Satan is very busy deceiving a lot of people.
But...
God is also busy saving a lot of people by converting anti catholics to Catholicism..
❤️❤️🙏🙏📿📿
I was raised catholic but my parents were not practicing catholics, so I had also a very shallow understanding of the Catholic Faith. When I became adult, a protestant invited me to attend their bible study and worship service. I attended only for 1 week. I got confused even more. I asked myself, "How come there are so many different churches and religions? Which is the true Church founded by Our Lord Jesus?" Then I saw a frame with a prayer written on it. The prayer is, "Teach me Your ways, O Lord, guide me in Your truth and lead me to Your path." (Psalm 25). I started to pray it often and became everyday. Then, I had asked Our Lord Jesus, "Lord, what is the TRUE Church You founded? Lead me there." Jesus led me to the Catholic Church (because It is the Church He established). Since then, I started studying the catholic teachings. I bought a big Bible, spiritual books, books about the life of saints, the writing of the saints like St. Alphonsus Liguori, St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross etc and the rest is history. Lol.
Praise God
🙏
Deo Gratias.Ave Maria.🌹🌹🌹🙏
Dear Christians if JESUS being born without a father proves he is God ➜ Then does that make Adam God, because he has no father or mother ❓
If being called son of God makes JESUS a real son of GOD ➜ then GOD has lots of CHILDREN ( 1 John 3:2 ) Dear friends, now we are children of God ➜ ( John 1 : 12 ) ( Galatians 3 : 26 ) ( Isaiah 43: 6-7 ) ( Ephesians 4 : 6 )
If being able to perform miracles makes you GOD, then Elijah is GOD ➜ ( 2 Kings 2:8 ) Then Elijah took his cloak and rolled it up and struck the water, and the water was parted to the one side and to the other, till the two of them could go over on dry ground
If JESUS was on a MISSION to die for our sins ➜ Why was he begging GOD to SAVE him ❓( Jesus Cried out in a Loud voice, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" ) ( Matthew 27 : 46 )
@@thetruthwithproof8802 "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Jesus was reciting the psalm. 22. If you read the whole verse, you will realize that the bottom line is that God is always there.
Your Ifs and therefore logics are full of holes, Your first argument doesn't even exist- No Christian religion claim that Jesus is God simply because He was born without a father.
Jesus is truly the Son . Nicene creed states that He is the ONLY begotten Son, compared to the 'lots of children' you mentioned.
Why can't God authorize His people to do miracles for Him?
I had a Catholic upbringing until i was 14. At that time my Catholic father succumbed to the pressure of my Baptist mother and we switched. I had attended Catholic school up until that point and truly loved being Catholic. For the next 30 years I found myself in Protestant Churches but it never felt like home. Catholicism was in my heart. For some reason I always had Roman Catholic on my dog tags during my 20 year career. It was just in my heart. I’m now active in my Parish and have found so much peace being home finally.
I myself brought up in Catholic then went on to AOG, nothing wrong with it, but it open my eyes and end up back to my home the Catholic church, praise God, I understand more about the Catholic teaching and its good to be back home. 🙏.
There is so much that our protestants brothers don't know of Catholicism and attack and critizize what they don't know. It's sad.
In the words of Venerable Fulton Sheen "there aren't 100 people who hate the Catholic Church" people hate what they believe the Catholic Church to be or what they think it teaches, not what it actually teaches.
Thank God you are back in the Household of one true Catholic church.
For me as a cradle Catholic I’ve come to realize that the greatest stumbling block for Catholic’s is not being taught or learned of many things that the Catholic Church teaches on scriptures and traditions of the church,I can testify to this because I was unlearned not knowing much at all when I was a child and having said that this is what caused me to have been led away from the Catholic Church for over 30 plus years.And then one day it happened a most powerful thing spirit shot down into the top of my head and spread through out my whole body and I was completely changed and led back to the Catholic Church,now I have to say this and that is I really don’t know if it was Jesus or the Holy Spirit or Immaculate Mother Mary that had done that but I definitely can say that it brought me back to The One Holy Apostolic Catholic Christian Church of Traditional Teachings and Worship YEAH ALLELUIA AMEN DEO GRATIS HOSANNA IN EXCELSIS DEO GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO 🐑🕊️🔥✨
true. as a child, i was baptized catholic: always brought to mass and was taught how to pray the rosary. i soon started to become bored and become cradle catholic. it took 30 years of my life to become enthusiastic for the catholic faith. i realized that no one explained to me whats really happening either to mass or the rosary. but when you study it deeply and learn more, it will all makes sense. and you will know that catholic faith is the true church Jesus started.
