Allie, I'm grateful for you having these discussions. I was Anti-Catholic a year ago and thought you owned George Farmer. But that debate got me interested in researching Catholicism. Fast forward, and just 5 weeks ago I was confirmed Catholic at the Easter Vigil.

@@botanicamelancholia RCC re-sacrifices Christ every mass and in the end Jesus is still not enough because of the invented safety net of purgatory. Jesus sacrifice on the cross wasn't enough for RCC. God said do not drink physical blood, but they believe in the doctrine of transubstantiation that when you consume the bread and wine it LITTEARLY transmutates into blood and flesh. Then they all pray to Mary when Jesus told us WHO to pray to and its not his mom. They glorify her beyond what the Bible says and make graven images of her and invented entire doctrines around her......don't get fooled by their one true church narrative and proof texting matthew 16 18 to give themselves false authority.

@jsharp9735 You should read Ignatius, Justin Martyr and Iraneous. You'll find that the "invented doctrines" from when "Rome appropriated Christianity" are actually incredibly early and predate any consolidation of the scriptures. Ignatius, for example, literally says: *Especially [will I do this] if the Lord make known to me that ye come togetherman by man in common through grace, individually, in one faith, and in Jesus Christ, who was of the seed of David according to the flesh, being both the Son of man and the Son of God, so that ye obey the bishop and the presbytery with an undivided mind, breaking one and the same bread, which is the medicine of immortality, and the antidote to prevent us from dying, but [which causes] that we should live for ever in Jesus Christ.* Or *It is becoming, therefore, that ye also should be obedient to your bishop, and contradict him in nothing; for it is a fearful thing to contradict any such person. For no one does [by such conduct] deceive him that is visible, but does [in reality] seek to mock Him that is invisible, who, however, cannot be mocked by any one.* Seriously, Ignatius tells the Christians to be unified with and obedient to the Bishop over and over and over again. The authority of the episcopacy is indisputable in the early (and oppressed) church

Born as a Muslim, found Christ. Became Protestant Christian, till I noticed various disagreements within the Protestant Church. I knew something was wrong. But I knew one thing, that Christ must have left us a true Church, because the Bible often warns against false teachings. I just knew deep down that God will not leave us like lost sheep. After 2.5 years, I am convinced that the Catholic Church is the Church that Jesus left us. Last December I joined the Catholic Church and will remain in it until my last breath. Thank you God for everything.

I’m a Catholic revert. I turned my back on Catholicism years ago and went to a Pentecostal church for about 10 years. I eventually got tired of the rock concerts and pastors screaming into the microphone approach. I found that as I got older I needed a quieter more reverent way to worship and that’s what the Catholic Church offers, worship, adoration and reverence for Jesus. I believe God led me back to the one true Church. As I delved deeper into Catholicism, I discovered many misconceptions and my faith grew stronger. I’m proud to be a Catholic. Thank you Jesus. ✝️🙏🏻

Careful, "Warning, Will Robinson!" Jesus warned His disciples [and all who believe in Him] to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees in Matthew's, Mark's, and Luke's account of the gospels. The disciples confused it with bread/food/provision, but Jesus was teaching them about something much more. Leaven in scripture is representative of something else. Read and meditate on the scriptures that do not lie. Ask Holy Spirit to reveal truth to you, and believe He will. Shalom Shalom

As a Protestant, I will say that Catholics like Trent have really given me a better understanding of the faith & a respect that I did not have before. I grew up going to catholic school & have many catholic family members. However, what ends up happening at family events are those surface level debates that go no where instead of learning to understand & digging into church history. Appreciate it!

@alissarehmert2502 4 ай бұрын

Yeah, I wish they had more time to go into the details of why Mary is venerated and why people ask her, and other saints, to pray for them. He did, however, go briefly into why it doesn't have to be in the Bible for it to be a licit practice. It does not contradict scripture and our view of Mary and her role comes from deductions from scripture. I would recommend reading Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary by Brant Pitre if you're interested in a super in depth study of why Catholics believe in asking Mary for prayers. Regardless of your view of Mary, it is an interesting book to show you the practice doesn't come out of thin air. I'd also recommend watching the videos on Trent's channel where he goes into it. 😊 @@cindybeltran992

@alissarehmert2502 4 ай бұрын

@@cindybeltran992 Yes, I wish that they had time to go into the details more. There are many reasons why Catholics venerate Mary. While it is true there is not an explicit command in the Bible to ask Mary (or any Saint, for that matter) to pray for us, there are ways that Catholics deduce the special role of Mary from scripture. Just as Trent briefly pointed out in this video, we are also not explicitly told we ought to pray to the Holy Spirit, but many Protestants and Catholics do (and rightly so because of deduction). The Catholic view of Mary is rooted in Sacred Tradition, Jewish views on the Queen Mother, and interpretation of different passages of scripture (usually you'll hear Catholics discuss John 2:1-11, John 19:25-27, and Revelation 12). As I stated above, these scriptures don't explicitly tell us to pray to Mary, but Catholics use them to deduce certain things about Mary & the Saints. I would encourage you to read Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary by Brant Pitre if you're interested in how the Church has historically viewed Mary and why. If you don't want to do that, Trent's channel is always helpful as is Joe Heschmeyer's (Shameless Popery). It did not come out of nowhere! Everything Catholics believe about Mary reveals something about Jesus and His divine nature. We don't venerate Mary because she's a deity or has any power of her own, but because of what she tells us about Christ, His holiness, His Majesty, and His love! It might also be helpful to know that there have been Catholics who were even excommunicated for taking their veneration of Mary too far (see Collyridianism)...so there is definitely a line for us Catholics. Mary is an infinitesimal creature when compared to the one Holy and Sovereign God of the Universe!

