YES! Catholicism is the truth and Mormonism is a cult 🙏🏻
true
Ok, this is veeeeeeeery oversimplified. Homosexual acts or any promiscuity for that matter is very much a sin in Catholic doctrine. Homosexuals are encouraged by the Church to remain celibate. Some even marry someone of the opposite sex and have an ordered, non-promiscuous relationship. Being attracted to the same sex isn't a sin inasmuch as wanting to eat more than you should isn't a sin. It's simply your passion, your "animal side", so to say. It becomes a sin when the Will, which is what you conciously decide or consent to, aproves it, even if it is wrong. Therefore, attraction isn't sin, but lust is.
The Pope isn't just a "special priest", he is Christ's Vicar on Earth, which means that he must preserve the one christian doctrine throughout the Church. He is also a bishop, not a priest. While the priest is responsible for a parish, the bishop is responsible for a diocese and his calling is to oversee the priests and, like the Pope, conserve the christian doctrine in each parish.
Couldn’t have explained it better. I have very many issues with these “oversimplified” videos, especially when they leave out several important details
Not correct, sex outside or marriage is a sin. Sad how people work so hard separate hetero verses homo. Btw the Pope was first a Deacon, later a Priest, and then a Bishop.
@whatsup3270 Never said heterosexual sex outside of marriage is okay, he is just talking about homosexual attraction in particular. The Pope does go through the process, yes, but a deacon is no longer a deacon when he becomes a priest, and is no longer a priest when he become a bishop.
@@GooberD I think the teaching is these are indelible marks, inter grace, or changes to the soul. Bad Priests are never reverse ordinated to my knowledge. I’ve alway been taught these are not reversible.
@@GooberD Not true, He is always a priest and deacon, but now also a Bishop, then elected a Cardinal, and then Pope.
Catholic worship "is just a Mass"? DUDE
What about Liturgy of Hours!? Rosary? Contempletion?
And that is just a latin rite.
Minor correction sorry, rosary is devotion rather than worship, but you are right that he should’ve Mentioned our perspective more
As Southern Baptist, I’m totally cheering for my Catholic brethren.
That's awesome brother I didn't even know people like you existed
What about your LDS Brethren?
@@oscarmchugh1091 You believe that God the Father was once a man right?
@@poesia-com-cafeina God once had a mortal experience. As president hinckley said "we do not completely understand it nor do we emphasize or teach it regularly."
@oscarmchugh1091 Since the Nicene Creed is the defining Creed of Christianity, I am curious if you, as an LDS member, disagree with any parts of it, and if so, why?
VERY Minor Correction
While explaining the Catholic view of Mary, you called Our Lady "The Mother of Jesus" and not "The Mother of God" or "Theotokos" which is Nestorian Heresy as defined in the Council of Ephesus in the year 431.
Jesus Christ is one person with two natures, fully divine and fully human, united in the hypostatic union. Therefore, to affirm this doctrine, Mary is called Theotokos, meaning "God-bearer" or "Mother of God." This title was officially confirmed at the Council of Ephesus in 431 AD to emphasize the unity of Christ's two natures. By calling Mary "The Mother of God," the Church asserts that she gave birth to Jesus Christ, who is both God and man, thus upholding the doctrine of the Incarnation. Referring to her merely as "The Mother of Jesus" suggests a separation of Jesus' divine and human natures, which is why it is considered Nestorian heresy.
i like how this vid was not biased at all lowkey jus stating facts of what both do no hate anywhere
Thank you very much ^^
This is the true spirit of Christ followers!
@@EverythingExplained101you did NO due diligence with this sloppy presentation. I am a Catholic in the Roman Rite and I live in Lamoni Iowa (a snake pit of Mormons) you got a lot wrong in their doctrine. I'm not going to waste my time.
🇻🇦THERE'S ONLY 1 HOLY CATHOLIC & APOSTOLIC CHURCH🇻🇦
@@OliveMule what did he get wrong? I've been surrounded by LDS members for awhile now and everything he said about them is true regarding their beliefs. I don't agree with them, but this was accurate
@@herosquad90 Much of the Catholic side has error. Largely trying to over simplify he cut far to many important corners. For a clear example he said Catholic are bible based, while the Bible you know was developed 1600 years after the Church, and what we all know today as the New Testament was canonized (became scripture) about 325 years after the church. So there was no Bible when the Church was founded, there were Jewish scriptures. Btw the correct answer was Divine revelations (from God), Sacred Traditions(known to man), and Scriptures
Small things, the LDS priesthood is given to all worthy men, not just leaders. At 12 young men are ordained to the Aaronic priesthood as deacons, teachers at 14, and priests at 16. As adults we are ordained to the Melchizedek Priesthood and set apart as Elders. 2 hour Church is the norm as of a few years ago,
I believe he was referring to the leader in a community like branch president or bishop.
