I get asked the question "what is the difference between Catholics and Christians all the time. Here is my answer.
So first, an apology. It would seem most people who came to this video were looking for differences between Catholics and Protestant Christians. I've now made a video addressing that very question. It's a bit longer, and goes through history, earthly organisation, and beliefs. Check it out on my channel, or click the links I've embedded in this video.
I thought Catholics were related to Holy roman empire who killed Jesus and as christianity was spreading widely converted to christianity on their own terms to rule the new religon.
Not all "christians" are protestants.
@@shivbhonsle2536 Nah, It's the first group of people who believed Jesus 2000 BCE ago
shiv bhonsle The Holy Roman Empire was founded in 800 AD. The “Catholic” or “universal” church was founded by Jesus upon St. Peter. Jesus was killed by the pagan Roman Empire and Peter was killed in Rome on Vatican hill in the 60s AD. His successors reign till the present day from that spot.

The holistic cat worship or as it is called the catholic...we are from cats...
Lol I was thinking something similar
Good point there mate!

toads are also frogs fun fact
This vid title should be "The Population of Christians in The world" U didnt answer my question :3
what was ur question
@@cl1qr567 I think the question we all have is : What's the DIFFERENCE between a Christian-Catholic and a Christian, what they do that make them different. I wasn't looking for statistics. Let's begin saying that Christians are not part of the Roman Catholic Church , let's begin saying that they don't attend any Catholic church at all. Christian don't have priests but pastors... I think that was OUR question! Have a nice day, thanks!
ellestronger Catholics ARE Christians whether it suits your tribal sentiments or not. In fact you are trying to steal the Christian identity of original Christianity. That's identity theft.
@@ellestronger I agree with mate it didn't answer my question either
@@josephessien-obot9853 and yeah I Catholics aren't all Christians first 1.Christians believe the only way into heaven is through accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and saviour. Catholics on the other hand believe that you go to heaven through your works on earth. 2.Christians pray directly to God Catholics pray through saints to deliver their message to God 3.Catholics have the pope Christians do not have someone like that. 4.Christians go to church on Sunday Catholics attend church several times a week 5.Catholics also believe in mary as the Queen of saints Christians believe she was full of sin just like the rest of us This is just scratching the surface yeah Catholics believe in Jesus and God but there is so many differences between the two of us its like islam , muslim people believe in God as well so are they suddenly Christian , no they are not just like Catholics aren't Christian they are Catholic
“I will go peaceably and firmly to the Catholic Church: for if Faith is so important to our salvation, I will seek it where true Faith first began, seek it among those who received it from God Himself.” (St Elizabeth Anne Seton)
Eh, I can't get over all the idolatry.
@@dallashill5771 lol your church is a man made😂😂🤣🤣🤣
@Saneliso Masinga lel any proof? Idiot
@Saneliso Masinga says the ignorant and the closest to paganism, first go learn a few things all the bibles you protestants have is because the Catholic Church made it in the year 382... So you are using and know God because of a pagan book. Use your brains.
@@dallashill5771 the idolatry is in the mind of people who are gods everywhere. If you understand what I mean, repent from your idolatry and look for truth and God.
Woooo, Ukrainian rite Catholic here :) Basically it means that some Ukrainians who were Orthodox came BACK to the Catholic faith, but kept their Eastern Traditions. :)
Hello fellow Catholic Christian.
My girl Ukrainian nd I can confirm lol
You mean they apostasised from Orthodox Christianity and became papist?
This video begins with an incorrect definition of what or who is a Christian. To be a genuine Christian you must also believe: 1. Jesus is God 2. Jesus died on the cross for their sins. 3. Jesus Rose from the dead and is still alive today.
pastorart1974 jws say he's a spirit creature.
PATRICK McShane JWs also believe that Jesus is Michael the Archangel, a created being. Whereas the Bible teaches that Jesus always existed, He was never created, and in fact, Jesus is the Creator. Which is why JWs are not considered to be Christians. Like all false cults, JWs teach that they are the only Christians on the planet.
pastorart1974 what are jw's
@@codysteeves830 Jehovah's Witnesses.