I have been a Music Director in many different protestant churches: United Methodist, Universalist Unitarian, Presbyterian, Epicopal. At each church I met wonderful people who love Jesus and I would do my best to understand how each faith was unique so I could do my part contributing to worship through music. When I started singing at a Catholic Church as a Cantor, my heart transformed in the most amazing way, and I am convicted that the Catholic Church is the true church and the most full expression of faith for followers of Jesus Christ. I know Jesus more deeply through the Rosary, Mother Mary, The Saints, Angels, and the understanding of the Eucharist as Jesus's Body. I realized that protestant churches are missing these important aspects that draw us close to Jesus and therefore most of them embrace new age spirituality as they are still hungry for our Lord. Since joining the Catholic Church, I have come to understand the Eucharist as the most important part of our faith and have renounced all forms of new age spirituality.

****One "eats" God's Word by believing it and meditating upon it: Isaiah 51:16 "I (the Lord) have put my words in your mouth ...". Ezekiel 3:1 "... eat this scroll and go and speak to the House of Israel". Jeremiah 15:16 "Your words were found and I did eat them ..." Revelation 10:10 " I (John) took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it". >>>> www.desiringgod.org/articles/what-jesus-meant-when-he-said-you-must-eat-my-flesh -What Jesus Meant When He Said, “You Must Eat My Flesh" The day before, Jesus had fed 5,000 people with a few loaves and fish. Then that night he walked miles across the Sea of Galilee before catching up with his disciples in their boat. The crowd had seen him send his disciples away in the only boat available. So the next day, when they found him in Capernaum, they knew he could have only got there miraculously. They wanted him to be their king. Then he went and ruined everything. To his adoring fans Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.*** Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.” (John 6:26-27) More Than Bread But wanting the blessings Jesus provides is not the same thing as believing in him. Indeed, Jesus had come to give them bread from heaven. But not that kind of bread. ****So, to test them, he began to make statements that sounded very strange. He told them that he was the true bread from heaven that gives life to the world, and whoever eats this bread would live forever. “Jesus had come to give them bread from heaven. But not the kind of bread they were looking for.” ***Then he said, “And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh” (John 6:51). This sounded like cannibalism. His listeners balked. He pressed it even further: “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.” (John 6:53-55) The “Jesus for King” campaign evaporated. The people walked away, shaking their heads. The crazy man wants us to eat his flesh! They completely misunderstood what Jesus was saying. So what did he mean? Here are the clues: How do you labor for the food that endures to eternal life? Believe in me! (John 6:27, 29) “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me [in faith] shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” (John 6:35) “For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” (John 6:40) “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.” (John 6:47) Eating Is Believing ****For Jesus, eating is believing; drinking is believing. He promises eternal life to those who believe in him. Believe what? Believe that his death - the breaking of his body and spilling of his blood - pays in full the penalty for our sin, and that his perfect righteousness is freely given to us in exchange for our unrighteousness. “Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper because he did not want us to forget the very core of what we believe.” Believing this is how we “eat” Jesus’ flesh and “drink” his blood. This is why he instituted the Lord’s Supper: he did not want us to forget the very core of what we believe. ****When the crowd took offense at his gruesome talk, Jesus exposed their unbelief: “The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not believe” (John 6:63-64). WHy did they walk a way??? Let’s you and I be like Peter. He didn’t walk away, but instead said to Jesus, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God” (John 6:68-69). >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Communion How do you labor for the food that endures to eternal life?

If Revelation 17 n 18 are what many believe it teaches, then everything happening with many converting to RC n EO is what we have been expecting to happen, but it’s not a good thing according to Rev 17 n 18.

