If youe believe, have faith n obey then no you can't lose your salvation. However if it's only lip speak and the hearts not involved then there was no salvation to begin with. Believing is obeying.. the whole ninle speaks of ppl not obeying him and the punishment that comes along with it. If only ppl would read their Bible. The 66 books. Then they'd know. Sadly they don't. John 3:16. Roman's 10: 9, 10. Works don't get you to heaven. Jesus does. John 14:6 Jesus says, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me. Jesus said it!!!

You were better off as a Catholic. Luther added "alone" to justified by faith. It isn't in the original text. And Luther cut the Epistle of James from the Bible, because he didn't agree with it. So, Protestants don't have to address it. In addition, Catholicism has the Sacraments: look up the Scientific Analysis of Eucharistic Miracles and see why Jesus said that without the Eucharist you "have no life within you."

[@janelouisebriggs2999]

I don't believe that repentance and confession are an anathema to justification by faith. They are an on going part of any walk with God through Christ Jesus. Repentance is a gift, a wonderful gift in walking with the Holy Spirit. James talks of works SHOWING your faith and walk with God. It does not talk about being justified by works. Infact Paul talks about the law being given to show mankind its waywardness. The outward keeping of the 10 commandments does not equate to righteousness...Jesus upped the bar, it has to be the reality in your heart and we all need tge power of the Holy Spirut for that to become reality in us...David talked about God desiring truth in the inward parts. Abraham was justified through faith. Repentance is a wonderful GIFT!!!!....HALLELUJAH. I love scriptures that take the burden off...I can do nothing, NOTHING apart from Jesus and 'blessed are tge poor IN SPIRIT for theirs IS the Kingdom of Heaven.

Mark 16:16 2nd Confession: Jesus breathed on His Apostles, the 2nd time in human history God breathed on man, and shared with them the power given to Him by Our Father to either Forgive or Retain the sins of others. The Apostles, as we see in the book of Acts, each had successors, and as we see later in the New Testament, they established Bishops to oversee the local churches/parishes. This was done by the Apostles breathing on them. And just like the Apostles, the Bishops also had successors, down to this generation. And this is how we, who are Baptized, can receive forgiveness of any sins we have committed since becoming God's Adopted children. John 20:21-23. ALL because of Jesus!!!

Wait a second, are you saying you havent read the early church fathers? Surely you should at the very least check out what they said, so that you are fully informed?

It wasnt solely because of the early fathers, it was a spiritual transformation, but the writings of the church fathers are astonishing. You cant just dismiss what they say. The word of God is number 1 for sure, but the early fathers and what they have written supports the bible. There is nothing in the early fathers writings that contradicts the bible(except those who were found to be heretics). What they wrote backs up the word of God and it also confirms that the church is inherently catholic. I'm not saying that protestantism is a heresy but its not the complete picture, its missing a lot of pieces. I know this experientially. When i go to mass I feel God's presence in the catholic church, if I go to a protestant service the presence of God is not there, Im sorry to say. The difference between the two services is one is alive the other is flat and lifeless. The protestant service, on the surface is very demonstrative, and appears to be lively, but its not.

How do we know that the Church Fathers were not apostates? Because in order for the Church to be able to discern what books found in the Bible today, were inspired by God and belonged in the Bible, and what books were not inspired (there were at least 23 other alleged Gospels that were rejected) the Church used the writings of the Church Fathers. So, if you say that the writings of the Church Fathers are misleading, what you're saying is that we can't believe what the Bible says.

Also Catholics believe that every Holy Mass places us right back at Calvary. Every time. Not a different Calvary but the one and only time.. Also John 6 verses 22-66? The Lord talks about His body and blood and it is so important that the Lord repeats it over and over.. If you look at the new testiment you can see the start and movement of the early church.. And the institution of the Eucharist when at the breaking of bread their eyes were opened and He varnished from their sight, this shows Jesus is really and substantially present in the Eucharist which according to the Lord in John 6 22-66 gives us eternal life? I also trust the lord's word about His Church that not even the gates of hell would prevail against Her.. Let God be true and every man be aliar? Also didn't the Lord allow Himself to be Baptisted by John the Baptist and the Holy Spirit came down on the Lord and a voice of the Father came from Heaven, say this is my beloved in whom I am well pleased So I will do as my Lord does. Baptism is a must and to live that baptismal vow.. A tree is known by its fruit? So James states faith without good works is Dead? Also doesn't the Lord quote macabre when saying it is good and righteous to pray for the dead as it losens them from their chains? Isn't that alluding to a temporary place of purification ie purgatory? Also Scripture is profitable for doctrine ie the Church of Christ to teach with and also as the Lord said to His Church what you shall bind on earth is considered bound in Heaven and what you shall free on earth shall be considered freed in Heaven. What sins you abstain they are abstained and what sins you forgive they are forgiven? That there is confession sacrament instituted by the Lord.. I trust in Him.

