⚠️⚠️⚠️ Saying you don't know ANYTHING about the Catholic Church and never read the Early Church teachings without saying it So sad for you man !

The Protestant understanding of Catholic theology gets so tiring to listen to

The Catholic apologist, Trent Horn, just released a rebuttal to this video. Crushed every single misconception, every point put forward by Alan. Utterly crushed it.

Alan. I found this video because Trent Horn of the Counsel of Trent rebutted you. Would you be willing to have a dialogue or debate with Trent? You seemed well-meaning but greatly misinformed on Catholic teaching, and I would suspect that this is because you haven’t talked to many informed Catholics about what you brought up. For instance, your understanding of the Catholic views of the effects of praying for the dead and Salvation are just flat out incorrect. Many of your criticisms of Transubstantiation are either inaccurate or just don’t hold water. I obviously disagree with this entire video, but you have a better understanding of some things than others

Protestant: there’s no infallible authority outside of the Bible Also Protestant: trust me my interpretation of this scripture is infallible

I hope that people who are watching this video don’t actually think that Alan Parr knows what he’s talking about. Almost everything he said about the Catholic Church is incorrect.

If communion is 'just' a symbol, why did Paul say that there is those sick and dying from taking it unrighteously?

"To be deep in history is to cease to be a Protestant."

I left Protestantism after 20 years and converted to Catholicism last year. I’m the only Catholic in my entire family -and I love my evangelical friends and fam- but the Church feels like home 🇻🇦

Demolished by Trent

may I remind you that we have the bible thanks to the Catholic Church. God Bless

bro doesn’t know what he’s talking about 💀💀

WARNING: The author of this video has been known in the past to misrepresent the teachings and practices of the Catholic Church. Anyone wishing to find out what the Catholic Church actually teaches should consult the Catechism of the Catholic Church as well as the canons and decrees of the Church’s councils.

How could a 'false teaching' survive for 2000+ years?

I used to be Protestant. I even went to a year of seminary. I was thinking of becoming an Episcopal Priest. I am 68 years old now, and I have been married for 45 years. Both my wife and I are Catholic Christians. We trust in Jesus for our Salvation. I think your talk was very sincere but misinformed. Unfortunately it is difficult for a non-Catholic to appreciate the blessings a Christian can receive within the Catholic Church. Still I am confident that the Lord will bless you.

You said that "we protestants" believe that Communion is merely a memorial, a reminder of Christ's death. Actually, even in the protestant world this is the minority position.

Anglican here. If you have true faith, you will have good works to accompany that faith and those works will testify about that faith much in the same way a tree's fruit testifies about it.

Best thing my family ever did was become catholic thirty years Far more biblical than any protestant church once you really understand

As far as purgatory, I ask all protestants: Are you completely experientially righteous before you die?

I'm catholic and just discovering my faith, Saints are venerated, God is worshipped, the issue with most protestants is that they venerate God so when Catholics venerate saints it looks like worship to them. Asking for intercession is not praying to them it's still praying to God. "Prayers for the dead", is not about changing God's mind about someone's salvation it's about having hope that someone you love might be in God's presence, also the prayers doesn't 'promote' the soul from purgatory to heaven, all souls in purgatory goes to heaven, no sin can enter heaven it's a cleansing process before one goes to the holy presence of God, just like entering the tabernacle in Moses' time. The doctrine of Transubstantiation is not found on the last supper but elsewhere although in the eucharist we participate in it, Jesus said “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 you.” the people started to walk away saying "how can this man give us his flesh to eat?" As They were walking away he doubles down saying my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink he didn't correct what they had understood him saying but doubles down on it. He then turned to Peter and asked "are you going to walk too?" Peter just said "You offer eternal life where else would we go" Jesus died for all sins, Mortal sins are just sins that are greater that others in the context of its severity, it just means needing repentance over since it's mostly tied to how you live your life and how you worship God or not. and again it does not get them in purgatory, all souls in purgatory are saved, judgement has been made upon them and since no sin or impurities can enter heaven thus the cleansing, Christ's salvific sacrifice is offered freely but We don't have the license to do what we want expecting to still be saved. And it's NOT only through the sacraments we are going to forgiven, Jesus will save who he wants to save, the sacraments are tied to him but. He's not tied to it. Dying in a state of mortal sin is a person dying in their sins knowingly and rejecting God's offer of grace, saying "im a christian" to look good in the eyes of their neighbors but live their lives away from Jesus. "Grace through works" means we are participating in Jesus' work, we can't earn our way into heaven no one goes to the father but through Jesus, but the grace offered is something that we need to act upon, we receive it, we live it, faith is not something that is static, human hearts are very easily swayed specially in times of testing. If you're given an apple do you just leave it on the table to rot or are you going to eat it with delight and appreciation. In confession, the priest is acting on Jesus' authority to forgive. And we are not just priests, all baptized people are called to be apostles. And true that Jesus is the only mediator that's why his authority can do these.

