Catholic Answers to Protestant Questions - Fr. Jonathan Meyer - 9.8.2019

[@101010w1]

I was born and raised Lutheran and the more I dive into the bible the more it looks like the Catholic church has all the right answers. I long to be Catholic and be part of a world wide church, that honors life and has options for women to have a vocation within the church. I long for leadership that oversees the churches and keeps them on the right track. I want to hear about the Saints back through history and all the great miracles that have happened. I as a Lutheran only hear about Martin Luther and quite frankly I'm not so proud of that anymore. I wish he never broke away and I was back within the Catholic church. I am currently starting the process to become Catholic. I want to follow Jesus to the Lord's supper in a real way! My faith is leading me back to the Catholic church!

Awesome sermon! I personally am not Catholic but I admire the boldness that Father Meyer has in his faith and I wish more of my fellow protestants understood that Catholics are not idolatrous pagans. To anyone who reads this, I hope you have a wonderful day, and God Bless.

[@anonjohn7571]

If not idolatrous pagans then what are they? (I'm catholic and know you're right but I'm curious to what your answer is to this)

[@user-fc1ld9ts8u]

Your fellow Protestants choose to believe the worst of Catholics for the reason that if they did not convince themselves of such, they would be forced to confront the actual dogma and beliefs in the Catholic Church and compare them to what is lacking in their own beliefs. Dominus vobiscum.

[@daneburns432]

The RC church idolises dead bodies. Exhumes them removes their hearts so that they can be worshipped on altars in churches. If they do want to make them saints then ok but let their bodies rest in peace. Stop putting them in glass cases just to bring people to view them.

[@crobeastness]

@@fusionfoodswithraj he didnt need to. he used common sense. one of them was clearing up a misunderstanding you protestants have of us which is that we do NOT worship mary. the catechism of the catholic church is our official interpretation of the bible. it clearly prohibits the worshiping of anything other than the one true god in the father, son, and holy spirit.

[@fusionfoodswithraj]

@@crobeastness listen the man stood up and made points about the catholic faith and pointed out things you practice and says if any believer is asked why u do this they should ask the person the question why are you not doing it. That is crazy because if and atheist ask a question about your faith and you respond like this man is saying they will roast you. I am not trying to be cute but nothing you catholics believe can be supported in scripture and if you don't change these practices your gonna stand and face the God who is coming with anger, there is no such thing as purgatory no such thing was ever taught in the book so you guys can be ignorant all you want God will deal with it in the end

@Dann Sss What's the problem, and which church are you in?

[@TruthSeeker52342]

@@johnjames1590 The many heresies in the Vatican 2 documents deny/contradict Christian/Catholic doctrines. I am technically part of the "Roman-Catholic" Church (haven't officially left it) but I don't go to the mass until I find a non-heretical church.

[@johnjames1590]

@Dan. Sss. Well I just saw you on the catholic answers stream if you remember, I myself am currently a protestant, but this sect is starting to seem wrong to me, and I have been studying catholic and orthodox a lot lately. For V2... clearly that was a big turning point. However, some catholics insist it isn't a doctrinal problem, but rather what the council has been used for. Ie; it can be easily twisted. And perhaps that was the reason for its invention in the first place. For me the V2 does indeed seem a but sinister itself, but I imagine this would be the catholic defence. Anybody denying it has been used to create a nightmare is delusional or a liar. Why don't you join the Eastern Orthodox (this is not me making a suggestion, I am actually just fishing for your reason for my own information and study purpose. Apart from a few remaining doctrinal problems, it is starting to seem like I should join one or the other. Maybe you can assist)?

[@TruthSeeker52342]

@@johnjames1590 The Orthodox embrace the teachings of Palamas (divine energies which are different from the substance [ουσια] and his definition of theosis) and I therefore would not join them. There was a time when I was more Orthodox-leaning, especially when reading the Greek church fatheea defending the Deity of Christ during the Arian crisis. There even was a short time when I was more Protestant-leaning. And I actually do think that the Bible is all you/a Christian needs. However, if you study the first Protestants (Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, Melanchthon) you really start to see how they perverted the gospel. Let me make one thing clear though. The average Protestant who doesn't know better and trusts in Christ is a sister/brother in Christ for me. That's one of the reasons I'm not a convinced Catholic. I don't like the idea of extra ecclesiam nulla salus (and the idea of a Pope in the Catholic sense too). So what I'm looking for is a church that just follows the Bible, period. Without anathematizing other Christians. Without Luther's sola fide and justification doctrine. And since most/almost all non-denominational churches/communities are Protestant, I stay in the Roman-Catholic Church. I at least agree with the Catholics on the 2 most important doctrines of Christianity: the Trinity and the gospel/salvation/justification. There's one channel I'd like to recommend you: vaticancatholic I disagree with the Sedevacantist position (extra ecclesiam nulla salus), but they have good videos on pure Catholicism and Vat2.

