As a gay Catholic, sola scripture denies my dignity as a human being. Catholicism has a long, though often hidden tradition of homosexuality especially among clergy, that it is finally coming to terms with and blessing! It is the true Church of the loving God with the Pope his infallible vicar on earth.

God Bless you Brother, keep your eyes on Jesus, not looking to the left, or right, and keep running the good race, and fighting the good fight. Praise Jesus Lord God and Savior AMEN.

Yes God's word is the sole infallible rule of faith and practice

Been waiting for this video. Really appreciate you doing a deep dive into this.

I usually thought that there are only United States reformed teachers actually expose false teachings.. But from Australia,.. Brother is nailing it.. Keep your good work on exposing the false teaching brother.. Really learned a lot.. Amen

Jesus predicted a “vicar” in the sense of a “replacement” for His physical presence here on earth. However, this “vicar of Christ” is not a priest, high priest, bishop, or pope. The only biblical “Vicar of Christ” is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our Counselor, Teacher (John 14:26), and guide into all truth (John 16:13). Catholics = Vicar is the pope (man who is fallible) Christians = Vicar is the Holy Spirit (God who is infallible) Catholics = tradition (changed over time) Christians - Scripture (never changes)

Dear Ithinkbiibically, My mom has cataracts in her eyes and bad teeth. Could you please pray for her that God would heal her cataracts form her eyes and help her with her teeth? She wants to win money so she can fix her problem with her eyes and teeth but I don't think God would answer her prayer of winning money. She is semi-retired from work and dosen't have enough money to fix her eyes or teeth. Please Ask God to heal her eyes. I don't know what to do about the teeth though.

Some traditions present churches indeed are extra biblical in origin & often have I been pressured to obey the teaching of orthodoxy despite its lacking scriptural evidence. Thanks for this, very instructive!

Absolutely Brother keep teaching and praise Jesus Christ king of kings and Lord of Lords.

Why is it even a question? God said it, don’t need anything more.

I remember when I was a new Christian. I heard some very bad theology and I remember thinking “who is right?” It sounded good, but I knew it wasn’t what I had already heard. The minute I asked the question I just knew the answer. What does the word say? Eureka! After that moment, I never questioned again I just went straight to the word! Thank you Lord!

As a Catholic in name only myself, I truly embrace the principle of Sola Scriptura, and while I continue to disagree personally with the doctrines and practices of the Catholic Church, I am steadfast in my faith in Jesus Christ as the cornerstone of my Christian life, contending for the true faith that is found in the Scriptures.

A better one is: Isaiah 34:16 King James Version 16 Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them. When the unclean birds of babylon (demons) close in open the book and read

Amen !!! So true, I used to be a Catholic, but, got out of that about 20 years ago !!

“I AM The WAY, The TRUTH, and The LIFE, NO One Comes unto The Father, But By ‘M-E’.” ~ JESUS CHRIST ~ (St John 14:6) ~~~ “For there is 'One' GOD, and One ‘Mediator’ Between GOD and man, the man CHRIST JESUS.” ~ Apostle Paul ~ (1 Tim 2:5) ~~~ “(And) Call NO man your ‘Father’ upon the earth; For ‘O-N-E’ is your Father, which is in Heaven.” ~ JESUS CHRIST ~ (St Matthew 23:9) ~~~ :)

The problem is that there are many “sola scriptura” churches that still do unbiblical things. One example is having women as pastors. If you’re going to be Protestant and claim “sola scriptura” then you have to actually be about the word, and that is a big problem we have in the Protestant churches

If the cc are is the first and only church and only way to salvation, what happened to the 7 churches in revelation 1? where did John mention the cc in there, and where did he mention, "to the dead saints?"..

Wonderful... You're doing a great job.

Thank you for the Bible lesson. I enjoyed your commentary very much.

