Why Can't You Just Go To Jesus?

- it is a basic Christian understanding that Christians should pray for each other, and that it is ok to ask other Christians to pray for you. In fact I would say it is a necessity for living the Christian life.
Yet, how many times have we Catholics been asked by these same Christians who ask other Christians to pray for them and advertise for people to ask them for prayer:
“ Why do you have to go to Mary? Why can't you just go to Jesus?”
For anyone who sees this, could you pray for Bridget from Ireland. She's my mother. She's a beautiful God loving woman who has been battling cancer for the past few years.
Of course 🙏
We will add her in our rosary. Trust in Jesus. I just lost my mother. Make sure she has the anointing of the sick and the last rites.
Of course! If it helps I know what it's like having a suffering parent, Bridget is blessed having you in her life.
Prayers. 🙏
Lord Jesus please heal Bridget! 🙏
Many thanks for this video.
I prayed the Rosary today. It took me about 30 minutes.
I plan on making it a daily habbit, no excuses.
Really love this channel and I hope you are doing well.
You take care Good Sir.
Excellent endeavor! God Bless you!
Praying the rosary is going to change your life and you’ll know it immediately. Our Blessed mother leads us to her son Jesus. Now that you have Mary’s weapon against satan in your hand, you Are a member of Mary’s army!
I’ve been praying the rosary everyday for 15 years and I can honestly say that it changed my life and protected me big time!! Stick with it you will not regret it!
Thanks for the encouragement everybody. God bless you all.
@@Cja1954 I struggle praying the Rosary alone, but I can pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet.
Where two or more are gathered in my name there I will be and you can not have a better prayer partner than Mary.
Mary? Jesus says not to worship the body, all you need to do is pray to God, you don't need a prayer partner.
@@jkii1105 huh? who is worshiping the body? why do we "need" to pray to god, what for? "don't *need* a prayer partner" sure that maybe true but one might "like" a prayer partner and God might find that quite lovely.
@@pajamaninja2157 Read what the OP wrote and maybe you would comprehend what the OP said, " Where there are two or three gathered in my name there I will be and you can not have a better prayer partner than Mary."
Where in scripture does it say we are to pray with or to the dead? Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in anything that is under the sun.
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and Man, the man Jesus Christ.
John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Luke 11:27-28 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifter up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou has sucked. But he said Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it.
John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgement unto the Son.
Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways , saith the Lord.
Read each one those carefully, then read what the op wrote, "you can not have a better prayer partner than Mary", this is worshipping the body. It's the same as the woman in Luke 11:27-28. Jesus is given judgement because his Father gave him judgement because of his price on the cross for man. Jesus is the mediator as it says in 1 Timothy 2:5 no one else. You can pray alone, don't need anyone there with you to pray, or repent. If I repent to Jesus and not God then I am worshiping the body (Jesus), he is the head of the church, no one else. Did Jesus pray to himself, or call himself Father?
When read about the 10 commandments in Exodus 20, you see the first two commandments, and if you worship Jesus, and not God then you break the first 2 commandments. You asked "why do we need to pray to God", if you do not pray to God and repent, how is it the Son (Jesus) will accept you? Remember God gave judgement to Jesus, but you do need to pray to God, Jesus is that mediator between you and God.
You said " one might like a prayer partner" let me ask you, do you pray same as everyone else? Unless you are using the lord's prayer you should not pray with another unless they have same beliefs as you, I wouldn't pray for God to bless a gay minister, would you? Again unless it's the lord's prayer, then no I wouldn't have a prayer partner. How many churches you been to that uses the lord prayer today? I have not been in one church that uses the lord's prayer. They use prayer not sound to doctrine.
I'll be honest here, that statement she said sounds like Kenneth Copeland exact same teachings, and if this is true, I would stay away from him, and his demons (teachings), yes plural, he has many demons in him. Just as I tell anyone, I'll say same to you. You do not understand scripture, read it for yourself, not what the church says, the church will change, Christ won't ever change.
Examine yourselves and make sure you are in the faith look up and lift up your heads cause your redemption draws near.
I was quoting Jesus@@jkii1105
Where two or more are gathered in my name, there I will be, and what ever you are in agreement of, so the Father will answer. Instructions from Jesus in the Gospels Asking some one to pray with you is not worshiping them.@@jkii1105
Great video!
I remember telling a protestant friend of mine when he asked me to pray for him, I said to him "Why are you coming to me? Just go straight to Jesus!?!! I'm not your mediator!"
He knew exactly my point. ❤
Why would you tell him that ?
Good answer but at the same time it is a lesson
@@ioapotyrell5089 Yup something that one would expect from a catholic, I’m sure Jesus was real happy about the lesson that was taught to this guys Protestant friend. I’m sure angels as well as saints were rejoicing in heaven.
