It's funny how they also seem to think that the Bible just fell from the sky. This took centuries to to make and there's many different kinds of Bibles there's a lot of scripture out there and just because it didn't make it into the 27 books doesn't mean it's not relevant either. Actually take a course in real history don't just read your Bible Have a look at what else people have known and discovered for centuries.

Don't you go to your pastor for answers? Don't you feel that The elders of your church are there to lead you and that they might have a better idea than you? It's the same thing they just trust in their priests. Honestly I'm Protestant I just see a lot of merit and what the Catholics do

You can never hate Mary as much as Satan does.

@@georgepierson4920 actually The Mary Catholics worship is the devil disguised 🥸 as her

Even better, you can never love Mary as much as Jesus does

Oh evangelicals.

Do you think that everybody was reading the Bible When do you think that happened? Do you think everybody had a copy of their own Bible like we do nowadays? None of the apostles could read and write Jesus couldn't read and write they spoke Aramaic and the New testaments were written in Greek. Do you think the Bible just fell from the sky? It's a collection of books made by the Catholic Church for crying out loud

Until we had the written Word of GOD.

Just because something isn't promulgated doesn't mean it is in fact.

Go for it! I was baptized as a Catholic, but that was it. I knew nothing of Catholic doctrine. The first time I talked to a Protestant ( they had me thinking twice about Mary). Brings me to November of last year, I hear Protestant John MacArthur Talk about how Catholics are a cult and Satanic. He said to read on early Christians. I started with canon of scripture provided by his church. I heard of early Christian’s like Ignatius of Antioch, Clement of Rome, Polycarp. I decided to see how this early Christians worshipped. To my surprise they were Catholic Bishops. Clement was the Roman bishop( there for the pope ). Saint Ignatius of Antioch 110AD (third bishop of Antioch where we were first called Christian’s. See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not lawful without the bishop either to baptize or to celebrate a love-feast; but whatsoever he shall approve of, that is also pleasing to God, so that everything that is done may be secure and valid. November I came back you to the Catholic Church. I felt bad that I never took the time to find out what a great gift my family had given me. Then you hear Protestants claim well Catholic means universal, we are all universal, the evil ones are the Roman Catholics. The funny thing is Roman Catholic came about during the reformation/ to compare us to pagan Rome and claim us for killing Jesus. Early Church historian J. N. D. Kelly, a Protestant, writes: "As for 'catholic,' its original meaning was 'universal' or 'general... no later than the second half of the second century, we find that conveys the suggestion that the Catholic is the true Church as opposed to heretical congregations (cf., for example, the Muratorian Canon)... What these early Fathers imagined was almost always the empirical and visible society they had little or none of; idea of the distinction that would later become important between a visible and an invisible Church" (Early Christian Doctrines, 190-1). As you can see, we chose to be called Catholics just so that people could distinguish heretics from the true church left by Jesus. Hey brother if you have questions I will be more than happy to assist. I know several others would also jump on it. God bless! Peace be with you.

@@JuanGonzalez-kb3gm thanks for the encouragement, either way I’m saved but I liked the consistency of the mass… then a sermon, but it was getting me ready to receive the Eucharist , a symbol of the bread of life.

@@JuanGonzalez-kb3gm and thanks again

@@JuanGonzalez-kb3gm I was baptized as an infant with god parents to insure my faith in Jesus if my parents became deceased in my childhood. I ended up being baptized again in a non denominational Protestant “ church “. I was 63 at the time and it was basically the Catholic rite of Confirmation, redone. They bashed the Catholic baptism and maybe I should have left their saltwater pool baptism on that moment. To me it became a celebration of my faith and not any new spiritual revelation from the Holy Spirit. Enough with my baptisms, I’ve stated my faith in all 3 life stages.

@@richbozzi3148 I have no doubt you are saved, we are saved by faith. We can celebrate that, with a cup of wine and bread everyday ( the Eucharist ). Anytime and anything you need, Just ask. You will find a plethora of KZbin degreed theologians here.

You serve your master well.
