![58 Year Old Atheist Turns Christian After Trying To Prove Religion Is A Conspiracy [Normie]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3mKXYI1d8-8/mqdefault.jpg)
It's nice to see someone who actually practices their faith and cares about it as opposed to people who pretend they do.
Catholics don't usually proselytize which can make them more respectful to other people who don't share their faith or POV.
If you were really a devout Catholic you wouldn't assume about other people. Sit down Hypocrite.
Where was his faith when he blinded a man?
@@lifeisbeautiful7452 I agree with you. I wish he hadn't been a partner or major donator to Hallow.
@@janetg. he has been blessed so much! Praying for continuation of your happiness, peace, health and family life Mark! God is the winner always, nothing else above HIM!
I went to Ash Wednesday early morning church service. Came home to see Mark talking about faith. Blessings to everyone 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🇧🇸🇧🇸
The Gospels were written by the Flavians and Jesus is a mythological character like Theseus or Perseus.

Instead of a priest?🫢
😂
Gods Blessings to YOU, too!!
What a humble man. Not afraid to express his faith with confidence. God bless you Mark.🙏❤️.x
Thank you Mark Wahlberg. You inspired me to follow my Catholic faith more closer. God bless you!
love Mark, thanks for representing Catholics so well. Lent is the perfect time to seek God and practice prayer. This is what our country needs right now.
YES... that's an understatement !!
He actually seems " healthy normal rational sensible etc " !!
Ironically , The USA has become SOOO radicalised by religion... you actually need a little less to gain some objectivity back !!
Religion is serving the US so well lately!
God Guns USA 😱
Jesus is the only way, friends 🙏
As it looks like you don't even know what CATOLICOS means in Greek.....it means Eastern congregational churches.....what you call Catholics....is actually the Roman Catholic Church, which instead of Jesus on cross on the square..have Egyptian obelisk
The head catholic church ,or Vatican is ran by Satan, 100000000000% don't believe that do some research on the Vatican, and see for yourself
There are probably other celebrities who are devoted to their faith, but Mark is one of the greatest celebrity who is not afraid to show his publicly. Thank you for being a good Catholic role model for my kids.
It literally says in the bible to NOT show your faith... Matthew 6:6
@erauprcwa You're right. But what I'm trying to say is that when they called him for the interview, Mark didn't go wiping off the ash on his forehead. I think what Matthew 6:6 is talking about is not to "brag about", or "show off" your faith just so people would think you're such a religious individual.
@@erauprcwa read Mathew 10:32-34
Also Bowing down and Venaratung Images is wrong which you do according to Catechism 2132:
The Christian veneration of images is not contrary to the first commandment which proscribes idols. Indeed, "the honor rendered to an image passes to its prototype," and "whoever venerates an image venerates the person portrayed in it." The honor paid to sacred images is a "respectful veneration," not the adoration due to God alone. (Catechism 2132)
Because:
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me Exodus. 20:4-5
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 26:1
Prayng to Saints is also wrong which you do according to Catechism 956:
The intercession of the saints. "Being more closely united to Christ, those who dwell in heaven fix the whole Church more firmly in holiness. . . . They do not cease to intercede with the Father for us, as they proffer the merits which they acquired on earth through the one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus. . . . So by their fraternal concern is our weakness greatly helped." (Catechism 956)
Because it is Praying to the Dead.
It is Necromancy:
Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a NECROMANCER. Deuteronomy 18:11
And only the Spirit makes Intercession for us:
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26-27
To put in a Nutshell,