Man Allan you are getting roasted now that Trent put that video out fact checking you 😅😅

I’m thinking about becoming Catholic due to the church fathers.

Justin Martyr wrote before 165ad the description of how early christians worshiped and it is the description of the mass we catholics celebrate every day. He even describes the Eucharist saying “we do not receive these things as common bread or common drink;...so we also HAVE BEEN TAUGHT that the food consecrated by the word of prayer which comes from him (God), from which our flesh and blood are nourished by transformation, is the flesh and blood of that incarnate Jesus.” The Catholic church didn’t make these up for no reason. They were taught by the apostles. The Church has protected these teachings.

I saw your shirt and the print is "Sola Fide" or "Faith Alone". And I remember the epistle of James says "You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone." (James 2:24)

Also could you maybe do a video on how we can prove the Bible canon is closed .

27:33 I have quite literally committed all of those sins in my past, I am so thankful for Jesus' death, burial and resurrection, without Jesus, there is no forgiveness of sin, I was the worst of the worst and Jesus found me in my brokenness, no one is too far gone to be saved, Jesus saves.

Hello Pastor. Please give a message on the dangers of the Jehovah Witness religion. So many people are hurt by this cult. Blessings and Thank you

Where Parr gets it wrong is that all of his positions assume that the Bible is the foundation of the Christian faith, which it is obviously not ( 1 Tim 3:15 - "The Church is the pillar and foundation of the truth"). Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus appeal to a "Bible" (instead, you see the first century Christians appealing to the Church). Nowhere does Jesus hand the apostles a set of books and says, "This is the authority of the faith." Instead, he established a Church built on the apostles, whereby it was that Church, through the Holy Spirit, which gave us the Bible. Don't get me wrong, the Bible is essential to our faith, but Parr's post-modernist and post-printing press concept of Christianity, which is devoid of its necessary first-century Jewish context, is flawed.

Sit down with Trent Horn for a discussion. It doesn't even have to be a debate. If you are going to keep criticising the Catholic Church, the least you can do is discuss those criticisms with an informed Catholic.

I have been a catholic for the bigger part and left like 10 yrs, went to Pentecost but am going back to catholic end of this year, am better of there

Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Brother Allen, I will echo many here and suggest you do a follow-up video in tandem with a well-credentialed Catholic (and maybe one who was formerly Protestant) such as Jimmy Akin, Keith Nester, or Dr. Scott Hahn. I have been a life long Protestant (42 years) and come from a very devout Baptist family, but for the past 6 months I have been wrestling with many “distortions” I was taught about Catholics from my Pastors and other knowledgeable Protestants, who though well-meaning, lacked the theological grounding to make a true and full comparison.

As a Catholic, he does a good job trying to honestly explain our beliefs. But he falls short on multiple occasions. He started off well explaining all 7 of these “mistakes” but then incorrectly explains the actual Catholic belief.

A very poor critic of Catholicism. It's getting tiring at this point. I wish protestants like this fellow would put in more effort. We Catholics appreciate the criticism of protestants, we only ask that it be intelligent. We might still disagree but at the very least, we would appreciate the thought and effort put into it.

Have you ever considered the possibility to have a productive conversation with a well prepared Catholic about these 7 points?

