What a testimony it is to be free from pagan popish Rome and all its hell destined rituals that have destroyed the souls of men an women. All praise, glory and honour to the great God of our salvation the Lord Jesus Christ.
This godly man reminds me of my days in England(Wales) at the Bible College where I met wonderful men and women of God who were Born of the Spirit of God, living by faith in JESUS ABOVE. I was a Catholic, and knew nothing about the Bible even though I would look at it growing up. But because Christ showed me mercy, I was convicted by the Holy Spirit, and at 17 I gave my heart to HIM who died for me. I am 70 now and although I went back to the CC for awhile, I came to realize that to stay in the CC was to frustrate God's plan for my life. We are not all meant to be Roman Catholics or Protestants, or whatever, but to be born from above, and to walk with God in Christ, and to be filled with the Holy Spirit. No denomination or church has it all figured out, but Christ is Complete, and in Him we live and have our being. I love this former priest's testimony. I will get on their web site and share with whoever is on that site. Thank you Richard for being courageous and following Christ into the WORD, and seeing the reality of those wonderful JEWISH Scriptures both OLD and NEW.
I was considering about becoming a Priest but the more I learned about the Bible, the more I realized that the Catholic beliefs were so far from truth that it was literally sickening. I still keep asking myself why did a church that could have done so much good in leading people to Jesus, the sacrificial Lamb, did just the opposite and led them to Mary. Why????
I came from Roman Catholic works slavery to the glorious light faith in Jesus alone through a much longer and more convoluted path, and I wasn't a priest, but I continue to pray for Catholics and many are coming out by the chaos and disillusionment from this latest pope. Let us pray that when they leave, they land in the arms of Jesus!
I currently am a Catholic. Born in 1952. I would like to leave, but I feel like I have to walk through a landmine field before I can walk out. Can you give a more thorough explanation about how you left? Thank you.
Here is Brother Richard's testimony, ua-cam.com/video/u4WRPv1umZI/v-deo.html . I believe it covers most of his story on how he God saved him from sin when he was a priest and how he left the church. He also wrote a book about it that should be available at bereanbeacon.org I hope this are emboldened to follow God where ever He leads you. It is quite traumatic for many people to leave the Roman Catholic Church. Some never find God and some reject God thinking the RCC reflects God real character when it doesn't. I lost a cousin who gave up altogether on God leaving the RC Church and rejecting God. It was a hard thing to attend his funeral knowing where he is now. I pray that God will comfort you through His Holy Spirit and lead you to a real, personal and powerful relationship with Him through God the Son, Jesus, Who died for you in order to save you from your sins knowing you could not save yourself but needed a one time Sacrifice to cover all your sins. Please, comment on that video when you watch it. I would like to know what you think of it and Richard's journey to spiritual freedom.
@@ChristianVoice08 I think I might have viewed that already, but thanks anyway. I was curious how Jacques Lefave left. I wonder what the grace was that finally pushed him out the door. I think about it every day. I will watch the video - possibly again - and I promise to get back to you. I just woke up 15 minutes ago. Thank you again!!!
@@ronaldkulas5748 hi, if you're interested I will tell you mine....over yrs I realized that christians outside the RCC would go to heaven....I searched for the prophecy in Revelation etc.....I came to dislike the hierarchy but still went to mass until I realized that francis was a heretic so I quit going.....shortly after I was still saying rosaries etc., but there came a time when the Holy Spirit opened my mind and saw that the RCC was false right from its very beginning......I felt so free...it was amazing...I threw everything catholic in the bin, no qualms.......I am still learning but I have the Holy Spirit guiding me.....yay !
What a loving, gracious God we have! For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, Not of works, lest any man boast. (Eph. 8,9).How I thank and praise God for the Testimonies these men give concerning the Holy Spirits work in their lives, bringing them to faith in Jesus Christ ALONE. It's ALL of God's precious grace through the faith He gives us to believe in the "finished Work of Jesus Christ"and not in anything we can do by our own works and effort! May God bless all these men for their courage to walk away from a vocation based on tradition, yet fraught with, and based in, the lies of man and Satan. The Catholic Church is not the only one based on traditions and the works of men or the lies of the enemy. Our Salvation, the righteousness of Jesus Christ imputed to us, our Justification, Sanctification, the sealing and indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and future glorification are ALL FREE GIFTS from our Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, by the witness by the the Holy Spirit to us, as we Believe in Jesus Christ and His beautiful Good News! Praise God for He is sooo Good, and His mercies are new each and every morning. Faith Alone, in Christ Jesus Alone, What Grace! What love! ALL of God! May God Bless all of you! None of you that still have breath, are void of His love or His precious promise to save you. May God Himself bring to each of you the Truth and Grace that came by and through Jesus Christ, His Only Begotten Son. Again, God Bless!
I am in complete awe of The Lord, why He chose to save me; why he pulled me out of the Catholic church when so many remain! This video is an immense blessing from the Most High father God!
So sweet to my heart to see the joy on Richard's face that they left all that they knew for the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord!
PRAISE JESUS BECAUSE HE SAVES YOU,YOU ARE NOT A PRISONER OF SIN ANYMORE,..PARAISE GOD WITH THAT,,.THE GOD OF THIS WORLD IS SATAN I BELIEVE THAT,JESUS OPENED MY EYES AND MIND TOO..
At 47:58 the ONLY way to be saved is through repentance through the Lord Jesus Christ. By confessing your sins, admitting your sins, and asking the Lord Jesus into your heart THEN you are saved and your reading on Ephesians is SPOT ON well said!
No George, you disobey the Biblical commandments and those of Jesus. Mere mental assent and confessions are not salvific! I have posted a video on this subject, "The Demons Believe in Jesus, So What if You Do Too?" And FYI, we are not Protestants! Our denominations PREDATE Roman Catholicism!
they call us heretics and that we make up the stuff up! they are thought to discredit the bible! I have been called many names for telling truth but it is worth it!
I am a victim of few deaf Catholicisms in my ex-school, New York School for the Deaf when they hated me to be a Reform Jew in 1962 to 1966. They did illegally write, "KKJ" (Kill the King of Jews) while most deaf Protestants respected me when they explained me to learn about our Lord Jesus Christ. Since 1974 I am a follower of Jesus Christ. Amen!
Thank you Holy Spirit for the gift of knowledge, wisdom and guidance given to your servant for the purpose of telling the truth and for the salvation of the people.
I became a Christian and converted after being harassed by demons (yes they are real). I ended crying out to Jesus Christ to save me in my bedroom, there followed a full repentance of all my sins to Him alone (on my bedroom floor). He washed me clean. I spent 35 years in the Catholic church as my mum brought me up Catholic but after I began this journey with Christ I have been pulled out of the Catholic Church, and no more demons. My mum is still in Catholicism but I am praying for her daily. Thank you Brother Bennett for your work. I am praying for you and your Ministry. Glory to God in the Highest.
Praise Jesus. I find it so sad that on the talk shows and tv shows about demonic activity, there are so many Catholics being oppressed. They seek counsel and people come and bless their homes and the demons return. The psychics on the radio are often Catholic as well as the others offering exorcism services. Yet, they are the first to admit that the demons return. I praise God that when He delivers us from demonic oppression and washes us clean from sins, the demons stay away.
Pope changed bible verses like the 4th commandment and the second.as they are written in Exodus 20.God said not to make images and kneel down to them.by taking the second out the pope made the 3rd leek Sunday holy.the fourth commandment keep Holy the Sabbath day was changed to Sunday.....open your eyes people.Jesus is coming soon,He has to find us ready.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN [1 John 2: 19 KJV] “…They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.” [2 Peter 1: 20 KJV] “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”
If sacraments don't work, then how can you be a Christian? You cannot be baptised, you cannot take part in the Lord's supper. Then what do you do? Only grace? Then what was the need for the Incarnation? Many priest are leaving the Roman Catholic Church every day of the year. That does not disprove the teachings of the Catholic Church? My experience shows that the Roman Catholic Church is the most reasonable and common sensical Church in the world.
+Albert Devasahayam The Bible does not teach salvation by works (sacraments). In fact, in Ephesians 2:8-9 Paul explicitly states that salvation is THE FREE GIFT OF GOD NOT OF WORKS! As for your experience, ARE YOU GOD??? You just blasphemed if you think that your tradition or experience is the final authority on theology or religion. GOD SAYS that His Word if the full and final authority on all things spiritual. His Word is directly contradicted by the Roman Catholic catechism, teachings, dogmas (the magisterium). So, either the Bible is false which means Roman Catholicism is false as well OR some of the Roman Catholic Church teachings are false but the Bible is still true. You are stuck in an all or nothing situation, either the Bible is true and your church false or ALL IS FALSE. How are you saved? Jesus said to surrender to Him NOT to do anything. He said YOU CANNOT be saved. He said that in John 3. Jesus said that for man it is impossible to be saved but that NOTHING is impossible for Him. You need to be saved from your sins. If you were the transformed new creature that doesn't sin, why would you still be sinning? How do I know you are sinning??? Because you are claiming you are doing the sacraments, one of which is confession. A man who is a new creature and isn't sinning regularly would never need confession or absolution. He would not be in fear for his soul at all times. Jesus said to call on Him for salvation not to do ANYTHING. Do you want to be a new man in Christ? Do you want to be free from sin? Or do you just want a religion...a church...a set of rituals and something to do every morning and on Sundays???
+ChristianVoice08For the first 300+/- years after Jesus left the Earth, the bible did NOT exist. There were scattered writings but most of Christianity was taught and passed on by word of mouth (oral tradition). The Catholic Church eventually gathered available writings, evaluated authenticity, and created what we today call the bible. Check out James: "Faith without WORKS is dead." Works flow from a faith that is authentic.Jesus said "Unless a man be born again of WATER and the spirit...: Water means baptism which qualifies as a works. Saved and never sinning? Jesus said "Even the just man falls seven times a day". Faith alone? Get "saved" and then go rob banks and kill people. Remember you still have faith in Jesus. Your "faith alone" will save you? You kidding?! Sin confession to a man (God’s representative) not needed? Jesus told the apostles “Whose sins you forgive are forgiven. Whose sins you retain are retained.” The apostles were the first priests, remember. If you have ANY unrepented sin whatever on your conscious, you cannot get into Heaven directly. That’s why there is a clean-up state called Purgatory. Bear in mind. God (Jesus) loves everyone unconditionally, but God does NOT save everyone unconditionally. What about the works of mercy Jesus taught about? Are you going to get faith and then sit around doing nothing? Where did Jesus state that works mean nothing, that you do not have to lift a finger after you have “Faith”? Jesus opened the possibility of Heaven to us by paying our spiritual cost but He did not guarantee everyone would get into Heaven. Faith proven by works is necessary. Do you pray? That is a “works”. Do you worship God with a group? That is a “works”. Can you just buy a bible, read it by yourself, and understand everything accurately? Why are there thousands of protestant denominations, and they do not agree with each other? Obviously, some or many of them have wrongly interpreted the bible. How many of them toss out the stuff they don’t like? How many of these denominations are interpreting the bible according to their personal likes without regard for historical accuracy? The Catholic Church teaches the fullness of God’s revelation. You Protestants teach only portions, the parts that you personally agree with. Try getting Baptists, Methodists, and Episcopalians in a room together and make them agree with each other. Can you do that? Are you all not praying to the same God? Using the same Bible? Before you or anyone starts criticizing the teachings and practices of which the Catholic Church is the care taker, study in depth WHY each teaching is promoted. Go read the early Church fathers. To presume that you (or any single person) can accurately interpret the total Bible by his own powerful little brain is a serious presumption. The consequences can be spiritually fatal. The New Testament is a highly summarized account of God’s teachings. No one can pick out only a handful of favorite things out of it and be saved. The Bible taken literally contradicts itself in numerous places. How does your self righteous brain interpret those passages? By the way, be sure you are distinguishing between dogma and religious practices. The dogmas are required unchangeable beliefs. The practices are usually optional and can be changed as needed. The sacraments as taught by the Catholic Church have their basis in Jesus’ teachings. Every one of them. If you cannot find them in Jesus’ teaching, try asking a knowledgeable Catholic. There are teaching programs that you can attend (without making any commitment). You owe it to yourself to keep learning about God and what He has made available to us.