@@ayoolukoga9829 God is not against images per se. Understood correctly, it is the worship of idols that are spoken of here in the verses you cited.
But before going biblical, let’s use logic first. Here's an analogy. Think of having pictures or images of someone you love. Do we not carry them around or have them somewhere to aid us in remembering them? Also, we have images of them because we love them. If we have picture or images of someone we love out of love, should we not have the picture or image of God whom we should love above anyone or everyone else? Think about it for a moment. I’m sure God, in his infinite wisdom and knowledge, would know that the target of worship is not the image itself but rather him. As a Catholic before images or a representation of God, I’ve never felt the urge to worship a piece of cloth or paper or wood. No, they are merely visual aids to help us fix our attention on our prayers, to avoid distractions, and to increase the fervor of our adoration of God - especially in case of crucifixes, which should constantly remind us of the love of the Triune God. I can’t see why that would be reprehensible, why God would be against that. The essence of idolatry is the worship of the creature rather than the Creator, which is not the case here.
Now, let move on to biblical support. You cited Exodus 20. Do we read a Bible passage in isolation? There are a lot of apparent contradictions - not real, but just apparent contradictions - in the Bible, including this one with other Bible passages. So we have to reconcile and harmonize them, read within its context and alongside other parallel passages to ensure understanding of its true meaning. Israelites had the tendency to fall prey to idolatry, being in a polytheistic world. I would suggest that the prohibition is of idol worship, not a blanket prohibition of images. Some of the similar passage are Exodus 34:17 and Lev 3:4.
If we are to understand it as blanket prohibition against images, even if it is in religious context, that would contradict other Bible verses. 5 chapters later, God commands Moses to carve statues for a religious purpose: two cherubim which would sit atop the Ark of the Covenant. See *Exodus 25:18-20.*
God indeed welcomes sacred images. Solomon placed many images in the Temple. *(See 1 Kings **6:23**-29).*
Solomon even went further, placing images of animals on objects used for Temple worship: The bronze basin “stood on figures of twelve oxen” *(1 Kings **7:25**).*
In fact, instead of forbidding images, God commanded the setting up of a bronze serpent, a carved or graven image, to be used for prayer to God for healing *(Num 21:6-9).* Significantly, this a prophetic figure of Christ on the Cross as testified by the Church Fathers. So, it’s not just an image, it even prefigures Christ. You only have to look at it and be healed, the Scripture says.
Now, let's move on to *Nicea II.* This matter was settled, once and for all, in the second Council of Nicea in 787, both accepted by the East and the West, before the Great Schism, and before the Protestant movement, when the entire Christendom was still united.
We have to recall that Jesus Christ promised to send us the Paraclete, the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, to guide us into all truth *(John 16:13).* Are we so little of faith that we can’t hold to the promise of Christ or to the work of the Holy Spirit? The united Church has spoken, composed of bishops, the successors of the Apostles, to whom Jesus Christ also mandated that we have to listen to: Whoever listens to you, listens to me; whoever rejects you, rejects me; whoever rejects me, rejects him who sent me *(Luke 10:16).*
The praying to saints is an even simpler topic to address, that it's not even worth bothering. Just google it.
And I disagree. It is Protestantism that is anti-biblical, which is ironical, given its Sola Scriptura belief.
Just another reason why I love this man🙌 God bless us all 💖 may we all keep our faith open and truthful🙏
God bless Mark and anyone reading this. I’m happy to see people speaking openly about their faith and spreading positivity.
Good bless you too!
I wonder if his "faith" provoked him to attack black 4th graders and elderly Vietnamese men?
God hates us all!!! \m/ \m/
It is so inspiring and refreshing to see a man talking about his faith boldly on a TV show!
Like Jim Baker, Jimmy Swaggart and Jerry Falwell Jr. ?
@@andrerogers9961
LMAO!!!!
@@andrerogers9961 does it sound like them, from your personal experience?
@@TheActionJxn I am not able to discern your question... or inference.
@@andrerogers9961 Obviously God would judge them they way He would to everyone else.
Everyone is the same in the eyes of God, we all judged fairly.
He is such a great dad by teaching by example and not forcing his kids. It’s nice to see that he has strong faith and that God is opening many doors for him to have a great life.
Wow what an inspiration in today's spoiled world, I am catholic myself but have to admit I don't have half his discipline and devotion. Respect and Thank you so much for standing up for our faith ❤

I love Mark, for his discipline. His strive for excellence, and his integrity alongside the way he raises his children.
Not cramming it down people’s throats but not denouncing or hiding from his faith. He makes no apologies for his faith and his beliefs and how he wants his kids to come to faith is just awesome- by demonstrating, walking the walk and then letting them choose. Wow he is the real deal-
I don’t get why he would have shame
What you mean cramming in down people throat?? People need to hear the news. Light should not be hidden

