Pt 2 Catholic or Christian Why you can't be both at the same time

Pt 2. CATHOLIC OR CHRISTIAN? Why you can’t be both at the same time. There are many beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church that are not scriptural; therefore one needs to leave the Catholic Church if one wants to be a true Christian and wants to make it to heaven and meanwhile wants to dwell in good covenant relationship with God. Actually once one starts examining the beliefs of the Catholic Church, it does not take long to realize that the Catholic Church is far more pagan than Christian.
When Constantine the Great decided to change the basic religious belief the Roman Empire in the 4th century AD to Christianity, he and his followers (particularly his mother Helena), simply (in its most simple form) went from persecuting real Christians to persecuting pagans. This does not make good Christians. Convert of suffer persecution and/or death. Why not simply give all the main characters of the pagan world Christian names? E.g. The Goddess Diana (Athena) Mary and instead of the baby being Hephaestus, why not baby Jesus? Or instead the goddess/mother Semiramis with her child Tanimuz, Mary and Jesus?
And that is just the beginning. Are Catholics good people? Yes, in general, as in any walks of life - some good and some not so good. But we are not addressing that point. We all need saving; believers and non-believers - Catholics and Protestants. The question I am addressing in this video is once a Catholic is converted; can they please God by trying to be both a good Catholic and a Christian at the same time? Have a look at the video, before answering that question.

In the 16th chapter of Matthew's Gospel, Christ singled out the Apostle Peter for the central position of founding His Church and gives to Peter the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. The best spokespersons for an understanding of Matthew would be members of the Apostolic Church, those who heard the words of Christ and writers of the New Testament who recorded the words and deeds of Christ and the early church. 😉😉 The Evangelists usually make Peter the spokesperson for all the apostles. Mk 8:29 And he (Jesus) asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter said to him in reply, "You are the Messiah." Mt 18:21 Then Peter approaching asked him, "Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?" Lk 12:41 Then Peter said, "Lord, is this parable meant for us or for everyone?" Jn 6:67-68 Jesus then said to the Twelve, "Do you also want to leave?" Simon Peter answered him, "Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." In especially dramatic scenes in the Gospels, Peter is often the central figure. Mt 14:27-28 At once (Jesus) spoke to them, "Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid." Peter said to him in reply, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water." Lk 5:3-8 Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, he (Jesus) asked him to put out a short distance from the shore. ... He said to Simon, "Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch." Simon said in reply, "Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets." When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing. ... When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, "Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man." Mk 10:28 Peter began to say to him, "We have given up everything and followed you." Mt 17:24-25 ...the collectors of the temple tax approached Peter and said, "Doesn't your teacher pay the temple tax?" "Yes," he said. When he came into the house, before he had time to speak, Jesus asked him, "What is your opinion, Simon?" Peter is always named first when the apostles are listed in the synoptic gospels and the Acts of the Apostles. Mk 3:16-17 He (Jesus) appointed the twelve: Simon, whom he named Peter; James, son of Zebedee, and John ... Mt 10:2 The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Lk 6:13-14 When day came, he called his disciples to himself, and from them he chose Twelve, whom he also named apostles: Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Acts 1:13 When they entered the city they went to the upper room where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip ... It is not uncommon that the apostles are simply referred to as Peter and "his companions" or "the apostles." Acts 2:37 ... they asked Peter and the other apostles, "What are we to do, my brothers?" Lk 9:32 Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep ... Acts 5:29 But Peter and the apostles said in reply, "We must obey God rather than men." In light of the special calling on his life, the sacred authors refer to Peter as being singled out and being shown signs of respect. Jn 20:3-8 So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb. They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first, ... but did not go in. When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths ... Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first ... Jn 21:15-17 Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs" ... "Tend my sheep." ... "Feed my sheep." In Paul's letters, Peter is called the first witness to the Resurrection. 1 Cor 15:3-5 ... Christ died ... was buried ... was raised on the third day ... that he appeared to Kephas, then to the Twelve. Paul repeatedly call Peter "Kephas," the name given him by Christ. Gal 1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to confer with Kephas and remained with him for fifteen days. Gal 2:9 James and Kephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave me and Barnabas their right hands in partnership ... Gal 2:11 And when Kephas came to Antioch, I opposed him ... Gal 2:14 ... I said to Kephas in front of all ... 1 Cor 1:12 I mean that each of you is saying, "I belong to Paul," ... "I belong to Kephas," ... 1 Cor 3:22 Paul or Apollos or Kephas, or the world or life or death, or the present or the future: all belong to you ... 1 Cor 9:5 Do we not have the right to take along a Christian wife, as do the rest of the apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Kephas? Luke, in the Acts of the Apostles, clearly acknowledges Peter's leadership role. Acts 2:14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice, and proclaimed to them, "You who are Jews ..." Acts 3:12 When Peter saw this, he addressed the people, "You Israelites, why are you amazed at this?" Acts 4:8 Then Peter, filled with the holy Spirit, answered them, "Leaders of the people and elders" Acts 5:3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart ..." Acts 5:29 But Peter and the apostles said in reply, "We must obey God rather than men." Acts 8:20 But Peter said to him, "May your money perish with you ..." Acts 10:34 Then Peter proceeded to speak and said, "In truth, I see that God shows no partiality." Acts 11:4 Peter began and explained it to them step by step, saying... Acts 15:7 After much debate had taken place, Peter got up and said to them ... Acts 3:6 Peter said, "I have neither silver nor gold, but what I do have I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, (rise and) walk." Acts 9:34 Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed." Acts 9:40 Peter sent them all out and knelt down and prayed. Then he turned to her body and said, "Tabitha, rise up." Acts 5:15 Thus they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and mats so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on one or another of them. Acts 10:9-10 The next day, ... Peter went up to the roof terrace to pray at about noontime. ... he fell into a trance. Acts 10:46-47 Then Peter responded, "Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people, who have received the holy Spirit even as we have?" The Gospels make explicit statements about Peter's unique role in the church. Lk 22:31-32 "Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded to sift all of you like wheat, but I have prayed that your own faith may not fail; and once you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers." Jn 21:15-17 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." He then said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep." He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." (Jesus) said to him, "Feed my sheep." Mt 16:15-19 He (Jesus) said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter said in reply, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