It was the Word of God that drew me to Catholicism - when I realized how the various Protestant sects could not even agree on how to interpret Scripture, and how they ignored and explained away much of Scripture, or refused to interpret it plainly and literally. When I began to see how many evangelical Protestant practices and beliefs were based on the traditions of men - and fairly recent ones at that - or on marketing research rather than on the Bible, I began to ask questions no Protestants could answer to my satisfaction. In addition, when I realized how much of anti-Catholic rhetoric was based on misinformation and historical inaccuracies, as well as a complete misrepresentation of Catholic theology and doctrine, I began to wonder about the integrity and knowledge of many Protestant preachers and apologists. Protestantism is so fractured, resulting in divisiveness, disagreement, and schism after schism. Is this what Christ prayed for in John 17? Is this movement, based on so much religious pride (“Our little group has the correct interpretation of Scripture and everyone else is wrong”.) possibly of God? Too many Protestants who aren’t filled with pride, thinking the Holy Spirit guides them into truth that others can’t grasp, instead embrace relativism - “This is my truth”. May God have mercy.

@@mitchellosmer1293 Ok, I try to clarify and correct the nonsense you wrote in your comment as short as possible. Firstly ALL CHURCH FATHERS you quote in your comment BELIEVED AND TAUGHT the REAL PRESENCE OF JESUS CHRIST WITH HIS FLESH AND BLOOD, no one of them taught the Last Supper has to be understood only symbolic, except of Tertullian. But he was the exception that confirmed the truth of the transubstantiation in the Eucharist. Clement of Alexandria called it a mystery and if he understood it only symbolic he wouldn't have said it's a mystery. They all believed in the transformation of the bread in the real flesh and blood of Jesus Christ. This was the uniform teaching of the the early church of Jesus Christ. Ignatius of Antioch wrote in the 1st century A.D. in chapter 7 of his epistle to the the Smyrnaeans AGAINST THE HERETICS the following: "They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess NOT THE EUCHARIST TO BE THE FLESH OF OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, which suffered for our sins, and which the Father, of His goodness, raised up again." This is the represetive faith about the Eucharist of the early church of Jesus Christ. I could quote many more Church Fathers than you who clearly believed in the transubstantiation beside those you aleady you cited. Just stop to lie. Secondly the Catholic Church exists since 33 A.D. NOT only 325 A.D. The emperor Constantine 1 declared only the faith of the Catholic Church that the emperors before him persecuted more or less strong for 300 years to the official religion of the Roman empire. Ignatius of Antioch who was martyred around 107 A.D. wrote in his epistle in chapter 8: "Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the CATHOLIC CHURCH." It clearly proves the Catholic Church existed already in the 1st century A.D. This are the historic facts not the nonsense you claim here. And in 2 Thessalonians 2: 15 Paul DIDN'T SPEAK of UNBIBLICAL MAN TRADITIONNS or TRADITIONS OF PHARISEES or of ROMAN CHURCH TRADITIONS but of the ORAL TRANSMITTED APOSTOLIC TRADITION which he clearly defended and demanded from the believers to hold on steady on it. It's just the opposite of what you claim here. Learn to read the Bible correctly before you are telling us such a nonsense. 1. There was no other church than of Christ the Catholic Church in the first 1000 years A.D. In this time the church consisted of the western (latin church) and the Eastern Church (orthodox). But it was 1 united church and not yet divided in a RCC and Orthodox Church. Protestantism and free churches didnn't exist at all. The characteristics of the true church of Christ are ONE faith, APOSTOLIC, the priests stands in the unbroken succession of the Apostles. All this lacks in the protestant churches as they are build on man made teachings and traditions. 2. Christ built up his visible church on earth on Peter. He renamed Simon in "Kephas", Aramaic word for "rock", in Greek "Petros", in English "Peter". He transfered to Peter the keys of the kindgom of heaven and ONLY HIM. Additionally he gave him the authority to bound and lose sins on earth and in heaven, this he also gave the other Apostles. And he promised Peter the gates of the hell won't prevail against the church. Matthew 16: 16 - 18. When Jesus made all this promises to Peter there didn't exist at all any Christian Church, for this reason he used the future tense. The Apostles begun to establish the churches only after the resurrection of Christ. And for about 1000 year A.D. there was no division in a RCC and Orthodox Church, it the ONE UNITED CATOLIC CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST. Of course the Roman church was at that time not yet seperated from the ONE UNITED Church of Christ. It's only logic that due to these historic facts the Bible doesn't speak of a RCC. Use your brain please. 3. There is also only ONE TRUE CHURCH. Yes the church is the body of Christ but this body is not divided in thousands of different denominations, with different doctrines and faith. The true church of Jesus Christ is APOSTOLIC and holds on the ORAL TRANSMITTED APOSTOLIC TRADITION, the teaching of JESUS CHRIST RESPECTIVELY HOLY SCRIPTURE since 2000 years, not man made traditions invented only far more than 1000 years A.D. The Bible says it clearly in Ephesians 4: 4 - 6. 4. Catholics and Orthodoxs are the first believers as there was only ONE church in the first 1000 years AD, this was the Catholic Church, consisting of the western (latin churches) and eastern (Orthodox Churches) united in 1 church not yet divided. This is a historic fact. 5. The pope is the head of the church. Christ built up his visible church on earth on Peter. He renamed Simon to "Kephas", Aramaic word for "rock", in Greek "Petros", in English "Peter" and on this rock, Peter he built up his church. He transfered to Peter the keys of the kindgom of heaven and ONLY HIM. Additionally he gave him the authority to bound and lose sins on earth and in heaven, this he also gave the other Apostles. So Jesus Christ himself laid the fundament of the papacy and determined Peter to be the head of the visible church on earth. Matthew 16: 16 - 18. 6. The meaning of the catholic doctrine outside the church no salvation is if someone comes through the grace of God to the convinction the the full truth is only to be found in the Catholic Church, he/she is obligated to join the Church of Christ. Because the Holy Spirit revealed it to him/her and if he/she refuses to voluntary and conscious to enter in Christ's Church though she/he knows the truth through the revelation of God he/she is obliged to follow the conscience. Otherwise he/she is deobeying the Holy Spirit and sins voluntary and conscious against the Holy Spirit and there is for this reason no salvation in this case. But it doesn't say only Catholics inherit the eternal life in Jesus Christ and even if somebody leaves the Catholic Church it doesn't signify necessarily this person goes to hell. Only God can judge righteous here. You should learn first what catholic doctrines mean. 10. / 11 / 12 / 13 Yes it took several hundred centuries until the papacy and the papal ministry developed as we know it today. The infallibity of the Pope applies only in one specific case when the Pope speaks ex cathedra meaning a question of morals or faith is defined devinitively as true for all time and can't be discussed anymore and is to be held by the whole church, see the keys of the kingdom of heaven Jesus gave Peter. Jesus Christ himself laid the foundation for this ministry in Matthew 16: 16 - 18. In all other cases he is NOT INFALLIBLE. As the Apostles had to build up Christ's church from zero, according to the order of the Lord because there was at their time no Christian faith and churches at their time it's logic that it needed time. And the Apostles switched already the Jewish Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday because Christ rose Sunday from the death. The Jewish Sabbath was a covenant commandment for the Jews of the OT and was valid only in the OT of the old covenant. Paul makes clear in different Scripture passages that the Jewish Sabbath is no more binding for the Christians in the new covenant Christ made with his blood on the cross. I don't know by heart the Bible passages. And this is also proven by the writings of the early church fathers. 14. The clergy of the RCC is not unbiblical because Jesus Christ never abolished the ordained priesthood. There are only different forms of the priesthood. Monks for example follows only the call they received from Jesus Christ to live only for him. They do what the rich young man refused to do when Jesus invited him to follow him in the gospel of Matthew, Luke and Mark. This is absolutely biblical and not at all unbiblical. 15. You can trace back ALL doctrines of the RCC and about 90% of the Orthodox Church until to the Apostles and their direct successors in an unbroken line. So the doctrines of the RCC are to 100% from the Traditions of Jesus, the Apostles and Holy Scripture. What you can't claim of the Protestant doctrines. They are pure man made doctrines without any biblical or apostolic fundament.

