Came here to learn as a Protestant, and came away even more Protestant. So many things wrong with this that I don’t even know where to begin.

Wow are all your videos this educational and fun? I may have to subscribe.
Nice chap.
I really enjoyed this. I'm not a priest,but i am very religious. I purchased a Catholic incense burner and I want to use it to bless my families grave sites. Would i be wrong doing it myself? I always pray for ALL SOULS and WORLD PEACE.
No, not at all. Many Catholics burn incense in the home.
Maxwell Garrison your comments are everywhere lol
Daraga church
Hey, I did the same thing like you. from my childhood times I had interest in church articles and it's rituals. Now I'm 19 years old and I still have the interests like my past days, few days ago I brought a catholic incense burner. Which led me all the way out here into this video
Ebay has all kinds of incense! So does Amazon! I have 2 censers and I love burning incense!
Les Subrick Same
@UST Campus Ministry can you please discuss the type of incense burned by Catholic Priests in Church ceremonies and the reasons behind those choices.
Could I have permission to show this video in our service? We are studying Psalm 141:2
I have that same censer where do you get your insence
What incense do catholics use for exorcism?
Is it Frankencense & Myrrh, Sage, Rosemerry (?) & Thyme (??)?
+Cecil Harvey Any is fine I frankincense or myrrh you can even mix them, but try to get it bless. God bless
Hello Fr, can I burn it at home without charcoal? Just inside an aluminum bowl or ceramic bowl.
Can I just pour a little in the bowl then light it up, without charcoal. Thank you.
No but you can use an electric incense heater.
Is it normal for a catholic family ro burn incense sticks next to candles while praying?
babyansel it's a very traditional method, and is not seen quite as often anymore. But yes, it is a normal practice
babyansel Hello! It certainly is a tradition, a rather aesthetic thing that we do in the Catholic Church , as Catholics, to burn incense, right along and beside candles. I find that they actually complement each other very, very well. All my best. - cheers !
I have a question can catholic use incense sticks as alternative way?
it is ok I will have a incense in my Catholic home altar?
Messiah Aeron Zausa I know this is 3 years late, but just in case you still don’t know the answer: Yes it’s fine, just get the incense blessed by the priest before burning. A bit late, but I felt the need to answer.
HAHAHAHA Great ending.
NoMoreMissNiceGirl . Shite doesn't burn..ie..You!! 😂🤣😂🤣
What does the Bible say?
Jeremiah 44:20-23
That last part was disrespectful
May I ask a question so you can make another video to answer it... How do you justify the Inquisition and the witch trials?
You would have to be open to the truth or else you'd be thinking I was spreading lies.
There is no justification for such things.
belmorra24 The Inquisition was formed to make sure the converts (Moor and Jewish) in the Spanish government were genuine.
““ ‘Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal and follow other gods you have not known, and then come and stand before me in this house, which bears my Name, and say, “We are safe”-safe to do all these detestable things?”
Jeremiah 7:9-10
Protestants don't burn incense much. Just clap hands and strum electric guitar strings.
Protestants also use incense - intfacct Anglo-catholics use incense more than Roman Catholics
And not all protestants are of the "happy clappy" persuasion!
Incense in the philippines is so cheap come and buy cheap incese here in my country they are gatherd in a very old way so thats why its cheap
The reason I buy incense is because incense at mass always smells nice... yet the ones I buy from the health food store dont smell nice which is weird because priests probably use the same scents.
NoMoreMissNiceGirl . I too felt the same. I don't know why it smells pleasant more in church than in home
NoMoreMissNiceGirl yeah, it's till a mystery
I think church uses frankencense and myrrh during service. Have u tried frankencense and myrrh i notice the ones i buy from Wal-Mart has a nice sweet lovely smell to it which is why i use it dueing my moring prayers.
Why do we need another sacrifice when Jesus has paid it all and he said it is finish
Because there is still work on our part that has to be done.
