Scott Hahn's Advice to Converts. Must watch! 

Happy for your brother. Praise be to God!

Welcome home!

I am SO happy for you! How amazing. I really believe you’ll be the reason a wave of other Jewish believers follow suit. So cool!

Shalom brother

You probably already know, but in case you don't, there is a great website called Hebrew Catholics. Baruch HaShem Adonai!

Allison Steinke Welcome home! May our Lord bless you and your family (from New Caledonia)

Allison steinke welcome home may the lord and his holy mother make you grow spiritually and learn more about the holy catholic church

Wow!!!! Welcome home.

Allison, It is a blessing to have your family in the Catholic Church because this year is the year of St. Joseph in the Catholic Church. God bless your big family, St. Joseph is the head of the family and a great example of Fathers

Congratulations Allison, welcome home 🏡 to the heart and hearth of the Gospel. ❤

Welcome home!!

Thank God. Welcome home!!!

My return home was 2018! Bless you, brother!

Wow!!!! Welcome home!!!!!! Much love. Please, preach the faith to the former members of your congregation. It's good they too become aware of the truth.

I lived with closed eyes, having a long time friend (20+ yrs) as a permanent Deacon trying to convert me, all to no avail. Then our Lord converted my heart over even more time. When I told my friend, he almost fell off his office chair! Our Lord amazes me: I love Him more than I thought possible.. now this old 🇨🇦 Anglican has a new Blessed Mother! Who woulda thought!!

You are and have always been a catholic, Galatians 6:7 “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

The catholic (universal)church was the original Church of CHRIST, but in the fourth century A D, emperor Constantine In order to consolidate the Roman Empire merged The catholic (universal)church with Roman Paganism thereby creating the Roman Catholic Church!

The whole world will soon love Mary because she is coming very soon to bring the spirit of God just like she brought the light to the world our savior jesus christ Well, she is coming now to bring to the world our true savior her son jesus in spirit in her. Remember, it's not the end of the world, but it is the end of this era, and we were the chosen generation 🙌 God will exalt his mother so who ever rejects his mother in this divine warning from God are rejecting her son jesus and unfortunately some are going to reject and follow the anthichrist the only way that Gods children will be saved is through Mary because God will show us the whole truth and this brings me to genesis chapter 3,15 were are facing the battle between our mother against Satan and his followers 🙏 🔥 will come down very soon to purify our souls for the new world to come so who ever stays in the heart ❤️ of Jesus and his beloved mother will be saved and will not parish and will be able to enjoy the new heaves here on earth there will be no more death, no more dicieses no more wars etc. Finally, the kingdom of God will be established here, and finally and all who follow the anthichrist will be thrown into the lake of fire with Satan and with all of the fallen angels, saint Michael the archangel with Raphael and Gabriel are protecting the children of God for this battle which no other generation experienced before and by the way I fell so bad for our brothers Protestants because they belive in the rapture well I have bad news for them there will be no rapture but a huge tribulations and the only rapture that will have is the only ones who consecrated to the immaculate ❤of Mary and the sacrade ❤ of jesus these are the only two pillars for our salvation there is no other way but our mother of mercy will come to bring the mercy of God for this lost generation who are bar far away from the grace of God, thanks be to God 🙏 for giving us his beloved mother to bring mercy to all of her children because God would come as a judge right now like our Protestants brothers they think who in this 🌎 would be saved? Well I'm sure probably 5% because the world is in darkness in mortal sin etc. But she is coming it's mother Mary so if you hear a prophet saying that our lord is coming but it doesn't say that his mother she is coming first don't listen to them because they're false prophets but if they mention that our mother she is coming with her son with Michael,Raphael and Gabriel yes this prophet is real, may God bless you and welcome to the fathers house and don't forget stay with Peter our beloved Pope Francis because there is another message from our lord Jesus that talks about our beloved pope Francis and Jesus says that who ever is against Peter ( pope Francis) his agisbt me you do not belong in my kingdom you belong with lucifer who is trying so hard to manipulate minds of many to go against pope Francis with false claims pope Francis his being like a lamb ready to be slaid for his church he is the bishop in white that our mother prophesied in Fatima portugal but it's OK she is coming be vigilant and just consecrate your family to our mother and she wil send out her angels to protect us ❤😊🙏

@@savedbygrace8337that is not true…. Research your history… If a emperor would’ve founded the Catholic Church, he would’ve named it “the constantins” or something of that nature…… knowing how emperor were with their egos

If you want more enlightenment join an RCIA and learn the wealth of scripture, history, and the magisterium of this religion.!!