Mussolini made Vatican City a nation-state, but the offices were raided by police last year and found them all having a gay cocaine orgy naked and stoned. For 1700 years the world has been infected with the mental illness of Catholicism. Inquisitions, the Crusades, 30 years War, WW1, WW2, Vietnam...all engineered by the Jesuit Army of Loyola who control Freemasonry, the Illuminati, Skull & Bones. The invented Communism and played both sides, financing Nazi Germany in the 1933 Reichskonkordat Treaty arranged by Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli, who was rewarded in 1939 to become the Nazi Pope Pious XII. This cult is a threat to mankind, the cause of misery, poverty, lack of education plus they are money grubbers who do nothing for free. No Catholic trinity idiot will ever see Heaven.

[@cynthiatrimble5301]

You don’t want a reply. Your borage or rapid firing questions would require a a theological thesis. It’s evident that you aren’t posing sincere questions but firing your pre-programmed accusations fed to you by your Catholic hating pastor. The tactic is the same old tired tactic posed to Catholics for years. If you were being truthful and seeking answers or a dialogue that would be one thing but that’s not what you’re doing and every Catholic knows it and simply refuse to waste time with someone whose mission is to attack our faith and refuse to hear a word we say because you have no intention to understand. You convinced yourself you know everything - your mind is incapable of seeing the truth.

[@cynthiatrimble5301]

Furthermore you prove your intentions in the last paragraph by concluding before you even get a response that no matter what response any Catholic says is a twisted interpretation of scripture or a lie etc. You don’t want a response you just want to launch an attack . There’s no truth in you.

As it I written in 1 Timothy 3:15 " 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."

Only two days ago a man claiming to be a Protestant Pastor came to talk the right Church with me ofcourse as all protestants, he had his points to accuse the Catholics. As you know how the Protestants first go on babling about idol worshipping and Mother Mary, I reminded him of the last wish of Jesus in Jn.19:25-27. And that we in the Eastern world respect mother and father of our best friend or wife/husband. So if Jesus considered us as His FRIENDS then we should respect the Mother of Jesus especially when Jesus Himself specifically said 'Mother here is your son and to His favourite disciple Jesus said here is your MOTHER'. The Church of Jesus established on the Rock Foundation of (Simion now changed to Peter = Rock) But they interprete that the Rock is Jesus Himself and I asked him how he would enter his own house if he did not have the KEY, he stumbled to give the correct answer. Then I told him if the rock was Jesus Himself then how is it that Jesus gave the KEY OF HEAVEN to Peter. And without being a believer of Jesus through His own Church taken care of by His appointed Earthly Leader Peter how will the Protestants enter the Heaven, is it through the window like a thief ,? So he could not answer and walked away. Then I told him that the the purpose of becoming Christian is to have EVERLASTING LIFE IN HEAVEN,BUT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURE THE HEAVEN HAS A DOOR AND A VERY NARROW DOOR OF WHICH THE KEEPER OF THE KEY IS PETER BY AUTHORITY OF JESUS. He just could not answer and walked away.

I don’t understand why Evangelicals, who supposedly take the Bible literally, don’t believe Jesus was speaking literally when He says, “This is my body” and “This is my blood” and “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.” Protestants claim that Jesus was speaking symbolically, not literally when He said that. But that doesn’t jive with their practice of interpreting the Bible literally. I recently saw a KZbin video of a speech given by Protestant pastors. Someone asked them if Roman Catholicism is a cult. (???) The pastor hemmed and hawed around. You could tell that he wanted to say that yes, it is a cult, but he was too cautious to open that can of worms. So he said that his definition of a cult is a group of people being led by one person who has authority over the group and the group is to believe everything that this person says and everybody is supposed to believe the same thing or words to that effect. To get his answer, you have to read between the lines and understand that the so-called cult leader that everyone is supposed to believe is the Pope.

I don’t know if they’re wealthy or not or whether or not they get paid for these speeches, but I’m pretty sure that they’re telling the people what they want to hear. This isn’t the first video of theirs in which they’ve dodged a question and are dancing around it instead of giving a straight answer.

For another thing, I don’t know which denomination of Protestant you are and there’s absolutely no way for me to know all the specific beliefs of every religion or of every denomination of Protestantism. And, for yet another thing, in my first sentence, I said “Evangelicals”, such as Baptists and Church of Christ. I don’t know if you’re an Evangelical or not. Not all Protestants, like Episcopalians and Lutherans, for example, are Evangelicals. I’ve known lots of Evangelicals, like Baptists. And there are several Church of Christ members in my family. My uncle was a Church of Christ preacher and so is my cousin’s husband. My niece’s father-in-law is a Christian Church preacher. I know for a fact that none of those three preachers believe that the bread and wine, or the crackers and grape juice as the case may be, turns into Jesus’ body and blood. For them, it’s symbolic and not literal. And that was my question.

No we do not believe in the decisions of the church councils. But Nicea approved the list of the books of the New Testament. Who are you to say St Athanasius was correct in selecting these books to be the New Testament but you reject his Creed?

