Catholic Church vs Man Made Religion (Jesus founded Catholic Church)

[@andip.9808]

If I were an alien from another planet who just arrived to this planet and wanted to know more about Christ and His teachings, where would I go? The Bible. Then I would ask where did the Bible come from? That would lead me to the early Christian writings (Church Fathers). That would in turn lead me to the Church Councils and their decisions. If I were to try and interpret the Bible on my own, who knows what I would come up with. And if I didn’t dig deeper, how much I would miss. Thank you for sharing this. As a Catholic “revert” myself, I love all of my “Bible only” family and friends and refuse to argue with them. I don’t have the mental, emotional or physical strength to enter a verse vs. verse battle with them. But what I can do is pray and offer up my stage 4 bone and breast cancer battle for remission of my sins and the conversion of my family, friends and enemies. May Jesus have mercy on us all. God bless you and your work. 🙏🏼🕊🥰

@@FisherKot Utter and complete ignorance. VERSE BY VERSE just try to judge Christ a liar! PETER as Shepherd and first Pope: Scriptural evidence and the structure of the primitive Church make it absolutely undeniable that Christ chose Peter and that Peter was first among the twelve. Depending on the translation, Peter is mentioned 195 times. The closest is John (the beloved disciple) at just 29 times. The rest even less. Consider: Jesus entered Peter’s house. (Matthew 8:14) Jesus changed Simon's name to Peter. (John 1:42) Jesus gave Peter the keys to the gates of Heaven. (Matthew 16:19) Jesus declared Peter to the the rock. (Matthew 16:18) Jesus made Peter shepherd. (John 21:15-17) Jesus told Peter to strengthen his brothers (Luke 22:32) Jesus paid the Temple tax only for Himself and Peter. (Matthew 17:24-27) Jesus preached from Peter's boat. (Luke 5:3) Jesus told Peter to "Follow me" (John 21:19) Jesus called only Peter to walk on the water. (Matthew 14:29) Jesus predicted Peter's three-fold denial. (Matthew 26:34) Jesus predicted Peter's repentance and three-fold affirmation. (Luke 22:32) Jesus prophesied only Peter's manner of death. (John 21:18-19) Jesus taught Peter forgiveness 70 times 7 times. (Matthew 18:21-22) Jesus spoke only to Peter at Gethsemane. (Mark 14:37) Peter is always listed first of the Apostles. (Matthew 10:2, Luke 6:14, Acts 1:13) Peter was first to confess Jesus as Messiah. (Matthew 16:18) Peter alone spoke at the Transfiguration. (Matthew 17:4, Mark 9:5, Luke 9:33) Peter pointed out the withered fig tree. (Mark 11:21) Peter entered the tomb first - John deferring to him. (Luke 24:12, John 20:3-4)) Jesus, after resurrecting, appeared FIRST to Peter, then to the twelve. (1 Corinthians 15:5) Peter decided the manner of replacing Judas. (Acts 1:15-26) Peter spoke for the eleven at the Pentecost. (Acts 2:14-36) Peter was released from prison by the Angel. (Acts 12:6-11) Peter spoke for the eleven before the Council. (Acts 4:8-12) Peter held sin bound to Ananias and Sapphira. (Acts 5:1-10) Peter's shadow healed. (Acts 5:15) Peter declared the sin of Simony. (Acts 8:18-23) Peter revealed the salvation of Gentiles to the Church at Jerusalem. (Acts 11:1-18) The Angel told Cornelius to call for Peter. (Acts 10:3-8) The Holy Spirit fell upon the Gentiles as Peter preached to them. (Acts 10:44-45) At the empty tomb, the Angel said, "Go tell His disciples, and Peter." (Mark 16:7) Mary Magdalene ran to tell Peter and the beloved disciple. (John 20:2) The vision of all foods being clean was given only to Peter. (Acts 10:9-16) Peter's words silence the first council in Jerusalem. (Acts 15:7-12) Paul went to Peter to affirm that his Gospel was not in vain. (Galatians 1:18) Peter was given the revelation of the end of the world. (2 Peter 3:10-11) Peter taught that Paul’s words were easily twisted. (2 Peter 3:16) Peter taught that baptism now saves you (1 Peter 3:21) And many other references. One may deny that Peter was primary, but it takes an amazing ignorance or denial of scripture and history to do so. VERSE BY VERSE prove the bible wrong.

