mary. Moreover, I am not disconnected from the body of Christ. It is written, ""(Christ) is also head of the body, the church (Col. 1.18).” Hence, according to Paul, the 'church' is the body of Christ. Yet, what is the body of Christ? Again, Paul writes, “Now you are Christ’s body, and individually members of it (I Cor. 12.27).” Christ's body is made up it's individual members. Yet, what about the gospel? Catholics erroneously teach that baptism and communion are necessary for salvation. Yet, Christ said, "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever ask of Him." Will you say to the Lord, "No! Asking is not enough!"? I hope that you will get to know Christ - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

Love you Fr Pacwa. My father was Polish. That were I believe I got my love of the Catholic faith. Dad was not a practicing Catholic. I was brought up in the Anglican Church in England. Married a young man of the Methodist church. Became a Catholic in Northeastern Pa. lots of lovely Catholic people.

"SACRED" is a sun deity name. Sacred is not in the King James version of scriptures but has entered the newer English versions. Sakra a sun deity who later became Sol Invictus, the Unconquered Sun-deity. Indra was one of the 12 forms of the Sun-deity, and hat he was also known as: "Sakra". "SACRIFICE" = From Sakra, 12 forms of sun-dieties.

At this point, the Catholics I have written to will respond with Scripture verses, implying that there is 'more to it than that." Yet, was Paul wrong? Is the Lord wrong? Again, in love and respect, no Catholic has had the courage nor the integrity to address this obvious contradiction. Only one Catholic admitted the contradiction, but was in passive denial, saying, "Good point. I will have to look into this." Yet, I never heard from him again. Hence, Paul taught, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved," yet Catholics teach, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic, and partakes of Catholic communion MIGHT be saved." Paul warns, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." Strong words! I realize that you believe being faithful to the Catholic church is being faithful to God. Yet, the Catholic church preaches a different gospel. Far from honoring church history, the Catholic church dishonors apostolic tradtion by contradicting the words of both the Apostle Paul and the Lord Jesus Christ. I hope that you will have genuine encounter with Christ - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

@@bartee807 Hi Kerri. I thought I had answered your verses in that, if your interpretation contradicts other Scripture verses, even if you 'win' you lose! That said, did I have a valid point? That is, if baptism is necessary to receive the Holy Spirit, isn't the Lord is 'wrong' in saying, "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him (Luke 11.13)"? Before we look at your verses, shouldn't you clarify what Jesus meant by those words? Nonetheless, if you will be so kind as to send those verse to me, I will answer each one. May the Lord bless you and yours. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

Beautiful, inspiring and powerful!

The one true faith. I love being Catholic.

In all love and respect, I am of the impression that Catholics are not preaching the true gospel. In fact, I am concerned about your eternal destiny. Please allow me to explain. I have been writing these types of posts, dialoguing with many Catholics, since September. These Catholics believe that you must be baptized Catholic, partake of Catholic communion, and even at that, there is not assurance of salvation. Yet, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)" Notice Paul does not mention baptism nor communion as requirements for salvation.

You have trolled so many Catholic KZread channels. You are not interested in the truth. You have been given so many answers and explanations of our Catholic Faith/Church. You truly do not care about our destiny or anything else. You are a part of a brainwashed cult. You are being used as a tool of Satan to harm the one true Church of Jesus Christ to steal souls... .....you lose, be gone.

Excellent lecture. I learned alot. Thankyou! Pax Christi!

@@alhilford2345 Hi Al. Are you not called as a believer to teach others the truth of the gospel? That is, if you say, "You are misinformed," yet do not point out my error, are you really doing what God has called you to do? That is, are you interested in the truth wherever it leads? For example, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." Yet, Catholics teach that baptism is necessary for salvation. Which one is true? Whoever calls will be saved or baptism is necessary for salvation? You cannot say that I did not warn you! Paul wrote that whoever preaches a different gospel should be accursed. Do you believe, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved" or do you have a different gospel? I hope that you will get to know Christ - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

Fr.. Pacwa is widely scholarly in Biblical Theology. Fr .Pacwa is very interesting and already far ahead from the protestant exegites. The protestants, like Baptist Calvinist James White, are stuck in verse by verse interpretation; very much out on historical basis.

Hi. Are protestants missing something? I am not a Catholic, but I am a believer in Jesus Christ. I write out of genuine concern for Catholics as it appears to me that they are preaching a false gospel. First, is it true that Catholics believe that a person must be bapitzed Catholic, receive Catholic communion, yet with no assurance of their salvation? However, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)." That said, no Catholic has had the integrity or courage to explain what Romans 10.13 means. Instead, sadly, there have been numerous Catholics with Scripture verses that, supposedly, contradict Paul's gospel. Their attitude seems to be, "There is more to it than that." Yet, does that mean that Paul is wrong? That is, Catholics believe, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic, and partakes of Catholic communion might be saved." Yet, Paul warned, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." Do you, likewise, have Scripture verses that contradict Paul (and the Lord Jesus as well)? What do you do with Romans 10.13? Though I do not know you, I write in the hope of seeing you in heaven. Salvation is simply a life-transforming meeting with Christ. It is written, "This is eternal life, that you know God and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent." Baptism and communion are important, but not necessary for salvation. I hope that you will get to know Christ - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

In all love and respect, I am of the impression that Catholics are not preaching the true gospel. In fact, I am concerned about your eternal destiny. Please allow me to explain. I have been writing these types of posts, dialoguing with many Catholics, since September. These Catholics believe that you must be baptized Catholic, partake of Catholic communion, and even at that, there is not assurance of salvation.

@@kenshiloh Ken, The true Gospel is guaranteed 100% in the Catholic Church. The reasons are quite evident in Scripture. First we must realize Jesus founded just one Church. Never teaching for it to divide. These are His words: MATHEW 7, 21-24 21. “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who DOES THE WILL of my Father who is in heaven. Then Jesus proceeds to build His one Church on a man whose original name, Simon, signified "reed". MATTHEW 16:18-19 18. And I tell YOU, YOU are PETER, and on THIS ROCK I will BUILD MY CHURCH, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. . 19. I will GIVE YOU the Keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in HEAVEN, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in HEAVEN.” Remember, My Church = One Church Jesus gives His full authority to the one Church He builds. MATTHEW 18:17 17. If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the CHURCH, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector. 18. Amen, I say to you, WHATEVER you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Jesus also wants perfect UNITY. JOHN 17:20-23 20. “I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word, 21. that THEY MAY ALL BE ONE; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22. The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them, that THEY MAY BE ONE even AS WE ARE ONE, 23. I in them and thou in me, that they may BECOME PERFECTLY ONE, so that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them even as thou hast loved me. By being part of thousands of denominations a person acts in total contravention of God's unity and in imitation of the Devil, the divider. For that reason, St. Paul teaches the same complete unity in: 1 CORINTHIANS 10:16-17 16. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? 17. Because there is ONE BREAD, we who are many are ONE BODY, for we all partake of the ONE BREAD. "ONE BODY" Ken. Clear reasoning says there can only be ONE Church founded by Christ, just as He says. This fact must take precedence over any desire to do as you please, so that the true Christian will be guided by the Holy Spirit in UNITY with the magisterium, or teaching authority left by Jesus in Peter and his Apostles to then be orderly passed on, at their deaths, to designated successors previously ordained by imposition of hands, just as Paul teaches Timothy. It is worth noting that unity made it possible for the Catholic Church to produce "The Small Christian Library" which Pope Damasus designated as Bible (Αγια ΓΡΑΦΗ) at the Council of Rome in 382AD. The Pope and all the bishops together, as successors of Peter and the Apostles, will continue their task of constantly guiding the Church with the assistance of the Holy Spirit, as promised by Jesus, in: JOHN 16:13 13. When the SPIRIT of TRUTH comes, He will GUIDE YOU into ALL THE TRUTH; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. That is why St. Paul teaches: 1 TIMOTHY 3:15 15 if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is THE CHURCH of the living God, THE PILLAR and FOUNDATION OF THE TRUTH. May God bless your discernment.

@@joecastillo8798 Hi. Thanks for writing. First, I do not associate myself with any denomination, nor with 'protestants' in general. I simply read the Bible and, by the grace of God, obey it. Jesus said that whoever continues in His word will be His disciple. Yet, where did Jesus ever say that Peter will head the church at Rome and that I need to be a part of that church? Where does it even say that Peter went to Rome, let alone became a bishop there? Therefore, if it so important to the faith that I subscribe to Rome, why is it not written in the Bible? Paul wrote that even if he, Paul, were to preach a different gospel, he should be accursed. Are you saying that I should not follow the gospel as Paul wrote it? The Church is simply the body of Christ, it is comprised all who know and love Him. Moreover, there are 'wheat and tares', those who claim Christ, but do not know Him, those who appear to be saved, but they are condemned. Finally, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." Is that true or do I need to be baptized to be saved? Both cannot be true. Remember, Paul wrote, "Whoever preaches a different gospel should be accursed." Catholics have a different gospel. I hope that you will get to know Christ - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

