My Testimony | From Catholic to Christian

[@jmdsservantofgod8405]

Jesus is returning soon……He said “when I return will I find faith?”………He did NOT say “will I find Catholics?”

​ @A DUDE *Why 95% of ROman ct doctrines did not come from Jesus APostles and Scriptures? Why? is that what you called a "true church" Roman ct member?* *95% of R Church doctrines were unheard of in 1st century and not from traditions of Jesus and Apostles or Scriptures or contradicts Scriptures! Jesus, Apostles and Nt Church of the Bible had not heard or practised any of these Rc doctrines.* 1. Purgatory 2. Confessing to priests 3. Office of pope or priests4. Pope being the vicar (representation of Christ, usurping the authority of God)5. Praying to Mary, saints6. Penance 7. Worshipping idols/images, placing idols images in church8. Church in the Bible is not building, but the body of believers9. Sacrament was never the real body and blood of Christ as RC church claimed (Real meaning real blood and body, bcos it didnt really turned "bloody" did it?)10. Salvation by (works (7sacraments) +faith) was never in the Bible. Real salvation is by grace through faith as seen in Bible. 11. Rosary, set repetitive prayers, hail Mary 10000 times12. Mass - putting Christ on the altar again and again13. Mary as queen of heaven 14. Mary as Ark of the new covenant. 15. Mary as the mother of heavenly Jesus thus Mary exist before Christ16. Immersion of infant for baptism17. Holy water18. Celibacy of priests (no office of priests in NT anyway, only priesthood of all believers)19. Kissing of statues20. Changing of 10 commandments. COmmandment of graven image removed by Catholic CHurch in Catholic Catechism. Splitting of another commandment into 2 commandments. 21. Catholic church changed Bible verse Gen 3:15 (And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel."). 'He' and 'His' referring to Christ. Catholics changed it to (Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; She shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise Her heel.") 'She' and 'Her' refers to Mary. 22. Catholic Church use Rev 12 to refer to Mary as 'queen of heaven', when Rev 12:6 clearly refers to Israel escaping the Great Tribulation. Mary cannot be alive to escape the Great Tribulation. 23. Catholic Church refers to Mary as 'Queen of heaven', but 'Queen of Mary' in the Bible is a demonic entity Astoreth or Ishtar, the female deity partner of Baal. 5 verses in Jeremiah as proof.24. Catholic church refers to Mary as the Mediatress, Co redemptress, helper of Christ, firstborn of all creation .. Mary cannot be the mediatress. Jesus is the one and only Mediator between God and man. Only Jesus redeems. Only the Holy Spirit is the Helper sent by Jesus. Only Jesus is the firstborn of all creation. 25. Roman Catholicism has “saints” one can pray to in order to gain a particular blessing. For example, Saint Gianna Beretta Molla is the patron saint of fertility. Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of animals. There are multiple patron saints of healing and comfort. Nowhere is even a hint of this taught in Scripture. Just as the Roman pantheon of gods had a god of love, a god of peace, a god of war, a god of strength, a god of wisdom, etc., so the Catholic Church has a saint who is “in charge” over each of these and many other categories. Many Roman cities had a god specific to the city, and the Catholic Church provided “patron saints” for cities as well.26. Mary is called the gate of heaven? Mary has keys to paradise? Here are roman pagan teachers saying their man made goddess is their savior. None of these quotes have been denounced, on the contrary they are cited. "Open to us, O Mary, the gate of Paradise, since you have its keys! " St. Ambrose "God has entrusted the keys and treasures of Heaven to Mary." St. Thomas Aquinas "No one can enter into Heaven except through Mary, as entering through a gate. " St. Bonaventure "Mary is called "The Gate of Heaven" because no one can enter Heaven but through her means." St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori Papal infallibility Immaculate Mary Assumption of Mary Perpetual Virgin Mary as Mother of God, co mediatrix, co redemptrix, new ark of covenant, Pope as vicar, Holy Water, papacy, peter as first pope, papal succession, apostolic succession, indulgences, 7 sacraments, rosary veneration of saints and statues celibacy of priesthood canonization of saints limbo