@@pastorart1974 well to be fair the English translation of the Bible is a bit nuance since Michael means "looks like God/Jesus). again nuanced and its the only time arch angle is used in the Bible so it could make sense that conflation could be made Jesus was referring to himself by a different name I'm not sure need to read up on the translations and context just adding a bit of info to this discussion to help understand the other side Ps. Not a JW I'm Catholic
thank you, after looking several videos that started to went deep into details of their own religions finally I found this video which answers exactly the question
This video answers everything I was looking for, in a short amount of time, and as simply as possible... Thank you for this video!
.but you didn't tell us what are the differences between all of them
You are right. I could create videos describing the differences between Christian denominations, but they are all still Christian. That wasn't the point of this video. The point was to determine what makes a person Christian, and that by that definition all Catholics are Christian.
but you titled the video "The difference between Catholics and Christians". If this was your mission, you should have titled the video "All Catholics are Christians".
@@iamdevman exactly....
I'm Catholic 33yrs old now and can answer this question mainly that from what i am aware of and looked into is that Chrisitans dont believe that Mary was the mother of God and a Virgin blessed by God to give birth to Jesus Christ, they also dont pray the hail mary pray and maybe more, its actually sad that we are seperated by our churches also..
@@jaysheeze So that brings up an interesting question: Do you think that Christians are going to hell for not believing those doctrines?
That was an awful explanation and didn’t actually explain anything.
Appreciate his effort and his time taken to make this video.
@@flyingfoxes4630 we need more people like you
You just didn't get the point of What he was explaining.
I agree with you. What don't the Christians do that Catholics do?? This didn't explain anything.
This is very informative! I knew that there were Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox Christians but I didn't know there was "other". Very cool.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CATHOLIC AND CHRISTIAN - ---a Christian is one who adheres to Christ as Lord and Saviour and believes in the Bible the Word of God sola scriptura that he is saved by grace through faith in Christ's blood atonement for the forgiveness of his sins as doctrine of salvation, while a Catholic is one who adheres to the Roman Catholic church and the Pope for his doctrine of salvation,and not on the Bible. not by faith alone but by faith and works , and there is no assurance of salvation, he has to wait until judgment day or go to purgatory after death to know his fate or destiny. in other words, for a Catholic, salvation is an ambiguous term, there is no clearcut definition, because it depends on what the Pope says. not on the Bible the Word of God, as faith cometh by hearing the word ofGod. Romans 10:17 kzhead.info/sun/htqNfJFtfqOFfIk/bejne.html
Those are the mega churches and evangelicals.
And others like Assyrian Church of the East.
Great stuff. Explained it beautifully. Now I understand what a person said to me the other day in relation to being a Christian protestant. We still share the same faith.
Good break down of the world's Christian population. Can you do an overview of "Orthodox" Christians? Would love to know more about their roots.
Great video, i think its funny that most people that disagreed just said 'wrong' and didnt elaborate or give any critisism
That's my prob with athiest too. Whenever I ask. "OK but why doesn't God exist?" They just say. Idk I just dont belive. Altho they are some good arguments its still not enough for me to have enoguht faith to be a athiest

Great video! Short and simple and ACCURATE! So many other videos on this topic tend to treat it as if Catholics and "Christians" are two different religions. And, unfortunately, even many Christians (including Catholics) seem to misunderstand the relationship between Catholics and OTHER kinds of Christians (when they say "Christian" they really mean Protestants). As you point out, the question is a "funny" one, as it is a misleading question (as I feared your video would be, based just on the title alone). I am going to share this one with my students (college level world religions class). thank you for this (and I will watch your other related videos as well to see if I can use them)
Thank you so much for this simple explanation of differences that have been the basis of hundreds of years of European politcal, religious wars & power. I completely agree with your last statement of us simply worshiping God together ❤
I was looking for differences between their cultures and beliefs
Exactly, and the differences are huge!!!