I thought you called all the young fellows elders, not just adults?
@@djcfrompt All men are ordained as Elders at 18, but we would still call them 'Brother'. When they go to serve a mission we call them 'Elder'. Elder is otherwise only used for higher leaders who serve the whole Church.
I’m lds and I would like to make some corrections along the way
Scripture: your good on that part (though Catholics also believe in a part of the apocrypha as cannon which differs from other Christian’s, tell me if I’m wrong)
Godhead: we still all believe they are God(s) but are unified in mind will and purpose.
Priesthood: I’d say that’s all good but we think the main disciples of Christ gave the keys to Joseph (through laying on hands)
Worship service: the time differs a tad bit but it’s 3hrs on average
Afterlife: I would add that outer darkness is extremely harder to get to than Catholic hell
Missionary work: I’d like to add that missionary work has more than convert work (it’s also teaching and helping with the community inside the church) it’s a sort of growing process when we see missionary work being done
Original sin: to touch on the necessary part, it was a test of free will, and that all of our sins our from ourselves than someone else
Polygamy: we still believe marriage is between a man and a woman, unless it is commanded of god (some of the prophets in the OT for example) that doctrine stays to hold true
Tithing: a common misconception about tithing is that it’s not always mandated depending on your set of circumstances, even the opposite in a lot of cases, by paying for members needs when they are needing a boost or arnt doing well financially,
Female God: well thought of it is not important or needed to be taught for several reasons (one being there is a reason why it’s never talked about in scripture)
Symbol: we don’t believe in symbols having that much of spiritual power, as such we don’t see the cross as needful (especially when we consider the fullness of Christ) but members are allowed to wear a cross and arnt prohibited to.
Substance consumption: we see the word of wisdom as both physical and spiritual health, as a lot of the substances described are addicted and can lead to obsessing the addiction as your god.
As a Latter-day Saint, I found this to be mostly accurate, but oversimplified with a few errors. But overall, nice video and explanation of beliefs. Of all the other religions, I’ve found Catholics to be the most friendly and non-judgmental towards me and fellow Latter-day Saints, so thank you Catholics.
I'm a latter-day saint as well, I have some Catholic co-workers and they are super chill.
@tylerahlstrom4553 Helage you talked with mainline Christians much? Having been raised by evangelicals and seeing evangelicals on street corners and whatnot, I’d imagine the majority, if not all, of Protestants you talked to would have been evangelicals?
I am intrigued by the uncanny similarities between the LDS and Catholic Churches.
As a Catholic with several LDS friends, you’re welcome 😇
We think you guys are great!
As a Catholic I’m impressed. Very few videos get our theology right but this one mostly did. For example, priests in the Eastern Rites can be married under certain conditions.
As for the Mormons I don’t know much about them but I noticed a reference to “LSD” instead of “LDS” on one of the graphics. I’m sure you want to fix that. 😉
Thank you ^^
I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Firstly, we no longer have 3 hour Church, it’s 2 hours now, the 3rd hour is meant for family home study. Secondly you mispronounced Moroni, the “i” at the end is not pronounced “ee”, it is pronounced “eye”. You also failed to mention in the afterlife section our belief in the Spirit world, namely Spirit Prison, and Spirit Paradise. Other than that the video was pretty good.
You got a few things wrong. First of all as Catholics we believe that having same sex ATRACTION isn’t a sin, but acting on it is. Catholic and Mormon worship is nowhere near the same. The correct title for Mary would be “Mother Of God” just saying “mother of Jesus” is nestorianism. In eastern Catholicism and the ordinate of St. Peter priests can get married, but they have to get married before entering the priesthood. The Pope is not Just a special Priest. He is the vicar of Christ. He is the successor of St.
Enter who Christ made the first Pope. Catholics are sorta free on substances. You cannot do or take any that will harm your body and drunkenness and over indulging is a sin. God bless you!
Small clarification. Catholicism also considers homosexuality to be a sin. Respecting someone’s dignity does not mean condoning all their actions. It’s just means you don’t mistreat them.