Don't worry, as a catholic I really enjoy your videos. And the way you expose your points are very nicely done. Nevertheless all your points have already been answered many times. Short answer : either Jesus told the truth when he promised the Paraclet would teach and enlight the Church with all that Jesus didn't explain. Either Jesus lied and the Church can be corrupted. But then you encounter a big problem as the Bible, and specially the New Testament, can't be taken as the Word of God as it took 5 centuries for the Church to select the legit books that compose the New Testament. To sum up, there is no rational way to believe the Bible is telling the truth if you claim the authority under which it has been elaborated can be corrupted. Why would it be corrupted for its teachings, but would be infaillible when it comes for the Bible? 2) Amongst the argument you oppose to the catholic faith there is a false fact. There is no way the catholic faith would believe a saint is more efficient than an other. A Saint is just a member of the big spiritual family called the Church, an exemple to follow, a brother, a sister, a mother, a father, a close friend. Saints are the branches of the vine. You assume the part of the Gospel about Lazarus is hell. Nothing in the text says the selfish condition of the rich man is eternal. Specially as the rich man is starting to show compassion towards his brothers. 3) Amongst the false understandings you expose about your the catholic faith the mortal sin is very very sad. Even if you first recall what is a mortal sin : not only it requires a serious matter, but it's a sin you commit with the FULL and FREE will to sin, fully knowing it's a mortal sin and you have no repent before your death, you end by reducing the mortal sin to a formal and serious act with no consideration for freedom and consciousness of the sinner. Let's take masturbation for instance. It is indeed a matter where a mortal sin can be committed. But the act in itself is not enough. If the freedom of the sinner is reduced (addiction, anxiety), or doesn't he have any knowledge that it is a mortality sin, there is no mortal sin. So in any doubt go to confession. Not only Jesus himself did forgive sins through a personal encounter, but "whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven." 4) when Jesus asks the sinner not to sin anymore, he indeed asks for a human cooperation with His Grace.

Hallelujah!!! I’m the favorite, $60,000 every week! Now I can afford anything and also support the work of God and the church.

There are over 30,000 Christian denominations, who is the say which denomination has the correct teachings? Also the catholic church was the 1st church, how can you say they are wrong?

Thank you Brother Allen, this video was very insightful. You made a lot of great points. I pray for all my Catholic brothers and sisters.

Hi Allen, you were one of the first Christian KZfaqrs I watched since I became a believer. I always supported you, as you are very well-spoken. I may not be the most knowledgeable person here. However, by God's grace, I did my own research into church history and learned about the early Ante-Nicene Church Fathers along. Many writings I've read from the early Christian church sound like what the Catholic Church is today, especially with church authority, church unity, the Eucharist, etc... I never knew about church history or even the protestant reformation. Perhaps, we are the ones who are wrong. Perhaps we should return to original Christianity rather than the new versions of Christianity that teach newer doctrines today. I had many objections, but after prayer, researching, and reading the bible, I don't see how I can stay here. I would encourage everyone to continue to seek God and search for the fullness of truth. There are many misconceptions about Catholics that many of us are taught by people who are against the Catholic church. At the very least, listen to Catholic defenses against these accusations rather than only hearing from one side. That seems fair to avoid being biased. I know it might seem scary/challenging/uncomfortable, but it's worth studying since we broke off from the catholic church after all. Here are some questions we should ask: -Did God only leave us with the bible, or a bible and a Church? -Did God let His Church go corrupt? Was it ever his church in the first place? -What happened to Christianity after the apostles died? -Are newer denominations currently trying to reinvent the wheel when the Catholic Church already figured it out? -Are we 21st-century Christians going to say we know more about true Christianity than the early Church fathers (Clement of Rome, Polycarp, Irenaeus, Ignatius of Antioch, Athanasius, etc) did? -If we trust the early church to give us the canon, or even the doctrine of the Trinity, why can't we trust them for anything else? -Why are protestant denominations disputing over elementary teachings that we were told to move on from a long time ago in the book of Hebrews. (Hebrews 6:1)? -Is it possible that God already revealed some revelations of scripture to his faithful servants long ago before we got here? If so, how is their interpretation different from our personal interpretations today? In what ways are they similar? And when searching for the answers, we must be sure to hear from BOTH sides. I believe God loves all of us and He wants us to grow in knowledge and wisdom. He wants us to seek him: Jeremiah 29:13, Matthew 7:7-8, Hebrews 11:6. These verses show that God wants us to seek him! So let's get our backpacks and binoculars and start hiking. I know most of us are already comfortable with our own church that we have been brought up in, but perhaps it's time to start asking deep questions about our faith to truly know why we believe what we have been told. Good theology matters. Bad theology can hurt us in the end. Jesus truly loves us, so if there is a possibility that the version of Christianity we have been taught today isn't the same as the original, we have the right to know. If we have been taught by teachers who came before us and passed down new teachings to us and now we are taught to hate the catholic church, we at least owe it to ourselves to find out if we have been led astray or not. God bless you all and may He bring us into more truth, knowledge, and understanding

Will you discuss this publicly with Trent Horn?