Hi. In all respect, is Fr. Pacwa of God? Does he faithfully teach from the Bible? I am not a Catholic, but I am a believer in Jesus Christ. I write out of genuine concern for Catholics as it appears to me that they are preaching a false gospel. First, is it true that Catholics believe that a person must be bapitzed Catholic, receive Catholic communion, yet with no assurance of their salvation? However, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)." That said, no Catholic has had the integrity or courage to explain what Romans 10.13 means. Instead, sadly, there have been numerous Catholics with Scripture verses that, supposedly, contradict Paul's gospel. Their attitude seems to be, "There is more to it than that." Yet, does that mean that Paul is wrong? That is, Catholics believe, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic, and partakes of Catholic communion might be saved." Yet, Paul warned, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." Do you, likewise, have Scripture verses that contradict Paul (and the Lord Jesus as well)? What do you do with Romans 10.13? Though I do not know you, I write in the hope of seeing you in heaven. Salvation is simply a life-transforming meeting with Christ. It is written, "This is eternal life, that you know God and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent." Baptism and communion are important, but not necessary for salvation. I hope that you will get to know Christ - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

That is why the world hates you."...Matthew 10:22 "You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved."....Protestants are so consumed with hating the Truth of the Holy Catholic Church, they blindly fail to see their hatred of the Catholic Church is confirmation that She is the One True Church...A man filled with blind pride who, because of his pride, will always find fault with the Truth even though no fault exist. We have the example of the proud pharisees who, because of their blind pride, found fault with Christ Himself. To believe the pharisees one would have to believe that Jesus was the most evil man who ever lived in Palestine. To believe the proud arrogant Protestant is to believe the same evil about Christ's Catholic Church...Blind pride is the sin of Lucifer which is the opposition of God and Truth. A proud man can therefore NEVER come to the fullness of Truth. Sadly pride, by it's very nature, hides itself from the souls who are ruled by pride. Few souls in our Dark End Times can humble themselves before God, begging Him to lead them to the Truth. Every Protestant who has converted to Catholicism did so because they were able to humble themselves before God. Pray that all souls can come to this same humility !!!

OPINION: There are so many young Christians today that fail to recognize the importance of the Catholic Church, which is the true church founded by Lord JesusChrist. The recent Popes seem to fail to acknowledge that it is good for the Catholic Church to still mention some of the the few names of the martyrs of Rome, that were usually mentioned in the Latin Ordo or rite of the Holy mass of old, whenever the Catholic Holy mass is offered. That's everywhere , done by the Roman Catholic priest speaking, praying, and invoking the early Roman martyrs, in Latin at the Holy Mass.

Again, notice that the Lord did not say, "Ask, be baptized, and you shall receive." At this point, the Catholics I have written to will respond with Scripture verses, implying that there is 'more to it than that." Yet, was Paul wrong? Is the Lord wrong? Again, in love and respect, no Catholic has had the courage nor the integrity to address this obvious contradiction. Only one Catholic admitted the contradiction, but was in passive denial, saying, "Good point. I will have to look into this." Yet, I never heard from him again. Hence, Paul taught, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved," yet Catholics teach, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic, and partakes of Catholic communion MIGHT be saved." Paul warns, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." Strong words! I realize that you believe being faithful to the Catholic church is being faithful to God.

HRH TARA Altar The sick mother in law was Peter's. No, we have no information about Peter's children, or even if he had any. We have no information about any of the apostle's wives or children, though we do know from Paul (in 1 Corinthians 9:5) that most of them were married. The only family members we know about are those that are called Jesus's brothers and sisters. But since they were sons and daughters of a man named Alpheus (aka Cleopas or Clopas) and his wife Mary (who is distinct from the Virgin Mary since both Marys are depicted in John 19:25 as standing at the foot of the cross), they obviously aren't blood siblings of Jesus. They appear to have lived in the same household though, for at least part of Jesus' life, probably because Alpheus or his wife were related somehow to Joseph or Mary, and possibly because the sons were apprenticed to Joseph in his carpentry shop. Two of them, James and Jude, were leaders in the early church and left us NT letters. The descendents of these relatives of Jesus were called Desposyni. Most of them hid (or tried to hide) from the Romans after Jesus was executed because they feared that the Romans might come after them as well. There is an article in wikipedia about the Desposyni. Several gnostic sects also claim to be descended from them or in other ways to know special revelation from them. This, of course, is entirely spurious. They do the same thing with Mary Magdalene. Anything to give credence to their claim to know secrets that run-of-the-mill Christians don't know.

Thank you so much. 12 years ago I did our family genealogy - and one of the sites had allegedly researched my family back to Joseph of Arimathea - alleging that he had escaped with Lazarus his sister Mary and Martha and Magdeliene and it made me wonder with the easily refuted Holy Grail legends why there wasn't myth's based on facts of the descendants of the apostles - and the Catholic church would be the only repository of this sort of information - the children would have had to have gone with their parents and would probably be early saints - yet I am surprised that there isn't much information on people raised in Saintly Apostle homes. Like today, Kent Hovind is obviously jailed for his Faith but his son's ministry is going all over, because Eric. his son. was raised in a godly home, Thank you for this information.

One notable item, at 2:57, Pacwa incorrectly states that Gutenberg placed verses in the Bible. Loose 'sectioning' of Bible passages (shorter than chapters) had been around since at least the 14th century, and actual verse separations were first put in by Santes Pagnino in his 1528 Latin Bible. These were different from our modern verse partitions, which were first found in Robert Estienne's 1551 Greek New Testament. The first English Bible to have verses was the 1557 Geneva New Testament.

The first Bible versification was of the Hebrew OT by Jewish Rabbi Isaac Nathan ben Kalonymus (aka Nathan) in 1448. Robert Estienne (aka Stephanus) copied Nathan's OT versification and added NT versification to his Latin Vulgate (NT in 1551, complete Bible in 1555). The first English New Testament to use the verse divisions was a 1557 translation by William Whittingham. The Geneva Bible (1560) was the first *complete* English Bible to be divided into chapters and verses.

But we also acknowledge that the word "believe" has implications which only the Catholic Church is able to consider. Romans 6: 3-4 indicates that to be part of the resurrection we have to be baptised into Christ. So does 1 Peter 3:18-22 John 6:54 says that if we eat His flesh and drink His blood, we will have eternal life. Some of the Jews were shocked by this teaching and left Christ.

Have you not read about the seven churches in the book of Revelation, how Christ corrected them? What about the Epistles, for example, how the Galatians fell into such serious doctrinal error that Paul wondered if he has wasted his time among them! Yet, the Catholic church, over two thousand years, is immune to such straying? Paul corrected the church in Rome 2,000 years ago; I cannot imagine what he would say about it today! Yet, you did not answer my question. That is, Catholics believe that you must be baptized Catholic, partake of Catholic communion, and even at that, there is not assurance of salvation. Hence, to summarize, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)," but Catholics teach, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic and partakes of Catholic communion might be saved." Now, you cannot say that I am falsely interpreting Paul here, as I am not giving any interpretation; I am simply quoting Paul. Is it not a different gospel? No Catholic, so far, will have the courage nor integrity to explain what Romans 10.13 means. Perhaps the Bible came from Catholics.

Doug: You are correct. The Church not only preserved the Bible, but it was Catholic Saints who wrote the New Testament.

Why the septuagint is called so? (because 72 scholars wrote it) If it is written around 250BC, how Macabees which happened later enter into the canon? Even now Jews accept only the 22 books as canon (=39 Christian accepted books)

Well, take Lazarus and his sisters, Mary and Martha; these people were wealthy; hence most assuredly nobility, same with the rich young man who began to follow Christ Jesus; yet all four of these common human beings were very devout Jews- so not by any account were all nobility excluded from the Pharisee Party- not by a long-shot... these people, plus Christ (Who came to reform man, and as a true revolutionary, to change the world); would fit right in ideologically with the Pharisee Party... thing is: a lot of His fights with His own party are due to Him trying to correct their false beliefs- same with the devout ones always among His followers, whether or not we know Him for Who He is.

Why would there be a conflict between the Old and New Testaments to begin with? Logically, the New Testament is the *upgraded* version of the teachings in the Old Testament, same with the evolution of doctrine. Oh, I'd *love* to have it be that Moses, and also Abraham, had the fullness of truth available to them- in a way, in their defense, it bothers me, on a conscience-level that people in past ages had so little data available to them of the fullness of reality as it is... but that's something I'd have to take up with Christ as it were.

I'd say that humbling oneself in the pagan societies, like the one that Abraham was converted from, humility would be an absolute necessity, Fr. Mitch; and that's why the king had to submit to this- now in Imperial Egypt, every year their ruler had to be baptized in some kind of a ritual involved in their practicing of their faith. These religions they had always involved horrible activities, such as child sacrifice, so we know that paganism is easy for demons to manipulate into something that's really horrible in nature- from a merely logical historical analysis we know *that*.

Your a 👍 priest ! Most Protestant defamed the mother of Jesus-virgin Mary,I don't know our Lord Jesus Christ feel happy or not?

Biblios 73 books in one bible. 46 Books in old testament and 27 Books in New testament. They had scrolls in the old testament. Jesus was reading scrolls. And they did not yet have printing press in old testament. They wrote from the leaves of trees.

@@joecastillo8798 Hi. Thanks for writing. First, I do not associate as a 'protestant;' I am simply a believer in Christ. I just read a post by a fellow believer who brought up the point that you, the Catholic church, want to come between the Father-son relationship that I have with God. He is my Father and the Holy Spirit is my Teacher. Have you not read, "The Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth"? Jesus also said, "Call no man 'teacher' because you have one teacher, God." You might reject sola Scriptura, but who or what are you suggesting that I follow? Who should I obey you or the Lord Jesus? Moreover, Paul wrote, "Whoever preaches a different gospel should be accursed." The gospel is that Christ died on a Cross so that, just by asking, we can know Him. For example, Jesus said, "Ask and you shall receive." Preaching the same gospel, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)." Yet, Catholics have change it to read, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized, and receives communion might be saved." Please explain Romans 10.13. Do you believe that whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved? If yes, then explain how a person must be baptized to be saved? The Catholic church wants to supplant the place of God as my Father and Teacher, instead claiming that I should trust them to lead and guide me. That is, Catholics claim that the Bible is good, then contradict its most basic teachings. I hope that you will know Christ - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

Christianity, at its simplest definition, is an *upgraded or completed* rendition of Jewish belief. Remember; the earliest disciples of Christ were Jews- and the same basic law, the Natural Law; is found as a backbone of both faiths... and those Jews who convert to Catholicism say that they haven't rejected their Jewish heritage, they are following it more completely- just as Christ Himself would summarize His goals in His earthly life if asked.

