Jesus keeps his church; his body and bride the Catholic Church from error. Jesus never made the same promise to Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, all their successors and supporters so they keep splitting into thousands of gospels contrary to the one that was taught to the Apostles and preserved by the Catholic Church.

Gebirah (meaning Queen Mother ) is a Hebrew name for the mother of a king. Its mentioned in the Old Testament. These women held power in the Kingship. They were responsible for listening to the common folk and INTERCESSING for them to the King himself. King Solomon appointed his mother Bathsheba ( wife of KingDavid ) to this position. Its no wonder we as Catholics give such importance to Mary 💙 Please help spread the word to others.

@@richardkasper5822 I like how y'all quickly come to that conclusion without any solid reason whatsoever why making mary an idol (queen mother) and an intercessory partner with Christ. And now, I do not dispute your views about queenship and that's if Christ was a king when he was on earth and sat on royalty. But I oppose your interpretation cause Christ was already king before coming to earth, infact he has been king before the world began, so for you to assume the position of Mary his earthly mother as queen, then we all need to know if she was Goddess at a time before becoming human. In my own view, she's a child of her creator even Christ and she believed she was favored to give birth to a son from whence salvation came about.

@jesussaves6575 Mary is not goddess of anything and everytime a Protestant says we worship Her it's a lie plain and simple. We do hold Her in the very highest esteem. Do me a quick favor and do a Google search on these words : Church was destroyed but statue of Mary was untouched. If you do a search on those words you will see an ENDLESS list of Churches around the whole planet where this phenomena is true ! Through earthquakes, fires, tornados and even a few bombings Mary stands untouched. And it's an endless list. Mary is not only special to Catholics and Orthodox Christians She is special to God Himself. God bless you my brother in Christ. And I will pray for you that God shows Mary to you in an undeniable way.

@jesussaves6575 No what God condemned was the worship of the pagan deities. Pagan gods with a small g all have 1 thing in common each God is associated with an animal and very often these gods express the animal trait that they are associated with. These gods include all the Greek and Roman heroes of old. Zues and athena and appollo and hermes are the true pagan gods. As well as being demonic because they consistently change dispositions and are not faithful to those that worship them. In the end they always do evil. But God has given us Jesus and Mary the opposites of adam and eve. And if He wasn't happy with the Catholic faith at all as you claim (?) He would destroy it from the face of the Earth, He would expel us from the garden. Mary gave Jesus His human traits and God gave Jesus His Godliness. Jesus is both God and man in one being. And if you believe the opening verses in the book of John you should also see that Jesus made Mary as His Holy Ark. And what was the purpose of the old Ark ? It was a seat for God who is a spirit and the Ark also housed all the important items that God provided us with the commandments, pot of manna (bread from Heaven) and arrons rod that budded. And what did Mary house for us ? Jesus who found His seat in Mary, Jesus who gave us the new commandments as well as the original 10 , and Jesus who is the sprout from wooden rod as this was representing a high priest, and Jesus as the Eucharist as in the bread from Heaven or the pot of manna. All this was entrusted to be brought into the world by the highly favored Mary.

The quotes you introduce from Westminster and MacArthur have more to do with the perspicuity of Scripture than with the actual definition of Sola Scriptura. They were saying that Scripture is sufficient to lead one to faith in Christ and to teach the believer how to please God. Sola Scriptura is better defined as the the principle that Scripture stands alone as the _highest_ authority.... as the God-breathed divine revelation from God to man, to which no other source of authority is equal. Church councils, traditions, and reason are sources of authority also, but they all are subject to comparison against the Holy Scriptures. This was the guiding principle of the church for roughly 1400 years. "They [the heretics] gather their views from other sources than the Scriptures.” (Irenaeus, Against Heresies, 1.8.1) "It will be your duty, however, to adduce your proofs out of the Scriptures as plainly as we do, when we prove that He made His Word a Son to Himself." (Tertullian, Against Praxeas, 11) “Let the inspired Scripture, then, be our umpire, and the vote of truth will surely be given to those whose dogmas are found to agree with the divine words.” (Gregory of Nyssa, to Eustathius on the Trinity, Dogmatic Treatises, Book 12) For concerning the divine and holy mysteries of the Faith, not even a casual statement must be delivered without the Holy Scriptures; nor must we be drawn aside by mere plausibility and artifices of speech. _Even to me, who tell you these things, give not absolute credence, unless you receive the proof of the things which I announce from the Divine Scriptures._ For this salvation which we believe depends not on ingenious reasoning, but on demonstration of the Holy Scriptures. St. Cyril of Jerusalem (Catechetical Lectures, IV:17, in NPNF, Volume VII, p. 23.) John Chrysostom, in his homily on 2 Thess. 2:15, said: “It is manifest that they [the Apostles] did not deliver all things by Epistle, but many things also unwritten, and in like manner both the one and the other are worthy of credit. Therefore let us think the tradition of the church also worthy of credit. _It is a tradition; seek no further.”_ (We see here that tradition is worthy of consideration and respect, but it does not rise to the same level of authority as divine Scripture.) The view that Scripture is the chiefest source of authority remained the predominant view of the church until nearly the time of the Reformation. Luther was advocating for the conservative view of Scripture, the view long held by the church, which Rome was newly deviating from. Here is evidence: "Its [the church's] own *proper authorities are those of canonical Scripture,* and these it applied with convincing force. It has other proper authorities, the doctors of the Church, and these it looks to as its own, _but for arguments that carry no more than probability._ For _our faith rests on _*_the revelation_*_ made to the Prophets and Apostles who wrote _*_the canonical books,_* not on a revelation, if such there be, made to any other teacher." -- (Thomas Aquinas, _Summa Theologica,_ 13th Century, emphasis added) Thus we see a famous Catholic theologian in the 2nd Millennium of the church age, stating that the church's "proper" authorities are the canonical Scriptures. The two-source theory of inspired revelation (Scripture + Tradition as equal sources) was batted about by some theologians over the centuries, but it was not the primary view of the church and it gained very little traction. In the 14th Century, William of Ockham (a Franciscan) embraced the two-sources theory in his _Dialogus,_ but William's motivation was to provide ammunition for the Michaelist Franciscans in their disagreement with the pope at that time (the asceticism of Francis, and the Franciscans as a group, had fallen out of favor). However, _Pope John XXII adamantly rejected the two-source theory and maintained that Scripture was the only divinely inspired source._ This is the historical record.

