You’re not a Christian

My question would be, how did the early Christians live? They had no bibles for 300+ years

@leslieniiattohjnr8483 They did have a Bible of some sort but divided, that's what the fathers quoted to defend the faith. This is the beauty of it, even when the Canon wasn't compiled Scripture was still used as the Word of God to defend the faith.

@@reformedcatholic457 They never had a Bible of any sort! The only scripture they held onto without doubt was the Old Testament, the books written by the Apostles were scattered and in circulation and there were many disputes about which book was inspired by GOD or valid. The Bible didn't exist until the Council of Hippo and Carthage. The only scripture available was the Old Scripture, which was already accepted because they (the early Christians) were Jews and the Old Testament was already part of their tradition and faith. The apostles wrote the books/letters/accounts of Christ around 20 years after Christ died, so what were they reading to the Church when they celebrated the Eucharist? I believe your heart is in the right place, read about the very early Church fathers such as ST. Polycarp, Ignatius of Antioch, and most notably Justin Martyr; who gave a description of how the early Christians worshipped. You realize none of the very early fathers quoted Scriptures but they passed on teachings they had received orally. Also read about the Didache! it's a very important document.

Absolutely, mar mari mixes truth and lies: the apparition of his dead "mother"; praying to the dead saints; infant baptism ; saying that Jesus told him to look in the mirror and then added: you are Me and I am you😢😢😢...this is blasphemous

He said "about 97", while the Eucharist was not mentionned.

​@@Bobbel888 yes he said about 97 theses and that very clearly indicates the inadequate research he has on church history. Well. For the Eucharist, The Bishop mentioned that if Luther knew about Orthodoxy, he wouldn't have formed the protestantism and would have joined Orthodox Church because what he preached was Orthodox and no difference. To which I say. The Bishop is wrong here because some of the doctrines Luther preached were totally different from Orthodox. I then pointed the example of the Eucharist. Luther does not believe that the bread changes substance to the body of Christ, instead he believes the body of Christ is present together with the bread. This is not a minor difference , it is at the core of the two denominations . So the Bishop is wrong. Secondly to say Luther didn't know about Orthodoxy was simply not true. First of all Luther , a trained priest, cannot be ignorant of Orthodoxy , as one of the courses studied in the formation of seminarians is world religions and they also study the great schism.

​@@csmovilesI am a Roman Catholic , and as such I do believe apparitions do occur. And we also pray through and with the saints. My comment was entirely based on this particular video that he shared. Bishop Mari Mari probably had apparition of his deceased mother. Or of Christ. That I do not know and am not in position to call it lies. But there are clear things in history that we cannot lie about, there are clear theologies we cannot lie about.

@@EnzamaRobertAyikobua Yes, he could have been more sensible with sorting Luther as Orthodox candidate :) Guess it's the deeper rooted dialectic break of Rome and Eastern Church that attracts such idea.

But don't forget that the thief paid with his life. He lost his life, but gained salvation of his sould. Are we that lucky? Or we try to sin, and then be greedy and ask God not to punish us because we are sorry? If you were offered to be crucified right now and leave everything and everyone here including your loved ones, dying in one of the most agonising death that a man can experience, but knowing your soul will be saved, would you do it? People don't understand, that it varies from situation to situation. Take the resurrection of Lazarus for example. Why just God doesn't ressurect our loved ones like he did ressurect Lazarus? Because Lazarus was resurrected for God's glory and power over death to be shown, and also to prophecy the resurrection of Christ Himself. So, the salvation of the thief also was with a reason and was in a specific time. I am afraid we have to work a little bit, we aren't that lucky to be resurrected/saved without moving a finger. Jesus says, I was hungry and you feed me, I was thirsty and you gave me to drink, I was naked and you gave me clothes, I was in jail and you visited me...

That's nonsense i don't believe this is true

Heresies are often labeled after their founder. The Catholic Church labeled the followers of heretic Luther as Lutherans. Lutheranism Marcionism Nestorianism Pellagianism Arianism Montanism etc...

