    I am a souther Baptist, and my wife and i are starting RCIA this Sunday. I have been studying Catholicism for 8 months and concluded by listening to the early church fathers that the Catholic Church is RIGHT. My church always teaches that Paul is are Apostle and Jesus teaching is for the Jews only. The church only obeyed Paul letters and said Jesus' teaching is not for Gentiles only for Jews in that era. Pray for us as we start our first RCIA class this Sunday. The only thing I struggle with is praying to the saints and Mary.

      We will certainly pray for you and your wife! And an understanding of intercession will come with time. You are not alone. Here's a cool list of what the early Church fathers said on the matter: www.churchfathers.org/intercession-of-the-saints. Not to mention this: www.catholic.com/tract/praying-to-the-saints.
      Peace be with you on the journey. Perhaps one day you'll share your story here. God bless!

      “IF” you have not already, please consider going to Adoration of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament (also known as “Holy Hour”). Call your local parish and find out when they offer it. Then, just go and sit in silence in Christ’s Presence. Take your bible. Read scripture, pray, contemplate. Tell the Lord of your search for truth, of your doubts, worries, even fears. Then, be as patient with Him as He has been with you. When you receive the grace to know that HE IS THERE, you will be forever changed. Miracles occur in Christ’s presence - of that I can personally attest.

    I was a Pentacostal and when I was quite young I did something that shocked my pastor. I read the Bible and went mega literal. I went so literal I thought that communion was literally the body and blood of Christ. Their only defense was ... "That can't be true....if it were we would have to be Catholic" The were wrong of course they could have been Orthodox as well ;) That being said about 5 years after that I converted. I got deep into church history and scripture, and I ended up Catholic. It is a definite pattern.

    Points about Protestantism: 1) It is founded on the human ego. 2) It is religion for the hard of thinking. 3) It most certainly is the "other gospel" which Paul prophesied. 4) It is now undefinable. Are there true, humble Christians in Protestantism? Of course! Yet, as a novel and worldly ideology, its fruits tend more toward chaff than wheat; more toward contention than accord, more toward accusation than inquiry, more toward suspicion than love, and more division than unity.

  • @jeromepopiel388
    @jeromepopiel388 День назад

    Listened with great interest. To begin, one comment Scott made was "were could you find a good source of teaching"? Well when I was born again in 92 that wasn't a problem. I knew very little, but went to Christian bookstores and there was so much. But I did notice one writer that had a huge number of books on all the most intriguing subjects and that was Watchman Nee, the Chinese evangelist. What an incredible source! Gave me a great grounding. Of course there sre the classic authors like Charles Spurgeon, Arthur Pink, Oswald Chambers. And more modern such as Warren Wiersbe, Derek Prince. But for me there was also Moody Radio which at the time was focused on teaching rather than music entertainment, but the young crowd no longer is interested in sound teaching.
    And if you know God though sound biblical teaching you would know there is no reason for infant baptism which leads me to believe that Scott had weak biblical teaching and was understandably confused by studying the reformers who got a few things right but were all over the place on doctrines.
    The purpose of baptism according to the Bible is Death and burial, not new life (of the spirit) which happened when one repents.
    Romans 6:3
    [3]Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
    And then the next telling thing is that when you lose your faith in the authority of scripture, you take yourself down a slippery slope from which it is hard to recover.
    This is biblical authority...
    2 Peter 1:18-19,21
    [18]And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
    [19]We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
    [21]For the prophecy came not in any time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
    St. Peter here is showing that the Holy Word takes presedence over all tradition or experience and of course no on had a greater experience than Peter on the Mount of Transfiguration, but he assures us that the written scripture is the "more sure word".
    That is the biblical basis of Sola Scriptura.
    Scott just lacked sound teaching. I might be there too without a firm foundation.
    But I would encourage Scott to repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. I understand he prayed the "sinner's prayer " , you must also understand the gospel and how lost you are without the blood of Jesus and how to receive.
    There is no sacrament that can help you...
    John 1:12-13
    [12]But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
    [13]Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
    There is no priest involved here
    It is a sovereign work of the HS.
    Thanks Eddie and Scott

    Which Catholic Church did this man join? The Catholic Church which says that salvation depends upon one's submission to the pope (Unam Sanctam) and one's union with Rome (Cantate Domino)? Or the Catholic Church which says that all religions are valid roads to God (Pope Francis)? Neither of the above align with the truths proclaimed in the Bible, (1) that salvation is by God's gift of grace through faith in Jesus Christ (not through faith in the church of Rome) and (2) that all who believe in Jesus as Savior will have eternal life but all who do not believe will be condemned.

    Catholic truth makes about as much sense as calling someone an honest thief. There are so many lies in Catholicism that I've lost count. For instance, at John 8:31, Jesus said: "If you obey my teaching, you are really my disciples; [and] you will know the truth." So, if Catholics have the truth, where in the Bible or in any other document did Jesus teach that...
    1. statues and relics can be worshiped?
    2. unmarried priests must be bound to celibacy?
    3. the Father, Son, and holy spirit make up "One Incomprehensible"?
    4. Mary could be worshiped?
    5. the Godhead is triune?
    6. the prayers of the Rosary can be recited?
    7. Mary was immaculately conceived?
    8. Peter was the first pope?
    9. "we worship one God in trinity"?
    10. the Father, Son, and holy spirit are one in nature, essence, and substance?
    11. "the Cross of Christ" and the "Crown of Thorns" can be worshiped?
    12. the Father, Son, and holy spirit make up the same "One Lord"?
    13. the holy spirit is a person?
    14. Jesus' birthday was celebrated one December 25th?
    15. meat was not to be consumed on Fridays or during Lent?
    16. the Father, Son, and holy spirit are co-equal in glory?
    17. homosexuals are "children of God"?
    18. novenas could be recited?
    19. babies could be baptized?
    20. priests could be addressed as 'Father'?
    21. Mary was a perpetual virgin?
    22. the Father, Son, and holy spirit are co-eternal in majesty?
    23. Jesus was "true God from true God"?
    24. Mary "has a separate and absolutely super-eminent rank among the saints"?
    25. purgatory is real?
    26. Mary could be prayed to?
    Clearly, Catholic truth and Christian truth are two totally different things.