Never is it said of any church tradition that it, too, is God-breathed and infallible. (2) It is to Scripture that Jesus and the apostles appeal time after time in support or defense of their actions and teachings (Matthew 12:3, 5; 19:4; 22:31; Mark 12:10). There are over 60 verses in which you find “it is written...” used by Jesus and the apostles to support their teachings. (3) It is to the Scriptures that the church is commended in order to combat the error that was bound to come (Acts 20:32). Likewise, it was the written Word that was seen in the Old Testament as the source of truth upon which to base one’s life (Joshua 1:8; Deuteronomy 17:18-19; Psalm 1; Psalm 19:7-11; 119; etc.). Jesus said that one of the reasons that the Sadducees were in error concerning the resurrection is that they did not know the Scriptures (Mark 12:24). ----(5) Jesus equates the Scriptures with God’s Word (John 10:35). In contrast, when it comes to the religious traditions, He condemns some traditions because they contradict the written Word (Mark 7:1-13). Never does Jesus use religious tradition to support His actions or teachings. Before the writing of the New Testament, the Old Testament was the only inspired Scripture. However, there were literally hundreds of Jewish “traditions” recorded in the Talmud (a collection of commentary compiled by Jewish rabbis). Jesus and the apostles had both the Old Testament, and the Jewish tradition. Nowhere in Scripture does Jesus or any of the apostles appeal to the Jewish traditions. In contrast, Jesus and the apostles quote from or allude to the Old Testament hundreds of times. The Pharisees accused Jesus and the apostles of “breaking the traditions” (Matthew 15:2). Jesus responded with a rebuke: “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?” (Matthew 15:3). The manner in which Jesus and the apostles distinguished between the Scriptures and tradition is an example for the church. Jesus specifically rebukes treating the “commandments of men” as doctrines (Matthew 15:9). (6) It is Scripture that has the promise that it will never fail, that it will all be fulfilled. Again, never is this promise given to the traditions of the church (Psalm 119:89,152; Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 5:18; Luke 21:33). (7) It is the Scriptures that are the instrument of the Holy Spirit and His means for conquering Satan and changing lives (Hebrews 4:12; Ephesians 6:17). -----In other words, tradition CAN NOT contradict God's Words!!!!! FACT: Roman Catholic Church does not predate any Scriptures. It came in ad300s. It was made the official religion of Rome in ad380 by Theodosius. Scriptures was written by Jewish Christian Apostles and Jewish Prophets. Not Roman Catholics. Acts 9:31 says nothing of Roman Catholic Church. Stop misquoting. Acts 9:31 clearly says the Christian Church spread to Judea Samaria and Galilee regions of Israel; not Rome. So all your claims fall to the ground. Bible only approves traditions of Jesus and Apostles. 2 Thes 2:15. But Bible rejects all man made unbiblical traditions of Pharisees and Roman Church alike. Mat 15, 23. Roman Church doctrines came from its own man made traditions. Not from Jesus or Apostles or Scriptures. 95% of them are so. ----quote---. There was no other church than of Christ the Catholic Church in the first 1000 years A.D. unquote FACT: According to Jewish tradition, the Temple of Solomon, also known as "the First Temple," was built by King Solomon (circa 990-931 BCE) long ago on the spot where God created Adam, the first man. But the building was destroyed four hundred years later. THAT blows your lie right out!!!! -----quote----He transfered to Peter the keys of the kindgom of heaven and ONLY HIM. unquote Keys OF THE KINGDOM of Heaven---NOT KEYS TO HEAVEN!!! Jesus gave Peter “the keys of the kingdom of heaven,” not the keys to heaven.1 A key was a badge of authority ( Luke 11:52 ), and then as now was used to open doors. Peter used the keys Christ gave him to open the door to the Jews on the Day of Pentecost ( Acts 2 ), to the Samaritans after the preaching of Philip ( Acts 8:14-17 ), and to the Gentiles after the Lord had sent him a vision and an appeal from Cornelius ( Acts 10 ). -----quote---Additionally he gave him the authority to bound and lose sins on earth and in heaven, this he also gave the other Apostles. unquote Catholic Encyclopedia: The Pope: "The expressions binding and loosing here employed are derived from the current terminology of the Rabbinic schools. A doctor who declared a thing to be prohibited by the law was said to bind, for thereby he imposed an obligation on the conscience. He who declared it to be lawful was said to loose." ----quote---And he promised Peter the gates of the hell won't prevail against the church. Matthew 16: 16 - 18. unquote Yes--correct--means even Jesus' death will NOT stop the spreading HIS word. --Part 2 next:

They greet her countless times each day with the angelic greeting, "Hail, Mary", while prostrating themselves before her, begging her as a favour to honour them with one of her requests. According to St. Augustine, even St. Michael, though prince of all the heavenly court, is the most eager of all the angels to honour her and lead others to honour her.

The phenomenon you're describing, where some Christians claim that other Christians who believe differently are not "true Christians," is often referred to as the "No True Scotsman" fallacy when applied in a religious context. This situation arises from differences in the interpretation of scripture, theological traditions, and personal beliefs.

[@kathrynj.hernandez8425]

The No True Scotsman (NTS) fallacy is a logical error which attempts to defend a generalization by changing the definition of a term to exclude counterexamples. The goal is to make the original premise disprovable by disallowing any counterexamples. The fallacy is used to avoid acknowledging flaws in a belief, or to make a debate unproductive.

We all know that Jesus’ disciples struggled to accept his command to eat his flesh and drink his blood: “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” (John 6:60). Some of them even left him for it: “After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer walked with him” (v. 66). We also know that Jesus recognized their difficulty: “Do you take offense at this?” (v.61). Now, the question is, “Did Jesus attempt to ease the difficulty by clarifying their realistic understanding?”

No. Were Jesus and the disciples drinking His actual blood and His actual body at the Last Supper whilst He was sitting with them? No. Making food offering to Dieties and during blood was actions of pagans practiced. They just carried these pagan practices into the (counterfeit Christian) Catholic Church.

Well, it follows that at the original Lord’s supper, the bread and wine there were also substantially Christ’s body and blood, as that is where He said those words. And it would follow, then, that that was also a sacrifice. This would mean that Christ was sacrificed before Calvary, as that supper happened before He was crucified.

Bible says celibacy is not a qualification for clergies. Mat 8:14-15, Mar 1:30-31, Luk 4:38-39. 3. Catholics say Mary was sinless. But Bible says Mary offered a sinner's offering. She was a sinner.