Agree, i am cradle. Catholic too, and credit is given to those knowledgeable catholic convert

Hope you got a deeper conversion over the last two years! That CAN be you; the person with knowledge and zeal for the Catholic faith! I was in the same situation. Born and raised Catholic, but somewhere along the way became lukewarm. Having gone to public high school, I envied my Muslim friends because their dedication to their faith was astounding. I envied my protestant friends because of how passionate they are about their faith. I had a spiritual dryness that prevented me from believing and feeling Christ; basically was an atheist (altho I was in denial about calling myself that). It took me years after university before I got that the burning love for God, but before I felt His grace, I had to ask Him to reveal himself to me. I reached a point where I said I surrender everything to Him. I’d suggest first to ask God to keep your heart open to Him. Slowly start practicing (attending weekly mass, if you don’t already). Start praying the rosary daily to have a relationship with Him and have Mary intercede for you. Go back to confession as soon as possible, no matter how long it has been and no matter how grave you think your sins are. You’ll probably even have to confess sins that you DON’T believe are/should be sins. But they are, so do it anyway. Our secular society has allowed us to ignore our damnation to justify not following the Ten Commandments. Once you’ve confessed and know God has forgiven you, that’s when the holy spirit can really enter your heart and hopefully you’ll have a genuine, deep conversion to the point that you start living your life as a true Catholic and radiate love. 😊🙏🏻 Tbh I’m not sure I ended up typing my (deeper) conversion story. 😂 hope it speaks to someone.

I feel you...I'm a recent convert after 40 years of being a Protestant, around a decade of which was in formal ministry. I can truly say: do NOT envy us, as our burdens, challenges, and regrets can be many. Rather, try to encourage new converts in their completely new LIFE (including identity). Some of our zeal and freshness will undoubtedly infect you.

I'm a cradle Catholic and I am proudly a "convert" of converts.. The converts showed me the way, the truth and the Life by what they saw and gave up to be Catholic.. Awe-full!

Me too. That's a great way to put it!

My same experience. I’m so grateful for my Protestant upbringing and hope that I can bring those benefits into the lives of my now “cradle Catholic” children

Wow. God works in mysterious ways.

That is so beautiful!!

💥Viva!🙏

That is so amazing!

Welcome back home, sister!

The Apostle Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." That is, simply by asking, you can now Christ, be born again, made new by the Holy Spirit. In fact, referring to the Holy Spirit, Jesus said, "Whoever believes in Me will have rivers of living water bubbling up inside them unto eternal life." Conversely, if you are not filled with the Holy Spirit, if you do not have that river of life, neither are you saved. These are not my words, but the Lord's! Beware of Catholic teaching! Paul said that if anyone preaches a different gospel, they should be accursed. Do Catholics teach a different gospel? Do not take my word for it, read the Word of God. Again, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." You do not need Catholic ANYTHING to be saved! In fact, just by asking, you can know Christ. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

@@kenshiloh Jesus said other words that you don't accept" take and eat of this.this is my body which will be given up for you for the forgiveness of sins" you still refuse to accept that is his body.

@@josephssewagudde8156 Hi. Concerning Christ's words, "This is My body...", Jesus often spoke in parables. For example, is Christ really a vine, a lion, or a rock? In fact, it is inconsistent with these other metaphors to claim that He is not an actual piece of bread. Conversely, if Christ always spoke literally about Himself, it would be safer to take Him literalistically. Yet, you have not answer my question: is it true that, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)" or does a person need to be baptized to be saved? With one exception, no Catholic, so far, has had the respect and integrity to answer my simple question. That is, one young Catholic wrote, "No, it is not true the whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." Though heretical, at least she was honest! Through the Cross of Christ, we can know Christ! By the blood of Christ, we can enter into the Holy of Holies, to have communion with God! Baptism and communion are important, but knowing Christ is salvation. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

Thank you Keith and Dr Scott. You both make us cradle Catholics ashamed but energised!! God bless you and your families.

