I've been watching catholic apologetics for about 9 months. Going to mass, coming from a myriad of protestant churches this is the first "denomination" that has captivated me in all ways for the lord. I'm just starting RCIA classes and can't wait.
@@timboslice980 bro it's honestly testing my patience... I mean Jesus dined with sinners, but the Catholic communion seems to me like it's a spiritual treat like a good job cookie the way it's withheld from sinners like me)-:
@@Travis-tx7um I feel pretty bad when I stand in line with my arms crossed feeling like I'm not part of the church. I've been going to mass, tithing, and I'm in RCIA but still not allowed to call myself catholic or take the eucharist. It's a bad feeling but a necessary one, after I'm confirmed I'll feel like I earned something. Think of all the people jesus helped and performed miracles for. They didn't attend the last supper, the meal was for those in his ministry and to be a part of his church we need to abandon sin and align our views with his as best as we can. After I'm confirmed I'll feel like I proved my faith

"By this, we are not to understand that all poverty is holy, and the possession of riches criminal; but, as luxury is the disgrace of riches, so holiness of life is the ornament of poverty." St. Ambrose of Milan.

Thou shalt over the Lord they God with all thy heart, mind and soul. No one that I know us capable of that. No man can ever become Jesus. No one is God. No woman is the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ. Humble yourselves to accept God's Grace and strive to live free of sin. How? Walk in God's light. Follow and live the Ten Commandments. Keep only unto God until in marriage then keep only unto your wife or husband and raise your children in the Word of Christ. Your life is not to serve false idols or boast and be maniacal in power. Do not seek to serve your body in lust with another keep only unto your wife or husband and she only unto you. Why can't you see how EASY it is to live your best life IF YOU FOLLOW GOD. GOD SAID ALL TEN COMMANDMENTS. DO NOT KILL DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS KEEP THE SABATH DAY HOLY HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER DO NOT COVET DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY THERE ARE THREE MORE... EVEN I FORGET WHAT THEY ARE BUT THE ONES I CAN REMEMBER ARE LIKELY THE MOST IMPORTANT. I AM NOT TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO --GOD IS. LOVE THE LORD NOT FORNICATE WITH MAN. LOVE THY NEIGHBOR. FORGIVE TRESPASSERS (CHANGE YOUR BEHAVIOR SO YOU STOP SINNING) Live the Word of God Even if you are Muslim or Jewish or Buddist or whatever your religion WHAT does your religious doctrine tells you to do? How do you define yourself as a success? Money? Possessions? Fame and adoration? How about how your kid sees you and how you treat your family? Does your dog or cat or bird love you unconditionally? Do you love unconditionally? Do you treat me with respect and dignity? If not then you are not capable of loving thy NEIGHBOR. Why do you dislike those that are different than you? We are all children of God. May you prepare yourself to receive God's Blessings. Blessings are for all who accept God's Grace. May the Word of God give you the ability to find his Peace. Peace of the Lord be with you. 0415196610152022TOINFINITYAND BEYOND IN THE RESSURECTIONLIFE! It is great to be ALIVE! JOY JOY JOY!
The catholic church teaches that it provides salvation. Only Jesus leads to salvation. The catholic church teaches necromancy in praying to Mary and their catholic " saints ." Praying or seeking things from the dead is an abomination to God.
I was given a copy of the catechism book and I just opened it n it read Mary is Co redemptrix. I was shocked. If Mary is made Co redemptrix just for agreeing to be the mother of Jesus, the vatican should also make Adam n Eve Co Redeemers. In Rev 22 it reads DO NOT ADD OR TAKE AWAY FROM THIS BOOK. To do so would call God's wrath on the person or remove his name from the book of life. That means to be condemned to hell. N if the word of God says so, who gives the vatican authority to add or take away. U may argue that it is not literally adding to the bible but in essence to have it in the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH CATECHISM n 1.2 billion Catholics reading n believing that Mary is Co redemptrix is being disobedient to God's word. N there are many situations like this where u would say that the magisterium is empowered to do so. N if the Vatican is so powered then Rev 22 is null n void. The bible is God's word n no man has authority to add or take away. That's why the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH is truly a false church n heretic yet it considers everyone else heretic. It makes me sick to know that 1. 2 billion Catholics are deceived n on the road to destruction. Look at the lives of the average baptised catholic. Drink, smoke, fornication, filthy language, adultery, lewdness, unforgiving, pride, lying, dishonest, cheating etc. And all claim they deserve heaven. Get yourself born again n in the Spirit then preach salvation to Catholics. Don't waste your time on videos that are empty n shallow.
I was ex-Protestant; came to the Catholic church and realized the 35K+ churches and different truths cannot be the Church Christ built in Matthew 16 nor does that align with John 14:6, that Jesus is the Way, Truth, and Life. (NOT truthS, wayS, of liveS). There is one way and one truth. When I realized that, and after searching out the truth of the Catholic church, which has stayed the same since Christ built it 2K years ago, I realized as a Protestant, what the protestants THINK they know about the Catholic teachings is wrong. Everything Catholic church teaches does NOT contradict with the Word of God, and vice versa. Don’t take my word for it though, look it up yourself. Talk to another Catholic in love and genuinely seek to understand the Catholic faith first. You might learn alot!
@@o.o.2255 well said. So as a Catholic who searched out the Catholic Church, pls explain th following. When jesus said I AM THE WAY, TRUTH N LIFE, does tht tell u tht only the rcc has the truth n is the way. Certainly not. So this verse has nothing to do with truth. I think u mentioned the word lie. If the rcc is truth, pls show proof the Mary was conceived sinless as per the Catholic dogma, Immaculate Conception. Bible says ALL HAVE SINNED. Does the Roman Catholic bible say ALL HV SINNED except Mary? No. Keep searching for this proof. U won't find it anywhere in the world, even not in the vatican. N jesus said lying is of the devil jn 8. N when u can't find proof of the Immaculate Conception then u must conclude tht the magisterium has decreed a lie n lies. So with the Assumption of Mary. N pls be aware tht liars don't inherit heaven, Rev 22. So the lot of the magisterium is doomed to hell. Peter n the apostles were not Catholic. They were Christians n Peter was not infallible, so how does a fallible man associated with pedophiles and sodomites, porn watchers, vatican orgies, drunkenness, gay bars, fornication etc ssuddenly become infallible? Yes vatican orgies are even in the vatican archives. So how did u research? were the apostles made up of pedophiles n sodomites? N can a pedophile change bread into the real body of Christ? No way. Pls Google LORD GOD THE POPE n watch Lucifer enthroned in the vatican on RU-vid. The proof is all there for u, which u did not research. The rcc teaches tht Catholic baptism saves catholics. Tht means all catholics shall inherit heaven. Now look at the lives of baptised catholics. Pedophilia, sodomy, swearing the 4 letter word, lying, lewdness, fornication, adultery, idolatry, etc. N do u expect these lot to inherit heaven. N jesus said only born again believers can inherit heaven. How many catholics u know are born again. Ask your priest if he is born again. He will say I'M BAPTISED. Then tell him tht jesus never said baptism saves Catholics. N did u seek the Holy Spirit, pray n fast before becoming Catholic. I'm sure not. Read your bible. Even the Catholic bible will not say tht the rcc saves catholics. Btw do u know tht the cath catechism has made Mary Co redemptrix n Co mediatrix. Does the Catholic bible allow tht. Is Mary also your redeemer. N can u pray to Mary when bible says only jesus mediates. Come on, come on. God gave u a brain to think, use it