I was looking for the schedule of the Vatican Mass today in honor of the Divine Mercy Sunday and i was brought here. And i couldn't be more than blessed for witnessing this sermon of Father Meyer which is very timely and relevant nowadays. What a very good way to start receiving the blessing and mercy of Our LORD JESUS CHRIST pouring endlessly for us most especially on a Divine Mercy Sunday. I am continuously praying for GOD's wisdom, revelation and truth and HE just revealed to me HIS answers today, Feast of the Divine Mercy (Divine Mercy Sunday); one of the blessings and graces i received from my first ever formal Divine Mercy Novena. Let me share this to all of you as celebrate Feast of the Divine Mercy (Divine Mercy Sunday) but could not have Confession and Holy Communion: LORD JESUS CHRIST, you promised St. Faustina that the soul that is been to confession, I’m unable, but I made an active contrition and the soul that receives Holy Communion, I’m unable but I made a spiritual communion will receive the complete forgiveness of all sins and punishment and please LORD JESUS CHRIST give me this grace. Divine Mercy - is mankind’s last hope of salvation. Humanity will not find peace until it approaches my fountain of mercy. We give thanks, we glorify HIS name, we worship HIM, we profess our faith, we pray, we ask forgiveness for our sins; In The Name of The FATHER, and of The SON, and of The Holy Spirit, amen! GOD be with us all!

Burning incense to statues? Sprinkle “ so called Holy Water “ on statues and people? The use of Coptic shell decoration on baby baptism bowl? Praying to the dead? Please attach scripture of any Hebrew keeping SUNDAY as a holy day? You think this is fun right you think I have nothing better to do with my life???? You think Satan cares about you?

Jordan Peterson describe the Christian religion this way. He said that there was originally one church. After the reformation (I call revolt), the churches split and split until everyone was almost their own church. He had a good graphic. Interestingly enough, if you are not familiar with Jordan Peterson he is a youtube contributor, Not a professed Christian and is a clinical Psychologist. He did an extensive study of the old testament and packed auditoriums with audiences to hear them. They put many 'biblical scholars" to shame.

Why didn’t the writers of the NT Epistles mention Mary if she is to be honored?

[@perkinsmariaeleana3809]

I love that we have a choice to participate in our salvation. I don't believe that all you have to believe. I believe that Christ's death and resurrection is enough but I also believe that we can join Christ in that salvation.

Thank you, father Jonathan. I’m proud to be Catholic . I practice my faith by keeping God’s Commandments 🙏

[@terethusak]

As a protestant i find this very interesting. We do take communion and the lord is clear the wine is his blood and the bread his body broken for us, but hebrews is also clear christ was offered once for sin. I think the whole mary thing was skipped over , we honor mary, the word says blessed is she among women im yet to meet a fellow believer who despises Mary. And how can you be more honoured than to carry and raise the saviour of the world. But it ends there with honor. The bible doesnt make her queen of heaven and there is one mediator between God and man Jesus christ.. God hasnt appointed a pope He has given His word and it says christ is the head of the church. Thing about priests being like fathers agreed paul says in christ he has begotten us again. Also says we have many teachers but need fathers. And the idols thing?? I have never seen a protest bow before a picture of grandma it simply looks like idol worship to thr protestant mind to see catholics bowing and praying before statues of saints. The bible doesnt affirm prayers to dead saints? Many questions unanswered i hope he does a part 2 ..

[@tomgalkan7176]

Where does say in bible that everything has to be in bible? Than, where do you find canon books in bible, or altar calls, or phrase: Accepting Jesus as personal Lord and Savor, and you will be saved?! Where is Trinity or Incarnation? Missing the point here.

[@andrewdrew677]

Impact here’s a message from a catholic man who left the church over the issue you talking about it’s a real eye opener kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3rVYoavqbCqsKc

[@SnowbunyinIL]

Find on KZbin.. sensus fidelium. Very strong in their teachings and truth of the faith!

[@2growdaily181]

@@tomgalkan7176 When a religious organization presents a new teaching that annuls or superceeds the existing teaching of the apostles in the New Testament, the teaching in the Bible must take precedent even over every church. The Bible judges the teaching of the Pope, not the other way around.

[@merum3692]

Lol do you have nativity statues during christmas in your protestant churches? Have people kissed photos of their loved ones? What about the historical statues found in streets? Are you people worshipping or simply honouring whoever is depicted in those pictures and statues? Read the catechism to fully understand the faith, it's always been readily available. Itll help you end those other protestants superstitions of yours. I was once like you, until I saw how wrong I was.

[@patbruno3667]

We all need Father Meyer to speak at our church! Today, our priests just do not say things like he did! Thank you for this great homily!

[@raulhernandez8615]

Everyday I would say because is very important. Its call apologetics = defense of your faith. I highly recommend to start finding out all your doubts so Catholics have a solid knowledge of why we do things. Everything of our Saint Mother Catholic Church teach us is Biblically so cheer up! and dont let anyone come and talk bad about the only Church of God, our Catholic Church, we must defend it. Remember "Catholic ignorant, future protestant", "who doesn't form, deforms".