Actually Romans 9

Nope. Romans 9 is talking about the fact that those who follow God would live lives characterized by faithfully putting their trust in him. God has laid THE FRAMEWORK for what it means to serve Him in the beginning, however the individual remains free to serve Him. There would be no struggle to follow Jesus if you as an individual had unmerited disfavor (destined for hell in the very beginning). Again, the concept of unmerited disfavor is a concept Calvin borrowed from St Augustine who borrowed it from popular Latin Roman tradition, it's not Biblical at all. Augustine's book City of God is just an allegory akin to Pilgrim's Progress, a primer for his beliefs on Christianity. That is all.

More to the point, he got it from Luther, albeit he went further with double predestination. The Council of Orange reads a lot like Luther but specifically excludes Calvin's double predestination.

St. Augustined and the Catholic Church have a view of predestination limited to some. What heretic Calvin taught was a double predestination and rightfully rejected by the Church. Calvin invented what is known as Calvinism.

He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. -Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. -Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. -Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. There's 10 or so of these in the gospel of John. Note that believes is the same word as faith, it's like Greek has a verb "he faiths, I faith, you faith", etc. It's rendered believe in English. Whoever believes, whoever believes, whoever believes. No qualification. And yet you guys still think after an entire lifetime of faith, you get judged and end up in purgatory, it's absurd. Or Romans 3: But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it- the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. Romans 4: And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works: “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord *will not* count his sin.” - note the future tense. Then Ephesians 2: For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

@@Gandalf_the_GOAT I assume you have read your Bible at least once when you ask such a question? But on the other hand these five statements are definitly in the Holy Bible so I can't see why you would call it heretical. The NT is for example filled with 'solus Christus'. In the gospel according to St. John you can find the 7 'I AM-statements' for example. Sola gratia can be found in St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians chapter 2.

There wasn’t even a complete bible until the 4th century. How can sola scriptura be true ?

@christopherton The gospels and letters are 1st century documents. Sola scriptura is a very simple and powerful way to be sure you are correct. It doesn't mean we only follow the bible. It means if something contradicts the bible, we choose the bible over tradition, over miracles, over everything else. Can you add things if they don't contradict the scriptures? Of course. But if your additions contradict the bible, they are invalid. This is why all the main issues with denominations are things that are not clear in the bible. Can we pray to saints? The bible says we only have one mediator, but the bible also says we will become co-heirs to the throne with Christ, so by grace the saints could have already become that. The same goes for Mary. Christian doctrinee differences are very difficult to solve, and there's a reason people disagree. My personal thesis: I love Christ with all my heart and soul and mind, I ask to be saved, and I already apologize for any doctrinal mistakes I might do out of ignorance. I like praying the rosary. Do I make a mistake in doing that? I am not sure. But if I am, I apologize about that and since it's done by faith, it's not counted as a sin.

Faith without Works = ? And works without Faith = ? Ora Ēt... ?

Jesus neither wrote nor reviewed the New Testament, so if you trust the bible you trust humans who wrote books after Jesus was not there anymore to correct them. But Jesus created the Church.

How does one verse Romans 1:17 ? Try to understand why Paul was writing to the Church in Rome, a church that he did not establish? Writing around AD55-60, Rome was largely pagan; early Christians were being persecuted. In AD64, Nero martyred Christians, accusing them of starting the great fire. Rome persecuted Christians until the Edit of Milan in AD 318 when Christianity became a legal religion, with all the others, and persecution stopped. Sola Scriptura developed as a response to refute that the Church was the custodian and authority of Truth of Sacred Scriptures. Any one could read and interpret - Martin Luther’s revolt against Pope Leo X. And the One Body of Christ has reformed to 45,000 Protestant denominations. Not quite what Martin Luther envisaged

You are justified by works and not by faith alone . Book of Saint James in the first bible until Martin Luther chuck it out .

The real being one with the body of Christ is through the words of God (Bible) and the presence of the Holy Spirit. I'm sure you can agree with me that there have been some heinous actions done by church leaders before even tho some of them probably still considered the member of the church, if they have not repented, they would not be counted as being one with the body of Christ.

Would there still be denominations? Yes! why? because manking has the innate desire to always create something hmthat fits him. The question is, would they be justified in doing so? NO. I would put my life down to bring all Protestants sects back to the Church. I know the Church is TRUE our FAITH is true.

