Mike Gendron's Anti-Catholic Lies [EXPOSED]

[@jcf150_9]

My wife and I converted to Catholicism in 2023. I was baptized and she was confirmed at the Easter Vigil. Mike Gendron's lies nearly tore our family apart. My mother was concerned about us becoming Catholic so she sought council from her SBC pastor. He gave her a copy of Mike's book which she read, took as absolute truth, and then gave to me. The distrust/fear sown by that book nearly wrecked our entire relationship. Thanks be to God we are talking again and spending family time together, but there is still a healthy amount of tension that I attribute directly to the fear and division stirred up by Mike Gendron's outright lies (because really who can do this for 30+ years and still be given the benefit of the doubt on ignorance). Thank you for taking the time to address him. His arguments are bad... almost so bad that they are difficult and painful to take the time to thoroughly address. They're low hanging fruit but they have poisoned God knows how many Catholics who didn't know any better.

[@jcf150_9]

@@_ready__ Look man. Please spare me the tract/rehearsed verses today. I don't have the time or the energy to go back and forth. Do yourself a favor and just pick one topic on which you disagree with the Catholic church and give both sides a fair shake. I'd recommend baptism as a starting point since (and forgive me if I am misjudging) you're likely from a denomination that denies baptismal regeneration or even the outright necessity of it in normal circumstances. Read the scritural cases for the view of the Church and your view and think about it for a minute. At the very least you will find the Church has a highly plausible (it's way better but I am trying to be conservative) Biblical case for what she believes about Baptism. After that, take a look at the historic Christian belief surrounding baptism and ask yourself this question: "If both of these cases could be made from the Bible, and all of these Christians for 1500 years believed in this one case, then what authority do I have to believe otherwise?" Take that one case and see if you can honestly say the Church is definitely wrong about it before you get back to me. With any luck, and a lot of grace, I hope that you see that the Church is right about that one point. After that, I pray you'll be willing to begin engaging on other topics in an open minded fashion. Thanks and have a nice day. Reminder: I have no intention of responding to tractapalooza or any sort of Bible verse slinging contest today. I may consider replying back if you can demonstrate that you have interest in making an honest study of a subject like the one I mentioned. Until then, there is no good in us talking past eachother.

I came home in 2000 by the grace of God. My eyes were opened to the Hoky Eucharist! Even though I still had issues with some teachings I knew it was akin to spiritual suicide to stay away from Jesus Christ in Holy Communion. That would be ridiculous to say the least. As for all the other “stuff “ I had problems with, I read, prayed, researched and found the absolute truth about each doctrine and the Catholic faith as a whole was beautiful.

Throughout history the Catholic Church either banned the Bible or burned if it was in the language of the people.

[@fabianagco5902]

In his early years Luther (in the 95 thesis) opines that purgatory is something great to be embraced and those who fear and try to evade it (by obtaining indulgences) sin exactly by doing that. But today many protestants just sell a cheap knock-off christianity in which "faith" means belief in "god will make all well - no matter what". Once hooked on that, anything that challenges it will be rejected, because it is the one thing that Must Not Be Challenged.

[@Michelle_Picket12]

I was afraid of purgatory because of the "fire." Going through RCIA, I was calmed by learning the official church teaching is not that you go to an outer realm of hell and will be purged in fire and will be there until someone prays you out. Whew what a relief. But to know that, God in his goodness and mercy is cleansing me of my attachment to sin to prepare me for heaven!! I pray I make it!! Lord have mercy on me a sinner!

Purgatory is not feared by Protestants. First there is no reference or allusion to the practice in Scripture. Secondly, it promotes the practice of works to get oneself into Heaven, not faith.

[@CorJenFarm]

As a Seventh Day Adventist who watches both Joe and Trent Horn regularly, I appreciate this video. The very reason I started watching you guys was because I wanted to understand the Catholic perspective from their lips and not what is regurgitated to me. Because I actively teach the SDA message which has some pretty offensive beliefs towards Catholicism and Evangelicals, I decided the burden was on me to know what these people actually are saying rather than simply relying on what I have heard. I have definitely in my past taught things that were not an accurate portrayal of Catholicism and because of watching you guys I have been able to change my nuance and portrayal of Catholicism in many areas. One, I just learned in this video concerning the command on idolatry. Instead of portraying Catholics as outright removing the commandment, it would be more accurate to say we have a different understanding of what idolatry is. Just in case any SDA reads this or even Catholics, it is important to note I am very conservative so I am not of the liberal wing of Adventism that some would see as saying something like this as a compromise. I definitely apologize where I have misrepresented Catholicism in the past and for my brethren that do it now. I regularly teach my local brethren about these various nuanced misunderstandings/misrepresentations. I can still have an issue with the Catholic and Orthodox view of idolatry without portraying them as people who believe idolatry is ok. As a SDA I can see that this former Catholic is definitely lying as Joe put it and I am highly biased against Catholic doctrine. If there is any faith out there that is the opposite of Catholicism it would be Adventism and I would be the perfect candidate to want to try and discredit what Joe has said here but it is often the case that former people of a given faith are often not the best at representing it. This man clearly has a narrative combined with a bad spirit to intentionally misrepresent. I have seen this with many former SDA, and even those of other faiths. I like what Joe said at the end about good dialogue and proper representation on how it can bring us closer in love and truth. Although SDA and Catholicism are very far apart and we can't really get closer to agreeing on truth without entirely abandoning our particular faiths, we can grow to have love for one another if we don't seek to intentionally misrepresent and even further actually try to understand our opponents. This was one of my favorites videos from Joe. Blessings Corey McCain