James 2:24
“Faith without works is dead.”
And I am not referring to useless Jewish works of the law but of growing in virtue, being humble, kind, forgiving, chaste, etc.
Jeremiah 11:13
Wake up! In Love, wake up!
Thank you.
Amen! The catholic church is so full of idolatry it isn't even funny.
Gross display of ignorance. Because the Lord was unhappy with the people at the time for their transgressions he didn't value the burning of incence by those people at the time and warned them. How does that mean nobody should burn incence ever as sacrifice?
Protestant, stop revolting! In love, stop protesting against the Church that Christ himself established.
we orthodox christians burn incense too and its neither expensive neither hard to get
its cheap and you can find it in every super market lol
I burn incense on our house so my grandma get mad at me because its not worth
i have 3 kings incense.
Smudge was supposed to be evil according to the Bible and then yall burn incense. So confusing
God says our prayers are like incense, and this Fella says incense, is expensive and hard to find ..
Like our prayer life?
The after video
Makes me think of Catholic wars, .. that caused so many More prayers ...
It masks the stench of the rotting corpses buried under the floor.
the corpses are always under the Alter...tradition has value.
Pagan practice ...made it sound so smooth. No thank you .Only Jesus can sanctify etc the blood of Jesus not incense. He wants us to present our own bodies while we alive as a living sacrifice Holy and acceptable unto Him
it be funny if this was all wrong and people simply burned it back then because deodorant and lotion and perfume wasnt a thing back then and people simply stank lol
There are religious historians and priests who believe incense burning, within a church environment, originated from the consequences of animal sacrifices inside the churches. A natural air freshener, only later gaining ceremonial, spiritual and symbolic properties.
I just burned my steak! Well... I do like my meat well done!
Isaiah 66:3
He that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. yea, they have chosen their own ways. and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
So tell why they burn incense in churches?
T S Taken out of context. Stop using one verse if you don't even use it in its proper historical and cultural context. It's bad reading of Scripture and it makes you look bad.
Their are many reason why people burn incense in church or at home christian altars. Here are some reasons why people still do this to this day.
Exodus 40:27
And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
1 Chronicles 6:49
But Aaron and his sons offered upon the altar of the burnt offering, and on the altar of incense, and were appointed for all the work of the place most holy, and to make an atonement for Israel, according to all that Moses the servant of God had commanded.
Malachi 1:11
For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.
Revelation 8:3
altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
@@SouthernRebels94 Satan works in mysterious ways
@@TS-ge8ip yes satan does works in mysterious ways. But at the same same time we cant dismiss many verses on a subject that God has told just to accept only one verse. I may not agree with everything the catholic does but at the same time the catholic is the mother of all Christian churches and has many things right that all other church refuses to do.
@@SouthernRebels94 begone with your devil speak
Ancient tradition and against the true and living Yahweh! Repent Jesus kingdom is coming
I'm not even Christian anymore but the Bible doesn't prohibit the burning if incense anywhere and when incense is mentioned it is usually in positive tone.
I'm not catholic but I'm a methodist Christian and i burn incense dueing my morning prayers to God. The bibke even says that all nation and gentiles would and was to burn incense unto him from generations to come. So God never told us to stop. Remember God sent his son to become the last blood sacrifice to save humanity but he never changed any of the old laws he only can to fulfill the law.
You guys burn incense to “make someone holy”??? What a lie from the pit of Hell! Only faith in the finished work of the cross is what makes someone holy. The Bible says “It is by grace that we have been saved through FAITH and not of works lest any man should boast.” Its faith in the name of Jesus and His blood that was poured out on the cross that saves and sanctifies an individual, Not incense 🙄. Catholics never give you scripture to back up their religious acts and rituals and the traditions of man that make the word of God of no effect.
With the power of God God puts the holy spirit upon the smoke it has no power in its own
And yes we do give biblical backing