Believe it or not, i am thinking the same thing too.......as they say about the calvinists theory of pre-destination. Thats what the catholic did......and as a portestant, our church are against this "pre-destination" theory.

.....and hearing this things, now i know why orthodox church have in common with protestantism....not all but many of its teachings where similar to protestant church.....i observe this as i watch an orthodox mass......

Spoken like a true protestant, which I am one too. However, if indeed the Catholic or Orthodox church is the physical church Jesus Himself started, perhaps we should stop caricaturing their beliefs, for instance, calling it "pagan", while ours is as much pagan to them as it is among us even towards each other. I'm actually considering joining one of the original churches, tired of this bickering among each other over not even being able to discern basic verses, each denomination reading it this way then that way.

The architecture with pagan symbols or Masonic things like at the Vatican the buildings representing male and female sexual organs. Their telescope named. L.u.c.i.f.e.r. The idea their leader is infallible, then changing the Ten Commandments . I grew up as a Catholic and I found zero extra knowledge , my relationship with God was always intimate outside of catholic rituals or traditions, and it only grew when I saw a church online that read verse by verse the whole bible. Athey creek. In the Catholic Church all I ever got was the same New Testament stories and almost nothing of the old or revelation, it was just Catholic holidays or rituals, a lot of kneeling and standing .

@heythere6983 Will have to look up all that. Might be made up conspiracies. Fair enough, thank you for sharing your experience with me. Haven't been to a church in a long time and feel the need for a traditional one, which is why I'm looking into it. I'm glad you found one that aided your spiritual walk. I'm just reluctant to trust subjective things like feelings or personal revelation and interpretation of scripture

consider the unity of church, Epheser 4.

Confession is an important thing in order to live a victorious christian life. We all get stuck in sins sometimes that we can't get delivered of without that sort of accountability. If you're able to make it on your own just you and Jesus - then God bless you, but most people aren't.

proties are satanic heretics.

He made them apocryphal the inter testamental books weren’t removed until the 17 or 1800s

The Catholic and the Protestant New Testament are exactly the same. Where they defer is in the books of the Old Testament………….where the Protestant and Hebrew Bibles are exactly the same.

@@michaelcerean1990 And that's what going back to the teachings of early fathers and the Apostles

Ive read that apocryphal books are questionable in historical accuracy and some were written long after the time the supposed authors lived (ex. Enoch).

Was the stupid Christian

God bless you.

Have fun with that the Roman Catholic Church is unrecognizable

The Church was one indeed, paved by the seven Holy World Councils. In 1054 the west was anathematized by the Church because they changed the faith by adding to the nicene creed! Since the truth ultimately cannot be changed. They added fillioque and after they were anathematized they invented crazy doctrines like indulgences, papal infallabillity, and more so, they used the name of the Lord for control and this is why the dark ages came. More so! Peter is the rock which is Christ. He is the cornerstone. Christ appointed His 12, not just Peter. All Bishops were first among equals. All patriarchs are first among equals. And now some of them are snakes and this is why Christ will strike them very soon if they do not repent. Because they keep the Children of Israel as slaves. Just as the pope of Rome! They are the great harlot that fornicate against God and His Church that was, is and always will be only one.

Jesus wasn't Catholic. God doesnt call you to follow a religion, he calls you to follow him. Period.

@@OnlyKingJames you cannot be even Baltized in the name of Jesus and you cannot join His Kingdom if not through the one faith. The Catholics changed it and were cut from the church 1054. The great harlot that corrupted the earth with her fornication is His Church that allowed this.

Amen. Lets put our faith and hopes in Chrisr alone. Let him be The King.

​@@IesusChristusVivit The Apostles were called "Christians" in Acts 11:26.

Protestantism was a half-hearted attempt at giving up Christianity altogether. Only the watered-down version of the bible is acceptable in this day and age to the point that it is now irrelevant.

THE ONLY REASON FOR THE SPLIT IS BECAUSE OF THE DIVISION IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE !

It was not his decision. He became a gear in a sequence of civil wars resulting in reformation.

There is no need to judge. Whatever the Holy Spirit reveals is because he decides so.