So did you pray for him ?
You don't understand my point? And you guys are Protestants? Even my protestant friend CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD my point. And yes , I did pray for him.
Maybe you guys must be "baby Christians" or new to all this and still drinking milk.
The saints are also truly living, not dead. "He is not God of the dead, but of the living; you are quite wrong.” - Mark 12:27
Someone told me this was a "semantic argument".
@@user-hf5wf7lc6x "soul sleep" is entirely novel teaching. Nobody believed in it until the modern era.
Frankly, I'm never going to believe something novel which utterly contradicts the teachings of the apostles. If the people who wrote the gospels cannot be trusted on a matter as important as this, I wouldn't be a Christian at all.
@@marvalice3455 who ever told you that, probably also told you of a great rapture. Do you find it kind of odd or weird that, the Catholic Church had theologians, working with priests and bishops for over 1500 years, yet they never came to the conclusion of soul sleep, the rapture. Even Calvin, and Luther who knew Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic, didn’t believe in such Heresy. I would encourage you to read on early church fathers, and if you are brave enough read into the apostolic fathers.
@@JuanGonzalez-kb3gm told me what? What exactly are you trying to convince me of here?
@@marvalice3455 sorry buddy I thought you were for soul sleep. Was just trying to say soul sleep and Rapture are both unbiblical
Your podcast is so analytical and educative to enlighten the doubtful,the ignorant and unbelievers.
I’ve heard so many effective arguments that I have not heard anywhere else.
True my brother, they like to use argument "they are dead and we cant talk to dead people" and also this people belive in faith and grace alone, but their faith is small
Blessed Mary, please pray for me a sinner!! Thank you blessed Mary for loving me a sinner!!
Blessed Mary I love you as my Devine mother!!
I would love to attend one of these straw man masses that people like MacArthur are talking about.
“Good evening my Loyal Worshippers of Mary! We’ve all come here today at our lady is god parish. What, read the Bible? You’re crazy, we never read the Bible here at mass. Instead, Let us sacrifice some incense to our Lady, re-crucify Christ, and I’d like to remind you all not to go to Jesus. Do not go to Jesus, under any circumstances. Now, let us all worship the saints and angels before we molest children in the name of Mary. ”
I just want to see what this is like, because no mass I have ever witnessed is like that.
Following St Paul's exhortation, "pray unceasingly" (I Tes. 5, 17), the Orthodox Church developed the hesychastic "Jesus prayer" or "Prayer of the heart": Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me. Its purpose is to let Christ into our heart. ❤☦
Only Jesus Christ is our intercessor. No one else has been given that name.
Nope. Paul talks about Christians making intercession for each other all the time.
Since I know you’re referring to the Timothy scripture, tell me: what does it mean that Jesus is “our only mediator between God and man”? Do you even understand the context or do you just mindlessly quote it like others thinking it destroys Catholicism when you never even bothered to understand its context and instead applied an interpretation to it that came over a thousand years after Christ?
"They have no wine". Mary helps us to have "wine" here in this time.
Thank you! How eloquently yet simply explained! You put into words what I have struggled to explain. Sharing you out! God bless you and your family🙏
Thank you
I love this channel
We didn't get the memo!!! Classic thank you for that. 👍
Thanks another excellent video
Another really good video. I appreciate what you are doing. I watched that with my mother as well. ☦️.
Glad you like it
@@imisschristendom5293 You said what I try to say (remember I live in the Bible Belt South as well) but you said it way better than I can. Maybe we can be one again..totally. One day. But that is how it is..for now.
Dear Brother in Christ, good points, thank you and God bless you! I will be back!
Our Lady of Ireland, pray for us
9:31 ... "sorry we didn't get the memo" 😂
I Love yuor podcasts, I hav been watching n listening till even late night, you indeed fix those heretics, who shepherds work for waes es. Thank you Brother God bless you, abundantly. From India, I miss badly the LTM that had been of my Fathe
I expected this to be about something else. But I am happy to have seen it.
Thank you.
Great job! Prots get this (and so many other things) wrong, which is a shame. They’re missing out on some very powerful help in their prayer life. Padre Pio, ora pro nobis!
To the Father through the Mother. To the Son through His Mother. 📿
Also in 2 Maccabees 15 it describes Onias (Former jewish High Priest) as well as Jeremiah interceeding on behalf of those about to enter battle.
Protestant reformers got rid of 2 Maccabees, which is the strongest scriptural proof text for Purgatory because it speaks of offerings for the dead. The saints in Heaven do not need our offerings, and the damned cannot benefit from them; so, there must be a state of the soul for which prayer and sacrifices are efficacious.
