@@Simpatico84 trying to explain the origins of the Sacred Scriptures to Bible Only Believers are often fruitless!

@@Simpatico84 Everything the church teaches is definitely not "based on Jesus". That is almost the opposite of the truth, my friend. But first and foremost, the real church are all who believe on Christ for their salvation. The catholic "church" is but another cult amongst all these false tradition- and law-worshipping "churches". If everything the "church" teaches would be based on Jesus, how come it has taught different, opposing things and ideas throughout the centuries? Jesus never changed the truth of God's character. There are so many false teachings within the RCC it is ridiculous to state otherwise!

If you’re married to someone, you do right by them…. Not because you’re married to them…. But because you LOVE ❤️ them. We are the bride of Christ… we keep the things he commands us out of the Love of God that Jesus has shed abroad in our heart. I’m other words, Jesus was saying it’s a RESULT of Love that one is keeping the commandments. Not the other way around. Jesus was stating a fact of “The WAY”

@@TruthinLove33 Yes and we keep to his church .... 14 Scripture verses that show Catholic Eucharist is the truth ................. Mark 14:22-24 While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.” And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. Luke 13:26 Verse Concepts Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’; Luke 22:19-20 And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. John 6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst. John 6:51 Verse Concepts I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” John 6:53-57 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. John 13:1-4 Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, Acts 2:42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:46-47 Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. Acts 20:7 Verse Concepts On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight. 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread. 1 Corinthians 10:21-22 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we? 1 Corinthians 11:20-34 Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper, for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk. What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.

@@1234poppycatI’m sorry, but those verses don’t PROVE the Eucharist. They symbolize communion. Jesus wasn’t dead at the first supper so clearly, the bread and cup were metaphors of his flesh and blood. God strictly forbids cannibalism. You can’t marry scriptures to fit into what you want them to be. This is what the Catholic Church did to these scriptures. Jesus used metaphors for Himself constantly. There is absolutely no reason to believe He would break His own commandments for the contrary. You have to cross reference to read scripture correctly, and remember what God forbids before you decide that it’s ok. This is very dangerous theology.

@@kellyanne7225 so the truth is that your interpretation of the words of Jesus are a much are much watered down and not the full truth. Why do you think that many of his followers left him after saying this is intolerable language??? In John. 6. Why was this practised for 2000 years continuously??

@@1234poppycat Watered down? How about not there? You can’t insert traditions and rituals into the scriptures. There is NO Eucharist in the Bible. No scripture supports this. Communion, yes. But the Eucharist is completely pagan! Cannibalism? Hocus Pocus? Christ being sacrificed again and again? Where is scripture do find that this is acceptable? Seriously? I’ve read these verses. I’m very familiar with them. Not a single word eluded to any of this. Instead, scripture forbids this. Oh, but never mind that. Scripture only works for Catholics when they believe in the man made, pagan insertions have to go with it. Funny, God claimed His word, and Christ’s death on the cross was sufficient. I’m curious, when did His followers “leave Him”? And just because something is practiced for 2000 years absolutely does not mean it’s correct. Pagan practices have been around and practiced far longer than that. That’s a strawman argument.

You can't have God's grace if you stubbornly cling to heresy though. Heresy is a mortal sin that will lead you to Hell. God is truth and He gave us the truth in the Faith He left us in the apostolic Church. There is no other. Heresy is a lie. It's a spiritual crime, and so it may not be as apparent as other gross sins people commit. If you understand how people can be deceived into error like this and thus risk their salvation, then you already grasp this point. You need to do some serious studying and praying on this. Most likely you say "former Catholic" because you never really understood the Faith. In that case, having been baptized/confirmed Catholic, you also have the plain moral obligation to educate yourself properly before deciding to abandon Christ in favor of these newly invented false religions.

@@MillionthUsername It must really upset you that the CC doesnt burn heretics at the stake anymore.

the video is just the failed claims doing another round. Full of self congratulation. Gendron goes for the weak Catholics who do not know their faith .... Catholics already glorify the Lord in the 7 sacraments directly to God .. Gendron and his hate preachers deceive by lies about what Catholics believe and do THE CATHOLIC MASS has 2 main parts 1) The WORD which is three scripture readings and a Homily explanation of the Word and 2) The Eucharist which is what Christ told us to do 3 times in John 6 and in 13 other scripture !!.. At 4 minutes 20 he claimed he had never opened the bible when a Catholic -- well 97% of the Catholic Mass which he should have attended weekly at least is directly from the bible - reading and prayers ... In the three year cycle Catholics get through the bible Genesis to Revelation !! Mr Gendron is just trying to build up his own empire in opposition to Christ - he has had his reward in $$$

​@@1234poppycat I feel sorry for you. You don't know what it's like to live under grace, because you don't understand grace. We owe a debt to our Creator for our sinful nature. Why did Jesus willingly give His life on the cross? Because according to Romans 3:10-12, "As it is written, there is none righteous, not even one; there is none who understands, there is none who seeks for God; all have turned aside, together they have become useless; there is none who does good, there is not even one." What did Jesus mean when He said, "It is finished?" Why was the veil at the Holy of holies torn in two in the Temple? Finally, why is it in catholicism that the priests think they're supposed to sacrifice and crucify Jesus over and over and over again? Don't they believe that Jesus rose from the grave and lives forever? Do you?

All Catholics are free to pray direct to God. Of course you are. You are encouraged to go to confession once a year only but even that is not absolute except if you have committed a mortal sin (which the Bible tells us can lead to death in 1 John 5:17) which would be something like adultery, murder etc.

An unbaptized baby would not go to Purgatory since they have no personal sin. As far as we can say from divine revelation and reason, unbaptized babies go to Limbo, where they do not receive the vision of God as do the redeemed, but they are not punished either since they have no personal sin. Otherwise, we just don't know of God's plan for them. Who said that your mother was guilty for your sister dying? That doesn't make any sense. The Church doesn't say that. There is no requirement that you have to like statues. Statues are religious art, and that art is supposed to lift your heart and mind to God. Sometimes the artists fail, and sometimes there are people who do not like art, but none of that is an excuse to separate yourself from the truth.

@@MillionthUsername Where in the Bible does it say anything about purgatory or limbo? Since these are not addressed in the Bible, they do not exist. They are a lie from the pit!!!

Some Catholics are saved. You can call yourself a Jesus believer. I was Baptist and baptized but just call myself a Jesus follower now. The denomination does not save us. Only Jesus can save us

Why did you feel the need to leave the Catholic faith?

Stick to Jesus, not a denomination. A denomination cannot save you. Roman Catholicism is so wrong about so many things. No denomination has everything right but some are more right than others. Jesus plus NOTHING saves you.