Neither scripture nor the early church elevated Mary or prayed to her.

YET, THE CHRISTIANS MAY PRAY WITH. THE JEWS AT THE SYNAGOGUE . THE CHRISTIANS ALSO MAY PRAY WITH THE MUSLIMS AT THE MOSQUE . BOTH - OLD TESTAMENT FAITH - MAY ALSO PRAY IN THE CHURCH; BUT CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN THE SACRAMENT ; UNLESS THEY ARE BAPTIZED; WHICH WOULD MAKE THEM CHRISTIANS ; THE NEW TESTAMENT FAITH. ****** ******* ****** THE CHRISTIANS ( CATHOLIC; ORYHODOX; SPPX; FSSP; LATIN ) DEAL WITH THE SEVEN SACRAMENTS; THE LIFE OF CHRIST IN TWO DUTIES : 1) AS FOOD OF SPIRITUAL LIFE : FOR EX : THE HOLY MASS AND THE HOLY COMMUNION . 2) AS THE WITNESS OF THE ACT, OR THE ACTION;; OR DEED ; FOR EX: THE SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE ; THE HUSBAND AND WIFE AS THE TWO PARTIES ; CHRIST, OR THE CHURCH - HIS BODY - AS THE WITNESS . ***** ****** *******

I'm not playing Chinese whispers with my soul and neither should you in my opinion.

Question: "What is the canon of Scripture?" Answer: The word “canon” comes from the rule of law that was used to determine if a book measured up to a standard. It is important to note that the writings of Scripture were canonical at the moment they were written. Scripture was Scripture when the pen touched the parchment. This is very important because Christianity does not start by defining God, or Jesus Christ, or salvation. The basis of Christianity is found in the authority of Scripture. If we cannot identify what Scripture is, then we cannot properly distinguish any theological truth from error. What measure or standard was used to determine which books should be classified as Scripture? A key verse to understanding the process and purpose, and perhaps the timing of the giving of Scripture, is Jude 3 which states that a Christian's faith “was once for all entrusted to the saints.” Since our faith is defined by Scripture, Jude is essentially saying that Scripture was given once for the benefit of all Christians. Isn't it wonderful to know that there are no hidden or lost manuscripts yet to be found, there are no secret books only familiar to a select few, and there are no people alive who have special revelation requiring us to trek up a Himalayan mountain in order to be enlightened? We can be confident that God has not left us without a witness. The same supernatural power God used to produce His Word has also been used to preserve it. Psalm 119:160 states that the entirety of God's Word is truth. Starting with that premise, we can compare writings outside the accepted canon of Scripture to see if they meet the test. As an example, the Bible claims that Jesus Christ is God (Isaiah 9:6-7; Matthew 1:22-23; John 1:1, 2, 14, 20:28; Acts 16:31, 34; Philippians 2:5-6; Colossians 2:9; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:8; 2 Peter 1:1). Yet many extra-biblical texts, claiming to be Scripture, argue that Jesus is not God. When clear contradictions exist, the established Bible is to be trusted, leaving the others outside the sphere of Scripture. In the early centuries of the church, Christians were sometimes put to death for possessing copies of Scripture. Because of this persecution, the question soon came up, “What books are worth dying for?” Some books may have contained sayings of Jesus, but were they inspired as stated in 2 Timothy 3:16? Church councils played a role in publicly recognizing the canon of Scripture, but often an individual church or groups of churches recognized a book as inspired from its writing (e.g., Colossians 4:16; 1 Thessalonians 5:27). Throughout the early centuries of the church, few books were ever disputed and the list was basically settled by A.D. 303. When it came to the Old Testament, three important facts were considered: 1) The New Testament quotes from or alludes to every Old Testament book but two. 2) Jesus effectively endorsed the Hebrew canon in Matthew 23:35 when He cited one of the first narratives and one of the last in the Scriptures of His day. 3) The Jews were meticulous in preserving the Old Testament Scriptures, and they had few controversies over what parts belong or do not belong. The Roman Catholic Apocrypha did not measure up and fell outside the definition of Scripture and has never been accepted by the Jews. Most questions about which books belong in the Bible dealt with writings from the time of Christ and forward. The early church had some very specific criteria in order for books to be considered as part of the New Testament. These included: Was the book written by someone who was an eyewitness of Jesus Christ? Did the book pass the “truth test”? (i.e., did it concur with other, already agreed-upon Scripture?). The New Testament books they accepted back then have endured the test of time and Christian orthodoxy has embraced these, with little challenge, for centuries. Confidence in the acceptance of specific books dates back to the first century recipients who offered firsthand testimony as to their authenticity. Furthermore, the end-time subject matter of the book of Revelation, and the prohibition of adding to the words of the book in Revelation 22:18, argue strongly that the canon was closed at the time of its writing (c. A.D. 95). There is an important theological point that should not be missed. God has used His word for millennia for one primary purpose-to reveal Himself and communicate to mankind. Ultimately, the church councils did not decide if a book was Scripture; that was decided when the human author was chosen by God to write. In order to accomplish the end result, including the preservation of His Word through the centuries, God guided the early church councils in their recognition of the canon. The acquisition of knowledge regarding such things as the true nature of God, the origin of the universe and life, the purpose and meaning of life, the wonders of salvation, and future events (including the destiny of mankind) are beyond the natural observational and scientific capacity of mankind. The already-delivered Word of God, valued and personally applied by Christians for centuries, is sufficient to explain to us everything we need to know of Christ (John 5:18; Acts 18:28; Galatians 3:22; 2 Timothy 3:15) and to teach us, correct us, and instruct us into all righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).

