I was born in a muslim family from Indonesia, but I've been an apostate from Islam since I was 20 years old. Now I am a follower of Christ and want to be His follower forever.
Congrats!
smart 👏👏👏
HALLELJAH ✝️😍brother. God bless ur family too..... Lord YAHWEH† saves u. Jesus is the human manifest of God ☝️..... We must do debate war against islam
You're blessed brother I hope many more Muslims like you open their eyes and come to Christ our Lord and savior ✝️✝️🙏🙏💚😊
Praise God!! Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life!
Ive changed from muslim to Christian, because i believe that the bible and Jesus' testimony is both the truth and the life and light.
im ex muslim too,,god bless you
Imagine changing to a religion that says "worshipping stones is forbidden" and then go on to worship a man and his statue 😂
@98Sunshine That statue of apparent "Jesus" in church that in front they worship is you're oblivious about I think
@@Ligh1sssss idk about your state but in my state the only statue we put is cross, in the front of church and i nevrt see people worship it
@@Ligh1sssss it is forbidden to worship statues as a Christian. What are you on about 😂
As a person who was born Catholic, left the church and became atheist at teen, and finally repent and return to the Lord only recently as 24 years old man.
I can only say that those who left God will eventually return to him once they have arrived at the "nothingness" at the end of the road.
Life is an equation, and God is the only key to the truth itself. Praise the Lord.
Did you return to the Catholic Church
@@Damian1975 I am, yes.
All gods are fiction. People create gods, leprechauns, unicorns, jackalopes and Jedi Knights. People create fiction.
@@michaelmcfeely6588 I once came to that conclusion too, my friend. So I understand your viewpoint all too well.
Well, I believe that RUclips comment section isn't sufficient enough for such discussion.
But all I can say is that once you are _there_ at the end of the road. Once you gaze that "nothingness" as a conclusion of all your grains of thoughts with your very own eyes, then you would finally want to open your heart to the truth. And the truth is God in the person of Jesus Christ.
Are you Catholic again or not?
Also do you mean internal Atheism or external?
I was born Hindu. I became a true secular by my late 20s.. & then studied & explored the nature of all major "religions" of the world & characteristics of the people & societies following them. And realised that there is nothing as stunning & as intelligent & wise as the VEDIC philosophy & Dharma. Every thing else is a commandment to order people & societies into submission & become foot soldiers of the religion. Vedic line of thought, way of life & view of looking at the universe & life is so exploring & enricbing.. The basis of all scientific & spiritual exploration.. within & without. With VEDIC philosophy, you become one with the universe while still being able to look at it from the outside.
Indian society though has gone into decay due to being cut from its roots by barbaric islamist invasions & cunning conversion mafia of missionaries. But the VEDIC & Hindu seed is so potent, it always revives itself even through adversity. Coz it is the most natural thing to do. Also, religions are simplistic.. They shut down human ability to think. Dharma, on the other hand.. makes humans evolve to a higher consciousness. No wonder the level of discourse today in the world has gone garbage.. that it has no capacity to identify quality & wisdom. I'm going back to the Vedas & all its chants. "I'm the universe"
do you want knowledgable truth ?If you are gay or transgender or know someone who is, this is important information! It has been determined that sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetal development. Various hormones such as testosterone are introduced at specific times & amounts which determine physical, biological & psychologic features of the fetus. It is, therefore, not a choice by the fetus or mother & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural path of life’s evolution & found commonplace in nature. Extensive medical research clearly explains this process. Those who believe it is an abomination do so based not on facts but on religious authority. I totally accept that this is their right to believe this and I understand. It must be made clear however, it is based on religion not science. If you are truly interested in the truth based on knowledge, facts & research, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay explains this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for others & yourself, this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years ago by men that had, unfortunately, no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book if you want solid factual understanding. If you chose to respond to me, please read this book &/or the numerous articles referred to in the reference section beforehand. I do not want to waste your or my time if your claim to understanding is based on religion. The public must be exposed to facts & knowledge. It is an obligation for those who know the truth & defend it. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance & intolerence. Peace
@@dan69052 "do you want knowledgable truth ?If you are gay or transgender or know someone who is, this is important information!" pretty biased. People have many problems, those above arent the main discussion of the role humanity, example, how to deal with crimes, diseases, wars... But unfortanely, you preffer to use science (in this situation) to discuss non relatable problem to most part of the humanity. The end sentence with " It is an obligation for those who know the truth & defend it. " its like closed mind person would say and jugde others, despise the problems they already have and fight against, with the help of science (Artificial inteligence increased security, techniches helped to do research about ways to proper help the unhealthy, cyrigies, cancers, mechanical structures to manage many products and send the to travel around the globe and consequently making the economy rise, etc.). Dont be intolerant to people that doesnt think 100% like you. Knowlegde isnt imposed, its adquired. Peace.

