Freemasonry is from Satan "G"!
God bless u and keep u, in Jesus name.. Amen.
Thank you for answering the call. He doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called, and it sounds like that's going to be a part of your story.
@@cllewis1 I’ve never heard someone say it like that, thank you
God bless you
I'm ex muslim from 11 children and happy being the only Catholic in the family since 1997. Lord Jesus Love me❤
Welcome into the Catholic family...❤❤❤you will love it😊
Along with the love of your brothers and sisters in Christ...😊
69 yr old female here. I wandered away from my Catholic faith 34 yrs ago. I recently started filling as if my life was missing something important. Waiting by a red light I looked over and saw a Catholic Church . I knew the church was there, but I never really payed much attention to it. I actually felt as if I was being drawn towards it. That Sunday I went to my first Mass in 34 yrs. I went to Confession and spoke to the priest. I now attend Mass every week. I feel like I’ve returned home. 💒🙏🥰💕🙌
Congratulations!
Former Muslim, now a Catholic
Welcome to the faith😘question: what was the turning point for you? I have Muslim friends and would love to hear from you.
Awesome 🎉
Awesome. Welcome home. Part of my ancestry was Islam but my great grandfathers migrated to the Pacific in the 1880s and all their children were baptized Catholic. I'm thankful to God for everything including been born into His One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. 🙏❤️
@onyi__ wow! Welcome! U will not regret your decision to follow Jesus! So thrilled for u!
Wow!! You are an inspiration.. welcome home! ❤
This is exactly why I became a catholic from formally being a buddhist.
It's the same shit. Catholicism isn't christian at all. Read the bible.
Add, I went to check the architecture of our Cathedral here before becoming Catholic. God kept me in there until a mass began, to which I sobbed the entire time & knew I had to come home to Christ. Beautiful.
Beautiful story. May God bless you in your continuing journey!
I still often cry during mass. His beauty, the prayers, the hymns...it's overwhelming beauty. God bless.
My then girlfriend sobbing by the end!
" Is it like this every time?" I said yes. Everywhere around the world every day.
Now my wife of 33 yrs. And my rock

@@iggyantiochoh my that is so sweet 🥹❤️🙏
Just started my RCIAs!🥳 And he's correct that deeper understanding is what made me want to become Catholic and really set a fire in me to learn more about the Bible.
Reading it is an eye opener rather than just learning about it.🙂
I’m starting RCIA this September! I’m so excited!
I start in the fall. I'm excited! I've been attending Sunday mass for several months already.
Former Mormon, just converted to Catholic after reading the Bible ❤
Welcome Home! 😇
@@Angelica-lo5qs nope not true.
How the catholic church is run is against the Bible. Like he says the prayers and mass are based from the Bible but the catholic church is far from Bible truth. People should read and study the Bible if they want to know God.
Welcome home. Stay blessed
Chose Jesus not religion
Please pray that I become a good and Holy priest. 🥰
According to the bible you must be married with a good wife and good well behaved children and be able to run a household. Also don't call yourself father. That's biblical. I can quote scripture directly if you want but that's the requirement.

Welcome home. So much respect.
@@anneerin3533Not every Catholic or protestant has a personal relationship with Jesus. It's a grace from above. This should not be the reason to stay away from Catholic church.Being born again i.e. experience sanctifying grace is a special grace wherin we participate in the love of God , it's a higher state of spiritual existence and until that happens we need to seek ....
I remember being challenged to read all of Jesus's words and remember that His Word is a power and a force, like Let there be light. Suddenly the whole Gospel pulled together and surprisingly it was Catholic.

God bless you! I hope you are continuing your journey into the family of the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church!
Love it! Come home. ❤

@@stephanie4949 the Catholic Church is most definitely not the One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church. The Catholic Church split from the true faith in 1054. I suggest you read the details of the Great Schism of 1054.
The Pharisees were also well spoken and well educated, and had many traditions and rituals. The Roman Catholic Church incorporated many pagan rituals and traditions, with a Christian veneer.
I left the Protestantism for three reasons: 1. Catholics have the Lord's Supper at every service.
2. I sort of knew that the "Prosperity" message was not preached in Catholic Churches.
3. Catholic churches have an altar and not a stage with a set of drums and a pulpit.
I came I to the church at age seventy during Easter Vigil in 2018.
God bless you 🙏
You were never protestant becouse you never converted
The Holy Scripture leads to the Christian Orthodox Church!
WELCOME!! God Bless!!
What you left was NOT true Protestantism. Sounds like it was Joel’s Osteenism or Benny Hinnism.
I'm a practicing Catholic and would also like to add that even the music that is sung at mass is based on scripture. We sing the psalms at mass and many hymns in the hymnal were written from scripture.
Nothing about Catholicism is scriptural. Turn away from your idolatry and pagan practices.
Music in mass should be liturlic
Good point!!!
This reminds me of The Road ro Emaus which is a song that literally tells the bible story. We sing it every year.
As a European Protestant, I would say that singing hymns based on scripture is traditionally our thing!
I think things changed after Vatican Two in the 1960s and more music for the congregation was introduced into the Mass.
We Protestants used to be teased/mocked for singing so much…
I went from being a Buddhist then converted to a Protestant (over a decade ago) and I converted to Catholicism over a year ago. ❤