Gendron is wrong in his interpretation. You can use the mass as a celebration and a remembrance of what Jesus did for us on the cross. There is no sin to do that. Mike is made up his own gospel and that is incorrect. How people praise the Lord and pray to the Lord is not going to erase their salvation. Mike indicates it does erase salvation. That is so far from the truth. The gospel is flexible as well as in errant but you can do many different praises and worships to the Lord thy God and Jesus Christ and none of them will ever send you to hell. That is a laughing matter. Mike was a Catholic for 38 years and somehow he missed the queue so I think he's a good man but he is not an accurate pastor our preacher or evangelist he is not expository in his way of presenting the gospel. I don't think it is sinful of him it is just a different interpretation and I think it's wrong but he likes it so I won't say anything bad about him He's not sinning I know that. But the Catholic church is not sin not sin. That's why there are 5 billion Catholics it is a respected religion. In Christ our Lord amen

@@ggturner13 Mike is a sinner ( he'ld be the first to admit it!).. I too am a sinner, but redeemed by God's Grace...we are all sinners, that's biblical. I agree that there are different ways to praise our Lord, but I disagree with you on how to pray to God...the Bible tells us that the only way is through Jesus Christ...NOT Mary and NOT praying to the Saints! I find Mike straight down the line with his teaching and the fact that there are 5 billion Catholics does not indicate the true way.....in fact the true way is a narrow road and not determined by how many adherents there are. For the short time I have read Mike, he has impressed me with his knowledge of the scriptures and of his love especially for Catholics.....and from what I see, it is a case of loving the sinner but hating the sin! Catholics per se are sinners like the rest of us, but Roman Catholicism is a way to emprison a soul and not set them free. I have no personal axe to grind with Catholics....we are all loved by God, but there are those that will enslave you if you don't watch out! You may find listening to Messianic Jews a help...I can recommend "One for Israel"...their knowledge of the Hebrew scriptures , finding Jesus in the Hebrew Bible ( what we call the OT ) can be a real eye opener.

It's very sad that many Catholics fall for this guy who never really knew his faith. Mike Gendren will never debate an informed Catholic who would easily refute his assertions. For instance he says the church teaches faith plus works. I challenge him to show anywhere in the catechism of the catholic church which teaches that??

@@henrybayard6574 Do Roman Catholics need to do Sacraments to be saved? (Religious Works). Do they need to do anything beyond being sorrowful for sin, turning away from sin and to God, and putting their faith in Jesus Christ alone for Salvation? (Change of heart & mind to have faith) Do they give glory to Mary and Saints through prayer, hope, kneeling etc? That's sin. The religion is teaching sin to be a "good religious person." Don't tell me praying for my friends and family who are alive is the same as praying to ancestors or ancestor worship. RCC is not the only religious group teaching ancestor glorification and worship. RCC likes to think they are unique but they much closer to non-christian religions than Bible Believing Christians.

So, 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, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?

@@sherbert1110 @printsbyanne is the Black Sheep so to speak of the Family. His prayer for his family to give up religion is his way of having the world revolve around him.

Look at the lives of the Saints. For us Catholics it is the Science of the Saints. We can learn to love everything about Heaven by studying their lives. You need look no further than St. Teresa of Lisieux. From the beginning of her earthly life she was taught to love God. So many Catholics raise their children to love The Blessed Trinity, The Blessed Mother, Saint Joseph, and The Saints. We are taught from a very small age to love our Guardian Angel. Your experience is different from mine. Did you ever read stories from Treasure Chest? My parents bought the entire set for me and my siblings. My mother read the life of Saint Teresa from Treasure Chest to us well before we attended school. I still remember Whoopsy the Angel. They teach love of all things in Heaven. I bought the same set for my family. Your decision to leave the church is yours. Maybe you will like the Catholic Church more as Popes under the second vatican counsel work to make it protestant. This pope francis is a heretic. For Catholics trying to hold to the traditions before vatican II, the path is narrow but holy. I love being Catholic. Today is the Feast of Saint Joseph. He means so much to me. He represents manly Catholic strength. Have you ever watched Song of Bernadette with Jennifer Jones. It is on this KZfaq free. If you love God and want to see a Catholic example of Love of God and the Blessed Mother, see it. Other Catholic movies are available. The older ones are better. These anti Catholic people have a negative reaction to good works. See if you agree with them after you see an older Catholic Movie about a Saint. May you make it to Heaven, Stephen Bascio. You may be Italian. If you are, some terrific Saints are from Italy. if you are French, the same applies. I hope you make it to Heaven! Nothing on earth comes close to it.

@@sherbert1110 this answers whether you know what you are talking about / understand biblical salvation: How do you get to Heaven?

I have been a Christian for the majority of my life. I worship just as the Christians worshipped in 33 AD, I read the Bible and worship in Κoinè Δiálektos/Koine Greek. I believe with all my heart that the Bible as originally inspired I.e., Koine Greek is infallible! In saying this I do have issues with Roman Catholicism as well as Post-Reformation Western Christianity’s understanding of the Bible! As a lifelong student of Early Christian history, I am perplexed about the reason modern Christianity is so different from First Century Christianity. As a speaker of Koine/ Modern Greek, I can attest to the fact that the saying lost in translation is a real phenomenon! Roman Catholicism and Western Christianity have done a disservice to the Faith Christ gave to his Apostles to preach unto the world. I am saddened when I hear people state the “Bible says the following” when in reality the Bible is being used to support a theological position. I often hear staunch supporters of the Bible say they believe every word in the Bible yet their doctrines are nowhere to be found in the Bible. For the Roman Catholics purgatory and for the Post Reformation believers “a personal relationship with Jesus". For example, traditions are mentioned in the Bible, but in all honesty, the translation is lacking when compared to the God-inspired Greek word for tradition “Παραδόσεις”. Speaking of Παραδόσεις that very word in Greek tells us that Sola Scripture/Bible Only was a foreign concept to Early Christians. The Apostle Paul revealed that there is more than just the Bible in Christianity, ῾Διὰ λόγου εἴτε δι’ ἐπιστολῆς ἡμῶν῾, 2 Thes 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the TRADITIONS which ye have been taught, whether by WORD “, or our EPISTLE. Please show me where I can find in the Bible that the Bible only is the way to Go. As Eastern Christians, we have preserved the Bible and its original language for 2,000 years as well as the God-inspired Traditions that The Apostles gave us. Translation issue is why the Roman Catholics have a false doctrine called Purgatory as well as Protestants ignore the instructions of Jesus about the importance of Communion. I pray my insight would stir up the viewers of this video to seek out false doctrines that were established in Roman Catholicism as well as Post Reformation Groups. Here is a fact, it is possible for every miracle and teaching of Jesus to be placed in one book, thus we have supplements [ Traditions originally called Παραδόσεις ], thankfully Eastern Christians have kept the totality of the faith, not bits and pieces! John 21:25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if they should be written to everyone, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

Wholly and completely. God alone saves me, by grace alone and by faith alone. Through God all good is done. We can’t grasp salvation in our hands by ourselves or works. God’s grace leads me to him and guides my life. Faith working through love is what saves me. Faith without works is dead. When you follow Christ’s commands and love him and those around you that is when you are truly saved, working through love. I am a convert to Catholicism who was misled by my pope. I was my own pope, interpreting scriptures and choosing teachings I agreed with. When converting to Catholicism I disagreed with many teachings, however; the authority of the Church was abundantly made clear in history and scripture. When I disagreed with doctrine it was an opportunity to grow in faith as I learned what the Church taught.

