How a CHARISMATIC Evangelical Found the Holy EUCHARIST and the Ark of the New Covenant 

Welcome Home Michael🤗God bless you on your journey home🙏

I taught RCIA for many years, and apologetics is where my heart is. For me the answer to the question as to why we have Jesus on the cross, I tell them because I was saved by God hanging on the cross,. I wasn’t saved by an empty cross. And then the question always comes that the empty cross is a sign of hope. Oh no! Not even a rational argument! The empty cross is a sign of utter despair! Every single solitary person that has ever been crucified, left behind an empty Cross. The disciples were in despair on the night of Good Friday and all of holy Saturday. They had that empty cross and they despaired. So long as Christ was alive and on that cross, there was the hope that he might somehow step down. But once they pulled his body off the cross, and they had that empty cross that every person ever crucified left behind, they lost hope . The empty tomb is the sign of the resurrection. Without the empty tomb, all we have is an empty cross, and no resurrection, no hope.

This is one of my very favorite episodes!

Michael Oakland! Welcome Home, truly!!! I got ‘zapped’ in 2015 and I share the same appetite for conversion stories!😆 I cannot and will not stop rooting through our treasure chest! We literally have the opportunity to learn something new everyday until we take our last breath! I collect rosaries and would love to have one of yours! Please let me know if that’s possible. I didn’t see any contact info. I’ll pray for the conversion of your family!😇 My husband came back home in 2017 but passed away in January 2020. Life is too short, so I hope everyone who watched this wonderful conversion story will pray for his family to come home.✨❤️‍🔥🙏🏼 May God Bless you!✝️

Michael was great! Praise God and bless your work!!!

This channel helps me most in apologetics. Thank you Eddie.

As far as waiting for the eucharist as a convert. A wise catechumin said, "I made Him wait, so it's fitting that I have to wait to receive Him"

I just shared with my new Catholic friends to help them understand my perspective. As a 2020 convert, I could relate in so many ways!

What a beautiful testimony

This man’s testimony and conversion is genuine for he truly speaks it,tremendously great resplendent video thank you Catholic brother Eddie May God the Holy Trinity provide you with more sincere genuine conversion stories to his One Holy Apostolic Catholic Christian Church of Traditional Teachings and Worship yeah alleluia amen 🙏 🐑🕊️✨🔥

Thank you Lord for this brother well come home Amazing testimony thank you for sharing God bless

Michael, i love your sense of humor, you are a treasure. Welcome home

God bless you Michael.

I lol’ed when he said he wasn’t going to name drop any Protestant apologists who like to hide behind Greek to sound smart and then the next word he spoke was “Theopneustos”.🤔

Bless you my brother - what a straight forward, honest conversation, so no nonsense. Spoken with authority and passion. Very inspiring.

All I can think is "THANK GOD"

A great journey. Thank you for sharing.

So good, my brother! ❤

The Bible is the living Word of God and so the Eucharist is the living Word of God.

It’s coming to light right now why this “Catholic bad so don’t be Catholic” stuff we hear from the Prots seems so familiar in root content to me. For a long time (I’m old so “long time” means a LONG time) I heard “Don’t buy a Harley, they are bad because…” (insert here whatever thing could be made to be “bad” if you cackle on about it long enough) “…just make sure you buy (insert here YamaHonSuzuKaw of your choice) and then you will have a better one”. I heard this the whole time I have been an aficionado of motorcycling (longer than most people have been alive) until one day when me oldest Daughter, Mandy, asked me why I don’t ever even look at a Harley? I told her, “Naah, not interested in buying junk”, she told me I have never had one so how do I know? That was a fair question. All my info came from other people, it wasn’t my own experience I was referencing. The end of that story is I bought one. It was really REALLY good! I couldn’t believe I wasted all those years riding the metric bikes when these bikes are SOOOO GOOODDD!!?? There’s no comparing them that works. I love the ride and I love the wind and my Harleys have never left me stranded. The other ones all did and the Harleys last for decades and so does the satisfaction of ownership; the others all lasted a few years and then they either wore out or wore out on my satisfaction level. I still have the first Harley I bought with me Daughter and have had and have several others now. None have worn out and I still love them all. It makes me sad to sell one! I have to though because someone always comes along and wants to buy one just because they saw it in my driveway or somewhere. Catholic is the same thing. Prots bad mouth it and they can get away with it when we are dumb. Once we learn we know, once we look we see, once we seek we find, once we know we know. Jesus put it here. Really. He did. That is the Church He referred to as “My Church”. Hidden in plain sight! The only difference between that and the Harleys is that I only need one, one size fits all! It’s beautiful! 🙏🏼

Face it, we need God

Another wonderful story of Gods love thank you! 🙏

God bless !!! What a well spoken, interesting guest 👏 👍

Thank you Eddie God bless you keep up the good job I learn a lot specially about dicon best Explained thank you keep inviting our brother s

I learned a lot in this episode!

Why doesn't this channel have many more subscribers? ❤

This is an excellent inter v iew!!

Saint Mary's Anacortes??? Was it Fr. William Harris? He was rarely sent to a beautiful Parish. He ALWAYS left the Parish beautiful.

He mentioned he had been baptised Catholic, but not how he eventually discovered this fact. It would have been interesting to hear that story too, but maybe it's too personal to share with the world.

If you've learned and realized what this man has experienced, there is no reason to stay Protestant.

@25:00 mark, I call it Prot vomit.

I'm curious at 12:15 about which translations of the 10 percent are the good ones that match the original NT greek.

The crucifix shows us the human condition and that Christ fully entered into it. Christ fully reveals man to himself. I think that's what Vatican II said.

Protestantism makes one a Sola pope!

Namaste" is not yoga thing it's indian culture way of greeting each other. Just like Japanese bow to each other. 😊

I think I know who's he talking about at 13:10 😂😂 a certain master Roshi looking heretic

Wrong

The True God has an unexpected and hidden surprise with which the Church and Christians will pay all debts and taxes in a single instant at the end of july😄😁😋