Stephen Meehan The Canon of Scripture :During the Reformation, primarily for doctrinal reasons, Protestants removed seven books from the Old Testament: 1 and 2 Maccabees, Sirach, Wisdom, Baruch, Tobit, and Judith, and parts of two others, Daniel and Esther. They did so even though these books had been regarded as canonical since the beginning of Church history. As Protestant church historian J. N. D. Kelly writes, "It should be observed that the Old Testament thus admitted as authoritative in the Church was somewhat bulkier and more comprehensive [than the Protestant Bible]. . . . It always included, though with varying degrees of recognition, the so-called apocrypha or deuterocanonical books" (Early Christian Doctrines, 53), which are rejected by Protestants. Below we give patristic quotations from each of the deuterocanonical books. Notice how the Fathers quoted these books along with the protocanonicals. The deuterocanonicals are those books of the Old Testament that were included in the Bible even though there had been some discussion about whether they should be. Also included are the earliest official lists of the canon. For the sake of brevity these are not given in full. When the lists of the canon cited here are given in full, they include all the books and only the books found in the modern Catholic Bible. When examining the question of what books were originally included in the Old Testament canon, it is important to note that some of the books of the Bible have been known by more than one name. Sirach is also known as Ecclesiasticus, 1 and 2 Chronicles as 1 and 2 Paralipomenon, Ezra and Nehemiah as 1 and 2 Esdras, and 1 and 2 Samuel with 1 and 2 Kings as 1, 2, 3, and 4 Kings-that is, 1 and 2 Samuel are named 1 and 2 Kings, and 1 and 2 Kings are named 3 and 4 Kings. The history and use of these designations is explained more fully in Scripture reference works. The Didache "You shall not waver with regard to your decisions [Sir. 1:28]. Do not be someone who stretches out his hands to receive but withdraws them when it comes to giving [Sir. 4:31]" (Didache 4:5 [A.D. 70]). The Letter of Barnabas "Since, therefore, [Christ] was about to be manifested and to suffer in the flesh, his suffering was foreshown. For the prophet speaks against evil, ‘Woe to their soul, because they have counseled an evil counsel against themselves’ [Is. 3:9], saying, ‘Let us bind the righteous man because he is displeasing to us’ [Wis. 2:12.]" (Letter of Barnabas 6:7 [A.D. 74]). Clement of Rome "By the word of his might [God] established all things, and by his word he can overthrow them. ‘Who shall say to him, "What have you done?" or who shall resist the power of his strength?’ [Wis. 12:12]" (Letter to the Corinthians 27:5 [ca. A.D. 80]). Polycarp of Smyrna "Stand fast, therefore, in these things, and follow the example of the Lord, being firm and unchangeable in the faith, loving the brotherhood [1 Pet. 2:17]. . . . When you can do good, defer it not, because ‘alms delivers from death’ [Tob. 4:10, 12:9]. Be all of you subject to one another [1 Pet. 5:5], having your conduct blameless among the Gentiles [1 Pet. 2:12], and the Lord may not be b.asphemed through you. But woe to him by whom the name of the Lord is b.asphemed [Is. 52:5]!" (Letter to the Philadelphians 10 [A.D. 135]). Irenaeus "Those . . . who are believed to be presbyters by many, but serve their own lusts and do not place the fear of God supreme in their hearts, but conduct themselves with contempt toward others and are puffed up with the pride of holding the chief seat [Matt. 23:6] and work evil deeds in secret, saying ‘No man sees us,’ shall be convicted by the Word, who does not judge after outward appearance, nor looks upon the countenance, but the heart; and they shall hear those words to be found in Daniel the prophet: ‘O you seed of Canaan and not of Judah, beauty has deceived you and lust perverted your heart’ [Dan. 13:56]. You that have grown old in wicked days, now your sins which you have committed before have come to light, for you have pronounced false judgments and have been accustomed to condemn the innocent and to let the guilty go free, although the Lord says, ‘You shall not slay the innocent and the righteous’ [Dan. 13:52, citing Ex. 23:7]" (Against Heresies 4:26:3 [A.D. 189]; Daniel 13 is not in the Protestant Bible). "Jeremiah the prophet has pointed out that as many believers as God has prepared for this purpose, to multiply those left on the earth, should both be under the rule of the saints and to minister to this [new] Jerusalem and that [his] kingdom shall be in it, saying, ‘Look around Jerusalem toward the east and behold the joy which comes to you from God himself. Behold, your sons whom you have sent forth shall come: They shall come in a band from the east to the west. . . . God shall go before with you in the light of his splendor, with the mercy and righteousness which proceed from him’ [Bar. 4:36-5:9]" (ibid., 5:35:1; Baruch was often considered part of Jeremiah, as it is here). Hippolytus "What is narrated here [in the story of Susannah] happened at a later time, although it is placed at the front of the book [of Daniel], for it was a custom with the writers to narrate many things in an inverted order in their writings. . . . [ "We ought to give heed, beloved, fearing lest anyone be overtaken in any transgression and risk the loss of his soul, knowing as we do that God is the judge of all and the Word himself is the eye which nothing that is done in the world escapes. Therefore, always watchful in heart and pure in life, let us imitate Susannah" (Commentary on Daniel [A.D. 204]; the story of Susannah [Dan. 13] is not in the Protestant Bible). Cyprian of Carthage "In Genesis [it says], ‘And God tested Abraham and said to him, "Take your only son whom you love, Isaac, and go to the high land and offer him there as a burnt offering . . ."’ [Gen. 22:1-2]. . . . Of this same thing in the Wisdom of Solomon [it says], ‘Although in the sight of men they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality . . .’ [Wis. 3:4]. Of this same thing in the Maccabees [it says], ‘Was not Abraham found faithful when tested, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness’ [1 Macc. 2:52; see Jas. 2:21-23]" (Treatises 7:3:15 [A.D. 248]). "So Daniel, too, when he was required to worship the idol Bel, which the people and the king then worshipped, in asserting the honor of his God, broke forth with full faith and freedom, saying, ‘I worship nothing but the Lord my God, who created the heaven and the earth’ [Dan. 14:5]" (Letters 55:5 [A.D. 253]; Daniel 14 is not in the Protestant Bible). Council of Rome (382) "Now indeed we must treat of the divine scriptures, what the universal Catholic Church accepts and what she ought to shun. "The order of the Old Testament begins here: Genesis, one book; Exodus, one book; Leviticus, one book; Numbers, one book; Deuteronomy, one book; Joshua [Son of] Nave, one book; Judges, one book; Ruth, one book; Kings, four books [that is, 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings]; Paralipomenon [Chronicles], two books; Psalms, one book; Solomon, three books: Proverbs, one book, Ecclesiastes, one book, [and] Canticle of Canticles [Song of Songs], one book; likewise Wisdom, one book; Ecclesiasticus [Sirach], one book . . . . Likewise the order of the historical [books]: Job, one book; Tobit, one book; Esdras, two books [Ezra and Nehemiah]; Esther, one book; Judith, one book; Maccabees, two books" (Decree of Pope Damasus [A.D. 382]). Council of Hippo (393) "[It has been decided] that besides the canonical scriptures nothing be read in church under the name of divine Scripture. But the canonical scriptures are as follows: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua the Son of Nun, Judges, Ruth, the Kings, four books, the Chronicles, two books, Job, the Psalter, the five books of Solomon [Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Wisdom, and a portion of the Psalms], the twelve books of the prophets, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Ezekiel, Tobit, Judith, Esther, Ezra, two books, Maccabees, two books . . ." (Canon 36 [A.D. 393]). Council of Carthage III (397) "[It has been decided] that nothing except the canonical scriptures should be read in the Church under the name of the divine scriptures. But the canonical scriptures are: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, four books of Kings, Paralipomenon, two books, Job, the Psalter of David, five books of Solomon, twelve books of the prophets, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Ezekiel, Tobit, Judith, Esther, two books of Esdras, two books of the Maccabees . . ." (Canon 47 [A.D. 397]). St. Augustine "The whole canon of the scriptures, however, in which we say that consideration is to be applied, is contained in these books: the five of Moses . . . and one book of Joshua [Son of] Nave, one of Judges; one little book which is called Ruth . . . then the four of Kingdoms, and the two of Paralipomenon . . . . [T]here are also others too, of a different order . . . such as Job and Tobit and Esther and Judith and the two books of Maccabees, and the two of Esdras . . . . Then there are the prophets, in which there is one book of the Psalms of David, and three of Solomon. . . . But as to those two books, one of which is entitled Wisdom and the other of which is entitled Ecclesiasticus and which are called ‘of Solomon’ because of a certain similarity to his books, it is held most certainly that they were written by Jesus Sirach. They must, however, be accounted among the prophetic books, because of the authority which is deservedly accredited to them" (Christian Instruction 2:8:13 [A.D. 397]). "We read in the books of the Maccabees [2 Macc. 12:43] that sacrifice was offered for the dead. But even if it were found nowhere in the Old Testament writings, the authority of the Catholic Church which is clear on this point is of no small weight, where in the prayers of the priest poured forth to the Lord God at his altar the commendation of the dead has its place" (The Care to be Had for the Dead 1:3 [A.D. 421]). The Apostolic Constitutions "Now women also prophesied. Of old, Miriam the sister of Moses and Aaron [Ex. 15:20], and after her, Deborah [Judges. 4:4], and after these Huldah [2 Kgs. 22:14] and Judith [Judith 8], the former under Josiah and the latter under Darius" (Apostolic Constitutions 8:2 [A.D. 400]). Jerome"What sin have I committed if I follow the judgment of the churches? But he who brings charges against me for relating [in my preface to the book of Daniel] the objections that the Hebrews are wont to raise against the story of Susannah [Dan. 13], the Song of the Three Children [Dan. 3:29-68, RSV-CE], and the story of Bel and the Dragon [Dan. 14], which are not found in the Hebrew volume, proves that he is just a foolish sycophant. I was not relating my own personal views, but rather the remarks that they are wont to make against us. If I did not reply to their views in my preface, in the interest of brevity, lest it seem that I was composing not a preface, but a book, I believe I added promptly the remark, for I said, ‘This is not the time to discuss such matters’" (Against Rufinius 11:33 [A.D. 401]). Pope Innocent I "A brief addition shows what books really are received in the canon. These are the things of which you desired to be informed verbally: of Moses, five books, that is, of Genesis, of Exodus, of Leviticus, of Numbers, of Deuteronomy, and Joshua, of Judges, one book, of Kings, four books, and also Ruth, of the prophets, sixteen books, of Solomon, five books, the Psalms. Likewise of the histories, Job, one book, of Tobit, one book, Esther, one, Judith, one, of the Maccabees, two, of Esdras, two, Paralipomenon, two books . . ."

Concerning the Canon of Scripure, why are books of that the Catholics included even important? Moreover, in all love and respect, I am of the impression that Catholics are not preaching the true gospel. In fact, I am concerned about your eternal destiny. Please allow me to explain. I have been writing these types of posts, dialoguing with many Catholics, since September. These Catholics believe that you must be baptized Catholic, partake of Catholic communion, and even at that, there is not assurance of salvation. Yet, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)" Notice Paul does not mention baptism nor communion as requirements for salvation. The Lord Jesus preaches the same gospel, "My heavenly Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him" and "Ask and you shall receive." Again, notice that the Lord did not say, "Ask, be baptized, and you shall receive." At this point, the Catholics I have written to will respond with Scripture verses, implying that there is 'more to it than that." Yet, was Paul wrong? Is the Lord wrong? Again, in love and respect, no Catholic has had the courage nor the integrity to address this obvious contradiction. Only one Catholic admitted the contradiction, but was in passive denial, saying, "Good point. I will have to look into this." Yet, I never heard from him again. Hence, Paul taught, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved," yet Catholics teach, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic, and partakes of Catholic communion MIGHT be saved." Paul warns, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." Strong words! I realize that you believe being faithful to the Catholic church is being faithful to God. Yet, the Catholic church preaches a different gospel. Far from honoring church history, the Catholic church dishonors apostolic tradtion by contradicting the words of both the Apostle Paul and the Lord Jesus Christ. I hope that you will have genuine encounter with Christ - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

This word is used to in all your examples, it means simply to ask H4994. נָא nā’: A participle meaning please, now. The most common use of this word is similar to the antiquated use of pray as in pray tell. Since it was frequently used as a polite form of asking for something, it was often left untranslated in many English versions of the Bible. Abraham used this word when he asked Sarah to say she was his sister (Gen. 12:13); Moses used the word when he asked the people to listen to him (Num. 20:10). It was often used to ask permission (Num. 20:17). This word is always used in reference to praying to God alone (or false gods) But never used to pray to anyone who has died H6419. פָּלַל pālal: A verb meaning to pray, to intercede. This is the most common Hebrew word used to describe the general act of prayer (Jer. 29:7). It was often used to describe prayer offered in a time of distress, such as Hannah’s prayer for a son (1 Sam. 1:10, 12); Elisha’s prayer for the dead boy (2 Kgs. 4:33); Heze-kiah’s prayer for protection and health (2 Kgs. 19:15; 20:2); and Jonah’s prayer from the fish (Jon. 2:1[2]). In some contexts, this word described a specific intercession of one person praying to the Lord for another, such as Abraham for Abimelech (Gen. 20:7, 17); Moses and Samuel for Israel (Num. 11:2; 21:7; 1 Sam. 7:5); the man of God for the king (1 Kgs. 13:6); or Ezra and Daniel for Israel’s sins (Ezra 10:1; Dan. 9:4, 20). This prayer of intercession could also be made to a false god (Isa. 44:17; 45:14). I guess no matter how explicit the Lord is, man will try and hold onto traditions and teach them wrongly as if they are the word of God. Why? Why is God's Word never enough? Matthew 15:9 KJVS But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Jeremy James Because the western Catholic Church is only a part of the original Church. Technically speaking, the Church is broken. But for the first 1,000 years, the Church in Rome was united with the church in the East, both of which trace their lineage to the apostles. The beginning was Jerusalem, but the church spread throughout the world.