Yay hi army
Compare Christianity with a cake. Most important part is the cake, not the icing. To me it's much tastier with the icing but for some maybe not. Catholic church promotes the cake with icing and others promote it without. The choice is yours. In the final analysis it's between you and God and not between you and the church
But Catholics aren't Christians.
“Difference between Catholics and Christians” Catholic is a branch of Christianity, Protestantism and orthodoxy are also branches of Christianity. Christianity as a whole is all of them
Glad someone understood.
Why is it so hard for some people to understand this 😂😂
@@LoL-dc1ol kzhead.info/sun/mticoNtronWYeok/bejne.html
Well certainly not Catholic at any rate which of course is the one true, original and authentic church. But Protestants can be Christians of the are baptized in the Trinity with water and believe that Jesus is their savior. Some Protestants are not baptized correctly ..eg asked to believe that Jesus is their savior only.... This is not a correct form of baptism and therefore in this example, they are not Christians. Being a Christian is somewhat of an objective standard.
But virgin mary is huge part of Catholicism.
The difference as I understand it is that catholics believe in faith and works for their salvation and other Christian’s believe salvation is by faith and the works follow naturally out of the desire god puts in them to be sanctified. Ephesians 2: 8-9
Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
There is no difference both Catholics and Protestants both need Jesus perfect Sacrifice for salvation. What I think is the Catholics put emphasis upon the role of Pope, Priests, Nuns, but especially the Church’s role in Salvation. The Church is there for worship and teaching but only God can forgive sin so the Priest is another word for pastor but he can’t forgive any Sins.
True Christians continue stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine as did the early(pre institutionalized) church. The true church was born on the day of Pentecost/Shavuot and was fiercely persecuted but kept preaching JESUS as KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS.
Steadfastly only on The apostles doctrine? You just ignore the old and first testaments? How can you be Christian if you do not read and learn from both??
All scripture is given by inspiration of GOD and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction for instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. II Timothy 3:16-17
This didnt answer my question at all wth
Ikr
I come from a Spanish catholic family and even though I’m agnostic, my grandma died recently and she died as a Christian, hope God has her with him.
But the sad thing is, people who say they are Christians are actually not doing what a Christian would do in their heart or is not saved..
Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
Nice illustration of the different groups in terms of number of members, but the video does not answer the question. What is the difference between Christians and Catholics.
None because there both crap?
I get asked the question "what is the difference between Catholics and Christians all the time. Here is my answer.
Non Catholics are not Christians
@@wolfthequarrelsome504 You mispelled protestants
Roman catholics are not Christian when it joined the state it joined the pagans and changed the Gospel .
@@wendymitchell8245 catholicism is waaaaaaayyyyy older than protestantism. wheter you like it or not, catholics are christian.
Seriously 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where did u get the data ?????
Catholics have a copy of the COMPLETE bible and the others do NOT!!!!! Having said that all Christians and all religions are worthy in my book And realistically the differences between the catholic and non catholic Christian bibles is very slight
That's not what a christian is. A christian is one who is truly born again of water and the holy spirit through the gospel.
dav 324 In summary, Jesus was baptized, transformed the “baptismal” waters, and then gave his famous “born again” discourse. He then baptized before commissioning the apostles to go out and baptize. To deny Jesus was teaching us about baptism in John 3:3-5 is to ignore the clear biblical context.
Yea but that's the religious approach, not the actuadefinition, you won't find that in an actual dictionary or something, and scientifically speaking, so one van be born again. That is only spiritual
It's water and the Trinity for baptism.