@@margaretboey8582, why should we be ashamed? As Scott says, our conversion is daily, whether cradle Catholic or not. Late laborers to the vineyard receive the same reward as the early ones.

@@kenshiloh We catholics hate the bible.

Good question,where are the mentors? I’ve been 12 years back in the Church. I was so excited at first but it has been so difficult to find fellowship. I recently got involved with a Catholic mens group and I’m praying for its success, Such groups are so desperately needed in the Church.

Welcome home and peace be with you

Welcome. I agree

Welcome home!

Wow! Welcome to the true church of Jesus Christ! God bless you abundantly!

Welcome Home! I returned to the one true Church 17 years ago. Truth is beautiful!

You two gentlemen are blessed and God sent. May the Lord give you more years so you can evangelize more fruitfully. Im very proud to have you in His Church.

@gaetan villeneuve satan is speaking through. Mary is the mother of God. Blessed Virgin Mary hears every prayer from every one at the same thing just as Jesus hears every one

@gaetan villeneuve satan is speaking through you. Without Mary, there is no Jesus

And many Catholics to a richer understanding of their faith and to deeper discipleship

@gaetan villeneuve Was Jesus sinless?

The Apostle Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." That is, simply by asking, you can now Christ, be born again, made new by the Holy Spirit. In fact, referring to the Holy Spirit, Jesus said, "Whoever believes in Me will have rivers of living water bubbling up inside them unto eternal life."

Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

I get a lot of flack for coming onto Catholic posts and, in a friendly way, challenging Catholics on what they believe. It is so difficult for me to do! Yet, the Apostle Paul said, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." That means that at least one of us has a false gospel! Moreover, Jesus said that those who are condemned will go to the same place as the devil and his angels, that there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. I love Catholics and do not want them to wind up in hell. That said, I am not here to merely present the Word of God, but to listen. If I am wrong, may the Lord lead me into all truth. May the Lord lead US into all truth. Amen? That said, the Catholics I have conversed with seem to be highly intelligent, yet not one of them seems to understand the concept of 'contradiction.' For example, suppose I were to offer you $50 for mowing my lawn and you completed the job. Yet, instead of paying you, I told you that you must also wash my windows. That would be a contradiction. By comparison, the Apostle Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)." Yet, Catholics teach that, call all you want, you will not be saved unless you are baptized. In fact, they have all kinds of Bible verses that 'demonstrate' how baptism is necessary. Yet, they will never deal with that concept of a contradiction. So which is it, beloved Catholic: whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved or whoever calls and is baptized shall be saved? Both cannot be true. One Catholic was at least honest - though heretical! She wrote, "No, it is not true that whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." Frankly, I have more faith that she will eventually arrive at the truth over the Catholics who are so dishonest. For example, one said that to 'call' is the same as being baptized, so I gave an analogy, "I thought of an old friend, so I thought I would give him a baptism (i.e. call)." How about, "I tried to get ahold of you last night, but I guess you missed my baptism (i.e. call)." No, the Bible means what it says: if you call upon the Name of the Lord, you shall be saved. That is, Catholics simply misinterpret verses that, supposedly, claim the necessity of baptism for salvation - either that, or the Bible is contradictory. If so, should I believe the verse that you share or verses like Romans 10.13? Eternity is speeding at us all, like a Mack truck. Where will you be? Do you know Christ? You can know Him - just by calling on the Name of the Lord! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

