<<@CrossExamined says : Download FREE Cheat Sheet “The 4-Point Case For Christianity” 👉📱https://cutt.ly/ZYMC4nl>> <<@Hospitaller1099 says : No, grace is not enough. Jesus died on the cross as a sacrifice to atone for original sin. Jesus said to walk the narrow path, which means to try to live as perfect as Jesus. In the meantime, we can and will continue to sin, which is why we must confess our sins to one another. Baptism is also important, as we must have the Holy Spirit within us to guide us. And we must follow God's commandments, just as Jesus taught. We must do these things if we are capable.>> <<@carlosc1512 says : i watched many videos of Frank responding to catholic questions and he always seems uncomfortable giving an answer. he is very confident with any other types of questions but when it comes to are catholics saved types of question, he never gives a biblical, confident answer. what a shame. the most loving thing to answer anyone, including catholics, is to tell them the truth with love and more importantly call them to true repentance. No, the catholic religion does not preach the true biblical Gospel and Frank knows that as an apologist.>> <<@paulsphantom says : It's like Noah in a way. Noah was saved by the grace of God, he did not save himself. However, it was by grace that God told Noah about the flood, by grace that he gave him the instructions of the ark, by grace that he brought him through the flood. And Noah, by faith, did all that God commanded. No doubt Noah was saved by grace, but if he had never put his faith into action, by building the ark, he would have drown with the rest of the world.>> <<@Randy-po8bk says : Is the blood of Jesus enough?>> <<@johnyang1420 says : Jesus started Catholic church.>> <<@johnyang1420 says : RCIA>> <<@Cledson_Luiz says : That is a lot of non sense. A catholic really believe in salvation by faith without (baptism of wish) or with the ordinary way of salvation, the baptism (the sacrament of faith). The problem about the argument is: 1 - Confusion about justification and salvation. If we can read Romans 13:11, it says: "for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." Well if we believed it is because we had faith, so we are justified according the same letter in Romans 5:1, but as it says "our salvation is nearer" and it complements in Rm 13:13-14 " Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put you on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof." What a catholic believe is really a truly initial justification by faith alone through the grace of God and this is enough to salvation. But also we see the second justification or the increase of justification as it says in Apocalypse: " and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still (ετι και δικαιος δικαιωθητω) and he that is holy, let him be holy still." Ap 22:11 it means that a christian needs to purify his way through santification to stay pure as in the beginning of the justification until the end to enters in the Heaven, as it says Scripture: "Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, And said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest." Psalm 95:10-11 (and Hebrews 3:10-19) and "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord" Hb 12:14 But no even a single catholic believes that this santification is about himself because he knows what Christ said: "for without me ye can do nothing" 2 - Confusion about the thief on the cross and regular christian: The thief was besides the font of our salvation, Jesus Christ, the Holy Word of God. We still believe as it says St. Augustine about a salvation by desire, but in a regular way if a christian doesn't live a good life in charity He can't be with the Lord as it says Galatians: "For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love." and so: "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." and: "but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." We all need a santification of our ways to not die coming back to our old sins just like it says Peter: "And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." It's not about achieving salvation about the works with grace, but it's about being vigilant as it says 1 Corinthians: "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Let all your things be done with charity." and to stay without any kind of err: "And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; that ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God." Philippians 1:9-11 "Do all things without murmurings and disputings: that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain." Philippians 2:14-16 "Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. " 1 Thessalonians 5:22-23 "Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless." II Peter 3:14 What I see is only a lot of non sense words of protestants. When I read the ancient fathers (First to Sixth century) I could understand for sure the catholic doctrine and not this catholic scarecrow. in the end all christians need to do good works, because: "we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.">> <<@slownews_GetTheBigPicture says : People who think we need to perform our way into Heaven ultimately trust in their own, imperfect attempts, rather than in what Jesus did. And they fail to see that Abraham was counted as righteous because he believed God (that his old wife would become pregnant). In other words Abraham believed God's promise more than what the World told him was possible. Likewise, believing that Jesus did it all and we are righteous upon believing in him, is what the world can't accept. It is the world that constantly tries to convince us: There must be something, that YOU MUST DO. Because nothing is given freely on earth. God's love however, is free. If it was up to us, then why would it be called "Good News" to begin with? What is good or new about: You must achieve it based on merit? And no, Grace and merit cannot be it. They exclude each other, since they qre opposites.