Jeremy James and you can see apostolic succession alluded to in Acts where Judas' successor is chosen: "let another take his office." But, since the New Testament was written at the time of the apostles, you will have to look at the early church fathers to see that the second generation of christians actually practiced apostolic succession. The evidence is there.

Jesus said "this generation will not pass away until all these things (the Fall of Jerusalem) come to pass". A Biblical generation was 40 years. Jesus died approx AD 33. Jerusalem fell in AD 70. Christians had been forewarned and had left Jerusalem. Mary and John went to Turkey. Peter went to Rome. Paul did not personally encounter Jesus in his lifetime. He was "born in an abnormal way" on the road to Damascus. The Apostles were the first Bishops. 30 of the first 32 Bishops were slaughtered.

you were never catholic, you're a troll that's been hunting every catholic vid you can find to spew your lies and malice

The fact that the host stated 2 Timothy 3:16 and compared it to Sola Scriptura is a gross misunderstanding of the Bible as a whole. Because of his inability as most Catholics do, the Bible also states beware against the Traditions of Men in MANY places. How shocking is it that the Catholic Church forgets those verses and does not think about those when quoting this verse as the host did. It ONLY makes sense to use Sola Scriptura because it is God's Word and we are called to use God's entire Word (2 Timothy 3:16), put on the Whole Armor of God (Ephesians 6), and use the Whole Counsel of God to love, honor, & obey God (Acts 20:27) ... AND ... and, grace through faith alone, not of works so no man may boast--God's gift of salvation is free (Ephesians 2:8-10). Works are a result of submission to Jesus (the Bible), not trying to reach Jesus as Catholics teach (Catholic Bible). Why 'o' why do you, Catholics, not listen to God's Word?

+Joseph Christian Cruz Oh, we do listen to God's written Word. ALL of it, all 73 books of the written Word. And there within is never found the doctrines of Sola Scriptura or Sola Fide... Sola Scriptura is a logically self-refuting concept. For it to be true, there would have to be a plain statement within Scripture that all revealed truth is found in the 66 books of your Bible. But to accept the idea that the Bible is composed of those 66 books and those only, you'd need to find within them a plain presentation of what writings the BIble is composed of. Yet you won't find it. There is no inspired table of contents within the Bible, so you are accepting information from OUTSIDE Scripture to tell you something you consider infallible. Therein lies the contradiction: You lean on an extra-Biblical source to tell you what composes the Bible as the the only source of revealed truth. Sola Fide is contradicted by Jesus, Peter, Paul, etc. You'll find statements that other things besides faith are required: baptism, love, obedience to name a few. It all adds up to the fact that once born again, adopted into God's family, we still have the capacity the reject our inheritance (heaven). That's why Paul stated in 1Cor "24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.". You see, we still have free will and the tendency to sin. It is a fact that God will never disinherit us, but we can disinherit ourselves. We cannot earn our salvation, but we can earn to lose it, by neglecting to let grace work in us and committing mortal sin. Sola Fide is a dangerous thing. It can result in a person not realizing that he needs to repent of some serious sin he might have committed and his soul might be in danger without him realizing his precarious situation. True Christian doctrine causes us to realize that our sins can separate us from God, to analyze ourselves, to train ourselves (all by God's grace, of course), and in that way persevere in His good graces.

+Joseph Christian Cruz Simply said, yes... historically accurate, no. Documentary history shows that circa 400 AD the Christian Church's Bible was definitively recognized. That canon consisted of the 73 books found in modern Catholic Bibles. That canon was universal, all Christians accepted them as Scripture, until the deuterocanonical writings were cast aside by Luther, et al. The Church's Council of Trent (the council which addressed the protests of the day) did not add those books, it merely reiterated what was always accepted as Scripture. Whether you accept the 73-book canon or the 66-book canon, you are relying on extra-biblical source to inform you what composes the written Word of God. That contradicts the basic tenant of Sola Scriptura (that all revealed truth is found in the 66-book canon.). Otherwise you'd have to say the canon is not an infallible list, which means you must be open to the idea that the 66-book list is possibly wrong. Meanwhile, Catholics don't suffer from that logical quandry. We know that the Church Jesus founded was responsible for informing us what is to be considered Scripture. Jesus' Church is prevented by His Spirit from officially teaching error as Truth (since He said "He who hears you, hears me" to the first bishops, Apostles, and by extension, their successors, the bishops down through the ages). So, we have an infallible canon of Scripture, which is composed of 73 books.

+Joseph Christian Cruz You're not even listening. You've just decided you're right and that Catholics are wrong.

Question: "What is the origin of the Catholic Church?" Answer: The Roman Catholic Church contends that its origin is the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ in approximately AD 30. The Catholic Church proclaims itself to be the church that Jesus Christ died for, the church that was established and built by the apostles. Is that the true origin of the Catholic Church? On the contrary. Even a cursory reading of the New Testament will reveal that the Catholic Church does not have its origin in the teachings of Jesus or His apostles. In the New Testament, there is no mention of the papacy, worship/adoration of Mary (or the immaculate conception of Mary, the perpetual virginity of Mary, the assumption of Mary, or Mary as co-redemptrix and mediatrix), petitioning saints in heaven for their prayers, apostolic succession, the ordinances of the church functioning as sacraments, infant baptism, confession of sin to a priest, purgatory, indulgences, or the equal authority of church tradition and Scripture. So, if the origin of the Catholic Church is not in the teachings of Jesus and His apostles, as recorded in the New Testament, what is the true origin of the Catholic Church? For the first 280 years of Christian history, Christianity was banned by the Roman Empire, and Christians were terribly persecuted. This changed after the “conversion” of the Roman Emperor Constantine. Constantine provided religious toleration with the Edict of Milan in AD 313, effectively lifting the ban on Christianity. Later, in AD 325, Constantine called the Council of Nicea in an attempt to unify Christianity. Constantine envisioned Christianity as a religion that could unite the Roman Empire, which at that time was beginning to fragment and divide. While this may have seemed to be a positive development for the Christian church, the results were anything but positive. Just as Constantine refused to fully embrace the Christian faith, but continued many of his pagan beliefs and practices, so the Christian church that Constantine promoted was a mixture of true Christianity and Roman paganism. Constantine found that, with the Roman Empire being so vast, expansive, and diverse, not everyone would agree to forsake his or her religious beliefs to embrace Christianity. So, Constantine allowed, and even promoted, the “Christianization” of pagan beliefs. Completely pagan and utterly unbiblical beliefs were given new “Christian” identities. Some clear examples of this are as follows: (1) The Cult of Isis, an Egyptian mother-goddess religion, was absorbed into Christianity by replacing Isis with Mary. Many of the titles that were used for Isis, such as “Queen of Heaven,” “Mother of God,” and theotokos (“God-bearer”) were attached to Mary. Mary was given an exalted role in the Christian faith, far beyond what the Bible ascribes to her, in order to attract Isis worshippers to a faith they would not otherwise embrace. Many temples to Isis were, in fact, converted into temples dedicated to Mary. The first clear hints of Catholic Mariology occur in the writings of Origen, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, which happened to be the focal point of Isis worship. (2) Mithraism was a religion in the Roman Empire in the 1st through 5th centuries AD. It was very popular among the Romans, especially among Roman soldiers, and was possibly the religion of several Roman emperors. While Mithraism was never given “official” status in the Roman Empire, it was the de facto official religion until Constantine and succeeding Roman emperors replaced Mithraism with Christianity. One of the key features of Mithraism was a sacrificial meal, which involved eating the flesh and drinking the blood of a bull. Mithras, the god of Mithraism, was “present” in the flesh and blood of the bull, and when consumed, granted salvation to those who partook of the sacrificial meal (this is known as theophagy, the eating of one’s god). Mithraism also had seven “sacraments,” making the similarities between Mithraism and Roman Catholicism too many to ignore. Church leaders after Constantine found an easy substitute for the sacrificial meal of Mithraism in the concept of the Lord’s Supper/Christian communion. Even before Constantine, some early Christians had begun to attach mysticism to the Lord’s Supper, rejecting the biblical concept of a simple and worshipful remembrance of Christ’s death and shed blood. The Romanization of the Lord’s Supper made the transition to a sacrificial consumption of Jesus Christ, now known as the Catholic Mass/Eucharist, complete. (3) Most Roman emperors (and citizens) were henotheists. A henotheist is one who believes in the existence of many gods, but focuses primarily on one particular god or considers one particular god supreme over the other gods. For example, the Roman god Jupiter was supreme over the Roman pantheon of gods. Roman sailors were often worshippers of Neptune, the god of the oceans. When the Catholic Church absorbed Roman paganism, it simply replaced the pantheon of gods with the saints. Just as the Roman pantheon of gods had a god of love, a god of peace, a god of war, a god of strength, a god of wisdom, etc., so the Catholic Church has a saint who is “in charge” over each of these, and many other categories. Just as many Roman cities had a god specific to the city, so the Catholic Church provided “patron saints” for the cities. (4) The supremacy of the Roman bishop (the papacy) was created with the support of the Roman emperors. With the city of Rome being the center of government for the Roman Empire, and with the Roman emperors living in Rome, the city of Rome rose to prominence in all facets of life. Constantine and his successors gave their support to the bishop of Rome as the supreme ruler of the church. Of course, it is best for the unity of the Roman Empire that the government and state religion be centralized. While most other bishops (and Christians) resisted the idea of the Roman bishop being supreme, the Roman bishop eventually rose to supremacy, due to the power and influence of the Roman emperors. When the Roman Empire collapsed, the popes took on the title that had previously belonged to the Roman emperors-Pontifex Maximus. Many more examples could be given. These four should suffice in demonstrating the origin of the Catholic Church. Of course, the Roman Catholic Church denies the pagan origin of its beliefs and practices. The Catholic Church disguises its pagan beliefs under layers of complicated theology and “church tradition.” Recognizing that many of its beliefs and practices are utterly foreign to Scripture, the Catholic Church is forced to deny the authority and sufficiency of Scripture. The origin of the Catholic Church is the tragic compromise of Christianity with the pagan religions that surrounded it. Instead of proclaiming the gospel and converting the pagans, the Catholic Church “Christianized” the pagan religions, and “paganized” Christianity. By blurring the differences and erasing the distinctions, yes, the Catholic Church made itself attractive to the people of the Roman Empire. One result was the Catholic Church becoming the supreme religion in the Roman world for centuries. However, another result was the most dominant form of Christianity apostatizing from the true gospel of Jesus Christ and the true proclamation of God’s Word. Second Timothy 4:3-4 declares, “For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” Recommended Resources: Reasoning from the Scriptures with Catholics by Ron Rhodes and Logos Bible Software.