Thank you for your videos on these types of topics. I’ve been looking through Catholicism and orthodox expressions lately, and finding a lot of unity with them (I’m Baptist). I want to be in unity with all believers, and I do think there are “saved Catholics” and “saved orthodox”. However I always appreciate your takes on these topics. God has given you a gift to really help fellow believers think deeply and critically about what God is telling us through His word, and how to approach some of these topics where we might feel confused, or maybe led astray in some ways. Thank you for helping clarify so many of these tough questions (I mean more than just this video). Blessings on you!

The church fathers/churches need to submit to the authority of the scriptures revealed by the original Apostolic writers. Paul said in 1Corinthians 14: If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. Thanks Caleb, so blessed by your sharing. God bless.

Amein, brother! Well said.

Thanks! I offered a gentleman in the pharmacy line at Walmart with me a Gospel tract. Turning to me, he said boldly, "No! I am Catholic! I do not need the Bible, I have Papa." I responded amazed, you believe the pope? He points up to say he is number one! I said, but this is only the Bible. You reject the words of the Bible? Catholics have a Bible. Speaking loudly and solidly, "No, I am a Catholic! I have been to K-State and KYU. I am older than you are." And he is a short man, thick head of dark hair, in great shape and he's strong! At the end of our vigorous discussion, with a quick shake of his hand, it felt like steel." So we covered fast topics with his confrontation that he is a Catholic! I said, and so you go to Mary? He does not need people like me. He can spot us far off! Being a Catholic is the answer number one! I warned, I lost Catholic will go to the same hell as the atheist! He just gets more hyper, more loud and confrontational, more proud! It was time for the pills. So I offered him the spot before me. He liked that. I greeted him warmly as he fulfilled his order. I said, "You know, I really like you!" That handshake and happy words back to me. So he met his match to let's make our claims. And he liked it. Couldn't help but enjoying our talk in line yesterday. How many more days does he have left? ~ Chuck

From the New American Standard Bible (NASB), 2 Thessalonians 2:15 reads: "So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the TRADITIONS which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us." The problem is, the traditions by letters of the New Testament from the 1st century differ significantly from Catholic traditions that came in later centuries. So, as the apostle Paul says by the Holy Spirit, we should hold firm to the traditions in the letters of the New Testament, and these traditions in the letters of the New Testament prevent us from praying to the dead, prevent us from accepting purgatory, prevent us from accepting the mother of Jesus Christ the man as mother of the church, prevent us from accepting Mary as the Queen of Heaven, prevent us from accepting the assumption Mary resurrected since it is obviously an assumption, prevent us from accepting Mary being an eternal virgin, prevent us from bowing down to idols, prevent us from accepting Mary as sinless and therefore co-mediator and co-saviour along with Jesus Christ, and so forth. I hope Catholics wake up for their own sakes. God bless all Catholics and all Protestants and all Orthodox and all others who are called by God to obey the Word of God.

My hope and confidence and faith is in Christ Jesus alone 🩸 We need to be very careful where or in who we place our faith 🙏

the thing with the papists is, they always want you to be reconciled with "their mother church" rather than come to the Lord Jesus. Their idea of the "good works" they say are necessary for salvation, are to maintain the catholic traditions (dogmas and superstitions), which to them are of more importance than the plain reading and application of biblical text

Brilliant. Thanks.

Sola Scriptura IS the tradition of men.

Catholics are not the only one. The very first verse quoted is taken by Free Grace teachers to mean ALL SCRIPTURE is good for those things, but not for everyone. Because we have to RIGHTLY DOVIDE the Word into what is for you and what is for others. Oddly enough when it comes to “the books not written for us” we can still take all the promises and benefits.

praise be to the Lord most high for the work you are doing. May the Good lord bless you abundantly.

Thank you May the Lord bless you

Hi Chad. So grateful to see another one of your videos 🙏🏽✝️🤍

I’ve heard some of these imposters stand behind pulpits and say that when we only listen to scripture we “put God in a box.” This is an evil attempt by these liars to make up things that ARE’NT in The Bible. In other words they will tell their congregation something that doesn’t match up with scripture and then say “God can do anything he wants! Not just what’s written in the Bible! Don’t put him in a box!” But The Word of GOD says that He places His Word even above His Name! (Psalms 138: 2)

Thanks for making this video, I used to be catholic until I discovered all the problems with their doctrine. God bless 🙏 Edit: I started a war in the replies 😬

In the Methodist Church there are 4 pillars: Tradition, Scripture, Reason and Experience. Each one gets 100% value!