​ @adude849 *NT Church of the Bible did not worship like Roman ct. No "eating wafers from the hands of priests". No "altars". No clergies in weird costumes and weird head gears. No sense of supremacy over laities, No "roman ct priests pretending wafer = Jesus and afraid of dropping the wafer, No saying "Hail Mary 10000 times for penance".* *NT Church broke bread over the table in a house church. They sang hymns to God. They had preachings from the APostles day in day out and overnight. This is already Church worship. All in the Book of Acts.* you said the diffirence is that they know to handle worship and a litrugy

[@solafide9533]

​ @adude849 *Christians do teach James 2 contrary to your false beliefs. James 2 is about Practical Christian Living. Just like what Eph **2:10** teaches -Good Works comes from one who is saved.* *Bible is clear:* - Salvation is Not By Works ( *By Faith Alone* ) - Eph 2:8-9. - Practical Christian Living is By Works ( *Not By Faith Alone* ) - Eph 2:10, James 2, Mat 7, Gal 5:22, 1 Cor 13. you said you read scriptures right Have you read James? He admitted our works is a necessarily for our Faith? We did not rely works as salvation Because our works is evidence that our faith and salvation is active

[@fa1509]

The difference he meant by that is a living faith vs a dead faith. A living faith is something who trusts in God alone and believes Christ has saved you from your sins that makes you want to do good works because Christ has saved us. Not because we have too. Many people take that verse outta context. You doing good works in order to please God won’t work because God can’t be bribed, try that in court.

​ @adude849 *Bible says even NT Church of the Bible (Apostles and elders) appealed to the "Word of God" for determination of doctrines in Acts 15. The council did not decide based on their own words; neither on traditions of Pharisees or Moses. They based their decisions on "WHAT GOD SAID". Yes they met at Jerusalem council Acts 15 to discuss. But they appeal to what God says. Using God's word to decide what to do!* *Bible says decision was made by Apostles and elders. Not single leader Peter!! (let alone pope). Acts 15:6, 16:4.* Act 15:6 Now the *apostles and elders* came together to consider this matter. Act 16:4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep, which were *determined by the apostles and elders* at Jerusalem. *1. Peter appealed using what God told him:* to him rgd his vision of the clean and unclean animals in Acts 10.. That gentiles are accepted. Act 10:13 And a voice came to him, "Rise, Peter; kill and eat." Act 10:14 But Peter said, "Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean." Act 10:15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, "What God has cleansed you must not call common." Act 15:7 And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up and said to them: "Men and brethren, you know that a good while ago God chose among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. *2. James appealed using the Word of God:* Act 15:13 And after they had become silent, James answered, saying, "Men and brethren, listen to me: Act 15:14 Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name. Act 15:15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written: Act 15:16 'AFTER THIS I WILL RETURN AND WILL REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID, WHICH HAS FALLEN DOWN; I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS, AND I WILL SET IT UP; Act 15:17 SO THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD, EVEN ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, SAYS THE LORD WHO DOES ALL THESE THINGS.' Act 15:18 "Known to God from eternity are all His works. Act 15:19 Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God, *3. Apostles Barnabas and Paul appealed to the “works of GOD done on the Gentiles”.* you said if the definition of Sola Scriptura is about the foundation of the Truth is scriptures Why did Paul admitted the Church is the foundation of the truth in Timothy 3:15?

​ @A DUDE *You are proving Leadership Succession Roman ct member. There were no 12 new Apostles who succeeded 12 Apostles.* yo usid plus don't take the term Apostolic succession it doesn't mean millions of priest are considered apostles The Apostles only made successors to be leaders of the church but they never recorded they(the successors) are the apostles themselves

[@solafide9533]

​ @adude849 *Not Roman ct for sure. There were so many local canons from ad100s to 300 even till ad592 there were still other canons. Even modern days we have 66, 73, 81 books canon. Roman ct's canon was merely a local church from a local council called Council of rome. It was Not a Universal Canon.* *Where in the Bible says we need a canon for Scriptures to be Scriptures? None. Jesus did not say so. Apostles did not say so. So it's not a doctrine at all.* *Jesus, APostles and NT Church already called "partial scriptures" Scriptures in their days. They did not say we need a canon for Scriptures to be Scriptures.* *Bible says Scriptures is of Jewish Origins. Romans 3:1-2. Not ROma nct origin. Jews till this day holds OT 39 books. Not Roman ct's OT 46 books. Clearly pointing to Roman ct adding 7 books. Scriptures is always correct. Roman ct is always wrong.* you said but who created the biblical canon? why are there 66 instead of 73? where is a verse that states there must be books counted as canon?

