Hello my friend, you know even that the Pope is a man chosen by JESUS CHRIST he is still a sinner (we all are sinners), remember St Peter committed sins when he was with JESUS CHRIST but still JESUS CHRIST chose him to be his representant in this world, and even if the Pope makes mistakes that doesn't change that the Catholic Church is the only Church of JESUS CHRIST, EVEN IF WE LIKE CATHOLICS WE FAIL THE CATHOLIC CHURCH NEVER GONNA FAIL, JESUS CHRIST says that the devil will try to destroy his Church but will fail, JESUS CHRIST Church will be until he comes again

@@cesareomartinez6582 yes. The WHOLE community chose Barabas over Jesus, so we can't be surprised by betrayal. Virtually everyone abandoned Christ except a holy remnant and he triumphed.

I would also encourage you to read The Benedict Option and ask the Lord to show you ways to build devout Catholic community right where you are. God bless you sister 🙏 ❤

Dear sister in Christ just remember, God said in the Bible the truth church will be tested but not even👹👿in hell cannot destroy it because who builds it is Jesus Christ, he have the power to protect it maybe the congregations Martin Luther makes.

@sylwianiespodziewana5767, Do you have a relationship with The Father andThe Lord Jesus Christ? Are you a Born again Christian?? If not, work on it.

What is the difference become a muslim or catholic??? Their believers are following the same god. Pls read the Bible (KJV) and search for the Truth and become a Born again Christian and visit a protestant Church.

I love Jesus too much to leave the Church He founded. God bless.

@niamhdempsey The Hail Mary IS biblical. “ Hail Mary, Full of grace, The Lord is with you” are the words spoken to Mary by the Angel Gabriel when he appeared to her to tell her of God’s plan for man’s salvation and her part in it. We are so blessed she assented! “ I am the handmaiden of the Lord, Let it be done unto me according to thy word.” Gospel of Luke The next part of the Hail Mary is also taken directly from the Bible- “ Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.” These are the words, per the Bible, spoken by Mary’s cousin, Elizabeth, St. John the Baptist’s mother. Remember, after the Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, Mary went with haste to her cousin Elizabeth because the Angel Gabriel told Mary that nothing was impossible for God, even her cousin Elizabeth who was thought to be barren, was expecting! When Mary approached, Elizabeth’s unborn child, John , later John the Baptist, leapt in the womb for joy! The rest of the Hail Mary is a simple prayer of intercession, “ Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen” Do you pray for others? Do you believe in everlasting life? Then why would we not pray for others when we get to heaven? God bless you as you ask questions and search for truth.

Also, Niamey, the mysteries of the Rosary are directly Biblical. As you meditate on the mysteries, you meditate on the stories in the Bible, The Annunciation, The Visitation, The Nativity, .... Jesus’ Agony in the Garden, Jesus’ Scourging at the Pillar, The Carrying of the Cross, etc..

@@NMDecember1 Where in the Bible does it say everything about Christianity has to be found in the bible? The bible itself says the Church is the pillar and bulwark of truth - 2 Tim 3:15. The bible is not the pillar of truth, the Church is. The catholic church was founded by Christ himself not your man made religion. Whole households were baptised in the book of acts. The centurion and his family, the jail keeper and his family and Lydia and her family were all baptised. A household is made up of spouses and their children and in biblical times was made up of three generations. The bible was made 400 years after the Church was established. When the early apostles evangelized there was no new testament because it did not exist as we know it today. How would they get Jews to recognise their messiah? Circumcision was the sign of the covenant between God and Abraham in the Jewsish tradition and males would be circumcised at 8 days old. How would you explain to a Jewish man that there is a new covenant brought by the messiah that is the fulfillment of the old covenant and then tell him they will all be saved except his baby? How is that better than the old? Anyway, Acts 2:29 I think expounds it a bit. We pray for the dead because we find that in the book of 2nd Maccabees. We are also told in the bible that the dead are more alive than we are; the book of revelation says they offer our prayers in Heaven and we are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses(book of Hebrews) which is the communion of saints. Read the didache. It existed and was in use before the New testament.

That's wonderful!

