@@bobbyrice2858 Thats what Protestants say about the other 40,000 (and growing) Protestant denominations That’s why you’re all divided

@@bobbyrice2858 Nonsense What is one to believe when one Protestant says infants should be baptized (i.e Luther and Calvin) and another says it wrong (ie Baptists and Evangelicals) Your differences run deep and are very profound If the unity of Christians was meant to convince the world that Jesus was sent by God, what does the ever--increasing fragmentation of Protestanism say to the world? Easy answer: Christians are mocked world wide. Is it any wonder your once founded Protestant nation is now ruled by Christ-hating Marxist. If you were united you would never be ruled by Marxists

@@bobbyrice2858 well I would never be a Protestant because your key tenants are unbiblical and the apostolic fathers who were taught by the apostles would agree with me and actually consider you folk Heretics and I don’t want to be a heretic “Beware of the heretics those who have such perverted notions of god they don’t love the poor they don’t care for the widow and orphan they even absent themselves from the Eucharist in public prayer because they will not confess the Eucharist to be the flesh of our lord and saviour Jesus Christ who suffered and died and who the good father raised up.” St. Ignatius of Antioch( a disciple of the Apostle John) wrote this in 106 AD on his way to Rome to be fed to the lions. Who should I believe a man who had the moral courage to die for his faith in Christ and had the Apostle John’s voice ringing in his ears OR You A Protestant heretic?

@@bobbyrice2858 seven months? Lol Catholic monks and nuns have spent their entire lives studying scripture. No, we are not one body, sorry.

@@bobbyrice2858 lol, Bloody Mary was an English queen, not Mary mother of our Lord. Marian doctrine is a direct result of the numerous Catholic nuns and monks that spent their entire lives in prayer, fasting and the study of scripture. The reformation was not Gods doing but Satan’s, sorry. It was the start of the rebellion, the great apostasy. Seven months, you know nothing. You are a kindergartner pretending to be a college professor. One that seems to have been listening to the lies made by Protestants. I made the trip out of Protestantism. It only took ten years of listening to 8-10 hours of Protestant podcasts 5-6 days a week, while also studying scripture and praying and fasting regularly. You don’t have ten years though unfortunately.

Can't submit to tradition no more, Pope banned it :(

@@arspsychologia4401 The true tradition is the acceptance of the Pope (who declares Jesus Christ as Head of the Church), and submitting to his authority, as the apostles did with Peter. Much of the rest is man made tradition e.g. how likely is it that the apostles were saying Mass in Latin?

@@ccribbon Then why didn't they dogmatize that in the first ecumenical council? Why did they meet like equals in Acts 15? Peter was first in honor, all the apostles were empowered with Christ's authority as seen in Matthew 18:18. That's something you figure out in the first meeting: who's in charge and what are they in charge of. You don't wait 19 centuries to make sure everyone knows who's in charge and what they're in charge of. Benedict XVI confirms that the Roman Catholics are the ones who changed tradition, not the Orthodox. Read your own documents, Vatican I has the whole deal on papal infallability, and the popes over the years have said many contradictory things, thus meaning that wherever you draw the line, somewhere the Roman Catholics have strayed.

@@arspsychologia4401 we're all equal in the eyes of God, but that doesn't take away from the fact that order and structure is needed in every organisation, including the Church. There must be a clear designated leader and that was Peter. Any organisation with 12 leaders will just not function effectively. It's the natural order to have one ruler with a council of advisors, or elders/bishops, in the case of the Church.

@@ccribbon Peter was the leader, first in honor, but not ruler over everyone else. He was the representative but they met as equals, as in Acts 15, where they say things such as "for it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to US" (not just Peter). Given where the Roman Catholic church has gone and how many internal contradictions it has made, it's clear that it is incorrect. I agree that order and structure is needed, I think you follow one that teaches heresy and I can provide evidence.

We need to pray for more priest like them

We need to pray for all priests, especially the ones beaten down and trodden, that the lord will put them on fire again

@David Cole: That’s the beauty of our Catholic Church! Some priests speak in evangelical terms while others approach the faith more intellectually; I believe we need both.

AMEN! Totally agree!!!

I don't even know what you mean by "evangelized form of Catholicism." If your Catholic why do you need to be Evangelized?

you're dead wrong

Negative ghost rider but I like your typical Protestant answer. Never any proof on your end. Always baseless, faceless answers.

@Pickup_man_1973 born again DOES NOT mean baptized. You'll find out one day, and it will be too late.

@@Pickup_man_1973 The "bible way?" That's funny. You guys don't believe the bible.

Pray the Rosary constantly for her within the family its harder to give witness especially intellectual one. But by your pracrice and prayer ,fasting aswell .