Exactly
David Lee That’s not how atheists look at it like me. That would make atheists who come to heaven Christians if I read this twisted way of speaking right.
but catholics dont believe in the bible, because they believe that they can pray to Mary to effectuate prayer, they believe they can pray for those who are dead and have an effect on the destiny or outcome of what happens to them. They call their Pastors "Father" when Jesus specifically say not to. They believe that the wine of communion is literally Jesus's blood and not as a symbol, there is so much more
I am friend to all who fear and love God, to all who follow his precepts, the label doesn't matter, the attitude of the heart and the course of life, that's what's important
I think the issue among some evangelical Christians is the belief of being born again is necessary to be saved and enter into heaven. The issue of being born again is from Jesus conversation with a Jewish elder, Nicodemus, Who questioned Jesus How must he be saved ? Jesus replied you must be born again, but here is where it has become complicated as some denominations have added to what Jesus replied to Nicodemus that you must accept God gift of salvations in order to be saved, or you must recite "The sinners prayer" and other man-made conditions in order to be saved. But Jesus said you must be born again, a changed person who is remorse for his or her past sinful life and the desire to live in the will of God, Thats all it takes to be saved !
oh wow he finally explained Orthodox lol
And just like religion, this video promises "to answer the questions and explain everything" but doesn't really do anything. What a waste of time!~
Since Catholicism is a conglomerate of ancient pagan religions disguised in the robes of Christianity, I'm going to disagree with your assertion Catholics are Christians. A person simply confessing Jesus asthe Christ, the Son of God, is not enough when said person follows his own path outside Lord Jesus and his apostles' teachings in the biblical text. Remember, Jesus said many in that day will say, "Lord, Lord, didn't I prophecy in your name and cast out demons." (Matt 7:22) Claiming Christ and following one's own path is not the same as claiming Christ and following his path.
Thank you. So Christian is the umbrella term? :)
I'm Catholic and I'm proud I'm Catholic and I'm proud!!!! 2x IM CATHOLIC AND IM PROUD!!!!!!!!!!
inceptormince I pray you’re a follower of Jesus Christ.
I'm Catholic and can mainly answer this question that from what i am aware of and have looked into is that Chrisitans dont believe that Mary was the mother of God and a Virgin that was blessed by God to give birth to Jesus Christ, Christians also dont believe in saints as we do, and also dont pray the hail mary and maybe more?.. its actually sad that we are seperated by our churches also..
Its actually sad that we are all seperated and never mentioned to anglican and other main chrisitanity, we all believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God..
I'm confused 🤷
Catholics are Christians. Christianity is the religion. Catholic, Protestants, and Orthodox are all branches of Christianity
Catholics were the first Christians along with the Orthodox. They remain Christian to this day.
@@GeminiMoon1994 yep.
excellent explanation... thanks.
Nice vid, thanks!
Wow you are a great teacher!!! I really appreciate! Keep going!
Not really. A christian is anyone who is baptized In The Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and believes in Jesus. A catholic is a christian. Truly.
@@squirrels24seven ohhh i understand... Thanks for clearing!
you hear what you want to hear. If you want to know the truth, read your bible, repent, and follow Jesus in spirit and in truth
Ha!!!
Don’t people just love to focus on “what’s different” instead of loving the similarities. WWJD
Yeah
He would tell us to read his word, and not to follow cults and religions. This is taught in the New Testament and can be found in the old testament. Jesus says not to follow traditions of men, that they are of demons.
@@vickyesperanza8267 They aren't traditions of men. they are the traditions founded and taught by Jesus Christ which he spread to his disciples and followers. The Protestant churches have decided that they don't like Christ's traditions so have decided to start their own and ignore the original church founded by Jesus Christ. the same church that wrote and compiled the Bible in the first place.

That is a slightly different question you see. Many people think Catholics and Christians are different, when in fact Catholics are Christians. To answer your question, you would have to define what type of other Christians. Orthodox, Pentecostal, Baptist?

Cade they changed the gospel when the joined the Roman state under Theodosius.Then continued to change the teaching.It is ABOUT HOW YOU BECOME a Christian?
I trusted in the Lord of Jesus Christ as my personal savior into my heart through faith alone, and not of works, by accepting his free gift of salvation, by his grace on February 16, 1996, each day, I confess sins for process of sanctification, to receive Jesus Christ as your personal savior, please refer to Matthew 10:28, John 3:16-18:36, 5:24, 6:37:47, 10:27-29, 14:6, Acts 2:38, 16:30-31, Luke 15:10, Roman's 1:16, 3:23, 4:5, 6:23, 10:9-10:13, Ephesians 2:8-10, and Titus 3:5. God bless the world, and thank you for sharing.
