I grew up Presbyterian. I went to a Catholic Mass with a friend and never left. I am so thankful to God for planting a seed in me to desire the Catholic Church. I found home. ❤️
I was raised in a Southern Baptist church and never attended a Catholic Mass until I attended Catholic wedding and funeral Mass. I always felt that the churches I attended growing up were 70% about the sermon and about 30% music. Maybe 60/40, but anyway, I was just a spectator at a show or it felt like a lecture on the Bible with PowerPoint slide shows. Don't get me wrong, it's effective and it's where I was saved when I was 13. But when I attended Mass, I felt like a kid at Thanksgiving that got to sit at the grownups table. It just felt holy, reverent, ancient, and like something straight out of heaven. Protestants always say that Catholics don't have reverence for the Bible. Well, here comes this Deacon during the processional carrying this big, red book over his head with gold embossed lettering. At my Baptist church, you mostly sit. You stand a few times, shake some hands, and there's a lot of talking. Talking, before, during, and after the service. With Catholic Mass you sit, stand, kneel, come forward, go back, kneel, sit, stand some more. You have speaking parts, or responses. There's physical gestures, such as making the sign of the cross, beating your chest, making the sign of the cross over your forehead, lips, and chest before reading the gospel, there's bowing, and all the while there is silence. Before, during and after. Well, in between babies crying, because we don't have a "kid's church". Everyone from newborn to 105 is in the same Mass, because there's not a contemporary and traditional Mass. Just as I'm becoming a Catholic, I have in-laws wanting to leave the Church because they "aren't being fed spiritually". I told them I've been there, done that. You get comfy seats, friendly folks, and a good sermon. But you will be missing the physical body and blood of Christ. Enjoy the show! Good Protestants make Strong Catholics, Weak Catholics make Good Protestants.
Those Catholics who leave the Church are those who participate the least. That either do not attend Mass, or stand silent during the prayers and responses. The more you participate and go above and beyond the minimum the more the Church matters to you.
@@DavcramerI know Catholics who have left because of the sex scandals. Because so many bishops moved priests who were pedophiles from parish to parish, rather than report the offenders to law enforcement, they have lost their willingness to be part of the Church, and in some cases, their faith in God.
I have been to Catholic weddings and funerals. I get admonished, as a Protestant, to not take communion. For a church that claims to be universal, it seems to be like a country club that doesn't like guests. On the other hand, my denomination, the United Methodist Church, has the open table, which I believe is far more welcoming. It's like a public golf course.
As an episcopalian convert would be more amazing to you and your husband seriously becoming catholic as one catholic prelate said delayed obedience is a disobedience,therefore beginning becoming catholic is the now or never by Grace.
Almost 30 yrs ago, I entered a Catholic Church with my fiancé and fell in love with it immediately. Several years later after finishing RCIA I decided to leave Islam & follow my Lord Jesus Christ. Ever since we have been involved in pretty much every aspect of the church life and I totally agree with the brother in this video & can not imagine attending a church where Eucharist is not available.
Wow! Praise be to the living God! Thank you so much for sharing your testimony. So glad to hear it. May God continue to guide you and inspire you and bless you.
I was raised an atheist, and converted to Christianity at age 32, when I discovered it is impossible for the ten commandments to be the law of Moses, thus protestant and catholic be bogus from the start. How the catholics don't know this, or do? After all, it's undeniable by the scripture they canonized.
@johnsteila6049 When you read Mathew 4:4, at the beginning of the new testament, you either read it and just go on, or discern what it means. It means humanity will live by the ten commandments. If you think it means something else, please explain. All laws given to Moses, were in private, ie. no one else heard. So how does humanity live by every word, if only Moses heard them? Moses wrote it all down, however, by the rest of the new testament, the law of Moses, is done away. So, if humanity is to live by every word done away, how is humanity supposed to live? By the only words heard by anyone other than Moses, the ten commandments. God didn't give Moses the commandments. Moses only documented God speaking, and being heard by the entire 12 tribes, declaring the ten commandments, thus, not through Moses but by the voice of God, to many, thus, Mt. 4:4. In Mt. 22:36-40, you read loving God, and neighbor, is all the law, the only law, according to Christ. Show us your specific list of how to love God please. I will show mine after I see it.
@@eltonron1558 I don’t have a list of how to love God, I never made any such claim. If your point is that The Bible contains contradictions or impossible mandates, then I agree..
@johnsteila6049 My point, is Mathew 22:36-40, is the ten commandments voiced as two by Christ. A specific list of how to love God with all heart, mind, soul, and strength, is easy for the truly converted. 1. I will have no other God's before me. 2. I will not use, or revere graven imagery. 3. I will not use his name in vain. 4. I will observe his sanctified holy Sabbath in gratitude and love. My point ,is the vast majority of professing Christianity will have nothing to do with at least two of the commandments, because they think it's the law of Moses, done away, yet by Christ NOT. So, catholic or protestant, lives in a contradiction to their own scripture. You too? Why?
The protestant professes faith, & may get baptized, but does not receive the body & blood per the early church fathers. 3 conditions of our faith to salvation.
The catholic faith actually does that too because Mary is not in heaven. Mary is in hell and you need to stop praying to her. Mary tried to abort Jesus and failed.
Great. Wonderful, Brian. I appreciate your zeal and enthusiasm in presenting the Catholic truth as forcefully as possible. We need more people like you to defend and propagate the Catholic faith. God bless you and your listeners.
Amen I always watched the UA-cam channels of our Catholic Faith Defenders here in Philippines Your explanation and their explanation was desame but Filipino language.
I’ve been to hundreds of Protestant services where there were no Bible verses used as the basis for the sermon. It was pastors opinions, and now it’s all politics and American nationalism.
2020 pandemic restrictions made it so difficult to be present on Sunday mass.😢 Personally, I found a HUGE difference between watching mass online and being able to participate in the Eucharist. I always felt that it's not the same without taking the Body of Christ. The spiritual hunger is real for me. But now that they're easing restrictions, I'm now able to take the Eucharist and I feel whole again. 🙏❤
Many people found it difficult. While different, my wife and I trued to put the same reverence and fervent prayer at home as at church. We hope you can go back soon. May God be with you and bless you.
I feed my spiritual hunger by being in the word and praying and worshiping Jesus. Also by being around other believers. That is my favorite thing. I'm not catholic either.
During Covid seasons, i never stopped going to mass , i thought to myself the sick, the lame, deaf or blind go to Jesus while he was on earth and He bless them and healed them, can He not do the same at the holy mass? I understand there’s precautions that we must do for the sake of others. But how much Faith and trust we have in Jesus?
So many people that I know that left the Catholic Church say that they get the Bible and Scriptures are not read at the Mass. NOT. NOT. We had a sort of seminar called “ Mass to Mission “. And I went to serve at an Aries weekend. The final Mass the usual Mass ordinarily takes about 35-45 minutes. This priest took the time to explain everything from his preparation for the Mass to every vestment he puts on. Every thing used in the Mass from the light to all the other things related to altar and Chalice was explained and all the blessings. He explained every single prayer and reading from the Bible and every blessing explained. This Mass took almost 2 hours. I am cradle Catholic. I got a wonderful lesson. What a huge blessing. It was another awakening for me. I believe that we brought at least 99% of these fallen away Catholics back to the Catholic Church and possibly the same in conversion to Catholicism. It was awesome. I was in tears of joy. It was most definitely not boring at all. This was the perfect priest to do this. He was so filled with the Holy Spirit. Evangelization to the millionth degree 🙏❤️❤️💕💕❤️❤️😇😇
Reversion to catholic 2 years ago... best decision ever! Wow!! Like sanctification on steriods if one follows the traditional teachings. The bible comes alive!
Catholic revert here. Got lead out of the Church by some well meaning people. Lost the Eucharist for 13 years and church hopped between 6 different churches. Finally got fed up and God led me back to the His church, the Catholic Church. I now treasure the mass and the Eucharist like never before.
Thank you brother Bryan. You are a true gift from God to the Catholic Church. As a matter of fact and based on evidence (per the comments i.e. this video,, it is explicit that many non-Christians and protestants have had converted and returned to the Catholic Church.). The compelling and prevailing evidence to prove that is by making reference to the good contents of your work of evangelization. You are amazing brother in Christ. To God be the Glory. Catholic as always.
***faith is an individual choice, but traditions and different environments removes our capacity for the choice. If we do not have the capacity or the opportunity nor the education we can not choose, after all environment is the greater force on our choice; in my particular case it took me plus or minus 70 years of my life to have my spiritual life clear and understood giving me the happiness and balance that we always seek in life. The truth is, I spent a great deal of time studying my case to reach what I am now .***
Glory to God in the Highest ,Peace to man ?of Goodwill! Grateful thanks and acknowledgement on your amazing m message in relevance to our mdeep spiritual encounter !with Jesus in the Catholic Faith on which we are Fed with His Most precious Body and mBlood in the Holy Eucharist Remembering His Paschal Mystery ! And by this we feel more Spiritually awakened with our Trust and Confidence through His precious body and blood as the Food of our immortal Soul!! To God be the Glory!!!
I was born and raised Catholic. Went to Catholic elementary school and learned the Baltimore Catechism . The church was all rules, rules and more rules. Obey the rules and you will be okay. Nothing about a relationship with Jesus. Jesus was locked away in the tabernacle, sometimes behind a veil as well and then too the communion rail keeping the congregation at a distance. Only the holy priest and others so ordained to enter the holy space could go there. I felt a complete separation from God. It was only after Vactican II that the church became more meaningful to me. As an adult I studied more, learned more, understood more of what the church was all about. And that the Mass is true worship. I've been to non Catholic services, including Mormon. They have their prayers, hymns and scripture readings and a sometimes lengthy sermon. And occasionally communion. And most don't believe in the Real Presence! Mostly a total bore! Today Mass is much more meaningful to me and we Catholics get it all, scripture and Eucharist. And we give true worship to God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. And when you more deeply into the mass you will know that there are unseen things going on during mass but are essential to it. Sorry, this is so long. Hope I've made my point.