What made you reconsider Buddhism, if you don't mind my asking?
Not raised going to church, but never understood why I was supposedly always saved, but then told I was burning in hell when caught in sin. Once I got past being so angry for the contradictions, I decided to pick up my protestant bibles, & read my way into the Catholic Church, especially 1 Cor 11, The Lord's Supper. It was the eucharist that brought me to the Church. AND, Fr. Nixon was one of my priests when I entered! He was the 1st priest that I met, AND he sat down to talk w/ me. I may be an adult convert on paper, but I've always been Catholic. The Church teaches a relationship with Jesus is critical to salvation. I am blessed! Thank you to all of you priests for all that you do to bring Jesus to us daily.
Former Catholic, converted to deeper and conservative Catholic.
Truth. Grew up Evangelical Presbyterian and quit at 18 years old. Tried various protestant brands over the years and finally quit looking. I figured I already new a lot about Christianity… I KNEW NOTHING! Became a Catholic Easter 2023. Thank you Bishop Barron!!!
Presbyterians are Calvinists, so not surprised there. You won't find the gospel of salvation in the catholic church.
@@loriroy1705 as 1 not raised in church & heard the protestants mock Catholics, I decided as a young adult to pick up protestant bibles & heard the protestants mock the scriptures they claim to believe. Protestants that believe the Word are Catholic & don't know it. I'll never trust protestants to teach me scriptures as they mock them. Peace be with you, as you discover the salvation story in your bibles is Catholic.
Hes right. Im a Christian and i really like the catholics. Ive been enlightened recently. I am gonna find a catholic church.
Thanks to Lord Jesus Christ, I'm a Christian since 2017 and got baptized in Catholic Church. I was a muslim before.
Praise The Lord.
Amen. Welcome home.🙏❤️
May the Lord protect and guide you all the days of your life. Welcome! ❤
Very relatable to me! I was about 20 years old, raised Baptist but coming back to Jesus after some tumultuous teen years. I was looking for a church that honored Jesus and the Gospels, because the person of Jesus Christ is really what brought me back to faith. I remember attending Mass just to check it out, and seeing how everyone stood for the Gospel, how the priest raised it and kissed it. It blew me away. I didn't become Catholic then and there but that was the beginning.
God is so good. Stay blessed.🙏❤️
Yup! Once I researched the differences between denominations, it was pretty clear that the Catholic Church is the True Church.
YES!!!! I converted to Catholicism after being evangelical Protestant for 40 years. It was my deep examination of the early Christian church that led me to the Catholic Church. I was always used to carrying my Bible to church, so now I carry a Roman Daily Missal. I love following along with the Liturgy during Mass! It’s encouraging to see so many Catholics are waking up, realizing the truth of our faith, standing up for Catholicism and getting deep into the Bible. I like to challenge my Protestant brethren with this question - Did Jesus leave us a Bible or a Church?
That question is divinely inspired.
"And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it." (Mat 16:18)
Jesus left us THE CHURCH. The Bible was compiled by Catholics, before Martin Luther in Germany broke away from his church, etc.etc.
@@bernitacenteno1326 and a church is 2 or more people. We are all one and we all make churches by being togetger. Its not simply a location❤️
What you love is that you can still keep all your favorite sins and just say your sorry at the end of the week
@@markdavison4311 That's nothing but ignorance. To think that means you're really an atheist. But we're not atheists, we know there is one living God an we can't fool him.
Cradle Catholic here. I tried out a protestant church for a few months, much emphasis on community but very light on scripture to attract followers, and a weak attempt at imitating communion (bread and juice in disposable cups) with no acknowledgement of real body and blood. So now I find myself praying daily for the Catholic church's revitalization. May God raise the Church up with His mighty arms once again.
News flash. The Catholic Church doesn't offer true body and blood of Christ to the faithful. How is it that Catholics call a simple wafer put on the tougne the body and blood of Christ???? Why don't they provide real Communion to the faithful,??? The true faith most certainly does. The true faith requires one to partake of the Sacrament of Confession at least monthly, preferably more often. The faithful partakes of the body and blood of Christ together from a spoon at the hands of a priest. The servant of God. ....( Name) Partakes of the all holy body and blood of our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and unto life everlasting amen.
@@bazilbatlledragon
There is consecrated wine as well.
Disposable cups makes for sense rather than from one chalice. Hygiene is a factor. Also as an Adult I don't need a priest feeding me like I'm a child.
@@bazilbatlledragonyou need to review the Catholic teaching on the Real Presence. The Catechism of the Catholic Church is good, and so are many others. Don't make up your conclusions until you check them out. What you you are asserting is not accurate.
@@19037vinnyThis is why the laity receiving under both species is reserved for Sundays and Solemnities. Only the Celebrant needs to receive under both species for the Eucharist to be valid.
My first Catholic Mass was so amazing, led me to convert from Baptist to Catholicism back in 2020!