@@rexlion4510 hi, former Calvinist apologist here. sola scriptura to Protestants doesn’t just mean that Scripture is the highest authority. It means that Scripture is the only infallible authority (why you say “sola” and not “prima”). You’d find a lot more common ground with Catholics by saying, “I don’t believe in sola scriptura. I believe in prima scriptura.” Also you seem to be misunderstanding how the Catholic Church uses Scripture + Tradition + the Magisterium. They are not independent sources of authority (hence why we also agree in those quotes you provided). They very much work together. This is why I did an episode about this very topic just before this one.

@@rexlion4510 this will be my final comment. Feel free to have the last word. You're talking in circles. The doctrine of sola scriptura says that Scripture alone isn't just the highest authority it's the sole infallible authority. And yes, we both agree that there are other authorities. And I know that Protestants recognize other authorities. Catholics don't think that Protestants don't have other authorities. In fact, all we're trying to say is, "Protestants, you're imagining a reality that doesn't exist. You keep saying sola Scriptura, but you don't actually believe in sola Scriptura." It's really an illogical and impossible doctrine that makes zero sense and causes people to fall into circular reasoning. It's laughable to say that Scripture + Tradition + Magisterium was invented in the 16th century. You know how I know that isn't true? Because the Church has always held that its ecumenical councils are infallible. It's the councils that have defined things like the Creed, the Trinity, the hypostatic union, Mary as the Mother of God, and the Canon of Scripture. And the councils have said to deny those things is anathema. It has always recognized the absurdity of saying that a fallible council came up with a fallible canon of infallible books. By claiming Scripture alone is infallible, you're injecting something onto Scripture that isn't found in Scripture. It's like you're saying, "We don't believe tradition is infallible but we sure treat it that way." Reminds me when people are doing all the things that dating people do and swear that they're not actually dating.

In furtherance of your belief in real presence in the Eucharist, you claim that Ignatius, Justin, and others wrote "very clear statements" about what the early church believed. I challenge you to produce a quote from either Ignatius or Justin which contains the phrase, "real presence." Justin called the consecrated element "bread," just as Paul did at least four times in 1 Corinthians. The problem is not with Sola Scriptura. The problem lies in Roman Catholic misinterpretation of both Scripture and early church writings.

@@rexlion4510 requiring that those church fathers use the phrase “real presence” is arbitrary. In the development of doctrine, we are always coming up with new ways to articulate the same eternal and divine truths. For example, the term transubstantiation wasn’t used until much later but it is a way to try and explain what happens to the bread and wine at consecration. It’s not a contradiction or a departure to Scripture or the church fathers because it’s just new words to describe the same concept/doctrine.

The Catholic Church does not make false teachings as Jesus told us. Read your Bible instead of listening to a preacher, a teacher or your protestant bible study. Jesus said, John14:16 “And I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever.” That means the Apostles, their successor Bishops and all Bishops to our day. And John14:26 “But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you.” And again in John16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself; but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak; and the things that are to come, he shall shew you.” Jesus meant for ever! That’s why St Paul writes in 1Tim3:15 “But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.” The only way a person like you or me knows how to behave in the household of God is to join the Catholic faith.