[@DashRiprock-m3b]

@@cinta3805 First off, who is "they"? As far as business goes, it's the RCC who has there hands in every type of business in the world. You're as dumb as it gets. From Google search: Bankers' best guesses about the Vatican's wealth put it at $10 billion to $15 billion. Of this wealth, Italian stockholdings alone run to $1.6 billion, 15% of the value of listed shares on the Italian market. The Vatican has big investments in banking, insurance, chemicals, steel, construction, real estate. And let's not forget the RCC forbidding their priests to get married saving the church a whole lot of money not having to pay for wife and kids expenses. This and scripture saying this is an apostasy...along with being forbidden to eat certain foods like you have too during Lent or it's a mortal sin. 1 Timothy 4 Apostasy 4 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, 3 men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; 5 for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer. The RCC even tells Paul he is wrong about priest being married: 1 Corinthians 9: 1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord? 2 If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 3 My defense to those who examine me is this: 4 Do WE not have a right to eat and drink? 5 Do we not have a right to take along a believing WIFE, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord and CEPHAS? You do know who Cephas IS, RIGHT? Your supposed first pope? Tell me, who is it that's making crap up? Seems like the RCC has had a BIG jump on your, as you put it, man made churches. You better know what you're talking about before making ignorant statements. Or are you just stupid?

Come home my fellow protestants, Jesus wants us all to become a part of his body which is the Church, which is the more reason why he established his church, if you don't, Satan is pulling you away from the one truth, that's exactly what he wants, 'division', put away your protestants pride because Satans weapon is 'pride', 'disobedience', 'hatred'. that's what the great apostasy is all about, the great falling away from the one true Church, the one and fullness of the Truth, it is becoming clear!!!

Hello, this is Bryan. This video came by necessity. We had it recorded already. I am having major voice problems and probably won't be able to record for a while. That's why we've been doing interviews or videos we already have recorded. I would have to look into more, but it sounds confusing, and well, wrong. It definitely seems.to contradict the official position of the Church which condemns syncretism. I don't think he was trying to do this, and I think he was trying to create some unity as opposed to just fighting, but it could have been a lot better, in my opinion. He may have softened his position a bit, but in my opinion, too much. I would have to look into it more because the Church is clear Jesus is the only way to heaven and we can't learn anything from other religions in terms of salvation. If he was just trying to say, don't fight about religion, I agree with that. But again, it was very confusing and sounded like a contradiction what Catholics actually teach him believe.

@@CatholicTruthOfficial I don't believe the Pope was talking about getting to heaven. He never said those words. He is not talking about salvation. I believe he is saying that all have the ability to find God. Which is true. Romans 2 says that all mankind has it written in their minds and on their hearts. Also, the Pope did a sermon just before this, saying that Jesus is the only door to the Father. Now that's salvation. All he was saying is that we must dialogue with each other and do it respectfully. Not saying "my religion is better than yours" "my God is greater than yours". After he said those things he said "there is only one God"

No such thing as the Catholic Church when Jesus walked the earth. The apostles were not Catholics. The Catholic Church later combined with paganism to form the Roman Catholic Church.

Yes, the Apostles were Catholic because Jesus started the Catholic Church. Jesus started the Catholic Church, a teaching and preaching authoritative Church on Peter and the apostles (Mt. 16:18-19, Eph. 2:20; 1 Cor. 12:28-30; Mt. 18:15-18). He did not start a bible only church which removes all of the Protestant denominations. Rather, he trained the disciples to be the leaders of the Church and gave them his authority (Mt. 28:19-20, Jn. 20:21-23) and said we 'must' listen to their authority. If we don't listen to their authority, then we reject Christ himself (Lk. 10:16, Heb. 13:17, 1 Thess. 5:12-13). They also passed on their authority to others through the laying on of hands. The church that Jesus started was teaching and preaching, correcting and reproving, and making doctrine before the New Testament even begun to be written (Acts. 16:4-5; Acts. 11:1-15; 1 Tim. 5:11; Eph. 4:11-12 and many more).

This had to do with their earlier conversation in Matthew 24, when they were talking about the destruction of the temple that was supposed to happen within their generation (destruction of temple marked the end of the age). In John 16, Jesus was not talking to the church as a whole. He was talking to His Disciples, who were the stick of Judah. Also please look at John 14:26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. " The Holy Spirit taught them until the close of their canon in AD66. Then the Roman-Jewish war began, and lasted for 7 years. During this time, the second half of John 14:26 applied to them, where the Holy Spirit reminded them of the things Jesus said. This needed to take place for their Daniel 12:12 prophecy, which was from August 15, AD66 to April 10, AD70. Then they left for their gathering (stick of Judah left, Josephus was eyewitness to this). Stick of Joseph would have already arrived, as they were the ones who prepared a place for them, fulfilling what Jesus said in John 14:2.