@@kenshiloh I do not understand what you are on about. If you think Catholics do not call on Jesus and do not know that He is the truth & the way & the life, then you're choosing to be blind. You can not understand Catholic dogma, doctrine, or history in isolation from each other. Your own beliefs seem to be based in "sola scriptura" but there are many reason to see that is not historic and not even scriptural. The earliest Christians knew Christ left us the church, the apostolic churches. That church assembled the Bible. When Luther & the reformers changed the Bible they used ideas from the diaspora of people who rejected Jesus. They reject books that have an impact on Catholic dogma and doctrine. We know now more about the divisions in the Jewish world from the Hellenic culture dominating the area to the destruction of the temple and the diaspora. We know the rabbinical tradition that developed after that was not the whole of that population, so to put trust in their scriptures or their interpretation over the church founded by Christ seems risky. I say risky because we should all worry about our souls. Just as the earliest Christians, we want to say "Credo!" (I believe!) as we die. But dying is easy. We have to live the faith fully. Can you go it alone? Can you look at the syllabus, see what the reading list on it is, read most of it but ignore some, and say "see you at finals!"? Maybe. But to understand Catholicism you have to understand the heresies and attacks on the Church, understand the history of the early church and what was believed and how that grew and clarified itself over time. You mention "contradiction", but I offer in response to what you call contradictions "nitpicking" or to the sliver you see I suggest the timber in your eye. You might point to problems in the Church, I'll remind you the Church had its first betrayer while the Word that was made flesh still walked among us. Look at the SSPX series The Crisis In The Church on their channel. Lay Catholics do not have to have the answers you seek. We want to die saying "Credo". You should know that, unless you don't really want answers.

@@loulasher Hi. Thanks for writing. By the grace of God, I am genuinely after the truth. You reject sola Scriptura and I actually do not have a problem with adding traditions to the Bible. Where I would like you to instruct me is what I should do when the teaching of the Catholic church directly contradicts the words of Christ. For example, Jesus said, "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him (Luke 11.13)." Now, are saying the words of Christ are true or do I need to be baptized to receive the Holy Spirit? Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)." First, please note the unity between Paul and Christ of the 'ask and you shall receive' purity of the gospel. Next, who do you recommend I believe: That is, the Catholic church says that you cannot be saved without baptism or should I believe Paul who said that anyone who asks shall receive? I am a disciple of Christ. He said, "My sheep know My voice and do not follow another." I do not know what the Catholic church used to be. Perhaps 1700 years ago, they actually taught the Word of God. Now, they contradict Christ, teaching the traditions of men over the teachings of Christ. What makes the Catholics immune to the same perversions that plagued the pharisees of Christ's day? In fact, are they not just like the pharisees, with their outward show and ritual? Yet, Jesus said, "This is eternal life, that you now God and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent." Salvation is simply knowing Christ and you meet Him just by asking! Moreover, those who know Christ obey Him and they endure to the end - otherwise they never knew Christ, otherwise they never called upon the Name of the Lord, otherwise they never received the Holy Spirit as they did not truly ask of the Father. I hope that you get to know Christ! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

@@kenshiloh Ken you are being disingenuous. I already pointed out your error in trolling lay Catholics to spoon feed for you. It's not my job to clarify anything to you. Go to a preist ot Catholic theologian. I'm not instructing you. I'm not qualified to give you RCIA. You take scraps of Biblical verses and wave them around like slogans as if the communities who first used them did not seek instruction and guidance from the church first and referred to scripture second if at all (literacy rates being one reason). If you really want answers you'd seek a Catholic preist or theologian. But you're trolling you tube comments. You're disingenuous. If salvation is as simple as you claim, then why do other verses contradict you claim? You're disingenuous. I hope you humble yourself and listen to a preist or theologian answer you. That's what I did before returning to the church, and I had tougher questions than yours. I would hate for you to pat yourself on the back all the way to hell.

Prayers for you Chris! Welcome Home Brother 🙏

Lucky you. I am a cradle Catholic. He made me more Catholic. I was looking for answers, then I saw Fr. Corapi on RU-vid. I was blown away. Next was Dr. Scott Hahn. And I am now a solid Catholic. Thanks be God. I hope to meet Dr. Scott Hahn someday. Just unfortunate that I live in far away Nigeria.