Catholics say pray to passed on Mary and "saints". Yet Bible says do not contact the dead. NT Church did not record a single case of NT believers asking passed on saints to pray for them. Deut 18:11, Isaiah 8:19. 7. Catholics make and bow down to statues. Bible says do not bow down to graven images (statues). Deut 4, Exo 20:4-5. 8. Catholics sprinkles “holy water”. But NT Church of the Bible mentioned nothing about “holy water”. There was no record of any Apostles sprinkling “holy water” on believers. Catholics claimed “holy water” came from OT. Yet Num 5:17 says “holy water” was water used to test adulterous women in OT temple. Hardly the same. Those were for Old Covenant Jews. Not New Testament Christians. 9. Catholics say Peter was pope - bishop of all bishops. Yet Bible says Peter was just a leader of the Jerusalem Church. Bible says nothing of the office of bishop of bishops. Gal 2:9, Mat 16:18. 10. Catholics say there is a seat of Peter. Yet BIBLE says nothing about it. Jesus said “not to lord over others”. 11. Catholics has clergy priesthood. Bible says clergy priesthood was done away with in New Testament. There is no clergy priesthood in NT. Heb 7:27, 9:12, 10:10. 12. Catholics preaches Works Salvation (faith + good works + partake R sacraments + submit to R pontiff + be in R Church + devote to Mary = to be saved). Yet Bible says “believe in Jesus to be saved”. Bible says Works Salvation is cursed. Gal 1:8-9. Acts 16:30-31, John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10. 13. Catholics says they must do Penance to atone for their sins. Yet Bible says repent, confess and sins will be forgiven. Catholic Bible changes the word “repentance” in NT into “penance”. Original Greek NT does not use or mean the word penance. Penance = work to atone for sins. Repentance = change of heart. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6. 14. Catholics say Mary went straight to heaven without dying. Yet Bible says nothing about it. 15.

The second part is merely a request for the mother of God to pray for us. But most important of all: the whole point (the context) of the Hail Mary is not Mary but the incarnation of Jesus. Without the incarnation, we would have no Our Father. If Jesus had not taken flesh in her womb, we would necver have heard of her. So whenever we pray the Hail Mary, we are professing our faith in Jesus, the Word made flesh. As she said to Elizabeth, her soul magnifies the Lord; everything about her speaks of God. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Luke 1:29 "Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you." (Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee) Luke 1:38 "Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb." (blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus) 1 Corinthians 7:34 "An unmarried woman or a virgin is anxious about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in both body and spirit." (Holy Mary) Luke 2:6-7 "6 While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn son." (Mother of God) 2 Corinthians 1:11 "as you help us with prayer, so that thanks may be given by many on our behalf for the gift granted us through the prayers of many." (pray for us sinners now) Matthew 10:22 "but whoever endures to the end will be saved". (and at the hour of our death. Amen.) I don't think you would disagree with me on the Lord's Prayer, Glory Be, and the Apostle's Creed, but if you do, then tell me :0) In summary: the Rosary is 65% directly to Jesus and about him. It is 35% honouring and requesting prayers from Mary, his Mother. 88% of the Rosary is directly from the Bible, 12% is from the wisdom of early Christians. The Hail Mary Is all about Christ incarnation guess these morons are against Jesus ..Without the incarnation, we would have no Our Father. If Jesus had not taken flesh in her womb, we would necver have heard of her. So whenever we pray the Hail Mary, we are professing our faith in Jesus, the Word made flesh.

The 2nd commandment is clubbed in the first one. You shall have no other gods included images of gods. The last commandment was split into two for this reason. The sin of coveting the property of one's neighbour and coveting neighbour's wife. Women are not the property of men. Woman are individuals created in the image of God. Coveting neighbour's wife is sin of lust which is different from coveting neighbour's goods. All points of the ten commandments are covered. Catholic Church prohibited having images considered as "gods". Images that are not considered as gods are ok. That is why statues, paintings, murals of Jesus, Mary and the saints are ok to depict stories. These things are not gods including the statues of Jesus. If we should not have any images whether it is considered as gods or not, then having photos and paintings of our loved ones too should be prohibited. In that case, Israelites too have committed sin fir having the Ark of the Covenant which had the images of cherubim in gold. Even Moses committed sin by making bronze serpent and hung it on a pole. Those bitten by the serpents looked at the bronze serpent and were healed. Solomon's Temple too had images to beautify it. I think you should ask this question : what type of images are prohibited and why.