Stephen Meehan "What is the origin of the Catholic Church?" "The blessed Apostles, then, founded and built up the church in Rome. They committed the office of bishop into the hands of Linus. Of this, Linus, Paul makes mention in the Epistles to Timothy. To him succeeded Anacletus. After him, in the third place from the Apostles, Clement was allotted the office of bishop." St. Irenaeus ("Against All Heresies," c. 180 A.D.) "But since it would take too long to set out here the successions of all the churches, we shall turn to that great, ancient and universally known church founded and organized at Rome by the two most glorious apostles Peter and Paul, and we shall show that the tradition it has received of the apostles and the faith that it preaches to men has come down to our time through the regular succession of its bishops; and thus we shall confute all those who, in whatever way, whether by self-complacency, vainglory, blindness or error, enter into unauthorized assemblies. For it is with this Roman church, by reason of its more powerful pre-eminence that every other church, that is to say all the faithful everywhere, ought to agree, inasmuch as in this church the apostolic tradition has been preserved continuously by those who come from everywhere." St. Irenaeus ("Against All Heresies," c. 180 A.D.) "Cornelius was made bishop by the judgment of God and of His Christ. This was by the testimony of almost all the clergy, by the election of the people who were then present, and by the assembly of ancient priests and good men.... This occurred when the place of Fabian, that is, when the place of Peter and the degree of the priestly chair, was vacant." St. Cyprian Of Carthage("Epistle 53 to Antonius," c. 250 A.D.) "On him (Peter) He builds the Church, and to him He gives the command to feed the sheep, and although He assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet He founded a single chair (cathedra), and He established by His own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity.... If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he (should) desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church?" St. Cyprian Of Carthage ("On the Unity of the Catholic Church," 251 A.D.) "In the power of the same Holy Spirit, Peter, both the chief of the apostles and the keeper of the keys of the kingdom of Heaven, in the name of Christ healed Aeneas the paralytic atLydda, which is now called Diospolis (Acts 9:32-34)." St. Cyril of Jerusalem ("Catechetical Lectures" c. 350 A.D.) "[Jesus said:] Simon, my follower, I have made you the foundation of the holy Church. I betimes called you Peter, because you will support all its buildings. You are the inspector of those who will build on Earth a Church for me. If they should wish to build what is false, you, the foundation, will condemn them. You are the head of the fountain from which my teaching flows; you are the chief of my disciples. Through you I will give drink to all peoples. Yours is that life-giving sweetness which I dispense. I have chosen you to be, as it were, the first-born in my institution so that, as the heir, you may be executor of my treasures. I have given you the keys of my kingdom. Behold, I have given you authority over all my treasures." St. Ephraim of Syria ("Homily 4," c. 351 A.D.) "In the city of Rome the episcopal chair was given first to Peter, the chair in which Peter sat, the same who was head--that is why he is also called Cephas ['Rock']--of all the apostles, the one chair in which unity is maintained by all. Neither do the apostles proceed individually on their own, and anyone who would [presume to] set up another chair in opposition to that single chair would, by that very fact, be a schismatic and a sinner. . . . Recall, then, the origins of your chair, those of you who wish to claim for yourselves the title of holy Church." St. Optatus ("The Schism of the Donatists," c. 367 A.D.) "[Christ] made answer: 'You are Peter, and upon this rock will I build my Church . . .' Could he not, then, strengthen the faith of the man to whom, acting on his own authority, he gave the kingdom, whom he called the rock, thereby declaring him to be the foundation of the Church [Matt. 16:18]?" St. Ambrose of Milan ("The Faith," c. 379 A.D.) "They (the Novatian heretics) have not the succession of Peter, who hold not the chair of Peter, which they rend by wicked schism; and this, too, they do, wickedly denying that sins can be forgiven (by the sacrament of confession) even in the Church, whereas it was said to Peter: 'I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of Heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt bind on Earth, shall be bound in Heaven, and whatsoever thou shall loose on Earth shall be loosed in Heaven.'" St. Ambrose of Milan ("On Penance," 388 A.D.) "It is to Peter that He says: 'You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church' (Matthew 16:18). Where Peter is, there is the Church. And where the Church, no death is there, but life eternal." St. Ambrose of Milan ("Commentary on Twelve Psalms of David" c. 389 A.D.) "(Pope) Stephen . . . was the blessed Peter's twenty-second successor in the See of Rome." St. Jerome ("Against the Luciferians" c. 383 A.D.) "'But,' you [Jovinian] will say, 'it was on Peter that the Church was founded' [Matt. 16:18]. Well . . . one among the twelve is chosen to be their head in order to remove any occasion for division." St. Jerome ("Against Jovinian," c. 393 A.D.) "I think it is my duty to consult the chair of Peter, and to turn to a church (Rome) whose faith has been praised by Paul. I appeal for spiritual food to the church whence I have received the garb of Christ." St. Jerome ("Letter 15," 396 A.D.) "I follow no leader but Christ and join in communion with none, but the chair of Peter. I know that this is the rock on which the Church has been built. Whoever eats the Lamb outside this house is profane. Anyone who is not in the ark of Noah will perish when the flood prevails." St. Jerome ("Letter 15," 396 A.D.) "Simon Peter, the son of John, from the village of Bethsaida in the province of Galilee, brother of Andrew the apostle, and himself chief of the apostles, after having been bishop of the church of Antioch and having preached to the Dispersion . . . pushed on to Rome in the second year of Claudius to over-throw Simon Magus, and held the sacerdotal chair there for twenty-five years until the last, that is the fourteenth, year of Nero. At his hands he received the crown of martyrdom being nailed to the cross with his head towards the ground and his feet raised on high, asserting that he was unworthy to be crucified in the same manner as his Lord." St. Jerome ("Lives of Illustrious Men," c. 396 A.D.) "If all men throughout the world were such as you most vainly accuse them of having been, what has the chair of the Roman church done to you, in which Peter sat, and in whichAnastasius sits today?" St. Augustine of Hippo ("Against the Letters of Petilani" c. 402 A.D.) "Among these [apostles] Peter alone almost everywhere deserved to represent the whole Church. Because of that representation of the Church, which only he bore, he deserved to hear 'I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven.'" St. Augustine of Hippo ("Sermon 295," c. 411 A.D.) "If the very order of episcopal succession is to be considered, how much more surely, truly and safely do we number them from Peter himself, to whom, as to one representing the whole Church, the Lord said, 'Upon this rock I will build my Church...' Peter was succeeded by Linus, Linus by Clement, Clement by Anacletus, Anacletus by Evaristus...." St. Augustine of Hippo ("Letter 53," 412 A.D.) "Who is ignorant that the first of the apostles is the most blessed Peter?" St. Augustine of Hippo ("Commentary on John," c. 416 A.D.) "Steadfast in the fear of God, and in faith immovable, upon [St. Patrick] as upon Peter the [Irish] church is built; and he has been allotted his apostleship by God; against him the gates of Hell prevail not." St. Sechnall of Ireland ("Hymn in Praise of St. Patrick," c. 444 A.D.) catholic-defense.com/papacy2.htm

