The three main things that are bringing me to conversion into Catholicism in no specific order are 1) Study of The Eucharist. 2) Thought about the oneness and universality of The Church. 3) St Thomas Aquinas.
All wonderful reasons! Welcome home! Thank you for sharing! God bless! 🙏
🙏🏻🙂
Thank you for your conversion story. Myself I was a revert. It was a long journey.
Every story is unique and worth sharing! So many encouraged me as I was converting! And many still do!
Commenting for the algorithm!
Thank you! God bless! 🙏
@@calledtobedifferent Why dont you engage with non Catholic Christians such as myself? I volunteer scrutiny
@TimSpangler-rd6vs
I have engaged with your comments. Unless I missed one? I don't scrutinize, though. I educate kindly. 😊
@@calledtobedifferent Have I misrepresented Catholicism?
Two of my favorite Catholic commentators together. Great interview.
Wow, thank you! God bless! 🙏
Welcome to our Home! ❤🎉
Thank you! God bless! 🙏

Thank you for your support! Welcome to the family! God bless! 🙏
Sami, besides Brant Pitre's book, add "Crushing satan's Head by Fr. James Mawdsley of youtube channel Scripture and Tradition JM. Mary is prefigured by Judith, Jael, Esther and more. Have a blessed weekend!
Oh, wow! Thank you so much! I'm going to check it out! Thank you for your suggestion! God bless! 🙏
In the near future when you are confirmed in the Catholic Church, I would love to see a video on which saint you chose as your Confirmation Saint and why. I’m sure it will be a great story. 🙏🏼
That's a great idea! I will definitely share once we are confirmed! Thank your foe your suggestion! God bless! 🙏
Awesome. My journey back home was also long but necessary for me to get to where I am now.
God knows exactly what we need to get us there! I'm glad you got where you need to be! God bless! 🙏
God bless you, Sammy.
Thank you! God bless! 🙏
welcome home sister
Thank you! God bless! 🙏
God Bless🎉
God bless! 🙏
Sometimes a strong conversion such as this comes about when a parent or loved one has reached heaven (or even purgatory) and is praying for you. I’ve seen it in my own life.
What a beautiful thought! Thank you for sharing! There is no doubt in my mind that she is with Jesus. I never thought about her possibly praying for me. ❤️ God bless! 🙏
Great interview, thank you for sharing your story!
Thank you for watching! God bless! 🙏
Congratulations! I see Pope Sola scriptura is here too.. throwing out snippets of scripture out with no context.
🤣 yes! Poor guy doesn't have a life 😢
🙏🏻🙂
What is the name of the book at 12:36?
Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary by Brant Pitre...
Sorry I did not mention this... I have mentioned it multiple times on my channel! Great book! Thank you for asking! God bless! 🙏
May Christ open her eyes to the falsehoods of Catholicism like he did for her when it came to calvinism
What is false about Catholicism?
@@calledtobedifferent Im sure you know the gospel by now so i dont think I'll be held accountable for not sharing the gospel with you and as of my comment was not a call to debate but a prayer. Honey i cant change anyones mind especially when it comes to religion so i wont even try especially in the comment section. A person will only come to the truth when they seek it out. Dont stop seeking my sister
Next step: Catholic to orthodox
Haha... I get this occasionally. I haven't looked incredibly deep into orthodox but what I have researched... I still uphold the Catholic doctrines over the orthodox so unless someone can convince me otherwise. I'm Catholic!
God bless! 🙏
@@calledtobedifferent I can explain deeply why you should consider orthodoxy but it's a long story. Will you read it?
If anyone is thinking of becoming rc they should start with Scripture and compare them with rc doctrines and claims. Start with the papacy claims. Is there an office of the papacy in the NT? No. Did any bishop in the 1st century claim to be a pope i.e. chief shepherd of the church? No. Use the same method for other doctrines such as the Marian dogmas. It will shock you.
Sola scriptura Jn 21:25 ... not everything is in the Bible. 2 Thess 2:15; 2 Tim 2:2; 1 Cor 11:2; 1 Thess 2:13 ... Paul speaks of oral tradition. Acts 2:42 ... early Christians followed apostolic tradition. 2 Pet 3:16 ... Bible hard to understand, get distorted. 2 Jn 1:12; 3 Jn 1:13-14 ... more oral tradition. 2 Pet 1:20-21 ... against personal interpretation. Acts 8:30-31 ... guidance needed to interpret scriptures. Heb 5:12 ... need to be taught.🤢🤢
Sola fide Jas 2:14-26 ... what good is faith w/o works? Heb 10:26-27, Rom 8:12-13 ... must avoid sin. Jas 5:20 ... "earning" forgiveness.