@mdsoyabaktar
Aisha was nine
Go do your research on how much they hide and how they used to not want people to read the Bible for themselves
My husband was raised Baptist, and until recently, he told me he thought Catholics were not Christians, but after being married to me he knows differently now.
Catholics are not Christian. They are pagan. They don't believe Jesus was sacrificed once for all men who believe . They reject God's plan for salvation. They also don't believe any one has salvation without partaking in the mass. Their salvation is never secured. It's a false church. A false gospel. Peter had to be corrected by Paul for his false teachings. Christ is the head of the church not self appointed papacy.
Even the Rosary comes from words in scripture. I’m converting and in catechism class. I was so spiritually blind and a huge anti Catholic. Once I went to Catholic sources I found out every Protestant argument was a strawman. What I thought Catholics believed, was not what they actually believed. Catholic answers has helped questions like, how is Mary a perpetual virgin, Why does the Bible say Jesus has brothers, do Catholics worship Mary? Once I learned these words ‘Latria’ and ‘Dulia’ my heart softened, and now I see how full catholicism is and how the Christianity I was serving had been stripped to bare bone. When I put true Protestant arguments next to Catholic sourced arguments, the Catholic reasoning outweighs Protestantism every time. One reading this doesn’t know I’m not bashing Protestantism, I’m actually extremely humbled because I see how wrong I was in my anticatholic ways. I’ll always love the churches that introduced me to Jesus and taught me some, but I have matured and see what I’ve been missing and can never go back.
A beautiful testimony. God bless ♥️🙏
Thank you for writing this. I'm still exploring my faith and I think reading the catechism could really help. ❤
That's what happens. You look a little deeper and realize the early reformers reacted to moral problems in the Catholic hierarchy and instead of moral reform gave doctrinal changes not backed up by scripture or tradition.
How do you feel about Catholic Baptisms only pouring water on the head? Infant baptisms?praying to and what seems worshipping Mary? Confessing to a priest? The pope oddly treated like an idol?
@@beautyandbrainznice cut and paste ten times already
As a former evangelical who became disgusted listening to my preachers anti Catholic sermons and started thinking for myself I returned to my Catholic faith. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.
And now you are a part of the apostate Babylonian satanic religion that made up indulgences, purgatory, prays to the dead. And worships not venerates but actually worships Mary …🤮😳
God bless you brother in Christ ✝️💟
Can I ask why you converted? I am Catholic and I go to an evangelical church, which I love. However, everyone at my church feels like Catholics aren’t saved or aren’t Christian’s. I feel defensive about it.
@@rachelerommes2839go to a catholic mass and old fashioned traditional or latin and you will feel Gates of heaven opening. Literally.
@@rachelerommes2839I know your question is not for me, but I'd like to say I was one of those who would think and say that about Catholics.
It's rooted in ignorance. We hear things from our pastors since we're small and then we just believe, trust his judgement and our parents' judgement and start repeating what they said.
When I manage to detach myself from their indoctrination I was very sad, lonely, isolated for many years, not knowing exactly how to follow the religion and I needed guidance but couldn't know who to trust. Then eventually, little by little, God's Spirit did His work on me and I simultaneously got in touch with philosophy, history... and I watched some very smart people whom I figured were catholic. Then I thought if the people I most like are Catholic and they're so smart, I need to take a better look into Catholicism to see what they say about these things they do and we protestants are against.
I figured everything made so much more sense than I knew and that it was the genuine Apostolic succession, with the correct understanding of the gospel. And I was mesmerized. It was like getting healed from blindness and discovering the world is so colorful and that's how life is meant to be. The world had been upside down so far, and now it's adjusted back in place.
I'm halfway through my catechism classes at the moment, hoping the get my conditional baptism next year and confirmation. 🙏
God bless and keep you all in holiness
The Catholic Church is the original church.
It's a schism not an original. It's a cult,
Haha!
It is , historically speaking oriental Catholic Church was the first together with other oriental denomination.
Original means origin , beginning.
Original doesn’t mean necessarily true .
It is the universal church. It brought all the scattered early churches under one structure.

Why do you want to go in when Jesus says to come out? Her plagues are very close to falling on those inside the Catholic church.
God bless you on your journey.
Be it known: through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit!
Hear me when I say, ye that are Catholic have been deceived and know not God. Ye worship Mary, praying to her; when God tells his to worship none other than him. It is idolatry.
Catholicism has it's own Bible and teachings, which are blasphemous to the word of God: the Holy Bible. As ye follow the teachings of man and not God; ye hear the pope, but not Jesus, yet ye claim to be his disciples!
These are but a few things I named ye dwell within; there are many more. I tell you now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father!
There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you!
They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God...
Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask:
"Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen."
Revelation 22:8-9 KJV
8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
Acts 2:38 KJV
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Luke 11:13 KJV
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
John 14:21-24 KJV
21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.*
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.*
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.*
3 John 1:11 KJV
11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. *He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.*
1 John 3:6-10 KJV
6 *Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.*
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: *he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.*
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 *Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.*
10 *In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,* neither he that loveth not his brother.