There's no reliable evidence to connect Ignatius directly with any of the apostles. So, as you say, this is likely a case of "tradition based on forgery."" ---------

As a practicing Catholic who knows the bible and Catholicism this falls apart when you listen to him explain what Catholicism is. In Catholicism ALL glory is to God He says when you pray to Mary you are putting Mary before God. That is untrue. All Catholic prayer is ultimately to God. So in the prayer to Our Lady the "Hail Mary" The second half says ""Holy Mary Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the end of our death, Amen " If he was ever a practicing Catholic he would know that Mary's role is to guide us to Jesus & all seven sacraments are to/ from God. At 9 minutes when asked about the 2000 year Catholic Church vs the 500 year 30 000 protestant churches mr Gendron claims there was a none Catholic church alongside the Catholic Church for 2000 years then goes on to name call the Catholic Church He of course provides no evidence for his supposed protestant church !! Timothy 4:1 says people will depart from the true faith ..... " So Mr Gendron unable to find a link beyond 500 years must conclude his man made churches have departed from the truth !!

Very well said Isobel! The LORD bless you and keep you. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing such as this man Aja Deacon. The Roman Catholic cult is nothing but a mother wolf 🐺 that has clawed lost sheep in the clutches of demonic deception and satanic lies. I love what the Bible says in psalms 119:105 ~Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.~ That is sufficient for me to guide me by the the Holy Spirit into all TRUTH: JESUS CHRIST!

Amen, this guy has no clue what he’s talking about.

Catholics who became Protestant or only Catholic in name. I knew absolutely nothing about the Catholic Church orange teachings and they probably if they heard them never believe them. However since they were so bad Christians and now belong to a church that has made them it’s a good questions that’s a good thing because they are closer to God now than they ever were. As I said they were Catholic in name only and not in practice. I was raised a Catholic and I was raised with the Bible. It was a part of my religious education. You were probably too cheap to buy a Bible and to read it. In my life as a Catholic I have read the Bible from cover to cover over 40 times how many times have you read it.

@@danielswartz6818 I’m sorry, but it’s difficult to understand your comment due to poor grammar and spelling.:/

The doors of the Catholic Church swing both ways. Nobody is forced to stay. It's not possible to debunk Catholicism unless you lie, like Mike Glenderon. He can only lure ill-informed souls away from Catholicism. He could never snatch a knowledgeable Catholic.

Nobody is complicating anything. Jesus commissioned the Church to teach the nations ALL that He commanded. If you take a close look at it, you will see that it is the heretics who take away from the gospel and try to pass this off as simplicity or whatever. Heretics removed books from the Bible and dropped many key Christian doctrines in favor of newly invented ones. So yes, there is less content because they chopped off whatever didn't suit their tastes as now religion had become a "personal" and subjective thing.

That "true gospel" was written by Catholics. If you don't get Catholicism out of the bible you are misreading it.

❤ Lord bless Btw, the demonic system of doubting the Bible sprang from protestantism and then spread into Catholicism. So the blame is on our side (Protestant side). However, the real evils of the Catholic system are their worship of the saints and the elevation of Mary as a demigod and their peddling the gospel through indulgence and these sort of things.

The first part of Genesis (for adults) is not a physics chapter explaining the creation of the World but the earliest of believers saying "Why are we here?" "What is the point of our existence?" and obeying GOD !! The video is just the failed claims doing another round. Full of self congratulation. Gendron goes for the weak Catholics who do not know their faith .... Catholics already glorify the Lord in the 7 sacraments directly to God .. Gendron and his hate preachers deceive by lies about what Catholics believe and do THE CATHOLIC MASS has 2 main parts 1) The WORD which is three scripture readings and a Homily explanation of the Word and 2) The Eucharist which is what Christ told us to do 3 times in John 6 and in 13 other scripture !!.. At 4 minutes 20 he claimed he had never opened the bible when a Catholic -- well 97% of the Catholic Mass which he should have attended weekly at least is directly from the bible - reading and prayers ... In the three year cycle Catholics get through the bible Genesis to Revelation !! Mr Gendron is just trying to build up his own empire in opposition to Christ - he has had his reward in $$$

What the brother told you is against Church teaching. Genesis is written as an historical narrative and the literal sense must be preserved. Do you want to take back what you said now? Recent popes have been weak on refuting the claims of evolution, but they have not endorsed it, nor claimed that Genesis should not be read or believed. Pope Piux XII, in Humani Generis (1950, I think), allowed for discussion by experts in the field restricted to the possibility of pre-existent living matter before Adam - I don't think he should have said this - but with the caveat that Adam and Eve are our first parents, that all men descend from them, that the soul is immediately created by God, etc. He condemned "polygenism," which would be to say that we all came from a group of the first humans and not Adam and Eve. The allowing for discussion by experts was because then as well as now the supposed scientific community insisted it had clear evidence of evolution. The Pope only allowed for discussion on that one point and was preserving Christian doctrine by the rest of what he said in that context. You also say that the Faith delivered to the Church by Jesus Christ Himself is "demonic." Doesn't that mean that you are blaspheming the Holy Spirit? "Fervent prayers for God to open their eyes to the truth." What 'truth' is that? Is there another 'truth' other than what Jesus gave to the Church?

@@MillionthUsername What I have realised is that it takes an intervention by God Himself for deluded people to be saved. I read an account of a believer who was burnt to death on the stake by the Roman Catholic church. In the story recorded in John Foxe's Book of Martyrs, the victim cited Scripture to defend his claims that salvation is by faith in Christ alone. The Catholic inquisitors replied that the Pope is the head of the church and that his word is superior to Scripture. They went ahead and killed the innocent man. No intellectual discourse or citing of Scriptures can open the eyes of people that are under demonic influence. We need to pray for God to open their eyes.

