Between 100 and 300 AD, people who weren't Christian would leave before the Eucharist to study the Word and the faith. That's what RCIA is. You study the Word and the faith so you know.

I started talking to some guy on discord, he is catholic, and for some reason I refused to believe some teachings. For example that Mary is sinless or that Pope has right to lead the entier church.

[@OlaguerBauza-Bisteni]

I'm a Presbyterian, and I respect Catholicism very much. But you should know that not all Protestants are Baptists, and that Presbyterians, Lutherans, and Anglicans all believe that baptism saves and that we truly feast on the body and blood of Christ during communion. As a Presbyterian, we also believe that faith without works is dead and that our faith is justified by our works. However, we believe that we only do these works BECAUSE we have faith. Works aren't what save us, it's our faith that save us, and that faith gives us works. Works are just proof of our faith. Another thing, Eastern Orthodox Christians also claim Jesus founded their church. Why are Catholics the church of Christ and not them? In reality, all churches have pastors that could trace their lineage back the Apostles. Martin Luther was a priest after all, so he carried that succession with him. Anyways, I enjoyed your video and pray for your success with this channel!

[@trying-to-learn]

Hi, I'm obviously not the video creator, but I thought I'd answer some of these questions about ecclesiology and try to have a conversation, especially since you seem so genuine and kind in your message. First, I want to establish something about marriage because it will serve as an analogy for the subsequent paragraphs. Let's say that you have a wedding and say your wedding vows, but when you get up there to say your vows, there is nothing about a lifelong union that lasts until death, nothing about the procreation and rearing of children, and nothing about the duties of marriage, such as fidelity, loyalty, sexual exclusivity, etc. Instead, the 'vows' consist of a series of quippy jokes meant to entertain your guests. Perhaps you are getting married because you want a party and you don't even really understand what marriage is. If you don't understand what marriage is, how can you enter into a lifelong commitment? Can you agree to something that you didn't understand or explicitly agree to? Were you truly even married? For the Catholic Church, the case against the Reformation-era confessional Churches (such as Presbyterianism, Anglicanism, and Lutheranism) that had previously ordained clergy is something akin to this. We maintain that even though you all initially had valid orders, you lost these orders due to an insufficient understanding and intention to pass them on. The reason that the Catholic Church denies apostolic succession to the Presbyterians is precisely because you all deny the episcopacy. You all collapse the distinction between presbyters and bishops into them all being priests/elders. Since Catholic theology teaches that only bishops can ordain new men to the priesthood, you all not acknowledging the reality of episcopate becomes a major problem for the validity of your apostolic succession. The reason that the Catholic Church denies apostolic succession to the Anglicans and Lutherans is similar. While they maintain the episcopacy, they do not recognize the sacrificial nature of the mass and therefore the priesthood. We Catholics recognize that the priest acts in the person of Christ during the mass and during confession, and the lack of intention to keep this as an essential part of the priesthood would be like possessing the lack of intention to have a lifelong union when getting married. Add onto this, when you introduce women to your holy orders, this messes with the ordination rites even more: women cannot be ordained to holy orders, so any attempt is invalid by its very nature. As for the Eastern Orthodox, the Catholic Church actually maintains that they continue to have valid holy orders to this very day. They have bishops, priests, and real Eucharists. The Catholic Church maintains that they, along with other schismatic groups like the Oriental Orthodox or the sedevacantists, are particular churches with apostolic succession but separated from THE Church of Christ that Jesus founded. The marker of truth and unity in the Catholic framework is the Papacy; bishops in communion with the Bishop of Rome are assured of their orthodoxy and united to the Church of Christ.

[@vngelicath1580]

​​​​​​​@@trying-to-learn on the issue of succession, that's conjecture. Apostolicae Curae (which denied Anglican orders) did not apply to Lutherans, nor to the idea of whether episcopal succession was passed on (in irregular form) but to sacrificial intention alone. As such, the problem with that promulgation is that it raises the bar so high that by its own standards, it unintentionally condemns every Eucharistic/Ordination rite East and West, ancient and modern (including the rites of Paul VI) -- except for the Tridentine rite. The idea of the Eucharistic sacrifice and sacrificial priesthood was much more nebulous in the early church; ecumenical research and liturgical studies has complicated the matter even at the official level. As for the papacy, that's the contended issue by everyone except for the Roman catholics, and as such the bare assertion that communion with the Pope is necessary for the being of the church's catholicity is highly spurious as you are assuming what you need to prove.

