Debunking Heresy With A Catholic Priest - Fr. Chris Zugger

​@ThatGuy-nr5sp It's kinda like the case of the thief. So we all know he wasn't baptized or that he did any of the sacraments. Yet he was still saved without baptism. But if you look at it he had no opportunity to be Baptized so he was an exception. That's also with a baby because a baby can't be baptized by itself for the parents have to do it. What I'm saying is if you have no opportunity to be baptized it's and exception. Let's say the thief got down alive and knew about baptism but still refused to do it or the baby grew up and knew about baptism and still refused to do it. The things would've been different. And baptism absolutely is biblical, it's mentioned alot in acts and even in letters and gospels

right on first question it strikes me personally. i am a baptist, and while i love that we emphasize learning and understanding the bible before baptism, it is in that same bible we read that baptism is for everyone, and to withhold salvation from people who are deserving of it isnt a very christian thing to do. This really changes my perspective, im glad my grandparents who are the ones that taught me faith are accepting of me wanting to learn more about catholicism, i bought them a cross from the vatican when i went there, even though that would mean nothing to our branch of religion they deeply respected it, and that it was blessed by a bishop. i really wish we didnt break into separate branches of christianity, we would all be better under the original church

I’ve been a non-denominational Christian my entire life.

I was taught Catholics added to the Bible. But I’m finding out - Luther took books OUT. Which is wild to me, and scary. From the spiritual perspective…it seems smart of the devil to destroy tradition, take away leadership, still give people some of the Bible but not all of it, leave people to their own interpretation of the scriptures, etc. Very thankful for these videos you’ve been sharing!!

Therefore no more sacrifice is left for their sins, only fire. No?

[@calvinstein4479]

I didnt seen the whole video yet, but i have a question: What if a catholic christian family has a baby at age 1 and the baby is not baptised, because the parents are not that much believing. And the baby dies, will the baby go to heaven?

[@scipherfilter5913]

Of course! All babies who die go to heaven whether they were baptized or not because they are the innocent ones. What did Jesus say: Unless you be converted as like one of these little children then you will by no means enter into the kingdom of heaven.

[@calvinstein4479]

@@scipherfilter5913 Thank you!

[@mikejames303]

​​@@scipherfilter5913The Church teaches we cannot be sure of the status of children who aren't baptized. CCC 1261 says: we entrust our children who have died without baptism to the mercy of God. It doesn't claim to know what happens to babies who aren't baptized. Tradition has taught that they are in limbo until the return of Christ, but that isn't dogmatic. As catholics we can't claim to know for sure what happens to a child who isn't baptized, just that God is merciful. But we believe baptism isn't just symbolic, and regenerates one from original sin as well as all sin one has committed prior. It's how you become part of the Body of Christ and we believe that it's a necessity to be saved. Unless a Catholic is known to have lived an extraordinary virtuous life and died in a state of grace or if a Christian was martyred for their faith we cannot claim that they are in heaven with any certainty. It may not be the answer most people are looking for, or comforting, but it's what the Church teaches and as Catholics we cannot say otherwise.

God judges based on what we know not what we cannot know. If a baby cannot know it needs to be baptized it will not be judged for not being so.

I looked up all the households being baptized in acts but none mentioned an infant. acts 8:37, which is removed in most bibles both modern Protestants and Catholic bibles states that you have to claim to be a believer as a condition for baptism. Acts has a few stories of households being baptized. So what does this mean? That everyone in the house was old enough to say they believed in Jesus Christ. The Catholic argument assumes there were infants in the households. Not my opinion I’m trying to be as unbiased as possible.

[@bridgefin]

Households in those days were not single families but a collection of several families. It would have been unthinkable that there were no infants or young children among them.

[@fillup901]

@@bridgefin children can easily accept Jesus as their savior. Jesus even used children as the leading example of the faith we should have in Him. As for infants we would have to ASSUME that there weren’t while at the same time ignoring Acts 8:37.

[@bridgefin]

@@fillup901 LOL. Make up the history you need to support your agenda! You can also assume that every Jewish potential convert would laugh at Christianity. His son could come into the covenant with God at 8 days but would have to wait years under Christianity? Absurd.

@@fillup901 Acts 8 was addressed to an adult. There is no requirement in all of Scripture that a person believe before he is baptized. Likewise for the 8 day old boy who was brought into the covenant before he knew anything about that. Whole households were baptized according to Scripture. The early church baptized infants.

Do you have a detailed response on the council of florence and the second Vatican councils specifically on the issue of salvation? Council of Florence mentioned I beleive that schismastics, pagans and jews could not be saved and would go to eternal hellfire created for Angels unless united to christ through the church... but second Vatican council seems to have a universalistic view of salvation saying that even Muslims can be saved as long as the acknowledge the creator. Don't want to misrepresent the positions. But are these teachings dogmatic? Which position is right according to the catholic church. Thank you!

