Easy they interceed for us cuz
saint are not dead
Saints never die They are living not dead
Cuz christ said in John 11:26 as whoever believes in me will not 𝙙𝙞𝙚.
Its the word of the lord not mine
So see further from that brother
& im not a Catholic defending this dogma but They are correct about this according to the scriptures
Show me the Bible verse where Jesus says to pray to Mary, last I checked the only verse tells us to pray to Heavenly Father.
@@WhiteRanger1298
1st you show me a verse that says don't pray to the virgin Merry & i will 100% show you after you show me
@@SPDALL Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Jesus taught to pray to the Father. There is no need to say don't pray to this human or that human. You pray to the one who gives life.
@@WhiteRanger1298 @White Ranger
So i cannot pray to Jesus i can only pray
only to the father
By the way in that verse it doesn't say pray only to the father & the English version looks kinda contradictory with the koine Greek its our language & our book you're playing with but i don't see any word that says only &BTW you also read 2 Corinthian 9:14 😇☦️
"God is not the God of the dead, but of the living"
None of the saints are dead. They are alive in heaven. As per Matthew 22:32.
Nice false translation 👎 Read the context. Those who obey God have life. Those who don’t do not. The Catholic Church is notorious for making up their own doctrines and changing the word of God. They’re proud of changing the sabbath to Sunday but no man can change Gods commandments which is why their true father is Satan .
Well Catholics pray to their dead Mary, and dead saints.

@@THE-WAY_THE-TRUTH_THE-LIFE. ... I don't rely on individual talk. My source comes the Bible and I agree All to what Jesus said.
If I thought the Saints were dead I would not be a Christian. Christians have always believed that the Church is one body, and that body is not necrotic, it’s very much alive because it’s the body of Christ.
I don't think you understand what the "body of Christ" is... The Bible is very clear that people who are dead know nothing. The saints are in fact dead, because they were mere mortal humans. When Christ talks about the body of Christ being alive, He's talking about the spirit of the church, and the resurrections. When the DEAD shall rise again... Nobody who died is alive up in heaven.

Yes, that's the kind of testimony people need to hear, cause then they'll hopefully get it. I am Eastern Orthodox, a convert from protestantism. I started my journey partly because I read some really ignorant articles that some Reformed people had written. One of these narrow-minded articles is called 'When you are more blessed than the Virgin Mary' It is still online, google it. Even to my heavily Protestant ears that I had back then it was just foul and evil, draw really stupid unbiblical unwarranted conclusions. I though to myself, are these people really contemplating things properly? They do not understand things cohesively and try insolently to create tensions and divisions which are not there in the first place. They do not understand the RCC not the Eastern Orthodox. I am into becoming RCC, no problems with our theology in Eastern Orthodox church but we are not really united in faith and practice. We have massive problems and no practical way to solve these issue because we have no visible head. Love to hear such wonderful testimonies as the one you told us about. God bless you my dear.

Very blessed ❤
I have question. What if it's not from God. Satan can appear as an angel of light right. My great grandfather saw Mary. But it seems that many catholic call Mary a queen of heaven and that's so wrong, she is not God. Jesus told us to pray to the Father.
@@pativens6979the Devil cannot even look at Mary without shitting his pants. How do you expect him to transform into her? The Holy Virgin Mary is honored even by Jesus himself. Jesus, crowned her as "Queen of All Saints" and not heaven. She's the Queen of all Saints. That's correction. Furthermore, back to the "devil as mary" thingy, Mary is the one prophesized to battle the devil, where she'll step on his head and he'll bite her ankles (it's in the bible) and proven and tested for hundreds if not thousands of years by multiple exorcism throughout history that demons are scared of the Virgin Mary (that's why the holy rosary is considered an exorcism prayer).
The Virgin Mother and the Holy Saints aren't dead, they have Eternal Life with God in Heaven.
Where they continually glorify God, and pray for our salvation!

Are they omnipresent, can they hear everyone’s prayers at the same time?
Dear friends mary is not dead.She is here for us in these times.
In other words you mean Jesus didn't die for our sins Mary did???
@lebomorake-dj9ro nope. Jesus died for our sins. Saints join us and cry out for justice , hold our prayers and witnesses us and join us as Hebrews and revelation states.
Lot of protestants like to skip difficult verses. Remember where do prayers go? Who owns them? What does the Bible say? All prayers are owned by saints put in a bowl. Lifted up by angels and given to God. You can't subtract that because you don't like it. Oh it is metaphor. Okay why can't you say all of the Bible is. Etc I take it literally.
@@sonicrocks2007 You mean like Catholics skipping over verses like 1 Timothy 4:1-5, Galatians 4:10-11, Titus 1:9, 1 Corinthians 4:6 and Hebrews 10:10?
@kevinkane9446
1 Timothy 4 is talking about gnostics who banned all marriage for every body. Catholicism allows people to be married and even priests in some circumstances. Remember who caused that. The protestants. The protestants pushed against the catholic church in 1100s to stop priests from marrying. The protoprotestants were the cause of that. And it isn't ban for all people
Galatians 4:10 is about pagans slipping back into pagan holidays. Kinda really unrelated to catholicism.
Titus 1:10 refers to protestants.
1 Corinthians is about boosting that you do more than what is required this goes to protestants who ban coffee, rock and roll , and dancing and boast about it.
Hebrews 10:10 is about being holy, holy and fully sanctified are different. The Israelite people despite worshiping baal are holy. They are not sanctified. Holiness and completion of sanctification are different.
@sonicrocks2007 1 Timothy 4 would still apply today. When the Catholic church comes along and says you must fast on all Fridays of lent and ash Wednesday (Can.1249-53) this would be considered a doctrine of demons. There is nothing wrong with choosing to fast but to make it a requirement is against scripture.
I don't typically use the NLT translation, but it's fitting in this case as this translation describes catholics perfectly. There's no denying catholics attempt to earn favor and grace with God through these ridiculous rituals like lent, fasting, repetitive prayers, and acts of penance.
Galatians 4:10-11 You are trying to earn favor with God by observing certain days or months or seasons or years. 11 I fear for you. Perhaps all my hard work with you was for nothing.
Titus 1:9 refers to teaching sound doctrine and confuting those who oppose it, so if Catholics were truly following the Word of God pope francis would have been removed from his position long ago.
1 Corinthians 4:6 says not to go beyond what is written so when catholics teach things like these Marian dogmas, lent, repetitive prayers and doing acts of penance as a part of receiving God's forgiveness it would fall under that category.
Hebrews 10:10 is clear that we are sanctified once for ALL we do not need to go to a confession box and tell another sinful man everything we've done wrong week after week and then repeat a bunch of prayers and do acts of penance as a part of receiving God's forgiveness.