@@Depreezed two thoughts… 1. Do you celebrate Christmas? Because that’s not in the Bible. I’d be careful with saying, “I don’t do something because it’s not in the Bible.” There’s a lot of practices in the church that are not explicitly in the Bible - Advent, Christmas, Ash Wednesday, Easter, etc. 2. Cultural practices mixing in with Catholicism can be tricky. And here you need to consider the difference between how a culture practices something vs. the official teaching of the Church. On one hand you’re right, theres a lot of ways that people practice Catholicism that are not orthodox but are more pagan in origin. However, I am also a redemptionist. I think taking cultural practices and orienting them towards Christianity is one way to convert a society. Hence when someone says that Christmas or Easter has pagan roots, I say, “Who cares? They now have been completely reoriented to Christ.” But to your point, just because people practice Catholicism a certain way doesn’t mean it’s correct or faithful. Here in the US, there’s lots of Catholics that believe in abortion and gay marriage. But they don’t represent the true Catholic Church and her teachings. They are merely Judases in a room full of Jesus followers. Faithful Catholics don’t let Judas speak for the Church or give into letting him be the Church’s poster child.

Just like we learned from Jesus that our bodies are the true temples of God's prescence doesn't it go to show us that Mary who gave birth to Jesus Christ was the living Ark of the new Covenant ? This isn't a new teaching of the Church it dates back to the 3rd century I think it was Augustine that first published this synchronicity of the old and new testaments. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many synchronicities of the old and new. And to call Mary just a vessel isn't kind. How would your mom feel if anyone described her as just a vessel ? If anyone called my mom that I'd knock their block off. ... wouldn't you ? I just prayed the the liturgy of the hours night prayer and I prayed for you my friend... I don't want offend you or make you angry you are entitled to your beliefs.

@richardkasper5822 Like I said, these are all assertions. Calling Mary the ark of God means you're equalling her with God. And any teachings that are not grounded or rooted in the Bible are man made doctrines, I rather go for the bible and what it says than what the pope say. Now, pairing David's dance with John the Baptist leap to be the same is quite not fitting. We all know why David danced and why as well John leaped. And still john said he's not worthy to lose Jesus sandals when he wanted to be baptized, so those events are instead pointing and prioritizing on the nature of Christ. Regards calling Mary a vessel, truly she was a vessel used by God to bring salvation not herself a means for salvation. As to giving respect to our mothers, I think Jesus did it and he did it very well, and at the same time he set boundaries so people do not start idolizing his mother and which eventually the Catholics did. My respect to you and your belief but that is not what Christ and his disciples taught.

3) During the first millennium popes didn't claim universal juridiction over the Church and certainly not temporal powers. In a letter to saint John the Faster, Patriarch of Constantinople, saint pope Gregory the Great wrote: _Whoever calls himself universal bishop, or desires this title, is, by his pride, the precursor to the Antichrist._ He explained that neither st Peter nor his predecessors ever claimed to be the universal bishop of the Church. 4) The dispute between pope Leo IXand the Patriarch Michel of Constantinople (Cerularius) is more complex that what is reported by the Catholics. Leo was not the usual pope. He was the second ever German pope. The first died within a year so in fact he's the first German pope who lived enough to transform the Church. And what a transformation. Leo claimed the imperial Insignia of Rome for Himself based on the donation of Constantine, constituted the Pontifical State, appointed Humbert de Moyenmoutiers as state chancellor, created a senate : the college of cardinal wearing the colours of the Roman senators. Leo was a warrior, bord count Bruno von Eguisheim-Dagsbourg, he has his own standing army and in 1053 he invaded Sicily, a troubled byzantine province. Once there he ordered the local bishops to drop the Byzantine rite in favour of the Latin mass. The bishops consulted their Patriarch in Constantinople and Michel told them to ignore Leo's demand. This infuriatied Leo IX who wrote a letter to Michel claiming universal juridiction over the entire Church based on the Donation of Constantine, a forgery. Meanwhile Leo IX was defeated at the battle of Civitate and was hold hostage by the Normans until a month befor his death. He died while chancellor Humbert was travelling to Constantinople in order to receive official recognition of the newborn State by the Eastern Roman emperor. His meeting with the emperor when smoothly but he also delivered an insulting letter to Michel in which the dead pope Leo IX accused him to be a woman in drag. And he also delivered an excommunication bull against Michel in the name of the dead pope with frivolous false accusations such as the removal of the filioque from the Nicene Constantinopolitan Creed when in fact the Filioque never was in the Nicene-Constantinopolitan creed Inthe first place.