@@jmj5388 true, also a few parables Christ gave touched on unfaithful servants being punishments until everything had been repaid, other analogies were wicked servants being torn apart whilst servants who didn't quite achieve what they were supposed to would only receive temporary punishments. Kinda makes me wonder how much a lot of protestants omit when reading the bible. It's just like how they don't believe in God or saints working through objects yet throughout the old and new testament it's evident that sacramentals were used and God permits the usage of them especially in Acts I think it is when the crowd use handkerchiefs that touched I think it was St Paul to cure the sick and cast out demons.
@@Sicarius089 There are sayings of Jesus Christ ✝️ in the 4 Synoptic Gospels that relates to Purgatory.
While Moses prayed, Jews won the battle.
Well even God needed Mary!!!!
Where is the remotely superficial Scripture support for the " Sinner's Prayer"? The " Pre- Tribulation ' Rapture ' " ? The Bible Alone and Faith Alone? Where is it, because, I Myself cannot find these Protestant " Traditions of Men" ( Isaiah 29:13; Mathew 15:6-7; Mark 7:6-9; Colossians 2:8)?
This and Trent Horn's channel are my best picks for top tier Catholic content.
By the way, I do not recall you commenting on "The Chosen".
If you have not seen it nor made a video or remark about it, I'd love to hear what you think of it
I do watch it, i do like it
Yes, we are to pray for one another as the Holy scriptures say, but this is for the living.
Those that have died have moved on to either Heaven or hell and the Holy Bible is clear about communicating with the dead.
We are to pray to God only and no one else.
What the Bible condemns is the use of MAGICAL POWERS to CONSULT spirits of the dead in order to SEEK INFORMATION from them about future events. This is called necromancy. The Bible doesn't simply condemn ALL FORMS of communication with people who have died.
Catholics do not practice Necromancy because they DO NOT use MAGICAL POWERS or some other evil supernatural powers to summon spirits of the dead in order to SEEK INFORMATION from them.
What Catholics do is simply to ask fellow Christians who are currently in heaven to pray for them. This is NOT necromancy.
Furthermore, God has said that we should WORSHIP Him alone. But He never said that we should PRAY to Him alone. This is because God never said that PRAYER and WORSHIP are the same action.
Ive never understood the hangup socalled Bible literate protestants have with the Saints. Their whole faith seems to rest on temporal political events from centuries ago and has been internalized in tradition through generations.
It actually gets worse over time. If they were stuck in the 1600s, the Lutherans would still be saying the rosary
Thanks, sometimes I find it pointless to respond to accusations/questions/attacks of Protestants since most are not open or their bias has already been decided.
For the intercession of a mother avails much to gain favour with the son
My friend Cara Hales was murdered by a man 5 years please pray for her i don't know if she was Catholic but she was kind to everyone she saw..... also for six months iam sure i was seeing her and had dreams where she said she was waiting another dream where we hugged and i haven't seen her again could that have been her? God allowed us to have a goodbye
Who said you couldn’t just go to Jesus? Go! More than one way to pray! Whatever! 🌺✝️🌺
Because our heart is an idol factory.
Truth
Because Mary is the Queen Mother:
In Judah, the kings mother NOT his wife sits as QUEEN MOTHER (Jeremiah 13:18), wears a CROWN, has a Kis·’ōw (Throne) (Tanakh), sits @ his right hand “Thy right hand… the queen in gold.” (Psalms 45:9), she has authority as counselor to the king (Proverbs 31:1),
advocates for people (intercession), brings their petition to her son the king (1 Kings 1:15, 31, 2:19-20, 15:13) Mary brings our petition (prayers, requests) to her son the King of Kings!
"A woman… a CROWN of twelve stars.” (Revelation 12:1)
I just whip out John 13 20, and tell them they are not listening to Jesus
Saints are obviously closer to the Lord, they bask in the light of His face, they serve at His altar, and they hear us just as the Holy Mother heard the concerns of the wedding couple of Cana. This is not a difficult concept. I have long wondered what about this is so difficult for many (most perhaps) protestants. They are either incredulous or show disdain for God's actual elect. May God have mercy on us all, and may the saints pray for us all.
Nice story.

Doesn't it imply that God doesn't want us communicating with the dead?
If so even if the saints hear, aren't we still talking to the dead, which God doesn't want us to do
11:44 Jesus says he’s the god of the living not the dead 12:04 Jesus talks to Moses a dead man
Jesus can hear and receive your prayers. Dead saints can do nothing for you.
That’s not biblical.
@@DJScootagroov prove it
@@PandawdyBob Hebrews 12:1 to give just one example.
@@DJScootagroov That doesn't even seem to be related to what I said. Did you make a mistake?
@@PandawdyBob no, what do you think the great cloud of witnesses are?
Even the Almighty God the Creator did not sends his only beloved Son direct from heaven, though he is Creator he choose Mary and Joseph to be the Mother and Father because they obey God's will.