>> <<@benedictjajo says : Catholics= Pharisees.>> <<@Randy-po8bk says : Catholics add all kinds of requirements to be saved.>> <<@louisvega-oe2sc says : His grace is more than sufficient: our faith is from him, and he can read the tea leaves and see beyond our existence if we're worthy to be called, the children of God..>> <<@jimmy5634 says : Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5 17 When a person hears the Good News of Jesus and accepts His finished work on the cross, that person is made spiritually new. That's what it's means to be “born again”. Through Christ's power, He transforms our minds, bodies and spirits to look more like Him with every passing day. We submit to HIS will and that is why the phrase “ not of our own doing” is so significant. That’s the process of sanctification whereby our deeds and actions become “Christlike.” The works are evidence of being saved. Without the being saved part, the works themselves are meaningless because they are not of God.>> <<@Sumtingwongbruh123 says : what am i even being punished for. Sin wise>> <<@ByTheGraceofGOD777-u7o says : “Thou Believest that there is one God, thou doest well; The devils ‘also’ Believe, and tremble.” (James 2:19) ~~~ :o ~~~ WHEN is a Catholic 'Born Again' ??? ~~~ :o ~~~ ('Baby' Baptism ???) ~~~ The Land of "Mariology",,, replete with 3,247+ Child Molester Priests (Just LATELY),,, ~~~ And MORE Utterly Fictional/False/Outlandish Doctrines than one can 'possibly' accept,,, Such AS: ~~~ 'Perpetual' Virginity (Of Mary) ??? ~~~ Having been raised a Catholic, I'd given them 'some' credit for 'at least' getting the "Immaculate Conception" Correct,,, ~~~ "WRONG" !!! ~~~ :o ~~~ The ENTIRE THING is About 'MARY' !!! ~~~ MARY was Born a Virgin !?! ~~~ MARY was a 'Perpetual' Virgin !?!

The Bible, especially Paul’s epistles place so much emphasis on the fact that works of any kind are not a part salvation at all. Salvation is either by grace through faith or it is by works. It can’t be both. Remember the reason Jesus will say “depart from me” to some who thought they were going to heaven is because they trusted in their works… “Did we not do many might my works in your name?”>> <<@Delphi-Q says : this guy is talking about catholicism but you can tell he’s never cracked open the catechism, he’s shadowboxing- and mirror-boxing>> <<@beadoll8025 says : As I understand it regarding Salvation, if you are adding to what Jesus did on the cross, you are saying that what he did on the cross was insufficient therefore you're not saved because you're prideful and you're trying to work your way to heaven and you're Not trusting in the Savior, which is a slap in the face to Christ.>> <<@KononR-gz4vo says : 🤔 As for me, have faith in the Triune God's mercy and grace - and what He has done for you at the cross. And leave it to the Holy Spirit to direct your mind and conscience as to how to live. Don't worry about what churches say. And if you sin, you know within yourself are not walking with the Spirit, so pray and repent. But to follow others will only confuse you. Just trust in God to guide you to be righteous unto your salvation. If God's Spirit lead you to following the Bible or a Church so be it. But it must start with your trust in God and mistrust in everybody else - including your self.>> <<@rena6895 says : The problem is too many people believe you say a few words, can live like the devil & still say you are saved… I believe the Catholic Church teaches exactly what Jesus told His disciple’s. 1. Die to self (sin) 2. Pick up your cross 3. Follow Him Matthew 16:24-26 24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?” SACRAMENTS According to the Catholic Church, these sacraments are signs of grace that connect individuals with God. The purpose of the sacraments is to make people holy, to build up the body of Christ, and finally, to give worship to God; but being signs, they also have a teaching function.>> <<@s8r5dad says : I grew up Protestant my whole life. I was told horror stories about the Catholic faith. People like Frank in this video get it wrong. Such as the church and Mary. Frank I’m sure has told thousands of people he’d be praying for them. Thats the same as asking Mary to pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. And you don’t have to have all the sacraments to be saved. A Catholic can marry an atheist and God will bless that marriage. And there are other tiny disagreements that the two have but I’ve never heard a Catholic that isn’t a nut job say Protestants are headed to hell or not saved.>> <<@kennethalmond8922 says : Thief on the cross was not saved by Age-Of-Grace Gospel that was given thru Paul to Gentiles - Jesus hadn't died yet. Sad to see Frank imply the Thief was saved under the same Gospel we are today as this as it's not Biblical.