Roman Catholic Priest In Training Calls In For A Chat

Ryan speaks with clarity like a good ambassador of Christ. God bless the work of his ministry.

Wow, this was a textbook conversation with a Roman Catholic. You gave this guy a lot to think and pray about. God bless you and your ministry.

[@Rambling-Thomas]

@@sebastiankaczmarek635 Protestants do believe we have the complete version of the Bible. The Apocrypha was always debated and considered less than the rest of the Scriptures. They are not Hebrew texts, so outside the period of the Old Testament writings. Still incredibly useful but not considered inspired or suitable for doctrine. It was only during the Reformation at the Councel of Trent when the Apocrypha was officially considered fully canon for Roman Catholics. You might not like that answer but there it is. Martin Luther didn't have the final word on what the Bible had either, he was challenged by other Reformers when he tried to remove James for example. Luther isn't our Pope, while he did a lot of good for the Reformation, he wasn't infallible. Can you re-explain your last question? I do not understand what you're getting at. We are saved by grace at belief in Christ's complete work, and then there is a santification process throughout our lives as believers, but this working out is in response to God's free grace. We don't do works to earn his grace. That work for savlation is already complete.

[@Rambling-Thomas]

@@sebastiankaczmarek635 The oldest Old Testament canon was written down in 170 AD by Melito of Sardis, which did not contain the Apocrypha, and additionally none of the Apocrypha were written down any any regonized prothets of God, and again were not written in the same language as the Old Testament Scriptures. And the Roman Catholic Church is not as unified as it makes out. There was always theological debate and nuance throughout history. You have the Orthodox split long before Protestantism, and you also have Old Catholics more recently. Many Roman Catholics are not happy with the current Pope today, and what would you do if he made a "infallible" claim that completely changed the nature of the gospel understood today (in RC terms)? If he made a claim that for 2000 years was not accepted by believers? Would you follow him blindly?

[@Rambling-Thomas]

@@sebastiankaczmarek635 Yep and those with variying degrees of recognition within the Early Church means they should not be instantly accepted as they weren't then either. I still think reading the Apocrypha can be useful historically, but not for doctrinal teaching in the Church. You didn't answer my other question. What would you do if the current Pope radically changed Biblical doctrine as understood in the RCC today?

[@Rambling-Thomas]

​@@sebastiankaczmarek635 You have avoided my last question a few times now.

[@Rambling-Thomas]

@@sebastiankaczmarek635 KZbin does auto delete posts sometimes, it has happened to me. Thank you for pushing through with your reply. But what does the RCC do regarding false prophets? How can it deal with someone who gets into the Papacy and then declares false doctrines true? The answer is go back to the Bible as it is the Word of God. There have been bad Popes in the past. The Papacy was sold to the highest bidder at many points in its history. And at one point there was 2 Popes, there was much debate about the Papacy. The 2000 years of perfect RCChurch tradition rhetoric is in fact incredibly messy. This is why the Reformation was needed, and is always needed. The Church is always reforming back to the Word of God.

As a young Christian, I once went to my local Catholic church and asked the priest directly what I needed to do to be saved. His answer was to join the (Roman) Catholic church and to live a good life. As I talked with him it became apparent that he had no idea what was required for salvation; his whole doctrine came down to a list of dos and don’ts and a whole lot of hope.

[@rodriquenongkynrih6665]

Church have been established upon the Rock. Where is that Church that stand still on the Rock??? Is that church collapsed?? Yes every Christian have different perspectives of the Bible but yet same principles. Hence, Catholic or Protestant or any Christian are doing for the right things for the spreading of gospels of Christ. But the only things what when wrong is that they reject what Jesus said in Matthew 16:19 and 18:18 “what ever you lose on earth I will lose in heaven and what ever you bind on earth I will bind in heaven” and they also reject “Matthew 16:19“Given the keys of heaven” specifically mentioned to Peter only which he who have answered that Jesus is son of God, not anyone else because others have answered wrong by saying Jesus is John the baptise or Elias so on. But only Peter got the right answer and Jesus satisfied his answer and he give a gift of keys of heaven and become a Rock and shepherd like him (John 21:16).