Christians can pray for one another. However, no true Christians pray to Mary or the saints the way Catholics do. True Christians pray to Jesus' Father. As Jesus said: "But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you. This is how you are to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name." (Matt. 6:6, 9)
10:10 - Didn't Saul conjure Samuel?
Yes, again, those rare occasions God allows it.
In fact, if I remember correctly, the witch of endore was surprised
@@imisschristendom5293Correct. God allowed it and then gave Saul his final condemnation for not inquiring of the Lord, he was unfaithful.
I've had Protestants tell me I am attempting necromancy, but don't even get me started on how horrific of an argument that is just by understanding what words mean, you addressed it the video.
Or we could just ask brothers and sisters who have not passed for prayers. God's Law is against praying, or speaking, to Mary and any other "saint". Keep His Commandments.
Can we pray to Elijah since he’s technically still alive?
Yes. and i’m pretty sure he’s a patron of an order of monks or nuns. part of being their patron is he intercedes for them.
No he is deceased and it would be necromancy
@@TriciaRP John 3;16 proves those who believe in Christ have eternal life.
@@christophersalinas2722 isn’t he talking about the resurrection during last days? Our spirits dwell in Heaven after we die but when Christ returns we’ll receive resurrected bodies like Christ as described in Revelation 20: 4 & 5 and Revelation 20: 11 - 15 or am I missing something?
@@Scum_and_Villainy ? TriciaRP is saying it’s a sin to pray to the saints.
Cause the priest is as if Jesus was there
I don’t believe Psalm 103 and Psalm 148 are good examples of praying to angels. The Psalms are noted for their poetic descriptions of God and his work. Psalm 103 is about David praising God and his character, ending the Psalm by telling “The Angels, The Heavenly Hosts, all of of God’s work (creation) and last David’s own Soul to praise God. I wouldn’t say that David is making a request to the angels, the hosts, his own soul, and all of God’s works here, more like telling them to praise God.
Psalm 148 makes this even more clear. You wouldn’t say that David prayed to the Sun, the moon, the stars, the heavens, the sea creatures, lightning, hail, snow, clouds, stormy winds, mountains, hills, fruit trees, cedar trees, wild animals, cattle, small creatures, the birds, the kings and nations of the Earth, the princes and rulers, young men and women, old men and women, and children.
First of all he isn’t appealing to anyone, he’s telling literally all of creation to praise God.
David is just using artistic expressions in the Psalms to praise God, not calling on Angels to intercede on his behalf. It’s like when we praise Christ, that he has shattered “Death’s Iron Chains”. It’s just an artistic way of expressing our praise and worship.
It shows that David & Jews believed that God is the God of the Living, not the dead . It also shows that David and Jews believed those in heaven could HEAR us singing those psalms.
There are some protestants who believe that heaven is asleep until the 2nd judgement, and also some protestants who believe that no one in heaven including angels, saints can HEAR us and our prayers.
Exodus 20 And the Blessed Lord God, the Holy Great King, the Heavenly Father spoke all these words:
2 I am the Holy Lord God thy Holy Lord God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt not have strange gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Holy Lord God, the Great King thy Holy Lord God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:
6 And showing Holy mercy unto thousands to them that Holy Love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Holy Lord God thy Holy Lord God in vain: for the Holy Lord God, the Great Holy King will not hold him guiltless that shall take the name of the Holy Lord God, the Great King his Holy God in vain.
8 Remember that thou keep holy the sabbath day.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and shalt do all thy works.
10 But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Holy Lord God, the Great King thy Holy God: thou shalt do no work on it, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy beast, nor the stranger that is within thy gates.
11 For in six days the Holy Lord God, the Great Holy King made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them, and rested on the seventh day: therefore the Holy Lord God, the Great Holy King blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother, that thou mayest be longlived upon the land that the True Holy Lord God thy Holy God will give thee.
13 Thou shalt not murder.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house: neither shalt thou desire his wife, nor his servant, nor his handmaid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his.
18 And all the people saw the voices and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking: and being terrified and struck with fear, they stood afar off,
19 Saying to Moses: Speak thou to us, and we will hear: let not the Holy Lord God, the Holy King speak to us, lest we die.
20 And Moses said to the people: Fear not: for Holy Lord God, the Holy Great King is come to prove you, and that the dread of him might be in you, and you should not sin.
21 And the people stood afar off. But Moses went to the dark cloud wherein Holy Lord God, the Holy King was.
22 And the Holy Lord God, the Great Holy King said to Moses: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.
23 You shall not make gods of silver, nor shall you make to yourselves gods of gold.
24 You shall make an altar of earth unto me, and you shall offer upon it your holocausts and peace offerings, your sheep and oxen, in every place where the memory of my name shall be: I will come to thee, and will bless thee.