Protestant for 37 years, I had a recent trial in my life, and God called me in my dreams and thoughts to the Catholic Church. My family lives in the Bible Belt and my grandfather a Protestant preacher. My family has been really terrible about it, but the call came from nowhere. I was told many lies about the Catholic Church. I’ve now learned more about the Bible and religious history than I’ve ever known. Pray for Protestants. They really do not understand what they’re doing because it’s largely an uneducated religion.
Ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom and aswer this with honesty: what is the most loved church in the world? What church is the most powerful church in the world? What church is the richest church in the world? What does the Bible say about it? Who fits the description of the Harlot?
John 8:32
It's awesome you have found your spiritual tradition to God. Still, making blanket statements about Protestants being religiously uneducated is unwise, divisive, and greatly disingenuous. 🙏🏼
Do you even know how the Roman Catholic Religion started ?
@@lovelyjanecohen2637it wasn't cOnStAntiNe like many evangelical Protestants claim. It was Christ who established the Church on Saint Peter
@@yesenia3816in general they are very superficial and think listening to a good sermon can save a person. As if you can be motivated to decide to be saved. You just need to be motivated by a good sermon to be saved. That’s not how it works. The Pastors try to teach the congregation about the Bible like a teacher. That’s not spiritual. People learn about books in school. That is very secular.
Presbyterian preacher's son here. The Catholic Church, aside from its issues, has a much deeper grasp of spirituality than Protestantism. Especially when you get into saints like Padre Pio, and the teachings of exorcists like Father Ripperger.
As a Born again Christian I agree the Catholic Christian Religion has the deepest Faith .Your in Christ Jesus Peter DeLorey Canada 🇨🇦

@@simonslater9024 I didn't see it 😕
Raised Protestant but was never very serious about my faith. When I was struggling to conceive after having multiple miscarriages I cried out to God and promised that if He blessed me with children I would make sure they knew Him. Shortly after I had my son and then a daughter. I remembered my promise and starting asking God to draw near me and started taking my children to church. The more I prayed and read my Bible I realized what I was missing. I was missing Jesus. I was trying to get to the Father without Jesus. So I started seeking Jesus, which has lead me to Catholicism.
I was raised a Catholic but was poorly catechized, I had so many questions at 13 when I was becoming curious about Christianity that my mom just couldn’t answer because she was only catholic because of her parents and never questioned it. Became a Protestant and didn’t really like the Catholics because of what I’ve been taught by other dogs. I got curious about Catholicism because I wanted to prove it wrong so bad, turns out I became a Catholic and returned to true apostolic Christianity.
What about Roman Catholicism convinced you? Jesus provided us grace through his sacrifice, yet as a Catholic, the church acts as a gatekeeper to Heaven by forcing sacramental works to earn grace. I don't get it. Where in the scripture does it say that we are required to participate in sacraments to be saved?
@@The-Tubes first thing I’ll correct you on is no Catholic should believe that we “earn grace”. The ccc 2nd edition 1996 says
“1996 Our justification comes from the grace of God. Grace is favor, the free and undeserved help that God gives us to respond to his call to become children of God, adoptive sons, partakers of the divine nature and of eternal life.46”
This of course does not say you have to earn it. We have to live out our faith and grace through living within Christ(obedience toward god) by what he’s told us. We’ll do this one topic at a time so we don’t get any miscommunications or confused in anyway.
Edit: ask me one sacrament at a time that we are required of to be saved(ei the 3 essential elements of the sacraments)
did you just refer to other followers of Jesus Christ, e.g., Protestants, as, "dogs"?
@@AH-ih3wd no not all. I call other Catholics and Orthodox dogs too because they’re not genuine. I know there’s some good Protestants out there that are more obedient, and more in the word than I. So to be clear with you, Calvin and Luther are dogs. I only really call people reprobate if they’re not genuine and the Protestants(most of them) get it from those who opposed the apostolic church and call themselves “the true Christians”.
God bless you ❤