Jesus sums up the catholic church well, " teaching as doctrines the commandments of men". 🤠👍

Stay away from catholicism. Stay away from idolatry & fanaticism of men. Follow Jesus, become a Christian. Identify yourself with Jesus Christ not with institutions of fallible men.

Jesus warned us about the traditions of men. Jesus warned us to call no man "father". Jesus warned us that his mother was just another woman. Jesus warned us about every major heresy and blasphemy of the Catholic Church. Thank you Lord.

Sola Scriptura over tradition always💯

Hi Bro Caleb can you do a video on Calvanist/Apologiests/ Marksist idk if I'm texting it correctly. But the different branches of the Christian faith I want to know what they beleive and what's the difference between all 3. A few you tubers who I thought were sound are saying WE can not loose our salvation but I HAVE watched your video on loosing your salvation and according to scripture you are correct we can. I notice some say the ones who lost it "went out from among us b/c they were not of us" so they were never saved. I really would love to know thank you.

Do you have a part 2 or more?

There is no biblical definition of "sola scriptura". Luther invented it in the 16th century. Your main problem is that the bible HAS TO BE ESTABLISHED AS HOLY SCRIPTURE AND INTERPRETED. 2. Timothy 3:13-17 does not even tell you what scripture he is talking about. But you skipped the first part of it which says that what Timothy has learned he learned from Paul and that this is valid because Timothy knew from whom he learned it. That is Faith in Apostolic Tradition. Scripture is important because Apostolic Tradition says so. It is not scripture talking here in 2. Timothy. It is a person of authority. "Sola scriptura" makes scripture a godhead and overrides authority that Jesus has given to the Apostles. Indeed not only interpretation but also selecting what writings are part of Holy Scripture was determined by those who were in Apostolic succession. And isn`t it astounding that based on "sola scriptura" you now have countless protestant churches and movements with all kinds of different and opposing interpretations of the bible who all think they are right because of "sola scriptura"? That alone is showing you that "sola scriptura" is not working. The Catholic Church in contrast had not to change one of their doctrines since 2.000 years. And the sentence that "All scripture is given by inspiration of God ..." does not tell you anything of "Only scripture" and it describes the value of scripture as a tool for the Christian life to be "equipped for every good work". However it does not talk about "authority of scripture" or that Timothy should only rely on scripture and his interpretation of it.

Roman Catholicism is the prideful, physical representation of the church instead of ourselves as the new temple of which CHRIST is the head.

The scriptures are the final authority, not on just Christianity, but on every cult and every religion. 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

Please do a video on the contradictions

the Catholic equivalent of sola scriptura is Jesus alone.