I'm getting sick and tied of people saying we condone homosexuality
I love the length statement, yeah you can go to one catholic church where a mass takes 2 hours or one where it lasts 30 minutes it just depends on how fast the priest talks and how long his homily is.
A big part of catholic mission work how is what we call works, basically help communities. You're rarely going to find Catholics proselytizing, because we recognize that joining the catholic church is a big commitment that can take up to a year at its shortest to become a full member. We are the worlds largest food bank due to this direction. Alot of us see it as exclusionary to kinda wrongfully advantageous to say things like " if you come to mass you get a free meal." obviously we have meals after masses, but people are welcome to them without the whole come to mass. We would see this as taking advantage of someone in need. It's better to help just some one in the most dire hour then it is to gain a new member of the church.
as part of my mission work in the US lead me to some of the most impoverished places here from digging wells and teaching kids to read on reservations, to feeding the homeless in new york.
also we're supposed to tilth 10% of our income buttttt you'll rarely find that its enforced or even demanded, again this can be circumvented via works.
as for the homosexuality stuff it is still considered a sin, however Catholics are taught not to judge others for their sins (unless its an unforgiveable sin like abortion or participation in genocide two massive extremes I know.) So you're called to respect that persons free will and tolerate them. When talking about Catholics you have to remember we believe God gifted all of mankind with absolute free will. Meaning you choose to sin, but its also your duty to recognize that sin. Tho homosexuality is becoming more accepted inside the church, this doesn't mean it is no longer considered a sin.
Works is what you do, as opposed to what you believe, or even the narcissistic faith issue. Sex outside marriage is a sin regardless of who. What meal, no meal is required yes we consume a wafer which has taken the essence of Christ, this is a covenant.
@@whatsup3270 are you sure you’re a Catholic. The host doesn’t take on the essence of Christ it is his body via transubstantiation. It is not a metaphor nor is it simply the essence of the Christ. But his body and blood are made manifest in the bread and wine just as in the last supper
@@FatBoy42069 "Essence" is a term commonly used to explain what "manifests" anti-Catholics like to point to the lack of flesh and blood.
@@FatBoy42069 "manifests" is a verb
@@FatBoy42069 Manifest is a verb.
God can still talk to Mormons personally. That was never a difference 😅
The term conservative seem to lost meaning. Conservative just means to conserve. So the Catholic Churches icons are conservative, since they been with us since the beginning.
It's refreshing to see such accurate information being presented about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
*Minor* corrections/clarifications:
- The term "Mormons" could be referring to members of any branch of "Mormonism." This video seems to be talking about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints specifically, whose members are called "Latter-day Saints," instead of "Mormons."
- 0:31 Priesthood Authority: Given to Joseph Smith by resurrected apostles Peter, James, & John who received their authority from Jesus Christ. (Resurrected beings are often referred to as "Angels," e.g. Moroni)
- 0:56 Worship Practices: In recent years, Sunday worship was changed from 3 hours to 2.
- 6:02 Priest Marriage: Not only *can* Latter-day Saint leaders be married, it is actually a requirement, except in very small congregations where a married man may not be available.
Thank you^^
For future reference the Pope isn't "just a special priest" and has vert special abilities and duties, gay relations aren't just a sin but a mortal sin (separating from God), and Mary is the mother of God by title (as Jesus is God). Other than that this video seems pretty well put together and was enjoyable.
One clarification: Joseph Smith was given the priesthood by Peter, James, and John (resurrected angels at this time), who were given the priesthood by Jesus Christ.
While you nailed many accurate comparisons between the two churches. I would like to point out that while the LDS church is out-spoken of their opposition to same-sex marriage (perhaps more so than the Catholic Church), they have time and time again made statements emphasizing kindness towards those who may live that life.
Also, it seems that Catholic leaders in the past (e.g. Pope Benedict) were very clear in their disapproval of same-sex marriage.
Also, typical LDS church services are now 2 hours long.
Aside from that, good video.
Actions speak louder than words. The LDS church effectively runs the state of Utah as a theocracy, with more Mormon members of the state legislature than Republicans. The Utah state legislature is a wretched hive of hate and bigotry that is constantly passing hateful laws to make queer folks' lives harder. If the LDS church believed in showing love to queer folks they would be speaking out against this.
Still heretic
Around here, Sunday LDS meetings are 2 hours.
