Are Catholics Christian

Christians are not Catholic

[richlyredeemed]

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and not of yourselves, it is that gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast Ephesians 2:8-9 NASB God bless ✝️✝️✝️

[gregattanasio]

I grew up Catholic, the seed to Love Jesus was planted there.People who i work with who are Catholics ask questions all the time, , , , so in short don't be afraid of Catholics, know your Bible and be a Good Witness.. The Harvest is Ripe....Peace Yall

[beehive]

Thank you brother, I left Rome years ago and I rejoice every day in His unending grace and love for saving me! I know many, many former Catholics who are also filled with joy and security in Christ who are continuing to tell others of His all sufficient sacrifice for them! PTL!

[cristoferchanimak]

I think it’s important to note the difference between defining Christian as in some way meeting specific faith based criteria to be truly a “Christian, ” and defining it as the movement and religious direction that followed from, and resulted from, Christ.

I was raised Evangelical Lutheran and still espouse the same beliefs today. My upbringing was very much a Word of God approach to the Bible. In catechism teaching as a teen, we were explicitly taught all the reasons Martin Luther broke from the RC Church. The differences between a true protestant and RC beliefs are astounding and not just small differences. From the sacraments, to Mary to Salvation! Thanks for the video. God Bless 🥰

[JoshuaTheLeast]

I really appreciate your videos. You do a great job of relying on scripture which many people won’t do in these days. God bless you brother.

I grew up in an Irish, highly Catholic community (the Catholic church was the backbone of the community). Back in the day, Catholics would refer to themselves as "Catholic" or even "Roman Catholic" if they were of a certain age.
I had never heard a Catholic refer to themselves as a Christian, until about 15 or so years ago. It actually stumped me the first time I encountered it, and wondered why they were suddenly calling themselves this.

[jamesbishop]

Corey, how can someone be “more catholic than Christian”? That’s like someone being “more black than human”.

The Catholic Church is a continuation of the early Christian community established by the disciples.

At 5:00, you misrepresented Bishop Barron. He did not say faith alone plus extra works for SALVATION. He said an increase of JUSTIFICATION can occur through cooperation. Is he wrong when he says we have a choice to cooperate with the grace in our lives? Because I think you’d argue that you can be saved and still choose to either sim or live righteously.

Anathema does not mean “damned”. In church documents, it refers to a style of excommunication, specifically done with a ceremony. They were a disciplinary measure to someone who’s committed an offense.

It seems your main issue with Catholicism is the church’s denial of salvation through faith alone. But you claim that the Bible teaches that once you believe, at that exact moment, you gain eternal salvation. Well, according to Catholicism, you MUST believe. Even if there are stipulations afterwards, believing comes first. Therefore, Catholicism leads to salvation, with unnecessary works (according to you) afterwards.

If Catholicism is not Christianity, what was going on in the first 1000 years after Jesus death? Were those in 107 AD in Antioch under Ignatius unsaved??

[godsaves]

Thank you for explaining that so clearly

[Steve-nmqy]

I was raised catholic. Then I actually READ the word of God for myself when I was about 18. I am now a Christian. The two are as different as night is from day

[tedwelsch]

Catholism is Christianity and vice versa because the religion came from Christ. Whom also passed the keys to Peter, the first pope. Catholism started with Christ while every other "Christian religion" started with someone who thought they knew better.

*R Church is preaching another gospel altogether.*
*nt Church of the Bible did not have Roman pontiff neither Roman priests, neither did Apostles pray to dead saints or Mary, neither did Apostles and Jesus make statues for Mary and saint .. Neither bow down to statues .. Neither Roman unholy water, neither sinless Mary, neither veneration of skulls bones tongues ... So where are all these man made doctrines of Rome in the Bible? Neither all the below man made doctrines! Wonder where they come from?*