25 And if thou make an altar of stone unto me, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones: for if thou lift up a tool upon it, it shall be defiled.
26 Thou shalt not go up by steps unto my altar, lest thy nakedness be discovered.

Why do you ask the dead on behalf of the living? Would you ask a sleeping person to even open a door for you? The dead do not have any authority over the living.
The dead sleep in heaven and also in hell? Seems like a rip off if I’m sleeping in heaven but seems like a great deal if I’m sleeping in hell.

Why do we ask St. Michael to cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits if they are all on earth?
More like,
Why would we ask him to them in hell if they're already there?
@MrJKing1962 That's a rather odd question to ask. Suppose your eyes were opened, and you could finally see that there were a couple of demons in your room every night, giggling and trying to harm you. Would you instead ask St. Michael to cast them under your bed (so you wouldn't see them) or ask him to cast them to the nether realm (in this case, to hell and out of your room and from this world)? I speak this from experience, but you don't have to experience what I have to be able to answer the question.
My angle is are there any in Hell now because of for example the St. Michael Prayer? If all of them are still roaming the earth and will not be cast into Hell until the final judgement then what’s the point? Or are we in the business of clearing them of the earth as we pray this prayer. If that’s the case then life should be getting better here but it isn’t. Or are they getting cast into Hell and also coming out of Hell continually like bugs in the house that is always a problem?
@@MrJking1962 There is no indication that Satan is in hell now, but he will be.
I think the St Michael prayer speaks of hell in the sense of satans kingdom of darkness. Or the “gates of hell” as our Lord puts it.
It is intriguing that we are at war with “hell” yet it is also a place of condemnation that is “prepared for Satan and his angels”.
Maybe in a way that the Kingdom of Heaven is near or “in us” and Christ is in us, yet He is also far above all the heavens (Ephesians 4:1)
I think there are limitations to our language, and the Latin west has been inspired by the Holy Spirit to come up with great detailed explanations of things that have no prior explanation, yet we still fall short to speak of “heavenly things”.
Regardless, I think the prayer is pious and effective in reviving or actualizing the intellect from potentiality and making us aware of St. Michael’s battle against the prince of this world which in turn allows us to take part in further intercession against the evil spirits of this world.
That would be worshipping an idol. Christ never asked to pray to his mother, or to michael or any of the saints or angels, he asked for us to pray to HIS FATHER.
First of all, you don't fully understand the meaning of the English word "pray". According to the English language vocabulary, the word PRAY can simply be used to describe the process of ASKING a HUMAN BEING to do something. It doesn't ALWAYS have to mean "Worship". For instance, Jeremiah ASKED king Zedekiah to do something for him by saying to him "I PRAY thee" (which is the same thing as saying "I PRAY TO thee") (Jeremiah 37:20; English Revised Version, American Revised Version, King James Version).
Therefore, when we ASK the saints in heaven to do something for us (precisely to pray for us), that process of ASKING can also be described as "prayer" because that is one of the ways the word "pray" is used in the English language
Secondly, the fact that Jesus didn't explicitly tell us to pray to Mary is NOT proof that we are FORBIDDEN from doing so.
This is because there are certain things that Protestants do that Jesus DID NOT say. For instance, tell me: do you ask your fellow Christian Brothers and sisters to pray to God on your behalf ? I am sure you do that. But do you know that the Bible never told us that Jesus comnanded His followers to ask one another to pray to God on their behalf ? So why do you do it ? Why are you doing something that Jesus DID NOT tell you to do?
Really good information, but please use different stock footage, the overly white Jesus is too distracting... Good video tho
The only possible way is to go directly to Jesus ..any other way is heresy and blasphemous
Children of God, is He not the Father? Who is equal to the Father, Son, and Spirit, who are all one? "I and the Father are one." Did Mary appear to Paul? Or to John in Revelation? "Worship only God." I understand you revere the saints and Mary, but they are not God. HE is your Father, your Savior. We can all be reborn of the Spirit, but neither the saints nor the Rosary can save us from death. Only Jesus the Christ "Anointed One." He died for us. "No one goes to the Father but through Me." There is not mediator but Jesus. He is the King of the Jews and the world. He answers the prayers of those in need.
Does God not work through human beings?
@brittoncain5090 Yes, but we are all equal: God has no favorites. He uses people for His Will, and for that, He deserves our devotion, faith, hope, and love. "Without faith, it is impossible to please Him. Faith without works is meaningless. It is by grace you are saved through faith."
@@youknowho4439 The idea that God doesn't pick certain people to fulfill certain roles in His kingdom is contradictory to the entirety of the Bible.
@brittoncain5090 He does. But Peter said, "He doesn't have favorites." To pray to them, and put our hope and trust in them? They worship the same God we do. We pray to Him alone. He is our Savior.
