Joe when are you going to start preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ for once, instead of all that gibberish that the Catholic Church is better than any other Church?. You are so wrong in everything you say. The Catholic Church is the prostitute prophesied in Rev 17. and other Churches are her daughters. It's that simple.
BOOM BOOM BOOM! SHAMELESS!
What Joe is preaching is not from God. The word of God contradicts every single word that Joe is saying. Joe is just making things up as he goes along. you can tell that by his facial expressions and body language, he looks possessed. Who on earth is Jerome??!! It sounds like "Rome" with the letters "JE" in front of it.😲
That depends on which Mary this podcast is referring to". There are two Virgin Marys, one is Biblical, and the other is Catholic. The Biblical Mary and the Catholic Mary are not the same. The Biblical Mary was a virgin until after the birth of Jesus". Then, there was this man named Joseph, who was a carpenter and was commanded by God to Marry the Biblical Mary; so the people would think that the baby Mary the wife of Joseph was carrying was Joseph's son; since any unmarried pregnant woman in those days would've been stoned to death... After the Birth of Jesus, the Biblical Mary wasn't a virgin any longer; God blessed the marriage of Mary and Joseph and they had at least 6 children of their own.4 Males and at least two females. In fact, one of the Biblical Mary's sons was named Joseph, after his biological father, Joseph the Carpenter. Mark 6:3 and Matt 13:55-56."NIV" Also the Biblical Mary is still dead in her grave. Not in heaven...John 3:13. That is from the word of God.🤗 The Catholic Mary is a counterfeit, manufactured and invented by the Catholic Church to fit into the Catholic Church's pagan narratives. The Catholic Mary only had one baby boy and named him Jesus, {Not the real Jesus} but a different Jesus. The Catholic Mary is the Queen of the Catholic heaven and will always remain a Virgin, she travels all over the world and only appears to Catholics. The catholic Mary's stories are not from God, but from the Vatican. God doesn't talk gibberish. The Vatican does.👺 {The Catholic Church doesn't believe that the Biblical Mary and her husband Joseph, had an extended Family after the Birth of Jesus, still, the problem is, that the Catholic Church invented a different Mary}.🤐 How crazy is Catholicism, they worship Mary {wrong Mary of course} who was a married woman and gave birth to at least 6 children after the Birth of Jesus, and the Catholic Church forbids its priests from getting married.😂
I think the most efficient example of God's inefficiency is that of the prophets. He could easily spoken to each person directly, but he spoke to the prophets. Who were then despised and killed for sharing the messages of God. And, Jesus even points this out. Another, is the parable of the rich man throwing a wedding feast and his servants sent with the invitations. But, they were rejected. Or, the man who sent his servants and sons to collect his rent for his vineyards. They were all killed too. Which ultimately all point to the humility required to accept this communication method. Going directly to Jesus or the Father is not humble, it is demanding and arrogant.
Say what you will, but the old time criteria for allowing witnesses/cases are pretty sound. Nothing much is absolute or 100% perhaps, but those practices applied judiciously would be much better than the disgusting criminality that now passes for the legal systems of the world.
