But my dear friend how can say that you love Jesus Christ but you did believes in His words that He build only one Church through His Apostle Simon Peter? Not even to His 11 Apostles but only one church and the successors are the popes right from His Apostle Simon Peter. You must understand that ONLY CHRIST THE SON OF ALMIGHT GOD CAN BUILD HIS CHURCH. But there are thousand of churches build by men they were REJECTS AND PROTEST AGAINST HIS CHURCH. But as Catholics we must stand firm with CHRIST because He is the Head of our Church. He is an Emmanuel which mean GOD WITH US who is presence in the HOLY BLESSED SACRAMENT waiting for all of us sinners to turn to HIM by receiving Him with our humble heart in the form of bread and wine. John 6:42-43-44 - the jews said "is not this Jesus, the Son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say "I have come down from heaven?" Jesus answered them "do not murmur among yourselves. No one can come to Me unless the FATHER who sent Me draws him and I will raise him up at the last day". John 6:47 - Jesus said "truly truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life". John 6:51 - Jesus said "I am the Living bread which came down from heaven, if any one eats of this bread he will live forever and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world IS MY FLESH". John 6:52 - the jews saying "how can this man give us HIS FLESH TO EAT?" John 6:64 - Jesus said "but there are some of you that do not believe. For Jesus knew from the first who those were that not believe and who it was that betray Him". John 6:66 - many of His disciples drew back and no longer went about with Him. John 6:67-68 - Jesus said to His 12 Apostles "do you also wish to go away?". Simon Peter answered "LORD, TO WHOM SHALL WE GO? YOU HAVE THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE". Luke 9:1-2 - Jesus called His 12 Apostles together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and He sent them out to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal. Luke 9:5 - Jesus said to His Apostles "and wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them". Luke 10:16 - jesus said to His Apostles "he who hears you hears Me and He who rejects you rejects Me and He who rejects Me rejects HIM who sent Me". Luke 10:19 - Jesus said to His Apostles "behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall hurt you". Luke 22:31-32 - Our Jesus Christ He prayed for Our Church which He build through His Apostle Simon Peter only "Simon, Simon, behold, satan demanded to have you, that he might sift like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail and when you have turned again strengthen your brethren". Mark 4:11-12 - Jesus said to His Apostles "to you has been given the secret of the Kingdom of God but for those outside everything is in parables; so that they may indeed see but not perceive and may indeed hear but not understand lest they should turn again and be forgiven". Mathew 10:22 - Jesus told to His Apostle "and you will be hated by all for My name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved". Mathew 12:30 - Jesus said "he who is not with Me is against Me and he who does not gather with Me scatters". Mark 13:5-6 - Jesus Christ warned us "take heed that no one leads you astray. Many will come in My name, saying I am he and they will leads many astray". Marke 13-22-23 - Jesus warned us "FALSE CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS WILL ARISE AND SHOW SIGNS AND WONDERS, TO LEAD ASTRAY IF POSSIBLE, THE ELECT. BUT TAKE HEED, I HAVE TOLD YOU ALL THINGS BEFOREHAND".