Great Video.... short and yet so informative and important.... 📿🍷🍞🕊🙏🏻🫶🏻⛪️🔥✝️📖
“If he’s not a state of grace his prayers will do nothing”
That’s a grave error if not outright heretical. If you’re in mortal sin your prayers aren’t meritorious, but they definitely do have impetratory value. Even Cain was heard by God in Genesis 4:13-15. In fact the teaching of the Catholic Church is that an unbeliever’s prayer for faith is infallible, because God will grant whatsoever is necessary for salvation to whosoever asks for it humbly, as per the promises of Our Lord. Your position implies the faithful shouldn’t pray to the Holy Spirit for a good examination of conscience before confession and that the Church’s age-old preparation of catechumens for baptism, which is all about prayer, are inefficacious, which is absolutely uncatholic.
A person in mortal sin can really only pray for thier personal salvation and conversion.
Accordingly when a sinner prays for something as sinner, i.e. in accordance with a sinful desire, God hears him not through mercy. On the other hand God hears the sinner’s prayer if it proceed from a good natural desire, not out of justice, because the sinner does not merit to be heard, but out of pure mercy, provided however he fulfil the four conditions given above, namely, that he beseech for himself things necessary for salvation, piously and perseveringly.” - Summa Theologiae, q. 83, a. 16.
The context of the statement in the video is praying for the intentions of another person. Which would be futile objectively speaking.
It is also said in the general sense, not as an absolute statement. Of course God can answer any prayer he chooses, but if we are picking prayer partners your better off with the saints.
How do people become Saints? If the Church approves of them they gain rank in Heaven? I have never understood this.
a saint is someone who enters heaven or purgatory. You can be a saint and be unrecognized by the Church. there's a process to being recognized on earth, but for heaven you have to die in a state of grace.
@@MegaMackproductions How is Theodora considered a Saint despite blinding her son?
@@AzureSymbiote being a Saint doesn't imply you were always a good person. It simply means you sought the forgiveness of God, found remission for your sins and were saved.
@@MegaMackproductions Alright. But why are only certain persons considered Saints, and not just random people?
@@AzureSymbiote So you have to remember it's to help the Church on earth, not to keep an accurate List of rhe population of heaven, is why someone is considered a saint. There needs to be a lengthy process regarding their sanctity starting about 5 years after their death. Then there needs to be some miracles on the person in heavens part (unless they're a martyr). And again, even if everyone doesn't go through this process it doesn't mean they aren't saints it simply means no one on earth has been their advocate and they haven't had the chance to prove their sainthood.
'Saint' is the French word for 'sanctified' i.e. holy. In other words anyone who has been sanctified by the shed blood of Christ i.e. a believer is a saint. 'Saint' as a class of special believers is a fabrication by the Catholic church. You can pray ( and you are correct pray is just an archaic word that means to ask) any living 'saints' i.e. believer to pray with you or in their prayer time along with you but once a saint has departed you are not to contact them in any form according to Deuteronomy 18. The transfiguration of Jesus where he is talking to Moses and Elijah is a vision like the burning bush. Jesus prophesied it over Peter, James and John that they would see Jesus in his kingdom before theses apostles would die. Jesus did not talked to any dead saints while in the flesh. John in the book of revelation had similar a revelatory vision. John puts it this way: "I was in the spirit". Only in the vision is he talking to angels, it was not a physical (in the flesh) event but 'in the spirit'.
The issue is that you are taking traditions of men and putting them over the commands of God. Jesus taught His disciples to pray to OUR FATHER who art in heaven. Nowhere are are told to pray to the dead, it’s expressly forbidden in the Old Testament to talk to those who are dead, it isn’t “exactly the same as asking the brother or sister at church” that’s a massive jump that’s not supported ANYWHERE in the Bible.
Why do you worship a god of the dead? Don’t you know that we worship the God of the Living? Those who die in Christ are ALIVE IN CHRIST! Christ gave us a Church, the Church gave us Sacred Tradition AND Sacred Scripture AND an Infallible Magisterium. A three-legged stool, without one of the legs, the stool becomes unstable and falls.
Is the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob the God of the dead? NO! They may be dead physically, but they are spiritually alive in heaven
@@Ruudes1483 Can we examine that passage in Context. When the savior tells the crowds God is not a God of the dead but of the living, does he mean to imply that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are still physically alive within our temporal realm? Or Does He mean they are Alive in God, they will be resurrected? The first interpretation is utter nonsense, if Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were still alive in the sense that we use the term then why didn’t the crowds see them. Of course the answer is that they were not alive in the common sense of the word but within another context they are alive.
