@Eucharist Angel still butt-hurt are u?

[@matthewbateman6487]

​@Eucharist Angel Hi, thanks for your concern. I don't want to have a huge back-and-forth, but I want to share some things I learned, in response to some things you said.. 1) - You said the office of the pope is unbiblical. It's true the English word pope is not in the Bible. A similar case is made by Jehovah's Witnesses about the Trinity. Although the word Trinity is not in the Bible, it is a biblical concept. I believe the same can be said about the office of pope, without the word 'pope'. a-Bishop is a biblical office. b-The pope is the bishop of Rome. c-Peter has always been historically understood to be the first bishop of Rome. d-The Bishops of Rome (whether from the Eastern, or Western lens of history) were always understood to have a historical primacy/precedence among the word's bishops, just as Peter is shown a form of primacy in various places in the Bible. e-Bishops of Rome, ie popes, have always been historically understood to be the successors of the apostles, and thus the popes would be the successor of saint Peter. We do not worship the pope, and the pope is a sinner who confesses his sins just like you and me. 2) - You say a sacerdotal priesthood is not mentioned.. I find your point of view unbiblical, actually. a- "Obey those who have the rule over you and submit yourselves, for they keep watch over your souls as ones who must give an account, that they may do it with joy and not with grief, for that is unprofitable for you." (Hebrews 13:17) b- Jesus said to the apostles, "If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” (John 20:23) c- Jesus said to the apostles, "He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.” (Luke 10:16) d- The apostles (and as has always been historically understood, their successors, ie the bishops) operated in the Person of Christ (Latin, In Persona Christ) to forgive sins. Paul wrote "To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ" (2nd Corinthians 2:10). e- Finally, James writes, "My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment." This is a subtle to point to make, though implicit in James' statement is that there are those with authority to teach in the Church, and those without. Not to mention that we derive our English "priest" from the Germanic word for 'presbyter' (go to google translate and translate 'priest' into German - then translate 'presbyter' into German. You will find they are the same word. And 'presbyter' is definitely a biblical office, along with bishop and deacon. 3) - About subordinating oneself to the pope, again we do not worship the pope, and grovel at his feet. There are/were faithful Christians, then and now, (beginning with Paul) who have had the boldness to stand up the pope when they were not exercising their office in a godly way (again, infallibility is not impeccability, but I don't want to start a whole separate conversation). The point of 'submitting to the pope' is submitting to what Christ gave us as a visible form of authority until He comes again. A non-Christian may say to you, >>"Are you going to submit to some words on a page?" But if you believe these words are divinely preserved by God, then it's a different discussion. Similarly, submitting to pastor Bob on his own authority is heinous, yes -- but if Peter and his successors received a special grace from God to lead and guide the Church in truth, keeping it free from the stain of error in it's official teachings - - - -Matthew 16:18 (compare with Isaiah 22:21-23) -Luke 22:31-32 -John 21:15-17 -1st Timothy 5:17 -1st Timothy 3:15 - - - then again, submitting to this authority is a different discussion. So while the several *tens of thousands* of Protestant denominations continue to fall by the wayside in terms of doctrines like: -- -contraception -divorce -remarriage -abortion -gay marriage -female clergy -gay clergy -the doctrine of hell -the Virgin Birth -The Infallibility of Scripture -The Infallibility of Christ's Nature/Character/Teachings -The bodily Resurrection of Christ -The Bodily Resurrection at the end of days -The exclusivity of salvation in Christ -The literal belief in a literal God (no, this is not a joke - some Christian denominations do not mandate that their flocks actually believe that God is real, and teach ambiguously on God's actual existence from the pulpit.) -- and can't seem to agree on a single doctrine other than that a), Rome is wrong, and b), 66 out of the 73 books that Rome gave them are right, I will try my best to remain faithful to the One, Holy, Universal (which is to say, Catholic) and apostolic Church which Christ founded. God bless you, and may Christ have mercy on both our souls +

I'm pro ecumenical union. Many of the problems have been addressed. I'm trying to square away things like praying for the dead and to saints. I'm on the side of Catholicism in almost every other area.

[@danvankouwenberg7234]

I find it very comforting to study the Saints but do not ask them for things regularly. It is not a sin to not pray to the saints, but it is a sin to not pray. If you're uncomfortable with a Hail Mary, maybe try the St Joseph litany or St Michael prayer in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Or tune into catholic radio and study the saint of the day if one sounds interesting. You could also look up the saint of your birthday or patron saint of your profession. They are models, not deities and their lives each have something to teach us here on earth. The saints and us sinners dead and alive are all one. Amen.

Thank you Trent,well done

I think that the particular SDA channel is low-hanging fruit.

[@ifreddycoco]

@YAJUN YUAN Your SDA apologist Cotto ran away from debating Sam Shamoun, tell him to man up and debate Sam.

[@ifreddycoco]

@YAJUN YUAN Cottlo is your official SDA representative. I am showing you that the SDA's own official rep ran away from a debate/discussion, so don't be a hypocrite and to be so arrogant to accuse the catholics. So what if Sam is not a Catholic? Point is, I am pointing out your hypocrisy and arrogance.

Like any accusation of impropriety, corruption, bias or scandal, the accuser only has to insinuate wrong doing and his fan club will salivate without anything resembling proof. Moreover, they see it as a confirmation of their own beliefs which apparently "win" by default,

The Mark of the Beast is 666? You know where I find 666 in the Bible? John 6:66 “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Something to think about?