I’ve often thought of this. As more and more separate themselves from the church, it’s like those pieces are literally detached from the church.

Amen We are entering the 7 year tribulation as written in the book of Daniel and ReVelation. Receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour while there is still time .

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@rp-2f I think what he is saying is that Henry VIII founded the Anglican Church which is Protestant but not the Protestant movement as a whole.

@@dhoff648 which proves my point even further.

@@rp-2f but Protestantism already existed. The reformation started in 1517 with Martin Luther’s 95 theses. The Church of England was founded in 1534.

Elect and reprobate is true but God does not make that choice. He knows the choices we will make but he doesn't brand someone reprobate/elect at the foundation of the world or in our mothers' wombs. A reprobate would have no culpability for his/her actions here on earth if God predetermined that person to be a reprobate before they even drew their first breath. We make that choice and it's arrogant for someone to say I was once saved and always saved. Then there's the other side of someone who heard of Christ then hears about Calvin's doctrine but is struggling in their sin and they say to themselves I must be that person who is a reprobate so once damned always damned. We die daily and try to follow a narrow path. God's grace is there to pick us up when we fall but it's arrogant to know if the state of our souls tomorrow would merit heaven.

@@buzztrucker God foreknows who will repent and who will not as God is allknowing. He picks and said that the self righteous cannot enter heaven. But those that repent have been given life and kept alive and been drawn in by the gospel trough the grace of God. The point of election is to give all glory for our salvation to God alone.

God created us in His image to share in His creation for eternity. Yet death came into the world through Satan. And as love is a free choice, man has the choice to love God or turn to evil ways. Hod takes no pleasure in any of His creation turning away. The Genesis account of Esau and Jacob, used by Paul in Romans, has been completely misinterpreted by Calvinism.

@@chrissobolewski5509 Genesis 50 verse 20: But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. Its telling you cant put your finger on what Calvinism has wrong.

@@Eskon2 I sense you may have quoted Gn50:20 out of context. Here we have Joseph forgiving his brothers following the death of the father Jacob. His brothers fear retribution for having treated Joseph badly, yet he forgives them by telling them that what they had intended for evil, God turned into good. The gifts of prophecy Joseph had been given by God, saved the tribe of Jacob, to become the 12 tribes of Isreal whom Moses then freed from slavery some 400 years later. Nothing to do with Calvinism.

„Oriental Ethiopian Orthodox“ Why aren’t you just Christian?

Praying to the saints means calling back the ancient deities of past paganry, now clothed in Christian clothes. It stops the blessing. There are examples in the Old Testament where peoples' hearts were divided between the LORD and various other deities. God wants that idolatry to stop. God does not want us to be speaking to the dead. And as Jesus pointed out in the Gospels, there is no discrepancy between being alive before God, and being "dead" (dead means that your spirit left your body). Thus, when the bible forbids us from praying to the dead it means (Don't talk to, consult, or ask for helf prom the dead (=people whose spirits aren't in their body here on earth) But I wouldn't go as far as saying that people who are involved in this kind of idolatry aren't saved. It is a serious sin. They are alive before God, yes, but they aren't alive before you. God already forbade you from seeking their help. They aren't God, they aren't omnipresent. When you pray to them, you leave a door open to Satan.

God bless you.

Protestants do have differences, that is true, but the core doctrine of faith is same for all: You are saved by grace through faith. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9

​@britt441 Jesus, The Father and the Holy Spirit are one. As the word states, to receive and acknowledge Jesus as Lord, God and Saviour with a heart of belief and with verbal declaration, you have received and acknowledged The Father and The Holy Spirit as well. For Christ, The Father and The Holy Spirit are one.

who prays to Mary ?

We ask Mary to pray for us (intercession), we Catholics worship Jesus Christ, and we are also the Church who approved that Jesus Christ is consubstantial with the Father (which many protestants accept) in the Council of Nicaea 325 AD and Council of Ephesus 431 AD.

@@Gandalf_the_GOAT 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and ONE MEDIATOR between God and men, the man Jesus Christ. Also, even if there were more intercessors than Jesus, you don't pray to THEM, you pray to God only and regardless. Praying to anyone other than God for whatever reason is not biblical and is the equivalent of idol worship.