We are so glad to hear that you've come back and love your face. We do agree with you though and large part about what you said. Even after Vatican too many people still have the same experience you did. I grew up with the nuns who are mean and angry and did nothing to show Christ or relationship with him. It seems to be all about singing songs and following the rules, which is important. But a relationship with Christ was not stressed enough. Thankfully, that changed in college a complete 180. Where I was shown and top the love of Christ and the full Catholicism. I've also seen that the opposite is true. Protestant say just have faith in your saved. There's not a lot of talk about obedience or personal accountability for sin. What we need is both. A vibrant wonderful relationship with Jesus and obedience to his Commandments while trying to uproot sin from our lives out of love for him. How are thoughts. God bless you. And thanks for your comment.
The issue with this video is precisely the problem with Catholicism. That somehow, the church building and who is at the pulpit is more significant than the Cornerstone and the body of Christ. People aren't leaving the Catholic church with crumbs, they're leaving the catholic church to have living water, to really walk with Christ and get to know him, and read Scripture. The reference to the storm is particularly interesting, "if a storm comes you may not be safe in the tent." The tent will be safer if THAT'S WHERE JESUS IS.
Also, it's very apparent that you're referring to Megachurches particularly which doesn't represent evangelical christianity and all those congregations as a whole, to insinuate that is intelectually misleading and dishonest.
When was the last time you confessed your sins to a priest? If you reject the sacrament of confession that Christ instituted in John 20:20-23, you're not a Christian, period. That's how things were always done until Protestants came along in the 16th century an started introducing false teachings that broke with the sacred tradition that had been handed down from generation to generation for 1500 years. If you die with just one unconfessed mortal sin on your soul (such as watching pornography and masturbation) you won't get to heaven. Something to think about.
The Scripture you cited says that the disciples received the Holy Spirit and therefore had the power to forgive. There isn’t anywhere in Scripture that states that Roman Catholic priests are the only ones endowed with the Holy Spirit. In fact, that’s heresy. The Bible says “confess your sins to one another,” (James 5:16) and also “confess your sins to the Lord...” (1 John 1:9.) If you die, thinking that salvation comes through sacraments and works, and not by grace alone, you won’t get to heaven. “ “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV It is Jesus who sanctifies, nota mere mortal sinner (like you and I) in robes. God bless you, Luke. Thanks for having a concern for my place in eternity, that’s the spirit of a true disciple.
I go to a non denominational church and this video popped up and for some reason I didn’t dislike it. Some things were said that I really do agree with. I’ve been looking in to the Catholic Church for about a year but keep disregarding it because of my struggle with Marian dogma. I can get behind most of the Catholic teachings but I just am at a major road block with what I believe. I’m looking into Anglicanism, Presbyterianism, orthodoxy and Catholicism but don’t feel I’m making any movement towards any of them. Just stuck not knowing what to do going to the same non denominational church because the community is good. I need advice and for whatever reason, I’m commenting at midnight on a year old UA-cam video. Please help
Greetings my friend. This is all I can say to you. Philippians 2:12 "Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence-continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling," Never relinquish God's faith and obey His commands (plural). God bless you.
Agree with main point of the video but I do love a good firey Baptist sermon. I've seen Catholic priests pull it off a couple times but I'd love to see more of it.
Great video. What the Roman Catholic Church believes now is different from the early Catholic Church James White explains this well in some of his videos.
James why is completely wrong about that. The fathers out of context, for if anyone read what the earliest Christians believe, they would see that they talk Catholic doctrines the same doctrines the Catholic Church still teaches today. In fact, the earliest Christians believe that Peter was the Rock. When James White debate and Tim Staples, he refused to admit that, but then Tim leaned over after the debate and said, "Come one, you know Peter was the rock." James White admitted that they believed he was the rock butt said he had a present the Protestant side. So he's even dishonest. His sister converted to Catholicism.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial It seems like the Roman Catholic faith is built on Peter how does your religion reconcile to the lines of people that found salvation and were getting baptized in New Testament scriptures and kept spreading the gospel? It doesn’t seem likely that everyone that got baptized and accepted Christ were Roman Catholic?
@@CatholicTruthOfficial "Blessed is He who is not scandalized in Me," says the Lord. To be convinced of the Truth of Christ's Church and yet remain outside on account of human respect is sure damnation.
Very well presented !! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍👍👍 We need to ask ourselves - are we pleasing ourselves or worshipping God. Are we worshipping the band or the pastor since the centre of Protestant service is the lead singer or pastor. Are we there for the emotional high or rather the spiritual high ? Are we feeding our emotions or spirituality? Are we there for God or for ourselves ? Who are you there for ?
One person said that the church is supposed to change us, we are not supposed to change the church in the same way that the Bible is supposed to change us. We are not supposed to change the Bible. If people change churches anytime they don't like something being preached, or disagrees with it what they personally think. That's not the way the Bible or the church is supposed to work.
If anyone is spiritually hungry, let them seek out the eternal bread of life which is Jesus Christ who is the Word of God, which if they eat of they shall hunger nevermore. Genesis 3:19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your bread, until you return to the ground-because out of it were you taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.” Psalm 23:1-4 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Proverbs 30:8 Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread that is my portion. Matthew 4:4 But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ” Matthew 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread. Matthew 26:26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.” John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 4:31-34 Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.” But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?” Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work. John 6:27 Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. John 6:32-35 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” “Sir,” they said, “give us this bread at all times.” Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst. John 6:48-51 I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.” John 21:17 Jesus asked a third time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was deeply hurt that Jesus had asked him a third time, “Do you love Me?” “Lord, You know all things,” he replied. “You know I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep. 1 Corinthians 10:16 Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?
I'm actually a Catholic who is against Protestantism. To clarify, I mean to say that Protestants are Church hopping and spritually hungry because they do not have the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, nor are they nourished by their daily bread of performing God's will that we should love our neighbor as ourselves, nor are they fed by Peter who was appointed shepherd over the whole flock, nor do they hear every word of God but only hear what they select to hear. I also believe as the Catholic Church also teaches that ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ. Catholic Catechism, para. 131-133: 131 "And such is the force and power of the Word of God that it can serve the Church as her support and vigor, and the children of the Church as strength for their faith, food for the soul, and a pure and lasting fount of spiritual life." Hence "access to Sacred Scripture ought to be open wide to the Christian faithful." 132 "Therefore, the study of the sacred page should be the very soul of sacred theology. The ministry of the Word, too - pastoral preaching, catechetics and all forms of Christian instruction, among which the liturgical homily should hold pride of place - is healthily nourished and thrives in holiness through the Word of Scripture." 133 The Church "forcefully and specifically exhorts all the Christian faithful. . . to learn the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ, by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures. Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.
@@deusimperator Yes the firehose approach is a good way to put it. If you look up the prop versus one by one you will see that they either have nothing to do with what you're talkin about or are misused and taken out of context. Even the devil can quote the Bible, right? That's why we recently made a Bible on why anti Catholics don't know the Bible and howthey misuse it against Catholics falsely.
@@deusimperator Yes, we have thought about making a video on this. We do address it in one of our recent videos with a Baptist convert to the Catholic Church. The video is Catholic questions for Protestants. And we talked about the trail of blood there. Even though it's been debunked by every historian. We might do a video on that just for fun.
To be honest, i feel that Odinary Form of Mass is similar to that of a traditional Protestant service No use comparing If you compare to TLM, i got to admit, there is a big difference.
The modern-day ordinary form is more so. And there is a big difference. However, I go to an ordinary form that is half in English and half Latin. They sing chance, respond in Latin, kneel to receive the Eucharist, and is extremely reverent. This is actually what the ordinary form is supposed to be according to Vatican II. But unfortunately liberal Bishops and Priests and so-called the theologians rebelled against the church and watered down the Mass to what we have today. It definitely needs to be reformed and we need to get back to the sacred.
Good analogi of children laughing.Two of my Catholic friend who are cousins always comment Catholics who left the house for the garden often badmouth Our Lady and rosary.And they observed that these ex Catholics often live very empty lives as a result but refuse to accept the truth.The friends were speaking about their own relatives who left

@@CatholicTruthOfficial Hi, may I ask some resources to confirm that the Catholic Church is founded by Jesus? I'd really like to know more of this Church. Thank you in advance!
I was raised in an American Baptist Church and said I identify as “just a Christian”. 😆thank God He used my boyfriend to bring me to His truth! Being confirmed in April❤️ Now I realize that nondenominational is such a silly concept, lol
hi Abby,I have to correct you in a loving way. You weren’t raised in an America Baptist church,but a Baptist cult. Jesus Christ founded but ONE Church the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH founded on the infallible Rock of Peter two millennia ago! Protestantism is man made not of God is 40,000 CULTS which are pagan! The Bible is a Catholic book the protestant Bible is an incomplete and corrupted Catholic book. Only Catholic’s go to Heaven! There’s NO salvation outside the holy Catholic Church. God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!!
@@simonslater9024 Thank you for correcting me. I agree with you. Jesus has one Bride, the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church! 🙇🏼♀️🍞 American Baptist and all other denominations are in rebellion against the Church Jesus founded. I will only obey Him and His Church💕
@@simonslater9024 You mean founded by the Romans, The persecution and murder of people trying to Worship the Lord, Protestantism is not a cult but simply Churches of people worshiping the Lord is a way different from Lord in the end of the day as long as you truly repent and hunger for his word the it doesn't matter what denomination you are of The fundamental.
The key that brought me back to the Catholic Church was and still is the Eucharist. While In the evangelical world I participated in many cracker and grape juice communion services. Out of all those communion services not one was consistent, didn’t know if the elements were a token or a symbol. I always felt like something was missing, those communion services were so incomplete and void. Of course the missing factor was and is the Body and Blood , Soul and Divinity of Jesus. After my returned I went to confession and went thru and confessed as much as I could remember of forty years of being away from The Church. I ask the Priest if I was able to receive Jesus in the Eucharist and of course he said I could. What I found a bit strange when I re-received my first communion agai were the tears as I approached Jesus in the Eucharist. For some time after that I would tear up wondering what was happening. Simply put, I came back to that which was and still is missing in the evangelical communion services, Jesus in his completeness, The Eucharist.