Grew up Protestant, converted to the Catholic Church about 9 years ago now. Here's my response to the first objection you raised: In Catholic theology, the Church is the Body of Christ. It is made up of the baptized who have been adopted into Christ. There is only one body of Christ. The Church on earth is the same Church as the Church in heaven. Saints in heaven are not "dead", they are more alive than we are now because they are face to face with God. So just as I may ask members of the Church on Earth to pray for me, I can certainly ask for members of the Church in heaven to pray for me as well. We're all in the Body of Christ. The argument that once a Christian dies and is with God he/she has absolutely no knowledge of people on Earth seems extremely odd and counter to the entire mission of Christ ---which is to save humankind from our sins and bring us into His divine life. Reason alone would seem to suggest that, until the end of this world, the saints in heaven would probably delight in praying for those of us on Earth still running the race. I think your interpretation of Hebrews 11 and 12 is way off the mark. The imagery is clearly of the Earthly Church running a race in a stadium and the saints of the past in the stands cheering us on. A plain reading of the text paints that picture. This "museum" interpretation is completely read into the text. There is absolutely no "museum" imagery in the text at all. Secondly, if you look at the verb tenses, it is clear that those who are in the "hall of faith" are presently surrounding us. Furthermore, museums didn't exist when Hebrews was written, but coliseums and olympic games did. Lastly, I don't think races occur in museums, do you? In the Rich Man and Lazarus parable, the rich man still has knowledge of what's going on on Earth. At the very least, he has knowledge of his family and five brothers are still in danger of internal condemnation. In 2 Maccabees 12, which was in the Bible until the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century, there is an episode in which the Jewish army surveys the battlefield after combat with the Greeks and discovers that some of their fallen soldiers have pagan medallions underneath their clothing. They immediately stop and offer prayers for them (even though they are dead). Even if you don't accept this book as part of the Canon, it shows that prior to the rise of Christianity, the Jews practiced praying for the dead. A tradition that would continue in early Christianity. As early as 200 AD, there are inscriptions in the Catacombs asking various Saints for their prayers. The practice of asking for a Saint's intercession goes back to the very beginning of Christianity. It would be hard to imagine that within the first 100 years of the early Church such a heretical doctrine would become the norm. Finally, in 1 Corinthians 15:29, St. Paul makes reference to an early Christian practice of Baptizing someone for the dead. He does not condemn this practice, but for whatever reason the practice didn't continue for very long. Never the less, this brief mention shows that even St. Paul believed that we can do things on earth that effect those who have passed away to the next life. If you're a Catholic....do research. Our Church was founded by Christ 2000 years ago. There are extremely good reasons for all Catholic teaching. All of it is backed by Scripture, history, reason, and the Tradition passed down by the Church Fathers and great theologians of the Church.

One small truth to add. All children of God are called saints the moment they are saved by the Grace of God through our faith, through the Holy Spirit. There are no special deeds or classifications of works that needs to be accomplished to be a 'saint' in God's eyes.

I was told by my Catholic mom when I was 6 years old that in order to go to Heaven, I need to do the “sacraments”, “corporal works of mercy” and other good works because we will be asked what have we done here on earth. Then she asked me what have I done yet. I couldn’t answer her. I felt doomed at a young age! I was afraid I might die and won’t enter Heaven. But 9 years after (age 17), I was saved by grace through faith in Jesus and left the Catholic cult

Trent crushed him this morning.

I have been a born again Christian since 2020-2021, I remember speaking to about my abortions (last year) to my sister's in laws' family, whom are catholic and also to my own mother, opening up was the most difficult thing to do and I had already deeply repented and spoken to Jesus many times. I remember my mom shouting, "YOU MURDERED YOUR BABIES?!!! YOU HAD TWO ABORTIONS?!" and it was the strangest thing, because people in religion place one sin over another and they look down on others whom have committed worse sins, in their eyes.... but God sees sin all the same, we are all sinners and we all need Jesus. I remember also speaking with my sister's aunt, and she is also a devout catholic... she was incredibly kind but it seemed she felt we needed to work off our sins and go to church in order to be saved and participate in the eucharist and baptisms and things of that nature. In my opinion, I do not agree with catholicism, it is a perversion of the truth and distortion of God's word. Furthermore, I'd also like to say, that when I was sharing my testimony, unbeknown to me... I was pregnant at the time. The Lord has redeemed me and vindicated me, my baby is beautiful and looks just like me. We may sin, and fall short, but we are never too far gone for God.