[@trying-to-learn]

CYPRIAN OF CARTHAGE “The Lord says to Peter: ‘I say to you,’ he says, ‘that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever things you bind on earth shall be bound also in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth, they shall be loosed also in heaven’ [Matt. 16:18-19]). … On him [Peter] he builds the Church, and to him he gives the command to feed the sheep [John 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were also what Peter was [i.e., apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, whereby it is made clear that there is but one Church and one chair. So too, all [the apostles] are shepherds, and the flock is shown to be one, fed by all the apostles in single-minded accord. If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he [should] desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church?” (The Unity of the Catholic Church 4; 1st edition [A.D. 251]).

Non-denominational Evangelical here! I appreciate the Catholic Church greatly for it's history, architecture and (for the parts that haven't been infected by liberalism like has happened in every mainline denomination in this day and age) the adherence to tradition has immense value so thank you very much for maintaining that. My disagreements come from practice and history not really theology. All institutions of man, including Churches, have the potential for corruption (Jesus warned against this in Matthew 7:15) and smaller Churches naturally have an easier time rooting out the wolves in sheep's clothing if and when they do appear, whereas I see via people like Redeemed Zoomer show, the larger churches are having a really difficult time getting rid of the modern-day heretics that twist or outright disregard the gospel to their own ends. "For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them." - Matthew 18:20, I think today smaller congregations that can build a real personal connection with people in an age where true community has all but died out in the name of tolerance and secularism, in a way that a large institution based on the opposite side of the world cannot. It's also worth remembering that prior to the reformation the Bible was only in Latin ad the original manuscripts so the average person couldn't read it, then Martin Luther translated it to German and Henry the 8th had it translated into English so now everybody could read the scripture. As long as you're keeping the Gospel and the recorded tradition above whatever current Church leadership says, y'all are a boon to the faith. God bless you, brother.

Would love a video on the geopolitics of the papacy. I think the platonic version of the papacy pushed by Catholic apologists is appealing. But the reality of the Vatican seems to be a modernist everchanging position used by the global elite to push homosexuality or other agendas such as communism. It’s fun to debate Thomism and high level apologetics but at the end of the day that’s not what the papacy is anymore, it hasn’t been since the early 1900s. The Papacy has basically reneged on all of their teachings from Vatican I at this point.

As a Lutheran, I agree 100%. Baptism saves us. We must be fed by the true Body and Blood of Christ. And we must show forth our salvation, received by grace alone, through our good works, which by themselves don't save us (this we might have a bit of disagreement). Unfortunately, all you mentioned in the video is the fruit of popular evangelicalism. Lutherans never intended to break away from the teachings of the Church. Now, if I may ask you, how would you describe other strong Catholic beliefs? For example: immaculate conception of Mary, purgatory, treasury of merit, invocation of the saints, etc? I don't think there's much biblical, or even patristic support for those. Now, I might be wrong, that's why I would love to hear your opinion on those, if possible.

Jesus is teaching the Pharisees in this verse that the Kingdom of God is not something that you can see. Jesus is teaching that it is not us within the Kingdom, it's the Kingdom that is within us. I trust and acknowledge the tradition and truths within Catholicism, but surely the full truth of the Gospel comes from and through Jesus alone, not from or through the church.

Did Jesus changed this bread to be his body? John 6:48 "I am that bread of life." Was this verse preached in the context of last supper? Here's the whole context from verse 48 to verse 52: "I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" This is not in the context of the last supper. You don't wanna eat manna and be dead.

Catholic Christianity and Orthodox Christianity can be viewed as “pre-denominational” and the Latin Church and Eastern Churches (in and out of communion with Rome) are to be seen as the only proper churches with valid sacraments / apostolic succession. This is what separates ancient apostolic Christianity from Protestant Christianity with its many denominations and revivalists/restorationists movements. Even the most high-church and historic churches of Protestantism are lacking severely because they have no sacraments and no valid apostolic succession.

@@mrjohnson1627 I’m just giving the official line from the Catholic Church. Catholics/Orthodox don’t recognize Anglicanism as a whole as having a legit priesthood. At least, not automatically or across the board. This is different from how we Catholics see the Eastern Churches.

[@edim108]

Except all the historic, mainline Protestant denominations like Lutheranism, Presbyterianism or Anglicanism sprung out of Catholic church by already ordaned priests. Martin Luther was an ordaned Catholic priest and a doctor of theology and while Calvin wasn't a priest other reformers and reformed pastors were ordaned priests. Mainline Reformation was never supposed to create new denominations, it was to reform the Catholic Church and purge it of many evils that plagued it back then. It was the Radical Reformation with movements like Anabaptists and Mennonites that saught to start over from scratch, not mainline protestants. And even if we disregard that then the evidence for apostolic succession being a requirement is tenuous at best. Mark 9:38-41:" “Teacher,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.” “Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, for whoever is not against us is for us. Truly I tell you, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to the Messiah will certainly not lose their reward."

