Truly honored by this opportunity to be able to share my story on your show, Eddie. Thanks be to God for the mission that you’re doing. Let’s keep praying for the fruits of our apostolates. God bless, brother!
Hello po! This is an awesome conversation. I consider myself as a revert too but I am still on the process. God has slowly revealed to me the answers to questions I had for long time.🙏🏽
Not to be chosen to be Catholics yes but Jesus chose us Filipinos to be Catholics. It is a blessing to be automatically born to be a Catholic which we do not treasure. Too sad we Filipinos do not realize this.
I love this testimony, and I love this man I lived on Guam for a few years and I hope it’s not wrong to say there’s just something really special about people from the Philippines true for everybody, but I just have a special place in my heart…
God bless you guys, welcome home brother Burns. Thank you brother Eddie. I became strong in my Catholic faith becoming a catechist since 1983, but going into catechetical service in 1995. It took me 12years training. God bless everyone!
I have not yet watched the video but having him say he was Filipino ... I was like 👀 Born and raised in NJ, I grew up with an AMAZING Filipino and Hispanic Catholic community. Their faith and traditions runs DEEP 🙌🏼🙏🏼 ••• PHENOMENAL guest Mr. Trask!
This is the most conversion story that i can relate but far. I know many Catholics were evangelized and baptized in the faith then only grow to be protestants(denomination church). It happened in my surroundings( family and friends) in Indonesia. Even going abroad, same pattern. We need to learn more about the faith ( bible and tradition) so we cannot be easily swayed to deny the eucharist in Jesus’s apostolic church, and in necessary time we can confidently share the knowledge of faith ❤🙏🏼
I'm listening from Amman Jordan.. I enjoyed and learned a lot from your sharing of your faith journey. I'm encouraged to continue praying for my brothers and sisters to find the right path, which is the Catholic Church. God bless you both.
You story could be so typical to most of us Filipinos.we are born Catholicbut we must learn our religion through this videos. Let's be careful.Just hold on to our cathoicism.l
I graduated grade school, 1973 and high school, 1977 at Marist School. A Marian school. Mary held on to me which made me firm and solid strong in my faith journey. Protestants love to make their own version of Christianity. They resort to their own convenience and get their beliefs which are totally against the apostolic version of faith. I just pray that someday they all come back.
I'm happy I found this channel. I watched only two I think, this is my third. I was just wondering whether there are only Americans telling their stories, and voila, here's one from abroad. I'm Polish, I'm a revert myself, for lack of a better word. I though of my journey more like a conversion, because like your guest here, I was just nominal when I left the church. God bless you and keep them coming!
@@CatholicReCon Well, I have a written one on my blog, if you're interested I'd link it up. And if you think sb might want to listen to it, I'll be happy to share my story.
@@CatholicReCon Can you please tell me if you normally respond to messages from yr website - like when I sent the links and volunteered to share my story? All I got in response was "thank you for subscribtion" which I didn't know I did, but that's fine. :) I just want to know if you got the message. After all you might have a busy stories schedule ane may not be able to fit me in, and I get that. Just plese confirm. Anna from Poland.
Thank you for this episode Eddie, I heard Berns before sharing his conversion story but he gives more details in this episode. He also shares so many moving stories about his requests from Our Lady.
I attend Mass at a predominantly Filipino parish. The Filipinos have a great love of 'Mama Mary' and have brought their faith and many of their devotions/traditions wherever they go. There is a need for better catechesis however (the same could be said of many other cultural Catholics). It's great to see someone like Bernz providing this. Greetings from Melbourne, Australia. God bless you Eddie.
Love your spirit! Thank you for this video! Filipina living in US so happy to see my brethren on fire for Catholicism, without bearing preachy of course! Salamat! 🙏
Greetings from Singapore. Thanks to you both gentlemen for this sincere , frank , humble inspiring and enriching sharing . May Our Lord Jesus and His Blessed Mother , Bless You Both and Your Families. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤❤
... have Faith in HIM... Our Savior and Redeemer JESUS CHRIST..thru HIS Grace, Mercy, Love and never ending Power, Our Being, Soul and Spirit has been Saved Forever.. MOTHER MARY Please Guide and Pray for Us and the Whole World...Amen🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️💟💟💟✝️✝️✝️🇵🇭
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful testimony. Welcome home brother. you are in the right church the only church the Jesus stablish. HOME SWEET HOME.
As a Filipino cradle Catholic, I can totally relate to the first part of your story. My mum is a devout Catholic. She knows the doctrines of the Church, she reads the Bible, she goes to Mass, the Rosary, she is a Catholic intellectually and in practice but she did not know how to explain the faith and we have volatile relationship in the family. I never dared to join other denominations although I was not cathecised but i became a lukewarm Catholic and did not understand my faith. The youtube video of Steve Ray brought me back to the faith. Now I am hungry for knowledge and scriptures. Its been two years since that youtube video that I watched. Still i journey but I found peace and purpose in my life to serve God. ❤
Listening to your stories of conversation gave chills and joys in being a catholic and an inspiration to study and learn more of the one holy apostolic church.