No need to apologise Matt, some here have said that these are basically different labels,which is a great point. The bible itself says that the word Christian was first used in Antioch (acts 11:26). Antioch was an ancient city of the Roman Empire which is a good 300 miles or so north of the Holy Land,in what is now Turkey. It actually never occurred to me until the other day that the word Christian is not found anywhere else in the Bible apart from twice in Acts and 1 Peter 4:16 Even Paul never went around saying "I'm a Christian! Are you??". He called himself a Follower of the Way according to Acts 24:14. In Paul's letters he will address the people as Believers or Brothers or as simply the Church of God,but he doesn't use the word Christian anywhere! Interesting stuff
No, highly innacurate and misleading.
There's no good reason for this video to have this many dislikes
Jack Bouchard thanks bud. It’s part and parcel of talking about religion unfortunately. Folks struggle to be gracious. Ironic really.
There are 920 Mil protestants. You only got 17 of them to respond so far.
I am disliking it, let me tell you why.. he never told the difference between christians and catholics, which is the title of the video
I'm disliking because he never answered the question. All Catholics are Christian but what makes them Catholic? What makes them different from non Catholic Christians that they have to be called by a different name? He even explained orthodox Christians, they're from other regions.
I am Catholic but I believe that Jesus (Rom.8:34) and the HS (Rom. 8:26-27) intercedes for us. Mama Mary IS NOT our intercessor. The Pope is wrong. If only we Catholics delve into the 66, not 73 books of the Bible. We will see that most of the teachings of the leaders of our Catholic faith are unbiblical. Let's read the Bible & start questioning the Vatican. Catholics are the first Christians. The first Christians know the Old Testament by heart.
Wow! I love your response. Praise Jesus! God is coming back for his true church! Jesus is our ONLY way . 🙏🏽❤️
Can somebody, please, tell me why it is expected of me and other Christians to choose a side between the different churches?? Why can't I just be Christian and choose a form of Christian worship/church which appeals most to me without being criticised about my worship/church of choice. Why is one explanation of the Bible considered right and the other considered wrong? (There are even differences between several translations!!) Why create all this division??
The gospel and it's meaning is only hidden to those who are lost. It is divided so badly because of people trying to twist it's teachings to suit themselves. The bible clearly states this and that it don't allow for anyone's private interpretation. Meaning it means what it says and says what it means.
Our human tastes don't really matter - there is only one God, one truth, one church. For Christianity to be real, we have to believe that God preserved the faith for two thousands of years since He defeated sin on the Cross. I really recommend looking at the history of Christianity and the early Church Fathers to see where all this division came from and which are true doctrines. God bless!

Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

@@EiderDuckson GREETINGS. WHAT ABOUT WHAT LOL? GOD BLESS YOU.
Make a video on how Christianity expanded🤔🤔
Thanks brother the real difference is between Unitarian vs Trinitarian. Before council of nicea, the vast majority of Christians were Unitarian believers. That God is one and Jesus his messanger. Arians delivered the difference. Constantin forced God son relationship concept and later councils added holy spirit, further to trinity. God bless you
Aaron When Jesus said "before Abraham was I AM", he established the Trinitarian concept that there is more than one person in god.
Constantine didn't force anything at the Council of Naesea (sp?). 320 Bishops attended from all over the Christian World and without any coercion, 318 voted to say that Jesus is and was God. It is not true to make the claim that prior to 325 AD, most Christians were Unitarian.