[@potapotapotapotapotapota]

What makes a Church is not apostolic succession. We do not base our religion on unquantifiable things like that, we base it on faith in Jesus alone. For Jesus calls us all to believe in Him personally, and as the Scriptures say "where 2 or 3 are gathered, there I am with them."

What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that *worketh not*, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: *Not of works*, lest any man should boast.

As a Catholic who has Protestant family members and has lived in an Islamic country i could not agree more, I grew up seeing Protestant churches as well as Catholic and the difference between how they handled the Bible and the church was astonishing. The Catholic faith is the full truth, and while others have some truths but a half truth is not the truth. What ultimately drove my faith in Catholicism was the history, the way the Catholic Church shows that it is the church of god, and truthfully how the Protestant church conducts itself and its beliefs. The biggest problem with the Protestant faith in my opinion is that to fallow the beliefs of the Protestant faith is to deny the word of god “And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” Jesus Christ. Matthew 16:18 And to believe in the Protestant faith was to believe that gods church was corrupted that is what Calvin and Martin Luther believed so i cannot place my trust in a institution that was built as a rebellion against gods church.

[@potapotapotapotapotapota]

Saying that Protestants have denied God because they do not want to go to a church that itself denies the teachings of Jesus is completely illogical. The Church of God is not a building, it is the people themselves that believe in Jesus and follow after Him. If a group of people who meet up in a building and claim to be Christian taught something contrary to the Gospel, let that group of people be anathema as Paul says in the Bible (Galatians 1:8). Even Jesus in the Book of Revelation says that He will take away His blessing from any church that no longer follows after Him. "To the church of Laodaceia ... I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth." This is a warning from God that if you stray from Him then your church will no longer belong to Him.

[@potapotapotapotapotapota]

@@bigjoem9808 I could name more than one thing. But I think the biggest teaching in Catholicism that goes against Jesus' teachings is that you have to obey the traditions of Catholicism in addition to your faith to be saved. Matthew 16:18 does not convince me that the true Church has continued through the Catholic tradition per se, it just means that the Church itself will continue through randomly chosen, backwater people and that God has used them to do great things. Most importantly, God used them to record His Word, in the historical Gospel accounts and in the letters to the churches. But if anyone leading the Church, even if they were chosen by God, were to teach something contrary to the Gospel, then I would no longer consider them to be apart of that promise in Matthew 16:18. You can claim that modern Catholicism is a continuation of the original church all you want, but it makes no difference if what they teach contradicts the Bible. Like if the Catholic church or the Pope were to suddenly teach that you could only get to Heaven by facing East and saying a hundred arbitrary gibberish incantations every single day then I would consider that church to be teaching heresy. If you were to just blindly obey such a teaching then I would question if you are even capable of critical thought. For Jesus said "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword." Matthew 10:34-36 shows us that divisions in the Church are to be expected,. The truth is that lies will always be taught and people will believe whatever they want to believe, based on their motivations. But if you are just going to blindly obey what you have been taught without wrestling with it then you could end up believing something that contradicts the Gospel and no longer be saved. The whole book of Hebrews is dedicated to this - there were Jews in the Church that were teaching people that they needed to follow the Jewish Laws and traditions in addition to their faith to be saved, and the writer told the Church not to believe them one bit. The simple fact is that we need nothing except faith in God to be saved. We do not do good works to prove we are saved, we do good works out of appreciation towards God for the fact that WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN SAVED!! The thief on the cross didn't have to lift a finger to get to Heaven. He was already on His was to Hell, but He heard the words of Jesus and believed, and Jesus told him that was all that was necessary to be saved. No church attendance, no prayers, no worship music--NOTHING!! That's what makes the Gospel so life changing - it reveals to us the nature of God, that He loves us unconditionally and we don't have to perform for Him or earn His love. God teaches us what Love truly is. And when we realize that, we become capable of that kind of love and are able to put to death our sinful nature and live with Him forever in Heaven.

But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!" Keep in mind that Jesus was physically baptised already. That does mean that baptism doesn't always mean water baptism. Baptism mean to be immersed right? Baptism which Jesus teaches he needs to be baptised with is him having our punishment on his body in hell when he was for three days and three nights after which he rose again.