San Francisco native here. I traveled to and from The Philippines 🇵🇭 for 26+ years. I am not a revert. I am more of an explorer.: I explored Buddhism ☸, Confucianism, various philosophies and world religions.. i came close to leaving Catholicism but got more insights after exploring Judaism ✡ and Protestantiam. I saw similar dilemmas with Latinos as well as with Filipinos.
I have to mention this and that is that it doesn’t matter how much scriptures a person can quote or explain why because it won’t stop them from sinning,also it doesn’t matter if a person speaks truth or is honest that person is still prone to fall into sins,now what I’ve just mentioned is enormous mega Hugh to come to an understanding of what I’ve said. I just hope that countless Catholics can find books on the spiritual battle between GOD AND LUCIFER FOR ITS MYSTERIOUS AND IMMENSE ENORMOUS AND NOT KNOWN TO MOST HUMANS,if I offend anyone I have to say it’s really not my intention but if anyone is offended I completely understand because it’s really an hidden issue with humans and very difficult to understand
I am a catholic since my birth up until now in my 80’s. I’ve read Scott Hans “Rome Sweet Home” many years ago. A testimonial sharing from a Protestant professor. Read the book for those who have different denomination. Just saying.
Thank you Bernz-wonderful testimony. Jesus founded only one Church making Peter the first Pope. Built on a Rock. All the other churches (denominations) though well meaning and good people are splinters of the one Church Jesus founded. His earnest prayer was "that All may be one, one Flock, one Shepherd.
Everyone who died is alive in the afterlife bro, alive in Heaven, alive in Purgatory awaiting entering Heaven. And sadly also ALIVE IN HELL SUFFERING ETERNAL FIRE
This is what I say to the protestants that I talk to. Deuteronomy 6 6These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on Doesn't this justify the Rosary we say everyday. What the protestants call idols are actually symbols that we made.
Protestants want Jesua but hate His mother. Weird! Definitely against the 4th commandment. And Burns they have 11 commandnents not 10 because they have Exodus numbering wrong. The commandments in Deuteronomy is clearer.
I believed in the Philippines, majority of us if not all are Catholics, the true church. Unfortunately, many of them were not deep-rooted about their faith. Hence they were easily swayed and leave the faith. They called themselves born-again Christian. Most of us are not bible-readers and are not well-versed on sacred scriptures and traditions. Neither familiar with the CCC. Most of us are quite lukewarm on our faith. I was born and raised catholic. I followed and believed what was taught on me. Though i am not that well-versed about the bible, i held on to my faith. I don't need to change my faith but rather i should study and learn more about it. Some say when they become born-again, they learned about the bible. The reason there is that that's how they work and worship You are forced to learn this. Unlike in Catholic, while it is available e.g. bible - study or anything about our faith, it is your choice. Catholics formation and information has a great impact on ones faith.
Constantine did not “invent” the Mass. Rather the Mass evolved into what we practice now. From the beginning, the “Breaking of Bread”, Reading of the Psalms, Reading of the Old Testament and The NOW letters of the Apostles, were read in these small community “gatherings”. It was done underground in peoples houses. Once Constantine became Christian, he decreed that Christians should and need their own “Temple”.
Many will come in God's name, and lead people astray. Protestantism could be one of them. It is weird to deny the sacrament of the Eucharist and Confession by most protestants. They thought faith alone is enough, we need to work on it in action and receive God's sanctifying grace.