I was raised a catholic, until…I actually seriously started to read the Bible. We can read in Scriptures that Lord Jesus commanded the Apostles to first preach the Gospel to the Jews, and after also to the Heathen or Gentiles (but never vise versa ! ). I found out in Scriptures who of the Apostles for the first time went to Rome .. and it wasn't Peter. In the Book of Acts it says in Chapter 28 the following: 16 "And when we came to Rome, the Centurion delivered the Prisoners to the Captain of the Guard: but Paul was allowed to live in a house, by himself, with a Roman Soldier that kept him. 17 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the Chief of the there living Jews together: and when they came together, Paul said to them: "Men and Brethren, though I have committed nothing against our people, our customs, or against our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans 18 who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of guild in me. 19 But when the Jews spoke against that verdict, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had made any accusations against my Nation. 20 For this Hope (the Gospel of Jesus Christ) therefore I have called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because for the Hope of Israel I am bound with these chains. 21 The Chief of the Jews said to Paul: "We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning you, neither any of the Brethren that came from there shewed or spoke any harm of you. 22 But we desire to hear of you what you think: for concerning this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere". The Roman catholic church claims that it was Peter who went to Rome first to preach the Gospel there first and that it was Peter who founded the Church there. Question: who lies? God,... or the Roman catholic church ? And what about the Letter in the Bible from Paul to the Congregation of Galatians where it says this in Chapter 2? From verse 7 we read the following: 7 "But on the contrary, when they saw that the Gospel of the Uncircumcision (Gentiles) was committed unto me, as the Gospel of the Circumcision (Jews) was unto Peter; 8 for He that gave Peter power effectively to the Apostleship of the circumcision (again: the Jews), the Same was Mighty in me toward the Gentiles. 9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the Grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we (that are Paul and Barnabas) should go unto the Heathen, and they unto the Circumcision. Again dear catholic’s: who lies? God’s Word, or the Roman catholic church? Bible, the book of Acts, Chapter 5, verse 29 : Then Peter and the other Apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey GOD - rather than man” !! Since the Roman catholic 'church' claims to be well-read on scriptures, then please point me in the direction of where in the Bible it says to pray to a woman, or with a rosary praising Mary, or to dead “saints.” Lord Jesus calls every believer Saints which all are who received the Holy Spirit and confess that Jesus is Lord - so Rome has no authority appointing only some people saint - that is ludicrous. Please show me the name ‘pope’ in the Bible? Please show me where it says to call any mortal sinful man (the pope) your father. Please show me where the Bible says anything about purgatory, or paying indulgences (buying yourself into heaven - is God corrupt ?). Please show me where Mary was sinless? Why is it that Catholics worship Mary still as a virgin when Lord Jesus had half brothers and half sisters? Please show me where it says to confess your sins to a fellow sinful man so that he may forgive them? Where does the Bible say the pope is the “vicar of Christ” on earth? Show me where it says that a preacher must be unmarried? It was the pagan ROMAN Emperor Constantine who was in fact the first “pope” who hijacked the first Christian Communion in Rome founded by the apostle Paul, and he didn't allow for the common people to have Bible Scriptures...to keep believers ignorant to stay in power, as the Catholic Church still tries to do. Later pope’s started the ‘inquisition’ because the book printing machine was invented and people like Martin Luther and William Tyndale could spread the Bible to the common people: they were persecuted and burned to dead for that by decree of Rome, and so were hundreds others who did the same as they denounced the FALSE doctrines of Rome. Rome called them heretics and witches while they murdered Christians who loved Jesus and true Scriptures. (PLEASE GET OUT OF THIS FALSE CHURCH !!! The Roman catholic “church” is a continuation of the old Roman PAGAN Empire: it never went away as it disguised itself as a Christian Church. Read Revelation, Chapter 17: verse 7, 8 and 9…Read also Revelation 18 to see what God will do to this “church.”

God bless you brother ❤

I want to become sound in Christian theology and doctrines. Please recommend good materials for me both books and videos.

As an ex-catholic, one cannot study and believe the bible and stay in the catholic church. You are expected to put the bible aside and obey the traditional teaching.

Catholic like to follow their idol like priests & popes & saints & not God 1st.

I wanna shout what the Bible shouts, whisper what the Bible whispers, and be silent where the Bible is silent. The Catholics should consider that.

You are Exactly Right ❤❤❤ You Gooo Boyyy ☆☆☆☆☆

This teaching isso simple, yet so hard to accept for them. It's called confict of interest.

Of all the sources of authority in the Catholic Church the scripture is the least authoritative.

If the Catholic church doesn't get its doctrines from the Scriptures, then where is it getting its doctrines from? Since not from the scriptures, then how does the Catholic church know that its doctrines are from God?