I was raised as an Evangelical Christian. I moved from Michigan to Colorado to attend a Charismatic Bible College. I was steeped in the teachings of Hagin, Copeland, Wommack, Duplantis, Dollar, and many others of that variety. I moved after 3 years to Kansas City to help launch a church. While I was there I became an atheist. After a couple years I discovered Jordan Peterson who opened my eyes to a more intellectual side of the faith, which I severely lacked in the Evangelical sphere. Peterson pointed me to Dostoevsky, and from Dostoevsky I learned my most important lesson to staying intellectually honest: Steelman the other person's position. Let me give you an example of a strawman argument: Catholics have pictures and statues of Mary and I see them genuflect in front of them, you see, they're worshipping idols and violating God's law, therefore their religion is false and they're serving the whore of babylon. A strawman is summing up an interlocuter's beliefs in a very negative and false way, then setting ablaze the strawman with ease and dancing on the ashes of the argument you constructed. Dostoevsky (and Jordan Peterson) challenged me give the other person's side the strongest possible argument and attempt to dismantle that. This process is so beautifully captured in "The Brothers Karamazov" with the middle brother Ivan. Ivan is the most noble, trustworthy, honest, hardworking, handsome, successful, and likeable character in the book. He's also an atheist. Within the novel, Ivan takes his little brother Alyosha to task for his steadfast belief in God. Ivan can run circles around Alyosha in an argument which culminates in the two greatest chapters ever written - "Rebellion" and "The Grand Inquisitor." In the novel, Dostoevsky put all of his internal doubts about God. All his difficulties. All his struggles. All his warring within himself of the nature of Being, morality, faith and reason into the most likeable character, Ivan. Dostoevsky "steelmanned" the argument against Christianity. He made it as strong as he possibly could. This was eye-opening to me. Jacob's name was changed to Israel which means "those who wrestle with God." There's a powerful idea that those who are closest to God are those who wrestle with Him. What I would recommend to my Protestant friends is this: What is the strongest argument for the Catholic Church, that you don't believe, and why is it wrong? This is far more stimulating and interesting as well. Fight the steelmans of your opponents and not the strawmen. Do this with Atheists as well. Take their objections seriously and spar with that. Don't assume the person you're speaking with is dumb. Also, I'll be joining the Catholic Church this coming Easter. Glory to God!

These verses show that confession of sins was necessary for God’s forgiveness under the gospel of the kingdom. Paul never instructed members of the Church to confess sin for God’s forgiveness. He taught our forgiveness is a present possession (Ephesians 1.7, 4.32; Colossians 1.14, 2.13) not associated with confession! When believers did sin, Paul taught they needed to repent (2 Corinthians 12.21; 2 Timothy 2.25) Paul declared - For the law of the spirit of life in Christ set me free from the law of sin and death.

Lately I've been using Romans 2 as a defense against sola fide. Most protestants that interact with the idea just say I don't understand romans 2... read romans 4. I'll ask them to explain. What he meant 2 chapters earlier if their understanding of 4 is right. So far crickets.... they can't explain it. For he will repay according to each one’s deeds: 7 to those who by patiently doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; 8 while for those who are self-seeking and who obey not the truth but wickedness, there will be wrath and fury. 9 The lack of nuisance when it comes to the term works is where protestants fall apart. Paul talks about works of the flesh, works of God, works of the law, and good works done in love. I bet if a protestant tried to figure out which is which they could pretty easily. To assume that the word 'works' covers all 3 or 4 of these definitions. Causes scripture to contradict itself because works of the law get you nowhere with salvation but good works are essential. If you can't tell, listen to the words of christ. For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink. 43 I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’ Sounds like this person didn't have the good works to back up their claim.

There is not one Bible verse that outlaws slavery. You have Sola Scriptura, so everything has to come from the Bible. Therefore, you reject the belief that slavery is evil and should be outlawed. In fact, you have slaves that you are illegally hiding from the law, which freed them. And if you do not have slaves, you have no basis in being unable to get one. That is how slander works.

It’s tiring and exhausting because His truth and His Church are written in His Holy Word, and even the early Church fathers further corroborate this. I never understood why Protestants rely on the wisdom of men who are 1900 years far removed instead of reading the historical accounts of those who walked with His Apostles, and what they had to say. Do they seriously deny Peter? I can only pray they carefully study the Bible (all 73 books) to answer their assumptions instead of relying on the eisegesis of fallible men of today.