Hi Bryan, Monique here from Australia. I went for the first time to a mass last Sunday. I met with a priest this week and he prayed with me for reconciliation with the Catholic church. This week i will start the RCIA course to learn about the Catholic faith as I never knew the Catholic faith when I was young. I am so happy to be back home. I am so grateful for your videos and other channels that I am watching every day. You helped me to come back home. Thank you so much for your teaching. Continue your great work. May God bless you and your family and protect you all. Your sister in Christ. 🤗🥰🙏
I was baptized Catholic as a child, but was raised outside the Church. God found me about 16 years ago. Through a very slow process, God has been pulling me closer and closer and I also had jumped from one protestant church to another... I will be confirmed next month :)
🙌🙌🙏🏻🙏🏻Praise God! So glad to hear it.
@@CatholicTruthOfficialHi. I am Catholic and want to ask you a question off UA-cam. Csn I contact you via your website? Thank you.
Welcome Home Michael.
Welcome back home! Decades ago ,our Company driver told me that he also left our faith and did church hopping in literally all Christian denom and non Christians too. He returned to our faith and never left again. Ive learned stories of former Catholics , who became anti Catholic Protestants , then request family members to receive final rites from Catholic Priest in their deathbed ,instead of their Prot Pastors.
I know at least 3 individuals.
Interesting that they were told the pope added books to the Bible, yet the original King James Version from 1611 and other Protestant versions of the Bible used to have those same "added" books.
So many lies. All from the father of lies.
Do you mean the Cathecism books being used more instead of the Bible.
They said the it was becuase the Bible back then were in Latin while the Cathecism books were in local languages.
Welcome home, brother! Glad to have you back! Now help others to come home!
Welcome home may God bless you and your family brother. 🙏🙌🌹🕊
In your Rosary petitions always mention for the revert of fallen away Catholics and conversion cradle Protestants.
Great suggestion. Thank you.
The Lord is so good! Welcome back Home brother. ❤
If you are looking to satisfy your emotions and what you get out of "worship," you are, in effect, worshiping yourself. It is a form of idolatry. Sadly, too many don't see or understand this. Thank God He is calling His people home.
I’m a revert, and this was so relatable!
Yay!!!
I’m glad many are waking up and learning truth.🙏
i always had this conclusion that smart and intelligent people will convert to Catholicism. once they became expert in Scriptures from other denominations.
How odd that the scriptures point to the Church. Curiously, Jesus did also. Hmmm.
Your soul has been lifted Michael D!!! Thank you for sharing your story. Weight has been lifted. Thank God for His mercy. Keep building yout trust in God and keep moving forward toward Him. Your faith has touched every part of your life. God has been expecting you to film this episode. Congratulations for speaking to us all!
Hello bro. I love your program so much praise God many are coming home to the catholic faith wacthing here in the philippines GOD BLESS YOU MORE
I’ll pray for your family. May God illumine their hearts and reveal to them the truth.Amen
Wonderful testimony, all roads do infact lead to Rome after all.
I so appreciate that I received the sacrament of the Eucharist when I was older. Grade 5 to be exact. I don't think I would have understood the essence of transubstantiation that takes place at every mass if i was any younger. I was totally overwhelmed on that day and shed tears of appreciation. Jesus truly present on the alter for me; for all of us, was explained to me with absolute faith and a deep love from Sr Emma(RIP) and this was felt in my very soul. Nothing could ever tear me away from this gift of the Eucharist. I just feel I was totally blest to have had two amazing and deeply faithful teachers in late Fr Abdo and Sr Emma.🙏🙌
Protestant preaching sounds to me to be more about attacking the Catholic Church then actually preaching about Jesus.