Now this may seem like a point that has no purpose, except that the Bible explicitly tells us that we cannot cross the divide of contacting people who are no longer alive within our temporal realm, wether you think they’re alive elsewhere (which in and of itself is problematic considering apart from a few people we are explicitly told are with God we are essentially guessing that the one you call saint is actually in heaven and not a demon in hell) is irrelevant because we are told that attempting to contact people who have left this temporal land of the living is abominable to God, please see Leviticus 19 & 20, Deuteronomy 18, Isaiah 8, and countless many others.
In fact the one time we are given a story of someone attempting to contact someone who is no longer part of this living realm- The king Saul attempts to contact Samuel, who is presumably in in heaven with God, and he is sternly rebuked for it.
@@JayReacio Saul used witchcraft and it was detestable to the Lord, if given the context. Now, do we use witchcraft and other spiritism tools in regards to contact the Saints?
@@davidcanasberroteran4647 That’s honestly debatable given all the statues, candles, jewelry involved in Catholic veneration of supposed saints. But putting that to the side.
Are you suggesting that if Saul had merely attempted to contact Samuel through prayer it would have been acceptable? Please show me a verse that would indicate that communication with those who have passed (necromancy) is commendable. I have given you several, and have several more where necromancy is explicitly condemned. Will you take your traditions of men or will you take the Holy word of God?
Praying to the saints, Mary, or angels is idolatry. Only God answers prayer. God is a jealous God.
When did the Bible say that "prayer" is ALWAYS the same thing as "Worship" ?
@@jerome2642
Very simple. We pray only to God, we worship only God.
@@approvedofGod I have seen many verses in the Bible that says that we should WORSHIP God ALONE. But I haven't seen any verse that says that we should PRAY to God ALONE. Can you provide any?
@@jerome2642
To pray to God alone is an assumed doctrine!
1. Why on earth, would you pray to someone lesser than God?
2. There is no scripture where people pray to someone other than God.
@@approvedofGod You are obviously still clinging to your idea that PRAYER and WORSHIP are the same thing (even though you are still unable to show me where the Bible says that we should PRAY to God ALONE). If you truly understand the various uses of the English word "pray", you would realize that it is NOT always synonymous with the word "Worship". In other words, PRAYING to a human being doesn't necessarily mean that we are WORSHIPPING that human being as a divine being or that we somehow believe that such a human being is equal to God. Rather, the phrase "praying TO someone" can simply be used to describe the process of ASKING someone to do something, because the English word "prayer" actually refers to a "request" (it doesn't matter if it is a "request" presented to GOD or a "request" presented to a HUMAN BEING).
In the English Revised Version, American Revised Version King James Version of the Bible, we see Jeremiah ASKING a human being (King Zedekiah) to do something for him by saying to him: "I PRAY thee" (Jeremiah 37:20). Just so you know, "I PRAY thee" is equivalent to saying "I PRAY TO thee".
Let me ask you: what do think about Psalm 103 ? Is it a PRAYER or not ?
So Catholics speak old English😂 that was a terrible example I’m sorry I was really expecting you to actually prove something. We get it, pray means to ask even though no one talks like that anymore. Everyone is alive in Christ, Mary is blessed, yeah but non of that is proof for what Catholics believe. Are we really supposed to be ask saints? Did Mary really go to heaven body and soul? Is purgatory actually real? No good biblical evidence for any of it. But I forgot Catholics don’t believe in the Bible alone. Convenient

Poor you.
Where in Scripture does the Lord tell us that "the saints", which are believers of Christ, not just who The Roman Catholic Church instituted as saints by their works, have omniscience like God? Satan deceived Eve with this lie in the garden by saying you won't surely die, He just knows you will be like Him. NO ONE has the same attributes of God. Stop justifying for Catholic doctrines & defend God's living Word
"It is these who were not defiled with women; they are virgins *and these are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes.* They have been ransomed as the firstfruits of the human race for God and the Lamb." Revelation 14:4
No one says the saints are omniscient in their own finite human nature. That being said, our first Pope assures us that through Christ, God "has granted us his precious and very great promises, that through these you may escape from the corruption of the world because of passion, and become *partakers of the divine nature"* (2 Peter 1:4). Adam & Eve sinned in grasping divinity apart from God. God the Son lowered Himself, taking the form of a servant, in order to raise us up with Him. We Catholics are members of His Body, the Church. As the Head is glorified, so will the Body. Just because you Protestants reject membership in His Body and thus rightly despair of such intimate union with the Savior, doesn't mean we Catholics should.
It is impossible to "defend God's living Word" without promoting Catholic doctrine as God's living Word speaks of Catholic doctrine. The Bible is a Catholic book.