Stephen Meehan What is the origin of the Catholic Church? Let's ask the early Christians! Even the earliest writings of the Church testify to the fact that the Bishop of Rome held the Primacy over all the churches: St. Dionysius of Corinth (170 AD), who writes to Pope Soter of Rome, and says: "Today we kept the Holy Day, the Lord's Day (Sunday), and on it we read your letter (Pope Soter's epistle). And we shall ever have it with us to give us instruction, even as the former one written through Clement." (Dionysius Epistle to Pope Soter) Here we not only see the church of Corinth taking instruction from the church of Rome, but we see that the Corinthians had a long-standing tradition of taking such instruction -- still retaining the epistle of St. Clement, which was sent to them some 80 years before. And Dionysius continues to address the Roman bishop, saying: "You have also, by your very admonition, brought together the planting that was made by Peter and Paul at Rome and at Corinth; for both of them alike planted in our Corinth and taught us; and both alike, teaching similarly in Italy, suffered martyrdom at the same time." And, he continues: "For from the beginning, it has been your custom to do good to all the brethren in various ways and to send contributions to all the churches in every city....This custom your blessed bishop, Soter, has not only preserved, but is out-doing, by furnishing an abundance of supplies to the saints, and by urging with consoling words, as a loving father to his children, the brethren who are journeying." So Dionysius refers to the bishop of Rome as a "father" ( i.e. the root of the word "Pope" (1 Cor 4:15; Phil 2:22; 1 Thess 2:11; 1 Tim 5:1; etc), speaking of the Christians in every city as his "children," whom he "urges," "consoles," and provides for -- Dionysius says that this has been the custom of the Roman church "from the beginning." (www.biblicalcatholic.com/apologetics/a87.htm) Tradition / Church FathersI. Peter is the Rock on which the Church is Built: “Peter, who is called 'the rock on which the church should be built,' who also obtained 'the keys of the kingdom of heaven...'” Tertullian, On the Prescription Against the Heretics, 22 (c. A.D. 200). “And Peter, on whom the Church of Christ is built, against which the gates of hell shall not prevail...” Origen, Commentary on John, 5:3 (A.D. 232). “By this Spirit Peter spake that blessed word, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' By this Spirit the rock of the Church was established.” Hippolytus, Discourse on the Holy Theophany, 9 (ante A.D. 235). “'...thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church' ... It is on him that he builds the Church, and to him that he entrusts the sheep to feed. And although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single Chair, thus establishing by his own authority the source and hallmark of the (Church's) oneness...If a man does not fast to this oneness of Peter, does he still imagine that he still holds the faith. If he deserts the Chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, has he still confidence that he is in the Church?” Cyprian, De Unitate Ecclesiae (Primacy text), 4 (A.D. 251). “...folly of (Pope) Stephen, that he who boasts of the place of the episcopate, and contends that he holds the succession from Peter, on whom the foundation of the Church were laid...” Firmilian, Epistle To Cyprian, Epistle 75(74):17(A.D. 256). “...Peter, that strongest and greatest of all the apostles, and the one who on account of his virtue was the speaker for all the others...” Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, 2:14 (A.D. 325). “And Peter,on whom the Church of Christ is built, 'against which the gates of hell shall not prevail'” Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, 6:25 (A.D. 325).“...the chief of the disciples...the Lord accepted him, set him up as the foundation, called him the rock and structure of the church.” Aphraates, De Paenitentibus Homily 7:15 (A.D. 337). “Peter, the foremost of the Apostles, and Chief Herald of the Church...” Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures,1 1:3 (A.D. 350). “Blessed Simon, who after his confession of the mystery was set to be the foundation-stone of the Church, and received the keys of the kingdom...” Hilary de Poiters, On the Trinity, 6:20(A.D. 359). “For the good of unity blessed Peter, for whom it would have been enough if after his denial he had obtained pardon only, deserved to be placed before all the apostles, and alone received the keys of the kingdom of heaven, to be communicated to the rest.” Optatus of Milevis, De Schismate Donatistorum, 7:3(A.D. 370). “[T]he Lord spoke to Peter a little earlier; he spoke to one, that from one he might found unity, soon delivering the same to all.” Pacian, To Sympronianus, Epistle 3:2 (AD 372). "Simon, My follower, I have made you the foundation of the Holy Church. I betimes called you Peter (Kepha), because you will support all its buildings. You are the inspector of those who will build on earth a Church for me...I have given you the keys of my kingdom. Behold, have given you authority over all my treasures." Ephraim, Homily 4:1, (A.D. 373). “[T]he first of the apostles, the solid rock on which the Church was built.” Epiphanius, In Ancorato, 9:6 (A.D. 374). “Peter upon which rock the Lord promised that he would build his church.” Basil, In Isaias, 2:66 (A.D. 375). “As I follow no leader save Christ, so I communicate with none but your blessedness, that is with the chair of Peter. For this, I know, is the rock on which the church is built!” Jerome, To Pope Damasus, Epistle 15 (A.D. 375). “Seest thou that of the disciples of Christ, all of whom were exalted and deserving of choice, one is called rock, and is entrusted with the foundations of the church.” Gregory of Nazianzen, Oration 32:18 (A.D. 380). “[W]e have considered that it ought be announced that although all the Catholic Churches spread abroad through the world comprise one bridal chamber of Christ, nevertheless, the holy Roman Church has been placed at the forefront not by conciliar decisions of other churches, but has received the primacy by the evangelic voice of our Lord and Savior, who says: "You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it..."...The first see, therefore, is that of Peter the Apostle, that of the Roman Church, which has neither the stain nor blemish nor anything like it.” Pope Damasus, Decree of Damasus, 3 (A.D. 382). ”It was right indeed that he (Paul) should be anxious to see Peter; for he was the first among the apostles, and was entrusted by the Savior with the care of the churches.” Ambrosiaster, Commentary on Galatians, PL 17:344 (A.D. 384). "Peter bore the person of the church.” Augustine, Sermon 149:7 (inter A.D. 391-430). “Number the priests even from that seat of Peter. And in that order of fathers see to whom succeeded: that is the rock which the proud gates of hades do not conquer.” Augustine, Psalmus contro Partem Donati (A.D. 393). “But you say, the Church was rounded upon Peter: although elsewhere the same is attributed to all the Apostles, and they all receive the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and the strength of the Church depends upon them all alike, yet one (Peter) among the twelve is chosen so that when a head has been appointed, there may be no occasion for schism.” Jerome, Against Jovinianus, 1 (A.D. 393). “The memory of Peter, who is the head of the apostles...he is the firm and most solid rock, on which the savior built his Church.” Gregory of Nyssa, Panegyric on St. Stephen, 3 (ante A.D. 394).“Thou art Peter and upon this Rock I will build my Church,” Wherefore where Peter is the Church is...” Ambrose, Commentary on the Psalms, 40:30 (AD 395). “At length, after being tempted by the devil, Peter is set over the Church.” Ambrose, Commentary on the Psalms, 43:40 (AD 397). “In order that he may show his power, God has endowed none of his disciples with gifts like Peter. But, having raised him with heavenly gifts, he has set him above all. And, as first disciple and greater among the brethren, he has shown, by the test of deeds, the power of the Spirit. The first to be called, he followed at once...The Saviour confided to this man, as some special trust, the whole universal Church, after having asked him three times 'Lovest thou me?' And he receive the world in charge...” Asterius, Homily 8 (A.D. 400). "(Peter) The first of the Apostles, the foundation of the Church, the coryphaeus of the choir of disciples." John Chrysostom, Ad eos qui scandalizati 17(ante A.D. 407). “Peter, that head of the Apostles, the first in the Church, the friend of Christ, who received revelation not from man but from the Father...this Peter, and when I say Peter, I mean that unbroken Rock, the unshaken foundation, the great Apostle, the first of the disciples, the first called, the first to obey.” John Chrysostom, De Eleemosyna, 3:4 (ante A.D. 407). “This Peter on whom Christ freely bestowed a sharing in his name. For just as Christ is the rock, as the Apostle Paul taught, so through Christ Peter is made rock, when the Lord says to him: "Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church...” Maximus of Turin, Homily 63 (A.D. 408) .“...the most firm rock, who (Peter) from the principal Rock received a share of his virtue and his name.” Prosper of Aquitaine, The Call of All Nations, 2:28(A.D. 426). “He promises to found the church, assigning immovableness to it, as He is the Lord of strength, and over this he sets Peter as shepherd.” Cyril of Alexandria, Commentary on Matthew (A.D. 428). “[B]ut that great man, the disciple of disciples, that master among masters, who wielding the government of the Roman Church possessed the authority in faith and priesthood. Tell us therefore, tell us we beg of you, Peter, prince of the Apostles, tell us how the churches must believe in God.” John Cassian, Contra Nestorium, 3:12 (A.D. 430). “There is no doubt, and in fact it has been known in all ages, that the holy and most blessed Peter, prince and head of the Apostles, pillar of faith, and foundation of the Catholic Church, received the keys of the kingdom from our Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior and Redeemer of the human race, and that to him was given the power of loosing and binding sins: who down even to to-day and forever, lives and judges in his successors. The holy and most blessed Pope Celestine, according to due order, is his successor and holds his place...” Philip, Council of Ephesus, Session III (A.D. 431). “[B]lessed Peter preserving in the strength of the Rock, which he has received, has not abandoned the helm of the Church, which he under took...And so if anything is rightly done and rightly decreed by us, if anything is won from the mercy of God by our daily supplications, it is of his work and merits whose power lives and whose authority prevails in his See...to him whom they know to be not only the patron of this See, but also primate of all bishops. When therefore...believe that he is speaking whose representative we are:..” Pope Leo the Great, Sermon 3:3-4 (A.D. 442). “We exhort you, honourable brother, to submit yourself in all things to what has been written by the blessed Bishop of Rome, because St. Peter, who lives and presides in his see, gives the true faith to those who seek it. For our part, for the sake of peace and the good of the faith, we cannot judge questions of doctrine without the consent of the Bishop of Rome.” Peter Chrysologus, Epistle 25 of Leo from Peter (A.D. 449). “If Paul, the herald of the truth, the trumpet of the Holy Ghost, hastened to the great Peter in order that he might carry from him the desired solution of difficulties to those at Antioch who were in doubt about living in conformity with the law, much more do we, men insignificant and small, hasten to your apostolic see in order to receive from you a cure for the wounds of the churches. For every reason it is fitting for you to hold the first place, inasmuch as your see is adorned with many privileges.” Theodoret of Cyrus, To Pope Leo, Epistle 113 (A.D. 449). “[T]he Lord wished to be indeed the concernn of all the Apostles: and from him as from the Head wishes His gifts to flow to all the body: so that any one who dares to secede from Peter's solid rock may understand that he has no part or lot in the divine mystery.” Pope Leo the Great, To Bishops of Vienne, Epistle 10 (A.D. 450). “Wherefore the most holy and blessed Leo, archbishop of the great and elder Rome, through us, and through this present most holy synod together with the thrice blessed and all-glorious Peter the Apostle, who is the rock and foundation of the Catholic Church, and the foundation of the orthodox faith...” Council of Chalcedon, Session III (A.D. 451). “Wherefore the most holy and blessed Leo, archbishop of the great and elder Rome, through us, and through this present most holy synod together with the thrice blessed and all-glorious Peter the Apostle, who is the rock and foundation of the Catholic Church, and the foundation of the orthodox faith, hath stripped him of the episcopate, and hath alienated from him all hieratic worthiness. 'Peter, the apostle, who is the rock and support of the Catholic Church.'” Paschasinus, Council of Chalcedon, Session III (A.D. 451). “Peter is again called 'the coryphaeus of the Apostles.’” Basil of Seleucia, Oratio 25 (ante A.D. 468). “The holy Roman Church is senior to the other churches not by virtue of any synodal decrees, but obtained the primacy from Our Lord and Savior in the words of the Gospel, 'Thou art Peter...'” Pope Gelasius, Decree of Gelasium (A.D. 492). “[T]he statement of Our Lord Jesus Christ who said, 'Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church,'...These (words) which were spoken, are proved by the effects of the deeds, because in the Apostolic See the Catholic religion has always been preserved without stain.'” Pope Hormisdas, Libellus professionis fidei, (A.D. 519).“To Peter, that is, to his church, he gave the power of retaining and forgiving sins on earth.” Fulgentius, De Remissione Peccatorum, 2:20 (A.D. 523). “Who could be ignorant of the fact that the holy church is consolidated in the solidity of the prince of the Apostles, whose firmness of character extended to his name so that he should be called Peter after the 'rock', when the voice of the Truth says, 'I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven'. To him again is said "When after a little while thou hast come back to me, it is for thee to be the support of thy brethren.” Pope Gregory the Great, Epistle 40 (A.D. 604). “The decrees of the Roman Pontiff, standing upon the supremacy of the Apostolic See, are unquestionable.” Isidore of Seville, (ante A.D. 636).“For the extremities of the earth, and all in every part of it who purely and rightly confess the Lord, look directly towards the most holy Roman Church and its confession and faith, as it were a sun of unfailing light, awaiting from it the bright radiance of our fathers, according to what the six inspired and holy Councils have purely and piously decreed, declaring most expressly the symbol of faith. For from the coming down of the Incarnate Word among us, all the churches in every part of the world have possessed that greatest church alone as their base and foundation, seeing that, according to the promise of Christ Our Savior, the gates of hell do never prevail against it, that it possesses the Keys of right confession and faith in Him, that it opens the true and only religion to such as approach with piety, and shuts up and locks every heretical mouth that speaks injustice against the Most High.” Maximus the Confessor, Opuscula theologica et polemica (A.D. 650). “Peter was pronounced blessed by the Lord...the duty of feeding the spiritual sheep of the Church under whose protecting shield, this Apostolic Church of his has never turned away from the path of truth in any direction of error, whose authority, as that of the Prince of all the Apostles, the whole Catholic Church and the Ecumenical Synods have faithfully embraced...” Pope Agatho, To Ecumenical Council VI at Constantinople, (A.D. 680). "A copy of the letter sent by the holy and Ecumenical Sixth Council to Agatho, the most blessed and most holy pope of Old Rome…Therefore to thee, as to the bishop of the first see of the Universal Church, we leave what must be done, since you willingly take for your standing ground the firm rock of the faith, as we know from having read your true confession in the letter sent by your fatherly beatitude to the most pious emperor: and we acknowledge that this letter was divinely written (perscriptas) as by the Chief of the Apostles, and through it we have cast out the heretical sect of many errors which had recently sprung up..” Constantinople III, Council to Pope Agatho, (A.D. 680). “For, although the devil desired to sift all the disciples, the Lord testifies that He Himself asked for Peter alone, and wished that the others be confirmed my him; and to Peter also was committed the care of 'feeding the sheep'(John 21:15);and to him also did the Lord hand over the 'keys of the kingdom of heaven'(Matthew 16:19),and upon him did He promise to 'build His Church' (Matthew 16:18);and He testified that 'the gates of Hell would not prevail against it' (Matthew 16:19).” Pope Pelagius II, Quod Ad Dilectionem (c. A.D. 685). “'Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it, and to thee I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven'? When Wilfrid spoken thus, the king said, 'It is true, Colman, that these words were spoken to Peter by our Lord?' He answered, 'It is true O king!' Then says he, 'Can you show any such power given to your Columba?' Colman answered, 'None.' Then added the king, "Do you both agree that these words were principally directed to Peter, and that the keys of heaven were given to him by our Lord?' They both answered, 'We do.'” Venerable Bede, (A.D. 700), Ecclesiastical History, 3:5 (A.D. 700). scripturecatholic.com/the_church.html#scripture_II