Such a good example for this generation Mark... Keep going on... God bless📿🛐🙏
Thank you Today for airing this segment. Thank you for allowing Mark to talk openly about his faith.
my love for this man grows everytime i see him again
Seeing Mark giving such an authentic testimony makes me feel great admiration for him. He is one of the few Hollywood superstars capable of putting his deep faith before his career or prestige. Jim Caviezel is also a great example of Christian coherence. Mark is an excellent actor, a great family man, and an honest person who deserves recognition not only from his fans but also from the industry. I want to congratulate him and tell him that I pray for him and his family with affection so that he remains faithful to the Lord and feels strengthened in his heart.
Love!!! Love!!! Love!!! It's such a good day when we can openly talk about God and his glory!!! Love hearing peoples testimonies!!!!🙌🙌🙌🙌
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Love this segment! There’s a lot to be said about detaching from the modern world and being more reflective. Also, meditation and prayer is paramount in self-care and a development of a relationship with God. God bless. ❤
Hello how’re you doing?
Wonderful to see and hear two prominent people in the public eye speaking about matters that go to the depth of our lives.
A spiritual practice is of enormous benefit to everyone -- the person who has one and those around the person.
Always liked Mark’s work! Pretty cool to see we have faith in common. What a great segment 🙏🏽
Thank you!
Love the Ash Mark!! No matter the religion, under God we all walk.......belief and faith, what else do we have! Good talk, and way to explain on why we don't cram religion down peoples throats but we don't deny our religion and faith. God Bless....everyone!
Amen!
Thank you, Today Show for highlighting faith!
I was raised Catholic, as a child we always fasted during Lent. I fast often, fasting makes you feel so much light in an vibrational level. Nice interview. I always wake up around 2:30. It's a very powerful time to commune with God and the Angelic real.

It is Necromancy:
Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a NECROMANCER. Deuteronomy 18:11
And only the Spirit makes Intercession for us:
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26-27
To put in a Nutshell,
Being a Catholic is Antibiblical.
Jesus Saves!
Even ex-Catholics get attacked by the hate. Praying for you
Love this and his boldness in faith in a public platform.
When has being a Catholic ever been difficult in public?
@@roter13 well Christianity in general has criticism when people want to live boldly in faith. So when a celeb is not afraid to be a man of faith it’s refreshing to see. Not everyone speaks so freely about their beliefs.
@@HeatherSC02 no one cares Heather.
@@HeatherSC02 Christianity only has criticism when it expects everyone else to live in the faith.
@@roter13 Many people can lose their job, particularly in media, for being openly Catholic.
I love Mark more these days. I love how he is being so open about it.
Thank you Mark, for being such an inspiration and role model of our Catholic faith. I listened to your recording of the Rosary on the Hallow app every day during Lent.
I never knew, that he is such a solid, amazing person and real Christian! So proud of you, love you ❤️ ! HUGE RESPECT! Thank you for been one of us! God bless!
Also Bowing down and Venaratung Images is wrong which you do according to Catechism 2132:
The Christian veneration of images is not contrary to the first commandment which proscribes idols. Indeed, "the honor rendered to an image passes to its prototype," and "whoever venerates an image venerates the person portrayed in it." The honor paid to sacred images is a "respectful veneration," not the adoration due to God alone. (Catechism 2132)
Because:
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me Exodus. 20:4-5
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 26:1
Prayng to Saints is also wrong which you do according to Catechism 956:
The intercession of the saints. "Being more closely united to Christ, those who dwell in heaven fix the whole Church more firmly in holiness. . . . They do not cease to intercede with the Father for us, as they proffer the merits which they acquired on earth through the one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus. . . . So by their fraternal concern is our weakness greatly helped." (Catechism 956)

He’s literally a racist who was charged with attempted murder of a Vietnamese man whilst calling him racial slurs
he is a catholic NOT A CHRISTIAN. CHRISTIANS TALK ABOUT JESUS - HE DID NOT MENTION JESUS NOT EVEN ONE TIME.
Thank you Mark for sharing your faith! We are all here to be our best self! You are helping a lot of people! God bless you! 🙏
Thank you
Love that he shares his faith !!
Didn’t think it was possible but just became an even bigger fan of Mark! 🙏🏽🙌🏽
I have never seen a more competent respectful mainstream media interviewer. So well done.
Love! Love this!! …
so refreshing to hear this on a public platform 💕💕
Love everything about this clip. Much respect to Mark and Samantha for this wonderful interview.
God bless you Mark Walberg! I have been a fan of yours since you were Markie Mark! Great singer, great actor, and now I find out you are a great Catholic! I am an Italian woman and a devout Catholic. I got away from the church for many years. God called me back and I look forward to going each week. Don't pressure family. I go alone. I love the Hallow app. God bless you and your family 🙏🏼
What !! This is so great on national television Our Catholic Faith shared by such a hard working great actor like Mark W. !! Love it thank you 😊 ❤