Amen 🙏💯, The Word of God from The Holy Bible is the Gospel Truth 💯. Almighty God's Word is perfect and Holy and the Truth.💯. Put your Trust and Faith in The Lord Jesus Christ everyday and put on The Whole Armor of God everyday. Thank you so very much and God bless you all everyday 🙏

Praise to god ,, i am also born in catholic family,, there's no any connection between Catholicism vs Christianity,,,,, Catholicism walking completely opposite teaching of Christ,,,, my parents r stil in Catholicism,, i left since more thn 3 years a go ,,,, my lord show me the truth ,,,, Jesus is only the truth ,life,and the way ,,,

But to us catholics it isnt sola scriptura vs tradition , its sola scriptura vs sacred scripture and Apostolic tradition (as St Paul writes in the New testament - "Therefore, brothers, stand firm and cling to the traditions we taught you, whether by SPEECH or by letter." due to verses such as these and early Christian writings we cannot deny the traditions handed down to us from the Church fathers) God bless you all and have a blessed day.

Why didn't Jesus leave the apostles with a Bible?

Please do more videos on Catholisism

The Roman Catholic and Orthodox Church assembled the Bible through tradition and have apostolic succession from Jesus’ followers

At last the truth. Catholics take note of the truth. Your traditions are not God's word.

The message here is one all Christians regardless of denomination should consider. Are there aspects of our faith, belief and practice that are not scriptural?

Are you using Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)?

Listen, Sola Scriptura is working as intended. We have more confusion then ever before. Keep up the good work! Love always Your Pal Satan.

Lol…the Catholic Church gave you people the Bible! It was Luther who removed books from the Bible-we Catholics didn’t add to it. And you call us heretics? 🤣🤣🤣

what is your take on modern versions of scripture?

In 2Peter 3:14 thru the end, the supposed POPE defines Paul’s LETTERS as scripture. Let’s not forget that the “infallible POPE” was found in error and corrected by the same “POPE” before Peter wrote his letters.

Your church was founded by a shortened book infallibly assembled by Apostolic Tradition. The Catholic church was founded by Jesus Christ.

Scripture is the final authority. No other.

9:10 yes please do this video and bring it to us for edification thanks a lot.

The question I have heard from Catholics and Orthodox Christians is if 2 Christians are filled with the holy spirit and both have 2 different interpretations of the same passage how do we know which one is right?

Brother..what is the response to the criticism that Paul couldn’t have been referring to scripture that had not yet been written, or that he was referring only to Old Testament scripture?

Quick question for the sola scriptura proponents. When two non-Catholic Christians disagree on the interpretation of scripture, how do they reconcile who has the correct interpretation? What authority do they appeal to? It can't be scripture, because that's the thing in question. However, if they appeal to an authority outside of scripture and they allow that authority to dictate how they should interpret the scripture in question, then they would appealing to an authority that is not only outside of scripture, but just as authoritative. This very appeal defeats the doctrine altogether. I am sorry for all those that have been lied to about the Catholic Church. I'm even more sorry that you have believed those lies.

Amen, Scripture only

Do Christians practise rituals?

This is the second video I heard of yours and it’s clear your understanding is rooted in truth. One more thing to note is that the Catholic church did not become exactly what it is now until the 17th century. The Christian church was already divided and was far from universal (Catholic) before the councils took place in the 4th century. The scriptures were already available to all the churches well before the end of the 1st century. Paul spoke about the existence of those written scriptures in the church in several of his epistles. History and scripture both disapprove the Catholic Church claim over the Bible.

As a Catholic I don't hate this video. Because this video is one of the many videos how absurd "Sola Scriptura" is.

Amen 🙏

In my corner of youtube with all the drama zoom call springer show types this now shows me why all the Catholics and "Orthobros" seem to group up on religious debates and why I seem to rarely support their side. Thank you brother, just found your channel.