I am a catholic since birth and i became slack with my works for God. And i hope it will happen to you too that someone will come to remind us that we need to push through our faith. Guess what, that person is not even a catholic but a muslim. Remember that God and his son Jesus is watching us. He does things in mysterious ways. The Catholic church is giving more teachings other than what is written on the Bible for us to fully understand what God wants us to do. Miracles are shown by God. Bible though by fully understanding and applying it on your ways is enough for salvation. But lot of people does not believe unless they have seen or experienced it.
@J The Catholic Church is not a denomination. Denominations came about when Luther and Calvin and others broke away from the Catholic Church, the very church that Jesus started. So the Catholic church is pre denominational. And since it was started by Jesus himself, it is the fullness of Truth. We agree though that we should take pride in Christ, but also should love his Church which is his bride.
@J The Catholic Church was still started by Jesus and therefore has His authority and the fullness of truth. Luther was excommunicated because he was already breaking away from the church by inventing new doctrines, traditions of men, and stubbornly clinging to them.
@@dannydoughboy120 Martin Luther loved the catholic church. He never wanted to leave it. The abuses by the pope and the rest of the "holy" abusers was what Luther wanted to change. Luther wanted the church to follow scripture. Luther had his issues too; I'm not saying that he was perfect because he was far from it. I'm a former catholic who now follows and worships GOD the Father, GOD the Son and GOD the Holy Spirit ALONE. I pray only to GOD and I ask GOD for help. That's what Luther wanted for the church. The church of GOD the Son still exists today....and it's not what the catholic church is now.
I'm a recent Catholic convert and I have to say this spoke very truly to me. Spent years of my life hopping from church to church because I wasn't fed, or I didn't like the pastor (who was the center focus) or I didn't like the music. My wife and I just realized we've been attending our Catholic Church longer than we'd attended any other church since we'd been married, and we have no reason to leave because everything is centered on the Word of God.
So glad to hear it! Welcome home! We hope and pray for God to continue to guide you both and we hope that our videos continue to teach and inspire you as new Catholics. God bless you.
I suffered from reactive attachment disorder basically my entire life, 30+ years unable to love or be loved. It’s untreatable. Nothing in Protestantism helped, I looked for a decade. My first mass, at the consecration of the Eucharist, I felt loved for the first time in my entire life. I cried for an hour and a half, ugly cried, snot, tears. It was great.
Wow! Powerful testimony. Thank you for sharing. One of my most powerful healing moments was in front of the Eucharist during adoration. I cried for 45 straight minutes, ugly cry, and then got the gift of laughter for 45 minutes right after that. I felt so free, and light, and full of peace and love. It was so very healing. God bless you.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial because of my reactive attachment disorder and other circumstances in my childhood and life, I suffered for a long time in a way that is completely invisible to others. I carried that burden for a long time. Until Catholicism taught me to offer my suffering up for the salvation of souls. I gave it eagerly and God took it and I can forgive everyone involved and I no longer bear it’s burden. I also would do it again and again and again.
@Sonny Bruschetta 2nd Peter 3:16 “He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.” The only Catholics who buy what you are selling are extremely poorly Catechized, and have very little understanding of the Catholic faith, or they have some grudge against the Catholic Church. I also observe that Protestants who study actual history and the early Church Fathers see how Catholic the early Church was and become Catholic. They buy what the early Church fathers say because they are in such close proximity to the Apostles. They realize that there just is no life without the Eucharist just like Jesus said. They realize how Eucharistic the early Church was. The wide spread rejection of the Eucharist didn’t start until the early 16th century. What a devastatingly dangerous thing it is for a person to reject the Eucharist, It is Jesus Himself Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity actually physically present meant to be consumed by us so He can be totally United to us provided we are in a state of Grace when we receive Him. If we aren’t we have to go to a Sacramental confession to a Priest to be forgiven and absolved of any mortal sins we have. The Bible says there are sins that lead to death. The Eucharist is the medicine of immortality. There is nothing more important on the face of the Earth than the Eucharist, It is how we get to Heaven. I couldn’t go without receiving Jesus in the Eucharist everyday. When you stray from and reject the Eucharist you end up with Sola Scriptura and Sola Fide. You go to buildings in malls where they have rick concerts, smoke, and laser shows while you drink coffee then listen to a 45 minute sermon. There is nothing remotely Christian about any of it. Absolutely nothing about these rock concerts followed by a 45 minute sermon was practiced in the early Church. This stuff evolved out of Luther and Calvin, not from Jesus or the apostles.

What's a cradle Catholic? (I've not been baptized in the Roman Catholic church yet because I was born into a protestant familie so don't attack me for asking this😂.
@@catholiccross9328 i was born catholic, baptized and raised catholic. Thank you for asking.😍 Most churches in our diocese has 8-14 mass schedule every single day. No reason we cannot attend mass. I have good protestant friends and we just love and respect each other especially with regards to what we believe.❤️
I was born in a Catholic family and went to Catholic schools even my post grad as a professional, I was in a Catholic institution. My family never missed the Sunday mass and etc. The Catholic teachings were not imposing and aggressive and I never heard not once a Catholic saying bad stuff about any religion rather I felt Catholics being attacked more. As I grow older, my life experiences had drawn me closer to my Catholic beliefs and having a relationship with Jesus is indeed a personal thing . I am so grateful having found Jesus on my own and being in the Catholic faith is my most wonderful blessing in this lifetime ! I shall never ever let a pastor dictate my relationship with Jesus. Only Jesus - I follow him ! There is absolutely NO ONE, who can make me stop praying the Holy rosary and forget to venerate Mama Mary. JESUS wants us to love His mother. If you truly love Jesus , you will also love His mother. Anyone who ask you to stop praying the rosary - is diabolic. They said the the Catholic priests and the pope are sinners and they won't follow them. And I agree that they too are sinners, even I am a sinner, just like all their pastors too. We do not follow the Pope rather we follow God's words . It is ONLY GOD who can judge the pope and the priests - they too are human. Their purpose is serve God - and help people be closer to God but they too are not perfect. One Judas, cannot make me leave my Catholic faith.
After leaving the Church as a teenager I ended up in a fundamental Bible church as an adult that was definitely scripture only and study & memorization was greatly incouraged. "Study to show thyself approved..", however I would hear that this person on the radio isn't preaching biblical or that church isn't or I have to dress a certain way to be a "member"...I studied,&prayed as I was greatly incouraged, put Proverbs 3:5-6 in practice and went back to the Church. Every thing you are explaining, I've seen or lived. Praise God im home
Damn bro.. i've been to sda, born again, islam, mormonism, fundamental baptist, iglesia ni cristo, pentecostal... thank you for reminding me of my deep soul searching for so many years. Welcome home.

@@daddada2984 There's much more abuses in Church of England than in Holy Catholic Church. Also, is sola Scriptura in the Bible? Or sola fide? Or other heretical nonsenses? No! What of Catholic teaching is against Bible? Ya heretics say that mass is not sacrifice, even though Christ said that it is sacrifice. So shut up.
@@daddada2984 , well then, sir, let me just do the honors of telling you that not everything that Jesus did was all written and could not possibly all be written. This is what the Bible itself tells us. In the apostle John’s gospel, this is how he ended up his gospel. It’s in the last verse of the last chapter of the Gospel according to John 21:25. What a way to end up his gospel to send that message, don’t you think so? Considering that the Gospel according to John is one of the last books written in the New Testament, alongside 1 John, 2 John, 3 John and the Book of Revelation - written probably in the last decade of the 1st century, as per Biblical scholars’ study. So this gives us an idea that everything about what might the earliest Christians have believed - that are not written in the Bible - might just be the reason why we believe certain things today that are not explicitly stated in the Bible but also might just be implied therein. This is the reason why Sola Scriptura is wrong and an error. It is actually illogical and at the same time unbiblical. And if you’re going to have a deep study of Christian history, you will find out that it is also unhistorical. As to religious sexual abuses and scandals, don’t you have any idea that in the United States of America alone, there are actually more cases of religious sexual abuses in American Protestant churches than in the American Catholic Church? Quite a surprise? This is the result of a study initiated and conducted by a group of American Protestant experts themselves who concluded that the problem of religious sexual abuses is not actually an issue of celibacy, but that sexual abuse is a human and social disease prevailing in all dimensions of human society, and that religious sexual abuses in the Catholic Church are unfairly hyped and not unique in the Catholic Church. And if you don’t believe this, you can actually google this up. So these might just help you have an open mind. God bless and peace be with you.
@@daddada2984 , ooops!!! wait a second... Before you start ranting about Catholicism, you should address the two issues that you poked here: - 1st, so where does it say in the Bible that everthing you need to believe about Jesus and what the apostles have taught is or are all written in the Bible, that everything you need to believe upon are all in the Bible? - And 2nd, I am challenging you to prove that religious sexual abuses only happen alone in the Catholic Church! YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE TWO ISSUES THAT YOU HURLED HERE FIRST, AND YOU HAVE TO GIVE US COMPELLING ANSWERS AND EVIDENCE, BEFORE YOU START PREACHING YOUR OWN GOSPEL AND MAKE US ALL BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS FAKE IN CATHOLICISM!!!
@@daddada2984 the word catholic was used by the early christians who made the bible which was compiled by catholic bishops Just because something is not in the bible doesn't mean it's man made Any bible verse like maccabees which proves purgatory also proves indulgences Catholics don't worship mary show me where in our catechism it says worship anyone other than God Pedophilia is just Satan trying to destroy the catholic church reputation So yeah the catholic church is the church of Jesus Christ
When I was a non-denominational, contemporary Protestant, I attended a military chapel with four pastors. Every one of them had to walk on eggshells around the others because none of them agreed: a staunch Southern Baptist, a free-will Baptist, a black Baptist, and a female chaplain. I eventually had to take copious notes during sermons to see if the sermons were drifting from the Bible. The music was good, but again, I always had to be on guard because many of the songs are shallow (hardly mentioning God), irreverent ("Reckless Love"), or flat-out wrong. Enter the Catholic Church, where priests may disagree but continue to stay united, homilies are short and have little bearing on the Mass, and the songs are specifically chosen, with many coming straight from Scripture (Vine and Branches, anyone?). Even now, due to Corona, our parish has people come in two services, alternating between Saturday night and Sunday morning (since it's military, we have to share with Protestants on Sunday), and there's no choir on Saturday nights -- but it is still just as spiritually deep.