Good! keep saying the rosary ! The rosary have no Salvation, it is religious spirits, when I experienced the holy spirit my eyes were open and I said, Lord all these years Mary! The rosary! why not you? Did I expect an answer? But I heard very clearly, he said , I see you practising patience and diligence, I burst out laughing , yes you are right lord! we are practicing patience , waiting patiently for answered that never came and diligently doing it over and over again. Memorising a rosary cannot get any one into heaven, it’s not to what you do it is what Jesus did on the cross, that is grace, Mary has no part in anyone’s Salvation, that is doctrine that comes from the teaching of the Catholic Church . I come from A catholic background, I still attend mass ,at the Catholic Church, but I attend especially to ask others , they like if I pray for them, I find them always receptive In receiving prayers . I would say, if you kneel down, close your eyes and pray with all heart your mind your soul and your strength believing you receive it , God will answer your prayers. He doesn’t answer prayers that is of repetition , if you want to know how to pray, read the palms, David poured out his heart to the God of Israel , how he felt and what was going on in his life. God already know all, but he wants us to come to him. I saw and I know the difference. I read the old Testament and I would spend hours in the morning talking to the Lord, what is the church teaching Lord ? what did the Catholic priest read to know you ? , I was angry! I knew about Jesus but I did not know him personally, I later realise he wants us to know him personally or I would end up in hell. He began to stir my heart and I did not know where I can go it worst yet who can I talk to , I did not know the Bible I did nkt know the Word of God , I thought maybe I should go to the Catholic Church and talk to some one , but I heard a very Stern voice , No Not There ! I thought? , so where then ? Foolishly I went all the way to the Vatican . Lots of people queueing … I realised no it’s not here. I stayed with a friend unknowingly she was Buddhist ! Goodness ! I returned to London not knowing where to go , later I realised we look for God In the garbage bins . Yoga, we join new age Buddhist. But none satisfy , only Jesus satisfy . Our longing. The Holy Spirit led me to Holy Trinity Brompton in London, and on Pentecost Sunday2002 he catapult into heat seeking missile. That is over 20 years ago and he has held my gaze ,I don’t concentrate on any thing for long, but with the Holy Spirit 24/7 he is my thought Word and deed , and I encourage others, so please read the Bible. The rosary would lead you to hell read the Bible! The rosary is NOT biblical and see for yourself. GOD would not accept anyone or share his glory with anyone, ir any idol , if you call Mary his mother, the relationship between Mary and Jesus changed , it was not about Mary but we can learn from Mary her obedience is beyond . . Why Did Jesus say in LUKE , 11:27-28 true blessedness 27 As he was speaking, a woman in the crowd called out, “God bless your mother-the womb from which you came, and the breasts that nursed you!” 28 Jesus replied, “But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.” This is Salvation ! not the rosary. It is a religious spirit! when I was throwing my rosary away it tugged at my heartstring, I reached to pick it up and I heard leave it very stern ! Jesus said my sheep hear my voice and they listen . There is a battle for souls and Satan and his demons are going all out. The one true church are the believers in Christ, spiritual Israel , we are grafted in into the one Church. And it not religion but relationship. . The church is build by God’s own hand. When my faith is threaten , I know Jesus prays for me, just as he told Peter , Satan asked to sift you like sand but I have prayed for you. Can that which is small contain that which is Big ? God longs to give us his Holy Spirit to empower us, he knows without his Holy Spirit we are toast in Satan hands , he wants to be strong. Mary can’t give us the Holy Spirit , the Holy Spirit give us translation when we read the Bible then he gives us revelation then we got transformation. Into a new creation. In Christ call Born Again , he removes our sin as far as the east is from the west and remember them no more . This scripture cancels our purgatory , WARNING ! purgatory is adding to God’s Word that has serious consequences. The Catholic Church want to take away Eph , 2:8-9 for it by grace through faith we are saved, it is a gift from God , not works, ( indulgences ) not of our selves (we can’t earn salvation ) SO NO ONE CAN BOAST ! Written in stone ! 1tim 2:5 for there is only ONE GOD and ONE MEDIATOR between God and mankind the Man Christ Jesus , who gave himself as a ransom for all . And we don’t need a Pope , the priesthood was done away with when Jesus died on the cross , the Jewish priesthood came to an end AD70 when Jerusalem was destroyed . Jesus became our high priest . Hebrew 4:14:16 Jesus The Great High Priest! 14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven,[a] Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are-yet he did not sin. #16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.# We don’t need to ask the dead to pray for the living , God gave us his Holy Spirit never to be alone. . All who are joining the Catholic Church are looking for religion , I did not have to leave the catholic church but I have freedom in Christ to go to any church and listen to the word of God , I hardly attend the Catholic Church , because I now know Jesus personally, I have a personal relationship with my Heavenly Father through the Holy Spirit in Jesus name. I know it’s the believers in Christ who are the church not religion. That is his Church he is building a people of power a people who are called by his name … Christian. Not all Christians are Christians . I’m speaking of spiritual Christians. God is Spirit and he is looking for people who will worship him in spirit and in truth. Not through religion ! One question if the Catholic Church is the true church why was people stragjez and killed for teaching the Bible to children . Today Catholics still don’t read and study God’s Word believe snd obey , they listen to doctrine believe and live but it . That has no salvation ….that is scary! Salvation is real experience . Hell is real there is no turning back your name is written in the book of life there is One heaven and it our father who art I heaven not hail Mary. Mary in the Bible is not the. One the catholic church teaches . Don’t take my word for it . Read the BIBLE FROM Genesis to revelation .its the Holy Spirit who will translation,if Gods Word then he give you revelation and you believe, he transforms you, into a new creation in Christ , called Born Again, now you know truth , and the truth sets you free , the Holy Spirit brings freedom and relationship with God in the name of Jesus , this make Christianity different from religion. Only Hod gives the jolt spirit no priest can declare you are born again without the evidence of the manifestation of the Holy Spirit . Whew!

@@amoyjoyce1117 the Rosary is a deep meditation of the 4 Gospels centered in the Life & Actions of Jesus Christ using words which come directly from the Gospel. No one can have a relationship with someone they don't know and it's impossible for someone praying the Rosary NOT to get to know Jesus on a much deeper level. Reading the Gospels is one thing - like jet skiing on the Ocean & Mediating on the Gospels using the Rosary is quit another - like scuba diving in the Ocean. If someone wants to truly KNOW Jesus, they ought to do both daily!!! I think Satan Loves it when he's succeeded in convincing people, like the way I was raised to believe, that the Rosary is evil.

Two decades after leaving behind my Jehovah's Witness upbringing and becoming agnostic, I became a Catholic this Easter Vigil. Every day I'm filled with gratitude to God for discovering a spiritual home rooted in tradition, history, and deep theological teachings. As a newcomer to Catholicism, I've come to realize that some of these teachings can be misunderstood, and I appreciate forums like Allie's channel where Christians engage in respectful and thought-provoking debates. Trent's discussions have helped me grasp some of the finer points and nuances of my newfound faith. I like to say my RCIA class and fr. Mike Schmidt's Catechism in a year were instrumental in laying a solid foundation for my Catechization and I received much needed reinforcing of my understanding of Catholic doctrine through Trent's debates. I'm immensely grateful for the support and resources that have guided me on this journey. May God continue to bless us all as we deepen our understanding and commitment to our faith and understanding of each other.