[@redbird9000]

- “There is, therefore, nothing directly approaching a papal theory in the pages of the New Testament,” and “from all indications, there was no single bishop of Rome for almost a century after the deaths of the apostles”. The Catholic National, a Catholic organ published this quote in July 1895. - Eamon Duffy a was a Catholic Historian and he basically refutes that Matthew 16:18 alludes to or supports papal authority.

​ @adude849 *Doctrines come from the words of Jesus and Apostles and what they practised. If Jesus and APostles practised taking doctrines from Scriptures Only (not once from traditions of Moses/Pharisee). So we should emulate too.* *Jesus did condemned all man made unbiblical traditions as doctrines. Mat 15, Mat 23.* you said not bad of an evidence but there's a problem it only states the importance of scriptures I do not see a verse that says Outside the scriptures is Heresy

[@leaguixxx9736]

i don't have time to watch this video but as a European the title confused me. As Catholics ARE Christians, but often people talk about this and i wonder what's the matter about. Christianity is the religion, the followers are called Christians and are split in many denominations, such as catholic, orthodox and protestant. I don't know if something about this was mentioned in the video but here just in case 😭

[@faithalone2171]

[@biblealone9201]

If I weren't Catholic, I'd look for the Church that the world despises, for the world despised Jesus, and he would be there. - Fulton Sheen Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me.". Things seemed to be going pretty well. That is until Jesus said “For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood,dwelleth in me, and I in him.” This was too much for many of his disciples and “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Jesus turns to the 12 and asks, “Will ye also go away? Vs 61, Jesus did not back down, for He said, "Does this offend you?" it offends protestants. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Jn 20:21, "As the Father has sent Me, I also send you." Jn 17:18, "Even as thou hast sent Me into the world, so I have sent them into the world." Jn 17:22-23, "And the glory that thou hast given Me, I have given to Matt. 28, 18-20: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye, therefore. and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Jesus says to the crowd, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved." But in reference to the same people, Jesus immediately follows with "He who does not believe will be condemned." This demonstrates that one can be baptized and still not be a believer. This disproves the Protestant argument that one must be a believer to be baptized. There is nothing in the Bible about a "believer's baptism." "Accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior," or "Ask Jesus into your heart" isn't the biblical answer. It’s important to be saved from hell, damnation, and the stain of original sin, but what are we saved for? We are saved for union with Christ. Our salvation began when we were born again through baptism and God’s own Divine Life was restored in our souls, making us like Adam and Eve were in the Garden before the Original (first) Sin. As we go through life, we are united with Christ through the Sacraments he left as gifts for us, especially through Penance (forgiveness of our sins committed since Baptism) and the Eucharist (partaking of God’s own Life, His own Divine Nature, 2 Peter 1:4) - until that day when we are truly united with Him in heaven. Scripture teaches that one’s final salvation depends on the state of the soul at death. As Jesus himself tells us, "He who endures to the end will be saved" (Matt. 24:13; cf. 25:31-46). One who dies in the state of friendship with God (the state of grace) will go to heaven. The one who dies in a state of rebellion against God (the state of mortal sin) will go to hell. (For the teaching on venial (non-deadly) and mortal (deadly) sins, see 1 John 5:16-17) What I must do to be saved: *I must be baptized with water and the Spirit. Mark 16:16, John 3:3-5, Titus 3:5, I Peter 3:20-21. (Exceptions: [1] If I desire Baptism but die before I can be baptized with water and the Spirit, God accepts my desire to be baptized, and [2] If I am killed (martyred) because of my faith, but I have not had the opportunity to be baptized, God accepts my death as my baptism, called the Baptism of Blood). * I must do the will of God the Father. Matthew 7:21 * I must keep the Commandments of God. Matthew 5:19-20, Matthew 7:21, Matthew 19:17, 1 Timothy 6:14, and others. * I must accept the Cross (suffering). Matthew 10:38, Matthew 16:24-25, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23, Luke 14:27. Phil 1:29, and others. * I must be a member of God's true church. Acts 2:46-47. * I must confess my sins. James 5:16, I John 1:9, John 20:19-23 * I must heed the words of St. Peter, the first Pope. Acts 11:13-14, Acts 15:7. * I must eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus Christ. John 6:51-58, I Corinthians 10:16-17, 11:23-30. * I must do unto others as I would have them do unto me and love my neighbor as myself. I must feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, visit the sick and those in prison or give other aid to those in need. Luke 10:33 ff, Mt 25:31-46. "Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are very pleasing to God" Hebrews 13:16. Good works don’t save us, but we will be judged by them. *I must strive to be holy. "Strive for peace with everyone and for that holiness without which no one will see the Lord." Hebrews 12:14 *I must endure (persevere) to the end. Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13, Mark 13:13. And ... ? What else must I do? Catechism #432 The name "Jesus" signifies that the very name of God is present in the person of his Son, made man for the universal and definitive redemption from sins. It is the divine name that alone brings salvation, and henceforth all can invoke his name, for Jesus united himself to all men through his Incarnation, so that "there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."🐱‍👤

