There Are No Catholic Bishops In The Bible

In this video I compare the office of the bishop in the Roman Catholic Church to the office of a bishop in the bible. The Roman Catholic Church has an unbiblical and illegitimate church structure and it is not the same church as the church that Jesus and the apostles established. The Roman Catholic Church is a fake and heretical church. It's an antichrist church as well because it seeks to replace Christ with a false Christ. But the office of "the bishop" in the Roman Catholic Church is completely unbiblical. The apostles established churches that had a plurality of bishops and one of the criteria for a bishop was they they be married and have kids. The Roman Catholic Church teaches that entire cities and regions can only have one bishop and that bishop can't be married. The Bible also teaches that bishops were voted in by the people but the Roman Catholic Church says the Pope must choose who will be bishop.

The moment i was reborn, the Holy Spirit of the Lord Christ Jesus showed me that the vatican, pope the whole religion really were advocating the exact opposite of Christs sacrifice and resurrection. I was filled with an enormous righteous anger of this ugly betrayal of the Lord. My rebirth was on 1-1-2021 and it took me 3, 5 years to understand that the only thing i need to do is spread the gospel, and leave the wrath to Christ. God bless! Christ is King. Awaiting the heavens opening up with joy.

How Jesus Found Me

I didn't grow up in a "Christian home" like most people think but in fact grew up in an ultra Roman Catholic home.

My home was very religious and will go to the Saint Ignatius Roman Catholic church every Sunday.

I was baptized as an infant at a RCC.

However, I never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ presented from the Scriptures at that RCC.

It was so mechanical, dead and empty to me like I had to do it just to be “right with God.”

Every year I’ll do Lent and Ash Wednesday.

I would pray the Rosary, suffered Meatless Fridays, Easters and Christmas Masses.

(On December 11, 2008, my late father died of advanced lung cancer he went flatlined right in front of me and my mother he is now with Jesus in Heaven.)

As a child almost every night my drunk late father will come home and beat on my mother mercilessly.

And one day me and sister came home from school and found our mother on the kitchen floor with blood pouring out her head.

I hated my late father and over time my hatred towards him grew and wanted to kill him.

I still remember my mother lighting candles with images of the Pope, saints and angels she bought at the supermarket and throwing "Holy Water" through out the house.

(Every Sunday at Saint Ignatius Church she will fill her jar from a tap near the entrance way)

One night my late father came home drunk and threw one of the candles at my poor mother. Thank God he missed and hit the screen of a heavy TV in the living room.

(In her own mind she believed the holy water protected us from the evil in our home and will go away)

Now there was a Pastor by the name of Mr.Court.

Every Friday night he will come to our house and invite us to his church home for Bible Studies.

I truly believe that's where the seeds of the Word of God were planted in my heart

But without my parents and him knowing I was really an emotional atheist.

I was very angry at God and hated Him especially because I was molested by a next door neighbor and it messed up my sexuality.

May Abba Father forgive them!

I was also a homosexual and later bisexual!

I practiced both sexual immoral practices that were sending me straight to Hell.

Fast forwarding!

In my teenage years, I’d hang around with the wrong crowd of people and from there began going to parties: drinking, doing drugs and got into the occult.

I broke the law and paid for my crimes!

Now I loved going to the library(I'm a book worm) but it lead me to the occult because I was curious about magick, Wicca, Casting Spells, Curses, Hexes, Jinxes, Voodoo, Tarot Cards, Palm Reading and Satanism.

I was a strong follower of Anton LaVey and Alester Crowley.

Crowley said: “Do What Thou Wilt”

I lived that Satanic philosophy for years!

I still remember as a Satanist tearing a Bible into pieces and spiting upon it as I was blaspheming God, Jesus Christ, born again Christians and the Bible.

So I put into practice those things and invited demons into my life and they will torment me each night and had nosebleeds.

(I can sometimes hear their ugly voices but rebuke them IN JESUS NAME)

This went on until I was 16-21 and later left the occult for Evolution and the Big Bang Theory.

That was when I became a harden intellectual atheist and each time God's servants crossed my path will ask them questions that will make them think and question their own faith.

I will mock God, Jesus Christ, the Bible and Body of Christ.

So they would walk away each time and if I saw them today I will forgive them.

Now this is my preconversion:

It was one late night, my mother and younger brother were sleeping in her bedroom and I was in the living room sleeping on the couch.

It was pitch dark and laying down on the couch and started praying to God(strange right?).

I don’t recall the exact words but when I ended the prayer “In God’s name Amen” I heard the most beautiful voice out of nowhere whisper:



I got so freaked out that pulled the covers over my head and frighten said:

“Okay God, you win you win. In Jesus name I pray Amen.”

After I couldn’t sleep that night and later I began reading the Bible and did research on it if it was true.

I read about archaeological discoveries, Biblical Prophecy and Jesus Resurrection.

I was convinced but only intellectually not internally.

Internally came later at the apartment my older sister once lived at.