We don’t believe the saints are dead. We believe they are more alive than we are because they are in heaven.
That doesn’t mean pray to them. We are only supposed to pray to God. Our prayers go directly to Him. We don’t need Mary and the saints to intercede for us Jesus and the Holy Spirit intercedes for us to the Father. I have great respect for Mary but she was a human being just like the rest of us. She is not God or a God and should not be worshipped or prayed to. Yes she is alive and well in heaven but isn’t that the case for everyone in heaven? We have direct access to God. He is omnipresent. Our prayers aren’t somewhere on hold until Mary or the saints go deliver them to Him. He hears you the moment you begin to speak to Him. Even when we’re not praying He is still here listening. God bless you. 🫶🏽
@@TriceSmith “To pray” means “to ask.” It does not mean to worship. It’s old English - the language of Shakespeare. “pray tell.” “I pray you to tell me.” For the 1500 years before Protestantism, there was only the Catholic Church, and it believed in the Saints, it believed Mary was the new arc of the covenant, and that she was unique in salvation history. There is archeological evidence of hymns to Mary in the first century A.D. There was also no dispute until 1500 years after Christs death over the Eucharist. The Christianity you’ve been taught is all well and good, it’s just not the Christianity the disciples knew and spread in the ancient world. It would have been something very foreign to them. The Catholic Church may seem weird to Protestants, but it has not changed in 2000 years since it was instituted by Christ.
@@iemiranda5734 Prayer is communication whether we’re asking for something, giving thanks to God or just simply talking to God. Why pray to Mary and the saints when I can talk directly to God? Mary is not God she doesn’t hear our prayers. I go by the Christianity that was written in the Bible. I’m a follower of Jesus Christ I have a relationship with God not Mary and the saints. That’s no disrespect to them. But how about this, we can agree to disagree. You can do what you want but as for me I’m going to continue to pray to my God only. There’s no need for division if you believe that Jesus is our Lord and savior and live by that faith then you are my brother or sister in Christ (sorry idk your gender) and if you’re right then when we get to heaven I will personally admit you were right and I was wrong. I have absolutely no problem admitting my wrongs but until then, God bless you.
@@TriceSmith Worship is reserved for God alone in the Church. However, those who are close to God in I heaven, I talk to. I ask Mary, my patron saints, and guardian angel to pray for me like you might ask a friend to pray for you. It’s the same thing. 300 years before the bible was compiled (by the Catholic Church) there was only sacred tradition. In that tradition we get the saints, the Eucharist, Mary, and so on. The early church fathers, spoke about all of these things. St Polycarp was a follower of John the evangelist and reaffirms the early church’s belief in them. I would encourage you to look into them. The early church fathers give insight into what Christianity looked like a generation away from Christ. Very interesting.
@@iemiranda5734 Worshipping God can happen anywhere it’s not just secluded in a church. But look we have two different beliefs. I’m not asking Mary and the saints to intercede for me. Jesus himself and the Holy Spirit intercedes for me to our Heavenly Father. I don’t need Mary to do that for me. There is nothing that you can say to me to get me to start praying to Mary and the saints, just like there’s nothing I can say to you to get you to understand that you can just talk to God yourself without trying to go through all these people. So the convo is pretty much dead. Yes I agree Mary is a wonderful woman of God, very holy and is alive enjoying heaven but I don’t need her. I only need God. Jesus is the only way to heaven.
those who lived in Christ are not truly dead but have eternal life.
AMEN
Then why does god forbid dealing with DEAD spirits?
@@bye92 .. The Roman Catholic Church still talks to dead people today. I glad that I'm not doing it.
@@jacobtennyson9213 when we pray we are sorrounded by a cloud of witnesses

Truly intercession is canon
@@adude849 ..Yes living saints not dead saints.
Be careful brothers and sisters in Christ, remember what the Lord said on the cross:
"'Woman, behold thy son'. Then to the disciple he said: 'Behold your mother'."
I would clarify the we do not worship Mary, for God alone is worthy of worship. We love and respect Mary as our Mother through Christ. We ask for her intercession, wether our prayers, request are answered is completely up to God.😇
Proper Way Jesus asks us to pray in unity.
Matthew 18:18-20 NLT
[18] “I tell you the truth, whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven. 👉[19] “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on EARTH 🌎 concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. [20] For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”
You miss the most beautiful part about being IN CHRIST. Those in Christ are not DEAD but are LIVING. Mary the mother of God is not dead.
Before Mary was born, Jesus already existed. And although they are not Spiritually dead, they are Physically dead. Only Jesus is both Spiritually and Physically alive as he experienced death yet defeated death by his resurrection.
Hebrews 7:23-25 NLT
[23] There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office. [24] But because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever. [25] Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.
💬She alive through Christ as anyone who believes and follows Jesus, but she is dead physically. Only Jesus is alive both Spiritually and Physically as he experienced death yet defeated it by his resurrection. He is the living source and outside of him no one can live.

The truly dead arr in hell. But saints and especially Mary in heaven are more alive than we are.
You are debased, your thinking is divided. Find more knowledge then you'll understand
@jrkawaykla8183 if we all had true understanding there wouldn't be so many denominations claiming to be correct
Menofvirtue, can you substantiate your comments with scripture?
The dead are not in hell. The dead are dead in the grave. Until Jesus picks them up if they accept Him as His savior long ago. Or be in judgement and hellfire if they refuse Him and die in their own sins.
@jacobtennyson9213 ok are you taking this straight from scripture? If so do you believe in solo Scriptura
I think I’ll stick with the one true apostolic Church who is 1500 years older than any other Protestant denomination.
Amen!!!!!
We should stay with & obey the word of God. Leviticus 19:31
‘Do not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.

@@BlessedUgo2862is that what you are saying
These were the teachings the apostles left which one of the apostles Peter who was very close to Jesus and was thought this by Jesus him self so you are kinda denying the true way and making it your own way
A famous quote from Peter Kreeft:
"Let 500 Protestants read the Bible and interpret it, and you'll have 500 new churches."
This quote highlights the idea that when individuals interpret the Bible without the guidance of a larger Christian tradition and authority, they may come to different conclusions and start their own denominations or churches. This has indeed been a phenomenon in Protestantism, leading to a proliferation of denominations and independent churches. Kreeft's quote is a commentary on this phenomenon, suggesting that individual interpretation of Scripture can lead to a fragmentation of Christianity.
This channel is from the devil

Year 1531, the moment the priest accepted a false Gospel, Juan claimed Mary appeared asking to make her a shrine as to call upon her is the very moment the Catholic church fell into Idolotry. The Gospel is: we come directly to God in the name of Jesus with the help of the Holy Spirit. Anything added to this plan established by God is considered false Gospel.