Maybe you should check out the channel Sensus Fidelium. The traditional priests are outspoken and carry themselves like men. Traditional Catholic priests are the real deal. They aren’t afraid to speak up and speak the truth. And watching them and all they do makes you understand that it takes a real man to be a priest.
Yes I totally agree, I am a convert and went searching after.a life.of trauma, I wanted to get as close to Jesus as possible. I.converted 20.yrs ago.through reading all of.John 6. I tried all the different.denominations,.rock bands, dramatic big halls, healing services and more. I.find our Catholic Church so.peaceful.and Holy
If you "were" to be born again? The Bible itself teaches you "must" be born again (St. John 3:3). "Marvel not that I have said you must be born again" (St. John 3:7). If you have not been "born from above" as taught in St. John 3, you are lost in your sins and are deceived if you think you can be saved in any other way. "It is by grace you have been saved, through faith it is the gift of God, not through works lest anyone should boast" (Eph. 2:8,9). "Marvel not, you MUST be born again". Check the Holy Scriptures for yourself and choose such a great salvation (Heb. 2:3).
I guess it is to each his own. I am in RCIA at the current moment. I had been to a couple of different denominations, Baptist, Anglican, Pentecostal, and Non denominational. Each time, I went after about a year, or less, I would fall away. I felt like everyone at these churches met me at my level of Biblical knowledge. In other words, like I was spiritually immature and had never picked up a Bible before in my life. I always felt stupid and less "anointed" than the rest. As hard as I tried, I couldn't get closer to Jesus and always felt discouraged. Eventually, a Catholic friend of mine gave me a rosary and I decided to start praying it. EVERYTHING changed after that. I am so close to Jesus and keep getting closer. I have a deeper understanding of the Gospels, and just everything about Christianity. I can't imagine being anything other than Catholic!

True worship is what Jesus instituted at the Last Supper- the first Mass. This is also the Mass seen in Revelations. True worship is thus the Catholic Mass celebrated in the Catholic and Orthodox Church. The only true worship!!
@@CatholicTruthOfficial one of the main premises protestant used against our dogma. Some are desperately yruing to keep this up, they are so desparete to keep this LIE as a false truth in the face of society. Hmmm. Huehue
true worship and the fullness of truth exists only within the one holy catholic and apostolic church . and the orthodox church is not a part of this church , just to make it clear . though the orthodox community just like other protestant communities can have some MARKS of the church but they are not inside the church established by jesus christ . for that one must be in communion with the sovereign pontiff , the successor of st peter and the vicar of christ . to say communities outside the church are inside the church is to go against the canons and dogmas of the holy mother church .
100% - everything you said here! I separated myself from the Catholic Church at a time when I was hurting the most. But after going through several churches, I went back to THE Church and realised that what I truly need was sill waiting for me in our holy Church. I will say that some of the Protestant churches that I went to do have some amazing social programs (healing ministries and youth programs come to mind) and people who are very passionate about or Lord. I believe that they actually started me on my way BACK. But there is none that touches me as much and means as much to me as the Catholic Church. I definitely feel very spiritually fed since I have returned and I'll never separate myself from it again.
hi. you should talk to an ex catholic who became protestant and ex protestant who became catholic.. that would be a really good discussion and help see both sides without bias :) it would be quite informative.
This is excellent. This was my experience when I went to a non-denominational church and it was nice - but it felt like a concert. It didn’t feel or look holy. I know we all love Jesus- but they are mimicking the secular world. They look more and more like concert stages. It’s more like a mega social club.
Hi just to let you know there’s NO such thing as a non-denominational church because Jesus Christ founded but ONE Church two millennia ago! Protestantism is man made not of God is 40,000 CULTS which are pagan! The Bible is a Catholic book the protestant Bible is an incomplete and corrupted Catholic book. Only Catholic’s go to Heaven! God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!!
Have you ever been to an Anglican Church, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, etc.? The congregation discussed here is only one style. After the "concert" and worship was over, did you listen to the sermon/message?
@@johnc.8298 the message wasn’t based on the Bible as a whole. They take on passage and preach on it for hours. They don’t read the whole passage and that’s why a lot gets taken out of context.
When a Protestant, ends up church hopping, because they claim their not being fed; they’re on to something, even if they don’t realize it. What they desire, on some level, is to be joined to Christ in a real way. They’re searching for the Eucharist. ❤️
I am a Catholic my whole life but I just become deeper on my faith this past months, I understand now that Jesus is king and I fear him a lot and together with my faith my love for my church grew also, Catholic church is the mother of all Christianity. Indeed the true Church of Lord Jesus Christ. From apostle Peter the fisherman who have the keys to heaven. 💗❤️❤️
Being born in a Catholic family doesn't mean you are Catholic. I was turning a Mason thanks to my wife I am now, trying to imitate the Saints in order to live in Jesus. As St. Paul taught if he could I can also.
@@soukignacio3935 That's false. People who say the Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon are wrong and don't know Scripture. The whore is Pagan Rome and Jerusalem. We have a video on this. ua-cam.com/video/TwOWIsjV3Ss/v-deo.html
If somebody isn’t fed in Catholic Church then he don’t understand heck about catholicism. I get goosebumps on Holy Mass or during Rosary meditation. We need to pray for more of God’s help for such people.
Only a couple of months ago, I was listening to a Pentecostal service, and the Pastor said, “ I am only as good as my last sermon” If he fails to perform or entertain, then they leave in droves to other churches. Greetings from Wales. (IESU BENDIGEDIG). Wonderful Jesus.
I spent over thirty years in charismatic churches and I’m telling you that there is no food like the Eucharist. The only satisfaction is with the Mass; everything else is a distraction.
Anything outside of the church just simply feels watered down and insufficient. So proud to be a Catholic, going to continue to fight to defend the one true apostolic Church of Jesus Christ
This is what I do experience. I am spritually fed in the catholic church. More, at home, the tradition of faith practice of the catholicism leads me to live a chtistian life
I agree, a homily or sermon should convict you, not just make you feel good. Unfortunately many Protestant churches have feel good sermons, or as the Apostle Paul would say tickling the ears.
I went to a variety of Protestant churches for over 65 years and never felt spiritual until I started being drawn to the Catholic Church. Protestant services are just a few songs and a sermon and goodby till next Sunday and only a simplified cheap communion every 3 - 6 months. Catholic Church offers so much more, mass everyday, saints, liturgy, rosary, tons of beautiful prayers, and endless ways of worshiping God, sacraments, sacramentals, and seemingly endlessly on and on
clearly,good healing words for me,Amen ,,, the mass is the highest prayer,catholic has 7 sacraments,so,,brother and sister dont go out in catholic faith because your name list in the book of salvation at that day you baptize,
I left to attend an Assemblies of God after I left a Capuchin Friary. The people were great, the lack of substance, not so much. It was more like attending a Christian music concert. No substance or depth. I've since returned home, brought my family back to the Catholic Church and am now pursuing being a Deacon. God will always bring you back to Truth if you listen to him!
It’s my belief that one day all Christians will be United within the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Glory to Jesus Christ and love for my Orthodox and Protestants brothers and sisters of all stripes (denominations), everywhere. Even if you don’t love us, we love you anyways and may God bless and keep you.
I grew up Presbyterian. I went to a Catholic Mass with a friend and never left. I am so thankful to God for planting a seed in me to desire the Catholic Church. I found home. ❤️
Amen! Welcome home!
😮❤
Congrats to you my dear!!!
God bless you and welcome home. God is good
I was raised in a Southern Baptist church and never attended a Catholic Mass until I attended Catholic wedding and funeral Mass. I always felt that the churches I attended growing up were 70% about the sermon and about 30% music. Maybe 60/40, but anyway, I was just a spectator at a show or it felt like a lecture on the Bible with PowerPoint slide shows. Don't get me wrong, it's effective and it's where I was saved when I was 13. But when I attended Mass, I felt like a kid at Thanksgiving that got to sit at the grownups table. It just felt holy, reverent, ancient, and like something straight out of heaven. Protestants always say that Catholics don't have reverence for the Bible. Well, here comes this Deacon during the processional carrying this big, red book over his head with gold embossed lettering.
At my Baptist church, you mostly sit. You stand a few times, shake some hands, and there's a lot of talking. Talking, before, during, and after the service. With Catholic Mass you sit, stand, kneel, come forward, go back, kneel, sit, stand some more. You have speaking parts, or responses. There's physical gestures, such as making the sign of the cross, beating your chest, making the sign of the cross over your forehead, lips, and chest before reading the gospel, there's bowing, and all the while there is silence. Before, during and after. Well, in between babies crying, because we don't have a "kid's church". Everyone from newborn to 105 is in the same Mass, because there's not a contemporary and traditional Mass.
Just as I'm becoming a Catholic, I have in-laws wanting to leave the Church because they "aren't being fed spiritually". I told them I've been there, done that. You get comfy seats, friendly folks, and a good sermon. But you will be missing the physical body and blood of Christ. Enjoy the show! Good Protestants make Strong Catholics, Weak Catholics make Good Protestants.
Amen! Thank you for sharing. God bless and guide you. And God bless your family.
Hey Tr3KKer, you made me smiling in here. Absolutely agree with everything you wrote. God bless you.
Those Catholics who leave the Church are those who participate the least. That either do not attend Mass, or stand silent during the prayers and responses. The more you participate and go above and beyond the minimum the more the Church matters to you.
@@DavcramerI know Catholics who have left because of the sex scandals. Because so many bishops moved priests who were pedophiles from parish to parish, rather than report the offenders to law enforcement, they have lost their willingness to be part of the Church, and in some cases, their faith in God.
I have been to Catholic weddings and funerals. I get admonished, as a Protestant, to not take communion.
For a church that claims to be universal, it seems to be like a country club that doesn't like guests.
On the other hand, my denomination, the United Methodist Church, has the open table, which I believe is far more welcoming. It's like a public golf course.
Watching this with my hubby at 1:19 am from England. He’s Protestant. This is amazing. You are amazing.