You are confused, and the response below is a good start for you to consider. You seem to think, as almost all non-Catholics do, that every Christian belief must be found in the bible, which is just plain wrong. Sola scriptura is a false, man-made tradition started in the 16th century and is not supported by the bible itself. But the bible is clear that both angels and humans in heaven can hear us and can offer our prayers on earth to the Lamb in heaven. The communion of saints includes all people, both living on earth or living spiritually in heaven. We can ask for their intercession, and Paul makes it clear that God WANTS us to pray for one another. James tells us the prayers of the righteous are much more efficacious than prayers from sinners, and by definition, those in heaven are more righteous than we are on earth, so I think we would be unwise to ignore them in our petitions. Protestants confuse the meaning of the verb to pray, as noted in the video. It doesn't have to mean "worship." Can you show me where it states in the bible that we cannot and should not offer intercessory prayers to Mary and other saints? Don't give me the stock Protestant response of 1 Timothy 2:5 that Jesus is the sole mediator between God (the Father) and humankind. The CC agrees 100% with that, but Protestants misinterpret that. Does the bible say we can't ask intercessors in heaven to ask Jesus? No, it does not.
People, all their lives have asked others to put in a good word for them because they are close to that person whom they want a favour from so how much more can the Saints plead your request and prayers in Heaven - be humble, that pleases Jesus more!
Where in the bible does it say that everything we know about God is in the bible?
Can you kindly elaborate more? You're not really making any sense.
It's a circle, repent to God, he sends Jesus, you accept him, he chooses you.
You cannot just accept Jesus and not repent to God, God is the only one who forgives sin, Jesus already forgave man of sin when he gave his life on the cross.
I wouldn't look at this as scripture based but motivational at best.
Read scripture for yourself, not what the church deems acceptable, I will always be a follower of Christ and not the church. The church can and will change, Christ will not ever change.
Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. This goes for all of creation, not just man. Speak to plants and beast of the earth about the coming of Christ! Speak to all of creation, not just man.
Don't believe the narrative of what the church says, believe what scripture says. If the bishop is saying you can be gay and a minister, question the spirit, then walk away, that is a lukewarm church and we are warned we can not have 2 lords, or if you choose master ...

Examine yourselves and make sure you are in the faith look up and lift up your heads cause your redemption draws near.
Jesus gave the apostles the ability to forgive and retain sins in the book of St. JOHN 20:23. This was passed on through apostolic succession. And this ability was given after the Crucifixion... so why would Jesus give this ability to the apostles if all sins were forgiven immediately on the cross?
so... do you baptize trees or...?
@@MegaMackproductions John 20:23 King James- Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain; they are retained.
Let's look at what these words mean remit- cancel or refrain from exacting or inflicting.
Let's look at retain- continue to have(something); keep possession of.
Next time make sure and quote scripture with the verse, after reading your comment
"Jesus gave the apostles the ability to forgive and retain sins in he book of St John 20:23, this was passed on through apostolic succession . And this ability was given after the crucifixion... so why would Jesus give this ability to the apostles if all sins were forgiven on the cross?"
Have you read that piece of scripture you shared? Do you understand what that piece of scripture means or says? From reading your comment, imho you have no idea what it means, I'll help you and I will answer your question.
Jesus did not give the apostles the ability to forgive, it was a commandment he gave as we see in Matthew 22:36-40 Master which is the great commandment of the law?
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
I did not say "it was forgiven immediately on the cross." I said God forgives sins, not Jesus, he gave his life for the sin of Man. Why ask Jesus to forgive you? Not saying you can not but why? He already forgave all mans sins, it's counterproductive my friend to say Jesus forgives you of sin if you pray to him, reason he gave his life on the cross correct?
We should forgive as Jesus forgave us correct? John 20:23 reads Whosever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whosoever sins ye retain, they are retained. Where does this piece of scripture does it say Jesus gave the apostles the ability to forgive and retain sin? Retain- continue to have, and remit cancel or refrain from. When I read that specific piece of scripture with the rest of it, I read those who are in sin and don't repent will be in sin, those who are in sin and repent are forgiven, not Jesus said to forgive and retain sins in he book of St John.
I hope this answered your question and I urge you to read scripture for what it says, not what the church believes it says. Scripture has already been interpreted, no need to reinterpret. I've been ministering for over 30 yrs now, and even then I still refrain from what I do not know, if I don't understand it, I do not pretend I do. If I can not answer I will be like the Barean Jews and I will make sure of what I speak. I don't want to hear these words depart from me you who practices lawlessness for I never knew you.

Necromancy expects a reply. You don't expect a reply when asking a saint to pray for you. Also, Mary is most certainly not dead. Mark 12:27 Jesus says He is the God of the living, not the dead. That would mean when we die on Earth, Jesus isn't our God anymore. Revelation 5 and 8 mentions the prayers of the saints lifted up to God in heaven. So obviously they're either alive or the bible lies.