You won't hear these attacks in reverse in the Mass.
The Mass is all about the worship of our Lord.
A Protestant sermon should be centered on worship and minus the attacks.
It's not difficult to identify Satan at work when you hear these stories!
Thank God that this man found his way back to the Church! Now we need to pray for his family! 🙏
Catholic Church doesn’t preach about Jesus. It’s all about Mary & the Saints. They don’t teach of the Bible that’s why you don’t see any in a Catholic Church.
@@jeffhook7669 Says the ignorant who doesn't even know what's going on in the mass.
I bet you are a dishonest 'christian'
You will not answer this question directly: what sect or denomination you belong to?
@@jeffhook7669 The Bible is Catholic's Book. The Catholic Church *produced* the Bible. The foundation of the Bible is the Catholic Church. Go to Mass...it's all about Jesus and the words of God (the reading of the Gospel, the OT, the Psalm, etc).
@@For3nity I’ll just leave this here. I tried to find a simple way to show you that you are wrong. It’s ok, The RCC misleads a lot of people to keep them confused & away from Jesus so that he is not given a chance to carry their sins. So on top of proving where the Bible came from, who wrote it, ask yourself this. If you die where will you wake up? Did you let Jesus carry your sins? I’m a sinner, but I know Jesus takes on my sins. So that I may enter his kingdom and not be casted into the lake of fire and have him tell me he never knew me.

Hope you enjoy it!
Good morning ,glad to heard from you this morning Bryan,thqnk you alot for amazing vidio,GBU always Bryan 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤
What a lovely humble gentleman, who could not love this man. May the Lord bless you and keep you in his love.
Thank you for your kind words.
His story resonated with me… thank you for sharing!
I am a cradle Catholic as well and was away from the Church for a lot longer than this guy was but I'm back on track and here to stay. I agree that Masses many times has low attendance a shame at the best of times but we are not in the best of times. I am old enough to remember the Cuban missle crisis and Mass attendance and lines at the confessional was very high. The dangers are much higher now than it was then and there should be 24 hour vigils at our Churches right now to pray for mercy from which could come.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful story Michael! Never give up on your wife and kids, prayer and fasting for them is key.
Amen!
Thank you.
Great show. As always. Thank you!
He needs to start praying the rosary as a family!
It’s funny if not ironic that people are coming into and back to the Church in spite of our,shall we say, problematic leadership.
Perhaps because of it? Pope Francis is on the one hand clear on sin, whilst on the other clear on drawing sinners in to where they can be healed.
I'm putting it on my playlist.. thank you.
Thanks for listening
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Sure I try catching your videos brother, about Reformed [deformed] Protestantism thank you! ❤️🕊️
All you brothers are really motivating me to share my own story. It won't be on this account, but I'm certain if I do, hopefully the Lord use me as he has used you. It just really seems to me that our Lord is gathering His flock. Could it be that He's really coming back that soon? I hope so! Come Lord Jesus!
⭐ CATHOLICS! ALL FAIR MINDED SOULS! ⭐ Please consider reporting the malignant trolls who infest every Catholic video. They add nothing with insults and harassment and are a near occasion of sin for many of us. Then, lease pray for their troubled souls!
I argue with them. Must think hard about putting up my own appologetics channel.
@@BensWorkshop Prudence is required. I would advise interaction with them be tempered by the realizatioin that we can easily be casting pearls before swine. Research into sociopathy and psychopathy reveals that many trolls will not interact charitably, as they either lack, or have a poorly formed conscience. Many strongly desire to dominate and control the conversation. There is a profound level of psychology involved here.
Very few evidence any trace of Christian charity and manifest an absolute need for agreement. Lacking that,, they quickly devolve into inflammatory and blasphemous insults. UA-cam's almost complete lack of moderation is a magnet to internet psychopaths.
A high percentage have been banned from all reasonably moderated forums. For some reason, Christian identity appeals to their need to dominate conversation.
ScienceDirect and Psychology Today have informative articles on "internet psychopaths" - most of which are sadistic in both nature and temperament, seeking only to harass and torment others for personal pleasure.
