Before I retired, our chaplain at work was Adventist. Perhaps surprisingly, we got along famously and prayed together. I do not and cannot claim to be anyone special, but he saw a passion for Christ that shocked him. I praise the Holy Spirit for finding weakness in me so that He could act.
This is very helpful for my family right now. We are in the process of leaving our nondenominational evangelical church and joining the Catholic Church, and I k ow we will hurt and anger people with our decision. This helps me know some approaches to take and things to say that may ease the transition. Thank you.
Welcome home. It's hard, I know, but you will experience a closeness with Christ like you never knew was possible. Stay strong. I came in from a calvinistic Presbyterian denomination and was raised very anti-Catholic. My entire family and friends are against me in this and think I have gone apostate or lost my mind for coming home to Christ's one true church. Don't forget for each one here you 'loose' in this, you gain 100's more in heaven to call on from the great cloud of witnesses. The saints have your back and so do we. Lean on the whole army of God for support.
Beautiful! Thank you for making this video. I work with a lot of evangelicals and a number who were reared Catholic. Your video is a good reminder as to how to engage them.
I have many Protestant friends all respectful I think I see the most push back from the born again movement people not sure why not so much my Lutheran or pryspateran friends
probably getting fed a lot of misinformation against the Church without the benefit of any historical perspective or philosophical reflection. Just a guess.
If your born-again, evangelical, nondenom friends are like mine, I know what the problem is: they're reading bad old books (or, more likely, listening to UA-camrs and reading bloggers who have read them). The Internet is reviving pseudoscience, pseudohistory, and conspiracy theorizing from the last three hundred years, and critical thinking and trust in intellectuals are so extinct that people will believe almost anything. Your friends are probably getting their info on Catholicism from "The Two Babylons," "Trail of Blood," and the like garbage.
Your channel is very useful. Please, if you could make a video eventually in the future on your thoughts on Eastern Orthodoxy I would really appreciate it... I'm an inquirer stuck between EO and RC. God bless you.
This is a "how will they go unless they be sent" matter. Same difference, how will they know unless they be told. The source and summit of the Faith is the Holy Eucharist; and it is written, "be not yoked with the unbeliever." To deny the Blessed Sacrament is to make a liar of Christ. For Jesus Christ to make a "this is" statement and "not have it be so" would make Him not omnipotent. In the end, if we love Christ Jesus and answer the call of His prayer, we can all be of one mind in the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church or we can all be of one mind in the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Those are the options and we are free to choose. Fancy we get one whole unknown length of a lifespan to figure it out. Thanks for the post!
You now have 2 videos on Transubstantiation. The latter one a revised one. How different is it? Also I must do more to reach out to our separated brethren.
Yeah that was a big goof up on my part. So the "revision" was exactly the same content as the "original" but I didn't like how frequently the slides were zooming and and out so I decided to edit that part. But then I realized it was not a good idea to have two videos up that were really exactly the same so after further review I unlisted the '"revised" one. Learning curve lol.
definitely true for most. the ones I'm engaged with tend to be very open and appreciative of "the great tradition" and classical theism so they have the background for taking a more honest look at the Church. But as Pascal said (paraphrased), we must often be struck by the beauty of the faith before we inquire into its truth. Thank you for watching!

I've done that since I was in my twenties. You're right on target
Same here. I've gotten to nab two of my now-best friends for the Catholic Church and am working slowly on several others
This is Jesus’ prayer. To bring everyone into one fold one Shepherd.
He did a video on the Our Father: ua-cam.com/video/wYn1vtR0HOc/v-deo.htmlsi=zdjv_PBNAM7jDn_T

Unfortunately you are probably correct about that. But welcome home and thank you for watching.

@@menoftheclothKTOG Thank you so very much for your encouraging words! It's so difficult, but your message is very strengthening.
@@midairfortress-revert Thank you so very much.
My family is in the same process! A lot of people and friends we have are going to say we have been trapped by the devil 😳

I'm really not qualified to say much about EO yet. Perhaps Michael Lofton would be a good source for that. God bless you as you seek Him out!
@@midairfortress-revert Do you have eternal life?

Many thanks. I will not watch it then!
I doubt though they’ll read the catechism - “it’s not the Bible.”
They have been warned against evil influences outside of scripture.

Sola Scriptura is not in the Bible.