YOU CAN’T BE SAVED ANY OTHER WAY

@@davidortega357 Examined: Jesus intended his church to built upon scripture, not Peter or oral traditions. With the context of scripture reading: "Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other." [1 Corinthians 4:6] 1.) The larger context of 1 Corinthians 4:6 is in a section of 1 Corinthians we call, "preacheritus" (Chapters 1-4.) The church was beginning to follow men rather than scripture. Of course Roman Catholics today say, "I am of Peter" ... the pope." - This directly violates what Paul said here. 2.) These four chapters are a contextual unit - Connecting Matthew 16:18, 1 Corinthians 1:10-13, 1 Corinthians 3:5-17, and 1 Corinthians 4:6. 3.) "upon this rock I will build My church" Matthew 16:18 + "as gardeners and builders... each man must be careful how he builds on it." [1 Corinthians 3:10] "I used the gardener and builder figures to that you learn not to exceed what is written" [1 Corinthians 4:6] 4.) Paul did not say, "The things are to teach you not to exceed my oral teachings." Instead the emphasis is on showing the supremacy of scripture over oral tradition. What makes this even more powerful, is the fact that in 54 AD, only a few of the New Testament books were written, yet the church was still warned to abide within the scripture she had. 5.) In the time of transition (50 - 96 AD) between 100% oral (30- 50 AD) and 100% written (96 AD - present), we find the highest standard is written. This is most troubling to traditionalists in their myth making claims the church did not have the Bible until the 4th century. -Context: of connected passages: Matthew 16:18, 1 Corinthians 1:10-13, 1 Corinthians 3:5-17, and 1 Corinthians 4:6. 1.) "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it." [Matthew 16:18] 2.) "Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment. For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe's people, that there are quarrels among you. Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, "I am of Paul," and "I of Apollos," and "I of Peter," and "I of Christ." Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?" [1 Corinthians 1:10-13] 3.) "What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building. According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work. If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are." [1 Corinthians 3:5-17] 4.) "Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other." [1 Corinthians 4:6] -The "Gardener" and "Builder" figures applied to Paul and Apollos: -I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollo (4:6) -Figure #1: Gardener: "I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth." (3:6) -Figure #2: Builder: "like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it" (3:10) 1.) There are two figures: The figure mentioned in 4:6 directly refers to the "planting, watering" of 3:6 and the "master builder" figure of 3:10. 2.) Notice the figure is designed to impress the reader not to exceed what is written. 3.) In 3:6 it is speaking about making the church grow. Remember Jesus said, "Upon this rock I will build my church" Matthew 16:18. 4.) In other words, in being God's workman, in finding new members, making the local church prosper, church government, doctrine and the like, we must not exceed what is written! -The five passages: "upon this rock I will build My church" (Matthew 16:18) -> "do not say 'I am of Peter'" (1 Corinthians 1:10) -> "as gardeners and builders... each man must be careful how he builds on it." (1 Corinthians 3:10) ->"I used the gardener and builder figures to that you learn not to exceed what is written" (1 Corinthians 4:6) -> Jesus intended his church to built upon scripture, not Peter or oral traditions/traditions of man. In conclusion: 1 Corinthians 4:6 so clearly refutes the Roman Catholic and Orthodox church's doctrine of oral tradition, they do not know what to do with it! Jesus said, "upon this rock I will build My church" and Paul warned: "in building the church, do not exceed scripture!"

You said: For me, the way I found to move forward was to put in place a firm guiding principle of any belief or teaching must be supported and aligned with biblical scripture otherwise I'd have to disregarded it. Me: There was no NT biblical Scripture to follow in the early decades of the Church. ALLL they had was preaching of the apostles which is tradition. So tradition comes first and then Scripture. Like most Protestants, you have only Scripture and that is why you don't understand it. You are missing the context in which NT Scripture was written and that is the context of the teaching of the apostles.

How about sharing Catholic truth and biblical truth .... 14 Scripture verses that show Catholic Eucharist is the truth ................. Mark 14:22-24 While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.” And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. Luke 13:26 Verse Concepts Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’; Luke 22:19-20 And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. John 6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst. John 6:51 Verse Concepts I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” John 6:53-57 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. John 13:1-4 Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, Acts 2:42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:46-47 Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. Acts 20:7 Verse Concepts On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight. 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread. 1 Corinthians 10:21-22 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we? 1 Corinthians 11:20-34 Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper, for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk. What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.

Its what EVERYBODY uses including the cults as their rule of faith and try to justify their way through it. 🤷🏽‍♂ 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 list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian docrtine, and then with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures 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, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself? Peacce!!!

@@FlyingGospel Catholicism is not build on the gospel. It is build on human thinking, traditions etc. If you read the gospel and ernestly search Jesus Christ than you get to know the truth...

@@gracekindness4227 And what process is it that decided which Gospels were canonical and which weren't? Because you know there are many other non canonical gospels right? It's the systematic tradition of the Chruch that filtered scripture into the final result known as the Bible. Also, following tradition IS scriptural and biblical (of course it is, since it's the Catholic Church that compiled it): Paul says that much Christian teaching is to be found in the tradition which is handed down by word of mouth (2 Tim. 2:2). He instructs us to “stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter” (2 Thess. 2:15)

@@FlyingGospel the cathlic church added so much to her belivingsystem. Paul said, that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the one, we shall stand firm, that Paul and the other Apostels taught us. The cathlic church is wrong with Mary, the Pope, their dresses. They are dressed like the priest of Agypt. And there is mich more, that is wrong. If you read the bible with an open heart, than you will find, that this church goes against Jesus Christ. I realized it. I was deep in this System. But the Lord Jesus through his grace freed me. And now I am free to live for HIM. A direct line to Jesus, I don't need a priest or salvation through the sacraments or Mary or Joseph etc.. Through the cross there is abundant life. Jesus lives... 🙏✝️🙏

@@gracekindness4227 Lol you don't need the sacraments? Jesus certainly disagrees with that.

AMENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

"it is finished." Jesus died once for all sins for all time. If you believe that Jesus died for your sins and God raised him again and that Jesus Christ is Lord, you are saved. If there was something you had to do after that, then there was no point to Christ dying and you tell Apostle Paul and Jesus they are liars. Read your Bible yourself and stop relying on the words of someone who was indoctrinated into the bloody dogmas of Catholicism

@@jndvs95 Well said and AMEN!

Jesus was quite clear that what God has joined together, let NO MAN put asunder. And that was quoted in all 4 Gospels which makes it very Biblical.

Matt 19:9, Jesus says that divorce is not allowed. That’s the rule from The Bible.

The "rule" you refer to applies only if you remarry outside the church. Because the sacrament of marriage unites the couple as one, you are considered married to your first spouse, unless that marriage is invalidated by an annulment. Being divorced is not a sin; the sin happens if you remarry without an annulment. No one should receive Holy Communion in the state of mortal sin, regardless of the nature of the sin.

@@bridgefin quote---Jesus was quite clear that what God has joined together, let NO MAN put asunder. And that was quoted in all 4 Gospels which makes it very Biblical.--unquote Obviously you refuse to list the exception to that!!! but in case of adultery--then divorce IS OKAY!!!

@@johnsteila6049 quote---Matt 19:9, Jesus says that divorce is not allowed. That’s the rule from The Bible.--unquote Matthew 5:31-32 NIV 31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. EXCEPTION: sexual immorality----incest, adultery.

Where in the Bible does it say my reward is with me? Revelation 22:12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.” At the end of the Bible, Jesus Christ encourages us with the urgency of His desire to return.