What I find disturbing about Protestantism is the fact there are literally THOUSANDS of different Protestant denominations - estimated to be circa 45,000 and growing. This is the result of countless differences in interpretation of Sacred Scripture in particular, together with theological and doctrinal disagreements, all leading to splits both within denominations and individual congregations leading to even more new Protestant denominations being formed. This in turn has led to widely diverging beliefs and practices. Since there is no universal binding authority within Protestantism, as there is within the Catholic Church, it is hardly surprising there is so much uncertainty as to what Protestant beliefs really are as they differ enormously between the various denominations. This might also explain why an increasing number of Protestants are leaving to find a new Spiritual home within the Catholic and Orthodox Churches where they find consistency and stability. Since Protestants often vehemently disagree with each other's interpretation of Sacred Scripture, their claim that the Holy Spirit is guiding them must be entirely false since they cannot all be right. Or could it be they believe there are in fact multiple Holy Spirits as a way of explaining away this conundrum? And who gave them the authority to interpret the Bible? If they have each given themselves personal authority, it follows that literally thousands of "Popes" have been created. Is this the true legacy of Luther, Calvin and the Protestant Reformation - a theological free-for-all leading to total chaos and confusion? It is quite apparent something is terribly wrong here. Saint Francis de Sales famous Treatise, "THE CATHOLIC CONTROVERSY", presents a powerful defense of the Catholic Faith that has never been equaled. It is so clear and thorough, and his arguments so persuasive, that when distributed to the inhabitants of Chablais, 72,000 Calvinists converted to the Catholic Faith in one of the largest mass conversions ever recorded. The Treatise contains some of the most cogent arguments against Protestantism ever written. It skilfully dissects the theology of Protestantism and its Founders, exposing its many errors and false teachings with the support of countless Biblical texts, together with the writings of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church. His Treatise, along with his many other writings, are as relevant today as when they were first published, and all are available from Amazon. For those whose main goal in life is to refute the beliefs of the Catholic Church, it is absolutely ESSENTIAL to first gain a firm understanding of what the Catholic Church actually teaches, rather than rely on pure speculation, misconceptions or hearsay. Here are further books which will help build your knowledge: 1) Catechism of the Catholic Church. This is THE most important book to become familiar with and should be read from cover to cover. 2) The Fathers Know Best: Your Essential Guide to the Teachings of the Early Church - Jimmy Akin 3) Early Church Was the Catholic: The Catholic Witness of the Fathers in Christianity's First Four Centuries - Joe Heschmeyer 4) The Bible is a Catholic Book - Jimmy Akin 5) The Case for Catholicism - Trent Horne 6) Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist: Unlocking the Secrets of the Last Supper - Brant Pitre 7) Behold Your Mother: A Biblical and Historical Defense of the Marian Doctrines - Tim Staples 8) The Faith of Our Fathers - Cardinal James Gibbons It is worth noting that some of the books listed have been written by former Protestants. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but provides an excellent starting point. To test your Protestant Apologist credentials, why not check out the "CATHOLIC CONVERSION STORY" videos on KZbin and see how YOU would argue against those highly experienced and faithful Protestant Pastors who have converted to the Catholic faith.

Jesus said in Luke 24:47 " Remission of sins to be preached in my name will begin in Jerusalem". This happens in Acts 2 where Peter preaches the first gospel sermon, the DBR of Christ. In v37 they asked Peter, " what must we do?" and Peter says in v38 " Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins.." and in v41&47, it says that those who received the word and were baptized, the Lord added them to the saved. This is how one becomes a Christian. If you notice in Acts 2:21 Peter says, " Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved", So, when did they call on his name in Acts 2? And why didn't Peter tell them when they asked "What must we do", "I already told you, you got to call on his name"...So, tell us, when did they call on his name in Acts 2? Next, they had believed in v37, it says "they were cut to the heart", yet they were not saved. They had heard the good news, they were cut to the heart, they BELIEVED, YET THEY WERE NOT SAVED! For in v40 Peter says " Save yourselves" Acts 22:16 "Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name". You call on his name when you are baptized in the name of Jesus. Next, Col 2:12 " You were buried with Jesus in baptism, in which you were also raised with Jesus THROUGH FAITH IN THE WORKING OF GOD......God made ALIVE together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses.." So, I am saved by faith, an obedient faith, not a dead one and saved by faith when I have been baptized into Christ, when I put Christ on Gal 3:26-27

[@afrazier_af]

At the beginning of Acts 1:5 Jesus is saying how John’s baptism was with water but His is by Spirit. In Acts 2:38 when Peter says “repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ” it was just after Peter had shared with them the good news. They had heard the good news for the first time and it had cut them to the heart, just as scripture does (Hebrews 4:12). When you put your Faith in Jesus repentance comes naturally it’s nothing extra. Repentance means to change the way you think. You were once an unbeliever now you are a believer that is repentance. When you trust the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross and accept Him as your Lord and Savior you are saved. You then receive the Holy Spirit (so you are baptized in the Spirit) the Spirit is what works inside of you and cleanses you, no works of your own. So calling on the Lord is the same, they just weren’t changing the way they were thinking and didn’t understand, which is why Peter told them to Repent. In v 40 he is telling them to be saved from the way this world thinks. That is the same thing as repentance. In Romans 12:2. “It says do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind” the world believes you have to work to be saved. We are born this way. Work hard=success. Jesus made it so easy for us. All we have to do is believe in the finished work of the cross and we receive the Holy Spirit that produces work in us. 🩷 ”Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,“ ‭‭Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬-‭5‬

I also believe in Acts2:38 in Order to be saved 🙏🏻

[@MLiving4Jesus]