@@JohnsonMathew-w3s none of what you said is supported by the Bible. Jesus didn't offer heaven as a gift - He offered SALVATION, that' what the Bible tells us. Those who have faith - will follow Him, as a result of it. Whenever you say - "faith is not enough" - you contradict a massive amount of Scripture. Even just look at Ephesians 2.8-9. It's not of our own doing, so that no one may boast. If you go to heaven BECAUSE you do something. You are saying that Christ's sacrifice is not enough and it's your deeds are adding to your salvation, which then means than you can boast in it - because you did something in order to get into heaven. That means that there a person(say Bob) who believed in Jesus, but didn't follow Him perfectly, or failed let's say 75% of times, and there this other person(Billy) who also believed in Christ, but followed Jesus better than Bob, say he failed 60% of the times. And now let's say Billy goes to heaven and Bob doesn't. Why is that? well that's because of their works. Which means literally Billy can boast in that. Why - well because he did better than Bob, although they both believed in Christ. So that contradicts the Scripture, because God's word literally says - no one can boast, it's not of your own doing...

He actually made many mistakes and even made an argument that the Old Testament is more authoritative than the New Testament without even realizing it. Not only that but are multiple verses that go against the belief of eternal security that he was making in this video; the claim that you can know you are saved. Throughout the New Testament there are verses that state that one does not know and that presuming to know is wrong.

[@Jack-lf1ng]

@@GamingxKnight Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming you were talking about how the Jews went to the OT in order to validate what Paul was saying. In what way does that make the OT more authoritative? The NT did not exist yet, and the entire purpose of the OT is to point to the coming Messiah, Jesus. It is because they were attempting to validate what Paul was saying about the Messiah that they were taking what Paul was saying back to the OT. Nowhere does that make the OT more authoritative than the NT. Also I would love to see those verses talking about presuming your salvation is wrong...

I hope so… History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, - the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, - the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, - not only did they not agree but their individual lists of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time, growing in numbers of hundreds of “inspired” NT writings. Therefore, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved it by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us who did?

He takes you on a journey through his life and the catholic church and why he finally left. It was a fantastic read. One of the interesting things was there was a controversy over Mary's role in the church at that time. He was also friends with President Lincoln and gives some insight into his assassination.

In repenting our sins we tell it to the priest and then the priest tell us to pray the our father repeatedly.

When I’m debating someone or sharing the gospel I’m expecting the Holy Spirit to be there and bring things together for me because its not me speaking but Christ speaking through me. Remembrance isn’t a special gift like healing or tongues. Jesus says when they drag you into the synagogues and you have to speak don’t worry about what you will have to say because the Holy Spirit will bring mind what you need to say. NeedGod isn’t doing as much as you think He is, it’s the Holy Spirit speaking through him and that not anyone trying to be humble it’s just true.

(Matt 7:21-23; Isaiah 61:10; Romans 10:1-11). Sincerely, to those who cling to works and not to Christ alone, our ONLY high priest (Hebrews 4:14-16), you may hear the words “depart from me, I never knew you”-even if you’ve done miracles in His name! Have confidence in Christ’s work alone: “Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are-yet he did not sin.

I am a former Catholic. What a great conversation that is a great reminder and applicable to being ready to defend the Faith (1 Peter 3:15). The best defense against spotting a fake is by being super familiar with the real deal. He does a great job of making a point and making him sit in it and recognize it before moving on. Regarding the Eucharist - The Jews celebrated Passover in remembrance of how God rescued His people. Jesus is our new Passover (1 Cor 5:7) so Communion is our Passover remembering how God once again rescued His people. I would ask this man what does the Bible say is the prerequisite for becoming a pastor/priest/elder/overseer - must be married and have children. When he brings up tradition I would offer that Jehovahs witnesses and Mormons say they believe in their traditions. So the question to ask is what specific traditions and when were these traditions established. He brought up great Scripture about Jesus condemning traditions of men. At 47:11 - great references to actual tradition teaching against the RC a view of Communion.