💬It is history as told by your church. Nothing to do with me. Going beyond God's established plan has consequences. Eve being an example. And God established Jesus being our Last High Priest to represent us as we can come directly to God in the name of Jesus. The Holy Spirit is our guide through Scripture. Anyone going beyond are not followers of the Truth.

You’re twisting the meaning of his words. Yes saints are alive in heaven but they are bodily deceased. That is the meaning of death that he is using in this context. The verse you quoted even says “though he dies”.
I used to think the same but… I asked St. Anne and the Virgin Mary to pray for me, that I may be healed and have a child. I had uncontrollable seizures after an endometriosis surgery where I was told I would probably not be able to have children. I prayed the rosary every night and promised that if Our Lady prayed to her Son for me that I would dedicate my child to loving the Lord. I miraculously survived after weeks in ICU for the seizures where I saw Mary clothed in white light!!!! Three months later my husband and I were pregnant with our beautiful miracle and I have been seizure free for over 10 years!! Her middle name is Lily in honor of the purity of Our Mother and her prayers.
It was through Mary asking Jesus for a miracle that He revealed Himself at the Wedding at Cana! Jesus honors His mother by granting her prayers. Not everyone has righteous people to pray for them, that is what the saints are. They are the righteous in Heaven who will pray for us continuously. God bless!! ❤️🙏

You should get a Catholic Bible, it has all of the books of the Bible. Scripture and traditions are both important, don’t put your faith in the hands of a Martin Luther edition.
The whole New Testament is in tact. As for the books taken out, they are proven to be made after Jesus, so they should not form part of the Old Testament. And even if they do indeed read from the Catholic Bible we operate under the New Covenant in Christ a fact found even within that Catholics bible. So it changes nothing.

There is only one mediator between God and men.
*1 Timothy 2:5* (NLT)
For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity--the man Christ Jesus.
I saw your comment and there’s no easy way to say this. I apologize if my words bring you sorrow. *Matthew 16:18* is used by the Catholic Church to support their pontification theory, but I find no scripture that show Peter as superior to the others.
- Eamon Duffy, an Irish historian, said, “There is, therefore, nothing directly approaching a papal theory in the pages of the New Testament,” and “from all indications, there was no single bishop of Rome for almost a century after the deaths of the apostles”.
- Eamon Duffy is a Catholic Historian and he basically refutes that *Matthew 16:18* alludes to or supports papal authority. He said it without any confusion that the scriptures do not support the papacy. Therefore Peter was not singled out. When Christ said, “upon this Rock, I build my church”…. to say that he was forming a papacy through a lineage of Peter is speculation.
- If that were true, there would be other scriptures to cross-reference the theory of Pontification. Paul would have had to check in with Peter if Peter was the Pope. Instead, Paul went to see Ananias. In fact, no man is infallible, but Peter was far less than infallible when he showed himself to be partial to the Gentiles. *Galatians 2:11-13.*. Paul checked Peter for his conduct.
- The Rock is spiritual, not human.
*1 Corinthians 10:4* and all of them drank the same spiritual water. For they drank from the spiritual rock that traveled with them, and that rock was Christ. 🎈
@@redbird9000 nobody is claiming that the saints are mediators. If youll read that verse in context, a few verses earlier paul commands us to intercede for eachother, just like the saints do. Here is what the bible teaches about the saints
1. Theyre alive
2. Theyre praying for us
3. It is good to intercede for other believers, and to ask others for intercession.
How does this NOT apply to the saints in heaven?
@@orionc.5407 No one goes to the father but by way of Christ. Any person who has passed away should not be entreated. There is no scripture that supports the theory or belief that Mary was assumed into heaven.

Mary is a human woman. She does not have powers to hear millions of prayers from heaven. This is heresy.
Please repent while you have time👏🏽
*John 14:6* Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
Mother Mary and the Saints aren’t dead. The term “to pray” originally meant “to ask”, until it’s meaning got changed over time. When you hear a Catholic “praying” to Mary, they are simply asking for her intersection or asking for her prayers. Same goes for the Saints. Hope this helped.
First of all no one is in heaven until the resurrection. Secondly it’s a sin to communicate with the dead. Read your Bible. You’ll be responsible on judgement day

Mary found me in the pit of sin when I forgot all about who Jesus was. She prayed diligently for me for many years. Her aura even appeared to me. I did not understand it for a long time. She taught me how to transform from being a sinful, adulterous woman to being COMPLETELY chaste. She reintroduced me to her Son Jesus. I had never had any teaching on Mary. I grew up LDS where they don’t believe in her. She had compassion on me as a suffering mother who had been rejected. She felt empathy for me bc she has been rejected by the world. DONT TELL ME SHE IS NOT ACTIVE AND PRAYING AS AN INTERCESSOR FOR US. Without her, I would not have come back to Jesus. In fact, WITHOUT HER NO ONE WOULD KNOW JESUS. Duh! She brought Him to this world!

Because Protestants take out the book, 2 Maccabees, that talks about praying for the dead. Just as Martin Luther took out the Epistle of James because it says “faith without works is dead”. Basically if anything disagrees with your presuppositions you just ignore or remove the text. This is not actions of people who seek truth.

