Evangelicals, Do THIS When Talking to Catholics | Mike Gendron

[THE_DRAGONFLY_SEES_EVERYTHING]

This is unbelievably hypocritical and absolutely FALSE.

[christopherhennessey]

Shame on you .There is only one Catholic church and multitudes of protestant denominations.

[All-In-cxem]

A suggestion for what to do when talking to Catholics: Try some *humility.* Show some grace. What has always turned me off about evangelicals is exactly the arrogant, condescending attitude shown even in the title of this video. Then throw in the fact that we are routinely falsely accused of many things because so many evangelicals 'learn' about the Catholic faith from anti-Catholic bigots rather than going to the source and finding out what the Church *actually* teaches.

God the Father wants UNITY among His children. He wants us feeding the poor and visiting the sick and bringing Christ to *those who don't know Him.* Instead evangelicals spend their time and energy fighting their own brothers and sisters. It's very sad and surely does not show me any light of Christ that would induce me to join their brand of Christian faith.

Wait a second, are you saying you havent read the early church fathers? Surely you should at the very least check out what they said, so that you are fully informed? I used to be protestant but God moved me towards the catholic church and then I read the church fathers. It wasnt solely because of the early fathers, it was a spiritual transformation, but the writings of the church fathers are astonishing. You cant just dismiss what they say. The word of God is number 1 for sure, but the early fathers and what they have written supports the bible. There is nothing in the early fathers writings that contradicts the bible(except those who were found to be heretics). What they wrote backs up the word of God and it also confirms that the church is inherently catholic. I'm not saying that protestantism is a heresy but its not the complete picture, its missing a lot of pieces. I know this experientially. When i go to mass I feel God's presence in the catholic church, if I go to a protestant service the presence of God is not there, Im sorry to say. The difference between the two services is one is alive the other is flat and lifeless. The protestant service, on the surface is very demonstrative, and appears to be lively, but its not.

This well meaning pastor, does not know nothing about Catholic theology, not even on salvation Catholics believe that conversion and perseverance is all gods grace for instance.

[sinhchiem]

It is Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that have Save me from Suicide, Drug, Alcohol, Anxiety, Depression, and Sickness from Sins, HE saved me and fill me with a Spirit of Love, Strength and Sounded Mind, I live because of Him, because I can't saved myself, it is our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ that took me from the Dark in to the Light, Only our Lord Jesus Christ Saved, Religion don’t saved, Church don’t saved, only by believe in the SON of GOD who put Himself on the cross to died for mankind and it is His blood that atone for our Sins: Love Him and you follow His command, and He is now in Heaven with our Holy Father of the Heaven, Amen!

If you want to learn Catholicism, go to the celebration of the mass.

[ConnieAndrews-do]

You dont have a clue about catholic church. You need to study about the religion before you condemn it .. study with fr. James Blount he is in utube. Also any catholic priest..

[drylandsurfer]

Mike Gendron “ I don’t read the church fathers” because I might have to use my brain & that would be dangerous

[Sunshinee]

This guy has good intentions but is sadly mistaken about Catholicism.

[johnsor]

Mike did you ever stop to think you might be a great deceiver.

Scripture and Tradition Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food and My blood is true drink. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me and I in him" (John 6:53-56).

We all know that Jesus’ disciples struggled to accept his command to eat his flesh and drink his blood: “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” (John 6:60). Some of them even left him for it: “After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer walked with him” (v. 66).
We also know that Jesus recognized their difficulty: “Do you take offense at this?” (v.61).
Now, the question is, “Did Jesus attempt to ease the difficulty by clarifying their realistic understanding?”

Nothing but the Blood 🩸 of Jesus Christ can save you, praise be to God for sending his only begotten son Jesus Christ amen 🙏

[TruthHasSpoken]

Mike Gendron (and any other evangelical), if you want to talk and witness to practicing Catholics, you need to answer a few questions:

*1. Prove that your fallible interpretation of scripture is right, that Jesus - scripture - was speaking symbolically ONLY when saying :*
52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us *his flesh* to eat?”
53 So Jesus said to them, “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;
54 he who *eats my flesh* and *drinks my blood* has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For *my flesh* is food indeed, and *my blood* is drink indeed.
56 He who eats *my flesh* and drinks *my blood* abides in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so *he who eats me* will live because of me.

*2. Cite who in the first 1, 500 years of Christianity interpreted scripture as you do, that the bread and wine are symbolic or figurative ONLY?*
*3. Explain how could Christendom have error'd so fast, so universally on this point?*
*4. Explain why one should follow the fallible gospel of Mike and not all of Christendom for those first 1, 000 plus years?*
*5. Explain why one should not trust our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who said the Church is the Pillar of Truth, that the Church is the Bulwark of Truth, and that the Church is where the manifold wisdom of God is made known?*
*6. Explain how and why Jesus was undependable, and that he lied when he said that he would lead his church to ALL truth?*
*7. Admit that you are fallible*
*8. Admit that since you are fallible, you could be in error with your personal and fallible interpretation of scripture, and the Catholic Church right.*
*9. Explain how it is that you trust that your New Testament canon is right, when it was decided 100% by the 4th c Catholic Church, Catholic Bishops who would ALL disagree with your interpretation of scripture repeatedly?*

Jesus said, call no man Father except for he who is in Heaven..

[karollisa]

To every good and perfect thing from God, Satan creates a counterfeit. Everything perfect that God did to give us Salvation, the Counsel of Trent added something non-biblical to it.

[seanrathmakedisciples]

I was a Roman Catholic for 35 years and now I’m a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ and making other disciples on my journey with the Lord Jesus Christ forevermore ❤

[jotunman]

The Bible, as the very Word of God, is true in itself, but not all the conclusions people choose to draw from it are necessarily right.

[rwebb]

I listened to the whole thing and looked up Matthew 16 and your Bible does not read as mine. Your description of Mary's role in the church is not what I was taught or understood. When you criticize the use of the crucifix my understanding of it is different than yours. Your explanation of infallibility is just wrong, and you seem to be making stuff up. You seem to be very sincere but very confused. I would suggest stop condemning Catholics and others based on how you interpret the Bible as it seems very much like the sin of pride. Preach the Kingdom not the condemnation of others as I believe that’s a little above your pay grade and mine.