Good for you! Welcome to the one true Church of Christ! The Catholic Church.
Recently, in the fall of 2023, the Roman Catholic parishes for about 5 weeks explained everything about the mass which was a refresher for many of us and new to others. I love the mass in the Eucharist
Bro just read me like a book
Recently my mindset has shifted from "God please help me" to "God what do you want me to do for you"
And I have developed a hunger for Jesus and I've ended up at the Catholic church
I'm seriously considering becoming a Catholic because I believe that it will bring me closer to Jesus Christ
Do it! It's the best!
Amen. May our dear Lord bless, guide and protect you in your journey of Faith. Prayers for you.🙏❤️
It's hard to be closer than His Body and Blood inside you.
I have a common anomaly. I remember things in color. As a child I was a Presbyterian in a Catholic School. I had mass once a week and Presbyterian service once a week. The Presbyterian service would be a pretty blue and the Catholic mass was a yellow golden color.
I read my Bible both places and noted that Presbyterian pastors tended to preach on specific passages while Catholics read the whole gospel over two years. I left the Presbyterian church after Roe vs. Wade when I received a letter from the Presbyterian church stating they didn't have authority to tell me abortion was wrong and I must make any decisions without their Church's guidance. I was Evangelical for years and found the interpretations too varied from church to church. Finally I turned to the Mass and found it still golden.
Catholicism is the true original christian religion, and i feel like they dont advertise that enough... i feel like young people like facts, and this is a fact that could attract many young people.
All these 'isms' there is no 'ism' in Jesus Christ
Learn of the Jesus of Scripture not what you've been told by the wisdom of men
'For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God'
1 corinth 3:19
“You are Peter and this rock I build my church” there you go Broskie
Uh, the Ebionites were probably first. They believed Jesus was a great prophet. It was hundreds of years after the death of Jesus before the catholic church formed out of one branch of Christianity.
That's the facts. The catholics are bad people, but they should stop lying about their origin.
Not exactly. Roman Catholicism didn’t start until Constantine, before that they were called Nazarenes at first and then the Trinitarians developed out of that movement.
@@Thor-Orion I get what you are saying, but all of the Nazarenes became Catholics when they finally had a religion they didn’t have to hide because of. Thing about orthodoxy was they broke off the Catholic Church really early so that still makes Catholicism the first
This is very true. I am being baptized and becoming a Catholic next weekend and studying the Bible is why I am here. It’s been a journey but I have learned soo much. Catholicism does not twist Gods word to fit the church. They speak true scripture so that we may hear Gods words and get to know him. I am so glad I will be baptized by St Francis of Assissi on Easter. ❤
I’m Methodist yet very attracted to the Catholic tradition. As I’ve learned more, I’ve deepened my “connection” to Lord Jesus throughout the boring and mundane parts of life where I once felt absolutely lonely. So I’m sincerely grateful to you wonderful Catholics making your Faith accessible to me. Thank you and God Bless you.
Thanks for watching!

May I ask, considering non Catholic Christians use the Bible which the Catholic church chose among around 25k manuscripts of the New Testament, it assumes much that non Catholic Christians implicitly believe in the Catholic Church's God given authority to declare what's true. If not, then why don't non Catholic Christians choose their own manuscripts to include in the Bible as divinely inspired. But that would mean infinite versions of the Bible because of the assumption of most non Catholic Christians that all Christians have the authority to declare truths. What's do you think? An honest question.
The Bible is selected and compiled by the Catholic church. Then non Catholics used that compilation and claimed it for themselves. The Bible is a Catholic book.
I wish all you brothers and sisters fullness of truth in Jesus and be more fully Christians.
Come Home! 😇
I still remember the first time I went to mass, I didn’t have idea of how it was gonna be but while I was listening the prayers I remembered many of the scriptures where they are mentioned, like the lamb of God or Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, I definitely didn’t expect that.
The mass is beautiful, and it is even more when we do what we’re supposed to do which is meditate and celebrate those mysteries
Jesus is beautiful.

were you born again of water & Spirit (baptism?) or the a prayer to Jesus, which the scripture doesn't state & created by man? also, you're only assured of your salvation until one of your fellow always saved people catch you in sin, then you must repent to be saved (sound Catholic yet?). - peace be with you
A true Christian wouldn't say the Bible would lead to any denomination, but rather to Jesus Christ solely.
The Catholic Church is not a denomination. The Catholic Church is the one and only Church of Jesus Christ. As such, to lead someone to Jesus Christ is to lead them to the Church he founded.
Your idea of a true Christian as one who interprets the Bible for himself, unaided by infallible authority, is misguided. The Bible is not an instruction manual for the masses. It is a collection of books and letters intended for the instruction of the faithful by their divinely appointed bishops, who would be guided and preserved from error by the Holy Spirit according to the promise of Christ. You have no such protection, nor inspiration.
Thank you for preaching the Truth!

EO here! Wawww couldn't be better said and explained! It came at the perfect time. Yesterday before I go to sleep I saw a post from someone ( non EO or RC) that said " worship is like a coat" Isaiah, and directly the following question came in my mind: well first define what you mean by "worship" and than understand if you are wearing the right coat! However, I didn't express any opinion but in my heart I knew that we had complete understanding, and went to sleep with that thought! Today, once I opened UA-cam directly this video came up ( first time seeing this channel) ! Was mindblowing!!!! I have friend protestants that I really love and my heart and soul prays for them! And I am sure they do the same for me! But what I realised during the years, is that if God's grace doesn't work within us, is very difficult to see and accept things differently from what you know, no matter the evidence is given! However a small homework to my heterodox brothers and sisters: search how the chuches where the epistles were sent and the ones that played a vocal role to the history of Christianity ( Thessaloniki, Korinthos, Rome, Ephesus, Jerusalem, Damascus, etc) were worshipping, even before the NT was conducted and check what all those Churches ( that were part of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic) have in common. Whatever those churches have in common is 1000% comming from Apostolic Tradition and is not what you call "tradition of men" It's not by chance that all those churches have the same sacraments, same liturgical order, same temples etc. May our Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on us and humble our hearts so we can approach those topics with burning desire of understanding the truth rather than just waiting to validate our beliefs!