@@kenshiloh Of course Jesus is the Light of the World. But let me ask you the following: What did Jesus mean in "John 20 :22 Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive people's sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” ,,, Who was Jesus giving that authority/ power to forgive and retain sins? Was to to everyone in that room? Who has that authority today? In John 6 53 - So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; 55 for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. ...........So the question is did Jesus really meant His Body and Blood which he said repeatedly and repeatedly. Many of His disciples walked away after that. Why did they? Peace Brother

PRAISE The LORD

Believers are ALREADY INDWELT with the Holy Spirit. I don't understand the need for" literal presence/transubstantition'' if HE ALREADY ABIDES in us !? 🤔 Very confusing and conflicting

Hi. I am not a Catholic, but it seems that Catholics believe that baptism and communion are necessary for salvation. Moreover, that a person cannot know if God is pleased with them until the stand before Him on that Day. Is this true? My concern is that the Apostle Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Yet, Catholics seem to believe, "Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord, is baptized, and partakes of Catholic communion MIGHT be saved." Is this not a different gospel? If it is, then in all love and respect, I urge you to heed Paul's warning, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." By way of contrast, I called upon the name of the Lord and all heaven filled my soul. I was instantly saved and forever. As it is written, "We are seated in the heavenlies with Christ." Furthermore, as Jesus said every believer would have, I have rivers of living water bubbling up inside unto eternal life. Moreover, the Holy Spirit bears witness that I am saved (Romans 8.16). In fact, I can honestly say that, for 44 years, I have not even had a second of doubt that I know the Lord and am bound for heaven - not even for a second! I hope that you will obey the Lord and not follow anything that is contrary to the Bible, God's Word. I hope that you will have a genuine, saving encounter with Christ. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

Welcome home! I'm catholic from sarawak. Where u from? Yeah it's actually rare in malaysia that protestants convert to catholicism, it's more to the other way round. I agree that catholics are more reserved and quiet, so when you attend mass, most people would just keep to themselves, aren't as friendly. I can tell you that they themselves won't know you're a convert! Catholicism has kept its tradition since the early church fathers, of course we keep the Jewish culture in it. Do bear in mind that christianity was born with Jesus as the fulfillment of the scriptures that He is the messiah for the Jewish people. Jewish christians at that time worship God in synagogues before completely separating from them in later century. One notable thing happened when during Council of Jerusalem, St Paul argued to not impose circumcision on us gentiles, as it was the Jewish custom at that time (Acts).

@@kenshiloh but it was the Catholic Church that compiled the books of the Bible. Are you saying that they didn't read what they compiled? Lol

@@humphreyobanor866 Hi. First, 1,700 years ago, perhaps the Catholic church was on fire for Christ, having endured great persecution; we see all the time how suffering can purify the soul. Yet, is the Catholic church infallible? Is every Catholic leader genuinely of God? Is every thought and action of the church in line with the Bible? Moreover, not one of those who compiled the Scriptures are still with us! Those folks have been gone for centuries now! That said, if the actual people who compiled Scripture were found to be apostate, that would not make sense. Yet, Catholics have nothing to do with those who compiled the Bible. In fact, Catholics now teach a different gospel. Before Christ was born, Israel was continually go astray, bowing before their statues. Now, after the resurrection, are you saying that the Catholic church is any different than the idol-loving Jews of Christ's day? Moreover, I noticed - and please, no offense - that Catholics will totally ignore the Bible verses that I present, saying, "How could we be incorrect?" If you were I, would it not seem rather evasive, like dodging the question? I am not angry about it; I am concerned about your eternal well-being! For example, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)" and Jesus said, "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him (Luke 11.13)." Is it not clear from the Bible that, just by asking, you can know Christ, be born again, made into a new creation, be born into the family of God, born again? It is the glorious simplicity of the gospel. Yet, to the Catholic, it is all too simple. Can you not see the contradiction? I hope that you will get to know Christ - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

Amen sister Sunshine.