​*There was never a Catholic Church in the Bible.*
*There was never a R Catholic Church in the Bible.*
*There was never a Catholic in the Bible.*
*There was never a Roman Catholic in the Bible.*
*There was never a R Church pope in the Bible.*
*There was never a R Church priest in the Bible.*
*There was never a R Church cardinal in the Bible.*
*There was never a R Church sinless Mary in the Bible.*
*There was never a R Church unholy water in the Bible.*
*There was never a R Church penance in the Bible.*
*There was never a R Church purgatory in the Bible.*
*There was never a R Church canonised saint in the Bible.*
*There was never an Nt believer who made or bow down to statues in the Bible.*
*There was never an Nt believer who prays or received prayers from passed saints or Mary in the Bible.*
*There was never an ecumenical council with bishops of all churches that decided the canon in history*

*If you can find one example in the New Testament I will give you a lollipop.*


*nt church of the Apostles did not have such practices. Answer me: did apostles make and bow down to statues? Did Apostles ask passed on saints to pray for them? Or sprinkle "holy" water on believers? Or wore fishhead hat and costumes? Or cite hocus pocus when they serve the communion? They merely broke bread and passed around the table. Did they demand believers to kneel in front of them to serve them communion? Or did Peter ask believers to kiss his hands and feet? Or did Apostles venerate statues, bones or relics?*

*You do see clearly it all came from practices of believers after the Apostles - which Rcs claimed its from early writings. They had already deviated from the Apostles and Jesus. What Rcc called doctrines were merely partly traditions of errant believers + partly its own self traditions. Totally not from Jesus and Apostles at all.*

[IronMatt]

Great way of breaking it down. Thanks, going to share.

[tylerdyson]

Were save by both faith and works. Faith without works is dead. Without faith it is impossible to please God.

If I weren't Catholic, I'd look for the Church that the world despises, for the world despised Jesus, and he would be there. - Fulton Sheen
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; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me.". Things seemed to be going pretty well. That is until Jesus said “For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.” This was too much for many of his disciples and “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Jesus turns to the 12 and asks, “Will ye also go away? Vs 61, Jesus did not back down, for He said, "Does this offend you?" it offends protestants

Jn 20:21, "As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."
Jn 17:18, "Even as thou hast sent Me into the world, so I have sent them into the world."
Jn 17:22-23, "And the glory that thou hast given Me, I have given to
Matt. 28, 18-20: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye, therefore. and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Jesus says to the crowd, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved." But in reference to the same people, Jesus immediately follows with "He who does not believe will be condemned." This demonstrates that one can be baptized and still not be a believer. This disproves the Protestant argument that one must be a believer to be baptized. There is nothing in the Bible about a "believer's baptism."


"Accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, " or "Ask Jesus into your heart" isn't the biblical answer.

It’s important to be saved from hell, damnation, and the stain of original sin, but what are we saved for? We are saved for union with Christ. Our salvation began when we were born again through baptism and God’s own Divine Life was restored in our souls, making us like Adam and Eve were in the Garden before the Original (first) Sin. As we go through life, we are united with Christ through the Sacraments he left as gifts for us, especially through Penance (forgiveness of our sins committed since Baptism) and the Eucharist (partaking of God’s own Life, His own Divine Nature, 2 Peter 1:4) – until that day when we are truly united with Him in heaven.

Scripture teaches that one’s final salvation depends on the state of the soul at death. As Jesus himself tells us, "He who endures to the end will be saved" (Matt. 24:13; cf. 25:31–46). One who dies in the state of friendship with God (the state of grace) will go to heaven. The one who dies in a state of rebellion against God (the state of mortal sin) will go to hell. (For the teaching on venial (non-deadly) and mortal (deadly) sins, see 1 John 5:16-17)

What I must do to be saved:

*I must be baptized with water and the Spirit. Mark 16:16, John 3:3-5, Titus 3:5, I Peter 3:20-21. (Exceptions: [1] If I desire Baptism but die before I can be baptized with water and the Spirit, God accepts my desire to be baptized, and [2] If I am killed (martyred) because of my faith, but I have not had the opportunity to be baptized, God accepts my death as my baptism, called the Baptism of Blood).

* I must do the will of God the Father. Matthew 7:21

* I must keep the Commandments of God. Matthew 5:19-20, Matthew 7:21, Matthew 19:17, 1 Timothy 6:14, and others.

* I must accept the Cross (suffering). Matthew 10:38, Matthew 16:24-25, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23, Luke 14:27. Phil 1:29, and others.