"If" I interact with them. it is always with the purpose of correcting their obvious error for lurkers who are reading.
I report 100% of certain trolls' harassment,, as it is malignant, designed to inflame peaceful Christians. They derive great pleasure from that activity.
Maybe I missed it but this gentleman needs to have his first marriage annulled in order to receive the Eucharist. A lot of Catholics don't know that. I learned that the hard way.
I’m looking forward to seeing if Keith actually comes on he’s my favorite other than you.
We chatted. We are going to do a joint thing in the near future. :)
I’m looking forward to seeing what you and Keith will do together! I listen regularly to some UA-cam creators and You and Keith are on that list of regulars.
There is a protestant pastor - brazilian - living in USA, he convert to catholic. His name is Will de Oliveira (has a channel called Agnus dei. His testimony is so powerfull ashe despised Catholic Church so bad. Just an ideia for a interview
I returned recently after 20 years, but I don’t recognize the church anymore. Almost a hybrid of Protestant and Anglican. Very woke now. The reason I’m staying are because the teachings are true, but the teachers are lacking.
The church is the same as 20 years ago. We've been here for the same 20 years and it hasn't changed, that ive seen anyway. Except the last two popes were a lot more clear and authoritative in their teachings. I feel like the church has had issues for far more than 20 years, more like 50 or 60.
We agree that the teachers are lacking though, sadly.
To respond to a comment, please be aware and do not confuse : Jesus (the living stone rejected by the builders - 1 Peter 2.4-5) with the Apostle Peter, the stone on which the holy Church of JESUS CHRIST is built (Matthew 16.18) ! Yes, very truly the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven are in the hands of the Apostle Peter (Matthew 16.19)!
❤❤❤
👍🙏
In all honesty though, what happens to those “Christians” who aren’t following the Ten Commandments at all? The ones who say “yeah but Jesus knows my heart”, the ones who despise Mary? The ones who believe they are always saved? Honestly what happens to them? I haven’t got to that part in the catechism yet not sure if it’s in there but does anyone know what the church Father’s have pondered or theorised about this?
What should we do when a song that encourages sinful actions gets in our heads and we can't get it out?
Pray the rosary
Don't listen to that song that leads to sin. Listening to that kind of song is an occasion of sin. If you love the Lord God and don't want to offend Him, you will not only avoid sin but the occasions of sin as well.
Mortify your senses - your eyes/sight, your ears/hearing, your taste etc. I have been mortifying my senses. Mortifying our senses strengthens our spirit and spiritual life but giving in to carnal pleasures weakens our spirit and will to resist temptations.
@@marietav7342 How do you do that?
@@Kakaragi Mortification of senses is synonymous with detachment of heart or controlling your appetite for worldly pleasures. This is very hard to do and impossible to persevere in without the grace of God. But with God's grace, everything is possible of course.
2 things are needed to be able to accomplish it. First, determination. You are determined to mortify your senses. Second, you have to pray to God for His grace or strength to mortify your senses.
We catholics have full access to the abundant grace of God through the Sacraments of the Catholic Church and its sacramentals esp the Rosary.
Many catholics have testified that they have been healed and liberated from their sins and addictions through the Sacraments and sacramentals of the Church.
People think they can find a "true" church instead of finding a true Savior and true biblical faith. There is no perfect church, only a perfect Savior.
Gereja yg benar menentukan pengajaran yg benar tentang Juruselamat yg sejati.
I sort of talked about this in a previous comment, but are Catholics supposed to prioritize the well being of our planet or mankind? And are we worshiping Gaia when we think about our planet and its possible future?
There's nothing wrong with taking care of the planet and being good stewards of what God gave us, but obviously mankind is a priority always as we alone are made in the image and likeness of God.
The protestant church was given you "Christ and Him Crucified" as you righteousness. I fully agree with them. I wish you the best Michael, you seem like a seeker
The Catholic Church gave that for 1500 years before Protestants. Also there's no such thing as the Protestant church since they left the church.
You think fully agree with protestants, and yet Protestants can't even agree with each other so that comment doesn't make sense.
I agree with " Christ crucified as my righteousness" not a church or group.