The Apostle Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." That is, simply by asking, you can now Christ, be born again, made new by the Holy Spirit. In fact, referring to the Holy Spirit, Jesus said, "Whoever believes in Me will have rivers of living water bubbling up inside them unto eternal life." Conversely, if you are not filled with the Holy Spirit, if you do not have that river of life, neither are you saved. These are not my words, but the Lord's! Beware of Catholic teaching! Paul said that if anyone preaches a different gospel, they should be accursed. Do Catholics teach a different gospel? Do not take my word for it, read the Word of God. Again, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." You do not need Catholic ANYTHING to be saved! In fact, just by asking, you can know Christ. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

@@kenshiloh Of course Jesus is the Light of the World. But let me ask you the following: What did Jesus mean in "John 20 :22 Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive people's sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” ,,, Who was Jesus giving that authority/ power to forgive and retain sins? Was to to everyone in that room? Who has that authority today? In John 6 53 - So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; 55 for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. ...........So the question is did Jesus really meant His Body and Blood which he said repeatedly and repeatedly. Many of His disciples walked away after that. Why did they?

Yes, Jesus is the only way you are correct!

It takes great mercy from God, not intellectualism for a pastor who ministers to many people and has prestige and livelihood attached to his ministry to convert to catholicism where they take a back seat

@@josephssewagudde8156, yes it takes God's mercy to come home. There are many pastors as yourself that have made the journey home to the Catholic faith. Eg: Scott Hahn, Marcus Grodie, Steve Ray, all great pastors who today make a significant difference by informing others about their journey and what brought them home to the Catholic Church. Do yourself a favour and watch Marcus Grove on The Coming Home on RU-vid and read Crossing the Tiber by Steve Ray or Rome sweet Home by Scott Hahn. I'm not angry at the stance you are taking but I'm asking you politely to watch and read with an open mind so that the Holy Spirit can make you too hunger for the Bread of Life (Eucharist). God bless🙌🙌🙌

Opus Dei Awareness Network is something to be aware of, so you are not led off the narrow pathway.

@@fabiotuan5206 Sorry you left. Remember the church is always there for you.💞✝️💒

@@albertaowusu3536 Remember also that "we believers are the church". Church is not a building or a system but a body of believers in a relationship with the Lord

@@albertaowusu3536 I love reading and listening to converts conversations story!

They definitely help in the deepening of our faith. I never have seen the Catholic priests be so on fire forJesus as they do nowadays. Amazing

You can be a Catholic or you can be a part of the Opus Dei cult, but you cannot be a Catholic Opus Dei.

Welcome home, and God bless you and your journey.

Welcome Home Kathy! Truth is beautiful! God is so good!

I am not a Catholic, but it seems that Catholics believe that baptism and communion are necessary for salvation. Moreover, that a person cannot know if God is pleased with them until the stand before Him on that Day. Is this true? My concern is that the Apostle Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Yet, Catholics seem to believe, "Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord, is baptized, and partakes of Catholic communion MIGHT be saved." Is this not a different gospel? If it is, then in all love and respect, I urge you to heed Paul's warning, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." By way of contrast, I called upon the name of the Lord and all heaven filled my soul. I was instantly saved and forever. As it is written, "We are seated in the heavenlies with Christ." Furthermore, as Jesus said every believer would have, I have rivers of living water bubbling up inside unto eternal life. Moreover, the Holy Spirit bears witness that I am saved (Romans 8.16). In fact, I can honestly say that, for 44 years, I have not even had a second of doubt that I know the Lord and am bound for heaven - not even for a second! I hope that you will obey the Lord and not follow anything that is contrary to the Bible, God's Word. I hope that you will have a genuine, saving encounter with Christ. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

Me too

Thank you brother

Catholics are not christians.

Bible Truth of course we are. Listen to these two men for a few minutes and tell me they are not Christian. They are beautiful examples of the Gospel and of Catholics who once were Protestant Christians.

@@tompalm64 pls read all my comments. Being christian or whatever is not important. Do u have good fruits

@@eireannemerald1382 what does this comment mean.

@@tompalm64 u cannot be a christian unless u are born again n obey the bible

Thank you for sharing that Kathleen

I've heard Jews who convert to Christianity say the same. Becoming Christian fulfills their Jewish faith.

Hopefully he becomes a future saint.

That’s true!!