Dear Eastern orthodox that will inevitably flood this comment section, No Hate. Quoted in “Athanasius Quoted works” page 110 Pope Julius Letter to the eusebians at Antioch “And why is nothing said to us (The Apostolic see) concerning the Alexandrians in particular, are you ignorant that the custom has been for word to be written first to us and then for a just decision to be passed from this place” so he is saying in the matter of disputes matter should be brought to the see of Rome as to make a judgment and this is the east he is speaking to not just his patriarchal territories. Then he goes on and says “I beseech you readily bare with me what i write is for the common good, for what we have received from the Blessed apostle Peter that i signify unto you and i should have not written this as deeming that these things should be manifest unto all men had not these proceedings so disturbed us” some might say this is peter syndrome where we get all giddy and excited when peter is mentioned and Rome is mentioned but i would like to say Pope Julius said he has received something from the Blessed apostle Peter that disputes in the east should be brought to his judgment to be settled. Now from the writings of the early Church Historian sozomen source: Volume 2 of the nicene and post nicene fathers second series. Book 3 Chapter 10. Heres what he says about this whole affair of Pope Julius writing to the antiochians and what he ment in that segment “the bishops of Egypt having sent the declaration in writing, that these allegations were false and julius having been apprised (to give information to someone) that Athanasius was far from being in safety in egypt send for him to his own city he replied at the same time to the letter of the bishops who were convened at antioch (convened: to bring together a group of people for a meeting, or to meet for a meeting) for just then he happened to receive the epistle and accused them of having planned clandestinely(in a secretive and illicit way.) introduced innovations Contrary to the nicene dogmas and of having violated the laws of the church by neglecting to invite him to join their synod for he alleged that is a sacral Canon which declares that whatever is enacted contrary to the bishop of Rome is null.” Next we have From the Seventh Ecumenical council in 787, “Stand firm; for if you abide with perseverance in the orthodox Faith in which you have begun and so through you the sacred and venerable images are restored in those regions to their former state-just as the lord and emperor Constantine of pious memory and blessed Helena, who promulgated the orthodox Faith, raised up the holy, catholic, and apostolic church of Rome as your spiritual mother, and with the other orthodox emperors venerated it as the head of all the churches…” "...of all the churches... If, moreover, following the traditions of the orthodox faith, you embrace the judgment of the church of the blessed Peter prince of the apostles and, as the holy emperors your predecessors did of old, so you too venerate it with honor and love his vicar from the depths of your hearts, or rather if your rule granted by God follows their orthodox faith in accordance with our holy Roman church, the prince of the apostles, to whom was given by the Lord God the power to bind and to loose sins in heaven and on earth." Also in Nicea II the Pope if referred to as the Chief Priest, The other bishops are referred to as High Priests. Heres Some early church fathers, the blessed (Saint) Cyril, bishop of Alexandria, says: "That we may remain members of our apostolic head, the throne of the Roman Pontiffs, of whom it is our duty to seek what we are to believe and what we are to hold, venerating him, beseeching him above others; for his it is to reprove, to correct, to appoint, to loose, and to bind in place of Him Who set up that very throne, and Who gave the fulness of His own to no other, but to him alone, to whom by divine right all bow the head, and the primates of the world are obedient as to our Lord Jesus Christ Himself.” St. Innocent, Pope of Rome (401-417) The reply of Pope St. Innocent in 417 to the Africans concerning their appeal on the controversy of Pelagius/Celestius goes like this: “In making inquiry with respect to those things that should be treated with all solicitude by bishops, and especially by a true and just and Catholic Council, by preserving, as you have done, the example of ancient tradition, and by being mindful of ecclesiastical discipline, you have truly strengthened the vigour of our Faith, no less now in consulting us than before in passing sentence. For you decided that it was proper to refer to our judgement, knowing what is due to the Apostolic See, since all we who are set in this place, desire to follow the Apostle (Peter) from whom the very episcopate and whole authority of this name is derived. Following in his steps, we know how to condemn the evil and to approve the good. So also, you have by your sacerdotal office preserved the customs of the Fathers, and have not spurned that which they decreed by a divine and not human sentence, that whatsoever is done, even though it be in distant provinces, should not be ended without being brought to the knowledge of this See, [39] that by its authority the whole just pronouncement should be strengthened, and that from it all other Churches (like waters flowing from their natal source and flowing through the different regions of the world, the pure streams of one incorrupt head), should receive what they ought to enjoin, whom they ought to wash, and whom that water, worthy of pure bodies, should avoid as defiled with uncleansable filth. I congratulate you, therefore, dearest brethren, that you have directed letters to us by our brother and fellow-bishop Julius, and that, while caring for the Churches which you rule, you also show your solicitude for the well-being of all, and that you ask for a decree that shall profit all the Churches of the world at once; [40] so that the Church being established in her rules and confirmed by this decree of just pronouncement against such errors, may be unable to fear those men, etc.” The Roman Pontiff has "the care of all the churches." (Innocent I, Denz. 218; Leo I, Serm. 5.2 ML 54.153). He is "the head of all the churches." (Boniface I, Denz. 233; "Decree of Gelasius," Denz. 350; Hadrian I, Mansi 12.1081). Celestine writes "The order of bishops is also the subject of supreme and full power." The "Prefatory note of explanation" adds to these words the following declaration: "This must necessarily be admitted, lest the fulness of the power of the Roman Pontiff be injured... In other words the distinction is made not between the Roman Pontiff and the bishops taken together, but between the Roman Pontiff taken alone and the Roman Pontiff together with the bishops." Saint Ambrose: The Roman see is the source of all rights in the church, Amrose: “From that see derive into all, the rights of the venerable communion” “Rome has spoken, Case closed” This Famous axiom derives from Augustine saying about the pelagian heresy: “Concerning this question two conciliar decisions have been sent to the Apostolic see: Also rescripts came from there, hence the Trial is over.” Serm 131:10 ML 38.734 Augustine : “the sovereignty of the apostolic chair was always in the Roman Church.”serm 131 epist 43. | St Jerome “I kept the unity in communion with your beatitude, that is, with Peter’s chair. I know that the church has been built upon that Rock” Epist to Pope Damascus ML 22.335 Pope Vigilius came to become Pope amid much turmoil in 537, as his predecessor, St Silverius, had been accused of treason, defrocked, and exiled by Belisarius, the general under Empress Theodora. Silverius had refused to re-instate the monophysite patriarch of Constantinople, whom Pope Agapetus had deposed - even here, a recognition of the canonical authority of Rome to depose and judge the other most prominent and important Sees of Christendom was something the Popes fought bitterly to maintain against the emperors. Where was this canonical authority established? In fact, it was as old as the Church itself. When Athanasius had been exiled by a judgment of the Alexandrian Church, Pope Julius had written on his behalf (341): “Judgment ought to have been made, not as it was, but according to the ecclesiastical canon. It behoved you all to write us so that the justice of it might be seen as emanating from all.” Again: “Are you ignorant that the custom has been to write first to us and then for a just decision to be passed from this place [Rome]?”