EPHESIANS 1:1-6 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: 2Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4According as he hath chosen us *in him before the foundation of the world,* that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: *5Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children* by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. Verse 4 is a proof text of Jesus Christs' divinity in that He was before the foundation of the world, not the Christian. The Christian did not exist before the foundation of the world. The predestination is to the ADOPTION OF CHILDREN or the REDEMPTION OF THE BODY. ROMANS 8:22-25 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23And not only they, but ourselves also, *which have the firstfruits of the Spirit,* even we ourselves groan within ourselves, *waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.* *24For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?* *25But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.* A Christian is sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise after trusting the gospel. This is the earnest (down payment) until the redemption of the body which we HOPE for because we wait for it. EPHESIANS 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, *ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,* 14Which is the *earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession,* unto the praise of his glory. EPHESIANS 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, *whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.* ROMANS 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the *Spirit of adoption,* whereby we cry, Abba, Father. A Christian: 1. Believes the gospel. (1 Cor. 15:1-4, Rom. 3:20-28) He is JUSTIFIED by FAITH without the WORKS of the Law. 2. He is sealed with the Holy Spirit of PROMISE, which is the SPIRIT of adoption, or the firstfruits of the Spirit. The Christian is foreknown. (Eph. 1:13, Rom. 8:15, Rom 8:23, 29) 3. He WAITS for the adoption of which he is predestined. (Rom. 8:23,25) 4. At the rapture of the Church he is ADOPTED. (1 Cor. 15:49-53) ROMANS 8:29-30 For whom he did *foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.* *30Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.* Called>Justified-PREDESTINATION-Glorified. Foreknown>known. Being conformed to the image of His Son CANNOT be your sanctification. (Galatians 3:1-4, 1 Cor. 15:49-53, Romans Ch. 7) How can a Christian who has sinful flesh and is corrupt be conformed to the image of a sinless God who was manifest in the flesh? You are conformed to the image at the rapture. Paul states that a man who God Justified, is also Glorified, because it is PREDESTINED. This glorification to a man is YET FUTURE because we wait for it. To God, it is a done deal. Paul uses this predestination in Ephesians 2:6. Obviously we are not there YET, but the Holy Spirit which indwells the believer is omniscient and omnipresent. Our flesh cannot go to heaven. (1 Cor. 15:50) EPHESIAN 2:6 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6And hath raised us up together, *and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:* 1 Cor. 15:49-53 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50Now this I say, brethren, *that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.* 51Behold, I shew you *a mystery;* *We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,* 52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: *for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.* 53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. This mystery is hinted at in John 11:23-26 and is explained by Paul in 1 Thess. 4:13-18. To "inherit the kingdom" or to be Adopted the Christian must be conformed to His image by the rapture. Galatians 3:1-4 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2This only would I learn of you, *Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?* *3Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?* *4Have ye suffered so many things in vain?* if it be yet in vain. Romans 7:24-25 O wretched man that I am! *who shall deliver me from the body of this death?* 25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. *So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.* Foreknowledge is when God KNOWS you (not before the foundation of the world) and you know God. GALATIANS 4:8-9 Howbeit then, *when ye knew not God,* ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. 9But now, *after that ye have known God,* *or rather are known of God,* how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? God knows you (as a son) when you trust the gospel. If you are Justified you are "foreknown". Those that he foreknows He PREDESTINATES to be conformed to His image-the redemption of the body, the adoption of sons, glorification. 1 CORINTHIANS 14:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: *now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.* Paul states that he "knows in part", but at the rapture he shall KNOW even as he is "known". God will KNOW you, and you will KNOW God when you see Him face to face. A man is NOT predestined to be (Saved) Justified, a man IF he is Justified (Saved), is given the SPIRIT of ADOPTION and is PREDESTINED to be ADOPTED (to wit, Rom. 8:23) as a son. Osas is true but should be termed OJPG, (Once Justified Predestined to be Glorified.) God knows the beginning from the end, He knows every man, but "knowing" a son is contingent on trusting the gospel that was given to Paul. God may have known who would trust Him, for He is omniscient, but the knowing here pertains to God knowing a son. The predestination happens after Justification, not before the foundation of the world. The scriptures reveal both Calvinism AND Catholicism as gross HERESIES.
The appalling history of the Roman Catholic Church, its Popes, and the rise of Protestantism, should be reason enough to question an uniterrupted presence of the Holy Spirit.