Also Paul was writing to Timothy, a single individual about godliness and how he is to conduct himself to the household of God.. 14 I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you before long; 15 but [k]in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how [l]one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth. 16 By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was [m]vindicated [n]in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory. The truth is Christ, we are to support the truth in Christ, through the gospel. That is what is viewed in the next verse he, 1 Timothy 3:16. It does not mean we lean to fallible, non-inspired sources for truth, such as “church fathers”. We look to Christ, which contains His Word (John 1:10). In the book of Acts, they solved doctrinal matters by looking to the scriptures, and guidance from the Holy Spirit. No one claimed to be infallible, nor a Magisterium.

@@CatholicTruthOfficial Bryan, you have substituted the primary audience here (Disciples, who were a part of the stick of Judah) with the “catholic church”. You just can’t do that to the bible. You also substituted the Greek word “aion” which means “age” with “end of time”. That is not what it means. Also, in John 16:13-14, Jesus was talking to His Disciples who were a part of the stick of Judah, “13 But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you (Disciples, not the catholic church) into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you (Disciples, not the catholic church) what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.” John 16:“2 [a]They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God. “ Jesus told them “they will make you outcasts from the synagogue”. These were Jewish people who treated them as outcasts. We see this happened to Paul, after he became a Christian. This had nothing to do with the catholic church. In John 14: 2 In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. This conversation took place shortly after Jesus told them to flee to the mountains in the Olivet Discourse. Jesus had to comfort them. The stick of Judah did in fact flee to the mountains, which occurred on April 10, AD70, which was a Thursday afternoon, so their prayer was answered. It was the stick of Joseph who prepared a place for them. They went to greet Mark in Alexandria, Egypt (1 Peter 5:13), then continued to Peter in Babylon, just 100 miles south. Then Peter escorted them to Petra, which is where they ended up for their gathering. In John 14: . 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. They were taught all things, until the canon was closed in AD66, which was the year the Roman-Jewish war started. This war lasted for 7 years. During this time, the second half of John 14:26 was in effect, they were reminded of the things Jesus said. This was during their Daniel 12:12 prophecy, which was from August 14, AD66 to April 10, AD70, then they fled that Thursday afternoon, so their flight did not take place in winter nor on the sabbath. They then were in the wilderness for 1260 days, where the two became one stick, fulfilling Ezekiel 37 prophecy. Then they became desolate, during their last Yom Teruah, which their last day was on September 22, AD73 fulfilling Matthew 23:36, 38. Jesus was with them until the end, as Jesus told Peter he was not going to live much longer as Peter pointed out. Notice Peter knowing this, made no mention of any successors?

[@DalonteSmith-u7k]

@@matthewashman1406 The Pope has really exposed himself not only as a False Prophet but also a true agent of Satan that he really is. But however there are many Catholics that are now condemning The Pope’s latest actions in this very dangerous statement that he made shows that he doesn’t not believe in Jesus Christ at all. Pope Francis is under a lot of controversy after revealing that he doesn’t not believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to God recently at a multi faith submit in Singapore he’s spews blatant heretical doctrine that all religions are a path to God as well as many other unbiblical claims. But obviously any Bible Believing Christian knows that Pope Francis is no stranger to obsurd weird doctrine however this type of rhetoric even has the most devout Catholics denouncing Pope Francis himself. The Pope has been paving the way for the one world religion that the Book of Revelation describes for a long time now. But with his most recent antics involving the construction The Abrahamic interfaith center which involves Muslims and Jews and Christians all coming together to worship God. But however Jews and Muslims are both separated from God since they deny Jesus Christ as the only way to Heavenly Father which is clear that Pope Francis has already rejected basic Christian doctrine even before this recent Scandal. But let’s look at Pope Francis’s Satanic beliefs and compare his new age doctrine to actual scripture so you can understand the importance of knowing The Bible for yourself rather then trusting Feelgood messages that do nothing but tickle people’s ears on their way to Hell. But just so you know we are not all sons and daughters of God this is not biblical at all. But we are all made in Gods’ image but The Bible clearly states in John 1:12 when referring to the incarnation of Jesus by stating that the word become flesh John 1:12 KJV But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. You only have the right to become a child of God if you receive Jesus Christ. But if you reject Jesus you reject God entirely therefore you are not apart of God’s family which would not make you a son or daughter of God this is basic Christianity. Pope Francis also makes the false claim that different religions are just different languages with the same meaning this is also absolutely not true because everyone from every different religion knows that they all contradict each other. How can Buddhism be a path to God when they don’t believe in God!!!! How can Hinduism be a path do God when Hinduism believe In thirty million Gods! How can Islam be a path to The Christian God when they deny that Jesus was even crucified on The Cross! How can Christianity be the same as these other Gods in these other religions when it clearly says that Jesus Christ is only way to the true and living God! So where on earth is Pope Francis getting the idea that religions are just different languages with the same meaning unless he’s ether clueless about his own faith or he’s working for the devil into leading masses into the end times apostasy that The Bible talks about. But this Satanic lie about different religions are all different paths to the same destination goes directly against what Jesus Christ taught himself in The Bible the lord said in John 14:6 and it goes like this in John 14:6 KJV 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. There’s no sugar coding this but Pope Francis is quite literally not only a False Prophet but a agent of Satan who is being used by the global Elite to water down the truth biblical gospel on the world stage because this is exactly what must occur in the last days in Revelation 17 it speaks about an end times event where a one world religion is formed to persecute the true saints of Jesus Christ even unto death and the stage is being set for this by Pope Francis who is the face of Roman Catholicism into bringing this 10 times prophecy into fruition what’s even more jarring is many biblical scholars have even speculated that this one world religion speaking about Babylon would actually be coming out of Rome and as you know and ironically The Vatican is actually located in Rome as well. These are the end times and for those who discernment we can see the Living Word of God become even more relevant in our everyday lives this is why it’s so important and crucial to know The Bible for yourself many people in the beginning profess themselves to be Christians but they end up falling away because they have no knowledge of the word of God or the actual attributes of who God is the harsh truth is all of these other religions created by Satan to deceive you from the fact that we can only obtain fellowship with the almighty through the blood of his son Jesus Christ it doesn’t matter if the Pope denies this otherwise we must put our trust alone in Gods’ word. If you believe Gods’ word over The New Age Doctrine I want you to comment and say the word triumphs everything