*R Catholicism has nothing to do with God and His Words. R Catholic Church contradicts Scriptures in every possible ways!* 1. Catholics say Mary was sinless. But BIBLE says Mary offered a sinner's offering. She was a sinner. Bible says Mary needed a Saviour. Lk 2:23-24, Lev 12:6-8, Rom 3:10. 2. Catholics say clergies must be celibate. Yet BIBLE says Peter (supposed R Church first leader) had mother in law. 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 forever virgin. Yet BIBLE says Jesus had brothers and sisters. Mary was not perpetually virgin. Mk 6:3, Mat 13:55, Mat 27:56, Mar 6:3, Mar 15:40, Mar 15:47. 4. Catholics say confess to R priests in a box. BIBLE says nothing about confessing to priests in a box. Bible says confess to GOD only. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6, Romans 10:9-10. 5. Catholics say drink of the literal blood of Jesus. Yet OT and NT both say do not drink blood. Acts 15, Lev 7:26. 6. 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. Catholics say Islam and Christianity have the same GOD. Yet Islam doesn't believe in death and resurrection of Jesus and Trinity.

Mar 7:6 He answered and said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: 'THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR FROM ME. Mar 9:12 Then He answered and told them, "Indeed, Elijah is coming first and restores all things. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt? Mar 9:13 But I say to you that Elijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him." Mar 11:17 Then He taught, saying to them, "Is it not written, 'MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL NATIONS' ? But you have made it a 'DEN OF THIEVES.'" Mar 14:21 The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born." Mar 14:27 Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written: 'I WILL STRIKE THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP WILL BE SCATTERED.'

Just to let you guys know the entire New testament of the Bible was written by Catholics that's right by the Catholic Church. Jesus gave St Peter the keys to heaven and Earth to bind or loose. He was one of the 12 apostles their descendants today are the bishops in the Catholic and Orthodox churches. These apostles including Saint Paul wrote the entire New testament although St Luke was not one of the original 12 he was a Catholic nonetheless so the Bible that you have the entire New testament was written by members of the Catholic Church because it existed from the day of Jesus. Protestants did not arrive until the 16th century. They follow only the Bible which is by the way non-biblical. Leave the Catholic Church and you are a heretic plain and simple. Harsh words of course but it is the truth because you call the Holy Spirit a liar think about that. It was the Holy Spirit who inspired the councils of the Catholic Church to place what books were in the Bible. That was about 1200 years before Martin Luther and Henry the 8th that's a long time. Learn church history. Lastly Protestants do not know how to worship they listen to a preacher for two and a half to three hours on Sunday that's not worship that's brainwashing.