You need to pray for her conversion. When someone knowingly apostatizes from the true Church that Christ established, they remove themselves from the path of salvation and step onto the road that leads to destruction.

Well played my friend! Love it! I'm stealing this for twitter :)

@@KeithNester Have at it haha, I only recently found your channel but love your videos

@@sentjojo Thank you so much!

Thanks Haley!

Thanks Luke!

Great explanation. I know not all Protestants are the same but my jaw dropped when I met Protestants who told me they had been baptized 4-5-6+ times. When I asked them why so many baptisms they just looked at me with a blank look on their face. Or they told me their pastor told them the previous baptisms were wrong and they had to get re-baptized. How are they certain their current pastor is correct and the next pastor won't say he's wrong too. It was mind-boggling to me how this didn't bring up red flags for them.

As a "Protestant" I have never heard of people being "re-baptised". Whenever I have changed church affiliation, I have never been questioned about this. BTW I have only ever changed church affiliation when I have moved towns/cities/countries and there may not be much choice of church in my new environment.

Thank you for sharing this tidbit.

I looked into this because I was interested in why protestant Bible translations differed from Catholic. The word paradosi is Greek for tradition. The word Didasko is Greek for teaching. You would think they'd have the same meaning because they're used in the same spot in the same verse but have two different meanings. Teaching is to educate and tradition means to pass down from generation to generation. It was the protestant NIV translators who changed paradosi to Didasko, because they didn't want to offend the sensibilities of their evangelical readers because tradition sounds too Catholic. When I read that I knew I would never read a Protestant Bible nor listen to a Protestant interpret one again. Another thing to check out is when you Google scripture verses to find its location The first query is the NIV followed by other Protestant translations. It's interesting to me that godless google aligns itself with Protestantism and places their translations first in a search. When I Google scripture I always put USCCB to get the Catholic translation.

This is true.

This kind of story always warms my heart and soothes my soul. After hundreds of accusations of being the church of the devil, it’s lovely to hear someone who actually appreciates what we do here. Just don’t hold on to that resentment or feeling of betrayal, it’s not necessarily the fault of those people that they believe what they do. I have to remind myself of that often, lest my own zeal becomes sinful anger against them. In any case I’m glad that you made it home. God bless.

Pray for them.

You got it David.

It was not a prayer the Lord mandated us to pray If you speak of that as Biblical, then the reformers had no right to split the faith all Catholic doctrine has Biblical root

Catholic salvation Truth & Life App 18 For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit; 19 in which he went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water. 21 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, 22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers subject to him. 1 Peter 3:18-22 RSV-CE Protestant salvation Truth & Life App 13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!' Luke 18:13 RSV-CE I’m not finding anything guaranteeing salvation in that verse.

@@michaelibach9063 continue on reading Luke 14 where Jesus says "I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other: for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted"

@@ccribbon justified doesn’t equal salvation Oh, and Protestants are about to be seriously humbled, just fyi. They have serious pride issues. If they didn’t, there wouldn’t be 44,000 denominations created in the past 500 years. 8 The saying is sure. I desire you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to apply themselves to good deeds; these are excellent and profitable to men. 9 But avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels over the law, for they are unprofitable and futile. 10 As for a man who is factious, after admonishing him once or twice, have nothing more to do with him, 11 knowing that such a person is perverted and sinful; he is self-condemned. Titus 3:8-11 RSV-CE

Feb 2022 On Friday, the Vatican published the latest edition of the Annuario Pontificio, a big thick red volume that’s a combination between a statistical yearbook and a personal directory, as well as the Annuarium Statisticum Ecclesiae. Among other things, these books record changes in Catholic population over the past year, which allows observers to track demographic movements in the church over time. Taking a look at the new set of numbers is instructive. For one thing, the Annuario notes that Catholicism added 16 million new members in 2020, the latest year for which statistics are available.👏👏

The contrast is so astonishing that one is inclined to believe that if the salvation of mankind were left to the Catholics, Christianity would eventually simply fizzle out Sounds lie you aren't Catholic After all🤢🤢

I understand your concern But at the end of the day , conversion is through example The Catholic hierarchy isn’t the best example now Remember, in the early church, conversions were usually amongst slaves and there was much persecution There is a zeal in Catholicism to receive converts though and a passion for Christ amongst many members