It’s not in the Bible and don’t let some Roman Catholics in the comment sections try to confuse you with where do you find the word Bible in The Bible. The word "Catholic" is not explicitly found in the Bible. The term "Catholic" comes from the Greek word "katholikos," which means "universal." It was first used to describe the universal church by early Christians. Similarly, the word "Bible" is not found in the Bible itself. The term "Bible" comes from the Greek word "biblia," meaning "books." It refers to the collection of sacred texts that make up the Old and New Testaments.

Yep that’s true and I heard that it’s found by men and Jesus Christ did not establish The Roman Catholic Church nor The Catholic Church and he did not start The Roman Catholic Religion nor The Catholic Religion he started perfection. The Bible that they use and the church itself was created almost 300 years after the crucifixion, on the older given by Roman Emperor Constantine Xll-XIV. Angered with those who give in the name of Christ, with not even enough for themselves, he decided he must not be taking enough that they would give in the name of Christ. Constantine would claimed to want to help them do this good work and facilitate the wishes of the giving/charitable with a church. The Roman Catholic Bible was assembled as were churches. Forwarding donations was never the objective for this church, which is so evident today being one of the monetarily richest corporations/entity’s in the world.

[@CatholicTruthOfficial]

It's there in the Bible. Perhaps learn to read Scripture properly. Let's start here. Did Jesus start and authoritative Church or the bible alone? Jesus started the Catholic Church, a teaching and preaching authoritative Church on Peter and the apostles (Mt. 16:18-19, Eph. 2:20; 1 Cor. 12:28-30; Mt. 18:15-18). He did not start a bible only church which removes all of the Protestant denominations. Rather, he trained the disciples to be the leaders of the Church and gave them his authority (Mt. 28:19-20, Jn. 20:21-23) and said we 'must' listen to their authority. If we don't listen to their authority, then we reject Christ himself (Lk. 10:16, Heb. 13:17, 1 Thess. 5:12-13). They also passed on their authority to others through the laying on of hands. The church that Jesus started was teaching and preaching, correcting and reproving, and making doctrine before the New Testament even begun to be written (Acts. 16:4-5; Acts. 11:1-15; 1 Tim. 5:11; Eph. 4:11-12 and many more). When you realize that Jesus didn't start a Bible only religion but started a teaching and preaching church, you will realize that it's the Catholic Church, the only church that goes back 2000 years to the first century. This was the same church that made and canonized the Bible in the first place.

We never claimed Jesus was Catholic. He wasn't Christian either, but he started Christianity and the Catholic Church. Hinduism and Judaism are two of the oldest religions. One is polytheistic and the other monotheistic. Catholicism comes from Judaism. God started the Jewish religion with Abraham and promised a Savior. That Savior was Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was Jewish but he stated a worldwide universal religion for all people, the Catholic Church. Catholic means universal. Does this help answer your question?

[@julieelizabeth4856]

Not everything is in the Bible. No one thought so until Luther made up the idea of "Sola Scriptura" in the 1500's. We didn't even have a closed canon of the Bible until the 4th century A.D. and it was the councils of the Catholic Church that determined which books belong in it. Others were circulating but didn't make the cut. St. Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch, named the true church "Katholikos" (the original Greek) to distinguish it from heretical groups who were already forming in the first century, yet still calling themselves "Christian." Protestantism really isn't new. The printing press, although it did a lot of good, made it easier for heresies to spread.