Woah. This absolutely changed my mind. I am gonna be Protestant now (not).
Christ literally says that those who die in Him are alive. We don't pray to the dead. We ask those who are more alive than we to pray for us.
Read 1st samuel chapter 28 verse 5-15. Stop praying to anyone that isn't Jesus Christ lol
CBS where in the Bible is that supported? I the prayer that Jesus taught his apostles, he told them to pray directly to their Father in heaven
Good for you. Free yourself from Catholic slavery.
@@asto5767you do know Paul asks for other to intercede(pray for him) 6 times in the Bible. (Rom 15:30-32, Eph6:18-20,Col4:3,1 thess 5:25, 2thes 3:1).
So if ‘asking others besides Jesus to pray for you’ is considered a moral good in the Bible, how is it evil to ‘ask others besides Jesus to pray for you’.
Of course that’s not a bad thing, the video itself admits we should intercede. The question then is, is it spiritualism to ask a Saint to intercede for you. Let’s just ignore the fact spiritualism is condemned by the Catholic and Orthodox church’s, by threat of excommunication. Let’s simple ask, does it fit the definition:
Spiritualism believes you can have a two way conversation with the dead. And you’ve already hit a snag. John 11:25 “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die”. Wait so the saints in heaven are alive, even though they died? Yup. But wait you may ask, wasn’t the videos whole problem that you shouldn’t talk to the dead, but through Jesus saints aren’t dead. Yah, you can’t have spiritualism with alive people.
Now in rev 5:8 it states “When he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty four elders fell down before the lamb, each holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS”.
Now the Protestants changes the word “saint” to “God’s people” in their bibles. So let’s go to the Greek to settle this. The Greek word used is “hagiōn” which means “holy ones” and is more accurately translated to saint. This is because the word is only given to people who were saved by Jesus Christ, aka a saint.
@@baumholderh8425 1: Asking others as in those who are physically on this earth, not people that are sleeping in Christ.
2: read 1st samuel 28:5-15. You'll see that you shouldn't be asking for intervention/intercession from those that have passed away.
3: This is just your first argument but again, this is clearly meant for those that are among us on this earth. Christ is the way, truth and life; you don't ask a saint to get you to Jesus' extension number and then you can contact him. It's a 1:1 connection to God, and you don't need saints.
4: Just because they pray for you in heaven doesn't mean you need to ask THEM for prayers. This mentality is very greco-roman pagan tier and it comes from a lack of wisdom
5: The prayers of the saints are exactly that. The prayers of the saints. They are not the requests of people on earth lol. Stop overcomplicating your own faith in Christ for no reason. Ask GOD for the things you want, not a Saint. Philosophically speaking, you're asking the wrong question when you say "what's so bad about praying to saints?" But the real question is "why should you request prayers from saints when you could speak with the Lord?" He knows our hearts, the saints do not.
6: Yeah and even when Cornellius bowed to Peter, Peter corrected him and told him that only God is worthy of being bowed. But here today we see people bowing before icons of saints under the guise of "Veneration". Stop coping and quit doing mental gymnastics for your idolatry. It is diluting your faith in Jesus Christ.
I have Cahtolic friends and I absolutely love them. I have never seen a scripture where God told us to pray to Mary or any other saint. Jesus told us to pray to the Father in Jesus' Name. I asked my Catholic friends to give me scriptures on praying to Mary/the saints. None of the scriptures I received said to pray to Mary or any other saint. I LOVE my Catholic friends and hang out with them as the Lord leads me. And I keep my faith in Jesus pure also when I am in the midst of them. I am honest and tell the truth when the Holy Spirit has me say something. When He says don't say anything, I don't. It is important that we follow our Lord in spirit and truth and LOVE people. ❤️✝️ A lot of times (whether Christian or Catholic), we can follow wrong teaching when we do not meditate on the Bible with the Holy Spirit. When you meditate on the Bible with the Holy Spirit day and night (not just morning and night but throughout the day as we go about our day) as God told us to do in scripture, you learn the Word of God. You learn the truth and you start following the Lord in spirit and truth because you're meditating on the Bible with the Holy Spirit for yourself and not relying on a Pastor or a Priest for the whole truth. Because even though we love our Pastor/Priests and honor them, they can make mistakes. Their info might be wrong. In the Bible, God says watch so you don't fall. So, we all need to be diligent and meditate on the Bible with the Holy Spirit for ourselves. We got to know the truth of the Word of God so that noone can deceive us knowingly or unknowingly.. ❤️
Catholics are Christians. You should say Protestant or Catholic.
No one else was worthy. Imagine if Mary said "no".
Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus- flesh of your flesh and blood of your blood; and the Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us.
Holy Mary, mother of God and our mother, we love you. Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, snatch us from the fires of hell and bring us to God through Jesus Christ, Amen. 🌹🌹🌹
Hebrews 12.1 says we are “surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses.” The saints are not dead people. They are alive in Christ and we share our faith with them and they share their faith and their prayers with us.
Proper Way to pray in unity as taught by Jesus himself:
Matthew 18:18-20 NLT
[18] “I tell you the truth, whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven. 👉[19] “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on EARTH 🌎 concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. [20] For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”
@@ic1493 In unity with the entirety of the Body of Christ, which is not limited to those on Earth, but includes those in Heaven as well.
@@GamingxKnight incorrect. Those who die inheret rest after death.
Hebrews 4:10-11 NLT
[10] For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world. [11] So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall.
@@ic1493 Labors. The labors of this world. We don't labor, feel pain or sorrow, or temptation to sin in Heaven with the Lord. We die a human death but our soul lives on. If those in Heaven are 'dead' as you and Protestantism falsely claims, then you will have to call Jesus a liar, as He said that even if we die, so long as we put our faith in Him, we will live, we will have Eternal Life. Not only that, you'll have to say that God stops being your God after you die as God is not the God of the dead, but the living. So after we die, according to you, God is no longer our God.
@GamingxKnight
💬if the priest could not continue on with their earthly roles neither can anyone else who dies. The role of the priest at the time was to mediate/intercede for the people. But now Jesus is our last High Priest according to the book of Hebrews.
📖Hebrews 7:23-25 NLT
[23] There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office. [24] But because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever. [25] Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. 👉He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.
Sir, if you personally do not believe the Virgin Mary and the Saints are alive in heaven with Jesus, then don't pray to them. Please do not misrepresent my religion and call it spiritualism because we DO BELIEVE they are alive in heaven with Jesus Christ. Thank you.
Spiritually alive yes, but Physically they are dead. Only Jesus is alive both Spiritually and Physically as he experienced death and defeated it by his resurrection and ascending to his throne.

Mary, the Apostles, and all who died in Christ inherited rest from their labors. Jesus was given the role of Hight Priest to intercede/mediate in our behalf. You cannot give roles that God did not give otherwise you will be considered preaching a different Gospel. We can come directly to God because of Jesus. This is the message at hand. Sin separated us from God Jesus paid the price and now we can come confidently before God our Father by the complete cleansing of our sins through Jesus.
Hebrews 4:1 NLT
[1] God’s promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought to tremble with fear that some of you might fail to experience it. [3] For only we who believe can enter his rest. As for the others, God said, “In my anger I took an oath: ‘They will never enter my place of rest,’” even though this rest has been ready since he made the world. [10] For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world. [11] So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall.[15] This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. [16] So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