Acts 2:38 reads as follows: “Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’” This verse is important as it answers the question of the preceding verse, “When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, ‘Brothers, what shall we do?’” (Acts 2:37). The above interaction on repentance and baptism took place after Apostle Peter’s speech on the day of Pentecost. This day marked the beginning of the Christian church, led by the Holy Spirit. Following Jesus’ instructions, the disciples waited in Jerusalem and received the gift of the Holy Spirit, which was manifested through speaking in other tongues. This drew the attention of passers-by who heard the disciples speaking different languages. Through the Holy Spirit, Peter then delivered a speech that resulted in the conversion of over 3,000 people (Acts 2:41). Repentance and baptism are central concepts in Christianity, but they have also become controversial, with differing opinions on their meaning. Before delving into the “why,” it is important to understand what it means to repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins. The Greek word for “repent” is metanoia, which conveys a change of mind about something. In the context of Peter’s sermon, repentance involved a change of mind about the person of Jesus. Peter had just confronted his hearers with the truth that “God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah” (Acts 2:36). The Jews of Jerusalem needed a big change of mind: they had thought Jesus was worthy of death; they needed to see Him as their Lord and Messiah. In most contexts today, repentance involves a change of mind about Jesus, sin, and salvation. Before coming to Christ, our perspective on everything was different. Sin was considered normal, Christ was merely a historical figure, and salvation was something to be earned by good deeds outweighing bad deeds. At the point of conviction, our mindset needs to change-we must repent. Sin is revealed for what it truly is: rebellion against the Creator. We also realize that we cannot meet God’s perfect standards and that Christ is our only hope. This total change of mind should inevitably result in a change of behavior (Matthew 3:8). The word for “baptism” is the Greek word baptismos, which refers to the act of being immersed, submerged, or fully wet. Scripture records two forms of baptism: water baptism and Spirit baptism (Luke 3:16). The context of Acts 2:38 points to water baptism, though, with the mention of “the gift of the Holy Spirit,” Spirit baptism is also at play. Arguments about the relation of water baptism to salvation can become intense. First, we need to establish that baptism is a command (Matthew 28:19-20). However, we should avoid making water baptism a prerequisite for salvation. In the very next chapter, Peter preaches another sermon (Acts 3:11-26). In it, he commands repentance (verse 19) but never mentions baptism. We are saved by grace through faith, not by faith plus baptism (Ephesians 2:8-9). Baptism is symbolic, representing outwardly the inner transformation of the Spirit. Peter commanded it in Acts 2:38 as a way to publicly identify with Jesus. But what did Peter mean by commanding people to be baptized “for” the forgiveness of sins? The Greek word translated “for” (eis) in Acts 2:38 can mean “because of” or “as the result of.” The word for in English can carry a similar meaning: a doctor’s advice to “take two aspirin for your headache” is an obvious command to take the pills because of the headache. Noted Greek scholars as A. T. Robertson and J. R. Mantey have maintained that the Greek preposition eis in Acts 2:38 should be translated “because of” or “in view of,” not “in order to” or “for the purpose of.” The same Greek word (eis) is translated “at” in Matthew 12:41: The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at (eis) the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here. They repented “because of” the preaching of Jonah. In the same way, one should be baptized “because of” the forgiveness of sin. So, why do we need to repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sin? Repentance is a necessary change of mind for salvation, and baptism is a symbolic act through which we identify with Jesus. Both actions demonstrate our faith in Christ and our willingness to obey Him.

Maybe think about the other way around? The Church was founded by God the Son. His way is counter-cultural. His way is not the way of the world. His way is not the way of Pat Robertson. Of course the Church stands against all other religions! We recognise that there is Truth in other religions, just as God can give his grace to people of any faith. This doesn't change the fact Christ founded only one Church, and that church is not the 700 Club or the SDA or any form of Evangelical church or any Lutheran church or any kind of Baptist church. The only religious institution that can successfully make the claim of being the Church that Christ founded is the Catholic Church --- The Church. The Church has stood solidly on the bedrock of Christ's teaching in the face of individuals and groups and alternative churches, all of whom claim that they believe in God, for two thousand years. The question is not "do you believe in God", but rather are you doing what God asked you to do? The entirety of scripture is all about God forming people who will obey him rather than rebel against him. This spirit of rebellion extends into the religious realm as well. If you want to know and live the gospel, if you want to follow God's lead then you need to be in his Church. Catholics stand for obedience to God and the kind of Church he founded and ordained. Protestants either reject this or have grown up in a situation where they never understood this. I'm glad that God has wrought miracles in your life!

If you wish to follow Deut 4, then consider becoming Jewish and follow all the ancient commandments. We are not under the old law. There are obviously new covenant priests. Jesus is the High Priest and he ordained his Apostles to that office. The New Testament clearly speaks of bishops, priests and deacons officiating in the Church. The Church has continued this practice established by Jesus. Can you clarify what you mean by favouritism and "the church being built in a human"? The Apostles are indeed equal. They are "brothers". Peter was given a particular role among his brethren. Christ is king;l to Peter was given the role of Prime Minister, the keys; it fell to Peter to feed the sheep; it fell to Peter to strengthen his brethren. We agree: Jesus is the chief cornerstone. We agree: twelve foundation. And also one given the governorship, as seen above. Peter is one of the twelve and he is also set apart from the twelve. He is given a different role as compared with the twelve. You quoted Revelation. And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. Jesus commands us to pray for each other, and so we do: we ask the saints on Earth to pray for us and we ask the saints in heaven to pray for us. The Church has done this since the very beginning. Yes, there is one God and one mediator. And he lets us participate in the divine life by interceding for one another and asking each other for intercession. If you think there is so much wrong with the Church, then you must concur that there is so much more wrong with the teachings of Jesus, that there is something wrong with the way he ordained the Christian life. On blessing same sex couples. OF COURSE the Church blesses same sex couples! They're SINNERS! Just like me! And just like you! Do you not wish to be blessed? Even in your sinful state? Maybe you don't, but I sure do! I want all the grace God can heap on me! Because I do sin, and I sure need all the help I can get!