[@phoult37]

And they left because they didn't like Jesus' teaching on the Eucharist...really interesting

[@jendoe9436]

As Trent mentioned in a previous video, the Bible numberings weren’t there in the beginning and became used for convenience. However, I do find the numbering of this verse highly ironic as well, so kudos! 🤔🤣

[@cab6273]

@@jendoe9436 Exactly. Considering the chapter/verse numbering system came so much later, what are the odds that the only chapter/verse 6:66 in the Gospels deals with followers turning away from Jesus over the Eucharist?

[@davidm5662]

How about looking at Jews for Judaism videos on KZbin and rebut some of their videos like Isaiah 53 or about Paul. Thanks.

[@joelancon7231]

Trent could you respond to Collin Michael? There is not enough apologetic info readily available to combat Christian perfectionism aside from combating the essential Protestant doctrine like Sola Scriptura. I myself found out that his teachings were false after investigating everything myself, but for the average there is no Google search that quickly dismantles the argument like you and How 2 be Christian do, which would be more important for the average Catholic.

The Catholic Church is the TRUE Church FOUNDED by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Because it is the ONLY Church to PRODUCE many HOLY, PIOUS people throughout the centuries mainly the Saints. NO PROTESTant DEFORMER can MATCH the HOLINESS of Saint Padre Pio.

[@clivejames5058]

As an Englishman, Point 8 was especially hurtful as Catholics were marginalised, persecuted and often killed from the Reformation onwards for well over 300 years. Monasteries and convents were decimated, Catholics couldn't own land or property, couldn't apply for many jobs including those in Parliament, even our reigning Monarch was forbidden, by an Act of Parliament, to marry a Catholic. We have so many old houses with Priest Holes in them, still today and records of so many priests caught and put to death. It deeply saddens me that people like SDAs don't bother to research this side of history.

[@everlightministries]

I recently learned of a fancy legal term: inapposite. You claimed that Dustin contradicted himself by first saying the antichrist/false christ rises out of the waters, which can be interpreted "out of the masses of people" (a highly populated area), but later mentions the Vatican is "one of the smallest countries." These two statements are not contradictions, they are inapposite. ANSWER: A small country may exist in a highly populated area.

[@crekow]

Trent, you're being way too generous to that idiot. That last bit of convoluted numerology (37:58) is the silliest thing I've even seen. I have often said that having a good grasp of history the best antidote to these Protestant conspiracy theories.

Well, maybe it exists starting at the time the Papacy began to talk about the "Donation of Constantine?"

[@reymarzongalletesbautista6941]

The one who will deny Jesus as the Christ is the one who will deny that he or she is not a sinner but sinless and capable of being the Christ or the Saviour for many people. In short, "the one who says, "I am the one who saves and not God" by the means of one's own actions for we all know that actions speak louder than words. Anyone who uses the Authority of God illegally in accordance to His laws given to His appointees and being passed down through generations and being preserved by the one understanding which is of God and not of men is the Anti-Christ. Who dares to say that they are of God by just reading and hearing His words without actually obeying it? Remember, to believe is to serve, you are justify by the works of Christ being done through you as you put your faith through those works for these works are truly the living words of God in flesh. Faith without works is dead like a body without spirit is dead. Every word Christ speaks is spirit and your faith to those words are like an empty vessel that is being filled up by His spirit. It is like a trunk of a tree that connects the roots below and the leaves above or like a seed that will never grow unless it is at the right place with right caretakers. Does anyone do not know that a body without blood is dead, so too your faith without water is dead. Unless one is born of water and spirit, no one can enter into the kingdom of God. Humble yourselves like little children who confess their sins to their fathers who are one with the Father in heaven and profess that there is only one LORD or one Legacy Overcoming Ravaging Death which saves us all whom we know as Christ Jesus, Son of the Virgin Mary who is truly the Mother of God if her son is truly the God that saves.

It helps a cult like the Adventists when you can change the words of Scripture at a whim to support your belief. I think the Apostle John would have something to say about that!

Another problem is when we make Europe, specifically Rome as the "Well Populated Area" there were Centers of the Eastern North American and Asian world that were "Well Populated" at least as well populated as Rome, which had a population that was not quite as developed as The Han Empire in China, India, and the Tamil in southern India, had a population of 65-75 Million. Limiting all history to Europe is another false and misleading ruse used by many.

[@carmenmrodriguez6519]

I’m Catholic and love my faith. It saddens me that so many of our Protestant brothers and sisters have no idea of what we actually believe . Many times their arguments are not only incorrect, but the complete opposite of what our Church teaches. I do have faith that one day we’ll be one like Jesus wanted us to be.

SDAs never miss a opportunity to rip Catholicism to shreds. That is a major plank in their brand of theology.

[@tommyhuskey4628]

The Antichrist will appear as a man who claims to be God. He will be powerful and he will control the entire world. The idea of a worldly ruler who opposes God and persecutes his followers is first found in the book of Daniel. He will "speak great words against the most High and wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws" (Daniel 7:25).

[@sirena9167]

Isn’t forgiveness of sins God’s alone? Can only the Father and the Son and the Holy Sprit forgive sins? If the answer is yes, then technically they have denied Christ by claiming the priests can forgive sins. If anyone has met someone who constantly lies, simply because they have not said so but their actions speak loudly.