SUBORDINATIONISM is only Heresy to the R.C.C. in the 4th Cent. A.D. but not Heresy to the Holy Scripture (Bible) of the 1st Cent. A.D. ... Christ Jesus himself acknowledged in Public, "MY FATHER (God/YHWH) IS GREATER THAN I (Christ Jesus)"... (ref. John 14:28)... Father God is only ONE (1) GODHEAD, (1) GOD OF GODS, and (1) JUDGE AMONG GODS (ref. Psalm 82 / Deut. 10:17)... There is only One (1) Father God (YHWH), One (1) Word/Son of God/Christ Jesus, and One (1) Holy Spirit... 3-God in 1... Those Supporting Passages are not beyond what is written, they are BIBLICAL TRUTH without compromise... Analogy... Through the Marriage Vow (Sacrament of Matrimony), 2 separate distinct individual BODIES (Hetero Husband/Male and Hetero Wife/Female) are united as ONE SPIRIT/SOUL... the same analogy... Biblical Trinity is 3 separate distinct individual DIVINITIES/DEITIES (Father, Son/Word, and Holy Spirit) UNITED AS ONE in SPIRIT/Godness... Analogy... the English word FAMILY is a SINGULAR Collective NOUN but it is composed of the Parents and their Children (collective plurality)... however, the Father is not the Mother (in vice-versa), and the Children are not the Parents (in vice-versa)... they have INDIVIDUAL IDENTITIES with their Responsibilities and Duties... But they are ONE (1) FAMILY (singular noun) only... The FATHER is the Head of the Family who bears the Family NAME of all the members... the same analogy... According to the Bible, God (YHWH) does not CHANGE (identity) forever (Alpha and Omega)... (ref. Malachi 3:6)... Christ Jesus was also called Alpha and Omega... why?... because in the Beginning the Word/Son was with God/YHWH (ref. John 1:1)... before the Word/Son became Flesh called Christ Jesus... Prophet Isaiah also Prophesied (ref. Isaiah 9:6) that Christ Jesus will be born to us, and the GOVERNMENT will rest upon His shoulder, and he will be called the Titles, Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, and the Everlasting Father."... WHEN will this be?... During Christ Jesus' Millennial Reign (1000 years) on Earth with an Iron rod when the Government is upon His shoulder... Christ Jesus will NOT be called PRESIDENT, EMPEROR, MAGESTY, or PRIME MINISTER, but will be called the Titles given by Prophet Isaiah as the "EVERLASTING FATHER. PRINCE OF PEACE, WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, MIGHTY GOD" of all Nations on Earth while Christ Jesus' Father God (YHWH) reigned/ruled in Heaven... We do not need the I.Q. of Einstein or Tesla to understand and comprehend this Matter unless we have a CLOSED Heart and Mind person or perhaps a very poor slow I.Q. of a Moron... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen...
True Christians believed that Blessed Mary was a Young VIRGIN Maiden before she gave birth to her FIRSTBORN SON, named Christ Jesus... Angel Gabriel should have never greeted her, "FULL OF GRACE" if she was already Sexually DEVIRGINIZED (lost her sexual Innocence), logically speaking... But NOWHERE in the Scriptural manuscript that tells/reveals from God (YHWH) that Blessed Mary is a PERPETUAL VIRGIN, IMMACULATE CONCEPTION, or ASSUMPTION/ASCENSION of Mary... It was invented and proclaimed by the R.C.C. in 1854 A.D. by Pope Pius IX the Dogma of Immaculate Conception, 4 years ahead of the Revelation and Apparition of Mary to Bernadette Souvirous in Lourdes, France, 1858 A.D... Revelation from God in Heaven must come first before the proclamation of the Dogma from the Church, and not the other way around... Analogy... just like the Prophesies that came from the O.T. that were fulfilled in the N.T. and some will be fulfilled in the End Times... the same analogy... NO PROPHECY that says, "HA ALMAH" (The Young Woman/Maiden) will forever be VIRGIN (HA ALMAH BETULAH)... R.C.C. Perpetual Virginity Dogma. St. Paul strictly warned us and said, "DO NOT GO BEYOND WHAT IS WRITTEN." (ref. 1 Corinthians 4:6)...Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen.
So, you believe in the heresy of Subordinationism which is the heresy that claims that the Son and the Holy Spirit are subordinate to the Father. That is a heresy from the fourth century. If you are claiming that the Trinity is three separate gods, that would be the heresy of tri-theism that also came around in the fourth century.