Questions that need answering: 1) Why the Rosary? It’s non-biblical and based on other non-biblical like praying to Mary 2) Hail Mary prayer is not theologically sounds. Against biblical scriptures like - Do not consult the dead. Those who do are cursed. 3) Pope is infallable. Unbiblical as the Pope is also a man that can make mistakes and sin. 4) The Sunday Mass’s “Hostia” is actually the body of Christ. 5) Sculptures that people kneel in front to and pray to 6) Baptism of babies. 7) Every Priest (and Nuns) must be unmarried and single for the rest of their lives. Although it has a biblical basis but it was not mandatory. So, why is the Catholic priesthood different from the Greek Orthodox Priesthood where priests are married men. 8) Martin Luther’s thesis posted on that Cathedral doors. 9) Purgatory 10) Historical events that the Catholic Church (make the world “Christianity by the sword” policy) did to the various people around the world. E.g. Indians in South America, natives of the Philippines, Portuguese in Japan, Catholics in Mexico 11) Crusaders - Killing Jews in Jerusalem by exterminating everyone in Israel. How could that be led by the Lord? 12) Many more…
Oh man, you still don't get it did you watch the whole interview???? WHAT don't you understand about the ""book of lesson""" read it one thousand times untill you stubbornly open your own human understanding of the """book of lesson"" that is called the bible...Let me advice this time you need to read it like a detective trying to solve a crime case word for word... to help you out for starters YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT??? AND WHO IS THE WATER OF LIFE???? After John says the one after me shall fulfill God's Destiny in a sense that is preceeding of his Glory... ok maybe that is confusing to explain...Jesus baptized in the middle of the """desert """ where water can never be found river is hundreds of miles away there were no bath tub for Jesus to carry around to baptized each town or city then Jesus commanded his disciples to do the same, if you still don't get it here's some more, ask this QUESTION WHAT DOES GOD means when he created all things """SEEN AND UNSEEN""" VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE """??? ARE THE ANGELS VISIBLE??? OR SPIRITUAL OR BOTH??? SECOND THING YOU NEED TO FULLY UNDERSTAND IS WHAT DOES JESUS MEANT WHEN HE COMES BACK TO """JUDGE BOTH THE LIVING AND THE DEAD """" WHAT DOES THIS MEANT??? AND WHY THERE'S A LIVING AND THE DEAD??? THIRD QUESTION IS HUMAN DEATH THE END OF YOUR EXISTENCE??? DO YOU CEASED TO EXIST WHEN YOU DIE????? OR ARE YOU DELETED OF EXISTENCE????? IF THAT IS YOUR MISUNDERSTANDING THEN ASK WHO??? WHAT???? GOES TO HEAVEN THAT WE CAN NOT SEE """UNSEEN""" INVISIBLE """" IN OUR NAKED EYE. WHY IS THERE HEAVEN IN THE FIRST PLACE???? WHO AND WHAT GOES THERE IS IT OUR MIND THAT GOES THERE???? IS IT OUR IMAGINATION GOES TO HEAVEN OR DOES OUR HUMAN BODY HAS SPIRITUAL SOUL????? WHY WAS THERE A HUMAN VESSEL THAT THE BOOK OF LESSONS SAY WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN HUMAN VESSEL IS NOT FOR SEXUAL LUSTING??? ASK YOURSELF HOW DOES ONE SEXUALIZED THINGS IF ITS NOT OF HUMAN MASS OF PHYSICALITY BUT WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO (NOT USE YOUR HUMAN VESSEL) FOR SEXUAL LUSTING, WHY IS IT A VESSEL??? IS IT CARRYING SOMETHING OF SUPERNATURAL PHENOMENA CALLED SPIRIT SOUL, DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVING A """"HOLY SPIRIT """" WHAT IS HOLY SPIRIT IS IT VISIBLE OR INVISIBLE SPIRIT???? THIS VERY WORDS FOR SOME REASON YOU AS A BAPTIST CALVIN'S LUTHERANS HUMAN UNDERSTANDING IS SOOO IMPORTANT AND IRONIC AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE BOTH TEACHERS COULD NOT, WAS NOT ABLE TO FATHOM AND COMPREHEND TO UNDERSTAND WAS THE VERY REASON THEY PARTED FROM CATHOLIC SCHOOL TEACHINGS THEY BOTH DID NOT BELIEVE IT EXIST AS THEY BOTH HUMAN INCAPABLE OF COMPREHENDING ""SPIRITUAL REALM""" THEY ABSOLUTELY SABOTAGE THEIR OWN UNDERSTANDING OF WHY THERE'S A ""HOLY SPIRIT"" AND TURNED THE BOOK OF LESSONS INTO METAPHORICAL PHILOSOPHICAL AND PLAIN ALLEGORICAL CHILDREN STORIES SO THEY BELIEVE BUT YET DO NOT ACCEPT TO BELIEVE IN SPIRITUAL EXISTENCE BUT THE VERY REASON THERE'S GOD IN THE FIRST PLACE IS HIS SUPERNATURAL PHENOMENA OF SPIRITUAL EXISTENCE ITS WHAT OMNIPOTENT OMNISCIENT BEING TRIUNE BUT ONE YET HOW CAN THAT BE LUTHER AND CALVIN WAS SO CONFUSED THEY WERE UNABLE TO FATHOM THE THOUGHT THE IDEA OF GOD'S PRESENCE IS SOMETHING