As an episcopalian convert would be more amazing to you and your husband seriously becoming catholic as one catholic prelate said delayed obedience is a disobedience,therefore beginning becoming catholic is the now or never by Grace.
Praying for him and you.
I’m a Catholic convert. Thank you Lord for your true presence in the Holy Eucharist!
Amen!
Almost 30 yrs ago, I entered a Catholic Church with my fiancé and fell in love with it immediately. Several years later after finishing RCIA I decided to leave Islam & follow my Lord Jesus Christ. Ever since we have been involved in pretty much every aspect of the church life and I totally agree with the brother in this video & can not imagine attending a church where Eucharist is not available.
Wow! Praise be to the living God! Thank you so much for sharing your testimony. So glad to hear it. May God continue to guide you and inspire you and bless you.
i love your videos! grew up southern baptist converted to the Catholic faith best decision ever!
Awesome! Glad to hear it!🙌🙌
I am strongly say I am highly blessed to be a Catholic person. Praise you Jesus, Thank you Mother Mary
I was raised Protestant and I converted to Catholicism because I found the Holy Spirit there.
I was raised an atheist, and converted to Christianity at age 32, when I discovered it is impossible for the ten commandments to be the law of Moses, thus protestant and catholic be bogus from the start.
How the catholics don't know this, or do? After all, it's undeniable by the scripture they canonized.
@@eltonron1558 Can you please explain your thoughts a bit more? I’m interested..
@johnsteila6049 When you read Mathew 4:4, at the beginning of the new testament, you either read it and just go on, or discern what it means.
It means humanity will live by the ten commandments. If you think it means something else, please explain.
All laws given to Moses, were in private, ie. no one else heard. So how does humanity live by every word, if only Moses heard them?
Moses wrote it all down, however, by the rest of the new testament, the law of Moses, is done away. So, if humanity is to live by every word done away, how is humanity supposed to live? By the only words heard by anyone other than Moses, the ten commandments. God didn't give Moses the commandments. Moses only documented God speaking, and being heard by the entire 12 tribes, declaring the ten commandments, thus, not through Moses but by the voice of God, to many, thus, Mt. 4:4.
In Mt. 22:36-40, you read loving God, and neighbor, is all the law, the only law, according to Christ.
Show us your specific list of how to love God please. I will show mine after I see it.
@@eltonron1558 I don’t have a list of how to love God, I never made any such claim.
If your point is that The Bible contains contradictions or impossible mandates, then I agree..
@johnsteila6049 My point, is Mathew 22:36-40, is the ten commandments voiced as two by Christ. A specific list of how to love God with all heart, mind, soul, and strength, is easy for the truly converted.
1. I will have no other God's before me.
2. I will not use, or revere graven imagery.
3. I will not use his name in vain.
4. I will observe his sanctified holy Sabbath in gratitude and love.
My point ,is the vast majority of professing Christianity will have nothing to do with at least two of the commandments, because they think it's the law of Moses, done away, yet by Christ NOT.
So, catholic or protestant, lives in a contradiction to their own scripture. You too? Why?
Many of these Protestant churches work on people's emotions.
It’s like watching people chanting. Repeating the same line over again then climaxing into a frenzy.
The protestant professes faith, & may get baptized, but does not receive the body & blood per the early church fathers. 3 conditions of our faith to salvation.
The devil has access to the lower faculties, ie the emotions.
The catholic faith actually does that too because Mary is not in heaven. Mary is in hell and you need to stop praying to her. Mary tried to abort Jesus and failed.
@@satanchrist2883 I pray you fix your head
Great. Wonderful, Brian. I appreciate your zeal and enthusiasm in presenting the Catholic truth as forcefully as possible. We need more people like you to defend and propagate the Catholic faith. God bless you and your listeners.

I always watched the UA-cam channels of our Catholic Faith Defenders here in Philippines
Your explanation and their explanation was desame but Filipino language.
kelangan pa natin na mas mapalaganap ang mga ganitong videos
This was the best video I have ever come across. I needed this. Thank you.
I’ve been to hundreds of Protestant services where there were no Bible verses used as the basis for the sermon. It was pastors opinions, and now it’s all politics and American nationalism.
2020 pandemic restrictions made it so difficult to be present on Sunday mass.😢
Personally, I found a HUGE difference between watching mass online and being able to participate in the Eucharist. I always felt that it's not the same without taking the Body of Christ. The spiritual hunger is real for me.
But now that they're easing restrictions,
I'm now able to take the Eucharist and I feel whole again. 🙏❤
Many people found it difficult. While different, my wife and I trued to put the same reverence and fervent prayer at home as at church. We hope you can go back soon. May God be with you and bless you.
I feed my spiritual hunger by being in the word and praying and worshiping Jesus. Also by being around other believers. That is my favorite thing. I'm not catholic either.
During Covid seasons, i never stopped going to mass , i thought to myself the sick, the lame, deaf or blind go to Jesus while he was on earth and He bless them and healed them, can He not do the same at the holy mass? I understand there’s precautions that we must do for the sake of others. But how much Faith and trust we have in Jesus?
That’s what I hated the most during the pandemic. I hated being unable to go to church because the Eucharist was why I went to Mass.
The highest form and complete prayer is the Holy Mass...Thanks bro for sharing information to us... proud to be Catholic🙏 God bless🙏
Jesus said it's the Lord's prayer, but then, u may b right and he's wrong.
So many people that I know that left the Catholic Church say that they get the Bible and Scriptures are not read at the Mass. NOT. NOT. We had a sort of seminar called “ Mass to Mission “. And I went to serve at an Aries weekend. The final Mass the usual Mass ordinarily takes about 35-45 minutes. This priest took the time to explain everything from his preparation for the Mass to every vestment he puts on. Every thing used in the Mass from the light to all the other things related to altar and Chalice was explained and all the blessings. He explained every single prayer and reading from the Bible and every blessing explained. This Mass took almost 2 hours. I am cradle Catholic. I got a wonderful lesson. What a huge blessing. It was another awakening for me. I believe that we brought at least 99% of these fallen away Catholics back to the Catholic Church and possibly the same in conversion to Catholicism. It was awesome. I was in tears of joy. It was most definitely not boring at all. This was the perfect priest to do this. He was so filled with the Holy Spirit. Evangelization to the millionth degree 🙏❤️❤️💕💕❤️❤️😇😇
Catholic Church is the Home of real faith. Praise The Lord. 🙏🙏
Reversion to catholic 2 years ago... best decision ever! Wow!! Like sanctification on steriods if one follows the traditional teachings. The bible comes alive!
Amen!
Catholic revert here. Got lead out of the Church by some well meaning people. Lost the Eucharist for 13 years and church hopped between 6 different churches. Finally got fed up and God led me back to the His church, the Catholic Church. I now treasure the mass and the Eucharist like never before.
Amen amen! Praise God! If you ever want to share your story, on our podcast let us know. Bryan@catholictruth.org
Have a blessed day.
Good point and how beautifully explained... 🙏🏻
Thank you brother Bryan.
You are a true gift from God to the Catholic Church.
As a matter of fact and based on evidence (per the comments i.e. this video,, it is explicit that many non-Christians and protestants have had converted and returned to the Catholic Church.). The compelling and prevailing evidence to prove that is by making reference to the good contents of your work of evangelization.
You are amazing brother in Christ.
To God be the Glory.
Catholic as always.

Holy
Catholic
Apostolic.
End of story.
Only the catholic church is holy?
@@greghamilton3830 that's correct.
Feelings are very deceptive... 👍

***faith is an individual choice, but traditions and different environments removes our capacity for the choice. If we do not have the capacity or the opportunity nor the education we can not choose, after all environment is the greater force on our choice; in my particular case it took me plus or minus 70 years of my life to have my spiritual life clear and understood giving me the happiness and balance that we always seek in life. The truth is, I spent a great deal of time studying my case to reach what I am now .***

GOD Bless you bro, keep up the good work.
Thank you! God bless you too.
I was born and raised Catholic. Went to Catholic elementary school and learned the Baltimore Catechism . The church was all rules, rules and more rules. Obey the rules and you will be okay. Nothing about a relationship with Jesus. Jesus was locked away in the tabernacle, sometimes behind a veil as well and then too the communion rail keeping the congregation at a distance. Only the holy priest and others so ordained to enter the holy space could go there. I felt a complete separation from God. It was only after Vactican II that the church became more meaningful to me. As an adult I studied more, learned more, understood more of what the church was all about. And that the Mass is true worship. I've been to non Catholic services, including Mormon. They have their prayers, hymns and scripture readings and a sometimes lengthy sermon. And occasionally communion. And most don't believe in the Real Presence! Mostly a total bore! Today Mass is much more meaningful to me and we Catholics get it all, scripture and Eucharist. And we give true worship to God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. And when you more deeply into the mass you will know that there are unseen things going on during mass but are essential to it. Sorry, this is so long. Hope I've made my point.
We are so glad to hear that you've come back and love your face. We do agree with you though and large part about what you said. Even after Vatican too many people still have the same experience you did. I grew up with the nuns who are mean and angry and did nothing to show Christ or relationship with him. It seems to be all about singing songs and following the rules, which is important. But a relationship with Christ was not stressed enough. Thankfully, that changed in college a complete 180. Where I was shown and top the love of Christ and the full Catholicism.
I've also seen that the opposite is true. Protestant say just have faith in your saved. There's not a lot of talk about obedience or personal accountability for sin. What we need is both. A vibrant wonderful relationship with Jesus and obedience to his Commandments while trying to uproot sin from our lives out of love for him. How are thoughts. God bless you. And thanks for your comment.
The issue with this video is precisely the problem with Catholicism. That somehow, the church building and who is at the pulpit is more significant than the Cornerstone and the body of Christ. People aren't leaving the Catholic church with crumbs, they're leaving the catholic church to have living water, to really walk with Christ and get to know him, and read Scripture. The reference to the storm is particularly interesting, "if a storm comes you may not be safe in the tent." The tent will be safer if THAT'S WHERE JESUS IS.
Also, it's very apparent that you're referring to Megachurches particularly which doesn't represent evangelical christianity and all those congregations as a whole, to insinuate that is intelectually misleading and dishonest.