True Christian believers believed in the Biblical TRINITY (3-God in 1), and not the R.C.C. TRINITY wherein the Father God and Son are EQUAL wherein the Greek Orthodox Church also rejected when R.C.C. added the word "FILIOQUE" Controversy which started the Great Schism... and also NOT the ONENESS (Nestorian Heresy) TRINITY (1-God in 3), wherein the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are the "SAME ONE"... Father God (YHWH) is also the WORD/SON/Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit... ONE (1) GOD with 3 Split-Personalities... True Christians believe that Christ Jesus is also God from John's Gospel... "In the beginning, the WORD (Son) was with God (YHWH), and the WORD (Son) is God... (and so on)."... The WORD/SON is in the Bosom of God (YHWH)... (ref. John 1:1 / 1:18)... The Biblical TRINITY means 3 Separate Distinct Individual DIVINITIES/DEITIES (Father God, Word/Son of God/Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit) working together, "UNITED as ONE." Before Father God (YHWH) released the Word/Son from His Bosom, God said, "This day (Today), I have Begotten THEE (Word/Son/Christ Jesus)." (ref. Psalm 2:7)... therefore, Father God is now a separate distinct individual Divinity with His Word/Son before God sent His Word/Son to manifest into FLESH and dwelt among us (human beings)... However, the WORD/Son of God/Christ Jesus always obediently follows/obeys with total submission to His Father God's WILL... Christ said, "Anyone who DOES the WILL of My Father God (YHWH) is My mother, brother, and sister."... (ref. Matt. 12:50)... The English word TRINITY comes from 2 root words, TRI which means 3, and UNITY means United as One... however, UNITY does not mean EQUALITY... Father God is still the GODHEAD, GOD OF GODS, and JUDGE AMONG GODS (ref. Psalm 82 / Deut. 10:17)... Christ Jesus acknowledged when he declared, "MY FATHER IS GREATER THAN I." (ref. John 14:28)... Both the WORD/Son of God/Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit PROCEEDS from the Father God (YHWH)... Both were sent by Father God (YHWH) according to the Holy Scriptures... Christ Jesus claimed that the SPOKEN WORDS that He had spoken did not come from Himself, but from the ONE who sent Him, which is His Father God (YHWH)... (Ref. John 12:49)... Father God (YHWH) who will decide WHEN will be the "DAY and the HOUR," that God (YHWH) will send His Son (Christ Jesus) back to Earth to Wage War with the UNHOLY TRINITY (Satan, AntiChrist, and False Prophet) and to Reign for 1000 years with an Iron Rod... "No one knows the DAY and the HOUR, neither the Angels nor God's Son (Christ Jesus), but only the Father God (YHWH)... (ref. Matt. 24:36). Father God is the ARCHITECT and DECISION maker and the WORD/Son of God is the executioner of all GOD'S PLAN... It was Father God's (YHWH) Idea and decision to create Man in their own Image and Likeness by inviting His Son/Word, "LET US (plural pronoun) CREATE MAN IN OUR (plural pronoun) IMAGE AND LIKENESS." (ref. Genesis 1:26)... Take note: When God (YHWH) was creating EVERYTHING, the WORD/SON was not yet sent to the world to manifest into FLESH... and whatever God Decided and Planned, the WORD/SON obediently followed, obeyed, and executed His Father God's WILL (no question asked). Therefore, we (true Christians) believe that Christ Jesus' PREPARED BODY (ref. Hebrews 10:5) that was created by His Father God (YHWH) and was CONCEIVED by the Holy Spirit before it was placed on the WOMB of Blessed Mary as a Fertilized Eggcell (Fetus) is a real HUMAN BEING (Flesh/Body), but the SPIRIT that dwelt inside the Prepated Body is the WORD/Son of God... "Blessed is the WOMB that bears the Son of God." (ref. Luke 11:27-28)... In other words, Christ Jesus has 2 Natures... the Prepared Body (flesh/Christ Jesus) and the Divine Being (Spirit/Word/Son of God) which from the beginning was with Father God (YHWH), who also God in Nature... Facts and Truth of the Matter, Biblically and Logically speaking... Amen.
Don’t ever stop clearing out the lies in Christendom. Former Protestant here, gonna do confession soon and have been attending mass because of Catholic Answers work
I can’t find the essay you are referring to. Does someone have a link to that?

So is it possible that the way Joshua wrote about killing the whole of the people, was it possible he wrote how be felt. That he felt like he killed their whole population?

I am Anglo-Catholic, which is part of the Church of England. 1) I believe The Word became flesh, yes. I also believe the body and blood are present in the bread and wine of the Eucharist. The priest consumes any of the Eucharist left afterwards. 2) I celebrate Easter on Sundays, didn't know until now that others celebrated on a different day. 3) When I am fasting, I take the Eucharist. I do not see it as necessarily breaking my fast, it adds to my fast for me. 4) I believe in penance and reconciliation. The number of times I've "left" the church and come back 😬. 5) I make the sign of the cross, as well as receiving it with ashes and anointing oil from a priest. 6) The validity comes from Christ. Every other human has sinned, they can be forgiven.
Sign of the cross does piss off satan. I can confirm.