We are all called to be Holy and to live our lives in a way that glorifies GOD! 🙏🏾

Count how many times you said “I think” or “I feel” in this video. What gives you such authority?

In a recent 60 minutes interview Pope Francis exclaimed that man is morally good and so is his heart. Such a statement is diametrically opposed to what scripture teaches. (Luke 18:19) "No one is good except God alone." (Jermiah 17:9) "The heart is deceitful above all else and desperately wicked, who can know it." I wonder if Trent Horn will address the latest statements of the Pope. 🤔

A close friend of mine passed away recently, and I attended her funeral mass. She was a beautiful, kind woman of 93 years, and I loved her dearly. As soon as I walked thru the CC doors, I felt such an oppression come over me. A heaviness. I went through the procession line and greeted the family, saying my goodbyes to my dear friend. I took my seat, still feeling the heaviness on my chest. I mean, it’s a funeral, so a little anxiety is to be expected. When the mass started, the priest started talking about my friend, and how we all needed to pray for her soul and that we can only hope that she is in heaven, and that she had done enough in this life. The way he said it sounded so hopeless. I remember thinking to myself. “What is “enough”? Is there a list somewhere? I check off box that you can make sure that you’ve done enough? Is it in the Bible somewhere… a list of everything you have to accomplish before you die, to be saved? I guess if so, Jesus didn’t even have to come to Earth to shed His blood for us, if we can save ourselves by doing “enough”. I felt ill. Everyone was sobbing. I looked around. Up in the far right corner of the church was a huge statue of what appeared to be Joseph, holding a baby (Jesus?). In the far left corner another huge statue of a woman, which I assumed to be Mary. Over to the right of Joseph’s statue was a very tiny one of what appeared to be Jesus as an adult. In the front of the sanctuary… front and center, in HUGE stained glass, was the Pope. My eyes kept going back to Jesus… the tiny little, insignificant Jesus statue that was barely noticeable if you weren’t looking for it. I was looking for it, because Jesus is my everything. That said so much to me…. I love my friend who passed, but I hated her funeral. It was so depressing, and I couldn’t wait to leave. 😢

It breaks my heart to see, I believe is a good person? attempt to lead Christ's flock astray. Furthermore, the arrogance, that is so typical in the protester's heart, to believe that their enlightened knowledge is so far superior to 2000 years of Catholic dogma that encompasses the writings of the early Christians and include many of the theological giants of history such as Augustine, Equinas, Newman, and others. All of this in the context of ignoring the astounding miracles of Guadalupe, Fatima, Lourdes, Zeitoun, Eucharist, Shroud of Turin and the multitude of countless others too long to list. The likes of Macarthur, Sproul, and the subsequent generation of protesters like White, Par, Winger don't realize that their arrogance may be used against them in the day they face Christ. Similarly, their disobedience and misinterpretation of scriptures and the traditions of the early Christians opens them up to further potential censure from the Almighty. It is beyond my understanding how intelligent people that consider themselves scholars can be so unaware of history and ignore/misinterpret scriptures. Likewise, how can these self enlightened individuals ignore the above mentioned miracles that God has manifested in grandiose fashion? Has their arrogance and narcism completely blinded them? The Catholic church that has given humanity and preserved the bible for two millennia. Ignorance/arrogance/narcism disguised as enlightenment is so pervasive in todays culture that previous generations would be left astounded to see where we are as a civilization.

When are you going to debate Trent Horn, Jimmy Akin, or Joe Heschmeyer?

All these people joining the Catholic Church lately is crazy.

You should have a dialogue with Trent Horn. I think that would be interesting.

I am aware that today is the last day to sign up for Faith School, however in the future when the next session comes up, would we be able to sign up before it starts?

Thank you for the beautiful, inspiring message at the end instead of leaving it negative and condemning. We love fellow believers -- all believers -- but it is our duty to share truth even when it is hard, and I think you did so in an appropriate, loving way.

Pastor Parr, I am an ex-Catholic and an ex-nun. I agree with all of these and I would add the dogma of the immaculate conception of Mary. It lessens the power of the cross and elevates Mary to an almost goddess status.