[@GamingxKnight]

If you actually look at the Greek word for when Jesus said 'do this in remembrance of me', it is actually more accurately translated as 'representation'. The Passover celebration wasn't just a remembrance of God rescuing them, but they believed they were there at the parting of the Red Sea, being rescued from Egypt, and wandering through the desert with their ancestors. So your argument against the Eucharist is void, as the Eucharist isn't a remembrance, but a representation of Christ's sacrifice on the Cross and is His body, as Jesus said.

[@luisd7632]

@@GamingxKnight Appreciate the dialogue here and glad you're thinking this through! I actually don't think our understanding of Passover differs. At a very high level - Both Passover & Easter celebrate how God saved His people from death. In Exodus, the blood of a spotless lamb was required for death to pass over the Israelites. Christ was that spotless lamb whose blood allows death to pass over us. I think we're saying the same thing - God rescued His people through the blood of a spotless lamb. Again, 1 Cor 5:7 - "For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed." When Christ said to do it in remembrance - looking at the Greek - it literally means, in memory, recalling, remembering. He meant it at face value, just as God has commanded His people to never forget all He has done - whether the Feast of Weeks, the Feast of Booths. Even in the other events like the stones in Joshua 4:21-24. Judges 2:10-12 reminds us that it only takes one generation to forget what our Lord has done for us. To take it literally and claim it becomes His physical body, as Catholics do - you're going to have problem with Christ's words when he said things like "take up your cross daily," "die to yourself," "pluck out your eye if it causes you to sin," and I doubt he turns to wood when he says He "is the door." Jesus had to correct Nicodemus when he was told to be born again.

It just struck me that, on the one hand, yes to be saved we MUST have the kind of true faith that produces works. The problem in Catholicism is a false faith that produces works. It is a false faith in that they lack a faith in the sufficiency of Christ's work and it is that lack of faith that prompts them to add works of their own.

[@jacobabshire9560]

I'm a Catholic and though I am glad to see a fellow searcher of the truth and willing to have discourse with others I would like to bring up a few points from the first part of the video. As I don't doubt the trustworthiness of the seminarian, I would question how Indepth his theological studies are. Though I'm sure he's preoccupied with how to conduct the mass. 1. Having read the Councils of Nicaea in 325 & 787 AD. Ryan here states a false claim, nowhere in the documents does it state that a bishop has no say over another's decision. It does however prevent them from living exuberant lives, living with women, and that a bishop can only be ordained by other bishops. 2. From the time of ST. Peter's death in 67 AD. there had been 32 Popes who took the office up until the first Nicaean council. And the fact that have contact with others in the ancient world was very difficult and at the early centuries Christians were persecuted, having a "helicopter parent" as what some might see the pope in today's world would not have been possible at that time. 3. Act 17:11, when Paul calls the Bereans more noble than the Thessalonians, he was referring to the fact that the Bereans didn't chase him out and were willing to hear what he had to say. Not solely that they would look back at the scriptures, the gospels weren't published yet, and anyone could have said of a false account that corroborated with the Old Testament prophesies of the messiah. They were more noble simply because they were, with open hearts, willing to hear what Paul had to say. 4. A common belief is that the writers of scripture were puppeted and had no personalization when writing. The authors were co-authors and were led by the Holy Spirit to wright but were able to personalize them. Otherwise, for example, the Gospels wouldn't have those small minute detail differences. Such as having a different number of individuals healed at a given town. 5. God would of course set up a bases of authority given by him for his church to build upon, starting with St. Peter. If this wasn't true, we wouldn't have a straight line of Papal succession after Peter, the councils wouldn't have had to accrue to discuss heresy and guidelines for her clergy, or even Jesus sending his apostles out to preach. there have always been hierarchy within the church Jesus even followed the Mosaic Law. 6. With regards to souls who have not heard the gospel. The Catholic teaching is that an individual could merit "Salvation Through Extraordinary Means" even if not ever learning of Christianity but will be judged on the Natural Law which is different to us as we will be judged harsher since we know better. 7. Where Ryan says he doesn't require a "man" to teach him what to believe in. I ask then how you have learned anything if not from another? We all needed someone to help instruct us the scripture and other matters of Christianity. If this was the case, why have preachers? If they aren't teaching, it only becomes an echo chamber and meaningless. Deeper developments and understanding through studying scripture and traditions will always be required. ST. John even says that not everything could fit in this book. So, we must rely on those who have studied and have the authority to present those teachings. Otherwise, we'll end up with more division and heretical beliefs as we've seen in the past. Which is what the councils were for. 8. Later developments in doctrine do not render them void. Electricity wasn't fully understood in the beginning but later studying lead to further developments which are held as true. Just because we take time to define something doesn't mean the essence wasn't always there. 9. Mary's perpetual Virginity has always been believed by the early church and on. The passage in Mark 6:3, (If this is the passage Ryan is referencing) the term brother in the original Greek is "Adelphos" which was a much broader term which could mean blood relative but could also refer to a cousin and even a spiritual brother. But nowhere in scripture are the supposed siblings of Jesus ever described as the children of Mary the mother of Jesus. Just because Mary was born without sin doesn't mean she didn't need a savior she herself calls God her savior in John1:47. I would like to say again I really do appreciate when others are willing to defend the Faith, but always remember to have a humble skepticism and learn what the authoritative teachings say, as i don't doubt Ryan's sincerity, I do respectfully doubt his sources.