@@ayoolukoga9829 thanks for YOUR opinion, You are fAR from the truth , you have no idea what it is to a Catholic Jesus is my LORD and my Savior. End of Conversation.
Thanks
I loved Father Stu. Great film that brought me closer to my faith with God
I saw it and it’s good
I was pleasantly surprised to find the Today Show featuring Mark Wahlberg talking so boldly yet simply about our beautiful Catholic Faith! Inspirational! I already knew about Mark’s faith but didn’t expect to see it main stream. We need to see more of this across the board! May God reward you!🙏🙏🙏
So proud of Mark and his example to his family and to the world. Thank you Mark! Keep being faithful to Jesus. ❤
I heard about the Hallow app through Mark and absolutely love everything about it especially the meditation portion.
Mark Wahlberg é um Homem de Deus. Muito inspiradora essa sua entrevista. Fantástica.
I love how outspoken he is about being Catholic 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 we need more and more like him!!! Thank you Mark, may God bless you and keep doing amazing things
As a catholic this means alot seeing how he uses his platform .. God bless him
It makes me happy that the Today show made this a segment on their show! To my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ happy lent and may God bless you!
It's nice to see as a Catholic myself and Irish.. we are getting stronger. We have always got Ashe's on forehead. Peace coola boola
You know one of the things my mom is proud of doing is keep us in the church and showing us the love of God. It’s that stays with me and protects me even when I’m far from home. ❤
Amen!!!! May God always bless this man and his beautiful family 😇❤️
Live out in Vegas and am so happy you are here!!
one of my all time favorite actors. his movie The Other Guys was an integral part of my childhood & I still watch it again & again every now and then. God bless Mark & God bless the world.
I am so proud of him and I'm sure our Father Almighty is proud of him too 🙏
So inspiring. God bless everyone specially in these times.
Prayers & Blessings to you all during your Lenten journey! +++
Awesome! Mark. Stay enouraged and be blessed my brother. It's great to see a man embrace his faith publicly. Inspiring!
Cheers Mark. Hello from Philippines
Amazing man, this is why Mark has always been my favorite!
Teary eyed. How beautifully refreshing
this was encouraging to me today!
Wow for Ash Wednesday i walked to church with my mother nephews and daughter and it was challenging because I walk with a cane I have a bad back and getting surgery soon. I never felt so excited and faithful I was so happy to be able to go to mass and to hear and see this man speak makes me feel so amazing! Thank you mark for your words! 💕💕
Take care with your back and stay strong
@@bvokey8842 thank you so much! I have so much faith that everything will go well. This Wednesday is the day! 🙏🏼
Stay strong and faithful.
@F it did thank God now just have to get better. I am in pain but i have faith I’ll be okay. Thank you so much! ❤️
The priest doesn't care that you have physical disabilities, he just wants your money. You're so brainwashed that you'd risk falling and injuring yourself even more just to go to a church. That's so very sad.
God bless you Mark and my family. February 20, 2024 and 3rd surgery. Texting you difficult but and have a prayers. Praise GOD ❤
I just really really really love seeing and hearing a celebrity speak about God and the importance of having faith, fasting, etc. Unfortunately it's uncommon to see this is the celebrity world. God bless you Mark.
I agree, God saves not the saved, but the sinners. Thank you Mark for that.
Hmmmm... God's NOT saving anyone !! People SAVE THEMSELVES of their own volition and " convince " themselves they are being " spoken to " !! Doctors call it schizophrenia !! 🤔🙄
I went to my church for Ash Wednesday and was so happy to see that the church was packed and that they have to open the hall, and that was packed as well. It is good to know that people come together in the name of God. I just hope they come with good intentions if you know what I mean, but still it is good to see that it was packed. To God be the glory.
I had no idea he had a strong Faith
makes me like him more 🌹
This is so inspiring. My prayer right there!
Love you, brother Mark!!!
🙏❤️🙏 this is amazing ✝️
What a BOSS! Not afraid of his faith.
Love him!
Wow... something new here. A TV station giving time to talk about Catholic faith??? Amen!!! This is inspiring. Hoping to hear/watch more of this.
This reminded me to go to church today. Big day today.
