NeedGod.net pretends to be Catholic Priest youtu.be/Cf431IOGnaU?si…

@Trazey16 It is me yo😐

@PopeDefendersX ... (Idk if this is his actual account just search PopeDefenders on YouTube)

@AL_J82 Alton, there ain't no way you shared this post debate cope

@PopeDefendersX Oops.....youtube.com/live/ucwZh3Eu1…

Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholics: "to read church history is to cease to be protestant." (Protestant read church history) Also Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholics: "You're QUOTE MINING!" You're CHERRY PICKING!" "All the fathers didn't agree!" "You gotta read the original Latin!" "We don't have to follow everything they say!!"

@BishopJaxi Ephesians received God's grace through faith at baptism

Protestant apologetics is so often just Protestants pretending to be Catholics and arguing with themselves. That should already tell you something. They invent a fake Catholic priest, make him say absurd things no informed Catholic would say, and then act like they have refuted the Church. Why? Because when they debate themselves, their dishonesty goes unchecked. That is exactly what is happening here. The whole skit is built on the lie that the Catholic Church teaches that salvation begins by grace but is ultimately maintained by man earning heaven through his own works. That is false. The Church teaches that salvation is by grace, that man cannot merit initial justification, and that even our cooperation with grace is itself enabled by grace. Catholics do not believe we place God in our debt. What Protestants do is hear that obedience, perseverance, worship, and holiness matter, and then immediately scream "works righteousness!" But that proves too much. If obedience having any role means "works salvation," then repentance is works salvation. Perseverance is works salvation. Holiness is works salvation. Yet the Bible explicitly commands all of these. So, what they really reject and hate is the biblical truth that grace calls man to obedience, perseverance, and holiness, not a consequence-free profession of faith and easy believism. Ephesians 2:8-9 does not refute Catholicism. Catholics fully affirm that salvation is the gift of God and not something we can boast in as though we saved ourselves. What these men always ignore is verse 10: we are created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. So yes, we are not saved by works as though grace were unnecessary. But neither are we saved into a dead, fruitless, consequence-free Christianity. And the Sunday Mass point is dishonest, too. The Church does not teach that attending Mass is some human achievement competing with Christ’s finished work. The Eucharist is Christ’s gift, not man’s replacement for grace. So once again, Ryan did not refute Catholicism honestly. He invented a cartoon Catholic, lied about what the Church teaches, and then declared victory over his own caricature. He is a textbook bad-faith actor.

I was wrong. Protestants do have processions.

Ryan Hemelaar of @needGod_net posted a video of himself making YET ANOTHER incredibly stupid argument. On one hand, Ryan is no stranger to posting videos of himself lacking the common sense and basic reading comprehension skills necessary to understand a simple concept. On the other hand, today is April Fool’s Day, and it is possible that this particular romp into stupidity is just being done as a joke by Ryan. So, Ryan, can you let us know whether (a) you are seriously making this dumb of an argument, or (b) you are making this mind-numbingly stupid argument as a joke? Thank you!

@How2BeChristian @needGod_net Funny enough he can understand this with a wheelbarrow analogy youtube.com/shorts/4CUS2uE…

@needGod_net A question for Ryan:

@yesiwetmyplants This is why you should seek unity with the Christian Church, and not separate continually dividing bodies founded by pastor so and so thinking they can do a better job than God.

Don’t ever be surprised when people rage against the gospel of Jesus Christ. Human pride resists it. These people feel the need to insert themselves into what Christ alone has done. But the gospel stands apart as salvation is His work from beginning to end, not something we help complete or improve

Without lies Radical Protestantism can't survive

@BibleInContext1 Fake news Patrick, stop lying

So Catholics are just going to ignore the tens of millions of Christians Catholics murdered in the inquisitions?

There are at least 10 anti-Catholic lies in @needGod_net’s video, but Trent Horn covers why these lies aren’t even original in his video on Eph 2:8-9 here: “Protestantism's Most Misused Bible Verse”: youtu.be/iMWbvTy-43k?si…

@pzj1801 @yesiwetmyplants @HoaryHead1611 The divine nature has one mind/intellect, one pure spirit, one will but is relationally 3 persons

@PopeDefendersX @yesiwetmyplants @HoaryHead1611 Then the Divine Spirit Is One. There isn't ''not the same Person'' ie Father Son & Holy Spirit So you agree with Issiah? Paul? And most importantly Christ?

I used the wrong word a few days ago to describe the Trinity. I said God is one being with “three natures” when I should have said three persons. I wasn’t denying the Trinity, I was trying to affirm it, just with the wrong term. To be clear: God is one in essence and three in person. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I fully affirm the Trinity. But let’s be honest here… mixing up a term isn’t the same as denying the truth. There’s a difference between heresy and misspeaking. I misspoke. The Christian faith isn’t measured by perfect wording but by trusting in Christ. Correcting someone is helpful, but mocking them or questioning their salvation over wording isn’t. We should absolutely care about truth, but we should also reflect Christ in how we handle people.

@pzj1801 @yesiwetmyplants @HoaryHead1611 If you actually paid attention, you wouldn't need spam posts here.

@PopeDefendersX @yesiwetmyplants @HoaryHead1611 Now if you had said Great is the mystery of Godliness God was manifest in the flesh then the one Divine Spirit took on flesh or Incarnated which is exactly what was prophesied. Instead you just waffle x.com/pzj1801/status…

@pzj1801 @yesiwetmyplants @HoaryHead1611 Nope, there are three persons by eternal relations. The uncreated divine essence or nature is being itself, and that being is eternally loving, being loving is part of God's eternal identity. God is not dependent on a creature to be loving; all creation is dependent on God.

@PopeDefendersX @yesiwetmyplants @HoaryHead1611 So, Father, Son and Holy Spirit are therefore pure spirit in regard to the divine essence which doesn't have a material body, but they aren't the same person'' But they aren't the same Person. So if they aren't the same Person they must be three Spirits.

@pzj1801 @yesiwetmyplants @HoaryHead1611 What did I say at the end here? and stop spamming replies

@PopeDefendersX @yesiwetmyplants @HoaryHead1611 ''He divine essence is pure spirit, completely immaterial, without a body. So, Father, Son and Holy Spirit are therefore pure spirit in regard to the divine essence which doesn't have a material body, but they aren't the same person'' Just to recap

@pzj1801 @yesiwetmyplants @HoaryHead1611 Really doesn't seem like it

@PopeDefendersX @yesiwetmyplants @HoaryHead1611 I did

@pzj1801 @yesiwetmyplants @HoaryHead1611 Should read why I type before responding

@PopeDefendersX @yesiwetmyplants @HoaryHead1611 ''So, Father, Son and Holy Spirit are therefore pure spirit in regard to the divine essence which doesn't have a material body'' So you have 3 Spirits & One material manifestation? This is incredible