Stephen Meehan if it wasn’t for the Catholic Church you wouldn’t have a bible to quote scripture from. The all the objections you raise are easily explained from scripture. If you are a sincere follower of Christ you can and should look them up. In the age of technology it isn’t difficult.

I look forward to that day in Heaven, when all of us former Catholics, along with those involved in reaching Catholics for Christ, will be celebrating that we followed the Holy Spirit's prompting in fleeing false religion, to embrace Jesus Christ in faith and trust as the sole means of our salvation, all to the glory and honor of God the Father - who is the ONLY true Holy Father. Who knows; maybe if you are wise enough and abandon religious pride, you too may be there celebrating with us...I hope so. "Jesus answered and said unto them, Well has Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. However in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men....And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition....Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition" Mark 7:6-13 "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities" Revelation 18:4-5

Stephen please yes I see the piercing persuasion to get people to think Catholocism isn't the true religion... but what u lack is faith .... faith that the first 15 centuries of Christianity was all false until protestants sprung up and had everything figured out nearly missing all of Christianity ... catholic is organic protestant is organized assembled ... man made is actually protestant with faith alone scripture alone etc ... I bet you don't even know the bible came out of the Catholic Church it was a pope who canonized the bible yiur not Muslim today because of the Catholic Church ... The Catholic which means Universal says yiur welcome... Catholocism completes judaism as the true religion ... God doesn't make mistakes let's see a protestant church exist for 2000 years and not go corrupt somewhere oh wait it already has .... In many ways .... faith working thru love my friend ... I could of left the Catholic Church million times but I know too much to know it's the only Church on earth founded by a divine person, God in the person of Jesus Christ .... yours is a fallible man ... come on Stephen if u love Jesus Christ so much why do you persecute his church ... think about it the first church and the holy spirit truly guided the Catholic Church to put together the bible has the most greatest minds in Church history theologically and saint hood ... invented hospitals schools Churches haha has survived for 2000 years jesus christ said in Matthew 28:20 I will be with you always until the close of the age not a protestant thought at the time only the Catholic Church when Jesus spoke those words and these words John 10:16 I'll let you look it up easier to remember that way ....

Stephen look up journey home on you tube ... you will see video after video after video of protestant scholars going theological and have to study ancient Christianity to find out that what they been teaching was false and protestantism was built on a lie .... many coming to the Catholic church all with doctrines PHDs leaving seminary they do all the homework for you there is so much of Christianity I will assume you have no idea of information that you need to be a complete Christian you will be shocked but your pride will get in way and you will tell yourself ..... I'm right there wrong .... yiu will avoid truth because that's what y I u have been doing to say that ... avoiding truth when you think yiur in truth .... Protestantism is way to shallow .... example how are you going to study 5 centuries of Christianity and that's all .... I'm speaking to a wider audience when I said that .... as c a Catholic we have the toughest and strictest walk of all .... 2000 years to study which makes a huge impact on your voice and understanding of Christianity .... yiu express you love Jesus Christ study his apostles like peter a Catholic he chief pope and in scripture or the least among them Paul he was very Catholic that's all there was

Stephen Meehan I look forward to that day when you and your confused anti-Catholic pals stop trolling every single Catholic site on the internet with your idiotic Catholic-bashing propaganda. Catholics already have Christ, they gave you Christ. You wouldn't have a New Testament without the Catholic Church. I was a "former" Catholic too. When I didn't know anything.

Stephen Meehan Is there even ONE Catholic site I can go to where you aren't posting anti-Catholic propaganda? ONE? I just want to go to ONE. You people certainly are tireless and relentless in your hatred for Catholicism. Why don't you go enjoy your new-found whatever-it-is and leave Catholics alone? Thanks.