The false teaching of salvation by Faith Alone is refuted by Scripture Alone: "You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone." (James 2:24, ESV).

The Catholic Church has not only allowed but encouraged Catholics to read the Bible daily since Pope Leo XIII in 1895. It wasn't until 1830 that Bibles were inexpensively mass-produced, which gave the average person some hope of owning one. But still, there was mass illiteracy until well into the mid 1800s. Saying you "weren't allowed to read it" in the 20th century is just plain false.

I listened to the whole thing and looked up Matthew 16 and your Bible does not read as mine. Your description of Mary's role in the church is not what I was taught or understood. When you criticize the use of the crucifix my understanding of it is different than yours. Your explanation of infallibility is just wrong, and you seem to be making stuff up. You seem to be very sincere but very confused. I would suggest stop condemning Catholics and others based on how you interpret the Bible as it seems very much like the sin of pride. Preach the Kingdom not the condemnation of others as I believe that’s a little above your pay grade and mine.

"Sunday is a MARK of Our authority, the (catholic) Church is above the Bible and the transference of Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday observance is proof of that fact" (Catholic Record Sept. 1, 1923) The Bible days "remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day" The Catholic Church ssys "NO! By my divine Power I abolish the Sabbath day (Saturday), and command you to keep holy the first day of the week (Sunday "the venerable pagan worship day of the sun").

What amazes me is that people who claim to be Bible believing, Sola scriptura Christians...do not take literally the words of Jesus when in John 6, He said TRULY TRULY (Definition believe me, believe me) Unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink His Blood, you have no life in you! Jewish law forbid the.Jews from eating the flesh of the sacrificed lambs with their blood. They said how could they give us His flesh and blood. Jesus said Does this shock you? And they left ...He didn't call them back, or say it was a joke. He had to let them leave. They saw two miracles...the loaves and fishes and Him walking on water. They believed what they could physically see but this required them to trust He was telling the truth and truly the Son of God. In human terms, we could never understand this, but it is by the Spirit we believe. St Paul said unless you discern Jesus Body and Blood you bring judgement on yourself. The Early Church Fathers, the disciples of Jesus, believed in real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. So when Jesus says Truly, Truly, unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of God and drink His Blood you have no life. So unlike the 5000 disciples who left, I chose to believe Jesus and never leave because I know that I could never have a stronger relationship with our Lord than to receive Him in Holy Communion and to be in His Holy Presence in His Church.

What did those early church fathers believe? You’re saying you won’t read them and yet you have enough faith that they Can Determine what is scripture? You can’t pick and choose. The Catholic Church canonized the scripture you deem inspired. The Catholic Church determined that it was the inspired word of God.

[@antoniasienna2299]

And how do you answer to the versicule "Without holiness no one will see God" or to the versicule "Not all who are called will be chosen" or to the Paul verses about losing such a great salvation for no being dilligent enough or so many others verses. The truth is that many believers loose their faith during their lives and by doing so their loose their salvation. Yes, of course. We have to take care of our spiritual lives.

[@rmiller815]

Salvation is a GIFT OF GOD, and the the Bible tells us that "no one can be plucked from the hand of God", once you are saved, you are forever saved. You have been justified, acquitted of all charges, you are a new creature in God. God promises Eternal Life. We are made holy in God's sight, washed Clean by the blood of Jesus. We are Born Again as Jesus says we must be to enter Heaven. We sin daily because we are in our human, sinful bodies, but as we grow in the Word and learn what God wants of our life, we become less and less worldly and more in the image of Him. We ask for forgiveness daily because we have a Personal Relationship with Him. But we are justified and cleansed.

[@padraicbrown6718]

This depends on your needs. The fundamental truth is that no matter what translation you're using, you're going to get pretty much the same message. Different wordings, different styles, but basically the same. Since you're a Catholic, I'd just go with a Catholic Study Bible. It's got loads of notes and loads of explanatory stuff as well. Personally I would stay away from super new translations that are more interested in "inclusivity" and other woke ideologies than they are about giving us God's word. I would definitely stay away from the New World Translation, as that's the JW translation and the Jehovah's Witness religion is a form of Arianism. I'd also recommend you get yourself a good Catholic catechism. The Catechism of the Catholic Church lays out what we believe, from the nature of God, through the sacraments and the life of the Church, with the historical attestations, works of the Church Fathers and biblical foundations. If you're having questions and doubts, I would seriously recommend the New St. Joseph Baltimore Catechism. Questions are good! Be sure to compare whatever Mr Gendron says Catholicism teaches with actual Catholic sources. Also keep in mind that Mr Gendron converted from the Church, the one that Jesus actually founded, to some other more modern church. The Church has been at this for 2000 years: Mr Gendron isn't saying anything the Church hasn't faced before and either refuted or agreed with.