Only Jesus can forgive sin.
@@maryleneellis7069sorry but no, that's not Biblical at all.
When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
John 20:20-23
Jesus loves you!
@@SonOfThineHandmaid it is Biblical. Jesus did on the cross for the sins of the world. He is the only one who has the power to forgive sins.
It is not Biblical to pray to Mary or any saint. 1 Samuel 28: 5-15. Saul has a medium contact the spirit of Samuel. Samuel was a man of God, a prophet and has been in the temple of the Lord since childhood, a saint if you will. You know what he said to Saul when he appeared in spirit? He said, "Why are you bothering me?" Even the holy saints you pray to want to be left alone. Only Jesus can interceed for you. Therefore pray to Jesus.
@@maryleneellis7069 "Only Jesus can intercede for you."
This too is false and completely unbiblical. Saint Paul is very clear when he tells believers to intercede on behalf of all men. The passage about Samuel in the Old Testament occurred before Christ's resurrection opened the gates of heaven to men. Now, the departed Christians are in heaven and are therefore more alive in Christ than we who are still in this vale of tears. Their intercession is powerful. If you think the intercession of the saints contradicts the book of Samuel, you would benefit from studying the Christian faith more closely.
1) Did you notice Saul was not asking for Samuel's intercessory prayer? He was rather trying to SUMMON his spirit. This is called necromancy, and is a sin.
2) Asking the glorified body of Christ in heaven to intercede for us by their prayers to God is not necromancy. You would benefit greatly from studying what is and is not necromancy.
3) Can you please explain to me how you think your belief that "only Jesus can forgive sins" does not contradict John 20:20-23? I notice you completely ignored that verse when I presented it to you. Is there a reason for that?
4) Can you please explain to me how you think your belief that "only Jesus can intercede for us" does not contradict 1 Timothy 2:1?
"But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to a judge who is God of all, and to THE SPIRITS OF JUST MEN MADE PERFECT, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks more graciously than the blood of Abel."
Hebrews 12:22-24
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
You mean Jesus right?
Only Jesus Can forgive you of sin
Guys, they are not dead. Mother Mary and the saints are not dead. This is what our lord Jesus said:
John 11:25-26 (NIV):
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
In Christianity, we Christians are immortal. Because The one who believes in Jesus Christ, ‘in actions and in thoughts’ will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.
Amen.

I saw your comment and there’s no easy way to say this. I apologize if my words bring you sorrow. *Matthew 16:18* is used by the Catholic Church to support their pontification theory, but I find no scripture that show Peter as superior to the others.
- Eamon Duffy, an Irish historian, said, “There is, therefore, nothing directly approaching a papal theory in the pages of the New Testament,” and “from all indications, there was no single bishop of Rome for almost a century after the deaths of the apostles”. The Catholic National, a Catholic organ published this quote in July 1895.
- Eamon Duffy was a Catholic Historian and he basically refutes that *Matthew 16:18* alludes to or supports papal authority. He said it without any confusion that the scriptures do not support the papacy. Therefore Peter was not singled out. When Christ said, “upon this Rock, I build my church”…. to say that he was forming a papacy through a lineage of Peter is speculation.
- If that were true, there would be other scriptures to cross-reference the theory of Pontification. Paul would have had to check in with Peter if Peter was the Pope. Instead, Paul went to see Ananias. In fact, no man is infallible, but Peter was far less than infallible when he showed himself to be partial to the Gentiles. *Galatians 2:11-13.*. Paul checked Peter for his conduct.
- The Rock is spiritual, not human.
*1 Corinthians 10:4* and all of them drank the same spiritual water. For they drank from the spiritual rock that traveled with them, and that rock was Christ. 🙏🏾
The saints are more alive than we are.
Amen!
All Christians who are alive, saved, and sanctified (set apart, made holy by God) are called saints in the New Testament. Jesus taught us to pray directly to God the Father in the Lord's prayer, and then commissioned us to pray in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as he ascended to Heaven. No where does the Bible tell us to pray to people who have died. It's an insult to God to pray to a messenger to deliver your words when God is right in front of you.
@@mei.mei1 So you never ask family, friends, the church to pray for you?
@@Ellen-vc7xn they're breathing and alive, so yes I can ask family and friends to pray with me and for me. I don't perform necromancy by talking to the dead. Necromancy is also called spiritism, divination, and sorcery in the Bible and is forbidden many times in Scripture (Leviticus 19:26; Deuteronomy 18:10; Galatians 5:19-20; Acts 19:19) and is an an abomination to God. Jesus is the only one who can intercede on our behalf, as is written throughout the Bible in the Old and New Testament.
Those who are dedicated to the teachings of Christ are called saints (Matt 27:52 ; Acts 9:13 ; 26:10 ; Rev 14:12 ). Six of Paul's letters to churches are addressed to saints, aka Christ followers who have been sanctified/made holy by God (Romans, 1-2 Corinthians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians).
Saints, in the New Testament, are never deceased individuals who have been canonized by the church and given sainthood. They are living individuals who have dedicated themselves to the worship and service of the one true God as revealed through his Son, Jesus Christ. Which means we are ALL called to be saints for the Kingdom of God. Even the children of such parents are called "sanctified" ( 1 Cor 7:14-15 ). That is, they are considered undefiled by paganism if at least one of their parents is a Christian.
@@Ellen-vc7xn See Romans 1:7, Romans 8:27, 1 Corinth 1:2, 2 Corinth 1:1, Colossians 1:2, Ephesians 1:1, Ephesians 5:3, Philippians 1:1, Jude 1:3. These were written to the early Christians as instructions for Christ followers, aka all of us. We are ALL called to be saints, that's why God calls us to be holy because He is holy (Leviticus 19:2), and to be salt and light of the world (Matt 5:13-16). What use would God have for people to become saints/Holy/light and salt in the world AFTER they've died?
We're made holy through Jesus Christ's death and resurrection even while we're alive so that we can be the arms and legs to do Kingdom works as we were commissioned by Jesus to do.
Sir, I am sorry to correct you on this as a protestant brother in Chris but the catholic church does not teach that the saints are dead. They are more alive than we are because they are already in full communion with the Lord in heaven.

Those defaming the Catholic Church are ignorant in our faith, traditions and more importantly, the fact that the Catholic Church is the rock of Christianity. Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing.
Traditions that are put above the written word of God. Many of us started in the Catholic church and know this first hand. 99% of catholics have never read the bible, do not read the Bible regularly or truly study scripture. They only rely on what the church teaches about their traditions. Many "protestants" and denominational churches are guilty of the same thing.
At the end of the day it's not about religion and traditions. It's about having a real relationship with Jesus Christ and truly being born again through Christ. It's about God truly changing your heart and soul from the inside. Circumcision of the heart.
Bro, we literally EAT God once a week. Get outta here with that personal relationship Protestant garbage.
Furthermore, the Bible was compiled in the year 382 at the Council of Rome. THE CHURCH was alive and kicking before then. 2 Thessolonians 3:6 baby.