@@NMDecember1 so sure of yourself. I say all of the following with love. Catholics are the most Bible believing, because ya know, the church councils put together the Bible you know of today. The Catholic Church isn’t some church that hijacked the Bible. The Catholic Church, the church founded by Jesus on Peter, over centuries converted the sacred texts and scriptures into one book, the Bible. The rosary is biblical, the prayers are found in the Bible, but creating an easy method for people to pray them isn’t ok? Really? We pray for the dead because how are we to know the hearts of those who have passed? Only God can pass judgement, is it such a bad thing to pray for our fallen brothers and sisters? Why is that bad or against God? Would you consider it a crime to ask your friends to pray for you? Yes Jesus mentions hell many times, but pay attention to the context. He isn’t always meaning in the literal hell, and sometimes he is. It doesn’t say anything about there not being a “purgatory”. Don’t mistake purgatory for being a place as it not necessarily is, but we see it as a process to purify the heart. A process. Actually go to Catholicanswers.com and look up purgatory and you’ll see why we believe it. Yes Jesus’s sacrifice for us was sufficient alone, but why wouldn’t God have a way to more purify our hearts? You’re cherry picking verses for the sake of argument. I challenge you to do your own research instead of asking other people on KZfaq if you haven’t. Read the catechism, ask a priest some questions. Catholics are NOT “man made tradition heathens that use the Bible when it suits us”. We use the Bible in everything. The Bible is the basis of our liturgy, but where in the Bible does it say everything that God reveals to us has to be found in the Bible? Hope your quest for answers goes well, much love ❤️ God bless you

The entire Bible is based on the Catholic Church, because it existed first as a living Apostolic body which later preached the Word, later wrote letters, and much later canonized definitively a cohesive Bible of inspired books. A man- made church claims to be based entirely on the Bible, which is illogical and impossible, since the Bible is the written manifestation the pre-existent living Apostolic faith and Tradition. Wow

@@NMDecember1 wow thank you for your honesty and you perceive things in what you believe is true. But let me just ask you 1 question: why would believe the bible is even true when it came from the hands of the Early Church Fathers that compiled the Bible in the first place and they are the ones that taught the oral traditions to the Early Church before the Bible came out centuries later? To me it’s looks like you are contradicting yourself to say you believe the Bible that was compiled by the hands of the Early Church Fathers but you don’t believe the Early Church Fathers traditions of what practiced and taught the Early Church before Bible came out. You don’t make any sense to me because your logic doesn’t quite add up. How do you know that the Early Church Fathers wrote their own words instead of Gods words in the scripture? What makes you trust the wordings of the Bible when it was written and compiled by the Early Church Fathers that taught oral traditions firstly. Please go reevaluate what you are believing in as your logic does not add up or make any sense before you come on here telling me that I have been misguided or confused, hmmm looks like the confusion is in your own head, definitely not mine. You see I believe what the Early Church Fathers say about traditions because they were taught by Apostles the traditions and it says in the bible “ Hold fast to the traditions that have been taught to you by mouth” as there was no Bible yet until 300 AD. So not 1 priest back then had all the scriptures in 1 church because it the The Bible wasn’t compiled yet. So that’s why the Apostles had said that phrase to hold fast to traditions to the Early church by letters. If I didn’t believe in the Early Church Fathers oral traditions then I wouldn’t believe in the Bible either since it came from the same group of people. So tell me why do you believe the Bible is the correct word of God when it was compiled by the Early Church Fathers that also practiced oral traditions and taught it to the Early Church. Don’t you think before you talk? Or is your logic just not very logical?? I say this with love so you can have better understanding on the Catholic faith and why we believe what we do. Please research deeper and pray daily for the Holy Spirit to reveal more understanding to you since I believe you desperately need it. Since I can’t believe a word you say since your logic is just not logical enough for me or other Catholic for that matter. Please try to answer my question, I’ll be waiting. GodBless and have a nice day 🙏🙏🙏

As someone who grew up as a RC I really admire Martin Luther for speaking out against the RC and forming a true bible based church. There is so much man made and false doctrines in the RC like purgatory, praying for dead, praying to mary and saints. It makes me angry that they thought it was ok to sell indulgences. There is so much pride in the church. I believe the pope is the false prophet, he is not alligned with the bible and seems to be very pro environment and one world religion. I have heard of some protestants converting to catholic faith and it makes me sad. I believe anyone can be saved irrespective of denomination but it's very hard to grow in a none bible preaching church.

@@NMDecember1 God greatly used Martin Luther's passion for Truth. He set in motion a movement that made the Bible available for millions around the globe in every language possible. He did set out to do this but his faith paved the WAY for other reformers to have success. All he wanted to do was destroy the false doctrine of buying one's way out of purgatory - the demonic false gospel that filled the treasuries of Rome.