It was shortened globally some years ago iirc
Okay, to clarify on the Catholic position, homosexual attraction itself is not a sin, however, once that attraction is acted upon, it becomes a sin. Most sexual sins are known as mortal sins which completely destroys your relationship with God, and can only be repared by an act of contrition throhgh the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Same sex marriage is strongly opposed by the Catholic Church, as well as any kind of same sex relationship. While we are called to love people who participate in same sex relationships, we are not called to accept, let alone encourage such practice.

It is a heresy and false religion. Do not be deceived by their flashy ways.
I know you speak another language, but I salute you fellow man. I respect a Catholics faith just as any other, but on my own personal accordance, I don’t try to force people to my faith’s path, I’ll invite them but that is different.
hey you did good for on lds i have some correction. it not 3hrs it 2hrs now. on the topic of homosexual we do believe it a sin but we welcome them into the church
I like the un biased factual info in this video.
This is the best comment ever. And I am saying this also in a non-bias fashion ;).
To all my Catholic friends, where can I get my hands on the Apocrypha? I recently learned that Joseph Smith actually encouraged its reading and I wanna give it a go.
You can get your hands on the deuterocanon by buying a Catholic Bible will be the likely cheapest way
Amazon
Google.
It’s pretty much always included in any Catholic translation of the Bible by default. I’ve never seen it published as its own work.
Any online Catholic Bible has it - but we call this collection deuterocanonical. To the Catholic Church the term apocrypha refers to a non-canonical set of writings such as The Assumption of Moses and The Book of Enoch.
“Mormon” worship services are no longer 3 hours. That changed a few years ago.
I think it's been mention already but just to clarify in your first point, Catholics are very much against the idea of "Sola scriptura" or 'the Bible alone', they see the bible as inspired by God/the Holy Spirit but ultimately written by humans, therefore it won't be everything we need. They place as much emphasis on tradition and other things. So just reading what the bible alone says isn't enough (some churches have other views and think it is).
And don’t mock God!!!✝️✝️✝️
Great video, one issue though, Moroni is pronounced (muh-row-nigh) thats all
Wait what? How do catholics share the Gospel through the social justice actions?
Not social justice as the modern world understands it but rather in the form of community service such as soup kitchens, charities, etc. for the benefit of people who are less fortunate than most.
Also most tea is fine for Mormons
it is, as long as it doesn not contain the tea leaf in it.
7:02 there is no legal same sex marriage in catholic and it's also considered a sin by the pope.
The way you present “Mormons” is a little odd. And not really how we would present or articulate it.
For example, we use the Bible. We believe that the priesthood authority was given to joseph smith, not by angels, but by Peter, James, and John.
Me an Orthodox: 🍿🍿🍿
Orthodox = The original protestants
You probably should have mentioned that Catholics use the Deuterocanon within the Bible, while Mormons do not.
The trinity is an expression of the Godhead, as the term "Godhead" by the definition on the Oxford Dictionary just means God, or an idol.
Regarding Worship, Catholic have many more worship practices than just our Mass. See eastern rite practices, and worship service beyond the Sunday obligation. And Mormons have a special sacrament meeting on the first sunday of every month. Also, saying they have the same structure, while true if you mean "one half generally revolves around scripture while the other generally revolves around the Eucharist," can seriously lead to people misunderstanding and believing there are larger similarities. Even Catholic churches can have different structures, as seen with the Norvo Ordo compared to the Tridentine Mass, or eastern rites compared to the western rite.
Catholics also believe that Jesus is the literal Son of God. More so, we believe He is the only begotten Son of God, while everyone else is simply adopted when born again (this is, itself, a simplification). For the Mormon belief, it probably would have been good to also bring up the idea of Jesus in the premortal existence.
The Mariology could have been better too. Catholics believe that Mary is the queen of heaven and earth, the mother of the church (and the faithful), and the mother of God, or Theotokos.
Regarding the afterlife, you left out LDS beliefs about the Outer Darkness, spirit realm (like paradise and prison), and the exaltation.
In before life, it would have been better to mention that the plan to come to earth was specifically Jesus', all for the glory of the Father, while Jesus' spirit brother lucifer had a plan of forcefully submitting every soul and glorifying himself. And catholic doctrine implicitly condemns a belief in pre-existence, just considering the Council of Lateran IV (1215), Council of Vienne (1313), and Pope Pius IX's Encyclical "Ineffabilis Deus" (1854).
5:50 you had "LSD" instead of LDS written on the screen.
Catholic priests (mainly ones who have converted from previous priesthood positions, as well as those within the eastern rites) can be married. The vow of celibacy is a tradition within the western rite, not a dogma binding all priests. It may be abandoned should the church decide there's a better alternative.