Agree and disagree… after EXTENSIVE research on this topic, you’re right to an extent, the Bishop of Rome didn’t claim supreme authority in earlier points, but it’s mostly bc they didn’t have authority to begin with. The Pope was challenged and undermined on every front - politically and ecclesiastically. It was emperors convening church councils, and in the case of some councils in the east, doing so with total disregard to the Bishop of Rome. The conclusion I’ve come to which will be in a future episode is that the definitions around papal supremacy developed out of necessity, particularly due to the Byzantine Emperor who did everything to undermine and neglect Rome, as well as other geopolitical fronts. To me it follows similar pattern as dogmatic declarations. Doctrines become dogmatically declared out of necessity- due to a divisive dissension that threatens to destroy the church. We have the definitions we have because they have developed out of necessity. Turns out we humans suck at ascertaining to a unity that reflects the Trinity. This is why Catholics reject the Eastern Orthodox and Protestant appeal to history as a rejection of papal supremacy. We can look at some early Bishop of Rome (especially St. Peter) ad say, “He never imagined that type of authority.” In reality, he never had anywhere near that type of authority to imagine it.

@@WhyCatholic I am glad you acknowledge the fact that the authority of the papacy grew with time and therefore is not directly inherited from st Peter and the apostles. I can hear also the argument of necessity, since it's by necessity that the archbishop of Constantinople was made Ecumenical Patriarch by the councils of Constantinople, (381) and the fourth Chalcedon (451), Constantinople being the capital of the Christian Roman empire and therefore a new situation had to be solved : Who talks to the emperor in the name of the Church? History matters. Rome was not the capital of the western empire since 286. It was Milano until 402 and then Ravenna. The Goths ruined Rome in 410 and when Odoacer deposed the last western emperor in 476 Ravenna became the capital city of his kingdom. The pope was not even in the Roman empire anymore until 540 when Belisarius defeated the Goths and remained in the empire until 751 when the frankish warrior Pipin the short cut a deal with the pope to be crowned king of the Franks. This deal was that Pipin gave to the pope the exarchate (province) of Ravenna in exchange of his "protection". The deal became reality only when Charlemagne defeated the Lombards and was crowned "western" emperor in 800. In 810 Charlemagne starterd to pressure the pope to add the filioque to the Creed in order to create a schism between Rome and the rest of the Church. So you are write : There was a necessity to build stamina, but not against the power of the eastern roman emperor, but against the Frankish-Germanic emperors who started to choose the popes and to interfere in dogmatic issues.

We take in account the entirety of the scripture without preconceived ideas and with humility trying to follow the narrow path. Our Lord Jesus Christ was very explicit about the hierarchy of the Church in Luke 22:24-26 _The kings of the nations lord it over them and are called benefactors. Let it not be that way among you. But rather the greatest is like the youngest._ There is no hyperbole here to interpret the way it suits your heart. It's streat forward. No keys. No Petros. Not feeding the sheep.

Orthodox here. Some corrections : 1) There are two chairs of saint Peter, Antioch and Rome. St Peter established the Eastern Church in Antioch. 2) Corinth and mainland Greece were under the juridiction of Rome in the early Church. When the pope intervened to settle issues in Corinth he did as the head of the Western Church. The East/West division back them was divided by the Aegean sea. Asia Minor wand in the East. Greece was in the West. As we say today by the way. Greece is considered as a western country and Turkey as a middle East one. When the German emperors proclamed to be the Western Roman empire with Charlemagne the division moved to the West and cteated the Catholic/Orthodox division we know today. The pope fall under the control of the Carolingian dynasty after 800AD. In 810 Charlemagne send a delegation to pope Leo III to request the addition of the filioque. Saint Leo III refused arguing that popes had not such powers and nailed two silver shields on the doors of St Peter's with the unaltered text of the Nicene-Constantinopolitan creed engraved in Greek and Latin followed by this sentence: I LEO DID THIS FOR THE SAKE AND THE LOVE OF THE ORTHODOX FAITH.

If you study the ancient documents of the early church, you will find that Peter never acted as a supreme bishop of bishops. In fact no bishop exerted monarchic authority over all church members for at least the first 3 or 4 centuries. The early churchmen disagreed about who the "rock" was (the rock upon which Jesus builds His church). If there had been a pope, there would have been unanimity among the early fathers as to the "rock" being _Peter and all of his successors._ Instead, we see a number of opinions voiced during the first 4 centuries.

islam was founded by satan as antithesis to The Church of Jesus Christ. al aqsa mosque was built on that rock to inhibit God’s people/Church from having appropriate access to that rock. On a separate issue, the Catholic church of today is NOT Jesus Christ’s Church. Catholicism has LONG AGO strayed from the pure uncorrupted Gospel. There are many many good righteous Catholics just as there are in virtually all religions and many will gain salvation, fewer exhaltation. The Church of Jesus Christ IS on the earth, but the Pope is not its leader. God bless.