Where can I find a personal relationship with Jesus? Are you a Bible-only Christian? I am not Roman Catholic nor Am I a Post Reformation Western Christian. You guys as well as the Catholics say that you are practicing the true Christian faith. Yet, you look nor act like the Christians in the New Testament. If you were to come to my Church, you will hear the Bible read in the original language, no it is not dead in our Church. I have been a Christian for the majority of my life. I worship just as the Christians worshipped in 33 AD, I read the Bible and worship in Κoinè Δiálektos/Koine Greek. I believe with all my heart that the Bible as originally inspired I.e., Koine Greek is infallible! In saying this I do have issues with Roman Catholicism as well as Post-Reformation Western Christianity’s understanding of the Bible! As a lifelong student of Early Christian history, I am perplexed about the reason modern Christianity is so different from First Century Christianity. As a speaker of Koine/ Modern Greek, I can attest to the fact that the saying lost in translation is a real phenomenon! Roman Catholicism and Western Christianity have done a disservice to the Faith Christ gave to his Apostles to preach unto the world. I am saddened when I hear people state the “Bible says the following” when in reality the Bible is being used to support a theological position. I often hear staunch supporters of the Bible say they believe every word in the Bible yet their doctrines are nowhere to be found in the Bible. For the Roman Catholics purgatory and for the Post Reformation believers “a personal relationship with Jesus". For example, traditions are mentioned in the Bible, but in all honesty, the translation is lacking when compared to the God-inspired Greek word for tradition “Παραδόσεις”. Speaking of Παραδόσεις that very word in Greek tells us that Sola Scripture/Bible Only was a foreign concept to Early Christians. The Apostle Paul revealed that there is more than just the Bible in Christianity, ῾Διὰ λόγου εἴτε δι’ ἐπιστολῆς ἡμῶν῾, 2 Thes 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the TRADITIONS which ye have been taught, whether by WORD “, or our EPISTLE. Please show me where I can find in the Bible that the Bible only is the way to Go. As Eastern Christians, we have preserved the Bible and its original language for 2,000 years as well as the God-inspired Traditions that The Apostles gave us. Translation issue is why the Roman Catholics have a false doctrine called Purgatory as well as Protestants ignore the instructions of Jesus about the importance of Communion. I pray my insight would stir up the viewers of this video to seek out false doctrines that were established in Roman Catholicism as well as Post Reformation Groups. Here is a fact, it is possible for every miracle and teaching of Jesus to be placed in one book, thus we have supplements [ Traditions originally called Παραδόσεις ], thankfully Eastern Christians have kept the totality of the faith, not bits and pieces! John 21:25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if they should be written to everyone, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

praise GOD people are starting to see and ask questions and thats what we want to save people, to know they have the lord in there heart,God gave us this free gift, he gave his son who died for us so we can repent and take him as our savior , and when you know God is always there he will never leave you ,he says call on him pray to him in the secret place where its quiet ,dont boast in public or do repetitious prayers for all to see for they have there reward, god wants you to pray to him glorify him serve him,he wants to know you. His last words were for i never knew yo depart from me ,but god i delivered devils out in your name, i prayed for people in your name, but i never knew you, those are words you dont ever want to hear.

It's ignorance of 90%

Then try to spread explanation of the gospel. That is what a disciple does.

Could you tell me, where in the Bible that I can find where God tells us about personal relations with Jesus?

Claiming that God waiting 1500 years to bring the 'true' one is just completely irrational and flies in the face of reality.

"" it was born with the emperor Constantine" You are missing evidence, citations such as the ones below: “See that ye all follow the bishop, even as Christ Jesus does the Father, and the presbytery as ye would the apostles. Do ye also reverence the deacons, as those that carry out the appointment of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.” Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to the Smyrneans, 8:2 (c. A.D. 110). “[A]ll the people wondered that there should be such a difference between the unbelievers and the elect, of whom this most admirable Polycarp was one, having in our own times been an apostolic and prophetic teacher, and bishop of the Catholic Church which is in Smyrna. For every word that went out of his mouth either has been or shall yet be accomplished.” Martyrdom of Polycarp, 16:2 (A.D. 155). “…to be in honour however with the Catholic Church for the ordering of ecclesiastical discipline…one to the Laodicenes, another to the Alexandrians, both forged in Paul’s name to suit the heresy of Marcion, and several others, which cannot be received into the Catholic Church; for it is not fitting that gall be mixed with honey. The Epistle of Jude no doubt, and the couple bearing the name of John, are accepted by the Catholic Church…But of Arsinous, called also Valentinus, or of Militiades we receive nothing at all.” The fragment of Muratori (A.D. 177). “[N]or does it consist in this, that he should again falsely imagine, as being above this [fancied being], a Pleroma at one time supposed to contain thirty, and at another time an innumerable tribe of Aeons, as these teachers who are destitute of truly divine wisdom maintain; while the Catholic Church possesses one and the same faith throughout the whole world, as we have already said.” Irenaeus, Against Heresies, 1:10,3 (A.D. 180). “For it is evident that those men lived not so long ago,-in the reign of Antoninus for the most part,-and that they at first were believers in the doctrine of the Catholic Church, in the church of Rome under the episcopate of the blessed Eleutherus, until on account of their ever restless curiosity, with which they even infected the brethren, they were more than once expelled.” Tertullian, On the Prescription Against Heretics, 22,30 (A.D. 200). (note, the Church was called "Catholic." The term Roman Catholic wouldn't come along for 1500 years with a priest named Luther)

Catholicism was not born with Constantine. How could he join a religion that didn’t yet exist? Have you never read the writings of The Early Church Fathers, who were Catholic Bishops before Constantine was even born? Please do some research.

@@johnsteila6049 Emanuel has been duped into following false teaching, while he reads from a Catholic book having decapitated it from the faith from which it came. The canon of the New Testament which he trusts is 100% right, 27 writings out of 300+ early Christian writings, would not even be decided by his ROMAN Church until the late 4th century. So he can only trust a pagan corrupt Church to know it is true as he has it. (the very same Church at the very same time declared the Old Testament to be 46 writings; this is just another inconsistency of Emanuel's)

The angel never said that she would be queen of heaven. Or of anybody for that matter. Just because she found favor with God did not make her sinless. She needed Jesus as much as the rest of us do.

@@jgood3047 Sorry for those of you that can't question. How can any Catholic glorify God unless he's vaguely acquainted with His word. Once you've read it cover to cover and still have the same view, then fine. Continue to challenge what you know nothing about

Remember I've been Roman Catholic and even as one I knew there was something wrong. Mike is a wonderful teacher, far more eloquent than I. All I know is that I believed lots of lies and things that contradict the bible, that I was grounded in the cathecism but was seriously seeking my Heavenly Father and later on, after years of struggle He had mercy and saved me

No one is saved until they die and are judged saved.

Im not sure if Catholics are saved but i often who else do YOU owe thanks to for this.. 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 list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian docrtine, and then with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures 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, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?

Bridgefin, I strongly DISAGREE with you. However the good news is that the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 6:2 that ...NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION.... you can read it for yourself without any bias. My friend, on judgement day is too late. Repent and believe in the LORD JESUS CHRIST now, and you will be saved. You can read the words of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST for yourself regarding salvation: John 3, John 6:29,40,47; Acts 16:30-31; Romans 10:9-13 and Ephesians 2:8-9. 😊

@@ericevearitt3317 what are you disagree with? Can you be more specific please.

srich, I disagree with the gentleman who said that 'No one is saved until they die and are saved judged.' Why I disagree is because it contradicts Hebrews 9:27 and 2 Corinthians 6:2.

The answer is yes. Outside of the Church, there is no salvation.