At age 21, my sister would come over every Friday to my home and will invite me and my younger brother to her house to stay for the weekend.

She is a very nice woman of God that loves Jesus!

Every time she would put on Christian music and would listen to it but one summer afternoon on June 1999 I heard a preacher come on.

(To this day I know God predestined me to listen to the Christian song, a nameless preacher then another Christian song. Sorry I don't know his name)

The preacher started talking about Jesus Christ how much He loved me by dying upon the Cross for my sins, being buried in the Tomb and resurrecting on the third day in bodily form.

(Now in my atheist mind I thought it was stupid for a man named Jesus Christ to suffer a beating from evil men and then nailed upon the Cross for my sins)

Later, he talked about the burden of guilt and shame that is upon our shoulders and that only Jesus can remove it.

It was as if God was talking directly to me so I continued listening.

He offered an altar call but I resisted the Holy Spirit my sister was with me and said:

"Give your life now to Jesus Christ"

And told her: "Maybe this is all a lie because since God created Satan they are in cahoots. They're on the same page"

She told me:

"God didn't create Satan but Lucifer. Lucifer was a good angel in Heaven but decided by his freewill to become evil and God changed his name to Satan"

She kept on encouraging me to leave my life of sin and come to Jesus by faith.

I denied Jesus twice but at the third time the Holy Spirit touched me in a very powerful way I'll never forget.

So powerful I fell on my knees with my face to the ground and began crying out profusely to God.

I confessed every sin to God I can think of and asked Him to forgive me.

That I repented of all my sins.

Believe what Jesus did for me upon the Cross for my sin debt taking the just punishment we deserve upon Himself.

His burial in the Tomb and His resurrection on the third day in bodily form.

To filled me with the Holy Spirit and to make me the person He wants me to be all the days of life.

That I want Jesus to be my LORD and Savior and to put my faith and trust upon Jesus Christ for my salvation alone.

To give me a clean conscience and write my name in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

I don’t know what happened next but it was like a huge rock weighting tons lifted off my shoulders and a strong sense of peace came upon me.

I still have that peace with me today because I’m at peace with God and no longer His enemy like I once was.

I'll never forget that day for the rest of my life because on that day I surrender my life completely to God.

I forgot the song after the preacher ended his message it was Christian song that goes something like this:

is power in His name

is power in His name"

Just looking back at it now brings tears to my eyes!

Even as a kid, before reading the Bible and before coming to faith;
Learning about the Catholic Church,
I immediately noticed that it is a roleplaying religion that just reskinned the Jewish Sanhedrin with Christianity.
And after coming to faith in Jesus, and getting into studying Scripture, history, religions, theology, apologetics;
The Catholic Church looks like . . . A silly religion that reskinned the Sanhedrin with Christianity.
Catholicism is an insult and mockery to the simple Gospel.

[rochelleb]

It's clear you have the Holy Spirit. It's clear you've studied and show yourself approved by God! Wow Bro Caleb, excellent, excellent and knowledgeable video. You better go boy! God's word is awesome how fortunate we are whose sins he will NOT let me repeat will NOT COUNT AGAINST HIM! YAAY GOD!!

[BloodBoughtMinistries]

It was always very obvious that the roman Catholic church is not biblical when studying the bible.

[Mzansi]

The problem with the singularity of bishop is it creates a strict hierarchy; i.e. all the power is in the hands of one person. That is the definition of fascism.

[andrewmarshall]

Former Roman Catholic here (EME, lecter, asked to consider becoming a Deacon). Emperor Constantine made a very deceptive move when forcing everyone to become "Christians" in Rome. Even in Biblical times, we are warned to call no earthly man "father" because our Father is in Heaven. Most Roman Catholic balk at everything that the Bible says because the Vatican (i.e. means "divining serpent" in Latin, not to mention the papal audience hall being designed after the head of a snake) attempted to corrupt Christianity. Ask any Roman Catholic how to be saved according to Scripture and you will get a blank stare. When Jesus died, one of the thieves next to Jesus accepted Jesus as the Messiah and was told that he would be with Jesus in paradise that day. No purgatory, just belief in Jesus. The other thief mocked and rejected Jesus, and is in Hell.

The Roman Catholic deception is very cunning, and I am thankful the Lord gave me an appetite for Scripture. When Jesus says "I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life, no one comes to the Father but through me" (John 14:6), this flies in the face of RCC doctrine and how they view Mary as "co-mediatrix" or "co-redemptrix" with Jesus Christ. If someone believes that, they are blaspheming Jesus Christ, the son of the Father, because they are saying Jesus completed work isn't enough when He said "it is finished". Jesus fulfilled the law, and the temple veil was torn in two. The RCC is attempting to bring everyone back under the umbrella of the Vatican, and they will or you will perish during the end times.