+RockSlide You don't appear to know anything about history let alone Church history. THE ENTIRE BIBLE existed complete before 73 AD! In fact, we know this because no book mentions the sack of Jerusalem and the Temple being destroyed in the past tense. The early Church writers and teachers like Irenaus quote over 90% of the New Testament books in their letters. They did so out of abundance of caution and not creating any new doctrines but trying to simply communicate what was already given. Too bad your false church didn't take that stance. Now there were additional books that were not Holy scripture that were ignored and so at a later ecumenical council, some were publicly identified as false books or not God-breathed like Maccabees which is historical but not Holy writ. Quit spewing false propaganda and get educated, dude.
My answer to a RCC apologist Yes, all the names of the holidays you mention are not in the Bible only because they were man made. They are all tied to pagan worship. There is nothing in the Bible for us to make them a big deal and for us to make them special days of worship. Easter for me is resurrection day. And as a Christian, every day is a special day and held in reverence. I give full reverence to my God. Christ Jesus. Christmas was made around the winter solstice for Constantine to appease the pagans and to add bodies to the so-called church of that time. If anything Jesus was probably born around September October for they will be no shepherds in the field tending sheep in the cold December. Constantine was instrumental in inventing most of what you practice, this to was to appease the pagans. I.E purgatory, limbo, the mass and phony communion sacrificing Christ daily when he said it is finished, the veneration of Mary, when she in the Bible said she to needed a savior, lent, ascension of Mary into heaven, rosary beads when the Bible says we have one mediator between man and God and it is Christ Jesus and not Mary, and a slew of others made up things and places without any explanation unless the scriptures are twisted, and you people are very good at that. There is nothing you can say or do to change my mine of your pagan worship. I see your church as a pompous circle of men and woman attired in man-made garments to make one look holy, Along with them loving and enjoying the accolades of man. Kiss my ring attitude. Yes, I am prejudiced and against all RCC teaches, only because I know many in my family and others are burning in hell because of your cultish teachings. I came out from among them 40 years ago and only after much prayer and the reading my Bible. This is when I realized 40 things I was practicing as a RCC could not be found in the Bible. So count me out, for my soul is all I have and not handing over to a cult. I will stay out of the RCC until the very end my life. You too know the truth but you like the accolades of man. The office of the pope is pure heresy. It is a proven fact Peter never was in Rome. And if there be an office of the pope I would say Paul was much more of candidate then Peter. Paul had to correct Peter even at that time for he was convoluting God's word with the conversion of Jews to Christianity. Where he had to inform Peter they were not to hang onto Jewish tradition. We both can debate our feelings but I know I am correct. I would suggest you listen to the teachings of a Jacob Presch who I just came across who will gladly debate you using the greek, the Hebrew and yes, latin proving you are a disciple of error. Upon this rock, I will build my church this too is a misinterpretation when you pass by all three languages. I feel I did all my searching and found out the RCC is not the way for me but Jesus is the way truth and the life. Even as a young boy your church never met my needs. I could never understand in praying to plaster of parish statues could help me and clearly defined in the 10 commandments as idols. So I say goodbye. ua-cam.com/video/arehe8SfSAM/v-deo.html
1 Peter 2:9-10 King James Version (KJV) 9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; 10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. King James Version (KJV)
I was born again last November and it blew open the doors to my understanding of Gods infinite love for each one of us and grace extended through His Holy Spirit. I would venture to say I was not a good Catholic as I did not embrace many of their practices. I only married a Catholic man and converted because it was important to him. However I did want a personal relationship with Abba Father. He has given it to me and my insides are bursting to share this freedom in Christ with others. What books do you recommend for me regarding the Catholic church to share my husband? He and his whole family are cradle Catholics.
I am humbled that Yahweh is opening the spiritual eyes of those in the RCC. Seek the Word of Yahweh and Yeshua not the words of man. Yahweh's Holy Spirit in Yeshua abiding in us, will guide and lead us in ALL Wisdom Truth and in Righteousness.
im catholic but i read the bible there are many things that catholic do that is not in the bible...it took 11 yrs before i convinced myself that im in the wrong path now im out ✌✌✌
i left catholicism just last year....i may not be good in english since im asian and i only finished high school but im telling the truth........catholic is a false church....the birth of jesus is not written in the bible and not written to grave images and put it in the church and make prayers...the only prayer written in the bible is our father but catholics made up hail mary,station of the cross what else the prayer at 6:00 pm......God opened my eyes and no one can convince me now that im in the wrong path
I resently noticed that the word, "Christian" is not in the name of the Catholic Church, instead the word, Roman is in the name of The Catholic Church. If the romans and the jews killed Jesus, why that name is there? Most people don't realize that. You're the few chosen by God to escape that false religion.God bless you.
Cidalia Martins They call me, "Carmen". However, my legal name is, "Carmen Amonte Sanchez". Jesus was born, raised and died in Jerusalem. Solomon"s Templo was in Jerusalem. Why The Catholic Church is on the The Seven Hills of Rome? That's where The Book Of Revelation places The Catholic Church and calls it, "The Great Harlot". If you don't see this, then you need to ask God to open your spiritual eyes to His Word. And don't forget to ask it in Jesus's name, not in Virgin Marry's name.
Your comment is a great blessing for him. Please keep Richard and his wife in your prayers. They need prayer for their health and healing. Richard has continued this fight into his 80s with his wife doing the same never retiring. Please, pray that God will grant them the health to have quality of life until He chooses to take them home.
nix, How about posting that passage from the Bible where God created the Roman Catholic Church. And don't misquote the passage about Peter as we already posted an entire video explaining the truth about apostolic succession and Who is Peter. So, you need a passage that establishes a new church with new priests that CONTRADICTS SAINT PAUL when he said that old things had passed away and that the old priesthood and sacrificial system were shadows of the New Covenant that Jesus had brought with His ONCE AND FOR ALL SACRIFICE of Himself that no man was worthy to offer to God. ua-cam.com/video/PUubvpEtKDo/v-deo.html
I was set free by the biblical scriptures from Catholicism (a priest could or would not explain why I haven't Learned these scriptures, after he gave me the Catholic Bible & told me to read & then come back for more discussion. The Bible he gave had the same scriptures! Praise God! I pray God will use this video for His Glory! Love in Christ Jesus!
What a wonderful video this is. I am going to buy this book for REVERENCE use. Thank you so much all of you for your testimonies. Thank you GOD for bringing these wonderful souls to safety with you. I feel so happy and inspired. I would not have wanted to lose any one of these inspiring people and they will in turn help so many of us still being deceived! Praise God with whom we have EVERYTHING you have only to know him through his wonderful word as these men have told us.
All faiths?! Including Muslim. Buddhist? Zoroastrianism? Atheist (that's a faith). If so you are saying the if no objective truth, just whatever we want to believe? That's man making God in his own image. Just saying, you might want to be careful with that approach.
Please remember "the end" (Hebrew correct translation) means to reach a goal. When one reaches a goal, we reach the end. The Sacrificial law was the shadow pointing to Yeshua who is the substance. Yeshua fulfilled the sacrificial system Once and for all, and the High Priesthood.
I was stubborn stupid catholic. Those horrific idols, rosaries, books I was hoarding in my house. When I was donating to the church I never felt happy. I started searching for real happiness and peace. Finally I started reading BIBLE and I got rid of all those things from my house and invited JESUS in my life and in my heart. Now. With help of Holy Spirit I will change my tradition bound family. First time in my entire life I'm so happy and peaceful.
May God richly bless you and keep you in His truth and His Way, His Son Jesus alone. Your family will be a challenge but they are your family. We will pray with you for their salvation. It is the Holy Spirit that must draw them and save them. May you grow in the grace and peace and the Word of God.
What a wonderful video Richard Bennett, thank you for sharing your testimony and those of your friends, you messages were heartfelt and genuine in truth. God bless you.
Yes, Richard gets attacked because some false teachers have converted to Catholicism but that counterclaim is asinine when you consider how many lay Roman Catholics leave their church even those that are not saved by Jesus. The priests don't matter, it is the millions of Catholics leaving that should be of note. So many Catholics see the bankrupt religious system from the inside not even knowing everything going on in the clergy circles and they just bail like sailors abandoning a sinking ship being tossed around in an open sea. They regard it better to take their chances outside any ship than go down with that sinking one. While adherents of every religion may abandon ship, none seem to have such losses as Roman Catholicism. That should be enough to silence the RC apologists, but it doesn't. They think they are patching holes in the hull.
You're among MANY who left the RCC, Kevin. Please get into a Bible study and learn the stunning truths that have been kept from Catholics for many centuries. There are some Bible studies online.
brother, follow Jesus and Jesus alone! read the bible and don't listen to many humans! pray to God to let the holy spirit teach guide and correct you! many will leave you but you are not alone at all! we your family love you and care for you ! May the Lord bless you and continue to learn and be glad UA-cam the light and freedom in Christ!'may peace be with you!
Please pray for me, I am trying SO HARD to make a decision about whether to leave Catholicism or not. I feel incredibly guilty. I am constantly going to Confession because I miss Mass, because of my confusion and illness.
Hey there, I'll be praying for you. I know a bit of the feeling you must be going through. The struggle of such a huge change can be incredibly overwhelming. Though you are likely aware, the mass and confession aren't really Biblical concepts. Rather, they are traditions introduced over years and years. But for me, if i miss church sometimes, i do feel guilty. But that's honestly because i sometimes CHOOSE not to go. But you, if you have an illness or something that is truly keeping you from church, God can hear you from wherever you are. He knows you're sick and possibly unable. If you feel bad, confess it to God. We have access to Him through His Son Jesus. He is loving, forgiving, and surely understanding of our limitations. He made us, after all ha. We don't need a 2nd mediator to tell us we are forgiven or to give us a list of commands to achieve forgiveness (however small the command). We have the blood of Jesus. The value of this blood /sacrifice is beyond all works. We have been bought and our sin forever covered. All we gotta do is ask the Lord. Continue to pray, to seek God, to read His Word, and be encouraged. God bless you!
I pray for you. Trust God alone. Only Jesus the only Mediator and our Saviour. Only Jesus who forgive our sin, not any ritual or even mass. May God bless you...
leave Catholicism, your leaving a religion, not Jesus, they are 2 different things. GOD is not about Guilt. Your sins are to be given to GOD not a man.