Catholics believe that any lustful thought, let alone practice, is sinful. The Catholic Church also dogmatically teaches that any sexual act outside of marriage is sinful, and that marriage is not permissible to couples of the same sex. See CCC 2357-2340, or any of the other many binding statements.
The pope is much more than a special priest. He is the Bishop of Rome, the successor of Saint Peter, the Vicar of Christ, and capable of making dogmatic statements that are considered infallible, and as such, binding on all the faithful.
Probably should have mentioned that Catholics use wine in Holy Communion, which is transformed by the miracle of transubstantiation into the blood of Christ our Lord. The accident remains, however, as wine.
I'm really surprised you didn't talk about the difference between the LDS belief of Sacrament and the Catholic belief of the Eucharist. Or the differences in prayer.
I get that this video is meant to be a simplification, but the fact is that it's risked oversimplifying the beautiful beliefs of individuals, and doesn't respect a proper understanding of centuries of LDS beliefs and millennia of Catholic beliefs. There is a difference between simplifying something and oversimplifying something.
0:10 and they believe in adding to the Bible. They’ve added early church fathers writings which are uninspired.
They are very inspired. I've actually read them at great length and in depth, studying them at university in the original language - mostly Greek.
Uninspired? Please, the Church Fathers were divinely guided
@@ThomasAquinasFan Absolutly!
Eternal marriage is a literally unbiblical doctrine. Jesus said that the dead at the resurrection will not marry. The LDS church made up the false doctrine of eternal marriage and the "families can be together forever" junk in direct contradiction of the teachings of Jesus. It's a very attractive doctrine, but heretical nonetheless.
Have that opinion. But kinda a downer low key
Jesus was referring to earthly marriage. He gave Peter the power to seal and to lose on earth. Matthew 16:19 “And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”.
@@MichaelHodgkinsonthis verse refers to Peter being given authority, how does it relate to marriage?
The first point could easily be misunderstood. You make it sound like catholicism is super centered around the bible, which isn't the case. The catholic church is very self-centered. If in doubt, it would place its own authority over that of the bible. While it is true that catholics don't have other scripture that they would call 'holy book', their religion is based on sacred tradition as much as it is on the bible. Catholics are certainly NOT biblical literalists.
Great point. Thank you^^
Hum, the more I thought about it, the more I think you are right!
I mean we did create the bible. Organized the books choose which ones to include and so on. We've just had 2000 years to debate the meaning of things.
You could also say that prots don't recognize the bible because of the king James translation changing certain passages to proligate a more authority centered bible.
@FatBoy42069 Protestants aren't a monolith. Many Protestant denominations realize that the KJV is errant. A radical fringe believe it to be the inerrant word of God in English, despite its demonstrable changes from the original text.
Yes, good point - that was one of the five solaes, sola scriptura.
Corretion on the Priesthood: Joseph Smith claimed that Peter, James, and John appeared to him and Oliver Cowdery and gave them the preisthood authority. So the mormons claim to get their authority from those three apostles as well.
The discussion between mormons and Catholics hinges on whether the priesthood Jesus gave to Peter dwindled and was eventually lost during the centuries after the deaths of the apostles, or carried on through all subsequent Bishops of Rome.

It should be noted about tithing in the LDS church. To get into the highest heaven, you must "go through the tremple". To do this you must get a "Temple Recommend". To get a Temple Recommend you must be currrent on paying your ten percent tithe. Your Bishop will know your salary and will calculate it accordingly. If you are not curernt on your tithing, going through the Temple is a no-go. So you must essentially pay your way to get to heaven. This is why the LDS church is so rich - money reserves in the billiions of dollars.
This is just factually false. Your bishop doesn’t know how much you make and doesn’t calculate to see if you are paying your full tithing, it’s a simple yes or no question, and the bishop takes it at face value, if he’s doing his job. It’s true tithing is required for a temple recommend, but the law of tithing was established by Christ, so it’s completely scriptural.
@@MichaelHodgkinson Please site Christ's command on tithing. I don't recall him ever asking for money, and I recall him saying many things concerning Temple offerings which seem contrary
@@whatsup3270Matthew 23:23 and Luke 11:42
Sure… but it’s not as mandated as much as you think it is, members can go in debt, or be financially crippled for a temporary time and the church can help when asked (paying for debt or receipts), it’s not as much of a one way street as you would assume it is.
this is not correct. the "highest heaven" is called the celestial kingdom. to enter that, all one must do is accept baptism by proper authority.
you DO NOT share you salary or pay stubs with the bishop. thats just odd. its an honor system.
and no, you dont "pay your way". jesus paid the full price for salvation. if you make 0 dollars and pay 0 dollars, you are a full tithe payer.