“Teacher of religion”. Yep, he’s right about that much. Sadly, the typically low view of Scripture held by many Catholics is reflected in his cavalier, “ ..reckon the Bible is ok.” Very telling..
being in germany, being catholic or lutheran can be more concrete in the fact of church taxes and of course, registration. To be a member of these two organizations, there is taxes to be paid and formal registration. The truth of the matter when we point out the problems with catholicism or even with protestantism, we really do not find differences. We find maybe reasons we are not one or the other. For someone who does not want to part of either, can use these points. The burden of being catholic should rest on the catholic and not on the christian. christ did not call us to follow the catholic or the protestants. He called us to follow him. In these various organizations, there are distinctions that may work to help follow him. In certain countries as a missionary, it helps to be under one of these organizations to avoid being point out as being a sect. I think the ball is in the catholics side of the court and it should be there. simple, not all christians are catholic. All catholics "should be" christians. Try talking to some catholics about jesus and see if you get a rise of hatred.
Do you still believe in Jesus Christ?
@@yakovmatityahu are you the gate keeper? if so, you should know. do you know me in another time, when I believed or do not believe. I would not want to be persecuted for being a christian or for not being a christian. It is a loaded question to ask if someone at all is a christian because I am not sure if I can answer calvin's five points or stand in luthers understanding of faith or arminian's assumption of freewill or wesley's life of holiness. I am just the sacristan in the wrong place. I am trying to best answer a question within a specific country where taxes and church membership excludes or includes a certain people within an church organization or diocese. The numbers do matter.
Which group of Christians believe that Jesus is the only priest? i'm guessing maybe if they're protestant? Because if they don't agree with having a priest and a pope, they must be protesting the Catholic church is my guess. Please let me know if that is correct.
So, what’s the difference again?
Christ started the Catholic Church through the Apostles, at Pentecost. All other groups were started by men.
The important difference is that Catholics look up to Mary as their lord and savior and they believe that Christ was never crucified Christians believe in Jesus as our savior and believe that Christ did get crucified
you are wrong are you ignorant or do you just wish to tell lies

I had a question about that because my grandma tells me that we are Roman Catholics.
This is confusing belonging to a Religion with being a Christian, it is possible to be a Christian and not belong to any organised religion and belonging to any Christian religion does not automatically make you a Christian. One has to acknowledge that Jesus is the Son of God, he died to atone for our sins and rose from the dead in order to do this and thereby fulfilling the prophecies in the Old Testament. and thus save mankind from the sin of Adam and Eve. This is what he meant when he cried 'It is finished' as he died on the cross. Jesus had done the work God had sent him to do. God and man were able to be truly reconciled if man accepted Jesus and his teaching and lived by this. It is by the Grace of God that we are saved from eternal damnation and that salvation will only be achieved by accepting Jesus into our lives and living accordingly. Keeping rules, either those laid down in the Bible or decreed by Church hierarchy will not make a whit of difference to salvation if you do not accept Jesus into your heart, look at the parable of the rich young man.
Hi! I would like to discuss about the ‘validity’ of Catholicism. I believe that we simply must serve God alone, and only pray to Him through Christ Jesus’ I’m not saying anyone has to join a religion, but to simply follow Jesus and Obey God. Sometimes I wonder if Catholicism isn’t the best religion to follow, for someone who wants to serve God and enter the kingdom of heaven. What are your thoughts everyone, and please give proof with scripture
u can communicate to God directly as a Christian but you must go through a priest to communicate to God in Catholicism
Geroge Jackson ah okay God bless you love! YHWH God bless you Read scripture aloud too, please Psalm 139 Psalm 91 Numbers 6:23-24 God bless you love
Geroge Jackson You probably aren’t Catholic because that’s false. Catholics are Christians. We believe in the Holy Trinity, and all our prayers have God as their final end. We go to priests to confess our sins because Jesus gave his disciples, the Apostles, the ability to do that. John 20:19-23 Jesus breathes on the disciples and they receive the Holy Spirit (The are being God-breathed), and they are given the ability to forgive sins or to retain sins. Matthew 16:17-19 Peter (the first pope) was given the keys to the kingdom of heaven and authority to bind and loose things, and the church that Jesus built was on him.