When was the last time you confessed your sins to a priest? If you reject the sacrament of confession that Christ instituted in John 20:20-23, you're not a Christian, period. That's how things were always done until Protestants came along in the 16th century an started introducing false teachings that broke with the sacred tradition that had been handed down from generation to generation for 1500 years. If you die with just one unconfessed mortal sin on your soul (such as watching pornography and masturbation) you won't get to heaven. Something to think about.
The Scripture you cited says that the disciples received the Holy Spirit and therefore had the power to forgive. There isn’t anywhere in Scripture that states that Roman Catholic priests are the only ones endowed with the Holy Spirit. In fact, that’s heresy. The Bible says “confess your sins to one another,” (James 5:16) and also “confess your sins to the Lord...” (1 John 1:9.) If you die, thinking that salvation comes through sacraments and works, and not by grace alone, you won’t get to heaven. “ “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.”
Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV
It is Jesus who sanctifies, nota mere mortal sinner (like you and I) in robes.
God bless you, Luke. Thanks for having a concern for my place in eternity, that’s the spirit of a true disciple.
I'm grateful and thankful being Catholic Faith 🙏🙏🙏God Jesus Christ my true father here in earth and to heaven how I feel true love with God🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰
I go to a non denominational church and this video popped up and for some reason I didn’t dislike it. Some things were said that I really do agree with. I’ve been looking in to the Catholic Church for about a year but keep disregarding it because of my struggle with Marian dogma. I can get behind most of the Catholic teachings but I just am at a major road block with what I believe. I’m looking into Anglicanism, Presbyterianism, orthodoxy and Catholicism but don’t feel I’m making any movement towards any of them. Just stuck not knowing what to do going to the same non denominational church because the community is good. I need advice and for whatever reason, I’m commenting at midnight on a year old UA-cam video. Please help
Greetings my friend. This is all I can say to you. Philippians 2:12 "Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence-continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling," Never relinquish God's faith and obey His commands (plural). God bless you.
Agree with main point of the video but I do love a good firey Baptist sermon. I've seen Catholic priests pull it off a couple times but I'd love to see more of it.
I'm Protestant I agree with you so much the catholic church is the historical church
Me too agree with you
Thank you bro🙏
Great video. What the Roman Catholic Church believes now is different from the early Catholic Church James White explains this well in some of his videos.
James why is completely wrong about that. The fathers out of context, for if anyone read what the earliest Christians believe, they would see that they talk Catholic doctrines the same doctrines the Catholic Church still teaches today. In fact, the earliest Christians believe that Peter was the Rock. When James White debate and Tim Staples, he refused to admit that, but then Tim leaned over after the debate and said, "Come one, you know Peter was the rock." James White admitted that they believed he was the rock butt said he had a present the Protestant side. So he's even dishonest. His sister converted to Catholicism.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial thanks for the response I enjoy your videos. I will look into this some more.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial It seems like the Roman Catholic faith is built on Peter how does your religion reconcile to the lines of people that found salvation and were getting baptized in New Testament scriptures and kept spreading the gospel? It doesn’t seem likely that everyone that got baptized and accepted Christ were Roman Catholic?
@@CatholicTruthOfficial "Blessed is He who is not scandalized in Me," says the Lord. To be convinced of the Truth of Christ's Church and yet remain outside on account of human respect is sure damnation.
Very well presented !! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍👍👍
We need to ask ourselves - are we pleasing ourselves or worshipping God.
Are we worshipping the band or the pastor since the centre of Protestant service is the lead singer or pastor.
Are we there for the emotional high or rather the spiritual high ?
Are we feeding our emotions or spirituality?
Are we there for God or for ourselves ? Who are you there for ?
One person said that the church is supposed to change us, we are not supposed to change the church in the same way that the Bible is supposed to change us. We are not supposed to change the Bible. If people change churches anytime they don't like something being preached, or disagrees with it what they personally think. That's not the way the Bible or the church is supposed to work.
If anyone is spiritually hungry, let them seek out the eternal bread of life which is Jesus Christ who is the Word of God, which if they eat of they shall hunger nevermore.
Genesis 3:19
By the sweat of your brow you will eat your bread, until you return to the ground-because out of it were you taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.”
Psalm 23:1-4
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Proverbs 30:8
Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread that is my portion.
Matthew 4:4
But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”
Matthew 6:11
Give us this day our daily bread.
Matthew 26:26
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.”
John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 4:31-34
Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.” But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?” Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.
John 6:27
Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.
John 6:32-35
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” “Sir,” they said, “give us this bread at all times.” Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.
John 6:48-51
I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.”
John 21:17
Jesus asked a third time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was deeply hurt that Jesus had asked him a third time, “Do you love Me?” “Lord, You know all things,” he replied. “You know I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.
1 Corinthians 10:16
Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?
Copy and paste troll comment.
Oh ok. Apologies then! Usually it's the anti Catholics who just post long Bible verses. But it makes sense in this case.
I'm actually a Catholic who is against Protestantism. To clarify, I mean to say that Protestants are Church hopping and spritually hungry because they do not have the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, nor are they nourished by their daily bread of performing God's will that we should love our neighbor as ourselves, nor are they fed by Peter who was appointed shepherd over the whole flock, nor do they hear every word of God but only hear what they select to hear. I also believe as the Catholic Church also teaches that ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.
Catholic Catechism, para. 131-133:
131 "And such is the force and power of the Word of God that it can serve the Church as her support and vigor, and the children of the Church as strength for their faith, food for the soul, and a pure and lasting fount of spiritual life." Hence "access to Sacred Scripture ought to be open wide to the Christian faithful."
132 "Therefore, the study of the sacred page should be the very soul of sacred theology. The ministry of the Word, too - pastoral preaching, catechetics and all forms of Christian instruction, among which the liturgical homily should hold pride of place - is healthily nourished and thrives in holiness through the Word of Scripture."
133 The Church "forcefully and specifically exhorts all the Christian faithful. . . to learn the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ, by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures. Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.
@@deusimperator Yes the firehose approach is a good way to put it. If you look up the prop versus one by one you will see that they either have nothing to do with what you're talkin about or are misused and taken out of context. Even the devil can quote the Bible, right? That's why we recently made a Bible on why anti Catholics don't know the Bible and howthey misuse it against Catholics falsely.
@@deusimperator Yes, we have thought about making a video on this. We do address it in one of our recent videos with a Baptist convert to the Catholic Church. The video is Catholic questions for Protestants. And we talked about the trail of blood there. Even though it's been debunked by every historian. We might do a video on that just for fun.
To be honest, i feel that Odinary Form of Mass is similar to that of a traditional Protestant service
No use comparing
If you compare to TLM, i got to admit, there is a big difference.
The modern-day ordinary form is more so. And there is a big difference. However, I go to an ordinary form that is half in English and half Latin. They sing chance, respond in Latin, kneel to receive the Eucharist, and is extremely reverent. This is actually what the ordinary form is supposed to be according to Vatican II. But unfortunately liberal Bishops and Priests and so-called the theologians rebelled against the church and watered down the Mass to what we have today. It definitely needs to be reformed and we need to get back to the sacred.
Good analogi of children laughing.Two of my Catholic friend who are cousins always comment Catholics who left the house for the garden often badmouth Our Lady and rosary.And they observed that these ex Catholics often live very empty lives as a result but refuse to accept the truth.The friends were speaking about their own relatives who left
Correct, i have been in protestant Churches but the bible readingnis lack luster and the catholic Church reads more from the Bible

Now I realize that nondenominational is such a silly concept, lol
Amen to that!
hi Abby,I have to correct you in a loving way. You weren’t raised in an America Baptist church,but a Baptist cult. Jesus Christ founded but ONE Church the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH founded on the infallible Rock of Peter two millennia ago! Protestantism is man made not of God is 40,000 CULTS which are pagan! The Bible is a Catholic book the protestant Bible is an incomplete and corrupted Catholic book. Only Catholic’s go to Heaven! There’s NO salvation outside the holy Catholic Church. God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!!
@@simonslater9024 Thank you for correcting me. I agree with you. Jesus has one Bride, the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church! 🙇🏼♀️🍞
American Baptist and all other denominations are in rebellion against the Church Jesus founded. I will only obey Him and His Church💕
@@simonslater9024 You mean founded by the Romans, The persecution and murder of people trying to Worship the Lord, Protestantism is not a cult but simply Churches of people worshiping the Lord is a way different from Lord in the end of the day as long as you truly repent and hunger for his word the it doesn't matter what denomination you are of The fundamental.
Maybe you think non denominationalism was silly , but it brought you to where you are now. So it was necessary. 🙏🏼
The key that brought me back to the Catholic Church was and still is the Eucharist. While In the evangelical world I participated in many cracker and grape juice communion services. Out of all those communion services not one was consistent, didn’t know if the elements were a token or a symbol.
I always felt like something was missing, those communion services were so incomplete and void. Of course the missing factor was and is the Body and Blood , Soul and Divinity of Jesus. After my returned I went to confession and went thru and confessed as much as I could remember of forty years of being away from The Church. I ask the Priest if I was able to receive Jesus in the Eucharist and of course he said I could. What I found a bit strange when I re-received my first communion agai were the tears as I approached Jesus in the Eucharist. For some time after that I would tear up wondering what was happening. Simply put, I came back to that which was and still is missing in the evangelical communion services, Jesus in his completeness, The Eucharist.
I am a catholic since birth and i became slack with my works for God. And i hope it will happen to you too that someone will come to remind us that we need to push through our faith. Guess what, that person is not even a catholic but a muslim. Remember that God and his son Jesus is watching us. He does things in mysterious ways. The Catholic church is giving more teachings other than what is written on the Bible for us to fully understand what God wants us to do. Miracles are shown by God. Bible though by fully understanding and applying it on your ways is enough for salvation. But lot of people does not believe unless they have seen or experienced it.
I proud to be a truly Holy Catholic Church
@J not all types of pride is condemned. The Bible even says to boast in Christ
@J The Catholic Church is not a denomination. Denominations came about when Luther and Calvin and others broke away from the Catholic Church, the very church that Jesus started. So the Catholic church is pre denominational. And since it was started by Jesus himself, it is the fullness of Truth. We agree though that we should take pride in Christ, but also should love his Church which is his bride.