A precise English translation would be "Thou art Rock, and upon this very (or same) rock will I build my church", since Matthew uses the demonstrative pronoun taute, which means "this very" or this same, when he refers to the rock on which Jesus' church will be built. When the demonstrative pronoun "this" is used after a conjunction such as the word "and" here, it refers back to the immediately preceding noun. In this case, it equates the "rock" with the preceding one, namely Peter; and the use of "and" rather than "but" indicates the same.[5][6][7] The suggestion sometimes advanced that "πέτρος" indicated a pebble, but "πέτρα" a rock, is unfounded. The entries in Liddell and Scott for the two words indicate that, while "πέτρα" can mean a cliff, rather than a detachable rock, "πέτρος" is used, for instance, for a boulder forming a landmark,[8] or for rocks rolled down a hill against enemy troops.[9] Christ is the Corner Stone not the Rock His being the chief corner-stone of the Church Isa 28:16 1Pe 2:6,7🤔🤔

I think Peter one day will shout I never was and I never am a Pope. He was a great Apostle. One would never want to take away from the importance of Peter - particularly in Acts 1 and 2 - and of course over and again in the following chapters. It was the Apostle Paul who was taken to Rome and was executed by Nero - no Bibleical record that Peter ever went to Rome - yet another Roman Catholic Church fairy tale!

The vain, repetitious prayer Jesus warned about was the type of prayer described in 1 Kings 18:26-28: Quote: “And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made. And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.” The pagans would call upon the name of their gods over and over until they got the god to respond. If their god responded, it made the shaman or holy man a big shot, capable of calling the gods down from heaven. That's the "vain" part. The "repetitious" part is not the problem. Jesus prayed the same prayer three times in the Garden. The angels in heaven endlessly repeat "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is THE LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, WHO WAS AND WHO IS AND WHO IS TO COME." Now that's repetitious prayer, but it's pleasing to God. Just like the Rosary. Keep on prayin'! Here is a list of some in each category that you can check in your Bible.

Tongues Here...let St. Paul answer for us:🤦‍♂🤦‍♂ Spiritual Retardation and Speaking In Tongues "Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? Have all gifts of healing? ****Do all speak with tongues?**** Do all interpret? But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet I shew unto you a more excellent way." - Cor. 12: 29-31 **** The answer to this rhetorical question, is, of course: "NO!" Speaking in tongues (in the form of strange and unknown tongues) is a relatively new phenomenon in the Protestant churches, of less than a hundred years old. in the scriptures this strange form of Speaking in unknown tongues, was sharply criticized by St. Paul. "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." - 1 Jn.. 4:1 "I would that ye all spake with tongues; but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues" - 1 Cor. 14:5 "So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air." - 1 Cor. 14:9 "Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me." - 1 Cor. 14:11 "For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful." - 1 Cor. 14:14 "Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue." - 1 Cor. 14:19 "If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues (I.E strange and unknown tongues), and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?" -- 1 Cor. 14:23 Source(s): "Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? Have all gifts of healing? ****Do all speak with tongues?**** Do all interpret? But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet I shew unto you a more excellent way." - Cor. 12: 29-31 **** The answer to this rhetorical question, is, of course: "NO!"

so we should remove Mark 16:17 and John 3:8 and probably should remove Acts 2:38 and plenty of others from the bible .. just going off of what you said of course as these should contradict what you said and we can't have that can we :) and im guessing your not Spirit filled either?

@@maverickvgge Why not remove Mark and John and Acts and plenty of others from the bible, Protestants already removed seven books from the Old Testament, and Luther wanted to remove James from the New Testament. Protestants are pawns in the satanic effort to destroy God's Holy Catholic Church.

@@maverickvgge I think you guessed right. Just as not everyone can be an Apostle, neither does everyone operate Interpretation or the gift of tongues in a meeting. The only sign given in scripture that proclaims somewone is Spirit Filled, is when they speak in tongues - Acts 2:4, Acts 10 and Acts 19. Many confuse the sign of speaking in tongues as one is baptised/filled with the Holy Spirit and then later, when the church is gathered together, the operation of the Gifts of the Spirit, particularly the three voice gifts; Tongues, Interpretation and Prophecy.

Paul did not criticise Speaking tongues in its self - he criticised the wrong use of that wonderful, God given experience. 1 Corinthians 14 is all about the correct use - Paul personally loved speaking in tongues "...more than you all...," but it is not there for giving thanks for the cup or opening a meeting in prayer - that should be in a language commen to most of the folk present - not for preaching either.