As a Lutheran Christian I agree with a lot of what you said (especially when it came to what you said about the Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion). One thing I notice with these videos is that they often don't talk about Protestantism, but rather about Baptist or Non-Denominational Protestantism (with, for examples, parts talking about the fact that they only consider the Sacraments to be mere symbols). This sadly leaves out a huge part of Protestantism, namley the historic protestant traditions (Lutheranism, Protestantism, Anglicanism...) who do have more orthodox and traditional theology, as well as traces to the early Church Father and apostolic succession. Remember that the only reason the Lutheran and Catholic church are separate are because Luther was excomunicated and thus unable to reform the Catholic one. He never intendent to start something new.

I appreciate the video. However I personally would make the argument that the early church held to Protestant doctrines. We need to remember also the early church fathers were in Christian infancy with their theology. (Nothing against them, but they are building of the backs of hardly anyone. Only so much of them can go around.) I say this to say that we need to be really careful on what we accept. I have studied Catholicism and I have read many church fathers. The Catholic Church really started with emperor Constantine. And over the next several years more and more of their doctrines changed and came about. Throughout time the church started to fall away from true doctrines as the church became power hungry. Martin Luther did not start his own church. He reformed it. He reformed it back to what scripture says the church should be. Back to what the church was before corruption of man. Yes by the grace of God Christianity has prevailed. But Roman Catholicism was its near death. Take time and study each doctrine and where it originated from. Go back and see what other theologians said about those ideas. And dear brother “Always” compare it with scripture. You talked about baptism saving and how the fathers and scripture say this. Protestants agree with this. But the Bible says we are baptized by the Holy Spirit (Lk 3:15-17; 1 Cor 12:13). This is a spiritual baptism. We are saved through baptism of the Spirit. Galatians 3:27 for as many of you baptized with Christ have put on Christ. Baptism is not us saving ourselves with a sprinkle or dunk of water, but the Holy Spirit who baptized us in his death and resurrection. This view is necessitated in Scripture for these reasons. 1:The Bible shows people can be saved before baptism simply by hearing the word of God (Acts 10:44-48). 2: people may be baptized but remain slaves of sin (acts 8:13-23; Cor 10:1-5). 3: Paul said “Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel” (1cor 1:17) which would be inconceivable if baptism were ordinary means of regeneration. Baptism does not confer regeneration. 4: Ezekiel 36:25-27 foretells the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The Bible says we are saved by faith and not by works. How can Titus tell us by faith and James tell us by works? It is because there are different levels of faith. James tells us that faith without works is a dead faith. Because if we truly love the Lord then we will fully submit to His law and we will do good works. It is not the works that saves us. But the works testify to our faith. This is very important in baptism. For if we were saved by the physical act of baptism, then we would be saved by a work. But if we are saved by the baptism of the Spirit then we have a gift that no one can boast in. The Catholic Church whether they admit or not is works based salvation. But scripture says that our deeds are filthy rags. Nothing we do is good without Jesus. Jesus paid it all and covers us in righteousness because without Him our greatest merit is enough for eternal punishment. We are saved by imputed righteousness of Christ. 2 Cor 5:21 for our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. I know you will probably disagree with this. But remember that knowing someone else’s side goes both ways. The Protestant view of baptism saving is different, the Protestant view of justification and sanctification are different. Make sure you know their views. I recommend to understand what Reformed Christians believe listen to something by Ligonier, and R.C Sproul, or read a systematic theology by Joel Bekee or Van Mastricht, or read Vitringa, or Calvin, Sinclair Ferguson, Hoekema, Robert Godfrey. Before you critique Protestantism make sure you fulfill your assignment to those who critique Catholicism. Love you dear brother. I pray that God will grant you wisdom in all your endeavors. Wheather that makes you a very strong Catholic or a very strong Protestant. If you have any challenges or questions I would be more than happy to help.