The Error of the Protestant Lie: "But as for the cowardly and unbelieving, and abominable and murderers, and fornicators and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their portion shall be in the pool that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." Revelation 21:8, ignored by all liars. See Rev 21:27 also. It is a foregone conclusion that Jesus Christ founded only one Church. 1) Why then, do Protestants ignore this fact and continue to splinter the Body of Christ? 2) There is no Protestant who can trace his or her church back any farther than the Protestant revolt of the early 16th century. Where is the verse which authorized them to break from the true Church in the first place? 3) No Protestant can show that their church was founded by Jesus Christ, yet Scripture says there is only one Church, the one founded by GOD (Psalms 127:1, Matthew 16:18). 4) They deny that the Catholic Church is the Church which Jesus Christ founded, yet they cannot name the Church which He did found in its stead. Isn't it strange that Scripture has said that GOD's Church will last forever (Isaiah 2:2,59:21, Matthew 28:20, Ephesians 3:21), and yet Protestants refuse to name it? If Scripture can be believed at all, why then do they refuse to name GOD's one and only Church? 5) They cannot name the person who founded the Catholic Church while at the same time they deny that it was Jesus Christ. That is strange also, since every Church on earth was founded by a person with a name. Every single one of the tens of thousands of Protestant sects can be traced back to a human person with a name, as its founder. Why is it that Protestants refuse to name the founder of the Catholic Church? Isn't that the epitome of arrogance as I touched upon in a previous segment? 6) Why do Protestants spread the lie that the Catholic Church apostatized soon after the last Apostle died, and therefore the Church of today is not the one that Jesus Christ founded? This lie flies in the face of Matthew 16:18, as Protestants must then have to admit that the 'gates of hell' did indeed prevail, that the Bible was in error, and that all of the verses I have previously listed that promise the perpetualty of Christ's Church must be in error as well. This so-called "great apostasy" lie is then magnified a hundredfold since no Protestant can produce genuine historical documents which record such a "monumental, universe shaking event". Every writer who was alive at the time had to have witnessed that supposed "profound event", and those who have lived ever since (up until the time that the lie was invented by Protestantism), did not write about it either. What with the "greatest event since the crucifixion" at hand, why didn't they? It is because it never happened, that's why. Simply put, "No lie is of the truth", 1John 2:21, so therefore no lie can be proven. Scripture does say that people within Christ's Church will apostatize, but not the Church itself. For you see, it is impossible, since Christ is the Head, and the Church is His Body. How could the Body of Christ rebel against, and leave His Head? They are inseparable forever. "Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior." Ephesians 5:22-23 Okay Protestants, explain those verses? Is Christ really the Savior of His Body, or did He desert it as Protestantism would have us believe? Is Holy Scripture in error yet again according to Protestant false charges? Are we to believe the Protestant lie, or the truth of the Word of GOD? Do you recall the story of the wheat and the chaff, where the weeds will co-exist with the righteous up until the very end, and then they will be separated out and burned (Matthew 13:24-30)? "For, in the first place, when you assemble as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it, for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized." 1Corinthians 11:18-19. From those two verses we have a perfect example of the apostasy of individuals within the Church, those who cause divisions and factions. Now from what I have shown in many places in this writing, just who is the cause of divisions and factions? It is none other than Protestantism. Protestantism has already created over 36,000 divisions and factions, and which number is still increasing unceasingly every week to this very day. Who are the 'genuine among you'? They are the faithful of the one and only Church that Jesus Christ founded and which is still with us after almost 2000 years of persecution. Read Acts 5:38-39 for the reason why this longevity. For those who continue to spread the lie of the so-called, and non-existent, "great apostasy", please re-read Revelation 21:8, and endeavor to explain Ephesians 5:23-24? 7) How many verses have I shown in this writing that Protestants ignore? Isn't it a lie to say that you follow Scripture literally to the word, and yet ignore so many Scriptural verses? 8) Why do Protestants take the whole Bible literally except for John chapter 6, which they call symbolic? One chapter in the whole Bible is symbolic? How can that be true? 9) How can Protestants say that Sola Scriptura has been in use from day one, when for over 1400 years almost no one had a Bible, and even if they did, the great majority of the masses were illiterate anyhow? 10) Since Protestants believe that "all Scripture is inspired (2Tim 3:16)", then why aren't the gospels of Peter, Philip, Nicodemus, Bartholomew, Andrew, Thomas, etc, in their Bible? 11) Where in Holy Scripture did Jesus give instructions that the Christian faith is to be solely based on a book? How about the same question except for using the Apostles instead of Jesus? 12) Why do Protestants say it is the Bible which is the pillar and foundation of truth when the Bible clearly says it is the Church (1Tim 3:15)? Please give me the name of that Church? 13) Why do Protestants reject Apostolic Tradition when the Bible clearly says, "So then, brethren, stand firm and hold the teachings that you have learned, whether by word or by letter of ours." 2Thessalonians 2:15, yet another verse ignored, and taught against by Protestantism. 14) Why do Protestants deny that the Bible came from the Catholic Church when they cannot name a truthful and provable alternate source, and where there are literally hundreds of genuine historical documents which prove them to be wrong in their denial? 15) Protestants deny that Peter was given primacy in Matthew 16:18. Nothing in Scripture is done without a purpose. For what purpose then, did Jesus change Simon's name to Peter? 16) Why do Protestants deny that the Papacy is Scriptural, when in fact, it is very Scriptural? 17) Why is it that Protestants can never supply genuine historical documents to "prove" their false charges? Is it because the lie can never be proven, but the truth can be? It is simple, if you have no truth, then you have no proof. Catholics can, and do, supply genuine historical documents to prove what they teach. Why then do Protestants refuse to read them? Romans 1:18, 2:8 18) Why do Protestants deny the unbroken line of succession of Popes down through the centuries from St. Peter to the present Pope, when the Catholic Church has given free access for anyone to research genuine historical documents to prove it to be true, but Protestants refuse to read them? Anyone can go to a secular encyclopedia and see the same succession of Popes. 19) Why do Protestants deny that the Catholic Church has existed from the first century, when hundreds of genuine historical documents, written by scores of Holy men and women, are freely available to prove them wrong in their denial? However, Protestants simply refuse to read them. As explained earlier, Protestants teach that history ended with Acts 28:30 and did not begin again until Luther came along. 20) I saved the worst Protestant lie as the last one on this list. When asked who founded the Catholic Church, there are some who answer correctly that it is Jesus Christ who founded it, but they quickly add that the Catholic Church fell into apostasy and is not the same Church today as the one founded by Jesus. Of course they have no documented proof of this world shaking event as to the who caused it and when and where it happened. By making this false charge they may have condemned themselves because they have just called Jesus Christ a liar. You see there are verses in Holy Scripture which they either choose to ignore or do not understand, and the verses show that Jesus in fact did promise that His Church would last for all time and so did St Paul:😎