>> <<@davidvanwyk2250 says : We have to find the balance by taking Gods word and common sense into account.. Catholics are always allergic to Carwash Christianity.. thats in quick in quick out.. I engage am saved and Im good to go and Charismatics view the Traditions / Mantras of the Catholic Church as prison... yet when you required to gain knowledge in any other institution you have no problem with comnitting to 5 , 8 or 12 years of your Life to aquire it.. Yet in eternal Life it must be instant. This is where logic fails me. We must be willing to commit like a Charismatic with all your heart and mind but you need stay the course like a Catholic to supercede the human nature or flavoursim trends of Christian Social Euphoria..... hence a Life time of growing in Spirit and Mind.>> <<@Jin-dc7gl says : Faith must lead to good works. I think it was Kahlil Gibran who said all love is empty save where there is action>> <<@Goinghome1111 says : Grace through faith for salvation and not of your works is BAD BUSINESS for the Roman Catholic system>> <<@justicereborn8296 says : No amount of work would ever be enough to save us from God. For it is through grace and grace alone which is from the fullness of God we are saved.>> <<@ajgibson1307 says : Amen and God bless>> <<@gi169 says : Thank you CE.>> <<@bengoolie5197 says : For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God; not of works, that no man may glory. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10. The prots like to leave out verse 10, which shows that we are created for good works. Fact check everything that a protestant presents to you from scripture. Don't just lock in on the verse a protestant lays on you. Be sure to read a few verses before and after the verse they are trying to beat you over the head with.>> <<@gainsofglory6414 says : I'm new to this stuff but I have never seen any Catholics describe sanctification as a requirement for salvation. It preserves salvation by having you not run off and change your mind and stop caring about any of this stuff. It has practical and theological purposes, and its just a different way of what protestants would mean by saying "well you weren't truly saved". When someone continues to sin without any form of struggle or regret after accepting the gift, you would say that person probably was not actually saved. You say they probably did not truly have faith. Catholics just say they were saved, but they risk losing salvation by their continued behavior. Neither wording indicates any more or less of a trust in jesus or his sacrifice. The wording only reflects a trust in yourself. Was your faith when you accepted the gift genuine or not? If you don't think twice about any sins and don't change at all, you have reason to doubt. You cant be sure you were actually saved unless....you behave somehwat like you actually believe it.... Aka.....works....the exact same thing..... How is that any different?>> <<@Darth_Vader258 says : Catholics believe in Grace Alone through Faith, but NOT by Faith Alone.>> <<@gamefan8552 says : Example of thief on the cross, should not be abused as a way to think, "I can do anything I want and God has to give me time to turn things around right before I leave this life". Thinking this way, we are trying to outsmart God while in the meantime continue to live in sin, even mortal sin with no worries. Yes God can save anyone at anytime, however anyone thinking they can outsmart God and do all the sins they want to then earn Heaven, should seriously reconsider. That is why I think God hides when we die, to force us to live per Gospel values , nurturing though the Holy Sacraments and living as if today was our last day on Earth. Remaining always in praying, per Gospel values, with assistance of Holy Sacraments, not just for religious people, as everyone needs grace and God's help to even think right. Otherwise why would Jesus institute the Holy Eucharist and why did the apostles celebrated Mass and "breaking of the bread" ? We cannot look at the exceptions and try to make them the rule or think that just as the thief did on the cross we will too. Catholicism is right remaining holy is a life long process that cannot start and end just by saying "I believe in Jesus" having God's grace and that's it, although that is a good starting point, lets not forget Judas, who ultimately betrays Jesus, he was also one of the apostles as close as you could get to Jesus in his time and ultimately ended betraying Him. Through initial justification, from the Catholic perspective, God obligates us to abide in him (John 14:15) and grow progressively in holiness (see Matt. 5:43-48). This progressive growth after initial justification is known as ongoing justification or sanctification. In ongoing justification or sanctification, we continue to grow in the theological and human virtues, with Jesus as our model. Jesus said be perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect, we know that is a lifelong process and not something we get once and that's it, or something we can never again lose.>> <<@nogrey12 says : The thief on the cross did do something to influence his salvation. He repented of his sins, confessed to Jesus, and asked for forgiveness.>> <<@ronrontall6370 says : The thief on the cross lived in the Old Testament. He died before Jesus resurected and sent the disciples to baptize the nations. And we live in the New Testament.>> <<@PatrickSteil says : Frank. This video is an outright lie about what the Catholic Church teaches. You should remove this video unless you are scared of the truth of what she actually teaches.