@@Bingbongaroo100 percent. Well said
Just a genuine question, hope you ppl won't be offended cs I want myself to be acquainted regarding this So the question is that Christians believe that Jesus AS is the son of god but they don't believe the other messengers to be god's children cs in the bible, they are also referred as sons Edit: Pls answer me in case you have memorized the whole Bible, thank you :-)
Cathilics are not christian... christians belive the only way to eternal life is through jesus christ alone, catholics belive in works and also pray to mary
It is my understanding that Catholics put more faith in Marry and Saints, and they believe "you" work your way into heaven. Christians put all their faith into Jesus. Not all Catholics are Christian.
And by “work” you mean donate money, right?
Oh boy 🤦♂️ sorry that you misunderstand us
I have a question. Why do some people refer to Jesus as God. This is in accurate. Catholics and Christians both believe Jesus is the son of God. Jesus never referred to himself as God, nor did his deciples believe he was god. Can anyone enlighten me?
I'm catholic and it feels like there are more Christians than Catholics
Catholics ARE Christians.
@@splashenful Not all Christians are Catholics
@@corruptx501 I know. The 3 main divisions within Christianity are Catholic, Protestant, & Orthodox.
I am not catholic but I don't hate anyone I pray for all Christian 🙏
1.2 billion catholics in the world. the number might be a couple thousand off, but there are probably more who no longer practice the faith. Lots of catholics in the world. There are definitely by the numbers more than protestants. you have to take in account; many catholics still recognize the orthodox church too.
Christians of the Catholic tradition acknowledge seven (7) Sacraments as actual encounters with Jesus (the Divine one). All other denominations (with the exception of Baptism) reject the Sacraments.
STOP SAYING AROUNDABOUT, I DONT LIKE IT
Where on earth are the Non-denominational Christians? Catholicism actually branched off of that. Being a Christian does not mean having another name in the title. A Christian is a Christian. Not a Catholic Christian, or an Orthodox, or a Protestant. I mean to say that you can be a Christian without being a denomination. (I don't mean to be rude to any of the other religions I mentioned. I'm not trying to offend anybody, I just wanted to point out that there is another form of Christianity that was not mentioned, that is big enough not to fit into the "Other" category :) If you are offended I can delete this comment, sorry)
Spread the word of God
This video is what I'm looking for. The explanation of Christian denominations were simplified.
These are a few differences that comes to mind as a former catholic.
I'm shocked at this. Even demons believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that the bible is the word of God. Catholic church teaches you can pray to Mary,mother of God. She is even referred to as the queen of heaven in some hymns. They do not baptise by immersion as Jesus did and Christians do.
@@barbarabridgetbensah9601Anglicans, Methodists, Presbyterians, and more often use sprinkling or pouring instead of immersion.
Whereas the “Synoptic Gospels” (Mt, Mk & Lk) summarise the Last Supper, each with barely 10 verses, and all focusing on those vital Dominical Words; “Do this in remembrance of me”, in St John, Five Whole Chapters are given over to events in that upper room! Chapters 13-14-15-16-17 are all set at the “Last Supper”. That is ¼ of the whole Gospel. John is deliberately giving us a disproportionate account of the events of that night. He wants us to understand something. He is telling us that the whole message comes together “On the night that he was betrayed”. According to John, it is here that Christ gives some of his most definitive teaching: “Remain in my love”. “I am The True Vine”! “A new commandment I give unto you”. Fashioned in a style that would have been familiar to them as the sacrificial language of the old Temple, it all culminates in the “High priestly prayer” ch17. Strangely however, John makes no mention of the bread & wine or those essential "Dominical Words". How can this be? Some non-Catholic Christians would suggest that this is because for St John, the memory of the sequence with bread & wine (known as the “anaphora”) are not significant, but they would be sadly mistaken! Let us digress for a moment. Look at what John does with the Resurrection… Writing at a later date he is well aware of the accounts told in the synoptics. Matthew, Mark & Luke all write in similar styles narrating the events in chronological order. Resurrection scenes inevitably come at the end. How else can it be? Now look at St John: Slap bang in the middle of the Gospel: “I am the resurrection