@@studygodsword5937 you will find when you get round to studying the Bible that Jesus never said bible alone. But many times said his church. Not churches or make up your own religion or D I Y

Catholics believe you must have faith and follow the Lord until the end of your life. The state of the soul at death is what will be judged. Catholics do not believe they are saved by "works alone". The reference to "faith alone" is from Romans 3:28 - "you are justified by faith apart from works OF THE LAW. Protestants always leave out the "works of the law" out which is a reference to Jewish works of circumcision and dietary rules that were necessary for salvation. By the way, the words "faith ALONE" are only in the book of James which refutes salvation by "faith alone". We. are not saved by faith alone.

Mike dodges the whole topic of how early Christians understood scripture. This includes St Ignatius of Antioch, a disciple of St John, the SAME St John taught by Jesus who witnessed his crucifixion and saw him resurrected.. A great example of Luke 10 : He (St Ignatius) Who hears you (St John) Hears me (Jesus) Does the Church of Gendron have a proper Eucharist? No Does the Church of Gendron have a Bishop with succession from the apostles? No Could the Church of Gendron, only in existence for the last 30 years, be the CATHOLIC Church spoken of below? No “See that ye all follow the bishop, even as Christ Jesus does the Father, and the presbytery as ye would the apostles. Do ye also reverence the deacons, as those that carry out the appointment of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.” Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to the Smyrneans, 8:2 (c. A.D. 110). Ignatius below is 100% consistent with St John = THIS IS MY BODY. Nothing symbolic only as taught by the Church of Gendron. “They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess not the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Saviour Jesus Christ, which suffered for our sins, and which the Father, of His goodness, raised up again.” Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to Smyrnaeans, 7,1 (c. A.D. 110). Lot's and lots of reasons for Mike to dodge the early Church writings. Yet, he tacitly trusts in the authority of the Church he objects to to even know what books belong in his New Testament. "I think it’s extremely dangerous to condemn the other side and say those folks are all headed to hell." The Church of Mike believes in Eternal Security. There is nothing Mike can do to lose his inheritance, so he has no fear to say what he wishes. From his website: _a permanent right standing before God and the promise of spending eternity in heaven._ He doesn't see it dangerous at all.

@@TruthHasSpoken Spoken like a true Catholic who will place his religion before the words of God.

​@@stever4181 Catholic's TRUST Jesus .. he promised to lead HIS Church, the Pillar and Bulwark of Truth, to ALL TRUTH. Not _endless_ doctrinal chaos and confusion. ETERNAL SECURITY - So when the Church of Gendron decapitates scripture from the faith from which it came, and speaks of the man-made invention of eternal security, which contradicts scripture itself, we can reject it. THE LORD"S SUPPER - And when the Church of Gendron states that the Lord's Supper is symbolic ONLY, contradicting Jesus : THIS IS MY BODY, and the Christian faith for over 1500 years, we can reject it. Obeying the fallible and un-authoritative Church of Mike instead of scripture is doing just that : _placing his religion before the words of God_ It makes Jesus out to be undependable and a liar. He's not the divine author of doctrinal chaos and confusion.

It all depends if they were born again believers and followers of Jesus Christ and saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, Debra (EPHESIANS 2:8-9). NO WORKS AT ALL, BUT THE FINISHED OF CHRIST ACCORDING TO JOHN 19:30.

@@ericevearitt3317 "born again believers" One is Born Again scripturally .... AND for the first 1500+ years of Christianity - ALL over the world, wherever you met a Christian, through Baptism. My baptism write up below: The Old Testament Prefigures a greater New Testament reality: The Waters of Baptism are Salvific. - Noah and his family were saved by the water and cleansed humanity of sin, the Ark representing the Church. - The Israelites were saved by water from Pharaoh’s army crossing the sea - The Israelites were again saved by water when Moses struck the Rock God foretells his Spirit would someday reside not in Jerusalem’s temple built by man but within mankind himself: _25 I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. 26 A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will take out of your flesh the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to observe my ordinances (Ez 36)._ St John the Baptist says that Jesus would come baptizing with the Holy Spirit: _“I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire_ (Mat 3:11). _I myself did not know him; but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit’_ (Jn 1:33). St Paul speaks to the New Testament fulfillment, through Baptism, our body being the temple of God’s Spirit. _Do you not know that your body is the temple of the holy spirit within you, which you have from God (1 Cor 6:19)?_ We receive the Holy Spirit through baptism, the external washing by water signifying (a sign, a symbol, but not a sign or symbol only) of an interior spiritual change within us. Born Anew (Again) - through baptism, we are “born again” scripturally _3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicode′mus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit [baptism], he cannot enter the kingdom of God (Jn 3: 3,5)._ Regenerated and Justified - All Sacraments are means of receiving his Grace (we are saved by Grace) _when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit, 6 which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life (Titus 3: 4-7)._ Sanctified - the exterior sign of water signifies the interior spiritual change through baptism. _11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God (1 Cor 6: 11)._ Baptism Restores Sanctifying Grace and Cleanses Us of ALL Personal Sins _And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name (Acts 22: 16).”_ Baptism Saves Us - by having the Spirit of God in us; God can’t be any more explicit - _“Truly, truly, unless one is born of water and the Spirit [baptism], he cannot enter the kingdom of God (Jn 3: 5).”_ - _Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Pet 3: 21)._ - _He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned_ (Mk 16: 16; believing / having faith means to follow all that Christ commanded. He commanded that Christians be baptized as a means of receiving his grace) Note, I can cite Christian men for this whole time period who taught exactly what scripture teaches. The Church of Mike can not. Examples below. “Moreover, the things proceeding from the waters were blessed by God, that this also might be a sign of men’s being destined to receive repentance and remission of sins, through the water and laver of regeneration,-as many as come to the truth, and are born again, and receive blessing from God.” Theopilus of Antioch, To Autolycus, 2:16 (A.D. 181). Worth repeating: How is does one receive repentance and remission of sins .... through the water and spirit (the laver or regeneration). BAPTISM. Does the fallible Church of Mike Gendron know the bible better than St Cyprian? NO WAY! “[W]hen they come to us and to the Church which is one, ought to be baptized, for the reason that it is a small matter to ‘lay hands on them that they may receive the Holy Ghost,’ unless they receive also the baptism of the Church. For then finally can they be fully sanctified, and be the sons of God, if they be born of each sacrament; since it is written, ‘Except a man be born again of water, and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.’…[O]nly baptism of the holy Church, by divine regeneration, for the kingdom of God, may be born of both sacraments, because it is written, ‘Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.'” Cyprian, To Stephen, 71:72 (A.D. 253). Does the fallible Church of Mike Gendron know scripture better than St Hilary? NO WAY! “We are circumcised not with a fleshly circumcision but with the circumcision of Christ, that is, we are born again into a new man; for, being buried with Him in His baptism, we must die to the old man, because the regeneration of baptism has the force of resurrection.” Hilary of Poitiers, Trinity, 9:9 (A.D. 359). Does the fallible Church of Mike Gendron know how to interpret scripture better than St Basil? NO WAY “This then is what it is to be born again of water and of the Spirit, the being made dead being effected in the water, while our life is wrought in us through the Spirit. In three immersions, then, and with three invocations, the great mystery of baptism is performed, to the end that the type of death may be fully figured, and that by the tradition of the divine knowledge the baptized may have their souls enlightened. It follows that if there is any grace in the water, it is not of the nature of the water, but of the presence of the Spirit.” Basil, On the Spirit, 15:35 (A.D. 375). Where are all those early Christians preaching the fallible Church of Gendron?

yes god gave us his Catholic Church to teach and proclaim the truth- His Word

Keep in mind that ALL of Scripture applies year round not just a limited time of year. Ephesians 2:8-9 says that By grace you are saved through faith, and not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast. Catholicism boasts in works righteousness salvation which is inconsistent with the Gospel message.