How is a man Justified? What does Apostle Paul say in Romans? ROMANS 4:1-10 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3For what saith the scripture? *Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.* 6Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. *10How was it then reckoned?* when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? *Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.* Abraham was reckoned righteousness by believing God. Believing what? [discussed later] A man is Justified or reckoned righteousness by FAITH, not works. This is a plain reading of the scripture. David was shown mercy and grace as he committed ADULTERY and MURDER and could have been stoned under the Law, yet was imputed righteousness by GOD. Paul then asks the 100,000 dollar question: 10How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. In James Justification is by faith AND WORKS: James 2:21-24 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? *21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?* 22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, *and by works was faith made perfect?* 23And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. *24Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.* James 2:21-24 and Romans 4:4-10 CONTRADICT if applied to the same man at the same time OR if applied to the same group of people. According to James, Abraham's faith was made PERFECT by WORKS. What does Paul say? GALATIANS 3:1-4 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2This only would I learn of you, *Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?* *3Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?* 4Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. Not only is our faith NOT perfected by works (VERSE 3) our salvation is received by the HEARING OF FAITH. Abraham was reckoned righteousness by believing God. Believing what? [discussed later] [now answered] Found in the SAME CHAPTER of Romans Chapter 4! ROMANS 4:16-25 16Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: 20He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 23Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 24But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. Paul is not referring to Abraham offering Isaac, for this passage talks of Abraham trusting that he would have OFFSPRING. Abraham was the father of MANY NATIONS, and two are typified in Genesis Chapter 22:16-18. QUESTION: James states that Abraham was Justified by faith and works by offering Isaac. Paul states that a man is NOT Justified by works. Paul asks a rhetorical question: 10How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. When did Abraham offer Isaac? Genesis Chapter 22. When was Abraham CIRCUMCISED? Genesis Chapter 17. When was Abraham Justified according to Paul in Romans 4:10, 16-25? GENESIS 15:1-6 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. 2And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? 3And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. 4And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. 5And he brought him forth abroad, and said, *Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. 6And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.* Where is the work here? The stars of heaven typify the CHURCH. The promise was expanded in Genesis chapter 22 AFTER Abraham offered Isaac: GENESIS 22:16-17 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: 17That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; The sand of the sea shore is the JEWISH NATION. "Possessing the gate of your enemies" is a LAND POSSESSION. Who gets the land of Israel? Christians? Papists? JEWS! It also helps to use the Bible, not a corrupt version: JAMES 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the *twelve tribes* which are scattered abroad, greeting. Which tribe are you? Paul states that there are three groups of people today (1 Cor. 10:32) : Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: 1. Jew 2. gentile 3. Church of God Catholics are NOT the Jews replacement; and unless you are a "Jew" under the Law, before the cross, using the doctrine in James 2:21-24 will NOT Justify a man. The NONSENSE of "saving faith" (found NOWHERE in scripture) is the crutch of Calvinists, Catholics and the majority of christendom because they do not believe what the scripture says, or do not BELIEVE what is written. Paul commanded Timothy to "rightly divide" the scriptures (2 Tim. 2:15). Paul did that very think in dividing the Book of Genesis at Chapter 17 (circumcision) to illustrate a CHRISTIANS Justification by FAITH without the deeds of the Law, and a JEW UNDER THE LAW.
The original church was Jewish, not Roman Catholic. When Christ returns it wiĺl be to Jerusalem and not Rome.
Not one book included in the Bible was written by a Roman Catholic.
My Scripture Professor in Graduate School said that when Jesus was crucified, there had not been a veil in the Temple for 200 years.
if john macarther is right, that we dont need priests, then we sure dont need him either!!!
Paul said the food sacrificed to idols was sacrificed to demons and not to God. Paul does NOT call the cup a sacrifice, and calls it is a table NOT an altar -- that is an argument from omission and in Matthew 5 Jesus was talking to Jews under the Law and referencing the altar in the temple. The Catholic church is satanic heresy.
Should I be a Catholic? Registered in a Catholic School at 5yrs of age the woman paid as if an educator told me my grandmother who had died was burning in hell for all eternity because she was Protestant. At 11yrs a young altar boy told 4 other boys how he was being sexually abused by the priest. He was almost beaten to death for telling this. At 14yrs of age at an invitation to our year of school children we were invited to the Catholic Church Social Gathering. I was given a prize which I gave to a young boy who ate it. He became frenzied and overly exited to the point he was chasing all the girls and running completely wild. I was verbally attacked by the man who gave that prize to me saying if I was too good to accept it I should have given it back to be given to another girl. So tell me should I be a Catholic?
Thank you for this great analysis!