@J The Catholic Church was still started by Jesus and therefore has His authority and the fullness of truth. Luther was excommunicated because he was already breaking away from the church by inventing new doctrines, traditions of men, and stubbornly clinging to them.
@J Just as Judas was led astray by satan, as was Martin Luther! The Catholic church did need reformation, but ML went about it the wrong way!
@@dannydoughboy120 Martin Luther loved the catholic church. He never wanted to leave it. The abuses by the pope and the rest of the "holy" abusers was what Luther wanted to change. Luther wanted the church to follow scripture. Luther had his issues too; I'm not saying that he was perfect because he was far from it. I'm a former catholic who now follows and worships GOD the Father, GOD the Son and GOD the Holy Spirit ALONE. I pray only to GOD and I ask GOD for help. That's what Luther wanted for the church. The church of GOD the Son still exists today....and it's not what the catholic church is now.
I'm a recent Catholic convert and I have to say this spoke very truly to me. Spent years of my life hopping from church to church because I wasn't fed, or I didn't like the pastor (who was the center focus) or I didn't like the music. My wife and I just realized we've been attending our Catholic Church longer than we'd attended any other church since we'd been married, and we have no reason to leave because everything is centered on the Word of God.
So glad to hear it! Welcome home! We hope and pray for God to continue to guide you both and we hope that our videos continue to teach and inspire you as new Catholics. God bless you.
I suffered from reactive attachment disorder basically my entire life, 30+ years unable to love or be loved. It’s untreatable. Nothing in Protestantism helped, I looked for a decade. My first mass, at the consecration of the Eucharist, I felt loved for the first time in my entire life. I cried for an hour and a half, ugly cried, snot, tears. It was great.
Wow! Powerful testimony. Thank you for sharing. One of my most powerful healing moments was in front of the Eucharist during adoration. I cried for 45 straight minutes, ugly cry, and then got the gift of laughter for 45 minutes right after that. I felt so free, and light, and full of peace and love. It was so very healing. God bless you.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial because of my reactive attachment disorder and other circumstances in my childhood and life, I suffered for a long time in a way that is completely invisible to others. I carried that burden for a long time. Until Catholicism taught me to offer my suffering up for the salvation of souls. I gave it eagerly and God took it and I can forgive everyone involved and I no longer bear it’s burden. I also would do it again and again and again.
Praise God! Thank you for sharing.
Yes and Amen! Feelings do matter in the Eucharist-when they draw us into deeper relationship with Yeshua and his universal family.
@Sonny Bruschetta 2nd Peter 3:16 “He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.”
The only Catholics who buy what you are selling are extremely poorly Catechized, and have very little understanding of the Catholic faith, or they have some grudge against the Catholic Church. I also observe that Protestants who study actual history and the early Church Fathers see how Catholic the early Church was and become Catholic. They buy what the early Church fathers say because they are in such close proximity to the Apostles. They realize that there just is no life without the Eucharist just like Jesus said. They realize how Eucharistic the early Church was. The wide spread rejection of the Eucharist didn’t start until the early 16th century. What a devastatingly dangerous thing it is for a person to reject the Eucharist, It is Jesus Himself Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity actually physically present meant to be consumed by us so He can be totally United to us provided we are in a state of Grace when we receive Him. If we aren’t we have to go to a Sacramental confession to a Priest to be forgiven and absolved of any mortal sins we have. The Bible says there are sins that lead to death. The Eucharist is the medicine of immortality. There is nothing more important on the face of the Earth than the Eucharist, It is how we get to Heaven. I couldn’t go without receiving Jesus in the Eucharist everyday. When you stray from and reject the Eucharist you end up with Sola Scriptura and Sola Fide. You go to buildings in malls where they have rick concerts, smoke, and laser shows while you drink coffee then listen to a 45 minute sermon. There is nothing remotely Christian about any of it. Absolutely nothing about these rock concerts followed by a 45 minute sermon was practiced in the early Church. This stuff evolved out of Luther and Calvin, not from Jesus or the apostles.
The only food I desire: Jesus in Holy Eucharist
@@hebrews5127 the eucharist isn't bread 💗 if you are not recievingthe eucharist, you are dead inside.
matthew 26:26 Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body"
John 6:53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves
1 Corinthians 11:24
and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me
John 6:54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day
If you truly believe the bible is the word of God, you must take it literally as the word of God.
You cannot survive on bread and drink alone.
You cannot be alive without eating the flesh and body of Christ.
@@hebrews5127 none of these take the literal direction and word of Christ and prove otherwise. He said it is his body, therefore it is his body. He said it is his blood, therefore it is his blood

You're baptism may well be valid. Most Christian baptism is
I was born in a Catholic family and went to Catholic schools even my post grad as a professional, I was in a Catholic institution. My family never missed the Sunday mass and etc. The Catholic teachings were not imposing and aggressive and I never heard not once a Catholic saying bad stuff about any religion rather I felt Catholics being attacked more. As I grow older, my life experiences had drawn me closer to my Catholic beliefs and having a relationship with Jesus is indeed a personal thing . I am so grateful having found Jesus on my own and being in the Catholic faith is my most wonderful blessing in this lifetime ! I shall never ever let a pastor dictate my relationship with Jesus.
Only Jesus - I follow him !
There is absolutely NO ONE, who can make me stop praying the Holy rosary and forget to venerate Mama Mary. JESUS wants us to love His mother. If you truly love Jesus , you will also love His mother. Anyone who ask you to stop praying the rosary - is diabolic.
They said the the Catholic priests and the pope are sinners and they won't follow them. And I agree that they too are sinners, even I am a sinner, just like all their pastors too. We do not follow the Pope rather we follow God's words . It is ONLY GOD who can judge the pope and the priests - they too are human. Their purpose is serve God - and help people be closer to God but they too are not perfect. One Judas, cannot make me leave my Catholic faith.
After leaving the Church as a teenager I ended up in a fundamental Bible church as an adult that was definitely scripture only and study & memorization was greatly incouraged.

@@daddada2984 There's much more abuses in Church of England than in Holy Catholic Church. Also, is sola Scriptura in the Bible? Or sola fide? Or other heretical nonsenses? No!
What of Catholic teaching is against Bible?
Ya heretics say that mass is not sacrifice, even though Christ said that it is sacrifice. So shut up.
@@daddada2984 , well then, sir, let me just do the honors of telling you that not everything that Jesus did was all written and could not possibly all be written.
This is what the Bible itself tells us.
In the apostle John’s gospel, this is how he ended up his gospel.
It’s in the last verse of the last chapter of the Gospel according to John 21:25.
What a way to end up his gospel to send that message, don’t you think so?
Considering that the Gospel according to John is one of the last books written in the New Testament, alongside 1 John, 2 John, 3 John and the Book of Revelation - written probably in the last decade of the 1st century, as per Biblical scholars’ study.
So this gives us an idea that everything about what might the earliest Christians have believed - that are not written in the Bible - might just be the reason why we believe certain things today that are not explicitly stated in the Bible but also might just be implied therein.
This is the reason why Sola Scriptura is wrong and an error. It is actually illogical and at the same time unbiblical. And if you’re going to have a deep study of Christian history, you will find out that it is also unhistorical.
As to religious sexual abuses and scandals, don’t you have any idea that in the United States of America alone, there are actually more cases of religious sexual abuses in American Protestant churches than in the American Catholic Church?
Quite a surprise?
This is the result of a study initiated and conducted by a group of American Protestant experts themselves who concluded that the problem of religious sexual abuses is not actually an issue of celibacy, but that sexual abuse is a human and social disease prevailing in all dimensions of human society, and that religious sexual abuses in the Catholic Church are unfairly hyped and not unique in the Catholic Church.
And if you don’t believe this, you can actually google this up.
So these might just help you have an open mind.
God bless and peace be with you.
@@daddada2984 , ooops!!! wait a second... Before you start ranting about Catholicism, you should address the two issues that you poked here:
- 1st, so where does it say in the Bible that everthing you need to believe about Jesus and what the apostles have taught is or are all written in the Bible, that everything you need to believe upon are all in the Bible?
- And 2nd, I am challenging you to prove that religious sexual abuses only happen alone in the Catholic Church!
YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE TWO ISSUES THAT YOU HURLED HERE FIRST, AND YOU HAVE TO GIVE US COMPELLING ANSWERS AND EVIDENCE, BEFORE YOU START PREACHING YOUR OWN GOSPEL AND MAKE US ALL BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS FAKE IN CATHOLICISM!!!
@@daddada2984 the roman catholic church is the church of Jesus Christ no man made treditions are in it
@@daddada2984 the word catholic was used by the early christians who made the bible which was compiled by catholic bishops

When I was a non-denominational, contemporary Protestant, I attended a military chapel with four pastors. Every one of them had to walk on eggshells around the others because none of them agreed: a staunch Southern Baptist, a free-will Baptist, a black Baptist, and a female chaplain. I eventually had to take copious notes during sermons to see if the sermons were drifting from the Bible. The music was good, but again, I always had to be on guard because many of the songs are shallow (hardly mentioning God), irreverent ("Reckless Love"), or flat-out wrong.
Enter the Catholic Church, where priests may disagree but continue to stay united, homilies are short and have little bearing on the Mass, and the songs are specifically chosen, with many coming straight from Scripture (Vine and Branches, anyone?). Even now, due to Corona, our parish has people come in two services, alternating between Saturday night and Sunday morning (since it's military, we have to share with Protestants on Sunday), and there's no choir on Saturday nights -- but it is still just as spiritually deep.
Amen. Well said. Thank you for sharing.
Maybe you should check out the channel Sensus Fidelium. The traditional priests are outspoken and carry themselves like men. Traditional Catholic priests are the real deal. They aren’t afraid to speak up and speak the truth. And watching them and all they do makes you understand that it takes a real man to be a priest.
Yes I totally agree, I am a convert and went searching after.a life.of trauma, I wanted to get as close to Jesus as possible. I.converted 20.yrs ago.through reading all of.John 6.

St. John chapter 6 is great of course. Have you read and applied St. John chapter 3 as well?