@@kenshiloh The gospels Catholic teach is the one the Catholics put together. Question: As a 7 day Adventurists why are you using the bible that the Catholic POPE Damusus I sealed approved and canonized in the late 4th century? lol a 7th day Adventurist telling a Catholic how to interpret a Catholic book

@@kenshiloh You're such a typical Protestant, don't you see how your man-made "religion" has failed and created over 40,000 different Protestant denominations when Jesus said in John 17 he wanted ONE CHURCH. You are going against Jesus Christ wishes. The early Christians would consider you to be a HERETIC. You know the ones who died for Christ. That's right pluck a verse out of the Bible, that gives you the edge over Catholics. Question: But what if the verse I pluck sounds Catholic, then what do you do? Answer: "let me ignore that verse" sounds Catholic. What do you do with this verse in John 6 54 Jesus said, “Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and I will raise them up to the last day. My flesh is food indeed my blood is drink indeed.” 1st Corinthians Chapter 11 Let’s look at what St. Paul said, The Apostle Paul wrote, “For I receive from the Lord, what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed, took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, He broke it and said this is my body.” OH I KNOW WHAT YOU SAY, "THIS IS A CATHOLIC SOUNDING VERSE SO WE WILL SAY IT IS NOT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY". You're all the same, all 40,000 Protestants pluck a verse out of the Bible that fits their Protestant narrative. Then they create a church on a couple of verses they pluck out. Really Pathetic. Is it a wonder the USA is ruled by secularists. Its' easy for them when you Protestants are not unified. Its called divided and conquered and that's what you are. A nation that is divided and conquered by the Left, thanks to Protestantism

Welcome home!🙏😇

@@kenshiloh I read and understand your concerns. Many of times have I heard similar concerns. I would say to ya, with respect and philios love. “Like wise sir”. I invite you to view perhaps over a 200 people that weren’t Catholic, on a program called. EWTN The Journey Home. You will find many scriptures and the many people that have used logic and reasoning for their coming home. Hopefully you will give it a view or much more? Their you will find why Catholic’s believe the way they do. It is a journey to explain. Many questions will pop up in your mind. And these people can answer them as you view them. Straight from their mind and hearts. And you will see they are on the same page. Nothing more, or added. God bless you and yours. Plus the 6th of December is The Feast of The Real Saint Nick. With this find whom the real Saint Nick is. Merry Christmas, and a blessed New Year! Viva Cristo Rey!!! 12/04/21.

@@frankmez9370 Hi. Thank you for your kind note. That said, keep in mind that I love the Bible and believe it is true. Therefore, when Paul writes, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed," I sit up and notice. From corresponding with many Catholics for a couple of months now, I have learned a lot about the Catholic faith. For example, Catholics seem unanimous in saying that baptism and communion are necessary for salvation. Moreover, no one can have assurance of their salvation. Yet, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." By contrast, Catholics believe, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic, and partakes of Catholic communion might be saved." It is clearly a different gospel. Thank you for your invite to check out different Catholic sites and events, but I am concerned about following the Word of God. Unless you can reconcile Catholic doctrine with Paul, I would never want to displease the Lord by neglecting the Bible for another gospel. Moreover, if I am right about what Catholics teach, I am extremely concerned for your immortal soul. Again, I was soundly and forever saved when I met Jesus Christ. I was born again, born into the family of God. I am very secure in my friendship with God, as the Holy Spirit bears witness that I am saved (Romans 8.16). I hope that you, too, will have assurance of your salvation from an encounter with Christ. Jesus Christ is the light of the world. May the Lord bless you and yours!

Welcome home!! I am so happy to hear this.

Sorry to ask you, is this your real name

100% right statement👍👍

I am 68 and will be converting this Easter Vigil. It's never too late!

Not too late at all!! I reverted back to the faith after living a very long life of “black sheep”. I too looked into Orthodoxy. I came back home 8 years ago and have been deeply devoted since then!! Never stop researching and learning- soak in all you can get your hands on. Pray. Pray some more! Find a good church and start attending daily Mass. May God bless you on your journey! Strengthen yourself with the full suit of armor because the evil hates it when we get closer to where God wants us!!