My family and I 💖 JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth.Thank You JESUS for what You did on the cross and thank YOU JESUS for 💖💖 us sinful people

Sola Scriptura? A biblical text that is used to justify Sola Scripture is 2 Timothy 3:16-17 what does it say: "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." Here the question is, does this text really justify Sola Scripture? The truth is NO for several reasons: The text of 2 Timothy 3:16 says that "All 1. Scripture is inspired by God...", it does not say "ONLY Scripture is inspired by God...", which is very different. 2. If we read the previous verse we will realize that Saint Paul there refers only to the Scripture known at that time, that is, the Old Testament, let's see: 2 Timothy 3:15 "and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus." As we can see here Paul tells Timothy that it is the Scripture that Timothy knows "from childhood", logically in Timothy's childhood the only Scriptures known were those of the Old Testament, since the New Testament was just beginning to be written. 3-Which Old Testament Scriptures was Saint Paul referring to? To those of the Septuagint that Protestants reject. How do we know? Because Paul speaks to Timothy who was a Hellenized Jew from the Diaspora, let us remember that in the Diaspora Greek was spoken and that is why the Greek version of the Septuagint was used. Is this a Catholic invention? NO, this is stated by the doctor in Theology and Reverend of the Evangelical Church of Armenia Manuel M. Jinbachian in his essay "The Septuagint: between the synagogue and the church": We must not forget that the LXX was really the book that paved the way for the spread of the gospel. When Paul preached in the synagogues of Asia Minor, along with the Greek-speaking Jews who came to worship in those synagogues, he encountered proselytes who had converted from Judaism through reading the LXX." Therefore, the text of 2 Timothy 3:16 does not at any point endorse the invention of Sola Scripture.

Where in scripture does it say sola scriptora?

1Thess 2:13 For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe. 1Tim 3:15 but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the Pillar and Foundation of the Truth.

Where does scripture come from

The RCC started in the 4th century and we were called Christians while paul was still alive. They came adding to the word, and changing others. Teaching the commandments of men, in favor of comfortable traditions that lead to a curse like Jesus said in the Bible.

Churches have an issue of following the bible regardless of denomination Come guys why can't we love one another and stop putting each other down and pray instead that the holy spirit leads all of us to the lord and saviour Jesus chirst. Let us unite under our lord with love and follow his word and leave the teachings of men

...... that's why I love it.

Where in the bible does it say sola scriptura?

@iThink Biblically Thessalonians 2:15 "So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter." So St.Paul was wrong based on your argument?

This isn't a scripture vs tradition issue. It's more like interpretation of scripture vs magesterium/apostolic tradition/there interpretation of scripture. The frame work is more complex then that.

In Acts 17: 11, the believers in Berea searched the scriptures before believing anything that Paul and Silas taught them. This was well before the RC came into being. So, as far back as the First Century, there were those who believed in the sufficiency of scripture. They did not consult tradition, only scripture.

Paul's letter to Timothy was a personal letter never meant or intended to be included in the collection of 27 books we now know as the new testament

Ironic that you use Paul's letter to Timothy but ignore his 2nd letter to the Thessalonians where he says to "hold fast to the traditions that we have learned through word of mouth or by letters" from the Apostles.

100% correct....and also Sola Fide

In the description above...just below the video, the author says, "Sola Scriptura is one of the most important teachings of the Christian faith." Doesn't sola scriptura mean that all teachings must be proved from or found in scripture? If sola scriptura isn't found in scripture, then it doesn't meet its own standard; it fails to meet its own test. But if it is so important, then why is scripture silent on this doctrine? Why is there no really obvious, explicit statement about it anywhere in the Bible? Why didn't Jesus or the Apostles say something ?

God is in the process of saving all mankind. He has an order in which He is doing this. The few are the ones He is saving now and the rest He has blinded for now. But He will bring all mankind to know Him in the lake of fire which is not a physical fire but spiritual. His Word is the fire! God Himself is a consuming fire. When you start to see that we are to interpret scripture primarily as being spoken to each of us then your eyes will be opened and all the seeming contradictions will be cleared up.

Tradition gathered the scripture. God was/is before scripture and tradition.

2 Tim 3:13-17 scriptures Paul is taking about here is the old testament, there was no new testament at the time Paul wrote