Finally, and most importantly. How is one "saved" according to Scripture? It is found in 1 Cor. 15:1-4, and more succinctly in John 3:16. So many organizations, not just the RCC, attempt to pervert the Gospel and tell you that Jesus' finished work on the cross is not what saves you. The RCC is anathema, and I would implore anyone to come out of her as quickly as possible. If you want to know how to live the Christian life...read 1 John. There is not talk about man-made (i.e. pagan) traditions, sacraments, or any "work" that we can do to receive the gift of eternal life.

1 Tim 2, 5-6

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

I noticed the picture of the video just now. It makes people angry but it's true. They get nice strange Jesus mixed with some wine and water they are not even allowed to drink.

Anyway, I remembered I was in the hospital, already born again. Priest came to give communion to my roomate, and I knew him.

So he put his hand on my head, I got so scared of what he was praying in silence but I was weak. I made a sin of going against my free will that wanted his hand far away. Afterwards my life fell apart.
I rebuke all the influence of his prayer over me and my daughter, in the name of Jesus, the end!

[christclinger]

Awesome video!! The authorities and their beliefs of the Catholic Church are so similar to the Sanhedrin of old. Not so much in their theology but in their “traditions of men” of which they were rebuked by Jesus for.

[devadasn]

Here come Catholics to not even listen to the video and leave comments

[catmckiernan]

Hi Caleb, peace be with you.
I don't really know WHY I'm sticking my head above the parapet here - some of your words, and those of your subscribers, are very feisty. I never reply to anything lke this but I just felt driven.
I am a 61 year old born into the Catholic faith. After spending 40 years as a die hard atheist (having turned away from the church in my late teens) I was called to follow Jesus 18 months ago and haven't looked back. Even though I don't particularly feel strongly about the Catholic religion, I feel incredibly strongly about my faith. That is, quite simply, my love of God, my passion for Jesus.
Unfortunately, I can no sooner walk away from my Catholic roots that fly to the moon. I don't wholeheartedly agree with Rome, but that's organised religion for you. I trust my heart, the teachings of Jesus and the guidance I receive from God. For example; I don't consider WORKS as something that acts like a spiritual 'passport' into heaven. One should surely be practicing works simply as a daily way of life. Living life offering support, help and good deeds wherever needed. Surely we, as Christians, should all be living that way regardless of religion? I don't think it benefits anyone to profess faith in Christ but then maybe foster mean-spiritedness at times as well. Vitriolic discourse is hurtful and destructive. I once read of someone having a NDE, and they asked the guide they met which was the best religion. The response was: the religion that brings you closest to God. Irrespective of whence it came, I found that very profound.
I think you could be an amazing teacher of scripture, you are passionate and have immense knowledge. Instead your posts seem to generate ill will and discord among subscribers. In today's world more than ever, I believe people should unite and pray together for God's guidance.
Please can people not reply if your thoughts are not from the heart. I am a Catholic and worship only God. I accept Jesus as my saviour and have no false idols. Everything all of us do is for God, and by his design - which is I guess why I wrote this message instead of just clicking away.
Caleb, I love you and want nothing but the best in life for you, but please try to be be less judgemental. That said, we are all a work in progress. Take care and God bless, Cat ✝️

[roses]

I love pastors who are spirit led!
True pastors > priests😊

[Ancient-Paths]

Thank you Caleb for giving a very detailed and definitive answer to the question of bishops in the RCC. God bless you.

[raphaelfeneje]

Love this recent series. To be deep in history, is to cease to be non Protestant.

[Leonard-tdrn]

Paul did not say bishops had to be married. The early church was small and in hiding. Of course it had to adapt as it grew. We would still be hiding in catacombs if we adopted these views

[bughttun]

I like hot the thumbnail of this video features an excommunicated bishop in the foreground. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

[tedtan]

Catholic Church is one of the seven churches. It has the doctrine of the Nicolaitans.
The typology of churches in Book of Revelation.
1. GET OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE
2. HOLD FAST TO WHAT IS TRUE
*** Your role is to call them out. Be wise as serpents and gentle as doves. I hang out with Catholics, and show them prophecy unfolding to somehow prove the church they are in is ASLEEP.

[DontYouWantToLiveForever]

Further to mention, Peter was never a bishop in Rome. His church was in New Babylon, a settlement by mainly Jewish followers of Christ.

1 Peter 5:13 NASB95
She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, and so does my son, Mark.

[tigers]

They say Peter was the first pope but yet he had a mother in law so that would me he had a wife and probably had children. So why can they not marry when the first one was?

[sunnyjohnson]

Among the earliest deviations of true worship was a separation between the terms “overseer” (Greek: Episkopos) and “older man or elder” (Greek: Presbyteros) so that they were no longer used to refer to the same position of responsibility. Just a decade or so after the death of the apostle John, Ignatius, “bishop” of Antioch wrote: “See that you all follow the bishop [overseer], as Jesus Christ follows the Father, and the presbytery [body of elders] as if it were the Apostles.” Ignatius thus advocated that each congregation be supervised by ONE bishop, who was to be recognized as distinct from and having greater authority than, the presbyters, or older men.