A friend of mine showed me a recorded streaming video of the “worship" in his church. I just skipped the concert introduction and went directly to the sermon. -Why do you skip the worship part? -The concert, the music at the beginning? -Yeah -The worship is the singing part? -Of course! I'm still baffled.
1 pound.... 100 new pence. Old money 1 pound was 20 shillings. So.... 3 shillings... 3/- 15 new pence, not 60p. :-) Two tuppence is less than on new pence! 🙂
Underlying Protestant Assumption! Methinks your assumptions are not what the vast majority of what is believed by Prods. Not one believer I have ever known held to what you say they believed! Have found your method is wide spread among Apologist of all shades, number 1, make a statement which is not true and them prove it to be false! Brilliant!
There couldn’t have been only 1000 Christians in the year 40 because Acts 2:41 says that 3,000 people were added to the church in one day
Great video! One question ... Why did Adam and Eve refrain from sex even though they were married? Especially considering they were commanded to be fruitful and multiply. Whatvwere they waiting for?
Ok, so at the end of the day, the claim is, the church has to be the one that declares the canon. The canon can’t be self attesting, and is dependent on the church for that purpose. This is a claim also of the Eastern Orthodox, Assyrian Orthodox, and the Oriental Orthodox. To boot, they also have the same 3 fold authority structure of Church Scripture and Tradition. They also all differ from the Roman Church on the canon. So what is your foundation for knowing that the Roman Catholic Church is the right church?
Wow! This exposition is so clear. Thanks Joe!
I do and did already understand this but thank you for sharing this! It is importance to do this. There many confused people. It had never come to my mind before.
The two Mary’s found the tomb empty, and Roman’s were guarding the tomb to make sure no one stole his body to make it look like he had risen because they didn’t want the people stirred up
Another evidence that Protestants often overlook is the fact that until Constantine it was a crime to be Christian. Which is relevant in why we don't see devotionals in peoples' homes. Because if you're accused of being a Christian then what stronger evidence is there than finding your daily prayers in your home? And given that having your private prayers written down is a convenience far outwayed by being brutally executed, it's hard to see why anyone would do it. This isn't some sort of slam dunk proof but it is nonetheless important to remember, imo. Not to mention most people at the time weren't even literate so why would they have that written down?

Excellent video once again Joe!
I was raised as a protestant as well, then thought to have found Him in Judaism, but Jesus had mercy on me and opened my eyes 2 years ago. Now I'm Catholic and I finally feel that I came home, in His church!:) Even though I don't need any "evidence" for myself, there are so many around me who have doubts, biased complaints or misconceptions about our faith, messianic Jews included. It was a pleasure to watch your video. Soooo clear and detailed. God bless you for your work and we pray and help that others' hearts will open as well to the full truth as only can be found in the Catholic Church.
The books of the Bible were "decided" the moment God inspired them. Otherwise, you are claiming that God is not sovereign over His own word. It is not for man to "decide" what God has spoken. Man can only ever discover it. It is on this simple truth, that all of the Roman claims about the canon and its own authority over it, completely fall to pieces.
Hello! I'm planning on buying a russian grammar book in order to learn Russian, but I found this book to download freely on a website. This website is an academic website where people can upload their paper, articles, researchings, etc; and people can download them, some for free, other ones buying. I don't know if this russiam grammar book is legally their or if it is piracy. What should I do? I think it is ligal because I have a certain confidence this website is ok, but, at the same time, I'm not a hundred percent sure if they uploaded it legally! Should I give up from using this pdf?
Great video. Thank you very much Joe! God bless you.
Am very thankful to you for the clear and convincing teaching.
You say a lot of things without qualification or reference. You want me to take your Word and you use trendy language, like you have some type of secret I don’t know. I can’t figure out why you would turn your back on the body and blood of Jesus Christ and reject 2k years of tradition. If you were damaged in some way, come back home and be healed.
Two words: Turretin Fan.
So sad that even now we have people, indoctrinated as children, who will defend genocide. This is the damage religion does. Morality is the huge weakness of religion. If Christians would actually read the Bibles, we'd have a lot fewer Christians. If only history had had fewer apologists and more humanists.
Is it out of the blue or out of the white?
Find it amazing your criticisms! Recent poll in the USA showed that over 50% of Catholics do not believe in the real presence or do not know they should. What then or what are they worshiping ? Please give some responses to the question we are asking!