'He' and 'His' referring to Christ. Catholics changed it to (Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; She shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise Her heel.") 'She' and 'Her' refers to Mary. 22. Catholic Church use Rev 12 to refer to Mary as 'queen of heaven', when Rev 12:6 clearly refers to Israel escaping the Great Tribulation. Mary cannot be alive to escape the Great Tribulation. 23. Catholic Church refers to Mary as 'Queen of heaven', but 'Queen of Mary' in the Bible is a demonic entity Astoreth or Ishtar, the female deity partner of Baal. 5 verses in Jeremiah as proof.24. Catholic church refers to Mary as the Mediatress, Co redemptress, helper of Christ, firstborn of all creation .. Mary cannot be the mediatress. Jesus is the one and only Mediator between God and man. Only Jesus redeems. Only the Holy Spirit is the Helper sent by Jesus. Only Jesus is the firstborn of all creation. 25. Roman Catholicism has “saints” one can pray to in order to gain a particular blessing. For example, Saint Gianna Beretta Molla is the patron saint of fertility. Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of animals. There are multiple patron saints of healing and comfort. Nowhere is even a hint of this taught in Scripture. Just as the Roman pantheon of gods had a god of love, a god of peace, a god of war, a god of strength, a god of wisdom, etc., so the Catholic Church has a saint who is “in charge” over each of these and many other categories. Many Roman cities had a god specific to the city, and the Catholic Church provided “patron saints” for cities as well.26. Mary is called the gate of heaven? Mary has keys to paradise? Here are roman pagan teachers saying their man made goddess is their savior. None of these quotes have been denounced, on the contrary they are cited. "Open to us, O Mary, the gate of Paradise, since you have its keys! " St. Ambrose "God has entrusted the keys and treasures of Heaven to Mary." St. Thomas Aquinas "No one can enter into Heaven except through Mary, as entering through a gate. " St. Bonaventure "Mary is called "The Gate of Heaven" because no one can enter Heaven but through her means." St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori Papal infallibility Immaculate Mary Assumption of Mary Perpetual Virgin Mary as Mother of God, co mediatrix, co redemptrix, new ark of covenant, Pope as vicar, Holy Water, papacy, peter as first pope, papal succession, apostolic succession, indulgences, 7 sacraments, rosary veneration of saints and statues celibacy of priesthood canonization of saints limbo you said yes but the problem early church doctrine are more similar to RCC

[@SAFSpeaks]

can you please show me the book and verse stating this?