It's not God making you feel guilty. We are saved by faith alone in Christ alone. Jesus said that not all that call Him Lord will see the kingdom of heaven, but only those who obey His Father. All He said, He was told to say by the Father, and all he did (miracles) He saw the Father do. God says HE is God, and you confess your sins to Him (He is the only one whoy can forgive you). The Bible does not teach what RCC teaches. Who are you going to follow? The RCC or God? The Catholic bible is changed, and God's word says in you change His word, you are cursed. The RCC bible took out the 2nd comandment, split another in half (so there's still 10 Commandments). The 2nd Commandment forbids the making of an image of anything on eaerth, to pray to an image, or to worship an image. Yet, I"ve seen Catholics kneeling and praying to a statue of Mary. The bible does not permit you to pray to anyone, but God alone. If you pray to some dead Christian/saint, you're praying to an idol. The bible says the dead know nothing till they return with Jesus in their glorified bodies to take the Christians out of this world. READ THE BIBLE. The New Testament is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, so a good place to start. I have prayed for you, and I pray your health has improved if that's God's will. God be with you. Ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit. The truth will truly set you free. SCRIPTURALLY, rcc IS not a Christian religion. It is not true. You can't change the bible, or add seven books to it that are not backed up by an apostle.
Another good one, john 6 29: the work of god is to beleive in the one he sent....so faith alone is what he wants. To beleive what yeshua did for us. Wh you believe and have real fath, you actions wil change. Baptising n his holy name is extremly ppreciatd by the father (adult bapt.).
priesthood was ended with Jesus Christ because he was the last priest....the role of a priest is only to made an offering to the altar and God ended this rite after the Lord Jesus Christ crucified, died on the cross to save us and cleanst us by the power of his blood....
I am not even baptized in Catholics. I was baptized in one of Lutheran Church. I have used to be praying in Catholic Church for almost one year ( after i moved to another town because of works ) . So, one day , my mother was really sick , so something across my mind that i should pray for my mom by Rosary . I did it , and it works at all. Even i have never had bread during the sacrament, but i believe in God. My faith in Him is never changed. God listen to our heart. God answer my pray, my mother is health now. So, i have conclusion , only the Spirit of God drive me to Him. I dont care about the type of Church, but when i pray i believe He drive me come to Him. Because , when i was kid , i was told Church is building to collect people who have faith in Him. So indeed, person or people who have faith in Him is the main one. Near my stay, three Churches ( Catholic Church, Anglican Church, Preysbeterian Church). I have no idea, why my feet step on to Catholic Church. But , i always believe the pray and songs i sing to God during the mass. Thankfully, my heart my faith in Him is not change. Thank you🙏😇
Thank you Yahweh that all these people woke up to see there is no priest in the new testament. Only Jesus is our High Priest so this wonderful, now they are see the truth behind the Lies. We don't follow traditions of men!
thank you jesus for richard may he be blessed in his ministry for your name,we really need you to come to ireland to help people in there unbelief ,,,,bless you again in the name of jesus
Matthew 24:4-5 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) 4 Jesus answered them, “Beware that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah!’[a] and they will lead many astray.
Here are some early church Fathers writings that were brushed aside at the council of Trent in order to sustain power of the church I have many more up to 1200AD before Augustine and Hippo should you be interested as many people think only Luther believed in faith alone utter rubbish St. Clement - St. Clement of Rome (? - ~101 AD) “Similarly we also, who by His will have been called in Christ Jesus, are not justified by ourselves, or our own wisdom or understanding or godliness, nor by such deeds as we have done in holiness of heart, but by that faith through which Almighty God has justified all men since the beginning of time. Glory be to Him, forever and ever, Amen.”- St. Clement of Rome (? - ~101 AD) Approx 60AD ” Ambrose (337-397 ) “To this end has His Grace and Goodness been formed upon us in Christ Jesus, that being dead according to works, redeemed through faith and saved by grace, we might receive the gift of this great deliverance.” Ambrose (337-397 AD), Letter 76 to Irenaeus, a layman Thank you brother Richard for leading people to the true Christ
Andrew, would you mind replying to me and letting me see the quotes up to the 13th century? I had seen a few years ago another video that clearly showed the RCC went off the rails somewhere around the 13th century, and that up to that time there was a lot of truth within the RCC. I am Catholic, but I am seriously thinking about leaving for Gospel based church.
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. It seems man has a boundless imagination as far as screwing things up; despite clear instructions to the contrary.
Oh but,,,,, Following is an excerpt from an address given by the Cardinals to Pope Pius III, and is preserved in the National Library in Paris, Folio No. 1068, Vol. 2, pp. 650-651: "Of all the advice that we can offer your holiness we must open your eyes well and use all possible force in the matter, namely to permit the reading of the gospel as little as possible in all the countries under your jurisdiction. Let the very little part of the gospel suffice which is usually read in mass, and let no one be permitted to read more. So long as people will be content with the small amount, your interest will prosper; but as soon as the people want to read more, your interest will fail. The Bible is a book, which more than any other, has raised against us the tumults and tempests by which we have almost perished. In fact, if one compares the teaching of the Bible with what takes place in our churches, he will soon find discord, and will realize that our teachings are often different from the Bible, and oftener still, contrary to it.?
Some of the things like piety,conteplativeness,retreats etc..i can live with,but, the many other things arent biblical, the largest percent of catholics dont want to hear it.
Hebrews 10 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
1 Peter 2.9 kjv 9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
This man has read the Bible, there is no Biblical authority to baptize babies, and baptism Biblically, is full emersion . Here is an example of "come out of her, my people".....this man has seen the light.
I was born into the Catholic Church and growing up l was confused. When l was a young man l was feeling so sad and empty and went to mass. Absolutely no joy and peace. 2001 again l feeling sad and empty and a friend took me to a Christian church and finally l got filled. Peace joy and hope and absolute truth. One afternoon in a Christian church outweigh all the masses. I never went back to that evil rcc. I get to read my own bible because of the men who stood up to false church and was tortured and burned. I will not forget. I remember a girl was sick and a Catholic priest gave her last rites and said your sins are forgiven. So the girl was happy and went out to party and sin because she believed her salvation was finished. What a lie. I will not forget......
Thank you for your testimony. It is helpful to me because I am Catholic, and I too am trying to figure out what to do. In my heart I think I know I must leave, but I am waiting for the HS to show me what to do. It is not easy.
@@ronaldkulas5748 I am born and raised catholic. But in march 2019, God opened my eyes to this deceptive organization. I left this church and found salvation in CHRIST ALONE.
Svetla, actually in Christianity, the priesthood of all Christians is implied with Jesus being the ONE AND ONLY Highpriest as you point out. You are right but there is a little more. Jesus is the only priest with authority to offer Sacrifice and He offered it past tense as He is the Highpriest and as you know the only priest that offered the sacrifices of animals to God Himself in the Temple was the Highpriest not the regular priests. As I have challenged Nix, show me where there is an established priesthood in the New Covenant other than every man being able to go directly to God without any earthly priest (being in effect a priest of his own life). I see no way he can prove that from Holy Scripture. Any time a religion wants to have priests, it is to restore the priestcraft of old days when the priests lorded over the people claiming the power over life, health, and salvation. This is anti-Christ, as you point out, since Hebrews explains that Jesus alone is the Highpriest after the order of Melchizedek not Levi. And it says that He merely points to His own Sacrifice, His own blood as a witness in favor of a Christian's good standing with God and their righteousness. They ignore that His Word says that men's righteousness (all our works it says) are as menstrual rags (Isaiah 64:6) and therefore unable to even aid in saving us. I fear some people have been so long in bondage to a system that they no longer question the bars that imprison them. I am glad that God has set me free of sin and free of religion and free of men lording over me. I praise God that He has said that He is my ONLY MAster and He is a wonderful Master. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. I may struggle with sin and evil but I do not have to struggle with ten thousand commandments of men on top of that like Orthodox Jews, Catholics, Greek orthodox, and the cults like the Mormons and Witnesses. I have a single easy to live by set of standards laid down by Jesus Himself so clear that CHILDREN understand and obey when He saves them from their sins. ALL PRAISE, HONOR AND GLORY TO JESUS, THE LAMB WHO WAS SLAIN WHO LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR US. Praise His Holy Name.
I watched the video that you recommended. It was one of the best, IMO, for me and my desire to look outside the RCC. I left a much longer comment to you on another video.
God (Yahweh our Elohim -our Creator) and Yeshua our HaMochiach (Yeshua - Jewish/Hebrew name and HaMoshiach - the Messiah) told us to obey His commandments. To follow the example of Yeshua. This is the WAY, the TRUTH (given to us by Yeshua from Abba Yahweh), and the LIFE. (Eternal Life). Our walk in Righteousness and "obedience" is done not by "flesh and blood" ,(called flesh works -ritualism), but by the power of the Holy Spirit of Yahweh (God) within us through Yeshua our Messiah.
Luke 22:19-20 19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. please note he said do thisin remembrance of me . also is says in Ephesians Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. its say in romans Romans 10:9-13 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” so 1 its not by works its by faith alone 2 Grace from God given from him alone if you are born again meaning of spirit A change in your heart you will do the good works because he dwells in you. read hebrews 6 it will point you in the right direction not looking back but forward to Christ. Amen God bless all of you in Yeshewa name
the Problem with ALL Organizations is that the Rank and File have NO IDEA what is Going on in Upper Management /// but defend the organization based on what they see and know ,, which is Directly Opposite to the CEO's Agenda
Exactly, when Jesus says call no man "Father" as a title and they tell you to call fallen men "Father"...and Jesus says He is the Mediator and they give you a false Mary to worship as mediatrix...and Jesus says to have no idols or gods before God and they tell you to pray to dead men and women...and Jesus acknowledges that worship of ANYONE but God is idolatry and Rome says to worship...I'm sorry, VENERATE statues and dead men's bones and and and ad nauseum... At least the Mexican Catholics are honest about their worshiping of the Virgin of Guadalupe as actually being worship and that veneration is worship... Jesus says that those who truly love Him keep His commandments, and Rome breaks every one they can and encourages the poor Catholic to join in disobedience of the Son of God Who is God.
Scripture is quite clear that the Holy Spirit is separate from Jesus as the Father is separate from Jesus while all three are God and God is ONE. You need only look to the Baptism of Jesus. Further, Jesus stated fell me that I am flesh. Spirit hath not flesh," when He appeared to the disciples after His resurrection. The Holy Spirit is that Spirit that is completely Spirit with no flesh as it lives in all Christians. It is Jesus living in me as Jesus cannot live bodily in me but God said that He would inhabit His children. So being God, the Holy Spirit fits the bill and is Jesus in me though He is not Jesus in the flesh.
Grace is all you need; with the free and undeserved gift from our Lord Jesus Christ, being a good Christian is just something you will want to do to please God, remember all of our good works are like filthy rags to God, but like Richard Bennett said works do not save only grace does. So many people are caught up in doing good works to supplement the work that Jesus done for us at Calvary on the Cross, Sin is already paid for. Galatians Chapter 5: verse 4 : Christ has become of not effect to you, whoever of you are justified by the law; you are fallen from grace.