There is no inspiration in compiling books of the bible. The bible is our filter. To the law and to the testimony, if it speaks not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

News flash! It's not what the Bible says. You need to read what Ephesians 2:8-9 says instead.

Paragraph 2025-2026 of The Catechism Of The Catholic Church: "We can have merit in God's sight only because of God's free plan to associate man with the work of his grace. Merit is to be ascribed in the first place to the grace of God, and secondly to man's collaboration. Man's merit is due to God." "The grace of the Holy Spirit can confer true merit on us, by virtue of our adoptive filiation, and in accordance with God's gratuitous justice. Charity is the principal source of merit in us before God." Merit is clearly ascribed to the grace of God in accordance with His divine will. The primary word in 2027 is "Moved by the Holy Spirit", that merit that is spoken of has its origin in the Holy Spirit. St. Paul exhorts us in Philippians 2:12 to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling." Which implies we must DO SOMETHING, You gain merit when you do what God wants. It is your collaboration with God's plan. It does not mean that we can save ourselves. Christ is our sole savior. But Christ has chosen ways to bring us that salvation. To be saved we must accept his saving grace, work in accord with his plan. As for Ephesians 2: 8-9 ("For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so no one may boast.”) The Catholic Church totally believes that. Just in a different way than you. We believe that Paul is talking about initial salvation here. Hence the past tense, saved. That indicates that our initial salvation is through faith not works, as the Church clearly espouses in paragraph 2027 of The Catechism Of The Catholic Church "No one can merit the initial grace which is at the origin of conversion." We know from other passages from Paul that salvation also has present and future aspects, so the kind of salvation Paul is discussing in Ephesians 2:8-9 is initial salvation. It is the kind which we received when we first came to God and were justified, not the kind of salvation we are now receiving, (As Peter talks about in 1 Peter 1:8-9 "Although you have not seen him you love him; even though you do not see him now yet believe in him, you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, as you attain the goal of [your] faith, the salvation of your souls." When Peter talks about attaining the goal of faith, this seems to indicate that something must be done. Also Paul, as talked about above, exhorts us in Philippians 2:12 to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling." Which shows that there is an aspect of salvation that needs to be worked out, something to be done in the present moment) or the kind we will one day receive (St. Paul says in Romans.13:11 "And do this because you know the time; it is the hour now for you to awake from sleep. For our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed" He is talking about future salvation, which we will hopefully obtain at death He talks about this again in 1 Corinthians 3:15 "But if someone’s work is burned up, that one will suffer loss; the person will be saved,* but only as through fire." Again he is talking about final salvation. That this person can be saved, but only through fire.) Okay I think that's it. I hope this help you guys and I love you all and pray that all of us would grow closer to Jesus and come to know the fullness of truth. I will pray for all of you please pray for me. God bless you all!

Cause he is very afraid of being exposed as stupid.

Well the video is just the failed claims doing another round. Full of self congratulation. Gendron goes for the weak Catholics who do not know their faith .... Catholics already glorify the Lord in the 7 sacraments directly to God .. Gendron and his hate preachers deceive by lies about what Catholics believe and do THE CATHOLIC MASS has 2 main parts 1) The WORD which is three scripture readings and a Homily explanation of the Word and 2) The Eucharist which is what Christ told us to do 3 times in John 6 and in 13 other scripture !!.. At 4 minutes 20 he claimed he had never opened the bible when a Catholic -- well 97% of the Catholic Mass which he should have attended weekly at least is directly from the bible - reading and prayers ... In the three year cycle Catholics get through the bible Genesis to Revelation !! Mr Gendron is just trying to build up his own empire in opposition to Christ - he has had his reward in $$$

@@1234poppycat they go through the Bible but none have a clue about it If they did they would not be Catholic. How do you get to Heaven? That answers everything!

@@_ready__ you get to heaven by following the Word of God in HIS Catholic Church ... 14 Scripture verses that show Catholic Eucharist is the truth ................. Mark 14:22-24 While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.” And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. Luke 13:26 Verse Concepts Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’; Luke 22:19-20 And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. John 6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst. John 6:51 Verse Concepts I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” John 6:53-57 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. John 13:1-4 Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, Acts 2:42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:46-47 Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. Acts 20:7 Verse Concepts On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight. 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread. 1 Corinthians 10:21-22 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we? 1 Corinthians 11:20-34 Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper, for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk. What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.

Yep. Where are all the miracles in The Baptist Church?..

Satanic deceptions every one.

@@johnsteila6049 They are happening all the time.

@@jimdrummer816 Can you please give some notable examples?

@johnsteila6049 As I said, EVERY one of them. They're all " notable".

Thank God for Christ's finished work on the cross. The one-time sacrifice for sin. God was satisfied and the temple curtain was torn in two. Thank the Lord God for the free gift of salvation.

@@jimdrummer816 Indeed Christ's death saved us from eternal separation from Him by paying for our sins. You wouldn't know that though unless Christ left His one True Church to convey that to the world. Christ left 12 men to spread the Good news of His sacrifice. The bible did not come into existence for another 350 years after Christ's Ascension.

Popes executed people though. And priests didn't want commoners to hace bible access. So not sure what you are talking about.... Pls read church history

@@roses993 I don't think you have a grasp on history, let alone Church history. Unfortunately most protestants have little idea about the Catholic Church, and merely regurgitate what their pastor has conveyed. Their has been too many high profile protestants who have converted who know Church history, who have ceased to be protestant. Give Joe Heschmeyer a look and you will get a true insight into Catholicism and the fullness of truth. God bless

The Bible was kept alive by God.

​@@TomPlantagenet: ...who inspired Catholic monks to devote their lives to making hand-written copies of the Holy Bible for one thousand years.

@@alhilford2345 does that mean that they get the credit for preserving God’s word? Or does God get the credit as the scripture says, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.” Matthew 24:35. See Isaiah 40:8.

Baptism is a public acknowledgment that you belong to Jesus. So religions like the CC believe you are baptised into a religion or that baptism saves you Both are wrong.

@@stever4181 and with the plethora of interpretations of the Bible in the world today what makes yours the correct one? Is it the infallible one? If not, who really cares? On the other hand there is this to ponder and answer ‘IF’ you dare… 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 list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church, guided by the Holy Spirit, that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian doctrine and subsequent councils of Ephesus and Chalcedon, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures 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, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?

@@stever4181 Please find "Baptism is ( just) a public acknowledgment that you belong to Jesus"

@@jgood6088 I never said, "just". Please do not put words I have not said in my mouth. Are you saying if you are baptized you do not belong to Jesus?