I appreciate your charitable approach Allen, however I do recommend you engage with a Catholic apologist on these points, a lot your problems with these teachings come from misconceptions and a false perception of what Catholics believe rather than what Catholics actually believe. To address a few: - Catholics do not pray to the dead, they pray to the living in heaven. The overwhelming theme of scripture is that sin leads to death and Christ leads to eternal life, those who are saved (the Saints) thus aren't dead, they are arguably more alive than we are seeing as they are united with God. - There is no promotion or any such thing for Purgatory, purgatory is not a place. The doctrine of Purgatory is very simple: Christ cleanses us of sin on earth over time, we will be perfect and without sin in heaven, if one of the saved dies while still having sin, they will be cleansed after earthy death. The prayers do not "promote" anyone, nobody gets stuck in purgatory and requires promotion, it's just helps the cleansing process in the same way it's easier for two people to carry something heavy than one. The same thing is being done, it's just easier with the help of another. It is the exact same thing as when someone prays for someone when they are going through trials on earth, it is only the location that is different. To address your scripture quote, Hebrews 9:27 doesn't refute Purgatory, you are putting purgatory and judgement against one another when it is simply a term used to describe in greater detail what happens. Again, Purgatory does not change judgement at all, it is not a place. Someone who is damned is damned, someone who is saved is saved, if someone who has attachment to sin still lingering before death, they are still saved, and will be cleansed of that sin after earthly death (purgatory) to no longer be attached to sin in eternal life. I whole heartedly agree with you, if someone blew it, they blew it! Purgatory does not change that, it's simply a step in the process of salvation, it isn't some separate step or place for something else. Most Christians (whether they admit it or not) implicitly believe in Purgatory if they believe you can't achieve perfection on earth. You can't believe that perfection is impossible on earth, and that in heaven you will be perfect without somewhere in between you are made perfect. As for your implications on the canon of scripture, here is what the council of Rome in 382 mentions: “Now indeed we must treat of the divine scriptures, what the universal Catholic Church accepts and what she ought to shun. The order of the Old Testament begins here: Genesis, one book; Exodus, one book; Leviticus, one book; Numbers, one book; Deuteronomy, one book; Joshua [Son of] Nave, one book; Judges, one book; Ruth, one book; Kings, four books [that is, 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings]; Paralipomenon [Chronicles], two books; Psalms, one book; Solomon, three books: Proverbs, one book, Ecclesiastes, one book, [and] Canticle of Canticles [Song of Songs], one book; likewise Wisdom, one book; Ecclesiasticus [Sirach], one book . . . . Likewise the order of the historical [books]: Job, one book; Tobit, one book; Esdras, two books [Ezra and Nehemiah]; Esther, one book; Judith, one book; Maccabees, two books” (Decree of Pope Damasus [A.D. 382]). You shouldn't be so quick to discard the deuterocanonical books when they have always been a part of the Christian canon since as early as there was a Christian canon. It is very clear that it is Martin Luther and the reformers who removed those books, not Catholics who added them. Trent simply reaffirmed the canon that was always canon, and the early church writings very clearly endorse this. For transubstantiation, the real presence belief was believed since the beginning: Ignatius of Antioch: "“Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God. . . . They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes” (Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6:2-7:1 [A.D. 110])." As early as there were early church writings, there are writings affirming the real presence. Even the first reformers held to a view closer to transubstantiation than the baptist symbolic view. The overwhelming consensus view of the early church was that of the real presence, to the point where people who didn't who have been considered heretics in the early church. I suggest you also read from John 6:30 onwards, it becomes very clear that Jesus means to take what he says literally, when he genuinely quadruples down on the teaching. Of course the eucharist is not a literal bloody limb, the accidents remain that of bread and wine, but the substance is of Christ. The fact that this happens all during passover is even more telling. On sin, I think Romans 6 is pretty self explanatory. You list a number of sins after saying the conditions for mortal sin, I don't see exactly what is so controversial. If you deliberately take advantage of the poor knowing full well how evil the act is and decide to fully consent a do it anyways, I don't see how anyone can genuinely think that person is still saved. Hebrews 10:26-29 26 For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries. 28 A man who has violated the law of Moses dies without mercy at the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment do you think will be deserved by the man who has spurned the Son of God, and profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and outraged the Spirit of grace? Catholics do not believe in faith + works, it's very simply faith + love. If one does not live out his faith, they are not Christian, James makes this very clear, for even demons, who have a much more fuller knowledge of God's existence believe, and yet shudder. What makes someone Christian is not just intellectually believing, it's living out your faith. The big difference on this topic relates to justification. Whereas Protestants tend to hold the view that God declares you righteous, and is more of a legal declaration and a one time event, the Catholic belief is that God actually *makes* you righteous over the course of your life. It isn't just a legal declaration, by loving God and following his commandments, Christ is actually working through you to make you a more righteous person. This is really the key difference. Justification is synonymous with "saved" in Protestantism, whereas in Catholicism justification is synonymous with "righteous". Confession is linked to the gospels, by which Jesus gives his disciples the power to bind and loose sin. With the Catholic belief in apostolic succession, this is where this sacrament originates from. Once again, this is the historic view, even among the early reformers, this really is mostly a Baptist disagreement. Again, I encourage you to reach out and have a conversation with a Catholic apologist, a lot of your disagreements come from misconceptions, ones that have been addressed an innumerable amount of times by Catholic apologists. Jimmy Akins is a very charitable apologist who I think would love to sit down and chat about this and address everything you've brought up and clear up the misconceptions. I think you'd find out pretty fast that we have much more in common that you would've originally thought :) God bless you and I wish you nothing but the best!