Nicodemus a Priest The RCC of that time came to Jesus by night and said we know you are from God, because know one could do the miracles you do if not from God. Jesus said to him you must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God. He said how is a man to be born again in his mothers womb. No catholic understands truth until he are she is ready to let go of the lie. Peter heard the truth and on the faith he spoke out you are the messiah. Jesus said upon this Rock i will build my church. Upon the faith of Peter , We can see that if you try to put the weight of the church on a human man it can not stand. Jesus alone is the vine and we ( each person is a branch of that church) God alone. If the catholic church is a true church why do the priest molest children and nuns, and when nuns get pregnant they kill the baby. There are videos of catholic testimonies from nuns that escape these crazy abusive churches. Repent and leave this false church believe the truth be born again and live.
Great point and biblically true. Jesus did NOT found His Church on the man who denied Jesus THREE TIMES!!! Let us get the fullness of the Roman Catholic claim: the very first pope denied Christ THREE TIMES and still remained the pope!!! RICH!!!! lol
Man... my whole family is Catholic. I got out of it a long time ago but then came back and sang in the Catholic church for a choir. But never actually followed everything. My mom and my grandma talk about praying the rosary and I just roll my eyes. I just don't know how to get my parents out of it... The church is a fallacy!
As per your report, 50 priests had left Holy Catholic Church for one reason or other but I am confused whether all the left priests live with all the human weaknesses or is it now they are next to angels of God. However, why didn't they take up necessary revolution if it is for good the church? Or is only because of their own personal reasons.
I don’t understand why Catholic believes crying and sad when someone stealing their idolatry...Many people broke their idolatry But God never punish them ..they never know the story of Balla and Moses
Why only protest against the teaching of the Catholic Church now? They should have done it while in the seminary. As priests they know that the basis of the church worship is in early Christian traditions and the Holy Bible which was not consolidated after many many years later.
God had not saved them in seminary. Every man is saved in GOD's time not ours. Sadly, many have to suffer through a lot before they listen to God and He saves them. Once God save them, their eyes are opened and they start seeing the problems with their false religion.
Yeah, kinda hard to square that with bishops who claim to be priests and can't have any wives in direct contradiction of Saint Paul...especially when claiming that Peter was the first pope.
This idea of priesthood began very early after the Apostles were gone. The early church fathers would have desired to fashion themselves after the pagan idea of priesthood, but with a Christian flavor. Here is the reality of the situation. The Apostles were focusing on something completely different. Their concern was getting as many devout Christians before the end of the age. They were not concerned about establishing churches to last far into the future. In fact, many of those churches did not last.
You're ,right, their concern was bringing the gospel and estabish churches. Paul established churches throughout Asia Minor, leaving some as the elders of those churches. Why was nothing said about priests in his letters to those churches? Everything you need to know about those who would be left in charge is in 1 Timothy 3. Read it. No mention of priests.
No, you're incorrect. The priesthood ended with the Hebrews and the end of the Old Testament. Jesus became the HIGH PRIEST of our faith and with such a mighty HIGH PRIEST, there is no need for any other priest. In the OT, God ordained priests to offer sacrifice to God on behalf of the believers there are no other priests mentioned in the NT except in reference to the Jewish priests alive during Jesus' time. Jesus offered the ultimate sacrifice so since His death and resurrection, there's no more need for any priest other than Jesus.
I can only plead, that one reads the Old Testament (the coming Salvation and the shadow of Yeshua our Messiah His Son who will bring this Salvation). The New Testament is the "manifestation" (of the shadow in the OT) of Yeshua our Kinsman Redeem, our Messiah, who came to redeem us with with his priceless Sacrifice, and brought to us the "free" Gift of Salvation of God, first to the Jew and then the Gentile. Yahweh has extended His "grace" to all. Praise our ONE Great Eternal Elohim, our Great King of the Heavens and the Earth and Yeshua His beloved Son.
a must read for catholics and Christians alike! read about the goddess Isis, learn about the religion Mithraism, and what pontificus maximus comes from! after reading this material I have to warn people to run out of the RCC and never turn back ever! repent and believe in the gospel ! faith alone in Christ saves
Svetla, if people will take the time to study, especially the occult and other Roman cults, they will find that out. They will find that the black vestments with white collar are from the cult of mithras which was a counterfeit of Jesus. Mithras was supposedly born of a virgin and represented by a bull. They met in secret in the catacombs of Rome. It was another spin off of the Cult of Nimrod (like cult of Tammuz or Damuzzi) and very close to the other Virgin birth cult of Rome at the time of Constantine. That other cult, the Mother-Son cult of Rome, was the reason that Constantine believed he could unite the Roman Empire under the Christian religion. He saw that Jesus being virgin born would mesh with the other two pagan cults or at least would superficially do so. The mithraic followers and mother-son cult members could worship with the Christians hiding their secret rites and rituals. However, the mithraic and other cult which ultimately worship the sun-god permeated and altered Roman Catholicism into the Pagan-Christian hybrid it is today right down to the mini-gods, prayer to saints, abstinence from meat, saint days, and the use of December 25th as Christ-Mass. Dec 25th is the birthday of Mithras in that cult NOT Jesus. Jesus was born in spring or summer or early fall. Shepherds don't take flocks out all night on the winter solstice. In addition to the vestments and colors from these other cults, the priesthood was the other thing brought in by paganism. Christians were all priests of their own salvation under the Highpriest forever, Jesus the Christ. However, pagan temples had a priest-class that held power over the people and controlled entire nations. That was introduced from paganism. Unfortunately, some Roman Catholics celebrate their pagan traditions as pagan claiming that such incorporation of heathen or pagan practice into Christianity is a good thing. I challenge anyone that is upset by the facts I have stated here to have the guts to put me to the test. Don't waste your typing calling me a liar, GO DO THE RESEARCH! Find out if I am lying. If you won't and if you just attack me, then, you know that I am telling the truth and you just want to make excuses and lie to avoid having to deal with these hard facts. If you attack me and do not check out the facts, you are not a Christian and you are not looking to serve Jesus Who says HE is the Truth, the Way, the Light and no one comes to God but by Him. When you argue for your sins, God lets you keep them...You just won't get to keep your soul! What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?
+ChristianVoice08 well we have to make them ! we have to open their eyes! and Isis? the mother of God? Isis aka Mary! how is it that they hold the same title?
+ChristianVoice08 brother I pray for all of us and all of them! for us to remain strong in Christ and for them to take the blinders off and start reading as to why we still speak against them even after the protestant reformation!
Yes, when God references the cult of Tammuz (cult of Dammuzzi-beer god of the middle east), He mentions the Queen of Heaven. The mother-god cult is reflected in Isis worship, cult of Nimrod and the Hindu triumvirate of gods. The mother-god cult or "Mother of God" cult comes from the cult of Nimrod, the first cult. In that cult Nimrod marries his mother claiming that she is "Mother of god" as she gave birth to him. It is the source of all such cults that mimic the Christian God, Jesus who was born of a woman but born fully God and fully man. The lines were so blurred with Marian worship in the middle age Roman Catholic church that Mohamed (who's mother was Catholic) was convinced and put in the Koran that the Christian god was Mary, Jesus and the father, not the true Christian Godhead of Jesus, Father and Spirit. The modern people are trapped in false religions just as in the middle ages because they do not know world history, church history or religious history. The pastors don't bother to learn let alone teach the people about the false cults of the world so that they know the errors from which false practices arose. Nevertheless, as you say, we must open peoples eyes with the facts and history and their hearts with the Gospel. We make no money from this. We do not get membership from this. We have nothing to gain by pulling people into the Light of Jesus except seeing people freed from their sins. It should SCARE Roman Catholics to see that there are only two reasons we would try and get them out of Roman Catholicism; 1. Roman Catholicism is what we say it is and its false pagan practices will prevent Catholics from being saved and entering heaven... OR 2. We are liars of satan himself trying to drag Catholics into chains and hell. Problem is, if they are already going to hell for pagan practices, why would we bother them. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, no satanist, no demonized person can say that "Jesus Christ of Nazareth, born of Mary and raised on the third day is my Master" and keep His commandments. If we were demonized sinners, lying, our lives and sins would expose us. We would not be telling Roman Catholics to obey Jesus's commandments and repent of their sins. We would not tell them to read the Bible. We would be offering some other false religious system to them. Only then would we be pulling them from God. When someone tells you to read and believe the Bible and obey it ALONE, they can hardly be of the world or of satan. Diabolical false teachers always offer you something other than the Bible and claim to be a source themselves. Christians on the other hand say, DO NOT LISTEN TO US, OBEY GOD, READ AND OBEY HIS WORD without offering ANYTHING ELSE! Only a true servant of God would hand you a Bible and say, "This is all you need. You don't even need me. You just need Jesus and He says that He is the Word and now you have It and Him in your hands."
You are correct - us humans DO know very little - but - we do know what the Written Word of God says - and that is what we are supposed to go on - and obey.
Wake up people and learn the truth. Jesus is the only High priest. No pope can save you, no sacrament can save you. Only the blood and grace of Jesus.
Are you willing to help a catholic on UA-cam?
Great testimony of these priests. I to am a former Roman Catholic by Grace I have been saved out of darkness and into his marvellous light.
You betrayed the Church and God himself.
What a testimony it is to be free from pagan popish Rome and all its hell destined rituals that have destroyed the souls of men an women. All praise, glory and honour to the great God of our salvation the Lord Jesus Christ.
Because Jesus is the only the Way, the Truth and the Life. The Holy Spirit opened their Blinded eyes. Praise the Lord!!!
To God be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Thank you for such wonderful testimonies of these men of God and for sharing with your understanding of the word.
This godly man reminds me of my days in England(Wales) at the Bible College where I met wonderful men and women of God who were Born of the Spirit of God, living by faith in JESUS ABOVE. I was a Catholic, and knew nothing about the Bible even though I would look at it growing up. But because Christ showed me mercy, I was convicted by the Holy Spirit, and at 17 I gave my heart to HIM who died for me. I am 70 now and although I went back to the CC for awhile, I came to realize that to stay in the CC was to frustrate God's plan for my life. We are not all meant to be Roman Catholics or Protestants, or whatever, but to be born from above, and to walk with God in Christ, and to be filled with the Holy Spirit. No denomination or church has it all figured out, but Christ is Complete, and in Him we live and have our being. I love this former priest's testimony. I will get on their web site and share with whoever is on that site. Thank you Richard for being courageous and following Christ into the WORD, and seeing the reality of those wonderful JEWISH Scriptures both OLD and NEW.
I was considering about becoming a Priest but the more I learned about the Bible, the more I realized that the Catholic beliefs were so far from truth that it was literally sickening. I still keep asking myself why did a church that could have done so much good in leading people to Jesus, the sacrificial Lamb, did just the opposite and led them to Mary. Why????
whY YOU ASK? Its simple, Jesus never started the Catholic church, Satan did. Satan counterfeits everything God does to confuse humanity. Wake up!
Because they were NEVER a part of the true Church! Pagan from the start!
RCC is a cult, because it does not direct man to God but to Mary...
I came from Roman Catholic works slavery to the glorious light faith in Jesus alone through a much longer and more convoluted path, and I wasn't a priest, but I continue to pray for Catholics and many are coming out by the chaos and disillusionment from this latest pope. Let us pray that when they leave, they land in the arms of Jesus!