0:20 where is the wife of God??!!
mentioned later in the video
she is not typically considered apart of the Godhead. we dont worship her or pray to her or anything.

It is insulting that you would even consider Putting Mormons vs actual Christians
What's so insulting about it? Mormons are actual Christians too
So this means Catholic kinda a modernized version of Mormon right? With less dogmas and rules such as open for LGBT, no rules for tithing etc
The Catholic Church is the church established by Christ himself.
And Mormonism is for the most part a scam by a conman that has gone on for far too long.
Mormonism is heresy
I think Mormon is actually the modernized version of Catholic. Catholics’s doctrines, in many parts, don’t make sense. Mormonism fixed many of those.
The Mormons kinda split from other branches of Christianity, they were made by some random American dude. Catholicism is the first christian denomination, Jesus made it around AD 33 (Yes that's long ago!)
The video is good at comparing Brighamites and Catholics, but that’s the problem. Calling the Brighamite sect “Mormons” is like calling Catholics “Christians” throughout the video without a note that emphasizes that their Catholics.
Brother Catholics are Christian
Catholics are Christians, though. All Catholics are Christian, but not all Christians are Catholics.
i mean, brighamites compose like 98% of mormons so... in a way, they own it.
Why would you make a video comparing the Catholic Church and Mormonism? Thats like saying “hmmm what’s the difference between fine dining and eating literal crap? Let’s find out.”
some prots compare the churches. It makes little sense, but they do.
As part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I've often thought that many of my beliefs that don't line up with Protestant Christianity actually fit nicely in with what I understand of Catholicism. For instance (and I'll try to use Catholic terminology here):
Catholics feel a fellowship with those believers who have already died and are in purgatory or heaven--the "Church suffering" and "Church triumphant". The LDS practice of baptism for the dead is a way we can directly intercede on behalf of the Church suffering, in particular those who would likely be among the Church triumphant if only they had received baptism into the Faith during their lifetime. And while we don't pray that the Saints intercede with God on our behalf, we do believe God may dispatch them to intercede on our behalf.
Also, Catholic/Orthodox and the Latter-day Saints seem to be the only churches who care about having a "line of authority" to trace their priesthood ordinations back to Jesus Christ. You just believe that authority has persisted since the Apostles while we believe it lapsed with their deaths. (I know Peter ordained Linus as the bishop of Rome, but we hold Apostle and Bishop to be very different offices, and we say it was specifically the apostolic authority that was lost, and along with it the authority to ordain further bishops.)
@@MusicBlik the baptism of the dead denies the free will of those who died. It’s solidly unacceptable in the church to do so.
Our church teachings are also in direct conflict with many ideals inside of Mormonism.
@@FatBoy42069 I won't deny there are conflicts, but for you to accuse us of denying the free will of the deceased we're baptized for is to miss the ENTIRE point of that ordinance. We do NOT believe those dead we baptize by proxy are forcibly made members of our church. Rather, the ordinance is made available for them to accept or reject. In our view, baptism is an essential saving ordinance, which they did not properly receive in life. We are ENABLING their free will.
Honestly, I don't see what the fuss is all about, surrounding baptisms for the dead. If we're right and they need it, it is the MOST IMPORTANT WORK we could POSSIBLY be engaged in. And if we're wrong, and it has NO effect on their salvation, then our effort is futile and we're simply wasting our time. And if we're SUPER wrong, and it's of the devil, do you really think God would allow our actions to jeopardize anyone's salvation if they were already bound for heaven? Maybe you can explain your feelings to me, since I cannot understand the outrage so many outside our church seem to feel towards this practice.
@@FatBoy42069 No it doesn't, they still have a choice to accept the baptism or not

Okay but all Christians know Jesus had earthly brothers
No… Jesus had no siblings
@@odaviation8682yes, but he had spiritual siblings. That would be us because we are all children of god
Jesus was an only child. James was his cousin, the word "brother" used originally is relative of the same age or generation. James was the son of Alpheus, brother of Joseph. Mary had no other children, was born without sin like Eve, and died a virgin.
Earthy yes, biological No
catholics do not believe such.