That statement is nonsense because many of the n.t. books were around and being either copied or passed around. Was there one bound volume? No not until the mid 4th century but the scrolls were certainly passed around. Early fathers like Origen and Tertullian cited the n.t. literally 1000's of times and they were both late 2nd to mid 3rd century well before any council.

@@ContendingEarnestly Yes they were passed around etc. and regarded as inspired because church said that they are inspired, because they had authority to do it. Just like later they had authority to canonize Bible.

@@Mila-kz8tt No, the rcc doesn't have the authority to do anything regarding Gods word. His word is inspired because first, He wrote it and secondly because it plainly says its inspired. The rcc can't even get the apocrypha right. You expect me to believe they can discern Gods word in other areas like inspiration?

@@ContendingEarnestly But God didn't write the Bible. He inspired people to writing it. What's clear about them being inspired ? Give me reason to believe that rcc canon is wrong and protestant canon is right if it's so evident. Does every book of the Bible claims their own inspiration ? Even if it was the case there are other writings that do the same but we don't regard them as such. So how you decide which one are inspired ?

@@Mila-kz8tt *But God didn't write the Bible. He inspired people to writing it.* Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. So, yes God wrote it. *What's clear about them being inspired ? Give me reason to believe that rcc canon is wrong and protestant canon is right if it's so evident.* A number of them were written during the silent years, the time between the close of the o.t. and the beginning of the new. There was no prophet at that time. So there was no one to say 'thus says the Lord'. They are called apocryphal for a reason. Look up the definition of the word. They were rejected by many including all the way up to the reformation by at least one cardinal, Cajetan. He rejected the apocrypha because Jerome did. Jerome rejected it in part because they are not in the Palestinian canon, nor were they included in the temple scrolls. *Does every book of the Bible claims their own inspiration ? Even if it was the case there are other writings that do the same but we don't regard them as such. So how you decide which one are inspired ?* Other gospels written post apostolic age would be rejected because the writing could not have been supervised by or written by an apostle. Not that the post apostolic era was free of false gospels. There were many claiming to be a new gospel but rejected out of hand by those like Irenaeus who said those gospels were compared to what they were already in possession of and they looked nothing like what was handed down to them by the apostles. Irenaeus didn't need a council or some infallible magesterium. He simply compared what he knew to be authentic and rejected the rest. Its not complicated.

The Catholic church is the church that Christ founded and the gates of hell will not prevail against it...despite its bad actors that have been in the church through the centuries. It's just like the nation of Israel in the bible, the Jews are still Gods chosen people and Israel is still Israel in spite of the bad actors they've had through the centuries. You have so many questions, I would strongly recommend that you go through Father Mike Schmitz's Catechism in a year podcast series. He answers ALL of these questions and so many more you probably didn't know you had. Lastly, God is present in the Catholic church. There is a real presence that those who are in His church know and understand. PLEASE keep praying and researching, the Holy Spirit will get you to where you need to be.

I know there are a lot of earnest Catholics but unless one is born again you can never get the understanding that comes from the Holy Spirit. That is why so many can't see how unbiblical 'some' of the catholic prayers are. Please read your bible and discover the full truth for yourself. Romans 10:17 - So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of Go.d. Check this great website out too www.aocnetwork.org/ Please understand I say this with love and grave concern for your eternal soul nothing else. You can be a true Chris.tian irrespective of denomination (but it can be hard to grow in a non full-bible believing and teaching church) but you must be born again #john316

@@NMDecember1 you have left a long post with many questions. If you truly want to know the answers I suggest you acquire a Catholic Bible. Luther removed 7 books of the Old Testament so your Bible is not the Bible that was used for 3/4 of church history before Luther and which Catholics still use today. You will find purgatory in Maccabees, a book removed by Luther because he did not agree with Church teaching on purgatory. He wanted to remove a number of books from the New Testament too. Once you have a Catholic Bible (here it is online if you prefer mycatholic.life/bible/) if you look at the Catholic Catechism www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_INDEX.HTM the Catechism will explain everything that we believe and where to find it in the Bible and why we believe it. I am assuming you are sincere and really want to know what the Church teaches. I would read exactly what we believe and why and not make any assumptions or get your answers from those who are not devout Catholics. Thank you my friend for your interest. May God richly bless you.