I currently am a Catholic. Born in 1952. I would like to leave, but I feel like I have to walk through a landmine field before I can walk out. Can you give a more thorough explanation about how you left? Thank you.
Here is Brother Richard's testimony, ua-cam.com/video/u4WRPv1umZI/v-deo.html . I believe it covers most of his story on how he God saved him from sin when he was a priest and how he left the church. He also wrote a book about it that should be available at bereanbeacon.org I hope this are emboldened to follow God where ever He leads you. It is quite traumatic for many people to leave the Roman Catholic Church. Some never find God and some reject God thinking the RCC reflects God real character when it doesn't. I lost a cousin who gave up altogether on God leaving the RC Church and rejecting God. It was a hard thing to attend his funeral knowing where he is now. I pray that God will comfort you through His Holy Spirit and lead you to a real, personal and powerful relationship with Him through God the Son, Jesus, Who died for you in order to save you from your sins knowing you could not save yourself but needed a one time Sacrifice to cover all your sins. Please, comment on that video when you watch it. I would like to know what you think of it and Richard's journey to spiritual freedom.
Thank you, I will study it and get back to you.
@@ChristianVoice08 I think I might have viewed that already, but thanks anyway. I was curious how Jacques Lefave left. I wonder what the grace was that finally pushed him out the door. I think about it every day. I will watch the video - possibly again - and I promise to get back to you. I just woke up 15 minutes ago. Thank you again!!!
@@ronaldkulas5748 hi, if you're interested I will tell you mine....over yrs I realized that christians outside the RCC would go to heaven....I searched for the prophecy in Revelation etc.....I came to dislike the hierarchy but still went to mass until I realized that francis was a heretic so I quit going.....shortly after I was still saying rosaries etc., but there came a time when the Holy Spirit opened my mind and saw that the RCC was false right from its very beginning......I felt so free...it was amazing...I threw everything catholic in the bin, no qualms.......I am still learning but I have the Holy Spirit guiding me.....yay !
What a loving, gracious God we have! For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, Not of works, lest any man boast. (Eph. 8,9).How I thank and praise God for the Testimonies these men give concerning the Holy Spirits work in their lives, bringing them to faith in Jesus Christ ALONE. It's ALL of God's precious grace through the faith He gives us to believe in the "finished Work of Jesus Christ"and not in anything we can do by our own works and effort! May God bless all these men for their courage to walk away from a vocation based on tradition, yet fraught with, and based in, the lies of man and Satan. The Catholic Church is not the only one based on traditions and the works of men or the lies of the enemy. Our Salvation, the righteousness of Jesus Christ imputed to us, our Justification, Sanctification, the sealing and indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and future glorification are ALL FREE GIFTS from our Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, by the witness by the the Holy Spirit to us, as we Believe in Jesus Christ and His beautiful Good News! Praise God for He is sooo Good, and His mercies are new each and every morning. Faith Alone, in Christ Jesus Alone, What Grace! What love! ALL of God! May God Bless all of you! None of you that still have breath, are void of His love or His precious promise to save you. May God Himself bring to each of you the Truth and Grace that came by and through Jesus Christ, His Only Begotten Son. Again, God Bless!
I am in complete awe of The Lord, why He chose to save me; why he pulled me out of the Catholic church when so many remain! This video is an immense blessing from the Most High father God!
May God richly bless and protect Richard for telling the truth.
Praise God you all came out and to the truth. God bless you.
So sweet to my heart to see the joy on Richard's face that they left all that they knew for the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord!
PRAISE JESUS BECAUSE HE SAVES YOU,YOU ARE NOT A PRISONER OF SIN ANYMORE,..PARAISE GOD WITH THAT,,.THE GOD OF THIS WORLD IS SATAN I BELIEVE THAT,JESUS OPENED MY EYES AND MIND TOO..
At 47:58 the ONLY way to be saved is through repentance through the Lord Jesus Christ. By confessing your sins, admitting your sins, and asking the Lord Jesus into your heart THEN you are saved and your reading on Ephesians is SPOT ON well said!
No George, you disobey the Biblical commandments and those of Jesus. Mere mental assent and confessions are not salvific! I have posted a video on this subject, "The Demons Believe in Jesus, So What if You Do Too?" And FYI, we are not Protestants! Our denominations PREDATE Roman Catholicism!
Wonderful testimonies. Nothing is impossible with God!
Thanks for this man of God! Glory to God!!!
I hope many will be set free from RCC deception... And come to Christ alone...
Every Catholic needs to see this
they call us heretics and that we make up the stuff up! they are thought to discredit the bible! I have been called many names for telling truth but it is worth it!
Amen, Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ the Righteous: Outside of Him there is no safety. Inside of Him there is no fear.
The bible should be read, studied and followed.
I am a victim of few deaf Catholicisms in my ex-school, New York School for the Deaf when they hated me to be a Reform Jew in 1962 to 1966. They did illegally write, "KKJ" (Kill the King of Jews) while most deaf Protestants respected me when they explained me to learn about our Lord Jesus Christ. Since 1974 I am a follower of Jesus Christ. Amen!
Thank you Holy Spirit for the gift of knowledge, wisdom and guidance given to your servant for the purpose of telling the truth and for the salvation of the people.
amen and glory to God Almighty
Thank God you come out from it Many things I don’t believe Catholic ...Everyone should read and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ not men
I became a Christian and converted after being harassed by demons (yes they are real). I ended crying out to Jesus Christ to save me in my bedroom, there followed a full repentance of all my sins to Him alone (on my bedroom floor). He washed me clean. I spent 35 years in the Catholic church as my mum brought me up Catholic but after I began this journey with Christ I have been pulled out of the Catholic Church, and no more demons. My mum is still in Catholicism but I am praying for her daily. Thank you Brother Bennett for your work. I am praying for you and your Ministry. Glory to God in the Highest.
Praise Jesus. I find it so sad that on the talk shows and tv shows about demonic activity, there are so many Catholics being oppressed. They seek counsel and people come and bless their homes and the demons return. The psychics on the radio are often Catholic as well as the others offering exorcism services. Yet, they are the first to admit that the demons return. I praise God that when He delivers us from demonic oppression and washes us clean from sins, the demons stay away.
ChristianVoice Editor + WHAT ?...
How do you know your sins are forgiven?
2 CORINTHIANS 6:17,”COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM MY PEOPLE “
Dominic A Those idiots will stay there no matter what.
Pope changed bible verses like the 4th commandment and the second.as they are written in Exodus 20.God said not to make images and kneel down to them.by taking the second out the pope made the 3rd leek Sunday holy.the fourth commandment keep Holy the Sabbath day was changed to Sunday.....open your eyes people.Jesus is coming soon,He has to find us ready.
Praise God. May we walk in the true ways of the Lord, Almighty. Amen
Thank God for making the Bible available for all.
Yeah but by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
[1 John 2: 19 KJV]
“…They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.”
[2 Peter 1: 20 KJV]
“Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”
If sacraments don't work, then how can you be a Christian? You cannot be baptised, you cannot take part in the Lord's supper. Then what do you do? Only grace? Then what was the need for the Incarnation? Many priest are leaving the Roman Catholic Church every day of the year. That does not disprove the teachings of the Catholic Church? My experience shows that the Roman Catholic Church is the most reasonable and common sensical Church in the world.
+Albert Devasahayam The Bible does not teach salvation by works (sacraments). In fact, in Ephesians 2:8-9 Paul explicitly states that salvation is THE FREE GIFT OF GOD NOT OF WORKS! As for your experience, ARE YOU GOD??? You just blasphemed if you think that your tradition or experience is the final authority on theology or religion. GOD SAYS that His Word if the full and final authority on all things spiritual. His Word is directly contradicted by the Roman Catholic catechism, teachings, dogmas (the magisterium). So, either the Bible is false which means Roman Catholicism is false as well OR some of the Roman Catholic Church teachings are false but the Bible is still true. You are stuck in an all or nothing situation, either the Bible is true and your church false or ALL IS FALSE.
How are you saved? Jesus said to surrender to Him NOT to do anything. He said YOU CANNOT be saved. He said that in John 3. Jesus said that for man it is impossible to be saved but that NOTHING is impossible for Him. You need to be saved from your sins. If you were the transformed new creature that doesn't sin, why would you still be sinning? How do I know you are sinning??? Because you are claiming you are doing the sacraments, one of which is confession. A man who is a new creature and isn't sinning regularly would never need confession or absolution. He would not be in fear for his soul at all times. Jesus said to call on Him for salvation not to do ANYTHING. Do you want to be a new man in Christ? Do you want to be free from sin? Or do you just want a religion...a church...a set of rituals and something to do every morning and on Sundays???
+Albert Devasahayam You are CORRECT!!
Only GRACE.
+ChristianVoice08 Amen brother
+ChristianVoice08For the first 300+/- years after Jesus left the Earth, the
bible did NOT exist. There were scattered writings but most of Christianity was taught and passed on by word of mouth (oral tradition). The Catholic Church eventually gathered available writings, evaluated authenticity, and created what we today call the bible.
Check out James: "Faith without WORKS is dead."
Works flow from a faith that is authentic.Jesus said "Unless a man be born again of WATER and the
spirit...: Water means baptism which qualifies as a works.
Saved and never sinning? Jesus said "Even the just man
falls seven times a day".
Faith alone? Get "saved" and then go rob banks and
kill people. Remember you still have faith in Jesus. Your "faith
alone" will save you? You kidding?!
Sin confession to a man (God’s representative) not needed? Jesus told the apostles “Whose sins you forgive are forgiven. Whose sins you retain are retained.” The apostles were the first priests, remember. If you have ANY unrepented sin whatever on your conscious, you cannot get into Heaven directly. That’s why there is a clean-up state called Purgatory.
Bear in mind. God (Jesus) loves everyone unconditionally, but God does NOT save everyone unconditionally.
What about the works of mercy Jesus taught about? Are you going to get faith and then sit around doing nothing? Where did Jesus state that works mean nothing, that you do not have to lift a finger after you have “Faith”?
Jesus opened the possibility of Heaven to us by paying our spiritual cost but He did not guarantee everyone would get into Heaven. Faith proven by works is necessary.
Do you pray? That is a “works”. Do you worship God with a group? That is a “works”.
Can you just buy a bible, read it by yourself, and understand everything accurately?
Why are there thousands of protestant denominations, and they do not agree with each other?
Obviously, some or many of them have wrongly interpreted the bible. How many of them toss out the stuff they don’t like? How many of these denominations are interpreting the bible according to their personal likes without regard for historical accuracy?
The Catholic Church teaches the fullness of God’s revelation. You Protestants teach only portions, the parts that you personally agree with. Try getting Baptists, Methodists, and Episcopalians in a room together and make them agree with each other. Can you do that? Are you all not praying to the same God? Using the same Bible?
Before you or anyone starts criticizing the teachings and practices of which the Catholic Church is the care taker, study in depth WHY each teaching is promoted. Go read the early Church fathers. To presume that you (or any single person) can accurately interpret the total Bible by his own powerful
little brain is a serious presumption. The consequences can be spiritually fatal.
The New Testament is a highly summarized account of God’s
teachings. No one can pick out only a handful of favorite things out of it and be saved. The Bible taken literally contradicts itself in numerous places. How does your self righteous brain interpret those passages?