I’m so glad some Protestants actually make comments in a spirit of searching for truth as opposed to others who are so full of self righteousness that they spew scripture without actual understanding. The Orthodox priests also do a great job of correcting some of these Protestants… at least the Catholic Church isn’t the only one getting attacked by some Protestants.. 🤣🙏

THE PROTESTANT DOCTRINES OF SCRIPTURE ALONE AND FAITH ALONE ARE NOT BIBLICAL:.. ➔ The entire foundation of Protestantism is false:... ➔The Bible ITSELF Contradicts Luther's doctrine of "scripture alone" (solascriptura) The Bible tells us that the authority is THE CHURCH: ... ● 1 TIMOTHY 3:15 The pillar & foundation of TRUTH is the CHURCH. ● 2 TIMOTHY 2 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast HEARD from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. ● EPHESIANS 3:10 10 His intent was that now, THROUGH THE CHURCH, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, ● JOHN 21:25 Jesus said & did Many other things that are too numerous to be recorded in writing. ● 2 THESS 2:15 We are to hold fast to the TRADITIONS we have been given, either by WORD OF MOUTH or by the letter. ● 1 COR 11:2 I commend you because you remember me in everything, and maintain the TRADITIONS even as I have delivered them to you. ● HEB 13:17 Obey the eldars in the CHURCH. ● COR 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. ● HEBREWS 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. 2 COR 5:20 says that God appointed men in the Church to represent Him. And, in HEB 13:17, God appointed men in the Church to have the rule over His Flock. ● JOHN 13:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. ● MATT 18:15-17 15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto THE CHURCH: but IF HE NEGLECTS TO HEARTHE CHURCH let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. The True Church is a TEACHING Church: (to Teach means to impart knowledge that is not presently know....not in writing) ● JOHN 14:26-31 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall TEACH you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have SAID unto you. (Spoken words...not in writing) (To TEACH is to impart knowledge that is not presently known....not in writing) ● ACTS 8:31: And he said, HOW CAN I, (understand scripture) EXCEPT SOMEONE SHOULD GUIDE ME? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. (The scriptures are not for individual interpretation. They need the guidance of the CHURCH. It is PROTESTANTS who are following the doctrines of a man.) nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn ➨WORKS: The following scriptures all demand good works from us in order to emnter the kingdom of God and all of them were copied directly from the protestant version of the bible by Cynthia x:... 👉👉 Jesus himself contradicts the protestant doctrine of "faith alone" He tells us in Matt 25 that we must feed the hungry and clothe the naked if we expect to enter the kingdom of God, and he warns us that if we do not do these GOOD WORKS that we will be sent away into the eternal fire. Here's a few more scriptures that protestants skip over: ... 👉👉 EPHESIANS 2:10 (KJV) Protestants "prove" their false doctrine of "faith alone" By quoting EPH 2:8-9 👉👉 and they STOP before they get to number 10: 8 For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. (most protestants stop here instead of continuing on to 10): 👉👉 10 FOR WE ARE GOD'S WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS UNTO GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD HAS BEFORE ORDAINED, THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM. MOREE scriptures that demand good works from us: ● REV 20:12...The dead are judged BY THEIR WORKS. ● REV 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man ACCORDING TO HIS WORK shall be. ● REV 19:8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. ● JAMES 2:18 Faith without works is dead ● MATTEW 19:17 Jesus tells us if we want to enter into Life, we must keep the commandments. ● MATTHEW 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your GOOD DEEDSand glorify your Father in heaven. ● JAMES 2:24 A man is justified by works, and not by faith only. ● ROMANS 2:6 He will judge everyone ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. ● ROMANS 2:13 13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. ● MATTHEW 7:21 Not everyone who says to me: "Lord Lord will enter into the kingdom of heaven but only those WHO DO THE WILL OF MY FATHER. ● PHILIPPIANS 2:12-13 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING; 13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. ● MATT 25:35-40 JESUS tells us to feed the hungry & clothe the naked (good works). He further warns us that those who do NOT will be sent away into the eternal fire., but those who do these WORKS will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. ● LUKE 16:19-30 The story of Lazarus and the rich man shows us that the rich man went to hell for refusing to help Lazarus who was poor and hungry. (He refused to do good works) ● TITUS 3:14 KJV And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful. ● EPHESIANS 2:8-11 (KJV) Protestants "prove" their false doctrine of "faith alone" By quoting EPH 2:8-9 and they STOP before they get to number 10: 8 For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. (most protestants stop here instead of continuing on to 10): ➨ 10 FOR WE ARE GOD'S WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS UNTO GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD HAS BEFORE ORDAINED, THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM. ● 1 COR 9:27 (KJV) (Paul speaking) But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a cast away. ● MATT 12:36-37 36 But I say unto you, That every idle WORD THAT MEN SHALL SOEAK, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For BY THY WORDS THOU SHALL BE JUSTIFIED, and BY THY WORDS THOU SHALL BE CONDEMNED.