This video should be retitled "The 7 False Teachings of Allen Parr," because this is not what the Catholic Church teaches.

Thank you brother Allen! The Lord has given you the ability to express His Word in a clear, precise and loving manner and thereby giving God great glory.

Glory to God! Well presented to us, our Brother Allen! Thank you for making it clear and easily digestible with a loving purpose. I pray that many will watch your video without offense, see God's love, and accept Salvation through faith alone - believing in Christ Jesus.

The Old Protestant against Jesus said, " This is Crazy" "How can this man give as his Flesh to eat"? Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Mr Allan, If you leaved in spirit of God, You wouldn't reject the Flesh and blood of Jesus as food enough and drink enough. Mr Allan you have to ask yourself which spirit is speaking in you? for there is no way the holy spirit of God would reject the Flesh and Blood of Jesus. for Jesus said this is my body and this is my blood.

Most Protestants disagree with you on Communion merely being a memorial.

I use to cremate people in a funeral home and one day a priest came to pray over someone I was about to cremate, I thought it was so strange since the person was already deceased.

Im.... saddened to see just how wrong you are here Allen, St. Ignatius of Antioch literally said this about the Eucharist in the early 2nd century (St. Ignatius knew St. John). “Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God. . . . They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes” (Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6:2-7:1 [A.D. 110]). Please get out of your echo chamber and actually speak to a knowledgeable Catholic Theologian like Jimmy Akin, Trent Horn, or Scott Hahn.

Commenting just for the sake of attacking the Catholic faith either because of lack of understanding of Catholic teachings or a mere ignorance.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Thank you, Brother Allen, great video ❤

I don't believe, but I really want to. I can't choose what to believe, so please pray for me.

Great episode as usual!! Pray for all of us and love my Catholic friends.

Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾 His grace and mercy be upon you and your loved ones 🕊️🥛🍯

Guess who rejected the Eucharist… it was the Gnostics who called themselves Christians too! Gnostics and docetists refused the Eucharist. And what about those who got sick and died taking the Eucharist. Paul wrote about this in 1 corinthians . Geez I guess you don’t know scripture do you, Allen?

It’s giving I don’t understand Catholicism, and I want everyone to know it.

I converted to catholicism from Calvinist and Lutheran protestant groups. I just watched Trent horns video response to this video and decided to watch the full original thing myself so that I got the full context. I think there were a lot of misconceptions in this video (like saying that Protestants treat the Lord's supper as a remembrance which is not the case for the magisterial reformers, a sort of equivocation on the doctrine of the real presence and transubstantiation, the translation being used in the video is not great since, for example l, "to him" does not appear in the Greek text of 1 John 1:9, etc) that are pretty easy to respond to. It seems like this video was responding to a Catholic statement of faith without taking into account the responses and nuances of these beliefs. I hope you're able to take up Trent's offer to do a discussion together.

I love watching your videos! The way you teach the word of God brings me peace of mind and also I have the opportunity to practice my English listening and reading! Sending you guys greetings from Brazil

Hi brother Allen can you do a video about the same topic but pertaining to Islam? I know people who are Muslim and I want to share with them the difference between what we believe in and what they believe in. Or do you know of a video or book that I can share?