​​@@Jk-ow8nyCatholic Church: Council of Trent Anathemas (Damnation) 9. If any one saith, that by faith alone the impious is justified; in such wise as to mean, that nothing else is required to co-operate in order to the obtaining the grace of Justification, and that it is not in any way necessary, that he be prepared and disposed by the movement of his own will; let him be anathema. The Apostle Paul in Romans: ‭Romans 3:28, 4:1-5, 5:1 KJV‬ [28] Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. [1] What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? [2] For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. [3] For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. [4] Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. [5] But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. [1] Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Who's right, if not the Word of God

Hi brother! I have a quick question: You mentioned around 25:50 that Jesus had to follow the Old Testament law perfectly in order to fulfill it and be sinless, but I always thought that He went against the law when he performed miracles on the Sabbath. Were the Pharisees's allegations against Him invalid?

[@InitialPC]

it was against their traditions but not against scripture

[@captainkrajick]

There is no Scripture for miracles on the Sabbath. There provision to help people on the Sabbath, as in the case of pulling oxen/livestock trapped in a pit on the Sabbath That's why Jesus calls the Pharisees hypicrites

[@piercelee9421]

In deuteronamy when it bans reaping on the sabbath it was only if it was to gain money (work could not be done) but it I was hungry than eating it was fine and it was not stealing as the law allowed for people to take a little food.

I truly hope and aspire to develope an intimate knowledge of the scriptures like you Ryan. I always was blown away by the idea of the Papalcy being taken so far when it isn't in scripture. The verse (Matthew 16:18) commonly used is Jesus talking to Peter, saying "On this rock i will build my church" but thats the only part of the chapter (it seems) they look at for that comment. (Just a random brother in the faiths opinion/interpretation) It, to me, seems to be a joyous expression of Jesus acknowledging the revelation from Peter for having it revealed to him by God that Jesus is the Christ and on that revelation he will build the church. That he will build his church on The Christ through Gods revelation of himself. The papalcy being taken to this extent of a lineage back to peter because of this statement from Jesus, is scary to me the slippery slope of man taking the doctrine to an extreme. (probably more to it than that but this sticks out to me at the moment when making my point) I truly find it scary that the catholic and some protestant churchs hold the building/leaders/pope/doctrine/and specific church affiliation to such a high place. That someone showing basic doctrine/beliefs/quotes of scripture doesnt seem to want to let go of their initial biases/what school or priests have spoken. Even when it directly contradicts the scripture and Jesus's words. Only to pull one verse completly out of context of the writing itself but only to fit the doctrine they want to profess. (Either literal or figurative based on the ideology) Also the belief of physical rituals/expressions of faith (communion, baptism) as a requirement for salvation seems to want to invalidate one of the more powerful salvations in the bible. (in my opinion) The good thief on the cross, looks Jesus in the face acknowledged he was the son of God who suffers for no sin, asks to only be remembered in his kingdom after his death, and Jesus gives him the most amazing news "today, you will be with me in paradise". So powerful..... I apologize for the lengthy comment. God bless you and your demeanor in all your talks.

