Thank you. I was dealing with cyberbullying and toxicity within my old friend circle. Most of those friends weren't real friends and I'm no longer on speaking terms with them. I hope to never see them again, but if God wills it, then I'll try to be kind to them with God's help. All of it is a blessing because it's teaching me to truly love my enemies without enabling their bad behaviors and staying firm in my faith, to be courageous even in the face of criticism, hatred, and envy, to live a life of humility, honesty, patience, and simplicity, and, most of all, to rely on God in all my trials. I'm learning how to create boundaries and live a better life. I'm learning to move on and look forward to what God has in store for me. May God bless us all in all our trials, suffering, pain, and joyous moments.
I recently subbed To your Channel. I myself consider myself a "Hippy" recently came back to the Catholic Church about 6 months ago. (I Left around the Age of 17) Anyways Love Seeing Fellow Catholics sharing Our Faith with the World. Considering starting a Catholic RUclips Channel Along Side My Cooking Channel. Keep up the Great Work of Educating Current Followers of Our Faith and Those who rant Catholic To help Give them the Answers they are Seeking.
My Priest told me that when a Christian is switching to another denomination within Christianity it's not called converting because they are already Baptized Christians they are just changing denominations. It's only called converting when someone from a different religion or without a religion joins another religion like Christianity.
What do you call it then? Homecoming? Full immersion? The Ecclesiastical Twist? While I appreciate the (presumably) ecumenical efforts of the priest in question, I don't know how on earth a Protestant heretic, fully indoctrinated in Protestant heresy, renouncing his or her devotion to that heresy by returning to the Catholic Church wouldn't qualify as a conversion. To be clear, I'm not using these terms in order to be confrontational or uncharitable. The definition of material heresy is clearly defined, and it certainly applies to things like Sola Fide and Sola Scriptura. That said, many of our distant cousins in Protestant denominations are outstanding people who, by no fault of their own, have been misled by faulty doctrine.
People converting from orthodoxy just need to make a statement of faith to become catholic. Orthodox baptism, chrismation (confirmation) and confession are considered valid so you don't need to go through RCIA; although it is recommended to learn more about catholic doctrines and their differences to orthodox ones.
REQIURES POWERFUL KNOWLEDGE TO NAVIGATE IN TODAY'S TURMOIL. Done for reason, they already know, they are done, so the next only thing for their relief to destroy for others, what they .... for themself. As far as watching, you did not create, just filter out the best and move on. You might take about 6 month to pull your mindset together. What others do, their responsibility, just make sure you do yours best. Also name, title important, hippie is for those after something else then you, why not full throttle ahead or something to propel instead .....🤩
wha about how can I fix, the real church those within, no such thing as ugly, except lethal, should not be adressed as church. FOCUS ON CORRECT TRACKS, HEALING TAKES TIME, ever seen to place rosary under your pillow, before sleep.
I had no idea you were on RUclips 😮😮 I just happened to look you up on Twitter X ....I left Facebook and Instagram for a while and was wondering how you were
Jesus opposes religion - and his disciples - not a denomination - are the true church. HE is the way, the truth, and the life - not any other "way". That's what he said.
I wanted to respectfully put my perspective here for anyone that is interested, but I personally don't agree with praying to saints because it is not in the Bible and is actually considered to be idol worship. All prayers should go to God, in Jesus name.
There’s many many verse in the Bible instructing to involve others in our prayers and that the prayers of the righteous are incredibly powerful. No different with the saints! “Pray” just means to ask, and asking the saints for their intercession is no different than if I were to ask you to pray for me. I’m guessing you have a perspective that we pray to the saints in the same way we pray to the Lord- that’s not true at all. It’s just that we believe the members of the church are our brothers and sisters in the faith, whether their souls are here or in heaven! This is based on the belief from John 3:16 and many other verses that those who are saved “shall not perish but have everlasting life”. Those who have physically died are still alive in heaven! Jesus had physically dead saints appear to him in the garden, Moses and Elijah appeared to him and spoke with him before he was crucified. Clearly the saints are alive in heaven and interested in the happenings of Earth!
Crystal: Do you believe in an altar call, the sinner’s prayer, the Trinity, or the rapture? They’re not explicitly mentioned in scripture. The mistake you’re making is thinking every teaching is to be specifically mentioned in scripture is incorrect.
@@bluegriffin9453 I understand that not everything is mentioned in the bible, but one thing that is mentioned in the Bible is not to worship false idols. I also understand that a lot of people pray to the Virgin Mary or to archangel Michael, when you can just go straight to the Almighty
@@crystallized23 Have you ever asked friends or family to pray for you to God? The relationship we Catholics have with the saints is like that. We can also go straight to God, but why not do both? The more people praying for us to God, the better! I wanted to clarify :)

Catholicism does not see itsef as a denomination but that it is where all the other denominations came from. Orthodox claim a similar viewpoint.

Good advice w/ excellent personal sharing.