When Christians ask the saints for intercession, do they require a medium?

He is not mistaken as Jesus was the only one granted the role of intercessor as taught in the book of Hebrews. He earned his rights by experiencing death yet defeating it by his resurrection and ascending to his throne.
📖❤ Hebrews 7:23-25 NLT
[23] There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office. [24] But because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever. [25] Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. 👉He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.
Just as the priest of the old covenant had physical limitations after death. Mary and the Apostles also have human limitations. Only Jesus was given rights by his sacrifice.
Your mistake is talking to the dead, nowhere do we find that Mary rose from the dead. Even her genealogy is obscure because you must not follow her light.
Jesus died for us and rose from the dead so we can have the opportunity to live in heaven for eternity. If someone is in heaven, they are closer to God than us. So if they listen to our prayers they can help us reach out to God on our behalf. Saying we shouldn't pray to saints because they are dead is like saying we shouldn't pray to Jesus because he died.
Incorrect. Jesus may have died but he defeated death by resurrecting. And since he experienced death and defeated it, he was given the role of intercessor as he is our last High Priest forever.

The "dead" saints are actually alive in Heaven, God gave them eternal life.
1 Samuel 28: 5-15. Saul has a medium contact the spirit of Samuel. Samuel was a man of God, a prophet and has been in the temple of the Lord since childhood, a saint if you will. You know what he said to Saul when he appeared in spirit? He said, "Why are you bothering me?" Even the holy saints you pray to want to be left alone. Only Jesus can interceed for you. Therefore pray to Jesus.
@@maryleneellis7069 And who are you to interpret the Bible? The Bible maybe infallible but you and I or not, Ieave interpretation up to the Church and the Saints chosen by God. According to many Church Fathers this spirit was in fact NOT Samuel but a demon. Samuel consulted with medium/spiritist which was outlawed in Israel, both by him and the Old Testament. Evidence for this is found in Leviticus 20:6 6 “I will set my face against anyone who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute themselves by following them, and I will cut them off from their people.”, Leviticus 20:27 “‘A man or woman who is a medium or spiritist among you must be put to death. You are to stone them; their blood will be on their own heads.’”, and Deuteronomy 18:10-12 “10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, *or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead.* 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you.” In consulting with a medium/spiritist God turned his face away from Saul and so he was subject to demonic trickery, know that demons are capable of taking the appearance of angels and Saints. This is not the Saint Samuel, this a demon.
@@maryleneellis7069praying to Saints or Mary is asking them to pray to Jesus, so it is still Jesus who intercedes at the end of the day. We don’t ask Mary to skip over Jesus and go to GOD herself.
@@ScientificBeatz But, It is not Biblical to pray to saints. Whether they are died or alive, saints are people, like you and me. We are not supposed to pray to people. We are supposed to pray to God. Prayer is communication with God.
God has made even easier for us to to communicate to Him by sending Jesus. Those who accept Jesus, then recieve the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is quite literally the Spirit of God. He is God, and therefore more closer to God than any saint. And guess what? He gave you that Spirit. That Spirit lives in you.
Why can't catholics just pray to that Spirit, to Jesus directly? You have direct contact with him through the Holy Spirit. Why are you so adamant on praying to people? The Spirit of the Lord lives in you. The Holy Spirit is our helper and intercede for us (Romans 8 26:27)
@@maryleneellis7069Catholics do pray to Jesus. Prayers to Mary are done in memory of the great mysteries. Mary’s role as a maternal figure is in celebration of Christ’s mediation. Same pretty much goes for the Saints, intercession is a normal thing people do-and in Catholic tradition, Mary and the Saints are alive in Heaven and can pray for others-people don’t pray to them for mediation. I’m not even Catholic, but I know this is merely the result of a different interpretation lol
The saints are more alive than we are. They are with God.
They're alive in Church as well! Because the Church is the Kingdom of God but on earth!!!!!! So they're still a part of the Church, and they will be forever!
The world- the Roman Church in particular is suffering Amos 8:11.
Scripture says…
Imitate Christ
Walk LIKE him
Put on his armor
Be renewed
Learn from him
Become a new creation
Do what he commands us
Be perfect and complete like his father
No where does he say we become Gods.
Scripturally Mary is a footnote. Historically the fathers spoke against such secondary reverence.
Origin- "If indeed the saints who are outside the body and are with Christ do and work anything in our behalf after the manner of the angels, who perform services for our salvation, let this also be considered among the secret things of God, not to be committed to
paper. We offer humble prayers to God Himself, who is over all, through His only begotten Son, to whom we make supplication inasmuch as He is the Propitiation for our sins, in order that He, as our High Priest, may offer our prayers to God"
Polycarp- "We worship Christ as the Son of God; the martyrs, however, we love as disciples and imitators of the Lord, as is right, on account of their unsurpassable benevolence toward their King and Teacher; and we wish to become their companions and disciples."
Yet here Rome continues in contextual error ignoring the word of God for its 4th party inferred gnostic tradition.
MARY-
"My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my SAVIOR,
Who needs a Savior? The sinless??? Nope. Jesus came for the sinful, not the righteous. If Mary was without sin then she is not in heaven.
Luke 11:27-28 ESV
As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!" [28] But he said, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"
If scripture is deficient from the professed believer then the professed believer is either a false believer or deceived. Susceptible without the armor of God to manipulation by the words of men.

Yes Mary is dead. And Christians don't pray those dead Biblical heroines. Only to living people and the living Christ.
@@jacobtennyson9213 Jacob, how can you read Sacred Scripture and claim Mary (and/or the Saints) is dead?
If Jesus is the "way, the truth, and the LIFE" and she was His Mother, giving Him human life and living "full of grace", how can she now be dead?
Death is the separation of the body and the soul. Spiritual life is in the soul. That NEVER dies!
Having had a few NDEs in my 74 years, I can say that looking back on a body from another dimension is very revealing. I was very much aware and "alive". In fact, everything about me was more real than "real". If you ever experienced this you would not say Mary or the Saints are "dead"!
The only DEAD are lost souls.
The hardest part of death is the dying. Damned souls undergo "eternal death" which means they are forever dying. That is really being "dead". There is no life for the damned, because God is LIFE. Yet the souls of the damned will last forever - dead souls - undergoing torment where the"worm never dies".
Without God these souls are DEAD, but still existing - forever!
Mary and the Saints are NOT AMONG THOSE! If Jesus is life and they died in Christ Jesus, they are alive as He Himself is alive. They have passed "from death to life".
Is there any difficulty in understanding this?
Mary is NOT DEAD!
By saying 'saints' you'll be judging if a person was worthy to be called 'holy'.
The problem of Catholic 'Saints' are: THEY(CATHOLIC HIGHERUPS) ARE THE ONE WHO JUDGES and PRESENTS it to the public.
that's why it CONTRADICTS bible.
"For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is he who will save us."
Popes, priests and archbishops ARE NOT GOD
thats why they have no power,abilty, and authority to claim that someone is 'holy'
That's makes Catholic saints are FAKE!!!