If Mary was saved before conception by being filled with grace, kept so that she would never do any sin... Then Jesus didn't have to die. Jesus died because it was the ONLY means to save us from sin.

An interesting bit of scripture when Catholics like this young man bring up Peter being given the keys to the kingdom. Jesus didn't give Peter those keys in Matthew 16. Jesus says "I will give you the keys..." meaning Jesus would give them at a later time. Now, read John 20:22. After the resurrection Jesus breathed the Holy Spirit onto many of the disciples at the same time and gave them loosing/binding power. Sola Scriptura isn't about not receiving teaching from elders or pastors. We certainly do. It is just that the word of God take primacy over the teachings of man. So, like the Bereans, we are to test the teachings and traditions of men against what the holy scriptures say. I hope this young man humbles himself in the sight of God and really digs into scripture on his own. Use that big brain to learn, not just parrot the teachings in the Magisterium. God bless. We are to memorize the word of God foremost - not the chapters and lines of the catechism. Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

[@HaggisOfDeath]

Really great video. I would add that the Church, while fallible, was attempting to follow God properly from those earliest days where the Apostles were going out and bringing people to Christ. Over time, confusion and false doctrine got added in. This happened at the beginning too, which is why Peter and Paul wrote their letters addressing such things. The Early Church saw councils and synods coming together to try to correct false doctrine. Note these councils and synods were not infallible, they could be wrong, but they still had authority and they could also be right, the way we discern whether or not they are right is testing what they say against the infallible authority of the Bible. By the time of Luther, and before him the likes of Hus and Wycliffe; the RC church had begun to deviate from the original teachings immensely. Those 'reformers' never wanted to destroy the RC church, or even leave it; they wanted to correct the error that had crept in, and bring it back in line with the teachings of Christ and the Apostles, with the best resource for discerning what that was being the Bible. As such, the rallying crying of Sola Scriptura (among the other Solas) was not a call to start a new sect of Christianity, or destroy the old, but rather to test the teachings and traditions of the RC church against what we find in the Bible, and if those traditions are in line with what we find in the Bible, we can accept them (like the Triune Nature of God), but if they go against what is taught in the Bible, then we must side with the Bible; and as such we will reject those teachings about how you must perform the sacraments to be saved, or that you must believe Mary was assumed into heaven to be saved, or whatever it might be. Note also: the Bible never says anything about Mary being assumed into heaven, for all we know Mary might have been assumed into heaven (though this is unlikely as none of the Early Church Fathers mention it when talking about the transfiguration of Christ or the assumption of Elijah and Enoch; if Mary had also been assumed, we'd expect her to be mentioned along side them), however while Mary may have never died, that does not mean that our salvation is dependent on believing that Mary never died, which is what the RCs now teach. The issue is less with these 'maybe' questions that are irrelevant to our theology, which I feel can include stuff like purgatory (if it is understood as the process of sanctification, with it being understood that we are fully saved by Christ's grace through faith, but just that we need to be sanctified fully before entering heaven; I'm not saying this is the case, but as far as I can tell it doesn't go against Scripture, it just isn't directly supported by Scripture either); but rather the issue is that they stretch these 'maybe ideas' and make believing them requirements for salvation, which is clearly against what the Bible teaches. Put another way, I do not have a problem with people believing in purgatory or Mary being assumed into heaven, while such things have no evidence, I see them as entirely possible as they are not directly contradicted by Scripture; what I do have a problem with is claiming that you must believe those things to be saved, because the Bible clearly does not teach that.