MAKES NO SENSE Also it is stated in the Bible not to communicate with the dead, of course we don’t talk to death relatives READ BELOW 1 Chronicles 10:13-14 ESV / 176 helpful votes So Saul died for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the Lord in that he did not keep the command of the Lord, and also consulted a medium, seeking guidance. He did not seek guidance from the Lord. Therefore the Lord put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse. Ecclesiastes 9:5 ESV / 172 helpful votes For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten.

Please read you Bible don’t lose the way don’t be blinded. I believe sooner God will bring you out of this false church. Remember we don’t belong in a church we are putting our trust in God so please read the Bible for yourselves. God is the way the truth and the light. Please let the truth be revealed to you. If a church breaks even one of God rules or adds to the Bible it’s not God’s church remember what God said revelations “And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the words of prophecy written in this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book.” Revelation 22:18 there are many things the Catholic Church assess to the Bible and also misinterprets the Bible and makes up its own things that were never Moncton to be followed in the Bible forgetting that the Bible is what we look at not the church. Here are a few things that the Catholic Church has changed 1. Praying to Saints and Mary • Catholic Practice: Catholics pray to saints and Mary, asking them to intercede with God on their behalf. Bible: in the Bible Christ is the only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), praying to saints is never mentioned in the Bible that is idolatry 2. Veneration of Mary • Catholic Practice: holding Mary, the mother of Jesus, in very high regard, calling her the "Queen of Heaven" and emphasizing her perpetual virginity, immaculate conception, and assumption into heaven. In the Bible While Mary is honored in the Bible, critics claim that doctrines such as the Immaculate Conception (Mary being conceived without sin) and the Assumption (Mary being taken bodily into heaven) are not explicitly found in Scripture. It is blasphemous to say that Mary is the queen of heaven. On God rules the heaven so why would a someone created by God be on the same level as God. There is no place in the Bible no single place that says that Mary was taken to heaven and is queen of heaven this is a idolatry but not many people realize this.

@mitchellosmer1293 I agree with most of that list. Well done for compiling it. One thing, though, ALL the days that God gives are days of worship. No, Jesus did not teach anything about changing "the day of worship", but neither did he teach anything about any "day of worship". I know you mean the Sabbath, of course. Prety much all of Jesus's teaching about the Sabbath day went against the legalism of the Pharisees. Jesus came to fulfill the law. For Christians, the law is summed up in three commandments: love God, love your neighbour and love one another (I.e. amongst the believers).

The RCC doctrine changes the gospel and that means it is not a saving gospel, it is a works gospel. I get this information I am sharing from Mike Gendron and his Proclaiming the Gospel ministry. Mike is an ex-roman catholic, as am I. God opened my eyes to the false teaching of the RCC. There are many Scriptures in the Bible that state we are saved by God’s grace alone. Jesus is the ONLY way, not one of many multiple-choice ways that so many false religions teach. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” The numbers Mike put after what the RCC teaches is the paragraph number where it is found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church The Bible teaches: Titus 3:5 “He saved us, not because of any righteous deeds we had done, but because of His mercy” RCC doctrine teaches that “by His death and resurrection, Jesus Christ has ‘opened’ heaven to us” [1026]. Each person attains His own salvation by grace and good works [1477]. The Bible teaches: 1 Peter 1:18-19 knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like sliver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, [19] but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. These words apply to the Lord Jesus Christ alone, not to Mary but RCC doctrine teaches that Mary is the sinless co-redeemer, “Without a single sin to restrain her, she gave herself entirely to the person and work of her son; she did so in order to serve the mystery of redemption with Him…being obedient she became the cause of salvation for herself and for the whole human race” [494] The above doctrine of the RCC is blasphemy, it is the doctrine of demons. NOWHERE in Scripture does it say that any person except the Lord Jesus is sinless. Mary knew she was a sinner and in need of a Savior. Luke 1:46-47 And Mary said: “My soul exalts the Lord, [47] And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior! The Bible teaches: Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified and Hebrews 7:27-28 who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.” Jesus said when He was hanging on the cross: John 19:28-30 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, to fulfill the Scripture, said, “I am thirsty.” [29] A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth. [30] Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. RCC doctrine denies it is finished. Which means they are calling Jesus a liar when He Himself said IT IS FINISHED! RCC doctrine states” The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the eucharist are one single sacrifice..the same Christ who offered Himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and offered in a unbloody manner” [1397]. The sacrifice is “offered in reparation for the sins of the living and the dead” [1414]. The RCC is saying that Jesus is continually being sacrificed on the alter, that is why they have Him hanging on the cross. Jesus is not on the cross, He is seated at the right hand of the Father. RCC priests actually think they have the authority to call Almighty God from His throne in heaven to sacrifice Him on their ‘altar’ and they actually believe they are turning bread and wine into the actual body of Jesus Christ. And then the priest holds up this fake Jesus for the congregation to worship. BLASPHEMY! IDOLATRY! They are worshipping a false Jesus. Who would want mankind to worship a false Jesus and believe a false gospel? Satan of course. Jesus did not die for dead people. After we die our eternity is sealed forever. If Jesus is not your Lord and Savior, your eternity will be in hell. We have nothing whatsoever to offer to God. We come to Him with a broken spirit. Psalm 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise. We cannot do any works to earn our way to heaven. Jesus said, “Repent and believe the gospel.”