Well, there’s 2 stances to this
1) she was assumed into heaven right before she died
2) she died and her body went into heaven on the third day like how Jesus resurrected.

@@maryleneellis7069 There are a few problems with your argument. FIrst, do we know that Samuel was in Heaven? After all, this was before the sacrifice of Christ for all sins. Catholics only petition prayers of people in heaven, or in perfect communion with God. Second, your summary is a little misleading. It's not just "Why are you bothering ME." Samuel goes on to say "Why do you consult me now that the Lord has departed from you and become your enemy." He goes on to say that God wills him to die the next day. Perhaps this is an indication that any petitions by Samuel will not find favor with God, and the words you cite are only indication that he is wasting Samuel's time as The Lord has decided. Saul is too late. AND FINALLY, Saul used a medium or witch to connect with the other side. Catholics do not this.
Yes, Mary died and she is not in heaven. She is asleep in the grave right now until Jesus picks her up.

@@elizabethburns1449 you're partially right, but you're mistaken in believing that just because something shares the same title as something else they are the same. The queen of heaven you're referring to, was a title of a god worshiped by the caaninites, which has nothing to do with Mary, the Mother of our Lord. It would be like saying because the Babylonians had a trinitarian god the Christian Trinity is the same thing. For one no Christian worships Mary, the Queen of heaven, as God. It is a title given to her because Jesus is the King of heaven from the davidic line, in which the mother, not the wife, is queen, or gebirah. If Jesus is truly a king from the line of David then that leaves only one option of who is queen, that being the holy Theotokos, Mary. The imagery St.John the Theologian uses in the book of Apocalypse further solidifies this, in which he sees the mother of Christ clothed in the sun with the moon at her feet wearing a crown of 12 stars. And just like the gebirah of the past, Mary brings all petitions to her Son, there is no better intercessor.
also, an intercessor is not the same as a mediator. The Blessed Mother and the saints would not accept being worshipped. We believe in the Immaculate Conception. the Lord is pleased when we recite the Rosary and ask His blessed saints to intercede on our behalf. anyone who continues to respond against this, i am not engaging further in any argument. stop comparing this to people who use Ouija boards. You're offending not just Roman Catholics but God in heaven too.

@@maryleneellis7069 Saul is not a good example brother he turned his back on the Lord and the kingdom was taken from him. Go to revelations 12 and read about the woman standing on the moon clothed with the sun and a crown 👑 of twelve stars. Mother Mary is no ordinary Saint she is the queen of Heaven. Her intercession is encouraged in scripture and there are many miracles on earth that speak of her importance. The Virgin de Guadalupe. The Virgin de Las Lajas in Columbia. Supernatural miracles that defy science and the laws of nature. And the people that saw her said she claimed to be the Ever Virgin Mother Mary. Also when Jesus was on the mount of transfiguration he was seen talking to and praying with Moses and Elijah. Jesus showed us that there are Saints in heaven who knows what goes on and if Jesus himself talked and prayed with the Saints what does that tell you about intercession prayer. A prayer is asking only Jesus is worshiped. Catholics worship through the Holy sacrament of the Eucharist in mass. Taking the blood and body of Jesus in Holy Communion. And lastly in the story of the beggar Lazarus Jesus showed us that Father Abraham is alive and well in heaven and he has full knowledge of things and of people that came after him. So if you believe that people who truly love and follow Christ are dead then you do not understand the power of God. He has placed eternity in the hearts of men. And he has shown us many times in the bible that we will live with him Forever. You can definitely only talk to Jesus if you want. But Jesus set up his church to include all his people in worshiping him. Paul himself said to confess your sins to one another and pray and intercede to God with one another. If you ever actually pay attention to the Rosary and all the prayers that are said they are all directed to Jesus Christ. For some reason he loves his mother greatly and has given her honor by allowing the rosary to be a thing of petition and it draws many closer to God. The rosary was revealed to us it is not something men came up with it is from God. Do your research brother.
@maryleneellis7069 Jesus doesn't intercede for us, he is God. Our Brothers and sisters in heaven pray for us and work to obtain for us our Petitions as does Praying to Our Lord. But all things come from Our God, regardless of how they are obtained.
@qualitypaversinc Re. 'Pray the Rosary Brothers and Sisters'. Amen to that. God bless.
Please show respect, you could have stated this literally anywhere else, but you comment it on a video that is against praying to saints.
In the Bible God tells us He's the God of the living not off the dead. They are very much alive with Him.
Asking the dead to pray for you is asking a protestant to pray for you
The Virgin Mary is alive in Glory.
God is the God of the living, not the dead. So, although people have died, the people of God are alive, and praying and asking them to join you in prayer, as the Holy Spirit fills us all, doesn’t violate Scripture, but echoes the early church and writings. See P470 and early church fathers.

I was a Protestant for 30 years. I prayed the Rosary one single time.

You need to understand the intercession of saints is VERY VERY real. I’ve become a drastically stronger Christian ever since.
If the role of a Priest cannot continue after physical death it is impossible. Plus the only one who inherited the role of intercessor/mediator is Jesus and he sent the Holy Spirit as to not leave us orphans. We cannot make ourselves to be god and give out roles God did not give.
All who are saved only inherit rest after death.
Verse to back up what I say:
Hebrews 7:23-25 NLT
[23] There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office. [24] But because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever. [25] Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.
Hebrews 4:10-11 NLT
[10] For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world. [11] So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall.
To add. Jesus gave us the correct way to Pray in unity. And notice who specific he is:
Matthew 18:18-20 NLT
[18] “I tell you the truth, whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven. 👉[19] “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on EARTH 🌎 concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.