​@@stever4181 I would contend that many many many people water baptized do not belong to Christ. Water baptism saves no one. Being baptized with the holy sprit through faith in Jesus saves you.

What 'truth' is that?

@@MillionthUsername The "truth" about how to be saved according to Jesus' teaching in the New Testament and as it was written down by the First Apostles for all generations. Mike Gendron is explaining what is taught in the New Testament and how Roman Catholicism has changed the teaching into a different method of salvation which will result in ruin.

@@MillionthUsername Only the Word of God.. the Bible.. has the truth.. Spoken from the heart and mouth of God.

@@beaulin5628 But your 'truth' didn't come on the scene until the 16th century. Why should anyone believe that a new 'gospel' that pops up after 1500 years after Christ established His Church and sent her out to the world to evangelize, to preach and teach and govern, should then replace the Church and dismantle the Christian Faith as it had been known all that time? The Church didn't "change" anything. She received the teaching from Christ and it was handed down in the apostolic Church all over the world. If you are claiming the Church "changed" something, then where is the original teaching in history that you claim to know about?

@@alicia4him1 Scripture says that the Church is the pillar and bulwark of truth. The Word of God comes through the Church. The Church codified the Bible and closed the canon. Jesus founded a Church and sent them out to preach and baptize and form and instruct and govern. He did not tell them to hand out New Testaments and have people come up with their own doctrines.

What should bother you is that the Bible is actually a Catholic book. I'd be scared of it.

Hey Scott, would you please write a second example? Keep in mind the scripture doesn’t contain answers to all issues, that’s where the church fathers & tradition kick in. And of course one can always refer to “Catholic Answers“ for clarity on any issue .

@@hamidrabiipour9707 Here are several unbiblical doctrines/practices: 1. priests (not in New Testament in the sense of being a special class of mediators 2. Even if NT priests were Biblical, not allowing them to marry would contradict the Bible. 3. assumption of Mary 4. sinlessness of Mary 5. prayers for the dead 6. praying to saints for intercession 7. indulgences 8. universal church/pope 9. rosary (vain repetition) When Catholic apologists try to defend some of these they have to make the wildest assertions, often taking verses out of context. The ones about Mary are the most incredible considering how little she is mentioned in the Bible.

@@ScottPalmer-mp1we Your presumption that all doctrines must be found in the bible is an unbiblical tradition. And al of our doctrines on Mary were originally part of your Protestantism. YOU lost your own beliefs. Don't blame us.

I'm not Protestant.@@bridgefin

Bible or Christianity? Christianity by a mile. Bible or Catholicism? Catholicism, from the mouth of Jesus!

@norman, which came first the institute of the Eucharist or the belief of sola scriptura?

Go Norman Bauer, go! Take care and God bless you.

The Mass was instituted by Christ on the night before His Crucifixion. The Bible appeared about 300 years later.

@@sherbert1110Good point. The institute of The Eucharist was obviously in similitude with The Mass. Protestants like to think that early Christians believed in “Sola Scriptura”, but there is no evidence to support that claim. The first “Christian” to think so, was likely born 1,500 years after Our Lord’s lifetime.

Are you kidding! Why would they want to know the truth? Mike Gendron has created a profitable career out of lying about the Catholic Church. He can't stop now!

Go watch se gavin ortlund. Excellent protestant apologist😊😊

Stephanie, of course they won’t accept what you tell them ! Go at it from a different angle, if you will. Ask God to remove the blinders from their eyes. And to give them HIS wisdom, knowledge, and discernment. YOU can’t tell them, but GOD can accomplish His goals through you, honey. By the way……pray your prayers silently, so as to keep satan out of the picture !

Which man made Protestant cult has the true gospel? Yours?

As a practicing Catholic who knows the bible and Catholicism this falls apart when you listen to him explain what Catholicism is. In Catholicism ALL glory is to God He says when you pray to Mary you are putting Mary before God. That is untrue. All Catholic prayer is ultimately to God. So in the prayer to Our Lady the "Hail Mary" The second half says ""Holy Mary Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the end of our death, Amen " If he was ever a practicing Catholic he would know that Mary's role is to guide us to Jesus & all seven sacraments are to/ from God. At 9 minutes when asked about the 2000 year Catholic Church vs the 500 year 30 000 protestant churches mr Gendron claims there was a none Catholic church alongside the Catholic Church for 2000 years then goes on to name call the Catholic Church He of course provides no evidence for his supposed protestant church !! Timothy 4:1 says people will depart from the true faith ..... " So Mr Gendron unable to find a link beyond 500 years must conclude his man made churches have departed from the truth !! The Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church

@@johnflorio3576 That is a great question, and one that a lot of Catholics ask. Look at history in I & II Kings: As the Israelites in the OT, the Northern & Southern Kingdoms were DIVIDED for centuries for this very same reason: The Northern Kingdom operated APART from the influence Holy Spirit of God, and the Southern Kingdom possessed the TRUE REMNANT of God-the one that God used as the true bloodline of the Messiah through David to Jesus, the Messiah. The guidance of the Holy Spirit still transcends today, & continues through the Spirit of Jesus Christ, as Jesus spoke of in John Chapter 14-“When He the Spirit comes, He will lead you into all truth.” Not all Protestants are SAVED! Only the faithful, those who are STILL the the true REMNANT of Christs followers, who are PLEASING to God through their salvation & redemption in Him alone, shall be saved. As Jesus described to Nicodemus in John Chapter 3, it is those who FOLLOW the (unpredictable) “wind of the Spirit,” that seek & find the true Jesus of the Bible. His TRUE, universal & Holy Church remnant is NOT bound by denominations of Protestantism. The truth can only be taught & perceived, & led by The Holy Spirit of Truth,” one by one who recognize Jesus & the indwelling Holy Sprit as described in John Ch. 14, in the Upper Room. May the HS open your eyes & lead you into all Truth! Keep seeking the Truth until your soul is satisfied & filled with the Holy Spirit! Blessings, on your continued journey to The Truth about Jesus! 🙏🕊️✝️

I have no idea in whole world what you mean. But the tone of your reply is quite unkind.

I invite you to read my 2 comments headed by Number # 1 = CHALLENGE = Can = any = Protestant, including Mike Gendron, give the answer to this most = basic = and fundamental Question = Why did Jesus incarnate as a Man and die on the Cross ?? (( Note = a review of the following 26 points numbered from A to Z is necessary before answer )) Number # 2 = Who are the = Real = Christians - Catholics -or - Protestants ? FACT of the matter is that Protestants can = never = get the correct answer to the most basic yet necessary question which I posed in Number # 1. The question is = can you ? Because if you cannot answer this question, then your knowledge of Jesus, Christianity, the Bible is wrong and questionable and this can = only = result in jeopardizing your salvation

If you studied the bible that would bring you to Gods Catholic Church as it has done over the last 18 months with 3 Church of England Bishops !! The bible certainly does not say the Earth is fixed !!

@AJA Deacon 1 Chronicles 16:30: "He has fixed the earth firm, immovable." We are under a solid dome called the firmament. The sun makes circuits and God stopped the sun and moon for Joshua. Some of modern science is from the Satanic freemasons.