When I was younger, I sat in a Protestant church and wondered if there was a Church that traced back to Christ. At the time I thought, "No way, that would make it 2000 years old. Isn't that impossible?" I was young and ignorant of Church history. Fast forward many years later, I found out about the Reformation and studied Church history. It is like they say, I was confirmed into Catholicism a decade after my original thought provoking question. As for Mother Mary. This notion that it is not in Scripture about Mary's importance, is to me an obvious ignorance of Scripture. I do realize that Scripture is a source of the capital sin of Pride for Protestants, so it is hard for them, since they are blinded by this pride, to recognize that it is in Scripture. Scripture is not a book that one can just read at an elementary level and gain all understanding of it. It must be read with spiritual eyes. The Hail Mary itself is based almost completely upon Scripture verses Luke 1:28 at the Annunciation and Luke 1:42 at the Visitation. When we pray the Hail Mary, we are actually praying to God, who is omnicsienct and omnipresent, and He in union with Mary bestows graces through Her infinite merits. We are not bypassing God, as if Mary were somehow somewhere apart from God and then she presents it to Him. No, Mary is so closely united to God that She lives in Him. We are praying to God and reminding Him of the greatest gift a human being ever gave Him, by honoring Her Annunciation and Fiat of consent when she consented to give Him flesh and bring Him forth into the world. It delights God to hear her honored, for in doing so it brings Him honor too.

I was so happy, as happy and joyful and filled with love as I did when I learned about JESUS and not just about an unknown, unnamed God I was talking to my entire life knowing one existed… I cried for accusing Catholics of idolatry, I cried so Many cast Mary aside, she prophesied she would be called blessed for all generations. I’m in catechism classes now. I will forever love Protestant enthusiasm and love for God, but now I’m learning the history of the martyrs, the continued unbroken line of Christian history, I’m learning what it meant to be Christian all these years.. who founded the Catholic Church? Not any man, but Jesus Christ. There will always be a battle between good and evil, and it takes place inside the church because the world is lost already. Please give it a chance, just study it, not from Protestant sources, from Catholic sources, understand it, completely, and then do your comparing, cannot understand catholicism by learning it second hand, that truth will always be hidden. Didn’t scripture say that the Saints would Rule with Christ? They’d judge the angels? Even the most outrageous things you’ve heard, let their official sources explain it. Learn about the Papal Bulls against joining freemasonry, the only religion that freemasonry wouldn’t allow join were Catholics forever until recently, if you don’t know about what they do at higher levels, behind closed doors, look up Albert Pike’s morals and dogma, and who they worship. Only the Catholic Church stood against it, and it against the Catholics. She is the mother church and I’m so blessed to be home.

@@Ruth_1_16 He and many other have countless of debates and responses on videos regarding Mary. Praying to Mary is a layered theological doctrine because it talks about venerating Mary in a unique way because she's the mother of God, and because she's the queen so she does get a special grace for being the queen, another layer is the idea of prayer to Christians who are not alive on Earth, the next layer would be to explain what prayer actually is and isn't. There's a lot of barriers to explain before you can even get to why Catholics make a big deal about Mary. Feel free to check out other Catholic videos on KZbin that deal with that question specifically. He did answer it though. He said later on the conversation that the body of Christ is one shared with those on earth and with those in heaven so if we can communicate with those on earth we can also communicate with those in heaven because prayer just means asking. He was spending some time trying to understand the framework of our vocabulary because prayer means asking or intercession for Catholics. She thinks that dead Christians are dead and are not aware of anything in heaven (where is that in the Bible) but Catholics believe that Christians are alive with Jesus in heaven (to be away from this body is to be with the Lord) and are aware of what's going on (The angels rejoicing over someone repenting on earth is a sign of heaven being aware, we have a cloud of witnesses like in Hebrews mentions, He mentioned in the catacombs of the early church that they would ask Peter and Paul to pray for at that loved one even though Peter and Paul have been dead for a long time at that point). I encourage you to rewatch the video or look up other Catholic videos that deal specifically with that issue.

Moses went up to the mountain and it didn’t even go a week and they started to worship a cow. So the fact that the Apostles died and left disciples doesnt actually say much. Not to mention how John says he was banned from a church by a diciple. Furthermore Jesus Christ rebuked alot of chuches saying they had gone astray in Revelation. Besides how do we even know that the teachings left from the diciples of the apostles are even real? For scriptures we have many manuscripts but how reliable are these writings? On the other hand when (in the old testament) all got corrupted and no one worshipped God or remembered how to worship God, meaning there was no tradition, King Josiah read the scriptures and it was an authority for Israel and God accepted it their repentance. So.