OF SUPERNATURAL BEING SO THEREFORE YOU BELIEVE BUT YET YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IT. AND I COME FROM BELIEVING SCIENTIFIC LABORATORY RESEARCH MICROSCOPIC OBSERVATIONS AND DOCUMENTATION OF WHICH NONE ARE GOD RELATED IF YOU CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LESSON JUST LEAVE IT ALONE AND GIVE PRAISE TO GOD THE FATHER ALMIGHTY ""CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH"" THEREFORE ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE AND GOD THE SON JESUS CHRIST AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT ARE OMNIPOTENT OMNISCIENT THAT EXIST OF WHICH THE CATHOLIC BLINDLY BELIEVE IN THEIR FAITH AS THEY GIVE PRAISE GLORIFY """CREDO IN DEUM"""... AND IF AFTER READING THE BOOK OF LESSON THOUSAND TIMES YOU STILL DON'T GET IT HERE I WILL LET YOU IN A LITTLE SECRET WHEN YOU DIE IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU CEASED TO EXIST ANYMORE, OR DELETED from EXISTENCE MEANS YOUR HUMAN PHYSICAL BODY DIED HOWEVER YOU PERISHED AWAY MURDERED, DECAPITATED ON ACCIDENTS OR DIED IN SOME DEADLY CANCEROUS DISEASES, OR NATURAL AGE YOU CONTINUE TO EXIST TRANSITION TO SPIRITUAL REALM OF COURSE YOU DO NOT KNOW THIS BECAUse THIS kind of stuff YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED LIFE AND DEATH LIKE OTHER PEOPLE DO. THEREFORE, YOU BELIEVE BUT YET YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO BELIEVE IN THE VERY BOOK YOU ARE READING. You see when Jesus commanded his disciples apostles to go and spread his words it is """infinite"" it does not stop why because he is the life that breathe into the clay that turns into bird you do not ceased to exist unless you joined lucifers army in which you battle against the Angels "you will not win" if the Angels smite you with their blazing sword you will die deleted in existence once and for all there will be no turning back yes your spirit will leave but they also suffer consequences if you die human body it's OK but if you die in spiritual realm on the otherside you will 1000million percent ceased into nothingness """MARK MY WORD""".... IF YOU STILL DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD CREATING BOTH LIVING ""SEEN AND UNSEEN VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE """ THEN I PRAY THAT ONE DAY YOU WILL JUST KNOW THIS YOU HAVE BEEN INFORMED TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOU DO NOT BELIEVE TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THERE'S A WAR BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL THAT EXIST ALL AROUND US EVERYDAY IN OUR LIFE YOU CAN NOT BEGIN TO COMPREHEND EXCEPT IN THE HORROR MOVIES BECAUSE YOU HAVE A LIMITED VIEW OF GODS SUPERNATURAL PHENOMENA AND HIS REBELLIOUS ADVERSARY WHO PRESENTLY PREFER TO BE CALLED HIMSELF "satan" note underscore to give no respect to his existence as his new age name from previous lucifer and that was thousands of years in our human lifetime. YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN ANY OF THIS CRAP THAT IS WHY YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE VERY BOOK YOU ARE READING BECAUSE YOU ARE LIMITED BY YOUR OWN HUMAN UNDERSTANDING WHICH IS NORMALLY ACCEPTED YOU SEE GOD TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU BUT AS STUBBORN AS YOU ARE AND CALVINISTIC LUTHERAN POINT OF VIEW YOU LIMIT YOUR OWN BELIEFS WHICH IS OK TO BE HONEST BECAUSE ONCE YOU ACCEPTED JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR AND FOLLOWED HIS TEACHINGS OF GOD'S LOVE COMPASSION AND FORGIVENESS YOU ALREADY SECURED YOUR SPOT IN HEAVEN BUT AS THE EXAMPLE OF CAIN AND ABEL OF WHICH GOD THE FATHER YAHWEH HAD LOVED BUT ONE HAS GREATER GIFT THEN THE OTHER PUT A SMILE ON GODS FACE BY SIMPLE GESTURES SUCH AS THE SIGN OF THE CROSS KNEEL BEFORE GOD, BELIEVE IN God's TRANSsubstantiation of power AS JESUS DEMONSTRATED EXAMPLE OF GOD TRANSITION INTO SON OF GOD JESUS INTO HUMAN JUST AS HE YAHWEH TURNS INTO BURNING TREE BECAUSE HE IS GOD IN HIM HIS GLORY AS THE ANGELS REVEAL THREE FINGERS RIGHT HAND LEFT HAND PALM UP AS THEY SING HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST, HOLY HOLY HOLY GOD IS ALMIGHTY HEAVEN AND EARTH IS FULL OF HIS GLORY BUT OF COURSE YOU DON'T KNOW IT BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT DEMONSTRATED BY THE ANGELS EXCEPT THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN IT AS I CALL MYSELF JESUS PHYSICAL EYE WITNESS THIS DAYS. AND ONLY THOSE WHO ARE GIFTED WITH THIRD EYE CAN TELL YOU THE SAME. IF YOU STILL STUBBORNLY