Hear me when I say, ye that are Catholic have been deceived and know not God. Ye worship Mary, praying to her; when God tells his to worship none other than him. It is idolatry.
Catholicism has it's own Bible and teachings, which are blasphemous to the word of God: the Holy Bible. As ye follow the teachings of man and not God; ye hear the pope, but not Jesus, yet ye claim to be his disciples!
These are but a few things I named ye dwell within; there are many more. I tell you now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father!
There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you!

Is Christs death enough for your salvation?
Jesus wasn’t the founder of the catholic church,constantine was.
Born/baptized Catholic. Switced to Athiesm. Then Baptised in a non denominational church. now at 40 years old i will be going to mass again soon (easter for sure with my father). Also i found out my great uncle and 2nd cousin are priests ( Fr Kenneth Novak & Fr Lawrence Novak)! Praise Jesus!
Catholic comes from Greek, it means Universal. When you say Catholic Church, you are saying Universal Church
I told my husband last week that I was going to mass again for the first time in two years. When he asked why, I told him it was because mass was the most biblically centered church service I had ever experienced. Everything is centered around the Word of God, which is why I love it so much more compared to protestant worship services.
“Everything is centered around the Word of God.” Yet, out of the other side of Catholic’s mouths, we hear, “Sola Scriptura isn’t biblical!” Hypocrisy oozes out of this religion. Jesus is the only Way, religion isn’t.
@@onlyimagine4 Where does the Bible say that?
@@Annabanana727 Say what? That Jesus is the only way? John 14:6
If you are asking where “mass was the most biblically centered church service service I had ever experienced. Everything is centered around the Word of God.” Well, It doesn’t say that anywhere in the Bible. In fact, there is little, if anything, in the “mass” found in the Bible. Such as:
*Mass itself
*Re-sacrifice of Jesus on the alter. He was sacrificed ONCE For ALL SINS.
*Priests after Jesus’ death
*Adoration of a wafer in a monstrance
*Genuflecting
*Believers believing they’re eating Jesus’ flesh. Jesus said, Ye must eat of My flesh (come) and drink of my blood (believe). We must come and believe to have eternal life. We eat of Jesus spiritually in the NT as Christ said, “the flesh profits nothing.”
*Burning incense
*Lighting candles for the dead
*Saying a “mass” for the souls who didn’t believe Jesus’ sacrifice was enough to purge their sins so they made up a fictitious place called “purg-a-tory. Guess there had to be a holding place for Catholics who tell Jesus “thanks for brutally suffering and dying for me, but I still have to contribute to that plan of salvation since your death just didn’t cut it. So….We made up a place whereby fires purge all our sins cuz You couldn’t!” (BLASPHEMOUS)!!!
*Closed communion - communion is for ALL who have put their faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
*Confession to a priest. There is no longer a need for priests after our High Priest went to the Cross. Why do you think the veil was torn from top to bottom????God did that to say we no longer need a priest to get to Him. We can go DIRECTLY through His Son Jesus Christ.
*Penance
*Apostles saying Jesus’ Words spoken are fine, but there’s “so much more to learn that JUST what Jesus said. We have to make an entire catechism cuz Your words found in the Bible, Jesus,
aren’t enough for us Catholics.”
We shouldn't boast about the churches we belong to, we are His church and we should have a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior ❤.
The problem is Jesus founded a specific Church called the Catholic Church. That’s why we don’t have he right to not belong to it. All Protestantism is is a protest of Christ
How wonderful it is to know that almost every part of the mass including our responses are rooted in the Bible. It would have been great if more things about it were explained to all of us in the school as what father said. Few things I only know of that I remembered our teacher told us is our lining up and walking to recieve the host during holy communion is based on the exodus of the Israelites. Mass is the highest form of prayer. 🙂

@SaintDominicMedia
Unfortunately friend the Catholic faith does contradict the word of God.
Firstly...a qualifier I'm dead certain a unknown number of Catholics through simple trust and heart for Christ are blood bought believers and are saved.
This could be because they have little or loose knowledge of Catholic traditions and practices or know little of God's word and are only beginning their walk with Jesus.
Session 6 Canon 9 of the council of Trent completely denies that faith alone in what our Lord accomplished is sufficient for salvation.This is a major problem as it implies that when Jesus said "It is finished"...
this is at odds with what has to be done by "fallen human" beings to attain Salvation..
We bring nothing to the table...
The holy spirit living in believers whose hearts the Lord has drawn to him starts with true repentance,then baptism he continues to work in the hearts of the saved.
Sanctification is life long as we walk in relationship with Jesus in and through his word coming to know and love him more.
Out of this growing love for Christ good "fruit" flows from the living water inside of believers becoming more prevalent as we grow in holiness and go to war daily against sin.
This is truth,and plenty of testimonies attest to this including my own changed life,all credit to Jesus.