@@Pacmanflatts23 just for the record I am not part of the organization as I was disfellowshipped in 2011 for going back to the original non- Trinitarian belief of the church. Though I can say many negative things about the conference organization I wouldn't classify it as a cult. As with anything one has to define what they mean by a term. I am not someone who has been "taught", though originally I was, I am someone who knows what I believe for myself and teach it in great detail. If I were to ever leave the SDA faith I would not be able to claim I was taught this or that, I would have to claim I personally got a bunch of things wrong in my own studies and left for a different faith because I have found something better. I have not found that nor do I expect to but I do strive to understand other faiths as it helps me understand my own as well. Blessings Corey

[@CorJenFarm]

@@sumpinhapenin3070 I can't say much concerning your experience and have no reason to doubt it. I would say the people of the church should have been clear from the beginning that proper Sabbath observance is essential and the lack of it could mean that a person just doesn't understand or the person could be rebellious and not saved. Typically it is better to side with mercy and help educate rather than condemn someone as rebellious unless there is very clear reason to do so. Concerning diet in Adventism, it is not supposed to be a test of fellowship and we shouldn't criticize people for their diet but the church should educate people on the subject. Unfortunately today the church has become very liberal on this subject in many cases which actually makes many people happy, in my opinion to no benefit for themselves. This can very from church to church and region to region. Yes we very much oppose once saved always saved and love should be produced as an expression of faith, or in other words our works do matter because they testify to the genuineness of faith. Concerning our views on Catholicism and other protestant churches I am sure there are situations where there is unnecessary bashing of other faiths and there are situations where people are interpreting it as such when its not. It depends on the individual situation. SDA's are not automatically holy because of being in this faith and in fact the majority will not be saved, and this is part of SDA belief, not me criticizing. I think most SDA would acknowledge that there are plenty of problem people among us and unless they repent they will not see the kingdom of God. Blessings Corey

@@Pacmanflatts23 yes the church does consider me apostate, but I also believe my church is in apostasy so ot goes both ways. If a person leaves Catholicism they would believe that person to be apostate as well. It is what it is, if any church believes someone has apostatized, that doesn't make the church evil for believing it, what matters is the truth. So whether my church sees me as an apostate or I see her as apostatizing, or we of opposing faiths see other faiths as apostate, it doesn't mean much. I think people like to get emotional about it when maybe we as individuals need to calm our emotions down. I believe Joe and Trent as well as protestants should see Adventism including me as an apostate faith from their perspective. That doesn't mean I should get emotional about it or that I would go around with no context saying this faith or that faith is apostate. Me claiming some faith is a cult or apostate, means nothing without a context. So what if people from a given faith say that another is apostate. Does it have context behind it or is it just a self exalted statement trying to puff oneself up and agitate another. Thus I don't concern myself with these claims. Blessings Corey

Look what happened to Adam and Eve they committed one lie and they were kicked out of the garden the same for liars will be kicked out of the kingdom of God. The Bible says all liars will have their part in the lake of fire and the wage of sin is death. Since all these two denominations have existed for centuries has committed many lies by taking out true meaning doctrines from the apostolic fathers and adding or replacing with false new doctrines to justify their narrative belief and by reading them out of context and not taking in it's face value will be judge accordingly. All religions who are not true to the words of the inspired words of God in the Bible it is not the church of Jesus Christ but a synagogue of Satan. It will mean nothing to God for you to keep defending your religion if you let men dictate what it says unless your correct your teaching habit by letting God speak to you through the Holy Spirit not by men's authority as if they know better then what Jesus has preached.

Rome Sweet Home by Professor Scott Hahn is an excellent resource. It will teach you the truth about Catholicism.

Let’s all say a prayer for Mike today. We forget that he built an empire on lies before the current Information Age we live in now. If he redacted all of his previous statements, he’d lose his platform in the low Protestant church. Let’s pray he has the courage to rise above bearing false witness and take accountability for the damage he’s done.

[@danielcristancho3524]

It is utter nonsense to believe you have TWO 'THOU SHALT NOTS' in verses 2-6 but ONLY ONE COMMANDMENT. Spare me. Mike is NOT the one being deceptive here.

[@dsmp7]

@@danielcristancho3524 hmm 🤔 I kinda trust the church Christ founded and Saint Augustine/other saints more than some rando on the internet or Mike Gendron but thanks. Also did you even watch the video? “No idols” is a subset of the command against idolatry. A child could figure that out. Meanwhile, being envious of a man’s goods and a man’s wife are two VERY different things, I can assure you. There are 14 “thou shalt” statements within the 10 commandments. Not each of the “thou shalts” makes up one commandment. “Thou shall have no other gods before me” and “thou will not make yourself any graven images” are both under the prohibition against idolatry.

