Mike, My question has to do with the Catholic version of Mary. They say Jesus has Mary’s DNA. How is that possible? He would have a partial sin nature. My understanding is that a body was prepared for Jesus at the time of conception by the Holy Spirit. Please help.
Hi Shirley, You are so right! But this is why the Catholic Church declares Mary to be sinless. When Mary is exalted to a state of sinlessness, it shifts the focus from Christ’s unique nature to a false declaration of Mary's holiness. It implies that Christ’s sinlessness is made possible by Mary’s supposed purity rather than His divine nature. This is a grave theological error. Christ’s sinlessness is not contingent upon a sinless lineage but is an intrinsic attribute of His divine personhood.
Mike, I heard that victory was achieved when Jesus died on the cross. However, I did not understand that until I heard your viral message and I am starting to believe that there is now hope for eternal life. As you say, Jesus declared on the cross ‘It is finished’ and the path to Heaven is through God’s Grace. I have heard many readings from Priests, and I felt that I would never be worthy enough to be present with the Lord for eternity. I have thanked Jesus for introducing your message to me and for the light that you shared from the Scriptures. I praise Jesus for your knowledge and proclamation. I have never understood His Word like I do when you speak. I am fully engaged when you deliver your messages. Thank you for cutting through many years of my own confusion, inner conflict, hopelessness and despair through a guilt-ridden Catholic upbringing. S.W., Western Australia
Mike, I read your article on Anyone Who Distorts The Gospel is Accursed. As a Catholic priest, I must be direct and let you know that your “Six requirements added for salvation” is patently false and bears no likeness to what the Catholic Church teaches about salvation. Here’s my honest thought, however on the work you do: if any Catholic leaves the Catholic Church due to your ministry, then he surely could not have understood his faith to begin with and maybe he needs to be re-introduced to Christ through your efforts. God works that way sometimes. So I say “good luck to you.” As for Pope Francis, he is certainly a confusing man, irritating in what he tolerates, perhaps a bad pope indeed as he does not seem to guide us clearly in morals and doctrines. He has many personal flaws. But Popes come and go. The Catholic faith carries on with or without them. And always will because Christ promised it be so. Fr. W.B., Buckeye, AZ
Sir, After just a couple minutes of your presentation I am shocked that you are so blinded by your own egotistic conclusions. Your premise is so messed up! Ego and sinfulness will always attack the church that Peter and the Apostles founded as appointed by Jesus. J.S., Internet
Hello Mr. Gendron, After many years doing everything possible to stay close to Jesus Christ through the Eucharist, the Bible and your many messages (especially on the Eucharist), I am forever grateful to be born again in the Spirit, a believer of Jesus Christ. The majority of my Catholic family members have either ostracized me or considered me a fool. None of that can dampen the joy God has given me as I continue my faith-filled journey and "proclaiming the Good News to others" through your resources and other Biblical-based information. Thank you very much for sharing the faith. May God bless you and your work of striving to save more than one billion Catholics in the world. T.H., Fairfax, VA
Mike, I became familiar with your work by watching several videos on YouTube to help in my discussions with my parents who are still devout Catholics. Your book, Preparing for Eternity, is filled with a wealth of knowledge and is a great resource for leading me to exact Bible verses to reference when having talks with my family. My goal is not to give them what I believe, but to rely on God’s word to expose the false teachings of the Catholic Church and pray the Holy Spirit convicts them and opens their eyes. M.H., Dallas, GA
Mike, Your videos compelled me to never give up. My 80 year old father, who was a devout Catholic, left the church and trusted Christ and the Bible. He passed five weeks later. My mom, age 76, trusted Christ too!! Your ministry is vital and I am so grateful. R.F., Dallas, TX