I’m a Christian and don’t need any annoyed saints and fancy rituals to be saved…that’s the thing I don’t understand with Catholicism
True. One thing I can say is, they really don't grasp the omnipotence, and omnipresence, and omniscience of God. That's why they fall for counterfeit mediators and empty works, emotions that the building feels. I doubt their logical reasoning. They base it mostly on feeling good.
My wife was Catholic and so were my mother & father but they began to read the Bible and listen to a radio station that focus on God's Word rather than a bunch of traditions of men. My parents ask questions to varies of Priest with little to no answer so they eventually became Christians (Evangelical) who follow the Word of God written in the Bible.
What an Eternal Blessing it is to have a relationship with God The Father The Son and The Holy Spirit our GOD.
Nevertheless I definitely believe the all who claim to be Christians should be thankful to the Orthodox Church and Catholic Church for the preservation of the of the Holy Scriptures and the preservation of the many writings of early church fathers.
I noticed the last few years Catholics have been trying to imitate and almost comaflage themselves as Evangelical Christians.
With finally allowing new music sometimes even borrowing Evangelical Christian artist or songs which I guess is fine since it most true Christian songs won't contradict Catholic teachings;
Also Catholics seem to have stepped it up through apologetics teachings that try to make some sense something other Christians had been pretty good at for years.
But the saddest part is so many Catholics have very little to no idea of how they are or can be saved.
Although they see a crucifix all over the place many are just trusting that they were baptized in the Catholic Church and that when they die hopefully the Catholic Church will have their back thru their 9 days of mass.
This is called putting their Faith in the Catholic church and in being a good enough person through their works plus with the help of putting their Faith in the Virgin Mary Plus Jesus.
This is not Biblical Salvation and maybe not even Catholic Salvation, but this is how most Catholics I've spoken to believe.
Thanks for leaving a comment. Please check out this article for a comprehensive understanding of how Catholics view salvation: www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/is-salvation-an-act-or-a-process
Im a catholic love to be catholic👍🧡
My personal experience is that i learned no scripture in mass,empty platitudes same recitals ....no energy vibrancy of spirit filled worship(not talking about emotionalism)
Same old recited verses,homilies with occasional reference to the odd verse.
The Lord drew me to search more deeply...came to faith at 30 thru joining a bible saturated Church and was born again.
Only through a close personal relationship with the Lord thru his word can be become more progressively holy with his spirit living inside of us leading the way,stumbling on the way..but its a daily commitment to fight sin with living in his word
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word(i.e the bible), you are My disciples indeed.
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 8:31-32
Sanctification and holiness are the same word in greek....(To be set apart,distinct)
I dare say if we go to Church Catholic or Evangelical and spend the rest of the week living and succumbing to sinful pleasures....one must ask oneself am i truly born again ....am i being taught Gods word thru mentoring etc...am i growing in to my saviors likeness?
Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish
Ephesians 5:25b-27
Remember....
The veil was torn in two after the Lords death when the sky darkened and the earth shook
A priest doesnt need to make atonement for believers anymore as was peformed in the Old testament....we now have direct access to Jesus...because his death and victory over sin.
"Hail Mary"...respectfully why risk an idol when we will face him in the end
In Luke 1...Mary describes needing a savior....she was a sinner like the rest of us who will like all true believers will be redeemed and honored on the last day because of the Lord

Things like this have caused me to turn away from the Catholic church and just like you cited john 8, I believe as Christians we should all just abide by God's word, The TRUTH, because man can adulter that
It was my protestant bibles that showed me all the Catholic teachings, & I wasn't raised in church. But one can never be always saved, then sin & have that assured salvation ripped away, that is a contradiction in their own words. Scripture tells us we can't serve 2 masters, so "assured salvation" is a lie. My protestant bible helped me find the Catholic Church, not that the people are perfect, but because their teachings, scriptures are in the very protestant bibles that the "bible only" people scream but then also deny

Wow I'm proud of my gringos in the Catholic Church,God,Jesus,Mary and Joseph bless you always brothers!!!!
I find Protestant (reformed) to be much more biblically based than Catholic, which is one reason I have no interest in becoming a Catholic. I'm trying to learn more about what they believe, but I have major issues with the authority the give to the "church".
Sola Scriptura, or “God’s Word alone,” maintains that the Bible is the highest source of authority in a Christian’s life, the final court of appeal (though not the only authority: the Bible itself mentions governmental and other authorities).
Sola fide, or “faith alone,” affirms that justification-being made right with God-comes only through faith in Jesus.
Sola gratia, or “grace alone,” says sinners are saved as an unearned gift of God’s grace, “not as a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Eph 2:8-9).
Sola Christo (“solus Christus”), or “Christ alone,” emphasizes the exclusivity of Jesus’ role in salvation: “No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
And soli Deo gloria, or “to the glory of God alone,” says that the purpose of creation, salvation, and everything-including our goal as Christians-is the glory of God, “that God may be all in all” (1 Cor 15:28).
I was raised in a Missionary Baptist church. I married a Catholic and eventually decided to go through RCIA and ultimately converted. I’m so happy I did. One huge difference for me that I did not experience until after confirmation, was the sacrament of Holy Communion. I had taken “The Lord’s Supper” many times before as a Protestant, but it was done so trivially that it had no meaning. The first time (and many times thereafter, including currently) I was overwhelmed with emotion and the spiritual connection I experienced. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever felt.
Wow! Awesome! Thanks for leaving a comment.