I'm an Orthodox Christian. With respect, I want to share with you why I'm Orthodox, and why you should be Orthodox as well. 1) Vatican 1 (which is the First Vatican Council from 1869-70) defined papacy just simply did not exist in the first millennium Church. The Vatican itself has even admitted to this fact in its 2023 Alexandria document (parts 0.1 to 1.3, and 5.1 to 5.4), and in its 2016 Chieti document (parts 2, 3, 13, 16 and especially 19). The early Church knew no such thing as a single bishop having unilateral universal jurisdiction over the other bishops-and we know that the Church is “the pillar and ground of the truth” (1 Tim 3:15). 2) Roman Catholic dogma changes, even on matters as important as salvation. Roman Catholics went from dogmatically teaching strict, literal, no salvation outside of communion with Bishop of Rome [4th Lateran Council canon 1+its dozens of supporting Papal encyclicals], to now dogmatically teaching that Jews and Muslims hold to the “same faith as Abraham” [Lumen Gentium point 16, and Nostra Aetate from Vatican 2 point 3], and non-Roman Catholics are now venerated as Roman Catholic Saints somehow [21 Coptic Martyrs, Orthodox St Sergius of Radonezh, etc.]. How could the “one true Church” acknowledge other churches as being true churches? This is self-refuting. 3) If someone wants to be in the one Church that Jesus Christ himself established in 1st century Jerusalem, his only two serious options are Eastern Orthodox or Roman Catholic. Roman Catholics acknowledge the real presence of Christ in the Eastern Orthodox Eucharist, but Eastern Orthodox do not recognize the validity of the Roman Catholic Eucharist. And if we have ever read John 6:53-54, we know not to play games or take any risks with the Eucharist. May the Holy Trinity guide us all in all things , and lead us into all truth through the prayers of our holy fathers. It's a great video, and I'm so happy you've been searching deeper into your faith, but when you look underneath the surface you realize Orthodoxy is the ONLY preserved faith of Christianity. I'm willingly to answer any questions you may have. God bless you! ❤☦

There’s only 2 things I would like to point out in what you’ve stated. The first, is that a saint can come from anywhere. Of course, as Catholics we have a standard for what makes them saints but, they are not recognized by the Church as “Catholic Saints”, just saints. Secondly, I’ve never known the Church as a whole to ever suggest that Islam is aligned with the teachings of Abraham. Only Muslims will claim that Islam even existed before Muhammad. And Jews are the direct descendants of Abraham’s people so, I’m not even sure what you’re suggesting there. Also, to suggest, that because the Orthodox Church “doesn’t mess around”, that the validity of transubstantiation in the Catholic Church, especially when we accept the Orthodox priest through apostolic succession also have this capability, is not the real transformation into the Body and Blood of Christ, seems more spiteful than anything.

Brother I love your commitment to God, and I hope you know that as a Catholic I have passion just as your own, but I don't think the point of our faiths right now is to debate that one religion is best over the other, and whether we should convert. I think its time we got to know about each others beliefs, and realize we both believe mostly the same things. I pray that through the holy spirit we may all one day soon reunite together in communion as one Christian Church under God as he Jesus intended, God Bless you in all of your life, and may we meet in heaven!