REFUTE IT AS I EXPECTED DO YOU EVEN KNOW JESUS REVEALED GODS NAME EXIST IN EVERY LETTER OF THE ALPHABET AND VOWEL SOUND YOU MAKE OH I'M SORRY YOU DID NOT MET JESUS YET. YOU JUST HAVE TO WAIT UNTILL YOU DO CAUSE I AM NOT AT LIBERTY TO SAY HIS NAMES FOR YOU HUMAN OPERATES AND FUNCTION WITH YOUR EMOTIONS AND HAVE A TENDENCY TO MAKE A MOCKERY OF HIS NAME BECAUSE IT SOMETIMES SOUND FUNNY. BUT UNTILL YOU DO TRY AND CELEBRATE WITH THE CATHOLIC PEOPLE IN BROTHERHOOD OF CHRIST JESUS LEAVE THEM ALONE LET THEM GIVE SIMPLE GESTURES OF THE SIGN OF THE CROSS , LET THEM LIGHT UP AS MANY CANDLES AS THEY WANT, LET THEM KNEEL EVERY DAY IF THEY WANT TO, LET THEM ASK MOTHER MARRY TO HELP THEM FOR ANY ASSISTANCE AS JESUS COMMANDED HER TO AND THE HEAVENLY ANGELS AND SAINTS AND APOSTLES DO GODS DEED FOR HE EXTENDS HIS GLORY TO EVERYTHING THAT BELIEVETH IN HIS GLORY IF YOU SAY GOD LIVES IN YOUR CLOSET YES HE DOES, IF YOU SEE GOD LIVES IN A STATUE YES HE DOES HE IS EVERYWHERE YOU SEE TOUCH AND FEEL, AND LISTEN TO. SO JUST BE BLESSED LEAVE THEM CATHOLIC PEOPLE ALONE THEY KNOW SOMETHING YOU DON'T.
Jesus Christ was neither a Catholic nor a Protestant. He was an Israelite who prayed to One God, not Trinity. He also worshiped in a synagogue, not church. WAKE UP❗
Truly honored by this opportunity to be able to share my story on your show, Eddie. Thanks be to God for the mission that you’re doing. Let’s keep praying for the fruits of our apostolates. God bless, brother!
My pleasure, Bernz! I look forward to connecting again soon. God bless you.

Not to be chosen to be Catholics yes but Jesus chose us Filipinos to be Catholics. It is a blessing to be automatically born to be a Catholic which we do not treasure. Too sad we Filipinos do not realize this.
Woahhh..this is one of the idea that also been in my mind from Saint Paul to evangelize the Spain to the Philippines❤
@@thewhiteeyeinsider our catechesis came from St. James who according to tradition went to Spain.
The Catholic Faith is the most complete faith. I love the Catholic Faith.
"Outstanding Catholics" are a thing here as well! Especially men have historically done that. Greetings from Slovakia, Central Europe.
I love this testimony, and I love this man I lived on Guam for a few years and I hope it’s not wrong to say there’s just something really special about people from the Philippines true for everybody, but I just have a special place in my heart…
I am proud to be Catholics. We have traditions and the bible. We have the fullness of the faith.
Wishing you all success bring millions to the truth of Christ church
God bless you guys, welcome home brother Burns. Thank you brother Eddie. I became strong in my Catholic faith becoming a catechist since 1983, but going into catechetical service in 1995. It took me 12years training. God bless everyone!

Thank you for the wonderful testimony. Really enjoyed listening to Bernz.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have not yet watched the video but having him say he was Filipino ... I was like 👀
Born and raised in NJ, I grew up with an AMAZING Filipino and Hispanic Catholic community. Their faith and traditions runs DEEP 🙌🏼🙏🏼

Thanks for sharing, Beth!
Thanks, Beth!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful testimony!

Amazing!
John Henry Cardinal Newman once said, "To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant."

Worse, when catholics become protestants, are bitter and attack Catholic Church like satanic minions.
I'm a Filipino American Catholic(baptized, first communion, CCD).
Thank you for sharing. 🤗😎 Glad to have you back Home.

Kabayan, you are an outstanding seeker of the kingdom. Your witnessing inspires many of us. We can relate with your story. Thank you for sharing.
So nice
So enlightening
So powerful testimony
Thanks for sharing this video
Join the Legion of Mary and go door to door to evangelise and if there isn't one in your parish start one.
Very inspiring! I never get tired of hearing testimonies like these.

We never worship saints and statues. We respect who they represent, that's it.
How many times we must explain that Catholics do not worship Mary or saints. You are like a broken record.
Yoooo, Jo Koy is your cousin!?!? That's amazing. Shoutout to all my other fellow Pinoys.

Great video and testimony! I wish everyone was as intelligent as Bernz O. Caasi !! :)

A great story of Christian faith ever❤
People say St Francis never said that quote but somebody must have said because it is so true.