Dear@@mitchellosmer1293, yes, we have all read the Bible. God named the seventh day to be a day of rest. He told us in the 10 Commandments to keep holy the Sabbath Day, and we are told how to do this under the Law of Moses. But during the time of the Maccabees, the Greeks wiped out a village of observant Judeans on a Sabbath (1 Maccabees 2:25-38). So those who sat in the Seat of Moses, determined that Judeans could defend themselves if attacked on the Sabbath (1 Maccabees 2:39-41.) Jesus refers to this incident in Mark 3:4. Jesus came to fulfill the law. Not just in a ritualistic way, under the Mosaic Law, but also in the Maccabeen sense of saving Life. And not just on one day a week, but on every day. I am writing this response as a courtesy to you, to give you a fair chance at understanding how far your understanding of the Sabbath is from that which is taught in the Bible (since you do not have the the books of the Maccabees in your Bible, you would not know this history that everyone in Judea and Galilee knew at the time Jesus walked the earth.) But I doubt that I will reply to anything you may say to me, since you have already proclaimed that you intend to read what I say in a twisted manner.

@@donhue4546 You just spoke heresy here by claiming that Jesus' natures are two separate parts. Mary is the mother of God because Jesus is fully God and fully human, not part God and part human. He cannot be one without the other, as in His divine nature cannot be separated from His human nature. Making claims that Mary is the mother of Jesus the human but not Jesus the Son of God is claiming that His natures are separate and leads into other heresies such as adoptionism, the heretical belief that Jesus was adopted as the Son of God at His Baptism rather than being God in human form from the moment of His 'conception'. Mary is the mother of God because Jesus is fully God and Mary gave birth to God's human life which cannot be separated from His divine nature. When we call Mary the 'Mother of God' we do not claim that she gave birth to the Trinitarian God, but that she gave birth to God who became flesh.

Cradle Catholic here who left the faith for many years, became Protestant, and eventually was led back to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church in 2020. My disgust and misunderstanding of Catholicism was largely fueled by influencers like Allie. My continual search for the objective truth and the grace of God to humble me allowed me to investigate both sides with genuine curiosity and an open mind. What I found is that if you go deep enough into history, you cannot continue being Protestant. Catholicism transformed my spiritual walk and relationship with Jesus in ways I cannot even begin to describe. If you know, you know. I pray for the deception to be lifted from all who are in opposition of Christ’s Church, and for their love of the Lord to override their misunderstanding.

The wing of one cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the other touched the other wall, and their wings touched each other in the middle of the room. 28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold. 29 On the walls all around the temple, in both the inner and outer rooms, he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers. 30 He also covered the floors of both the inner and outer rooms of the temple with gold. ➨ BOWING as a sign of honour / respect: ● JOSHUA 7:6: 6 Joshua & the elders of Israel tore their clothing and lay prostrate (face down on the ground) before the Ark of the Lord.

@getrit3007 if the priest in Chicago is blessing same sex unions, then his bishop should discipline him. However, sola scriptura would not necessarily fix that. Methodists, Lutherans, congregationalists, non-denoms, episcopalians all cite sola scriptura and have varying interpretations. But that priest's bishop can look to definitive teaching and say that priest is wrong. While the dicastery for the doctrine of the faith did issue a document saying homosexuals may be blessed, it can not be such a way that endorses a relationship or endorses their sin. If the priest is doing otherwise he is wrong and going against church teaching.

@getrit3007 my point was that catholics not only have authoritative scripture but authoritative interpretation by which we can objectively say that priest is teaching error. As for all those denominations i listed, if you don't like the conservative interpretation in a methodist church, you can go down the street to the liberal or vice versa, but both are methodist. But since everything is personal interpretation, there is no heterodoxy or orthodoxy, just differing personal interpretations. And if you call a liberal version of your preferred denomination a heretic, well, that's just your personal interpretation.

There could not have been a symbol, however, unless there was first a true body. An empty thing or phantom is incapable of a symbol." (Against Marcion, 4.40) This is in the context of refuting the Docetic heresy of denying that Jesus had a physical body. But Tertullian clearly wrote that the bread is a symbol of His body.

Tradition really opens up the door for why we pray to Mary. The disconnect between Protestants and Catholics is Sola Scriptura. If you can ONLY focus on the Bible as your only source for Christian teachings then your limiting your understanding of Christianity. Trent said: The Word of God is how we know that praying to Mary is beneficial. The Word of God is both Scripture and Oral Tradition which is BTW IN SCRIPTURE. Paul says that much Christian teaching is to be found in the tradition which is handed down by word of mouth (2 Tim. 2:2). He instructs us to “stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter” (2 Thess. 2:15). I always have to point out that there isn’t any scripture verses that says Bible ALONE is our only authority. Again, that’s the disconnect. If you can show me the verse then I’ll gladly start answering all your questions.

“If one does it will either be out of context or twisted scripture”-You. This is not language of someone wanting to seek truth. You are asking these questions in the mindset of sola scriptura. First, you have to remove yourself out of this box to find the fullness of the faith. Be careful not to think in black and white (clearly In Bible/Not in Bible). The Bible was still being formulated throughout the first 300 years of the church, at the same time, the Church fathers and earliest Christians were establishing traditions and rituals. (Language Catholic Church uses): “Asking Mary for her intercession” was among these early traditions established as Trent said in the video. In the same way the Bible was put together so was the early Catholic Doctrine. Again, in the video, even though the lady put an ad right in between his best point, he says the earliest Christians were asking the apostles to pray for them and the earliest recorded prayer in history was asking the Theotokos “Mary” to pray for us. Many people hate what they think the Catholic Church is, but almost no one hates what’s the Catholic Church truly is.