Here Ill provide some papal primacy in the early church, Quoted in “Athanasius Quoted works” page 110 Pope Julius Letter to the eusebians at Antioch “And why is nothing said to us (The Apostolic see) concerning the Alexandrians in particular, are you ignorant that the custom has been for word to be written first to us and then for a just decision to be passed from this place” so he is saying in the matter of disputes matter should be brought to the see of Rome as to make a judgment and this is the east he is speaking to not just his patriarchal territories. Then he goes on and says “I beseech you readily bare with me what i write is for the common good, for what we have received from the Blessed apostle Peter that i signify unto you and i should have not written this as deeming that these things should be manifest unto all men had not these proceedings so disturbed us” some might say this is peter syndrome where we get all giddy and excited when peter is mentioned and Rome is mentioned but i would like to say Pope Julius said he has received something from the Blessed apostle Peter that disputes in the east should be brought to his judgment to be settled. Now from the writings of the early Church Historian sozomen source: Volume 2 of the nicene and post nicene fathers second series. Book 3 Chapter 10. Heres what he says about this whole affair of Pope Julius writing to the antiochians and what he ment in that segment “the bishops of Egypt having sent the declaration in writing, that these allegations were false and julius having been apprised (to give information to someone) that Athanasius was far from being in safety in egypt send for him to his own city he replied at the same time to the letter of the bishops who were convened at antioch (convened: to bring together a group of people for a meeting, or to meet for a meeting) for just then he happened to receive the epistle and accused them of having planned clandestinely(in a secretive and illicit way.) introduced innovations Contrary to the nicene dogmas and of having violated the laws of the church by neglecting to invite him to join their synod for he alleged that is a sacral Canon which declares that whatever is enacted contrary to the bishop of Rome is null.” Next we have From the Seventh Ecumenical council in 787, “Stand firm; for if you abide with perseverance in the orthodox Faith in which you have begun and so through you the sacred and venerable images are restored in those regions to their former state-just as the lord and emperor Constantine of pious memory and blessed Helena, who promulgated the orthodox Faith, raised up the holy, catholic, and apostolic church of Rome as your spiritual mother, and with the other orthodox emperors venerated it as the head of all the churches…” "...of all the churches... If, moreover, following the traditions of the orthodox faith, you embrace the judgment of the church of the blessed Peter prince of the apostles and, as the holy emperors your predecessors did of old, so you too venerate it with honor and love his vicar from the depths of your hearts, or rather if your rule granted by God follows their orthodox faith in accordance with our holy Roman church, the prince of the apostles, to whom was given by the Lord God the power to bind and to loose sins in heaven and on earth." Also in Nicea II the Pope if referred to as the Chief Priest, The other bishops are referred to as High Priests. Heres Some early church fathers, the blessed (Saint) Cyril, bishop of Alexandria, says: "That we may remain members of our apostolic head, the throne of the Roman Pontiffs, of whom it is our duty to seek what we are to believe and what we are to hold, venerating him, beseeching him above others; for his it is to reprove, to correct, to appoint, to loose, and to bind in place of Him Who set up that very throne, and Who gave the fulness of His own to no other, but to him alone, to whom by divine right all bow the head, and the primates of the world are obedient as to our Lord Jesus Christ Himself.” St. Innocent, Pope of Rome (401-417) The reply of Pope St. Innocent in 417 to the Africans concerning their appeal on the controversy of Pelagius/Celestius goes like this: “In making inquiry with respect to those things that should be treated with all solicitude by bishops, and especially by a true and just and Catholic Council, by preserving, as you have done, the example of ancient tradition, and by being mindful of ecclesiastical discipline, you have truly strengthened the vigour of our Faith, no less now in consulting us than before in passing sentence. For you decided that it was proper to refer to our judgement, knowing what is due to the Apostolic See, since all we who are set in this place, desire to follow the Apostle (Peter) from whom the very episcopate and whole authority of this name is derived. Following in his steps, we know how to condemn the evil and to approve the good. So also, you have by your sacerdotal office preserved the customs of the Fathers, and have not spurned that which they decreed by a divine and not human sentence, that whatsoever is done, even though it be in distant provinces, should not be ended without being brought to the knowledge of this See, [39] that by its authority the whole just pronouncement should be strengthened, and that from it all other Churches (like waters flowing from their natal source and flowing through the different regions of the world, the pure streams of one incorrupt head), should receive what they ought to enjoin, whom they ought to wash, and whom that water, worthy of pure bodies, should avoid as defiled with uncleansable filth. I congratulate you, therefore, dearest brethren, that you have directed letters to us by our brother and fellow-bishop Julius, and that, while caring for the Churches which you rule, you also show your solicitude for the well-being of all, and that you ask for a decree that shall profit all the Churches of the world at once; [40] so that the Church being established in her rules and confirmed by this decree of just pronouncement against such errors, may be unable to fear those men, etc.” The Roman Pontiff has "the care of all the churches." (Innocent I, Denz. 218; Leo I, Serm. 5.2 ML 54.153). He is "the head of all the churches." (Boniface I, Denz. 233; "Decree of Gelasius," Denz. 350; Hadrian I, Mansi 12.1081). Celestine writes "The order of bishops is also the subject of supreme and full power." The "Prefatory note of explanation" adds to these words the following declaration: "This must necessarily be admitted, lest the fulness of the power of the Roman Pontiff be injured... In other words the distinction is made not between the Roman Pontiff and the bishops taken together, but between the Roman Pontiff taken alone and the Roman Pontiff together with the bishops." Saint Ambrose: The Roman see is the source of all rights in the church, Amrose: “From that see derive into all, the rights of the venerable communion” “Rome has spoken, Case closed” This Famous axiom derives from Augustine saying about the pelagian heresy: “Concerning this question two conciliar decisions have been sent to the Apostolic see: Also rescripts came from there, hence the Trial is over.” Serm 131:10 ML 38.734 Augustine : “the sovereignty of the apostolic chair was always in the Roman Church.”serm 131 epist 43. | St Jerome “I kept the unity in communion with your beatitude, that is, with Peter’s chair. I know that the church has been built upon that Rock” Epist to Pope Damascus ML 22.335 Pope Vigilius came to become Pope amid much turmoil in 537, as his predecessor, St Silverius, had been accused of treason, defrocked, and exiled by Belisarius, the general under Empress Theodora. Silverius had refused to re-instate the monophysite patriarch of Constantinople, whom Pope Agapetus had deposed - even here, a recognition of the canonical authority of Rome to depose and judge the other most prominent and important Sees of Christendom was something the Popes fought bitterly to maintain against the emperors. Where was this canonical authority established? In fact, it was as old as the Church itself. When Athanasius had been exiled by a judgment of the Alexandrian Church, Pope Julius had written on his behalf (341): “Judgment ought to have been made, not as it was, but according to the ecclesiastical canon. It behoved you all to write us so that the justice of it might be seen as emanating from all.” Again: “Are you ignorant that the custom has been to write first to us and then for a just decision to be passed from this place [Rome]?”