[@joeythemonk007]

​@@SAFSpeaks Stephie, it's wonderful to see that the Lord is drawing you closer to Himself and His Word. Nothing can replace a strong and serious relationship with the Lord. I have reasons to believe that when you take His Word seriously and be honest the Lord will lead you back to the Catholic Church with real understanding and love, not as it was before you knew the Bible. Let me give some reasons for this: The Bible makes it clear that our Lord intended to build a Church and that it is something stable and visible. For example, Mathew 16:18 "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." In the above verse, Jesus says He will build His Church upon a solid rock. If this Church is not a stable visible entity, how can one verify if the gates of hell have not prevailed over it? If any group of believers is the Church, we can argue that so many groups have gone out of existence, so many people have abandoned our Lord and gone astray. The gates of hell shall not prevail against IT. This IT refers to something lasting, enduring, visible and verifyable. In Mathew 18:16-18 we see that if our brother sins against us we are asked to confront him personally, in love. If that doesn't work, we are to take 2 or 3 brothers with us as witnesses. If any group of believers is the Church that Christ built, it should end with this. But no. The Lord says, if he doesn't listen even to this group of brothers, then we should tell it to the Church. If he refuses to listen to the Church, he is to be excommunicated. So we see that there is a Church, which is like a body (as Paul puts it). A body has a head, then shoulders, then other parts. There is a hierarchy. We see it clearly in 1 Cor 12:28: First Apostles, second prophets, then.......There is an order and a hierarchy. This whole body comprising of all of us is the Church. Without being joined to the Head, the shoulders, the chest and so on I as an individual cannot as an individual claim to be the Church. Now, if Christ built a Church, how do we recognize it? According to the Bible, the Church is one that is built up on Peter. Without any disrespect, I have found Protestant commentators to be so dishonest in dealing with this passage. They twist and bend to avoid the real meaning. They say Christ Himself is the rock on which the Church is built. That is very illogical seeing that our Lord intentionally changed Simon's name to Peter and He looked at Peter and said to him, "You are Peter and on THIS ROCK....." Any child with some basic knowledge of grammar will know what this means. Christ did not say, "I am Peter and on this rock" If Christ built His Church on Peter, then how do we find the true Church today? We see in Acts 1:15 onwards that the Apostolic office is not to be vacant. When Judas' chair became vacant, they had to fill it with Mathias. That is the indication that the apostolic office is to be continued. In that Peter's office will stand out as the symbol of unity because to Him Christ gave the binding and losing authority, the keys. If you are interested in discussing more about the Catholic Church, I will consider it an honour to do so. Not to prove Protestants wrong. But so that all the brothers and sisters of Christ may become one as He and the Father are one (John 17:21) God bless you

Want to have a "community church" (like the catholic church doesn't have it...It's just 1.2 billion people and you can go anywhere in the world to it and even without understanding the language from the country you are in knowing where exactly in the ceremony you are and what to say.) But hey this is more of an american thing i believe -> I want my own church in my neighbourhood. Here pops the question up do you just want friends or are you seeking the truth ? If I had to guess when you said to them you were catholic I would say they said things like catholics worship Mary, they bow to statues although it is forbiodden. They removed the second commandment, they pray to dead people and saints. Their whole doctrine is man made. If they are even more "fanatic" they would say things like it is the church of satan. They changed the bible. The pope is the antichrist and so on. Am I right ? What you say at 09:00 in the video gives it even more away. You didn't even start to research for your own. If I can give you an advice. I know it will take a long time. Stick to real friends and family. Those friends in the community (if it is like 99% of every other protestant/christian) will drop you in an instances when you start having doubts (which you will eventually sooner or later). And ask yourself and also those people and the local priest if you can: What makes them so sure that they know the truth ? By what authority they can claim it ? There are thousands of different denominations in the USA alone which all teach something different about morals, Gods word and will and so on. If they say the holy spirit will guide you just remember that everyone says that. So how can it create so many different denominations ? You knew the truth all along.

You mean: "From Catholic to Protestant" Christianity is compressed of three main sects: Catholicism, Orthodoxy, & Protestantism CATHOLICS ALONG WITH ORTHODOX ARE THE ORIGINAL CHRISTIANS. Seventh-day adventists (SDA's ) are a mix of trinitarian and non-trinitarian groups. The trinitarian group would fall under the Protestant category. The SDA denomination was started in the 1800's at a time when many religious cults sprung about (Mormonism and Jehovah Witness watchtower organization). The SDA religion is among those religious cults and was not founded by Jesus Christ Himself. Jesus Christ founded One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Orthodox Church. The bible you read came from the Catholic Church. If you are seeking community, that is totally understandable, and urge you to speak with a Catholic priest about your experience or even talk with a spiritual director. Also, talk about this with your Catholic family. Also, we only need one valid baptism (Ephesians 4:5). Anything taught elsewhere is unbiblical.