By the way, be sure you are distinguishing between dogma and religious practices. The dogmas are required unchangeable beliefs. The practices are usually optional and can be changed as needed.
The sacraments as taught by the Catholic Church have their basis in Jesus’ teachings. Every one of them. If you cannot find them in Jesus’ teaching, try asking a knowledgeable Catholic.
There are teaching programs that you can attend (without making any
commitment). You owe it to yourself to keep learning about God and what He has made available to us.
+RockSlide You don't appear to know anything about history let alone Church history. THE ENTIRE BIBLE existed complete before 73 AD! In fact, we know this because no book mentions the sack of Jerusalem and the Temple being destroyed in the past tense. The early Church writers and teachers like Irenaus quote over 90% of the New Testament books in their letters. They did so out of abundance of caution and not creating any new doctrines but trying to simply communicate what was already given. Too bad your false church didn't take that stance. Now there were additional books that were not Holy scripture that were ignored and so at a later ecumenical council, some were publicly identified as false books or not God-breathed like Maccabees which is historical but not Holy writ. Quit spewing false propaganda and get educated, dude.
This man is truly Joyful.
My answer to a RCC apologist
Yes, all the names of the holidays you mention are not in the Bible only because they were man made. They are all tied to pagan worship. There is nothing in the Bible for us to make them a big deal and for us to make them special days of worship. Easter for me is resurrection day. And as a Christian, every day is a special day and held in reverence. I give full reverence to my God. Christ Jesus. Christmas was made around the winter solstice for Constantine to appease the pagans and to add bodies to the so-called church of that time. If anything Jesus was probably born around September October for they will be no shepherds in the field tending sheep in the cold December. Constantine was instrumental in inventing most of what you practice, this to was to appease the pagans. I.E purgatory, limbo, the mass and phony communion sacrificing Christ daily when he said it is finished, the veneration of Mary, when she in the Bible said she to needed a savior, lent, ascension of Mary into heaven, rosary beads when the Bible says we have one mediator between man and God and it is Christ Jesus and not Mary, and a slew of others made up things and places without any explanation unless the scriptures are twisted, and you people are very good at that. There is nothing you can say or do to change my mine of your pagan worship. I see your church as a pompous circle of men and woman attired in man-made garments to make one look holy, Along with them loving and enjoying the accolades of man. Kiss my ring attitude. Yes, I am prejudiced and against all RCC teaches, only because I know many in my family and others are burning in hell because of your cultish teachings. I came out from among them 40 years ago and only after much prayer and the reading my Bible. This is when I realized 40 things I was practicing as a RCC could not be found in the Bible. So count me out, for my soul is all I have and not handing over to a cult. I will stay out of the RCC until the very end my life. You too know the truth but you like the accolades of man. The office of the pope is pure heresy. It is a proven fact Peter never was in Rome. And if there be an office of the pope I would say Paul was much more of candidate then Peter. Paul had to correct Peter even at that time for he was convoluting God's word with the conversion of Jews to Christianity. Where he had to inform Peter they were not to hang onto Jewish tradition. We both can debate our feelings but I know I am correct. I would suggest you listen to the teachings of a Jacob Presch who I just came across who will gladly debate you using the greek, the Hebrew and yes, latin proving you are a disciple of error. Upon this rock, I will build my church this too is a misinterpretation when you pass by all three languages. I feel I did all my searching and found out the RCC is not the way for me but Jesus is the way truth and the life. Even as a young boy your church never met my needs. I could never understand in praying to plaster of parish statues could help me and clearly defined in the 10 commandments as idols. So I say goodbye.

Praise God!
The new testament actually states that we are all priests in Christ.
1 Peter 2:9-10 King James Version (KJV)
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
King James Version (KJV)
I was born again last November and it blew open the doors to my understanding of Gods infinite love for each one of us and grace extended through His Holy Spirit. I would venture to say I was not a good Catholic as I did not embrace many of their practices. I only married a Catholic man and converted because it was important to him. However I did want a personal relationship with Abba Father. He has given it to me and my insides are bursting to share this freedom in Christ with others. What books do you recommend for me regarding the Catholic church to share my husband? He and his whole family are cradle Catholics.
Write him at the email in the video and you should get a response to that question. God save your husband and his family.
Welcome to real freedom and peace that surpass all knowledge.
I am humbled that Yahweh is opening the spiritual eyes of those in the RCC. Seek the Word of Yahweh and Yeshua not the words of man. Yahweh's Holy Spirit in Yeshua abiding in us, will guide and lead us in ALL Wisdom Truth and in Righteousness.
im catholic but i read the bible there are many things that catholic do that is not in the bible...it took 11 yrs before i convinced myself that im in the wrong path now im out ✌✌✌
i left catholicism just last year....i may not be good in english since im asian and i only finished high school but im telling the truth........catholic is a false church....the birth of jesus is not written in the bible and not written to grave images and put it in the church and make prayers...the only prayer written in the bible is our father but catholics made up hail mary,station of the cross what else the prayer at 6:00 pm......God opened my eyes and no one can convince me now that im in the wrong path
Praise God! May God continue to lead and bless you, dear sister. Thank you for posting on this video.
I resently noticed that the word, "Christian" is not in the name of the Catholic Church, instead the word, Roman is in the name of The Catholic Church. If the romans and the jews killed Jesus, why that name is there? Most people don't realize that. You're the few chosen by God to escape that false religion.God bless you.
Cidalia Martins They call me, "Carmen". However, my legal name is, "Carmen Amonte Sanchez". Jesus was born, raised and died in Jerusalem. Solomon"s Templo was in Jerusalem. Why The Catholic Church is on the The Seven Hills of Rome? That's where The Book Of Revelation places The Catholic Church and calls it, "The Great Harlot". If you don't see this, then you need to ask God to open your spiritual eyes to His Word. And don't forget to ask it in Jesus's name, not in Virgin Marry's name.
Amen, read the bible, Gods word, the truth.
God bless you brother!
The little horn on the beast is the blasphemous anti Christ vatican who is the smallest kingdom.
I am thankful to the Lord Jesus for you all that came out of the False Church! God bless your work in exposing their heresies.
Your comment is a great blessing for him. Please keep Richard and his wife in your prayers. They need prayer for their health and healing. Richard has continued this fight into his 80s with his wife doing the same never retiring. Please, pray that God will grant them the health to have quality of life until He chooses to take them home.
I can and will do that very thing. And may our Great God and Savior watch you all as well.
Judas lives everywhere STOP moking a church Jesus himself founded!! do your research before you condemn the faith please I BEG YOU!!! xxx
nix, How about posting that passage from the Bible where God created the Roman Catholic Church. And don't misquote the passage about Peter as we already posted an entire video explaining the truth about apostolic succession and Who is Peter. So, you need a passage that establishes a new church with new priests that CONTRADICTS SAINT PAUL when he said that old things had passed away and that the old priesthood and sacrificial system were shadows of the New Covenant that Jesus had brought with His ONCE AND FOR ALL SACRIFICE of Himself that no man was worthy to offer to God.

I was set free by the biblical scriptures from Catholicism (a priest could or would not explain why I haven't Learned these scriptures, after he gave me the Catholic Bible & told me to read & then come back for more discussion. The Bible he gave had the same scriptures! Praise God! I pray God will use this video for His Glory! Love in Christ Jesus!
What a wonderful video this is. I am going to buy this book for REVERENCE use. Thank you so much all of you for your testimonies. Thank you GOD for bringing these wonderful souls to safety with you. I feel so happy and inspired. I would not have wanted to lose any one of these inspiring people and they will in turn help so many of us still being deceived! Praise God with whom we have EVERYTHING you have only to know him through his wonderful word as these men have told us.
God has His people in all different faith. Now He's calling them out. Come out of Babylon my people.
All faiths?! Including Muslim. Buddhist? Zoroastrianism? Atheist (that's a faith). If so you are saying the if no objective truth, just whatever we want to believe? That's man making God in his own image. Just saying, you might want to be careful with that approach.
Please remember "the end" (Hebrew correct translation) means to reach a goal. When one reaches a goal, we reach the end. The Sacrificial law was the shadow pointing to Yeshua who is the substance. Yeshua fulfilled the sacrificial system Once and for all, and the High Priesthood.
I was stubborn stupid catholic. Those horrific idols, rosaries, books I was hoarding in my house. When I was donating to the church I never felt happy. I started searching for real happiness and peace. Finally I started reading BIBLE and I got rid of all those things from my house and invited JESUS in my life and in my heart. Now. With help of Holy Spirit I will change my tradition bound family. First time in my entire life I'm so happy and peaceful.
May God richly bless you and keep you in His truth and His Way, His Son Jesus alone. Your family will be a challenge but they are your family. We will pray with you for their salvation. It is the Holy Spirit that must draw them and save them. May you grow in the grace and peace and the Word of God.
What a wonderful video Richard Bennett, thank you for sharing your testimony and those of your friends, you messages were heartfelt and genuine in truth. God bless you.

great video I learn a lots I'm a born again christian too.im happy that lots of catholic priests accepted Jesus as there Lord and Savior Amen...
Yes, Richard gets attacked because some false teachers have converted to Catholicism but that counterclaim is asinine when you consider how many lay Roman Catholics leave their church even those that are not saved by Jesus. The priests don't matter, it is the millions of Catholics leaving that should be of note. So many Catholics see the bankrupt religious system from the inside not even knowing everything going on in the clergy circles and they just bail like sailors abandoning a sinking ship being tossed around in an open sea. They regard it better to take their chances outside any ship than go down with that sinking one. While adherents of every religion may abandon ship, none seem to have such losses as Roman Catholicism. That should be enough to silence the RC apologists, but it doesn't. They think they are patching holes in the hull.
I left the catholic church within the last 30 days. Thank You, Jesus.
You're among MANY who left the RCC, Kevin. Please get into a Bible study and learn the stunning truths that have been kept from Catholics for many centuries. There are some Bible studies online.
+Annie Keller amen to that
brother, follow Jesus and Jesus alone! read the bible and don't listen to many humans! pray to God to let the holy spirit teach guide and correct you! many will leave you but you are not alone at all! we your family love you and care for you ! May the Lord bless you and continue to learn and be glad UA-cam the light and freedom in Christ!'may peace be with you!
Please pray for me, I am trying SO HARD to make a decision about whether to leave Catholicism or not. I feel incredibly guilty. I am constantly going to Confession because I miss Mass, because of my confusion and illness.
Hey there, I'll be praying for you. I know a bit of the feeling you must be going through. The struggle of such a huge change can be incredibly overwhelming. Though you are likely aware, the mass and confession aren't really Biblical concepts. Rather, they are traditions introduced over years and years. But for me, if i miss church sometimes, i do feel guilty. But that's honestly because i sometimes CHOOSE not to go. But you, if you have an illness or something that is truly keeping you from church, God can hear you from wherever you are. He knows you're sick and possibly unable. If you feel bad, confess it to God. We have access to Him through His Son Jesus. He is loving, forgiving, and surely understanding of our limitations. He made us, after all ha. We don't need a 2nd mediator to tell us we are forgiven or to give us a list of commands to achieve forgiveness (however small the command). We have the blood of Jesus. The value of this blood /sacrifice is beyond all works. We have been bought and our sin forever covered. All we gotta do is ask the Lord. Continue to pray, to seek God, to read His Word, and be encouraged. God bless you!