There are over 300,000+ protestant churches all claiming they are the true religion and they will go to heaven. I was a protestant, it was so confusing, I went to the Methodist church as a child, I went to the Presbyterian church when I was older, and a few others here and there but I never felt complete until I joined the Catholic Church through RCIA. Unlike many protestants bashing the Catholics, they haven't a clue what the first Christian Religion is all about. There is a reason there are so many ceremonies and religious holidays in the Catholic Religion. I suggest you listen to a Catholic Apologist, they have years of study and theology, they are constantly researching to find any claims that are reliable information as to whether or not these accusations from protestants are true concocted by those who are. hostile to the church. As a Catholic for 8 years now, I have never heard a preist, bishop or archbishop insult the protestants and that alone makes us true Christians. Rumors and lies to suit their own agenda is not Christian, it is of the devil! Look, we are all trying to get to the same place, to call the "Church built on the Rock of Peter, commanded by Jesus and Jesus is the founder of the church, Matthew 16 13-19. Whether you're a Calvinist, a Fundamentalist, Mormon, Mainline Protestant, they are all different. The Catholic Church celebrates each mass the same, and there is not a time when Catholics hold mass that the Holy Eucharist is celebrated.Matthew 26 26-29 Jesus broke off a piece of bread from a loaf and said "take this and eat this is my body "Then he took a cup gave thanks and gave it to them saying drink from it, all of you for this is my blood of the covenant which will for this is my blood of the covenant which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins." The problem with people like this man who apparently is a Catholic basher is, they have no idea what they are talking about. Before you believe this nonsense he is spewing, google Catholic Apologist, most of them are highly educated men who, at one time, were Protestants.
Amen and Thank you! I'm a cradle Catholic but for a while I was genuinely decided by the protestant faith. Those were the worst 3 years of my life so far. I was always so confused on where i thought God was leading me, and I felt so scared and guilty all the time, it felt like God was trying to play a game of Gotcha with me, i spent pretty much every day begging God do spare my life and not to leave me behind, everything I did was wrong in at least one 'prophet's eyes. It was such a viscious cycle of false urgency and relentless guilt tripping, i'm still recovering from some things. I'm so glad that I've decided to hang on to the truth. I hope I'll be able to educate myself even further as the time goes on.
Mother Mary is very very much alive, in Heaven. After my wife and I got married last summer, I prayed to Christ for us to conceive a child. I asked the blessed mother for her intercession and prayers. I lit candles, including in St. Peter’s Basilica while on our honeymoon, pray the rosary every day, and wear the brown scapular. We conceived a month or two later with a due date of June 9, 2024. Over the course of 24 hours, we received two signs that Mary interceded on our behalf. First, we are now scheduled for an induction or C-section on May 31, 2024, which was the only available date for a week on either side. That date just so happens to be the Feast Day of the Visitation, when Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth and where we get the Hail Mary prayer. Our daughter’s middle name, by coincidence, is going to be Elizabeth. Second, my sister was trying to purchase a medal pin with charms on it to put on the baby’s car seat. The site wouldn’t allow her to purchase it. She tried the following day and a new charm was available, a blessed mother medallion. The site then allowed her to purchase it. It might not seem like much to skeptics or non-believers, but I truly feel like these are signs that the Blessed Mother prayed for us and interceded for us.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Incorrect statement. Read the book of Hebrews. It explains how Jesus experienced death then defeated it by his resurrection to obtain his role to mediate and intercede. It is rights he gained by his sacrifice. The only promise we hold is to inheret peace and rest after death. Mary and the Apostles are all resting from their labors and at peace as God promised.

@@Blablablue "Let my servant Job pray for you because I will accept his [prayer], Let's I make a terror on you." (Job 42:8)
There are also other passages as well. However, to understand the Bible, you must be a good student of history, too.
Christmas have been doing this for about 2000 years. Also, you are NOT bypassing God/Jesus Christ you are simply asking others to pray for you IE saints in this case.
@@GRACE4LYFE You can and should, but it is also good to give reverence to your spiritual ancestors. There is a Catholic and Orthodox present that both talk about that in CZcams shorts they show the passages in the. Bible that says it is good to do that.
Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is the key to God’s heart. You must speak to Jesus not only with your lips but with your heart. In fact on certain occasions you should speak to Him only with your heart.” St. Pio of Pietrelcina.
@Greg sereda please don't tell anything wrong because Jesus Himself said that until you pray through Mary, your prayers will not be answered. For e.g.: in our First prayer "Our Father, Who Art in Heaven......
on Earth as it is in heaven. Therefore on earth the child is born through the womb of a woman, so as Jesus born through the womb of our Mother Mary and on earth almost every child, girl, boy, man and woman always seek a mother in their needs, problems, sufferings, pains and joy to speak their feelings. Jesus has given Mother Mary as our Mother. You please understand brother what is proper and correct. Thank you. God bless.
2 Macc 12:46
“Therefore it is a good and holy thing to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from their sins.”
No thanks, I'll stick with my amazing Mother Mary who can bring me closer to Jesus than any other human can do.
What a good point ❤
False Gospel as Scripture says the Holy Spirit brings us closer to Jesus and God. The Holy Spirt is the only person Jesus sent to earth as to guide us to all Truth and Jesus is the Truth. And since the Holy Spirit helps us pray and leads us towards Jesus and God, we cannot make ourselves to be god and hand out roles God did not give. Jesus is our Last High Preist who mediates between Heaven and Earth and the Holy Spirit guides us as he is the Help Jesus sent us. Anything added to this is False Gospel.
📖Hebrews 7:23-25 NLT
[23] There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office. [24] But because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever. [25] Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.
💬And if a priest cannot remain in his earthly role as death prevents them, neither can any other person.
@@ic1493 You missed the OP saying “human”, she didn’t exclude God the Holy Spirit. Btw thanks for that doctrinal lesson which you Protestants took from the Catholic Church.
@@ic1493 “Hebrews 12:1 We are surrounded by a cloud of WITNESSES.” The dead in Christ are alive, not dead.
Blessed Virgin Mary, please pray for us and all of our Protestant brothers to become Christians like us. They have been protesting Christ’s teachings for so long and believe that Jesus got it all wrong and it took Martin Luther to correct it all 1,500 years later.
That’s not what Protestants believe
You mean Blessed Jesus please help us and all Protestant brothers become Christians like us.
What makes me not a Christian as a non catholic
@@colepriceguitar1153He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me." Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.
@@thomasvincent9220 Therefore Jesus said again “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.”
I'll keep praying to my Mother the Virgin Mary, Mother of Our Saviour and Our God. Just as the protoChristians did. The Catacombs of Pricilla in Rome had paintings of the Virgin Mary, they respected her and prayed to her. Protestants and their ideas all they do is go against what true Christianity is and has always been.
Thank God I left Protestant. And found the true Church