@@melodybarbour3218 The Catholic Church has never taught such a doctrine and, in fact, has constantly condemned the notion that men can earn or merit salvation. Catholic soteriology (salvation theology) is rooted in apostolic Tradition and Scripture and says that it is only by God’s grace-completely unmerited by works-that one is saved. The Church teaches that it’s God’s grace from beginning to end which justifies, sanctifies, and saves us. As Paul explains in Philippians 2:13, “God is the one, who, for his good purpose, works in you both to desire and to work.” Notice that Paul’s words presuppose that the faithful Christian is not just desiring to be righteous, but is actively working toward it. This is the second half of the justification equation, and Protestants either miss or ignore it.

[23] And then I will declare to them "I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTIVE LAWLESSNESS.' Notice how the people talking to Jesus are saying, "Look what we did, look what we did." They did not have faith in Jesus for their salvation, they were working their way to heaven. In addressing your last paragraph. We are made righteous by faith in Jesus Christ.

If Christ Jesus and his apostles did indeed establish the Roman Catholic Church, then why is it that we look in vain, from Matthew through the Apocalypse or Revelation, for any mention whatsoever of the “Holy Father,” or a pope, a college of cardinals, archbishops, metropolitans, patriarchs, monsignors, right reverends, priests, abbots, monks and nuns? The Scriptural record does tell us of Christians being organized back there, but if the structure of the Catholic Church is in line with that of the early Christians, how is it that we find absolutely no mention of it, not even a hint regarding such an elaborate system? On the contrary, Jesus said: “Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave”; and, “One is your teacher, whereas all you are brothers. Moreover, do not call anyone your father on earth, for One is your Father, the heavenly One.”-Matt. 20:27; 23:8, 9, NW. Further, if Christ established the Roman Catholic Church, why is it that we look in vain in the Holy Bible for such expressions most current among her, such as trinity, purgatory, mass, immortal soul, lent, novenas, indulgences, penances, holy water, veneration of Mary, the Immaculate Conception, the Assumption of Mary, etc.? On the other hand, we read much in the Bible regarding subjects seldom mentioned by the Catholic clergy, such as regards sin’s wages being death, the hope of a resurrection, a new heavens and a new earth, and, above all, the importance of Jehovah’s name.-See Romans 6:23; John 5:28, 29; Revelation 20:5, 6; 2 Peter 3:13; Psalm 83:18; John 17:4, 6; Acts 15:14. Christ did not mix in politics. He told Pilate that his kingdom was no part of the world or else his followers would have fought to prevent his being delivered up. And said the disciple James: “Adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever, therefore, wants to be a friend of the world is constituting himself an enemy of God.” But the Catholic Church has for fifteen hundred years mixed in politics; a classic example being the shrewd, cunning and crafty Cardinal Richelieu, his example being so notorious that Roman Catholic-minded Hollywood did not dare portray him as a cardinal for fear of the wrath of the Catholic Church. Could we imagine a Peter, a John, playing the role of a Cardinal Richelieu?-John 18:36; James 4:4, NW. Then again, ever since her inception at the time of Constantine, the Catholic Church has used force to spread her teachings. Especially notorious in this regard was Charlemagne, the first emperor to be crowned by the pope. Consider also the lives of millions lost in the futile crusades, the wanton massacring of entire cities by the crusaders, men, women and children, even as did Roman Catholic generals during the religious wars of Europe, and as was done in Paris on St. Bartholomew’s night, 1572. Consider also the diabolical tortures inflicted by the dreaded Inquisition, which are without parallel in human history. Catholic apologists, such as Gibbons in his Faith of Our Fathers, would excuse these acts by pointing to intolerance practiced by Protestant sects. But that does not prove that Christ established the Catholic Church, but merely that he also did not establish such Protestant sects! In February, 1954, the public press headlined, “Italian Police Chisel Name Off U.S.-Financed Church,” indicating that the Catholic Church still practices intolerance. Yes, for it was Roman Catholic police, in Roman Catholic Italy (more than 99 per cent Roman Catholic, according to the Catholic Almanac), who chiseled the name of a Protestant church off its walls at the orders of Roman Catholic officials, orders that were based on a concordat signed by the Vatican and Mussolini. Could we imagine Jesus or his apostles causing such a thing to be done? On the contrary, they showed that Christians used spiritual weapons, their sword is God’s Word, and that vengeance belongs to Jehovah and he would repay.-2 Cor. 10:4; Rom. 12:19.

Methodist became a slur against his students that they proudly accepted. That's not to say I didn't study other branches of protestantism. I studied Calvin's doctrines for 10 years, read luther, Spurgeon, rc sproul, cs Lewis and listened to podcasts from Doug Wilson, James white, Michael brown, John MacArthur, Francis Chan, and about a dozen lesser known pastors like John Samson. All that study and perspective and I still found myself confused about some passages. The best pastors couldn't explain it.... for instance, I've never heard a logical reason why calvinists believe the Jewish had no choice in choosing christ. He literally weeps because they would not choose him. Eventually I figured nobody really has it figured out and we should all just do our best with interpretation. It's a crazy long story but I started investigating the catholic church to prove it wrong. Eventually I realized they were right and the true church. Honestly don't have a single Bible difficulty, all the doctrines are sound logic, all the traditions dig back into the first century. You should at least look into what we belive.