@@dsmp7 ''There are 14 “thou shalt” statements within the 10 commandments.'' Strange, I count eleven. Show me where you see 14?? And the 11th one is within the 2nd commandment that relates to IMAGES, explicitly telling us that it's not about the images themselves but about bowing to them and serving them. Any halfwit can see that. I'm sure you feel you are adequate enough to edit what God has written with His own finger but some of us are a little less delusional. I tend to take it as God has written it. By the way, where are those two 'thou shalt nots' in the Catholic commandments. I would think you should include them since they read like a command.

[@danielcristancho3524]

@@dsmp7 “Thou shall have no other gods before me” and “thou will not make yourself any graven images” are both under the prohibition against idolatry.'' Wrong. ANYTHING CAN BE A GOD, FROM FASHION, TO BEAUTY TO POWER TO MONEY TO A SPOUSE. The Second Commandment IS SPECIFICALLY GEARED TOWARDS THOSE WHO ARE IMAGE WORSHIPERS. I understand you think you are wiser than God and think God has made Himself redundant, but in fact, God has His reasons for wording the 2nd commandment as He has. You have no right to change it. I would caution against it.

This is why you're my favorite. Thank you Joe for being honest and having integrity. I became an immediate fan when watching your LDS videos and seeing how truthful and good-faith you were about their teachings. We need more of this and now I will watch anything you decide to put out and it is always golden. I will soon be purchasing The Early Church was the Catholic Church and can't wait to read it. Coming into the church from atheism with a previous anti-Catholic nondenom upbringing, it has been an adventure for sure. Thank you for all that you do. Shameless Popery remains my household favorite channel. God bless you.

He's full of lies & hate and never knew anything about the Catholic faith. He's also spewing these types of lies & hate on radio station VCY, an evangelical/Baptist TV station who loves to constantly bash Catholics and the Catholic Church.

[@EdmundLauKM]

Thanks for highlighting the terrible LIES peddled by Mike Gendron. I used to believe the guy too, even subscribing to his newsletter. My family and I converted to Catholicism several years ago and, thank God, we can finally see through all of these lies and reject them all.

When my wife and I first converted, her parents and grandparents kept showing us stupid Gendron videos and one question they asked over and over again was, "Why do the people who were actually in it, including people we know personally, talk about how bad Catholicism is? Why don't you listen to them?" My response was always to bring up people that we knew that were raised in the Holiness movement (the denomination they belong to and what my wife and I grew up in), but left, either to join a liberal church or to leave the faith entirely, and I ask them if they think those people are good people to go to if you want to learn about Holiness.

[@sheylamercado9801]

I’m doubting whether Mike is even Christian at all. A true Christian is fearful of the Lord and would not lie like this!

[@Sevenspent]

It's possible he told so many lies so many times that he truly just believes what he is saying 100% truthful. I remember a family believed that one saying about being clean after taking a shower and never once changed out the towel. Or a obese woman's mom told her to drink a diet soda to cancel out the sugar of drinking a soda. It's possible.

[@lukebrasting5108]

He's obviously not a Chriatian. Why would you even think he is? Formal heresy severs one from the Body of Christ. You can't believe what he believes and spread the lies he spreads while still being a Christian.

[@femaleKCRoyalsFan]

The last acceptable prejudice is anti-Catholicism. I can’t remember who said that though.

[@jendoe9436]

I know Trent Horn mentioned that quote in his video about how secular culture tries to suppress the open faith of Catholicism among believers. Think the thumbnail was one of Justice Amy C. Beret when she was told “I see the faith lives in you.” That may be a place to start for that full quote.

[@jendoe9436]

@@femaleKCRoyalsFan people are human, and thus sometimes surprise us in ways we don’t expect. Someone I know actually read a book by Fr. James Martin that was pretty solid on Church teaching, and that person can sometimes be overly nit-picky on some things with the church. Will have to go through my texts to see if I can find that title. Either way, I’m not sure Fr. James Martin is the originator of that quote. Maybe he just uses it a bit more frequently and the algorithm picked up on it. Cause I’m pretty sure it’s been a thing in academia for a number of years now. Guess that’s a fun rabbit hole to follow for a bit if you’re bored today

Back when I was a Protestant, at the Baptist church I attended, both the pastor and the associate pastor were ex-catholics. At least half the congregation were ex-catholics. None of these people knew or understood Catholic doctrine. Or if they did, they were fine with lying about it. In the end, I was disinvited from a "Bible study" at the rectory because I challenged the pastor to prove one of his false claims. Soon there after I came to the horrifying conclusion that perhaps Catholics aren't just "not wrong"; perhaps they are right. I converted, and the general consensus at that church was that i became Catholic because i have a problem with authority. Yep, I didn't accept the authority of the Baptist pastor so I... submitted... to the authority of the Pope and the Magisterium?