and I am the life, he who believes in me though he die, yet shall he live and whoever believes in me shall never die! John puts the Proclamation of the Resurrection at the heart of the gospel Ch11. Now consider what he does with the eucharist... He takes it out of that momentary last night and puts it into the substance of who Christ actually is: “I am the bread of life, unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood you shall not have life within you!” Bishop Baron is well known for emphasising the graphic nature of this text. The actual word here (φάγητε) translated simply as “eat”, means to chew or gnaw like a dog with a bone. It is a glaringly carnal image, referring to his flesh (σάρκα). It was as offensive then as it is to some people today. Hearing these words, “They walked with him no longer” 6v66! John is doing the same with the Eucharist as he has done with the Resurrection? He has taken the significant part out of the upper room and written it into the substance of Christ’s life. All the gospels are written retrospectively, but John, at a later stage is reflecting on the experience of the early Church. In a real way, they met the Risen Christ in the Eucharist. He nourished them there with the substance of his divine life. Herein is the ancient faith. As Christians approaching the Altar today, we must reflect no less on what it is that we receive in the palm of our hands?! In just the same way that his mother reflected on who it was that she held in her arms, at her breast, in her womb, on the cross and in the resurrection! Of course, it is all spiritual, but it is more than just spiritual, it is Incarnational! For this reason, St Paul warns us: “anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself.” So, let us examine ourselves more carefully as we draw near on this Feast of Corpus Christi! God Bless Fr Kevin
Lol. I'm lost after 10 seconds just with the definition 🤦🤦🏃♀️
Respectfully I beg to differ from your definition of being a Christian. To be considered a Christian it is not enough to only belief that Jesus Christ is the son of GOD and that the Holy Bible is the word of GOD as per your definition. In addition to that, one MUST belief that Jesus Christ is GOD, that HE died on the Cross and on the 3rd day, HE resurrected physically. One must belief on all of these with no exception, in order to be considered a Christian. Your explanation of Christianity is good. The one I use to explain to some, is this : Imagine Christianity being a Tree with many branches. Well, Catholicism is one branch, protestant another branch, orthodox another branch, baptist another branch, Anglican another branch and so on. All of them belonging to the same tree of Christianity and all of them believing in all of those tenets described above. The early Church was originally Catholic (meaning universal) only, until the reformation by Martin Luther in early 16th century which split the Christian Church into two branches, the original Catholic and the newly formed Protestant. From then on, the Catholic Church remained mainly unchanged to this day, and the Protestant Church has split further and further and further to around 47.000 denominations and counting, according to the "Center for global Christianity at Gordon - Cornwell Theological Seminary" , which is an evangelical Protestant institution.
And what about those believing that Jesus (AS) is god?
I still didn't understand between catholic n Christian lat but not least I'm Christian but didn't get the answer I was looking for
Who mest up
Thanks. I was raised Catholic by my grandma (my mom was never open about it and my dad is i think hindu) and i was always confused on the difference. She said something about mary but my mom cut her off with a joke. I never understood why they were different because although im an atheist now, one of my best friends told me she was christian when i was a kid (right after i transitioned to atheism) and i was SO confused why she didnt say catholic.
Have you seen Dr. Brant Pitre’s videos?
Better believe in yourself than being an Atheist 😅
Catholic=Christian=Catholic…They mean the same.
its not about quantity bro..bibile says only few will be save
Should christians and catholic be friends ?
Yes catholic orthodox protestant all who believe on Jesus Christ forgiveness of sins and savior are Christian
Similarities? Both are polytheism?
That was good thanks
Can you be a Christian and still pray to the blessing Mary?
@alvaro alas As members of the body of Christ we are mediators within Christ's unique mediation. Read the whole passage in context: 1 Timothy 2:1-5 "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
Not at all Mary dead so why anyone pray to dead women???Jesus alive so we pray to alive saviour and lord🙏
Ask her to pray for us sure .shes in heaven.