"buffet my body" Phil 2:12; 1 Pet 1:14-17 ... works have merit. 1 Jn 2:3-6; 1 Jn 3:24; 1 Jn 5:3 ... keep commandments. Intellectual assent (1 Th 2:13), confidence in promise (Rom 4:2- 3, Gen 15:5-6), obedience (Rom 1:5) and love (Gal 5:6) implied by faith.🤢🤢
Salvation (once and for all?) 1 Cor 9:27 ... after preaching ... I myself disqualified. 1 Cor 10:12 ... thinks that he stands ... lest he fall. Phil 2:12 ... work out salvation with fear and trembling. Heb 4:1 ... fear of failing to reach salvation. 1 Jn 5:16-17 ... some sins are mortal, some not. Rom 11:21-22 ... spare branches, continue or be cut off. Heb 6:4-8 ... believers can apostasize, be damned. Heb 10:26-29 ... those sanctified who sin can still be damned. 2 Pet 2:20-21; 1 Cor 8:10-13; Gal 5:4 ... righteous can fall.🤢🤢

Mt 12:32 ... no forgiveness ... nor in the age to come. 1 Pet 3:18-20 ... might be purgatory (limbo?). 1 Pet 4:6 ... preached to the dead. Rev 21:27 ... nothing unclean shall enter heaven. Heb 12:23 ... souls in heaven are perfect. Col 1:24; 2 Sam 12:13-14 ... "extra" suffering. 2 Mac 12:43-46 ... sacrifice for the dead.

Jas 5:14-16 ... forgiveness of sins, anointing of the sick, confession. Lev 19:20-22 ... priests as mediators of forgiveness. 2 Cor 2:10 ...

Did any bishop in the 1st century claim to be a pope i.e 2 of them😎😎
@@bibleman8010 no.
I should say they should start reading Matthew 16:18 wherein Jesus founded a church. And then go through history and search where is that church now. Jesus said that even the gates would not prevail against His church. That church must have never fallen throughout history.
If the claim of RCC is true that she is the true church founded by Christ, everything should follow (papacy, purgatory, Mary, etc) since Jesus said in Matthew 16:19 and Matthew 18:18 "...whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven". Whatever is approved by the Church is approved by Jesus. In other words, the church is infallible.
Pathological hater and TROLL.
📜 Jeremiah 1:4The word of the Lord came to me, saying,5“Before I formed you in the womb I knew a you, before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
6“Alas, Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.”
7But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you.
8Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord.
9Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth.
10See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”
📜 Jeremiah 7: 2“Stand at the gate of the Lord’s house and there proclaim this message:
“ ‘Hear the word of the Lord, all you people of Judah who come through these gates to worship the Lord.
3This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Reform your ways and your actions, and I will let you live in this place.
4Do not trust in deceptive words and say, “This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord!”
...16“So do not pray for this people nor offer any plea or petition for them; do not plead with me, for I will not listen to you.
17Do you not see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18The children gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough and make cakes to offer to the Queen of Heaven.
They pour out drink offerings to other gods to arouse my anger.
19But am I the one they are provoking? declares the Lord. Are they not rather harming themselves, to their own shame?
LoL.. man, you keep throwing out these verses on her videos. Luckily we have the One Holy Apostolic Church- the Catholic Church- created by Jesus, and given to Peter to lead after Jesus left. He had the keys.. and gave these keys to successors- to this very day.
@@dsonyay Jesus gave no keys in MT 16
Lolol. Ok. LoL. Thanks Pope Sola
That’s not very sola Scriptura of you lololol
The Woman and the Dragon
12 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. 3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born. 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.”[a] And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne. 6 The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.
7 Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down-that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
“Now have come the salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,
who accuses them before our God day and night,
has been hurled down.
She doesn't understand Calvinism. Her criticism of it proves it.
Guess I wasn't predestined to get it! 🥴
@@calledtobedifferentVoce está predestinada a ser católica. 🙏🙂
@@calledtobedifferent Hilarious. Well said.
@@calledtobedifferent Its sad you don't know Scripture well:
"For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; 30 and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified."
Romans 8:29-30
" predetermine: - determine before, ordain, predestinate."
According to Calvinism, God actively chooses certain individuals to be saved, and he gives them grace that will unfailingly result in their salvation. Those whom God does not choose don’t receive this grace, so they are inevitably damned.