Lack of catechesis was the culprit.
Catholics do not have cohesive fellowship after baptism. So sad
Praise the Lord...Amen!!!
Beautiful... powerful too...

Well said bro bernz.God bless❤
Great story! Continue to propagate the Catholic faith ❤
Excellent
Really loved this ❤️🔥🙏thank you( Japanese bow)
It seems around the world since the 1960s poor catechesis was a norm.
Cool

How about reading Martin Luther's book. After reading that, you will leave Protestantism the next day.
Which of the book exactly. I am interested in reading it.
@@piusochigbochristian1079 He’s written several but I couldn’t remember exactly which one I was referring to. It’s been a while.
Everyone who died is alive in the afterlife bro, alive in Heaven, alive in Purgatory awaiting entering Heaven. And sadly also ALIVE IN HELL SUFFERING ETERNAL FIRE
Can someone please link the full podcast this is from ? Thanks and God bless
No religion established by man can save one soul. Only thru faith with Jesus Christ and good deed commanded by Jesus.
This is what I say to the protestants that I talk to.
Deuteronomy 6
6These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on
Doesn't this justify the Rosary we say everyday. What the protestants call idols are actually symbols that we made.
Be glad philippines is blessed being a catholic nation

It is weird to deny the sacrament of the Eucharist and Confession by most protestants. They thought faith alone is enough, we need to work on it in action and receive God's sanctifying grace.
There is no way for me to be a Catholic again
Questions that need answering:
1) Why the Rosary? It’s non-biblical and based on other non-biblical like praying to Mary
2) Hail Mary prayer is not theologically sounds. Against biblical scriptures like - Do not consult the dead. Those who do are cursed.
3) Pope is infallable. Unbiblical as the Pope is also a man that can make mistakes and sin.
4) The Sunday Mass’s “Hostia” is actually the body of Christ.
5) Sculptures that people kneel in front to and pray to
6) Baptism of babies.
7) Every Priest (and Nuns) must be unmarried and single for the rest of their lives. Although it has a biblical basis but it was not mandatory. So, why is the Catholic priesthood different from the Greek Orthodox Priesthood where priests are married men.
8) Martin Luther’s thesis posted on that Cathedral doors.
9) Purgatory
10) Historical events that the Catholic Church (make the world “Christianity by the sword” policy) did to the various people around the world. E.g. Indians in South America, natives of the Philippines, Portuguese in Japan, Catholics in Mexico
11) Crusaders - Killing Jews in Jerusalem by exterminating everyone in Israel. How could that be led by the Lord?
12) Many more…
Hail Mary prayer is quoting the Bible and asking prayers of Mary too. Investigate the facts before you make false accusations
Oh man, you still don't get it did you watch the whole interview???? WHAT don't you understand about the ""book of lesson""" read it one thousand times untill you stubbornly open your own human understanding of the """book of lesson"" that is called the bible...Let me advice this time you need to read it like a detective trying to solve a crime case word for word... to help you out for starters YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT??? AND WHO IS THE WATER OF LIFE???? After John says the one after me shall fulfill God's Destiny in a sense that is preceeding of his Glory... ok maybe that is confusing to explain...Jesus baptized in the middle of the """desert """ where water can never be found river is hundreds of miles away there were no bath tub for Jesus to carry around to baptized each town or city then Jesus commanded his disciples to do the same, if you still don't get it here's some more, ask this QUESTION WHAT DOES GOD means when he created all things """SEEN AND UNSEEN""" VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE """??? ARE THE ANGELS VISIBLE??? OR SPIRITUAL OR BOTH??? SECOND THING YOU NEED TO FULLY