C K I think your comparison is invalid. You are comparing a single small community to one very large one with diversified responsibilities. Just a few to consider. Friars, their job is to move among us and instruct us. (They have taken vows) All the other religious can pray for us. (They have taken vows) Society of Jesus is 'built' to educate and convert. (They have taken vows) This is the SHORT list! If evangelization was left to the church... Well, it was for nearly 2 millennia and look at the result. I think being the single largest religion in the world is a sign of "good fruit". Pretty much anywhere a Protestant missionary goes on this planet there has already been a Catholic presence. As for sparing no cost... I think you should read a few books on Catholic evangelization and the things these people personally gave up! Just one small one Protestants don't do is devoting their lives to Jesus so thoroughly as to take Vows. Poverty, Chastity, Obedience. The Church hasn't become 'so obnoxious' to others it is others that have a hatred for what they believe the Church to be. This hatred is fed and taught by the leaders of these other churches. Did you not hear any of these falsehoods when you were a Protestant? Do you find ANYTHING about the Catholic Church to be obnoxious now that you are Catholic? The purpose is to perpetuate their incorrect beliefs and prevent anyone from investigating the Catholic Church. Some abandon family members who become Catholic, something they don't do if it was Protestant. Catholics don't do this. Keith Nester does a great job with this site, but honestly if you did not voluntarily come to it how effect would he be? What do you want Catholics to do with Protestants? We can tell them the truth, but they don't LISTEN! Try telling one that Mary is the mother of God. ITS IN THE BIBLE!!! (How is it that the mother of my Lord comes to visit me?) "The Lord isn't referring to God but to Jesus". For some reason they think a mother creates life. But instead, they submit to the heresy of Nestorianism separating Jesus into a human part and a divine part. "She only gave birth to Jesus' human side". I think your mistaking people who have gone to a club with good house music to be entertained and are jumping around and yelling. With people who have come to Church to worship God. 😀

@@dave_ecclectic Thanks,Dave. I love reading the respones of people who have given thought to the subject and who respond in a manner that shows that they have a verifiable knowledge base. I am also becoming more and more familiar with the sort of obstacles we face in trying to bring people into the church. Nevertheless, I think ways can be found to overcome them. I am working on one such project - which I pray that the Lord will bless. Be bledded.

Truth & Life App 14 To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter. 2 Thessalonians 2:14-15 RSV-CE Sola scriptoria isn’t in scripture Truth & Life App 15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every sound tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruit. 18 A sound tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will know them by their fruits. Matthew 7:15-20 RSV-CE I spent decades in Protestantism and found no fruit. Catholicism has much fruit, they call them Saints. They make statues of them, they read the books they wrote and stories about their lives. True imitators of Christ.

From the Catechism: "Outside the Church there is no salvation" 846 How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers?335 Re-formulated positively, it means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body: Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. ____________________________ Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.336 ______________________________________ 847 This affirmation is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church: Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation.337 848 "Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel, to that faith without which it is impossible to please him, the Church still has the obligation and also the sacred right to evangelize all men."338

​@@39knights The 1992 "Catechism" is totally worthless. It contradicts established Catholic teaching throughout. It was compiled by modernist heretics looking to push the Vatican II religion. I seriously doubt you've read a single sentence of any pre-VII council, if you had, you'd know that the denial of the neccessity of water baptism and the denial that one must be Catholic to be saved is totally heretical. Remember: The Magesterium of the Catholic Church CANNOT contradict itself. This leaves two options for you: The revelations of Jesus Christ are a lie; or, these novel, modernist, anti-Catholic ideas are the machinations of heretics pretending to occupy Catholic offices. Here is the proof: Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos #9, Jan. 6, 1928: “Everyone knows that John himself, the Apostle of love, who seems to reveal in his Gospel the secrets of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and who never ceased to impress on the memories of his followers the new commandment ‘Love one another,’ altogether forbade any intercourse with those who professed a mutilated and corrupt form of Christ’s teaching: ‘If any man come to you and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into the house nor say to him: God speed you’ (II John 10).” A Catholic who refuses to denounce heresy and heretics (when necessary) is not acting charitably, but uncharitably. Pope Leo XIII, Sapientiae Christianae #14, Jan. 10, 1890: “St. Thomas maintains: ‘Each one is under obligation to show forth his faith, either to instruct and encourage others of the faithful, or to repel the attacks of unbelievers.’ To recoil before an enemy, or to keep silence when from all sides such clamors are raised against truth, is the part of a man either devoid of character or who entertains doubt as to the truth of what he professes to believe.” Rejection of the modernist "doctine" of so called "Baptism of desire" and "Invincible ignorance": Pope Gregory XVI, Summo Iugiter Studio, May 27, 1832, on no salvation outside the Church: “You know how zealously Our predecessors taught that article of faith which these dare to deny, namely the necessity of the Catholic faith and of unity for salvation… Omitting other appropriate passages which are almost numberless in the writings of the Fathers, We shall praise St. Gregory the Great who expressly testifies that THIS IS INDEED THE TEACHING OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. He says: ‘The holy universal Church teaches that it is not possible to worship God truly except in her and asserts that all who are outside of her will not be saved.’ Official acts of the Church proclaim the same dogma. Thus, in the decree on faith which Innocent III published with the synod of Lateran IV, these things are written: ‘There is one universal Church of all the faithful outside of which no one is saved.’ Finally the same dogma is also expressly mentioned in the profession of faith proposed by the Apostolic See, not only that which all Latin churches use, but also that which… other Eastern Catholics use. We did not mention these selected testimonies because We thought you were ignorant of that article of faith and in need of Our instruction. Far be it from Us to have such an absurd and insulting suspicion about you. But We are so concerned about this serious and well known dogma, which has been attacked with such remarkable audacity, that We could not restrain Our pen from reinforcing this truth with many testimonies.” Pope Eugene IV, The Council of Florence, “Exultate Deo,” Nov. 22, 1439:“Holy baptism, which is the gateway to the spiritual life, holds the first place among all the sacraments; through it we are made members of Christ and of the body of the Church. And since death entered the universe through the first man, ‘unless we are born again of water and the Spirit, we cannot,’ as the Truth says, ‘enter into the kingdom of heaven’ [John 3:5]. The matter of this sacrament is real and natural water.”