3:20 I'm glad you mention 1 Peter 3:21 because this verse proves baptism with water is symbolic. It literally states that "this water SYMBOLIZES BAPTISM", and since baptism in the Spirit is what saves us, baptism by water will never save us. Baptism by water is symbolism for our baptism in Spirit. Baptism in Spirit does save you, not of water.

[@HaedonPL]

In this context it says that water which symbolizes baptism is water in Noah day. Baptism can have different meaning in scripture because baptism just means immersion. For example Jesus said in Luke 12 "I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!". He's not talking about water baptism but actually about being immersed in hell and taking our punishment. We are saved because he took our sins on his body. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thy shall be saved :)).

[@Catholic_Rock]

You’re very wrong in this. And to believe that it is a symbol is a matter of salvific issue. I recommend you go read the old testament and truly see how our Lord has been using water to cleanse since before the incarnation of our Christ.

@@Catholic_Rock What do you say about 1 Corinthins 1 and 3? Or do you just agree that the church should be divided over everything?

[@Catholic_Rock]

@@connorallgood0922 Crispus was the one Paul baptized and made leader of the church of Corinth. He was a Jewish leader that was baptized by Paul and Gaius was also baptized by Paul and made to be a host of the church of Corinth. You see here the discussion of Baptism and the quarrels that it created in the early church. And if you were to understand and accept apostolic succession you would understand that Paul was an apostle not just a disciple of Christ. Saint Soterios succeeded Saint Paul and was the bishop of Corinth. Why is this important? Because you asked me if I believe the church should be divided and the answer is no. The Catholic Church remains united and has been for 2,000+ years now. It is the Protestants, LDS’s, the 7th day Adventist, the Jehovah Witnesses that are separated from the Holy See. 🇻🇦. We apostolic Christians are still following all of Christ’s teaching, traditions, and leadership. We submit and continue to believe and wait for Christs return. Jesus is only coming for one bride and that is the Catholic Church and the saints of His church. Let he who hears hear. May God bless you. 🙏🇻🇦🕊️✝️