Your argument is with the Apostle Paul, he preached Christ crucified as his righteousness
500 years ago, both Catholic and Orthodox - SEPARATELY - declared that "Protestantism" cannot be called a Christian Church, as they discarded crucial doctrines.
Im listening to you Michael, you seem to be looking for the right church, I have been there, I know what you are talking about. A group, a church, where is the answer? Seek God with all your heart, no matter what church you are in, and He will lead you. We keep hidden secrets 'SINS' that we desire, that keeps us from the truth that would set us free. Seek Him Michael
He already found it as he said in the video, and he couldn't find it in any of the Protestant churches. You haven't either because you haven't come home yet ;-) however, we know that you will someday. And we are praying for you.
Everyone doesn't worship the same. If you believe Jesus is the Savior & Repent to God thru Jesus if you sin & try to keep God's Commandments, You are a Christian. But the problem with Catholics is, They Don't Completely go by the Bible. Mark 7: 13 Making the word of God of none effect thru your tradition. The Catholic Church has made their traditions equal or above the word of God by Not going by the Bible. If you think bowing to statues and pretending a wafer is Jesus maybe that is the place for you. But you can eat all the wafers you want but it Will Not save you. Salvation comes thru Faith & Repentance & Doing God's will.{Keeping God's commandments}, It also is important to Pray & Read Your Bible. We are Saved by God's Grace.
Jesus Christ tells us that unless you eat His flesh and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Communion in the Catholic Church goes by the teachings of Jesus Christ where communion becomes His body and blood. Non-Catholic churches do not obey Christ concerning communion.
I spent 55 years in non-Catholic churches. It was my Bible (not Catholic) that converted me to Catholicism. The more I read my Bible the more Catholic I become
If you are truly saved by God's grace you will be living like so many Catholic Saints who are now in heaven because they lived such a holy life on earth.
@@For3nity The Catholics declared those people as saints, everyone must seek out their own salvation, the answers is in the Bible, you don’t have to be a monk or nun or priest to get to heaven. But we must accept Jesus as the savior that died for our sins and rose the third day, repent when we sin to God and try to keep God’s commandments. Pray and Read your Bible is important.
@darryldavis436 the bible is a catholic book
@@andreeattieh2963 It is the book of God’s word that the Catholic Church has tried to take credit for but don’t go by completely. Those words had already been established long before the man made Catholic Church had been established.
Where is your confirmation of your souls salvation all you have is a dead religious testimony .No one in heaven is rejoicing over your religion but souls translated from the powers of darkness into the kingdom of God .
The holy spirit is the confirmation of our souls salvation but it's not guaranteed and you can throw it away at anytime.
Also, it's not just our religion, it's the church that Jesus established, and scripture says the church is his body and his bride. Not to mention the church is the pillar and Foundation of Truth according to scripture.
@CatholicTruthOfficial the holy spirit is promised to all who receive God's gift of eternal life through the Savior Jesus christ .even your blessed mother received him on Pentecost .And who in there right spiritual mind will not receive or cast away the sprit .When the sprit empowered christ to do every work he did as a man in his ministry work .As well the same is required of all his followers which is why Pentecost took place .GOD preordained this before the foundation of the earth .And the one that leads and guides us into all truthfulness is the holy sprit of promise not religious institutions .Stop grieving the sprit by your Multitude of heretical doctrinal errors.
@CatholicTruthOfficial The Holy Spirit is to a “guarantee.”
In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory (Ephesians 1:13, 14 ).
The Holy Spirit makes us certain that God will give us what He promised. He guarantees that we will receive our inheritance.
He has also sealed us and given us the Spirit as a down payment in our hearts (2 Corinthians 1:22 )
And the One who prepared us for this very thing is God, who gave us the Spirit as a down payment (2 Corinthians 5:5 ).
The Holy Spirit is our down payment that more is to come.
@markwilson1724 In the so called early church those believer's had the holy sprit.. How many pope's were evident the sprit Indwelling was within them . If you know reply but I know you don't know but the sprit of God does know .
This guy here will never convert to Roman Catholicism/Catholicism. I studied too much of the authors intent of the scriptures. 😂