You can’t put a limit on Christ. You however have a limit. To say your faith will never waver in Christ is impossible. We are fallible beings. There’s a reason why this term exists - Christ-like. If Christ is the goal. We are trying to reach him. We will never reach him in the sense that we will never be Christ but at least we can be like him. He is they Way to him. Imagine if we are the conceptual exponential. We will always go towards zero (Christ) but will never reach it in this life. If e is us, Christ is zero (y or x) while the other way is the lack of Christ. Obviously we are not the mathematical exponential where e is a constant direction trying to reach 0. Hopefully this helps

Christ is God incarnate. He lived to liberate us from sin and simultaneously TAUGHT us how to live perfectly, that is, exactly as He did, as a human being. We are indeed expected to reach perfection in this life and hence perform better than Jesus in terms of works considering His short life (33 years), as what Jesus Himself said in the gospel of John, “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.” It is true that we are imperfect beings, but it doesn’t mean that perfection is impossible, for it is indeed possible through God’s aid, in the form of GRACE. As written, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” This perfection is evident in the lives of the saints. Therefore, we, as followers of Christ, are all expected to be saints.

At the same time they're saying that it's faith that they *actively* hold that matters exclusively... as in, it's an action (faith) they use to save themselves. They're also attacking the actions of others. Their argument is self-defeating.

"Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions, occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I (St. Paul) WARN YOU, AS I WARNED YOU BEFORE, THAT THOSE WHO DO SUCH THINGS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD." Galatians 5: 19-21, RV. Notice that Paul, writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, says that "Christians" who do these things (even if baptized) will forfeit the grace they have received unless they repent. The apostle specifically taught that grace "can" be lost without repentance and reconciliation with Christ. Should we trust the Holy Spirit or anti Catholic Protestants who proclaim "once saved always saved" which amounts to a "license to sin." I think a thoughtful person can easily answer this question! 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

@@salvadorhenriquez4091 the Church has established impediments that block the validity of marriages attempted by those who have been ordained.

He cannot be validly married after ordination unless he receives a dispensation from the Holy See (CIC 1078 §2, 1).

Another way we can understand Mary as Mother of God is this... Jesus is God. Jesus is a Divine Person. He is not, was not, nor ever will be a human person. He is a Divine Person, Who took on a human nature. Therefore Jesus is a Divine Person (not a human person), Who has both a Divine and human nature. Mary, like all mothers, gave birth to a Person. The Person Whom she birthed was indeed the Second Person of the Most Blessed Trinity, Who is God in flesh. God took on a human nature in her womb. God, the Word, was made flesh. So, rightfully, she is the Mother of God the Son, the second PERSON of the Most Blessed Trinity. God became man not the other way around.

Deep theology here. Christ needed to be conceived and born free of sin to avoid the requirements of the Garden. This is best reflected in Numbers 19, the sacrifice of the red heifer. It needed to never have been under the yoke - meaning never labored like Adam and never under the work of the law. This meant Mary had to be full of grace.

@mayannsteinbeisser522811 ай бұрын
The Catholic Church teaches for a sin to be considered mortal (it cuts off the sinner's relationship with God, putting his soul in danger of hell unless he repents), 3 things must occur. Firstly, the offense is of grave/serious nature such as murder, adultery, fornication, grand theft, etc. Secondly, the sinner knows it is serious. Thirdly, he does it anyway of his own free will. If any one of the 3 elements is missing, he isn't guilty of committing mortal sin. So when you asked whether breaking the greatest commandment is a mortal sin, I'm wondering what specifically are you referring to?

All the nations will be assembled before him and he will separate men one from another as the shepherd separates sheep from goats. He will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left. Then the King will say to those on his right hand, Come, you whom my Father has blessed, take for your heritage the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you made me welcome; naked and you clothed me, sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to see me. Then the virtuous will say to him in reply, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you; or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and make you welcome; naked and clothe you; sick or in prison and go to see you?0 And the King will answer, I tell you solemnly, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me. Next he will say to those on his left hand, Go away from me, with your curse upon you, to the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you never gave me food; I was thirsty and you never gave me anything to drink; I was a stranger and you never made me welcome, naked and you never clothed me, sick and in prison and you never visited me. Then it will be their turn to ask, Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty, a stranger or naked, sick or in prison, and did not come to your help? Then he will answer, I tell you solemnly, in so far as you neglected to do this to one of the least of these, you neglected to do it to me. And they will go away to eternal punishment, and the virtuous to eternal life.’