I pray for you. Trust God alone. Only Jesus the only Mediator and our Saviour. Only Jesus who forgive our sin, not any ritual or even mass. May God bless you...
leave Catholicism, your leaving a religion, not Jesus, they are 2 different things. GOD is not about Guilt. Your sins are to be given to GOD not a man.
Thank you both for your prayers!
It's not God making you feel guilty. We are saved by faith alone in Christ alone. Jesus said that not all that call Him Lord will see the kingdom of heaven, but only those who obey His Father. All He said, He was told to say by the Father, and all he did (miracles) He saw the Father do. God says HE is God, and you confess your sins to Him (He is the only one whoy can forgive you). The Bible does not teach what RCC teaches. Who are you going to follow? The RCC or God? The Catholic bible is changed, and God's word says in you change His word, you are cursed. The RCC bible took out the 2nd comandment, split another in half (so there's still 10 Commandments). The 2nd Commandment forbids the making of an image of anything on eaerth, to pray to an image, or to worship an image. Yet, I"ve seen Catholics kneeling and praying to a statue of Mary.
The bible does not permit you to pray to anyone, but God alone. If you pray to some dead Christian/saint, you're praying to an idol. The bible says the dead know nothing till they return with Jesus in their glorified bodies to take the Christians out of this world. READ THE BIBLE. The New Testament is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, so a good place to start. I have prayed for you, and I pray your health has improved if that's God's will. God be with you. Ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit. The truth will truly set you free. SCRIPTURALLY, rcc IS not a Christian religion. It is not true. You can't change the bible, or add seven books to it that are not backed up by an apostle.
Another good one, john 6 29: the work of god is to beleive in the one he sent....so faith alone is what he wants. To beleive what yeshua did for us. Wh you believe and have real fath, you actions wil change. Baptising n his holy name is extremly ppreciatd by the father (adult bapt.).
God Bless You!
Come out of her my people that Ye not be partakers of her Sins!
priesthood was ended with Jesus Christ because he was the last priest....the role of a priest is only to made an offering to the altar and God ended this rite after the Lord Jesus Christ crucified, died on the cross to save us and cleanst us by the power of his blood....
Amen Sister!
The only "hoop" that a believer needs to jump through is accepting Christ as the only propitiation for our sins. As for an intercessor, read 1Tim 2:5.
I am not even baptized in Catholics. I was baptized in one of Lutheran Church. I have used to be praying in Catholic Church for almost one year ( after i moved to another town because of works ) . So, one day , my mother was really sick , so something across my mind that i should pray for my mom by Rosary . I did it , and it works at all. Even i have never had bread during the sacrament, but i believe in God. My faith in Him is never changed. God listen to our heart. God answer my pray, my mother is health now. So, i have conclusion , only the Spirit of God drive me to Him. I dont care about the type of Church, but when i pray i believe He drive me come to Him. Because , when i was kid , i was told Church is building to collect people who have faith in Him. So indeed, person or people who have faith in Him is the main one. Near my stay, three Churches ( Catholic Church, Anglican Church, Preysbeterian Church). I have no idea, why my feet step on to Catholic Church. But , i always believe the pray and songs i sing to God during the mass. Thankfully, my heart my faith in Him is not change.
Thank you🙏😇
The Rosary is prayers to Mary blasphemy. Satan lead you to the Catholic church and dont forget the priests of baal performed miracles too.
I’m a convert to the Catholic Church. Many people do decide to that. It made me more in line with Jesus not less. Ignore those other people
@@austintong3501 you are unusual. Most people get trapped into the cult of Mary
Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven
Thank you Yahweh that all these people woke up to see there is no priest in the new testament. Only Jesus is our High Priest so this wonderful, now they are see the truth behind the Lies. We don't follow traditions of men!
thank you jesus for richard may he be blessed in his ministry for your name,we really need you to come to ireland to help people in there unbelief ,,,,bless you again in the name of jesus
Matthew 24:4-5 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

Here are some early church Fathers writings that were brushed aside at the council of Trent in order to sustain power of the church I have many more up to 1200AD before Augustine and Hippo should you be interested as many people think only Luther believed in faith alone utter rubbish
St. Clement
- St. Clement of Rome (? - ~101 AD)
“Similarly we also, who by His will have been called in Christ Jesus, are not justified by ourselves, or our own wisdom or understanding or godliness, nor by such deeds as we have done in holiness of heart, but by that faith through which Almighty God has justified all men since the beginning of time. Glory be to Him, forever and ever, Amen.”- St. Clement of Rome (? - ~101 AD) Approx 60AD
” Ambrose (337-397 )
“To this end has His Grace and Goodness been formed upon us in Christ Jesus, that being dead according to works, redeemed through faith and saved by grace, we might receive the gift of this great deliverance.” Ambrose (337-397 AD), Letter 76 to Irenaeus, a layman
Thank you brother Richard for leading people to the true Christ
Andrew, would you mind replying to me and letting me see the quotes up to the 13th century? I had seen a few years ago another video that clearly showed the RCC went off the rails somewhere around the 13th century, and that up to that time there was a lot of truth within the RCC. I am Catholic, but I am seriously thinking about leaving for Gospel based church.
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
It seems man has a boundless imagination as far as screwing things up; despite clear instructions to the contrary.
Oh but,,,,,
Following is an excerpt from an address given by the Cardinals to Pope Pius III, and is preserved in the National Library in Paris, Folio No. 1068, Vol. 2, pp.
650-651:
"Of all the advice that we can offer your holiness we must open your eyes well and use all possible force in the matter, namely to permit the reading of the
gospel as little as possible in all the countries under your jurisdiction. Let the very little part of the gospel suffice which is usually read in mass, and let no
one be permitted to read more. So long as people will be content with the small amount, your interest will prosper; but as soon as the people want to read
more, your interest will fail. The Bible is a book, which more than any other, has raised against us the tumults and tempests by which we have almost
perished. In fact, if one compares the teaching of the Bible with what takes place in our churches, he will soon find discord, and will realize that our teachings are often different from the Bible, and oftener still, contrary to it.?
Some of the things like piety,conteplativeness,retreats etc..i can live with,but, the many other things arent biblical, the largest percent of catholics dont want to hear it.
You are an excellent teacher, Richard.
Amen. Praise the Lord God.
Hebrews 10
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

Awesome video. Thank You.
Thanks for sharing
I was born into the Catholic Church and growing up l was confused. When l was a young man l was feeling so sad and empty and went to mass. Absolutely no joy and peace. 2001 again l feeling sad and empty and a friend took me to a Christian church and finally l got filled. Peace joy and hope and absolute truth. One afternoon in a Christian church outweigh all the masses. I never went back to that evil rcc. I get to read my own bible because of the men who stood up to false church and was tortured and burned. I will not forget. I remember a girl was sick and a Catholic priest gave her last rites and said your sins are forgiven. So the girl was happy and went out to party and sin because she believed her salvation was finished. What a lie. I will not forget......
Thank you for your testimony. It is helpful to me because I am Catholic, and I too am trying to figure out what to do. In my heart I think I know I must leave, but I am waiting for the HS to show me what to do. It is not easy.
@@ronaldkulas5748 I am born and raised catholic. But in march 2019, God opened my eyes to this deceptive organization. I left this church and found salvation in CHRIST ALONE.
the only priest in Christianity is Christ and Christ Alone!
the video agree,he's an ex Priest
Svetla, actually in Christianity, the priesthood of all Christians is implied with Jesus being the ONE AND ONLY Highpriest as you point out. You are right but there is a little more. Jesus is the only priest with authority to offer Sacrifice and He offered it past tense as He is the Highpriest and as you know the only priest that offered the sacrifices of animals to God Himself in the Temple was the Highpriest not the regular priests. As I have challenged Nix, show me where there is an established priesthood in the New Covenant other than every man being able to go directly to God without any earthly priest (being in effect a priest of his own life). I see no way he can prove that from Holy Scripture. Any time a religion wants to have priests, it is to restore the priestcraft of old days when the priests lorded over the people claiming the power over life, health, and salvation. This is anti-Christ, as you point out, since Hebrews explains that Jesus alone is the Highpriest after the order of Melchizedek not Levi. And it says that He merely points to His own Sacrifice, His own blood as a witness in favor of a Christian's good standing with God and their righteousness. They ignore that His Word says that men's righteousness (all our works it says) are as menstrual rags (Isaiah 64:6) and therefore unable to even aid in saving us. I fear some people have been so long in bondage to a system that they no longer question the bars that imprison them. I am glad that God has set me free of sin and free of religion and free of men lording over me. I praise God that He has said that He is my ONLY MAster and He is a wonderful Master. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. I may struggle with sin and evil but I do not have to struggle with ten thousand commandments of men on top of that like Orthodox Jews, Catholics, Greek orthodox, and the cults like the Mormons and Witnesses. I have a single easy to live by set of standards laid down by Jesus Himself so clear that CHILDREN understand and obey when He saves them from their sins. ALL PRAISE, HONOR AND GLORY TO JESUS, THE LAMB WHO WAS SLAIN WHO LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR US. Praise His Holy Name.
I watched the video that you recommended. It was one of the best, IMO, for me and my desire to look outside the RCC. I left a much longer comment to you on another video.
God bless. But dont trust the protestant pastors either only God and his word.
God (Yahweh our Elohim -our Creator) and Yeshua our HaMochiach (Yeshua - Jewish/Hebrew name and HaMoshiach - the Messiah) told us to obey His commandments. To follow the example of Yeshua. This is the WAY, the TRUTH (given to us by Yeshua from Abba Yahweh), and the LIFE. (Eternal Life). Our walk in Righteousness and "obedience" is done not by "flesh and blood" ,(called flesh works -ritualism), but by the power of the Holy Spirit of Yahweh (God) within us through Yeshua our Messiah.
Luke 22:19-20
19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.
please note he said do thisin remembrance of me . also is says in Ephesians
Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
its say in romans
Romans 10:9-13
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
so
1 its not by works its by faith alone
2 Grace from God given from him alone
if you are born again meaning of spirit
A change in your heart you will do the good works because he dwells in you.
read hebrews 6 it will point you in the right direction not looking back but forward to Christ. Amen God bless all of you in Yeshewa name
the Problem with ALL Organizations is that the Rank and File have NO IDEA what is Going on in Upper Management /// but defend the organization based on what they see and know ,, which is Directly Opposite to the CEO's Agenda
It’s very simple, you cannot respect God and be Catholic, they are totally different.
Richard, that sounds harsh. So, explain what you mean so folks understand what you are saying.
ChristianVoice Editor -How can anyone listen to God and not pay attention to this likes and dislikes.
Exactly, when Jesus says call no man "Father" as a title and they tell you to call fallen men "Father"...and Jesus says He is the Mediator and they give you a false Mary to worship as mediatrix...and Jesus says to have no idols or gods before God and they tell you to pray to dead men and women...and Jesus acknowledges that worship of ANYONE but God is idolatry and Rome says to worship...I'm sorry, VENERATE statues and dead men's bones and and and ad nauseum... At least the Mexican Catholics are honest about their worshiping of the Virgin of Guadalupe as actually being worship and that veneration is worship... Jesus says that those who truly love Him keep His commandments, and Rome breaks every one they can and encourages the poor Catholic to join in disobedience of the Son of God Who is God.