@@beautifulspirit7420 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLeWeN16u8jZonk.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e66co66a19a9gZc.html I recommend you check these out. The head of the true Christian church is not the Pope or Luther but Jesus. Eternity is a long time. There's no second chance to repent when you are dead. Praying you come to know the truth.

@@NMDecember1 thank you Niamh I already know the Truth, I know Him personally. May God bless you.

@@NMDecember1 could you please stop posting the same question over and over. We can read

I'm sorry you got such a poor response. By doctrine, according to the catechism, the Catholic church makes no assumption of who is in heaven or who is in hell. The church is adamant about leaving judgment to God. However, the Catholic church has an exhaustive canonization process. Look at it this way...if you have a loved one who lives a Christian life, then passes away, we who are left behind will assume they are in heaven. You are correct in the sense "how do we know?" No one really knows, but the Catholic church goes to exhaustive lengths to research every known detail of a potential saint before they are canonized. Also, the Catholic church believes that God is the God of the living, not the dead. We don't believe the saints are dead, but very much alive in heaven and are participating the great cloud of witnesses that surround us. Best wishes on your journey, follow the Holy Spirit and you won't go wrong.

@@davidcole333 Thank you for your response. I hear your explanation, however it is very hard to agree with. You are going with what man decides as being saved, humans look at the outside whereas God looks on the inside...thank you for your input, it was enlightening. Jesus said I go to prepare a place for you (John 14). No mention if heaven is ready for us, Stephen passed away, no mention of him in heaven. It has been allegedly said that God took 400 years preparing for Exodus, then another 400 years for the entry of Jesus. If Jesus is going to prepare heaven for us, it is clear that it will not be an overnight matter, it will take some time. When was heaven finished so we can occupy it?

Yes Jesus IS the Word. As is says right at the beginning of John

Why dont you cry. That is all you do but Catholics wah new diaper mommy. Man up. Stop trolling like a mental case

Catholic teaches you how to deal with those correctly

Demon apparitions? You have blasphemed and you falsely accuse. 1. We do not worship anyone except God 2. We do not have idols nor graven images. Why do you ignore scripture? God commanded Moses to make a statue of a bronze serpent, and in the Temple statues of ox, lions, angels, etc. 3. Souls do not die, and as Jesus taught, "all are alive". Saints (includes martyrs) souls are in heaven right now and carry our prayers up to God, as do the angels. Read: ▪Revelation 5:8 (Saints carry our prayers up to God) ▪Revelation 8:3-4 (Angels carry our prayers to God) ▪Revelation 6:9 (martyrs in heaven now) Tobit 12:12-15 (Arch Angel Raphael heard prayers and healed them). 4. Jesus built the Church (Catholic) upon Cephas (Aramaic means Rock and in English is Peter) with the foundation of the Apostles. One Church 2000 years ago, not over 45,000 different ones. 5. Jesus promised to send the Advocate (Holy Spirit) to guide His Church (Catholic) to truth (1 Tim 3:15 and the gates of hell shall never prevail against the Church (Catholic) Matt 16:18. 6. You need to stop persecuting Jesus's Church and spreading your demonic hatred. Repent. Learn facts and truth.

It is about God of course but it also states in the Bible that you should wonder off alone into the world without a flock supporting you as you never know what wolves are out there that are ready to attack the vulnerable lone soilders of Christ. God wants you to have relationship with people that have belief in him as that’s part of the joy of life and many blessings can come through friendship but you have to mingle with the righteous group that’s believing in the correct way of life, so that’s why people look for Church’s to befriend righteous people and worship together, as Christ says when there is 2 or more gathered in his name then there he’ll be in the midst of them. So there is nothing wrong with finding a good church to worship the Lord. You just want to make sure it’s the correct one. Catholic Church is the first true Church of Christ, cause without it you wouldn’t even have a Bible or you wouldn’t even know the Lord Jesus surely. The Catholics compiled the Bible and the traditions of the Early Church were passed on from the Apostles to the Early Church Fathers and then onto the Early Church. So there’s no need for you to believe the Bible is true if you can’t believe in the Early Church Fathers oral traditions since they are the ones who compiled the Bible together. Get your facts straight before opening up your mouth here amongst people that are much more educated and logical then you, otherwise your just embarrassing yourself. As I can see that your logic is not very logical. I’m sure many others can too that’s why they don’t reply to you, so please don’t feel like you’ve won any logical argument here. Research more deeply as i think you need it. GodBless 🙏🙏🙏

In my first line I meant you shouldn’t wonder off alone into the world. 🙏🙏🙏