UNDERSTAND IS WHAT DOES JESUS MEANT WHEN HE COMES BACK TO """JUDGE BOTH THE LIVING AND THE DEAD """" WHAT DOES THIS MEANT??? AND WHY THERE'S A LIVING AND THE DEAD??? THIRD QUESTION IS HUMAN DEATH THE END OF YOUR EXISTENCE??? DO YOU CEASED TO EXIST WHEN YOU DIE????? OR ARE YOU DELETED OF EXISTENCE????? IF THAT IS YOUR MISUNDERSTANDING THEN ASK WHO??? WHAT???? GOES TO HEAVEN THAT WE CAN NOT SEE """UNSEEN""" INVISIBLE """" IN OUR NAKED EYE. WHY IS THERE HEAVEN IN THE FIRST PLACE???? WHO AND WHAT GOES THERE IS IT OUR MIND THAT GOES THERE???? IS IT OUR IMAGINATION GOES TO HEAVEN OR DOES OUR HUMAN BODY HAS SPIRITUAL SOUL????? WHY WAS THERE A HUMAN VESSEL THAT THE BOOK OF LESSONS SAY WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN HUMAN VESSEL IS NOT FOR SEXUAL LUSTING??? ASK YOURSELF HOW DOES ONE SEXUALIZED THINGS IF ITS NOT OF HUMAN MASS OF PHYSICALITY BUT WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO (NOT USE YOUR HUMAN VESSEL) FOR SEXUAL LUSTING, WHY IS IT A VESSEL??? IS IT CARRYING SOMETHING OF SUPERNATURAL PHENOMENA CALLED SPIRIT SOUL, DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVING A """"HOLY SPIRIT """" WHAT IS HOLY SPIRIT IS IT VISIBLE OR INVISIBLE SPIRIT???? THIS VERY WORDS FOR SOME REASON YOU AS A BAPTIST CALVIN'S LUTHERANS HUMAN UNDERSTANDING IS SOOO IMPORTANT AND IRONIC AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE BOTH TEACHERS COULD NOT, WAS NOT ABLE TO FATHOM AND COMPREHEND TO UNDERSTAND WAS THE VERY REASON THEY PARTED FROM CATHOLIC SCHOOL TEACHINGS THEY BOTH DID NOT BELIEVE IT EXIST AS THEY BOTH HUMAN INCAPABLE OF COMPREHENDING ""SPIRITUAL REALM""" THEY ABSOLUTELY SABOTAGE THEIR OWN UNDERSTANDING OF WHY THERE'S A ""HOLY SPIRIT"" AND TURNED THE BOOK OF LESSONS INTO METAPHORICAL PHILOSOPHICAL AND PLAIN ALLEGORICAL CHILDREN STORIES SO THEY BELIEVE BUT YET DO NOT ACCEPT TO BELIEVE IN SPIRITUAL EXISTENCE BUT THE VERY REASON THERE'S GOD IN THE FIRST PLACE IS HIS SUPERNATURAL PHENOMENA OF SPIRITUAL EXISTENCE ITS WHAT OMNIPOTENT OMNISCIENT BEING TRIUNE BUT ONE YET HOW CAN THAT BE LUTHER AND CALVIN WAS SO CONFUSED THEY WERE UNABLE TO FATHOM THE THOUGHT THE IDEA OF GOD'S PRESENCE IS SOMETHING OF SUPERNATURAL BEING SO THEREFORE YOU BELIEVE BUT YET YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IT. AND I COME FROM BELIEVING SCIENTIFIC LABORATORY RESEARCH MICROSCOPIC OBSERVATIONS AND DOCUMENTATION OF WHICH NONE ARE GOD RELATED IF YOU CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LESSON JUST LEAVE IT ALONE AND GIVE PRAISE TO GOD THE FATHER ALMIGHTY ""CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH"" THEREFORE ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE AND GOD THE SON JESUS CHRIST AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT ARE OMNIPOTENT OMNISCIENT THAT EXIST OF WHICH THE CATHOLIC BLINDLY BELIEVE IN THEIR FAITH AS THEY GIVE PRAISE GLORIFY """CREDO IN DEUM"""... AND IF AFTER READING THE BOOK OF LESSON THOUSAND TIMES YOU STILL DON'T GET IT HERE I WILL LET YOU IN A LITTLE SECRET WHEN YOU DIE IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU CEASED TO EXIST ANYMORE, OR DELETED from EXISTENCE MEANS YOUR HUMAN PHYSICAL BODY DIED HOWEVER YOU PERISHED AWAY MURDERED, DECAPITATED ON ACCIDENTS OR DIED IN SOME DEADLY CANCEROUS DISEASES, OR NATURAL AGE YOU CONTINUE TO EXIST TRANSITION TO SPIRITUAL REALM OF COURSE YOU DO NOT KNOW THIS BECAUse THIS kind of stuff YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED LIFE AND DEATH LIKE OTHER PEOPLE DO. THEREFORE, YOU BELIEVE BUT YET YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO BELIEVE IN THE VERY BOOK YOU ARE READING. You see when Jesus commanded his disciples apostles to go and spread his words it is """infinite"" it does not stop why because he is the life that breathe into the clay that turns into bird you do not ceased to exist unless you joined lucifers army in which you battle against the Angels "you will not win" if the Angels smite you with their blazing sword you will die deleted in existence once and for all