why was the curtain in the temple ripped from top to bottom, what was the purpose and who did it, since it was so thick?
The answer will make your heart truly happy, go and find out!
I'm Coptic Orthodox from Egypt and Stand With you ☦️✝️♥️
Raised as a catholic,now a Christian. Catholic churches picked certain scriptures to serve themselves not for Jesus Christ and Father God. Many bow down to idols, confessional should only be shared with God, and only he can forgive our sins. True followers of Christ know how to discern the truth. This world is flipping what is good is said to be bad, and bad as good. Seek Jesus Christ only he can change your life and your path in this world.🙏🙏🙏👍
The Church is a pillar and foundation of truth not the Bible. You should learn your bible mate. Why call an alter call when there no alter?
@@francisoliva8969 man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
I agree 💯
@@francisoliva8969 did you really just say the Bible is not a pillar of truth? You speak Blasphemy sir. The Bible is the written inspired word of God. Jesus Christ is the word and the word has been with the one true living God Yahweh since the beginning. No man may take or add to The Word. The church is His bride and she is full of sin apart from Jesus’ blood.
Praise God So am I . So many many lost people in that Catholicism . 95 percent couldn’t tell you who Job is or Abraham or Sarah .
This is so true, and quite frankly, a huge problem. The vast majority of Catholics it seems, I included myself in that, were absolutely clueless when it came to the history of the Catholic faith, and why things were taught and practiced the way they were, and from where. In my experience going to Catholic school doesn’t help much. Obviously, the mass has a primary purpose, and that praising God and being renewed. So arming Catholics with other vital knowledge needs to be done through far more heavily pushed outside classes, information recommendations that can be easily accessed, Clubs etc.
I agree!! Right now I’m going through this inner conflict about Christianity and Catholicism but I feel like it’s because I wasn’t taught what it really meant to be a Catholic. I tried asking my parents to teach me but they never really could.
@@ilovekpop.3926 I highly recommend Mike Winger’s series on Catholicism. He goes waaaay back in Catholic history and reads directly from lots and lots of Catholic documents. It should clear some things up. He’s very gracious also. ❤️🙏🏼
Amen. Scripture leads to the Catholic Church and the truth of Jesus Christ.
No, why am I in Catholic UA-cam 😢 he said “almost everything” is scripturally based. They don’t teach everything the Bible says. They also changed things the way they wanted. The origins of Catholicism did not share scriptures at first, look up KJV. they taught how and what they wanted. Jesus would not have wanted that I think. The veil was torn, and that was never explained to me as a child raised in a Catholic home. I am now a Christian, living out the Word as best I can. Giving it all to Jesus every day.
Catholicism is exactly what he said “an experience” like what? “People who are serious about Jesus” don’t need an “experience” on Sunday…. We just want Jesus. We just want the Words He left. He gave. 2 Tim 3:16!
Very well said
What does KJV say about Catholics? please tell us.
@@Galaxygacha-ir5ko the Catholics completely deny the KJV translation, not even approved for Catholics to read? Why? Why did the original Catholic Bible remove the commandment, thou shall not worship idols? (#2) this was the point I was trying to make.
@@Amelia7777 I sincerely appreciate the point made. Historically, the KJV came after the Original (Catholic) bible and removed the Apocrypha.
The early Christian church, presented the commandments are in the order as we know it. Even after the Reformation, Lutherans and Catholics agreed on this enumeration and arrangement.
Calvin and other Reformers, relying more on Exodus 20 and its presentation of the Decalogue, and wanting to make a strike against the statuary and icons (works of art) in the Catholic Church, enumerated the commandments in a different way adding the 2nd commandment and removing the 9th commandment.
For me personally, I have multiple copies of the Bible, including the KJV and often cross-reference matters when needed.
@@Amelia7777 They did not remove the 1st Commandment. We don't worship idols, but you're welcome to throw away your pics of your loved ones, because as you're accused of worshiping them too, nothing you say will make anyone believe you either.
As an ex-catholic please

THERE'S NONE. Clearly and Plainly made up by the pope.
If this was spoken about in mass and told to children when they were young, I think there would be far more people at mass. Thank you for telling us that, I didn’t know those facts either. It makes you go back and think about the words and the people.
Ancestors of Protestants were Catholics . Protestants broke away during 15th century though God is same for all sub-denominations of Christianity . Catholics are since 2000 years , whereas Protestants are since 500 years .
This is true. there are responses in the mass are not obvious where it came from. For example “when we eat this bread and drink this cup, we PROCLAIM YOUR DEATH UNTIL YOU COME AGAIN” is from 1 Corinthians. WhIch is the basic argument for celebration of the sacrifice of Jesus for every single day. And not the three to four times a year.
Every day would be amazinggg
@@ayakmajok8337 And it's available in the Catholic Church. You might have to do some work finding a Mass every day, but it's there.