It doesnt matter what Keith believes. The one true church of Jesus says “There is no salvation outside the Catholic church”. There are exceptions, but overall, its true. Take RCIA, and then become Catholic. Catholic church offers an exclusive path to salvation. Take it!!!!

@@j.knight9335 No different than Luther when he disagreed with the current Church of his time. If you are going to question the current hierarchy of your day; then you are the modern Protestant. I have no love for this current Pope, but as Jesus said "“The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat; so practice and observe whatever they tell you, but not what they do; for they preach, but do not practice.". Like it or lump it but the current Pope and Cardinals are your Hierarchy. If you want to have the protestant spirit and oppose them by setting yourself up as the Pope over them then go ahead. Not sure why God put Francis in that chair and not you. Perhaps you know something God doesn't. We are definitely in the age where bishops will oppose bishops, moteher in law against daughter in law, Catholic against Catholic.

@@39knights Sorry, but you're completely wrong. Every Catholic has the obligation to recognize when a new gospel is being taught. During the Arian crises, 97% of Bishops fell in to the heresy that denies the divinity of Christ. If you were alive during that time, you would've blindly followed that Satanic deception, just like you're falling for the current deception. The Church is not made up of buildings and vestments, it is made up of people who actually believe what the Church teaches. This new Vatican II religion completely rejects the dogmatic teachings of the Catholic Church; that is to say, the revealed truths of Jesus Christ Himself. I can provide countless examples, perhaps you can defend just one of them: the Vatican II religion teaches that Jewish people do not need faith in Jesus Christ and conversion to His Church. Do you have a problem with that?

But only because they actually go against the Bible, not because they go against the Bible in your opinion. I don’t care about your opinions. You can start with baptizing babies, if you don’t already.

@@michaelibach9063 baptizing babies is not biblical and nothing is my opinion, it's what the bible says.

@@eddyrobichaud5832 actually, it’s not what the Bible says, sorry. It’s just your opinion, your eminence. Lol See, the tradition, which was passed down for 2000 years outweighs your opinion. You need more than just an insistence that people need to grow up first, sin, repent and then be baptized, all based on a single scripture you lifted from the pages of holy writ. Real understanding of scripture requires more than that. 13 Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people; 14 but Jesus said, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 19:13-14 RSV-CE 1 On a sabbath, while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. 2 But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the sabbath?" 3 And Jesus answered, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: 4 how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him?" 5 And he said to them, "The Son of man is lord of the sabbath." Luke 6:1-5 RSV-CE You are a Pharisee, dude. Jesus Christ would never withhold baptism and the promise of the Holy Spirt from any child, not even infants. He certainly didn’t keep them from the old covenant, why would He start with the new covenant? And I dare say the only reason you have such a bias is because you don’t care what you believe as long as it’s not Catholic in any way shape or form.

@@michaelibach9063 your brainwashed by your religion that is why you say that

Psalms 51:5 I have been evil from the day I was born, from the time I was conceived I have been sinful.

Mark 1:4 So John appeared in the desert, baptising and preaching. * " Turn away from your sins and be baptised. 3:3 Jesus answered, " I am telling you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born again,

Acts 2 38-39 says be baptised all of you & your children which could have included infants. Many accounts in scripture of entire households being baptised & they would have included children, Baptism replaces circumcision & no where does scripture exclude infant baptism. Read the early fathers & Didache where infant baptism was the norm, which washes away Original sin or Adam’s sin, what is the downside esp as baptism is necessary for salvation Jn 3:5 Young Catholic adults are confirmed when they are ready to affirm their faith By the way, rebaptism is blasphemy because it denys the work of the Holy Spirit at the first baptism. Baptism is like death & can only be experienced once!