* I must be a member of God's true church. Acts 2:46-47.

* I must confess my sins. James 5:16, I John 1:9, John 20:19-23

* I must heed the words of St. Peter, the first Pope. Acts 11:13-14, Acts 15:7.

* I must eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus Christ. John 6:51-58, I Corinthians 10:16-17, 11:23-30.

* I must do unto others as I would have them do unto me and love my neighbor as myself. I must feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, visit the sick and those in prison or give other aid to those in need. Luke 10:33 ff, Mt 25:31-46. "Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are very pleasing to God" Hebrews 13:16. Good works don’t save us, but we will be judged by them.
*I must strive to be holy. "Strive for peace with everyone and for that holiness without which no one will see the Lord." Hebrews 12:14
*I must endure (persevere) to the end. Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13, Mark 13:13.
And ... ? What else must I do?


#432 The name "Jesus" signifies that the very name of God is present in the person of his Son, made man for the universal and definitive redemption from sins. It is the divine name that alone brings salvation, and henceforth all can invoke his name, for Jesus united himself to all men through his Incarnation, so that "there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

@bornbranded29 *I love your tales. 95% of R Church doctrines did not come from Jesus or Apostles or Scriptures. So how can everything be biblical? It is clear you do not read the Bible.*

*​95% of Rc doctrines were unheard of in 1st century and not from traditions of Jesus and Apostles or Scriptures or contradicts Scriptures! Nt Church of the Bible had not heard or practised any of these Rc doctrines.*

1. Purgatory 2. Confessing to priests 3. Office of pope or priests4. Pope being the vicar (representation of Christ, usurping the authority of God)5. Praying to Mary, saints6. Penance 7. Worshipping idols/images, placing idols images in church8. Church in the Bible is not building, but the body of believers9. Sacrament was never the real body and blood of Christ as RC church claimed (Real meaning real blood and body, bcos it didnt really turned "bloody" did it?)10. Salvation by (works (7sacraments) +faith) was never in the Bible. Real salvation is by grace through faith as seen in Bible. 11. Rosary, set repetitive prayers, hail Mary 10000 times12. Mass - putting Christ on the altar again and again13. Mary as queen of heaven 14. Mary as Ark of the new covenant. 15. Mary as the mother of heavenly Jesus thus Mary exist before Christ16. Immersion of infant for baptism17. Holy water18. Celibacy of priests (no office of priests in NT anyway, only priesthood of all believers)19. Kissing of statues20. Changing of 10 commandments. COmmandment of graven image removed by Catholic CHurch in Catholic Catechism. Splitting of another commandment into 2 commandments. 21. Catholic church changed Bible verse Gen 3:15 (And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel."). 'He' and 'His' referring to Christ.
Catholics changed it to (Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; She shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise Her heel.") 'She' and 'Her' refers to Mary. 22. Catholic Church use Rev 12 to refer to Mary as 'queen of heaven', when Rev 12:6 clearly refers to Israel escaping the Great Tribulation. Mary cannot be alive to escape the Great Tribulation. 23. Catholic Church refers to Mary as 'Queen of heaven', but 'Queen of Mary' in the Bible is a demonic entity Astoreth or Ishtar, the female deity partner of Baal. 5 verses in Jeremiah as proof.24. Catholic church refers to Mary as the Mediatress, Co redemptress, helper of Christ, firstborn of all creation ..
Mary cannot be the mediatress. Jesus is the one and only Mediator between God and man. Only Jesus redeems. Only the Holy Spirit is the Helper sent by Jesus. Only Jesus is the firstborn of all creation. 25. Roman Catholicism has “saints” one can pray to in order to gain a particular blessing. For example, Saint Gianna Beretta Molla is the patron saint of fertility. Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of animals. There are multiple patron saints of healing and comfort.
Nowhere is even a hint of this taught in Scripture. Just as the Roman pantheon of gods had a god of love, a god of peace, a god of war, a god of strength, a god of wisdom, etc., so the Catholic Church has a saint who is “in charge” over each of these and many other categories. Many Roman cities had a god specific to the city, and the Catholic Church provided “patron saints” for cities as well.26. Mary is called the gate of heaven? Mary has keys to paradise?
Here are roman pagan teachers saying their man made goddess is their savior. None of these quotes have been denounced, on the contrary they are cited.
"Open to us, O Mary, the gate of Paradise, since you have its keys! " St. Ambrose
"God has entrusted the keys and treasures of Heaven to Mary." St. Thomas Aquinas
"No one can enter into Heaven except through Mary, as entering through a gate. " St. Bonaventure
"Mary is called "The Gate of Heaven" because no one can enter Heaven but through her means." St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori

​ @J Good *Your lack of knowledge is hilarious. How does misquoting 1 verse proves two third of NT is wrong? Two third of NT says Salvation is Not by WOrks (Faith Alone doctrine). WHy is that so?*

*ROman ct members love misrepresenting Christian doctrines. Faith Alone doctrine does come with good works. Eph **2:10**, James 2, 1 Cor 13, Gal **5:22**. But that's after one is saved. Saved to do good works. Not do good works to be saved.*

*Two third of NT says Salvation is Not by WOrks (Faith Alone doctrine).*
Luke 23:43 - the thief at the Cross believed in Jesus and he was in Paradise thereafter. NOT WORKS! John 1:29 - Christ the Lamb of GOD who takes away the sins of the world ... (NOT OUR WORKS) John 3:16 - saved by believing in Jesus. NOT WORKS! Acts 16:30-31 - saved by believing in Jesus. NOT WORKS! Rom 4. Vs 1-2 - justified NOT BY WORKS! Vs 3 - Abraham believed (FAITH) and was accounted as RIGHTEOUSNESS. Vs 4 - WORKS are debts . Vs 5 - he who DOES NOT WORK is JUSTIFIED . Vs 5 - God justifies the ungodly, Vs 5 - FAITH was accounted as RIGHTEOUSNESS. Vs 6 - Blessedness Apart from WORKS! Imputation of RIGHTEOUSNESS by FAITH. Vs 8 - imputation of RIGHTEOUSNESS apart from WORKS! Vs 9-10 - Abraham was made RIGHTEOUS BY FAITH BEFORE ANY WORKS! Vs 9-10 - Abraham received seal of RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE FAITH by imputation. NOT WORKS! Vs 11 - Promise to Abraham was through RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE FAITH. Vs 14-15 - Faith is made void by works of the law, works of the Law brings Wrath, Not salvation. Vs 22 - Abraham believed (FAITH) and was accounted as RIGHTEOUSNESS . Vs 22 - RIGHTEOUSNESS imputed on those who believed. Not those who WORKS! Rom 11:6 - IF IT IS WORKS, IT’S NO LONGER GRACE . 2 Cor 5:21 - GOD made Jesus who knew no sin to become sin for us, that we might become the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. Gal 2:16 - not justified by WORKS OF THE LAW, BUT BY FAITH IN JESUS. BY WORKS OF THE LAW, NO MAN IS JUSTIFIED! Gal 2:21 - if RIGHTEOUSNESS comes through the law, then Christ died in vain. Gal 3:1-5 - Paul said Christians who started by faith, why end up following WORKS of law (not only Mosaic laws)? Are you made perfect by flesh (WORKS)? Gal 3:1-5 - Did God do miracles by your faith believing or by your WORKS of law? Eph 2:8-9 - saved by grace through faith NOT BY WORKS. Eph 2: 8-9 - salvation is a GIFT. NOT WORKS! 2 Tim 1:9 - saved NOT according to our WORKS. Titus 3:5 - saved NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. 1 Pet 2:24 - Christ (the Lamb of GOD) bore our sins … (NOT OUR WORKS).


you said
What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him?† 15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and in lack of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled, ” without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

[Lawrence-wvfo]

I want you to do a video on what makes the Bible the Word of God.

[hellenicboi]

I stopped listening when he said the sacraments are unbiblical. Truly a lost man.

[kimwestwood]

I know this topic will ruffle some feathers. I have had countless debates with devout Catholics and they do NOT budge from their position on doctrine. I wish more people were as informed about biblical doctrine as the Catholics are about their man made doctrine. God bless you brother knowing that speaking the truth will bring attacks