But, the Catholic Church and the Orthodox have a minor doctrinal difference and the division is mostly political in my opinion. But as far the real Church that Jesus had founded on the cross by giving Mary to John and the community he had built with apostoles is the Catholic Church. Catholic Church gives you God's blessings through sacraments and has a definitive doctrinal structure which is always based.

@@SAFSpeaks With that logic in mind, where in the Bible does it say Catholics are NOT Christians?.. See how only Bible or sola scriptura does not really work.. The word Trinity is not found in the Bible alone neither, yet we Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants alike (all Christians) accept Holy Trinity to be God. We catholics, 100% believe in scripture yes; however, we believe in more as well such that we believe in sacred scripture, sacred tradition, and the magisterium. Literally research who compiled the books within the Christian Bible you got and you will see it was catholic bishops, saints, and theologians that vigorously worked to compile orthodox Christian readings on what we have to read from the Bible. Keep in mind, for centuries there was no printing press nor could many Christians read or write. Here is this guide: These are the people behind the making of the Christian Bible: 1. Pope Saint Damasus I (the 1st) chose the scriptures which he considers genuine and ordered. 2. Saint Jerome translated the scriptures for 30 years in a cave in Jerusalem (397-467 AD) and called it "Latin Vulgate" 3. Pope Saint Siricius called it the "Bible" 4. Tertullian gave the term "New Testament" in 200 AD and was the oldest extant Latin writer to use the term "Trinitas" or "Trinity" 5. Archbishop Stephen Langton and Cardinal Hugo De Caro were credited for creating chapters and verses in the Bible The Bible is a gift that God gave the world through the Catholic Church. The Pope is like how in nationalistic terms would think of as current president, you know how we Americans can trace our president back to the first president, George Washington. Well, same with the Pope, we can trace our Popes all the way back to the first Pope who was St. Peter to current day Pope Francis and Jesus gave the keys to the kingdom of heaven to St. Peter to whom He built His church upon (Reference book of St. Matthew 16:18-19). Yes, the Bible is important to study absolutely as this is how we know Christ more but Jesus left us the Church, we are His bride. May almighty God, Holy Trinity, bless you.

[@Lerian_V]

"before we reed the Bible an find the truth" This is one tell-tale sign that your family was never devout in practicing their faith. It was more like a cultural thing; you were born into it and had to follow it blindly. But that's not what true Catholicism is. The Bible is read every day in the Catholic Church and at every single Mass. Don't blame your lukewarm disposition as a Catholic on the Church not reading the Bible. That would be totally false. If you read the Bible and find any truth in it, it's either the Church has already been teaching that truth for 2000 years (even before the Testament books were written) or what you perceive to be truth is actually not so. Reading the Bible outside the Catholic context exposes you to a lot of misinterpretations. Protestantism doesn't work, it never does. Let me clear you on why the Sabbath day was changed by the apostles in the first century (not later). The apostles changed worship day from "Sabbath day" which is Saturday to "the Lord's day" which is Sunday. Passages of Scripture such as Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2, Colossians 2:16-17, and Revelation 1:10 indicate that, even during New Testament times, the Sabbath is no longer binding and that Christians are to worship on the Lord’s day, Sunday, instead. The early Church Fathers compared the observance of the Sabbath to the observance of the rite of circumcision, and from that they demonstrated that if the apostles abolished circumcision (Gal. 5:1-6), so also the observance of the Sabbath must have been abolished. The first Christians understood this principle and gathered for worship on Sunday (the Lord's day).

Jesus says you will do miracles in His name but He will not know you And as for the spotless record, Judas Iscariot was His own disciple and yet betrayed Him Peter and others run away when He was captured So of course His Church will not be squeaky clean since it run by humans

[@luisaymerich9675]

If squeaky clean is the hallmark of the church then it is not the church of the Bible. While many of the scriptures show teaching and encouragement it also shows admonishing Christians who were in error or fighting one another. The same it was with the people of God. The Jews were a people always rebelling against God and killing his prophets. Was king David squeaky clean? Don't go by pretenses of holiness like the Pharisees whom many Jesus called tombs whitewashed outside but full of rot inside.