My priest had us new parents attend a class before our babies were baptized. During the class, Father told us that if our babies died before they were baptized, they wouldn't be able to go to heaven but a place called "Limbo". I literally cried and begged God during the 2 weeks prior of my son being baptized, that he wouldn't die. I lived in fear those 2 weeks. Now, it absolutely infuriates me to think about that lie!!

I've never heard of anyone in the Catholic Church praying for the salvation of anyone who has died. Lighting candles and praying to remember a loved one is not praying 'God, he didn't believe but let him be saved.'

By Stating that saints in heaven cannot pray for us ,is a big fat contradiction to the belief in priesthood of all believers. If saints in heaven are alive in Christ Jesus they can hear our prayers. Read Luke 20:38He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive Revelations 5 8 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people.

you just got debunked by Trent Horn, please stop misrepresenting Catholicism.

Just a point of clarification. In Transubstantiation the bread and wine to not become the physical body and blood of Jesus. Rather they become the Real or substance of the body and blood. Physically they remain bread and wine.

Great job Brother Allen! May God bless you!

Greatly appreciate you Pastor Allen

I'm kinda surprised you didn't mention the sinlessness or immaculate conception of Mary

Allen, please greatly consider doing a dialogue or formal debate with Trent Horn on these teachings to help you understand what you got wrong and to help you better understand the Catholic Christian Faith. Trent is very charitable and knowledgeable about Catholicism.

As someone who never quite knew the different beliefs of Catholics, this was very informative. Thanks and God bless!

Thank you for this video brother Parr! It was very informative. Would you consider doing one on orthodox (Coptic, Russian, Jewish). May God continue to bless you!

Woo brother Allen ! Love your channel. Will you do anymore livestreams on a book(s) of the Bible

Trent Horn straight cooked this video, unfortunately, Allen will stay in his echo chamber and not address the rebuttals. He has no choice, he's built a platform on false doctrine and makes a living on it. If you're a non-catholic watching this video, I'd advise YOU to get out of your own echo chamber and watch Catholic vs Protestant debates and how Catholic apologetics straight cook every protestant ever (Trent Horn or Jimmy Akin cook extra hard) As a former atheist myself, a good friend of mine and the grace of God was able to open my eyes to the truth that God did in fact exist. He was a protestant and then tried to convince me that the Catholic church was evil, though instead of taking his word for it I looked into it myself deeply. Glory to God, that research led me back to the Mother Church, the Catholic church.

Peace and blessings my man. Have not started the video, however your first 2 points...i think youve discussed previously

Amazing !! God bless your life and gives you strength in the name of Jesus 🙏🏻

Why do Protestants continually bash Catholics?? If it were not for the Catholics there would be no Bible. Protestants were not even around for over a 1000 years. I would love to refute each point you make but I am weary. I think you are a wonderful and Godly man and Jesus is the focus not religion. We Catholics love Jesus and there is no other way to heaven but through Christ.

Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭ By grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.”

I just want to know what watch band you’re using in this video!

Come home to the Catholic Church. Hallelujah

*Point #1: Praying to the Saints* Catholics recognize that there is only one Body of Christ and that all believers are members of that Body. We ask those who have already run the race and won the prize (cf. 1 Cor 9:24) to pray for us who are still working out our salvation with “fear and trembling”. (cf. Phil 2:12) The saints are alive, not dead. (Mk 12:26-27) The saints are aware of our prayers and needs. (cf. Lk 15:10, Heb 12:1, Rev 5:8) The saints are righteous, and their prayers are effective. (cf. Rev 21:27, Jam 5:16) Scripture is silent on the question of asking saints to pray for us which is NOT necromancy. Therefore, we are free to do so. Since not all prayer is worship, asking the saints to pray for us is not worship.

There is Blessed Carlo Acutis (who's body is incorrupt)Ps 16:9-10 this only happens to those who receive and venerate the Holy Eucharist. See the website he created on Eucharistic miracles.

I find it convieniient that every single revelation and individual protestant has is correct even if someone else is just as convinced they have recieved that revelation. Truth is a colision, a coming together of many occurances that show the truth. I read the bible, gain revelation, confer with the church fathers who have been doing the same thing FOR MORE THAN 17 CENTURIES and come to the truth there.

The title is incorrect. It should be "My Protestant Views About Catholic Beliefs Not Taught in Protestants."