ChristianVoice Editor -- I also wonder about if Jesus his the Holy Sprit, scripture dose point us in that area. John 7:38 and 39.
Scripture is quite clear that the Holy Spirit is separate from Jesus as the Father is separate from Jesus while all three are God and God is ONE. You need only look to the Baptism of Jesus. Further, Jesus stated fell me that I am flesh. Spirit hath not flesh," when He appeared to the disciples after His resurrection. The Holy Spirit is that Spirit that is completely Spirit with no flesh as it lives in all Christians. It is Jesus living in me as Jesus cannot live bodily in me but God said that He would inhabit His children. So being God, the Holy Spirit fits the bill and is Jesus in me though He is not Jesus in the flesh.
Grace is all you need; with the free and undeserved gift from our Lord Jesus Christ, being a good Christian is just something you will want to do to please God, remember all of our good works are like filthy rags to God, but like Richard Bennett said works do not save only grace does. So many people are caught up in doing good works to supplement the work that Jesus done for us at Calvary on the Cross, Sin is already paid for.
Galatians Chapter 5: verse 4 : Christ has become of not effect to you, whoever of you are justified by the law; you are fallen from grace.
Nicodemus a Priest The RCC of that time came to Jesus by night and said we know you are from God, because know one could do the miracles you do if not from God. Jesus said to him you must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God. He said how is a man to be born again in his mothers womb. No catholic understands truth until he are she is ready to let go of the lie. Peter heard the truth and on the faith he spoke out you are the messiah. Jesus said upon this Rock i will build my church. Upon the faith of Peter , We can see that if you try to put the weight of the church on a human man it can not stand. Jesus alone is the vine and we ( each person is a branch of that church) God alone. If the catholic church is a true church why do the priest molest children and nuns, and when nuns get pregnant they kill the baby. There are videos of catholic testimonies from nuns that escape these crazy abusive churches. Repent and leave this false church believe the truth be born again and live.
Great point and biblically true. Jesus did NOT found His Church on the man who denied Jesus THREE TIMES!!! Let us get the fullness of the Roman Catholic claim: the very first pope denied Christ THREE TIMES and still remained the pope!!! RICH!!!! lol
Amazing video.. Great testimony, Praise Jesus Christ
Man... my whole family is Catholic. I got out of it a long time ago but then came back and sang in the Catholic church for a choir. But never actually followed everything. My mom and my grandma talk about praying the rosary and I just roll my eyes. I just don't know how to get my parents out of it... The church is a fallacy!
Lucia Rose The quotes by Tim Spangler right at the top are all examples of blasphemes against God.
Pray with God to open their ey
es and leave it up to him.
As per your report, 50 priests had left Holy Catholic Church for one reason or other but I am confused whether all the left priests live with all the human weaknesses or is it now they are next to angels of God. However, why didn't they take up necessary revolution if it is for good the church? Or is only because of their own personal reasons.
Amen, God bless You sir.
Revelation 1:6. The people of the LORD Yahweh are kings and priests.
I don’t understand why Catholic believes crying and sad when someone stealing their idolatry...Many people broke their idolatry But God never punish them ..they never know the story of Balla and Moses
Follow the gospel. Have a good conscience Love God above all.
Why only protest against the teaching of the Catholic Church now? They should have done it while in the seminary. As priests they know that the basis of the church worship is in early Christian traditions and the Holy Bible which was not consolidated after many many years later.
God had not saved them in seminary. Every man is saved in GOD's time not ours. Sadly, many have to suffer through a lot before they listen to God and He saves them. Once God save them, their eyes are opened and they start seeing the problems with their false religion.
I came to faith about two and a half years ago.And i didnt have a religious background.
Why not then, you say? It wasn't in Gods timing for them to leave then. God's timing is perfect and He knows what he's doing.
@@Revelation18-4 that's why God waited 60 yrs before he showed me the truth.
1 Timothy 3:2 mentions the qualifications for bishops, of one wife,etc
Yeah, kinda hard to square that with bishops who claim to be priests and can't have any wives in direct contradiction of Saint Paul...especially when claiming that Peter was the first pope.
This idea of priesthood began very early after the Apostles were gone. The early church fathers would have desired to fashion themselves after the pagan idea of priesthood, but with a Christian flavor.
Here is the reality of the situation. The Apostles were focusing on something completely different. Their concern was getting as many devout Christians before the end of the age. They were not concerned about establishing churches to last far into the future. In fact, many of those churches did not last.
You're ,right, their concern was bringing the gospel and estabish churches. Paul established churches throughout Asia Minor, leaving some as the elders of those churches. Why was nothing said about priests in his letters to those churches? Everything you need to know about those who would be left in charge is in 1 Timothy 3. Read it. No mention of priests.
No, you're incorrect. The priesthood ended with the Hebrews and the end of the Old Testament. Jesus became the HIGH PRIEST of our faith and with such a mighty HIGH PRIEST, there is no need for any other priest. In the OT, God ordained priests to offer sacrifice to God on behalf of the believers there are no other priests mentioned in the NT except in reference to the Jewish priests alive during Jesus' time. Jesus offered the ultimate sacrifice so since His death and resurrection, there's no more need for any priest other than Jesus.
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak..... 😢🤔
I can only plead, that one reads the Old Testament (the coming Salvation and the shadow of Yeshua our Messiah His Son who will bring this Salvation).
The New Testament is the "manifestation" (of the shadow in the OT) of Yeshua our Kinsman Redeem, our Messiah, who came to redeem us with with his priceless Sacrifice, and brought to us the "free" Gift of Salvation of God, first to the Jew and then the Gentile. Yahweh has extended His "grace" to all. Praise our ONE Great Eternal Elohim, our Great King of the Heavens and the Earth and Yeshua His beloved Son.
a must read for catholics and Christians alike! read about the goddess Isis, learn about the religion Mithraism, and what pontificus maximus comes from! after reading this material I have to warn people to run out of the RCC and never turn back ever! repent and believe in the gospel ! faith alone in Christ saves
Svetla, if people will take the time to study, especially the occult and other Roman cults, they will find that out. They will find that the black vestments with white collar are from the cult of mithras which was a counterfeit of Jesus. Mithras was supposedly born of a virgin and represented by a bull. They met in secret in the catacombs of Rome. It was another spin off of the Cult of Nimrod (like cult of Tammuz or Damuzzi) and very close to the other Virgin birth cult of Rome at the time of Constantine. That other cult, the Mother-Son cult of Rome, was the reason that Constantine believed he could unite the Roman Empire under the Christian religion. He saw that Jesus being virgin born would mesh with the other two pagan cults or at least would superficially do so. The mithraic followers and mother-son cult members could worship with the Christians hiding their secret rites and rituals. However, the mithraic and other cult which ultimately worship the sun-god permeated and altered Roman Catholicism into the Pagan-Christian hybrid it is today right down to the mini-gods, prayer to saints, abstinence from meat, saint days, and the use of December 25th as Christ-Mass. Dec 25th is the birthday of Mithras in that cult NOT Jesus. Jesus was born in spring or summer or early fall. Shepherds don't take flocks out all night on the winter solstice.
In addition to the vestments and colors from these other cults, the priesthood was the other thing brought in by paganism. Christians were all priests of their own salvation under the Highpriest forever, Jesus the Christ. However, pagan temples had a priest-class that held power over the people and controlled entire nations. That was introduced from paganism. Unfortunately, some Roman Catholics celebrate their pagan traditions as pagan claiming that such incorporation of heathen or pagan practice into Christianity is a good thing. I challenge anyone that is upset by the facts I have stated here to have the guts to put me to the test. Don't waste your typing calling me a liar, GO DO THE RESEARCH! Find out if I am lying. If you won't and if you just attack me, then, you know that I am telling the truth and you just want to make excuses and lie to avoid having to deal with these hard facts. If you attack me and do not check out the facts, you are not a Christian and you are not looking to serve Jesus Who says HE is the Truth, the Way, the Light and no one comes to God but by Him. When you argue for your sins, God lets you keep them...You just won't get to keep your soul! What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?
+ChristianVoice08 well we have to make them ! we have to open their eyes! and Isis? the mother of God? Isis aka Mary! how is it that they hold the same title?
+ChristianVoice08 brother I pray for all of us and all of them! for us to remain strong in Christ and for them to take the blinders off and start reading as to why we still speak against them even after the protestant reformation!
Yes, when God references the cult of Tammuz (cult of Dammuzzi-beer god of the middle east), He mentions the Queen of Heaven. The mother-god cult is reflected in Isis worship, cult of Nimrod and the Hindu triumvirate of gods. The mother-god cult or "Mother of God" cult comes from the cult of Nimrod, the first cult. In that cult Nimrod marries his mother claiming that she is "Mother of god" as she gave birth to him. It is the source of all such cults that mimic the Christian God, Jesus who was born of a woman but born fully God and fully man. The lines were so blurred with Marian worship in the middle age Roman Catholic church that Mohamed (who's mother was Catholic) was convinced and put in the Koran that the Christian god was Mary, Jesus and the father, not the true Christian Godhead of Jesus, Father and Spirit. The modern people are trapped in false religions just as in the middle ages because they do not know world history, church history or religious history. The pastors don't bother to learn let alone teach the people about the false cults of the world so that they know the errors from which false practices arose.
Nevertheless, as you say, we must open peoples eyes with the facts and history and their hearts with the Gospel. We make no money from this. We do not get membership from this. We have nothing to gain by pulling people into the Light of Jesus except seeing people freed from their sins. It should SCARE Roman Catholics to see that there are only two reasons we would try and get them out of Roman Catholicism;
1. Roman Catholicism is what we say it is and its false pagan practices will prevent Catholics from being saved and entering heaven...
OR
2. We are liars of satan himself trying to drag Catholics into chains and hell.
Problem is, if they are already going to hell for pagan practices, why would we bother them. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, no satanist, no demonized person can say that "Jesus Christ of Nazareth, born of Mary and raised on the third day is my Master" and keep His commandments. If we were demonized sinners, lying, our lives and sins would expose us. We would not be telling Roman Catholics to obey Jesus's commandments and repent of their sins. We would not tell them to read the Bible. We would be offering some other false religious system to them. Only then would we be pulling them from God. When someone tells you to read and believe the Bible and obey it ALONE, they can hardly be of the world or of satan. Diabolical false teachers always offer you something other than the Bible and claim to be a source themselves. Christians on the other hand say, DO NOT LISTEN TO US, OBEY GOD, READ AND OBEY HIS WORD without offering ANYTHING ELSE! Only a true servant of God would hand you a Bible and say, "This is all you need. You don't even need me. You just need Jesus and He says that He is the Word and now you have It and Him in your hands."
+ChristianVoice08 thank you for your teaching , brother in Christ! may god bless and keep you!
Thank you, Lord Jesus - 50 down - and a billion to go.
you know so little
You are correct - us humans DO know very little - but - we do know what the Written Word of God says - and that is what we are supposed to go on - and obey.
Well !Im chatolic when i watched this ive been shocked . I was born in a chatolic family I dont know if my families gonna believe me
+Eugene fernandez How about you post the 33,000 denominations and I'll consider the evidence? Or are you just lying about 33,000 denominations?