I am very happy to be a Catholic. If I were to be born again, I want to be a Catholic again. Praise be to God. 🙏🙏
If you "were" to be born again? The Bible itself teaches you "must" be born again (St. John 3:3). "Marvel not that I have said you must be born again" (St. John 3:7). If you have not been "born from above" as taught in St. John 3, you are lost in your sins and are deceived if you think you can be saved in any other way. "It is by grace you have been saved, through faith it is the gift of God, not through works lest anyone should boast" (Eph. 2:8,9). "Marvel not, you MUST be born again". Check the Holy Scriptures for yourself and choose such a great salvation (Heb. 2:3).
@@johnc.8298 One is born again through the Sacrament of Baptism. This is what the Catholic Church teaches.
😂I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST RELIGIONS. I' M PROUD THAT I AM A CATHOLIC.😂
Be careful of that "pride" thing, Holy Writ speaks of this.
Same.
True worship of God has always been liturgical.
I guess it is to each his own. I am in RCIA at the current moment. I had been to a couple of different denominations, Baptist, Anglican, Pentecostal, and Non denominational. Each time, I went after about a year, or less, I would fall away. I felt like everyone at these churches met me at my level of Biblical knowledge. In other words, like I was spiritually immature and had never picked up a Bible before in my life.
I always felt stupid and less "anointed" than the rest. As hard as I tried, I couldn't get closer to Jesus and always felt discouraged.
Eventually, a Catholic friend of mine gave me a rosary and I decided to start praying it. EVERYTHING changed after that. I am so close to Jesus and keep getting closer. I have a deeper understanding of the Gospels, and just everything about Christianity. I can't imagine being anything other than Catholic!
Wow! Thank you for sharing with us your wonderful testimony! Praise the Lord Jesus! Thank you Jesus. We are so glad to hear this, and are blessed by your testimony. The Rosary is a powerful prayer.
If you are interested we have two videos on the Rosary.

True worship is what Jesus instituted at the Last Supper- the first Mass. This is also the Mass seen in Revelations.
True worship is thus the Catholic Mass celebrated in the Catholic and Orthodox Church. The only true worship!!
@@deusimperator Jesus is sacrificed
Pope Francis, Jesus has already been sacrificed once and for all. He's not re sacrificed at the Mass. Just to make that clear for anyone reading this.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial one of the main premises protestant used against our dogma. Some are desperately yruing to keep this up, they are so desparete to keep this LIE as a false truth in the face of society. Hmmm. Huehue
true worship and the fullness of truth exists only within the one holy catholic and apostolic church . and the orthodox church is not a part of this church , just to make it clear . though the orthodox community just like other protestant communities can have some MARKS of the church but they are not inside the church established by jesus christ . for that one must be in communion with the sovereign pontiff , the successor of st peter and the vicar of christ . to say communities outside the church are inside the church is to go against the canons and dogmas of the holy mother church .
@@CatholicTruthOfficial sorry I got confused
But hey remember me
100% - everything you said here! I separated myself from the Catholic Church at a time when I was hurting the most. But after going through several churches, I went back to THE Church and realised that what I truly need was sill waiting for me in our holy Church. I will say that some of the Protestant churches that I went to do have some amazing social programs (healing ministries and youth programs come to mind) and people who are very passionate about or Lord. I believe that they actually started me on my way BACK. But there is none that touches me as much and means as much to me as the Catholic Church. I definitely feel very spiritually fed since I have returned and I'll never separate myself from it again.
Like the old saying goes a poor catholic will become protestants but a great protestant will become catholic.
hi. you should talk to an ex catholic who became protestant and ex protestant who became catholic.. that would be a really good discussion and help see both sides without bias :) it would be quite informative.
That's actually a good idea. I might try to set something like that up.
Amen... A proud Catholic from Philipppines...
Amen and welcome!
This is excellent. This was my experience when I went to a non-denominational church and it was nice - but it felt like a concert. It didn’t feel or look holy. I know we all love Jesus- but they are mimicking the secular world. They look more and more like concert stages. It’s more like a mega social club.
Thank you
Hi just to let you know there’s NO such thing as a non-denominational church because Jesus Christ founded but ONE Church two millennia ago! Protestantism is man made not of God is 40,000 CULTS which are pagan! The Bible is a Catholic book the protestant Bible is an incomplete and corrupted Catholic book. Only Catholic’s go to Heaven! God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!!
Have you ever been to an Anglican Church, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, etc.? The congregation discussed here is only one style. After the "concert" and worship was over, did you listen to the sermon/message?
@@johnc.8298 the message wasn’t based on the Bible as a whole. They take on passage and preach on it for hours. They don’t read the whole passage and that’s why a lot gets taken out of context.
@@simonslater9024 I agree with you.
This made me cry and so proud to be catholic!
catholic respect protestant debate........................proud to be catholic
you are not worthy to be called catholic if you cannot defend you faith
That is the most ridiculous comment I have ever heard regarding the Catholic faith, you dipsh!t !
@@dannydoughboy120 100% agree with u ... he just ignorant to actually say that
@@franciemcdonagh6468 thank you, God bless!
@@dannydoughboy120 Ephesians 4:29... Let no Corrupt word proceed from your mouth but only that which is edifying
@@Heavenly.Ministries Well, Francie agreed with me. Anyhow, and I God blessed her, and God bless you too!
Thank you for such valuable information! Your channel is such a blessing with a wealth of information!!!!
Thank you so much! We thank God for that. God bless you.
When a Protestant, ends up church hopping, because they claim their not being fed; they’re on to something, even if they don’t realize it. What they desire, on some level, is to be joined to Christ in a real way. They’re searching for the Eucharist. ❤️
As a Protestant the only spiritual feeding I got was that I knew I want to be a Christian. Then I became a Christian (Catholic).❤
I am a Catholic my whole life but I just become deeper on my faith this past months, I understand now that Jesus is king and I fear him a lot and together with my faith my love for my church grew also, Catholic church is the mother of all Christianity. Indeed the true Church of Lord Jesus Christ. From apostle Peter the fisherman who have the keys to heaven. 💗❤️❤️
So glad to hear it. Thanks for sharing!
Being born in a Catholic family doesn't mean you are Catholic. I was turning a Mason thanks to my wife I am now, trying to imitate the Saints in order to live in Jesus. As St. Paul taught if he could I can also.
Revelation also mentions Mother of Harlots and it Symbolizes the Catholic Church for they are not worshipping t hey are Blaspheming.
@@soukignacio3935 Do not speak bull shit...If you don't understand the book of Revelation, pls go and study it first.
@@soukignacio3935 That's false. People who say the Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon are wrong and don't know Scripture. The whore is Pagan Rome and Jerusalem. We have a video on this. ua-cam.com/video/TwOWIsjV3Ss/v-deo.html
I’m catholic and I have only one Protestant “church” once and it didn’t feel like Jesus was there.
Non Catholics who enter a Catholic Church typically experience the presence of Jesus who is in the Tabernacle.
If somebody isn’t fed in Catholic Church then he don’t understand heck about catholicism. I get goosebumps on Holy Mass or during Rosary meditation. We need to pray for more of God’s help for such people.
Only a couple of months ago, I was listening to a Pentecostal service, and the Pastor said, “ I am only as good as my last sermon” If he fails to perform or entertain, then they leave in droves to other churches. Greetings from Wales. (IESU BENDIGEDIG). Wonderful Jesus.
I spent over thirty years in charismatic churches and I’m telling you that there is no food like the Eucharist. The only satisfaction is with the Mass; everything else is a distraction.
Anything outside of the church just simply feels watered down and insufficient. So proud to be a Catholic, going to continue to fight to defend the one true apostolic Church of Jesus Christ
Literally everything about this video is my story.
Wow. Inspirational. The Catholic Church is my foundation. My home. My spiritual nourishment. ❤🙏🙏
This is what I do experience. I am spritually fed in the catholic church. More, at home, the tradition of faith practice of the catholicism leads me to live a chtistian life
I too,I am proud to be a Roman Catholic
Weak Catholics leave the true church and strong Protestants that find the answers come to the true church
Yes sir!
zinnngggg! There goes another opinion.
One cannot fed spiritually apart from the Word and the Eucharist.
I agree, a homily or sermon should convict you, not just make you feel good. Unfortunately many Protestant churches have feel good sermons, or as the Apostle Paul would say tickling the ears.
Beautiful video. Made me emotional and so grateful to know the truth. I love being Catholic because I love Christ!!!!
Amen! Thank you so much for watching.
IN CATHOLIC THE BODY AND BLOOD IS THE CENTER ,IN OTHER CHURCH THE POLPET IS THE CENTER
Personally I don't have issues with either. But I prefer the Catholic church
Proud to be in this Church Founded by Jesus Christ🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amen
Protestantism won’t save my soul.
They lack sacrificial worship Jn 6 51-58
I went to a variety of Protestant churches for over 65 years and never felt spiritual until I started being drawn to the Catholic Church. Protestant services are just a few songs and a sermon and goodby till next Sunday and only a simplified cheap communion every 3 - 6 months. Catholic Church offers so much more, mass everyday, saints, liturgy, rosary, tons of beautiful prayers, and endless ways of worshiping God, sacraments, sacramentals, and seemingly endlessly on and on
Praise be to God! Thank you so much for sharing your testimony. God bless you.
This is so true. Thank you for putting it in words.
clearly,good healing words for me,Amen ,,, the mass is the highest prayer,catholic has 7 sacraments,so,,brother and sister dont go out in catholic faith because your name list in the book of salvation at that day you baptize,
I left to attend an Assemblies of God after I left a Capuchin Friary. The people were great, the lack of substance, not so much. It was more like attending a Christian music concert. No substance or depth. I've since returned home, brought my family back to the Catholic Church and am now pursuing being a Deacon. God will always bring you back to Truth if you listen to him!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. May God continue to bless you and lead you.
I've often thought about that Brian. What do protestants worship.
The bible!
It’s my belief that one day all Christians will be United within the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Glory to Jesus Christ and love for my Orthodox and Protestants brothers and sisters of all stripes (denominations), everywhere. Even if you don’t love us, we love you anyways and may God bless and keep you.
Very good comment.
The Holy Eucharist I get in my mouth is touching my heart in comunion with JESUS my lovely Savior.
AMEN!