there will be no turning back yes your spirit will leave but they also suffer consequences if you die human body it's OK but if you die in spiritual realm on the otherside you will 1000million percent ceased into nothingness """MARK MY WORD""".... IF YOU STILL DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD CREATING BOTH LIVING ""SEEN AND UNSEEN VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE """ THEN I PRAY THAT ONE DAY YOU WILL JUST KNOW THIS YOU HAVE BEEN INFORMED TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOU DO NOT BELIEVE TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THERE'S A WAR BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL THAT EXIST ALL AROUND US EVERYDAY IN OUR LIFE YOU CAN NOT BEGIN TO COMPREHEND EXCEPT IN THE HORROR MOVIES BECAUSE YOU HAVE A LIMITED VIEW OF GODS SUPERNATURAL PHENOMENA AND HIS REBELLIOUS ADVERSARY WHO PRESENTLY PREFER TO BE CALLED HIMSELF "satan" note underscore to give no respect to his existence as his new age name from previous lucifer and that was thousands of years in our human lifetime. YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN ANY OF THIS CRAP THAT IS WHY YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE VERY BOOK YOU ARE READING BECAUSE YOU ARE LIMITED BY YOUR OWN HUMAN UNDERSTANDING WHICH IS NORMALLY ACCEPTED YOU SEE GOD TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU BUT AS STUBBORN AS YOU ARE AND CALVINISTIC LUTHERAN POINT OF VIEW YOU LIMIT YOUR OWN BELIEFS WHICH IS OK TO BE HONEST BECAUSE ONCE YOU ACCEPTED JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR AND FOLLOWED HIS TEACHINGS OF GOD'S LOVE COMPASSION AND FORGIVENESS YOU ALREADY SECURED YOUR SPOT IN HEAVEN BUT AS THE EXAMPLE OF CAIN AND ABEL OF WHICH GOD THE FATHER YAHWEH HAD LOVED BUT ONE HAS GREATER GIFT THEN THE OTHER PUT A SMILE ON GODS FACE BY SIMPLE GESTURES SUCH AS THE SIGN OF THE CROSS KNEEL BEFORE GOD, BELIEVE IN God's TRANSsubstantiation of power AS JESUS DEMONSTRATED EXAMPLE OF GOD TRANSITION INTO SON OF GOD JESUS INTO HUMAN JUST AS HE YAHWEH TURNS INTO BURNING TREE BECAUSE HE IS GOD IN HIM HIS GLORY AS THE ANGELS REVEAL THREE FINGERS RIGHT HAND LEFT HAND PALM UP AS THEY SING HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST, HOLY HOLY HOLY GOD IS ALMIGHTY HEAVEN AND EARTH IS FULL OF HIS GLORY BUT OF COURSE YOU DON'T KNOW IT BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT DEMONSTRATED BY THE ANGELS EXCEPT THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN IT AS I CALL MYSELF JESUS PHYSICAL EYE WITNESS THIS DAYS. AND ONLY THOSE WHO ARE GIFTED WITH THIRD EYE CAN TELL YOU THE SAME. IF YOU STILL STUBBORNLY REFUTE IT AS I EXPECTED DO YOU EVEN KNOW JESUS REVEALED GODS NAME EXIST IN EVERY LETTER OF THE ALPHABET AND VOWEL SOUND YOU MAKE OH I'M SORRY YOU DID NOT MET JESUS YET. YOU JUST HAVE TO WAIT UNTILL YOU DO CAUSE I AM NOT AT LIBERTY TO SAY HIS NAMES FOR YOU HUMAN OPERATES AND FUNCTION WITH YOUR EMOTIONS AND HAVE A TENDENCY TO MAKE A MOCKERY OF HIS NAME BECAUSE IT SOMETIMES SOUND FUNNY. BUT UNTILL YOU DO TRY AND CELEBRATE WITH THE CATHOLIC PEOPLE IN BROTHERHOOD OF CHRIST JESUS LEAVE THEM ALONE LET THEM GIVE SIMPLE GESTURES OF THE SIGN OF THE CROSS , LET THEM LIGHT UP AS MANY CANDLES AS THEY WANT, LET THEM KNEEL EVERY DAY IF THEY WANT TO, LET THEM ASK MOTHER MARRY TO HELP THEM FOR ANY ASSISTANCE AS JESUS COMMANDED HER TO AND THE HEAVENLY ANGELS AND SAINTS AND APOSTLES DO GODS DEED FOR HE EXTENDS HIS GLORY TO EVERYTHING THAT BELIEVETH IN HIS GLORY IF YOU SAY GOD LIVES IN YOUR CLOSET YES HE DOES, IF YOU SEE GOD LIVES IN A STATUE YES HE DOES HE IS EVERYWHERE YOU SEE TOUCH AND FEEL, AND LISTEN TO. SO JUST BE BLESSED LEAVE THEM CATHOLIC PEOPLE ALONE THEY KNOW SOMETHING YOU DON'T.
the reason why God telling us to read the Bible..the secret is there how are you not going to be fooled
Jesus Christ was neither a Catholic nor a Protestant. He was an Israelite who prayed to One God, not Trinity. He also worshiped in a synagogue, not church. WAKE UP❗
This is nonsense