I'm not Catholic at all..... but..... some years ago I was in a secular choir rehearsal and we were singing a version of Ave Maria by the composer, Duruffle.... To my very great surprise I had this sudden and completely unexpected sense of something immensely feminine, humble, gentle, but also immensely powerful. I hesitate to say a "presence" but more an "awareness of an essence or quality" I began weeping and couldn't continue singing any more for a while. My occupation is a civic celebrant, conducting funerals for folk outside of any church affiliation. A few weeks after this surprise experience at the choir rehearsal, someone requested that I say a Hail Mary at a service, as the person had a Catholic background. I was hesitant, being a good baptist boy, but in the end went ahead with it. I was greatly surprised at how wonderful it felt to speak out those words even though I couldn't really understand why and it still felt a bit forbidden. Amazingly, just a few weeks later, somebody else asked me to do exactly the same thing, and so I obliged.... Fast forward a few years and I finally reached the end of the road with the baptist church, for a number of different reasons, even though they were a great bunch of people, and converted to Holy Orthodoxy, so - of course - I now have a completely different perception of and approach to the Mother of God, the Theotokos. I'll finish with the Orthodox version of the Hail Mary, a bit different to the Catholic one: "O Theotokos and Virgin, rejoice, O Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb; for thou hast borne the Saviour of our souls. I offer this all simply as a description of experiences that I have had that have changed my life, not as "proof" of anything at all.

Catholic convert from Presbyterian here, this was a fantastic interview, very charitable on both sides. Would love to hear more from Trent on justification and clear up the huge misunderstanding of the role of works - as he said we cannot merit initial justification, but our works can increase our sanctification once when we are justified. Catholics need to understand what our church teaches on this as well…we cannot earn salvation. Looking forward to part two!!!

@revelation1215 4 ай бұрын

Increasing our sanctification has nothing to do with earning salvation. For instance, Protestants often quote Ephesians 2:8-9 to say works don’t matter: 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God -- 9 not because of works, lest any man should boast. But then ignore the very next verse: _10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them._ Even Jesus says that not everyone who says Lord Lord will enter the kingdom but only the one who _does_ the will of the Father.

@SavedbytheLordsgrace1 4 ай бұрын

The works are a *by-product* of saving faith, but no good work a human being could do could ever merit salvation. That’s why verse 10 isn’t quoted, because verses 8-9 emphasise that salvation is GOD’S work and Catholics so often misunderstand v. 10 to argue that works save us. All saving faith will *produce* good works (otherwise it’s antinomian rubbish and not real faith), but to argue that good works produce or contribute to a person’s righteousness in any way, as Catholicism and the rest of the world does, is heresy and not true. Righteousness comes only from trusting in Christ. And when a person trusts in Jesus and is born again, then they can walk in the good works that He prepared for them in advance. (V. 10). Which shows that sanctification is also Jesus’s work, as He’s the Founder and Perfecter of the faith of those who trust in Him (Hebrews 12:2)

Is Mary the Mother of God? No, the Bible does not teach that Mary is the mother of God, nor does it suggest that Christians should either worship or venerate Mary. a Consider: • Mary never claimed that she was the mother of God. The Bible explains that she gave birth to “the Son of God,” not God himself.-Mark 1:1; Luke 1:32. • Jesus Christ never said that Mary was God’s mother or that she was worthy of special devotion. In fact, he corrected a woman who gave special attention to Mary’s happy role as his mother, saying: “No, rather, happy are those hearing the word of God and keeping it!”-Luke 11:27, 28. • The terms “Mother of God” and “Theotokos” (God-bearer) are not found in the Bible. • The expression “Queen of Heaven” in the Bible refers, not to Mary, but to a false goddess worshipped by apostate Israelites. (Jeremiah 44:15-19) The “Queen of Heaven” may have been Ishtar (Astarte), a Babylonian goddess. • Early Christians did not worship Mary, nor did they give her any special honor. One historian states that early Christians “would have rejected cults and probably feared that undue attention to Mary might evoke a suspicion of goddess worship.”-In Quest of the Jewish Mary. • The Bible says that God has always existed. (Psalm 90:1, 2; Isaiah 40:28) Since he had no beginning, he cannot have a mother. Furthermore, Mary could not have held God in her womb; the Bible makes clear that even the heavens cannot contain him.-1 Kings 8:27. Mary-Mother of Jesus not “Mother of God” Mary was Jewish by birth, and she was a direct descendant of King David. (Luke 3:23-31) She was highly favored by God for her faith and devotion. (Luke 1:28) God chose her to become the mother of Jesus. (Luke 1:31, 35) Along with her husband, Joseph, Mary had other children.-Mark 6:3. Although the Bible shows that Mary became a disciple of Jesus, not much additional information is given about her.-Acts 1:14. Why do some consider Mary the mother of God? The earliest evidence of devotion to Mary dates from the late fourth century C.E. At that time, the Catholic Church became the State religion of the Roman Empire. As a result, many who had a pagan background became nominal Christians. The church had also adopted the unscriptural teaching of the Trinity. The doctrine of the Trinity led many in the church to conclude that if Jesus were God, then Mary must be the mother of God. In 431 C.E., a church council in Ephesus officially proclaimed Mary the “Mother of God.” Mariolatry-the excessive veneration of Mary-flourished after this Council of Ephesus. And as those from a pagan background joined the church, images and icons of the Virgin Mary gradually took the place of their fertility goddesses, such as Artemis (Diana, to the Romans) and Isis. In 432 C.E., Pope Sixtus III ordered a church to be built in Rome in honor of the “Mother of God.” It was built near the site of an earlier temple erected in honor of Lucina, the Roman goddess of childbirth. One author described this church as “an enduring symbol of the assimilation of the Great Mother of the pagan cults to the cult of Mary after the Christianization of Rome.”-Mary-The Complete Resource.