>> <<@asburyfox says : I disagree. Catholics believe justification is by grace alone. Saved by grace alone through faith & good works. I think both Protestants & Catholics can agree with the statement we are saved by the free gift of God's grace. Catholics differ in the mode of receiving grace. God's saving grace is received in water Baptism, where original sin is wiped away & we are made Christian & are saved.>> <<@AJ_Jingco says : I'm a cradle Catholic and I believe in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ ✝️ and that's THAT.>> <<@lloydfrancis9149 says : Thanks for reminding about the theif on the cross Jesus Christ is Lord>> <<@lloydfrancis9149 says : But your benefiting from the Protestant reformation because you live in America the puretans founding fathers offspring of Great Britain birthed the United States on Sola Scriptura principles from Plymouth rock onwards. Infact the first colonies were Protestant Christian but definitely not perfect. Not Catholicism yet Look at God did.>> <<@jacquelynwhite500 says : John 6:40 KJV states, “For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life: and I will raise him up on the last day”. Not anyone, in 2000+ years has "looked on the Son". Jesus said we must look on him AND believe to have eternal life. NOW, those hearing these words, and seeing Jesus as he spoke them, walked away from Jesus later in John 6. Why would they do that? What would the Son of God have to say to make God's chosen people walk away from salvation? John 6:54, KJV: Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. Mark 14:22-24 KJV And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament (covenant between God & man), which is shed for many. Do Protestants believe what Jesus said to the apostles, or just some of what Jesus said? Is grape kool-aid covenant with God worthy? If the bread IS Jesus' body, as he said, should leftovers be tossed in the trash? If God didn't want 'works' from followers of Jesus, then why would Jesus remind us that "whatsoever we do to the least of our brothers, we've done to Jesus"? Catholics 100% know we are saved by GRACE, the GRACE of God. But we believe Jesus when he said he expects works of CHARITY & MERCY from us.>> <<@thehungarywaffleinc.7775 says : It’s crazy that Catholics and Protestants basically have the same definition with different words for this particular issue>> <<@EatMyKos says : I'm sorry but you can't make the claim that the thief on the cross wasn't baptised, or that he wasn't following Jesus prior to his crucifixion. You just can't know that, it doesn't explicitly say that.>> <<@unitedmemes4505 says : But Jesus said "not everyone who calls me Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. But only those who *does* the will of my Father". It seems to me that in this verse Jesus is clearly stating that doing things that are according to the Father's will is necessary for one to enter Heaven. But according to some other verses from the Bible, the Grace of God is all that saves us, and we don't have to do any good deeds in order to be saved. So it seems to me that the Grace is indeed the only thing that saves us, but to maintain that state of being saved, we need to do the Will of the Father. I am not sure if my conclusion is correct though. If you have another view, please reply to me. I want to be able to understand my scriptures more profoundly. Thank you.>> <<@NonniDC says : Where in the Bible does it say that the thief on the cross wasn’t baptized? (one of the few things listed). It doesn’t, so the statement to say he wasn’t could be inaccurate and should have been presented as an opinion. One starts to chip away at some of the other ‘facts’ spoken, unfortunately fall in line with opinions.>> <<@Thanya569 says : The whole crucifiction plan was one big fail f we are saved throught actions.>> <<@rorywynhoff1549 says : Heb 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. There is no other offering than Christ's one time sacrifice of Himself. To add to it is to reject it.>> <<@professordr4059 says : @CrossExamined Dr. Turek, if either a Catholic or Protestant mistakenly depends upon BOTH the grace of Jesus Christ PLUS their own works for eternal life, Scripture teaches that they are NOT SAVED from eternal separation from God. The only exception according to Scripture would be if they FIRST placed their faith in Jesus Christ ALONE for eternal life (e.g., John 3:16), then they instantly received ETERNAL LIFE that they cannot lose, even if false teaching later confuses them to think they need to combine FAITH with WORKS. Scripture is clear on this. For example, "For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was [a]accounted to him for righteousness.” Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works: “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered; Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.”" (Romans 4:2-8, NKJV) "And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work." (Romans 11:6, NKJV) --Bible Professor Al, Ph.D., Th.D.>> <<@sportspokerguy3506 says : I believe Jesus died for our sins, I also believe that Hitler and people like him cannot simply repent on their death bed and still make it to heaven. The Vatican is evil, but I understand the catholic view - it makes the most sense to me.>> <<@regstoy says : Nothing funnier, than god botherers, arguing among themselves about their interpretations of their holy book, the literal word of their god. You would imagine, that an all powerful, all knowing deity, could have made its holy book, the supposed guide to our redemption, as easy as an Ikea manual for a three legged stool.>> <<@thomasmartinscott says : HE does the Works THROUGH us, lest any man should boast. Eph 2:8,9>>