Its ironic: many generations grow up in church and sadly abandon it later. Now we're seeing kids growing up in God-hating environments, miraculously returning to God!👏
Some of the organization message in those buildings would drive many away.!
If my son comes to God, it will SURELY be a miracle. He's undoubtedly POSSESSED! They got a tight hold over him and are not letting go. No telling how many there are like him.
going to church and returning to God are VERY different things. If God is real and the gospel true this distinction absolutely must be understood
That sounds awful, @@aguerra1381 , about your son.
I hope someone can tell him about Jesus, so he can rid himself of such people.

As a former agnostic, then toured many Protestant churches, the Lord has finally led me home to the Holy Catholic Church.
Praise Jesus you found Him and His Church.
Roam Around ; what makes you think that the Lord led you back to a Church that is far from Holy and why call it home . Do you not know what the scriptures say about the Church , which is the Body of Christ . made up of saved believers . it is the one he died for . not the apostate catholic church with its unbiblical dogmas and doctrines and the catechism , with a false Gospel of work base salvation ? plus the fabricated lie that salvation is only found in the catholic church and its sacraments .Read the scriptures and if you are saved and indwelled with the Holy spirit it will teach you the spiritual truth . 1 Cor/ 2 : 10 - 14 ; READ !!!!!!
God would not do that.
I love Catholicism. I got some really good books too.
Praise be Jesus! I will be praying for you. Welcome to the Holy Catholic Church
Became Catholic in 2000 after researching the early church fathers. Best 23 years of my life so far! God is good. ❤️

Sandra . the early church fathers were not catholic .The Church at Rome was established by mostly Jewish coverts from Pentecost It was not called
catholic till the third Century . after the Roman Emperor took control of the Church in 313 AD
. and brought in pagan practices , and it become universal .what you are reading and listing to the is fabricated lies of the apostate catholic church

Catholics don't follow many bible teachings
Yay!
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is God's and Jesus Christ one and only true church here on earth. We know and teach the Bible and gospel better than any other denomination. Join God and Jesus Christ in their Kingdom and join their true church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and learn all that they have to offer. Learn of their glory and mercy, learn of the plan they have of you.
As a Gen Z Christian, my generation is more intensely divided more than any other I’ve seen between those who vehemently reject Jesus and those who have a loving personal relationship with Him. Sadly, those who reject Him receive more attention than those who don’t, and this bias in media, government, and school has personally disaffected many including me, though I will not let my faith in Christ be shaken even unto death.
That's not an accident.
God bless you! 🙏
Praise be to your faith, as well.
Jesus said that he came to bring a sword to divide those who were for him and those who were against him.
Amen! Endure to the end, Ambassador!
I was raised in a Methodist household when I was younger and now that I have my own family, we are now Catholic and it was the best decision ever.
The Catholic Church is full of people who don't read the Bible. They commit idolatry while calling it veneration of saints. They also teach unbiblical traditions.
When you tell Jesus you place full complete faith in him, (not an organization), then you will make the best decision of your life.!
@@user-im9ov9ud7m but Jesus put and organization so that everyone will belong to one house to Jesus church the pillar and foundation of truth. 1 tim 3:15. he entrusted Peter as the keeper of this church mat. 16:18.

@@user-im9ov9ud7m putting your faith to God means obeying God command. He established a church Mat. 16:18. In that church everyone who pledged to God must belong.

I am 23. I was born into an Evangelical family, but over the past year I have converted to Eastern Orthodoxy. The modern protestant world has become too removed from history and the teachings of the first Christans.
Glad to hear your journey ended in a good jump. Catholic convert here. I almost became EO, but became convinced of the papacy beforehand. I prefer everyone becomes Catholic, but am honestly still glad to see protestants becoming EO because at least EO has valid sacraments and almost exactly the same teachings save for a few points of disagreement.
@@Aethelhart I think protestants do a lot of good things, but they are overreacting to the Roman Catholic Church.
@@Aethelhart I really liked Josiah Trenham's book Rock and Sand. It looks at the reformation from a Orthodox point of view.

Very True!!!!! If you’ve been to Holy Land of Israel. COPTIC, Roman, Catholic, and Orthodox seems more accurate and fit in Bible. And it was proven by both science and scholars that artifacts and age is seems legit in the mentioned churches!!!

helloo i want to ask! i've learned ab catholicism since i was 14 years old too, but now i'm still afraid to convert by myself because my parents are devout protestants. i want to ask did you convert by yourself or you told your parents about it?
@@rizzomaz so my parents are non devout protestants they know about my conversion to catholicism, in your case it's unfortunate but their would most likely be some arguments, even I had arguments with my parents simply ask them to go to a catholic mass because you're "interested" in it or tell them you want to be a catholic.
If asking doesn't work grow in your faith until you are able too.

Researching online about the faith some good teachers are , Fr Mike Schmitt, cardinal Fulton sheen, Catholic answers, Catholicism in focus.
And a very important one Know the history of the church it will help I don't know what your knowledge on the church is but, Saint Peter became the first pope (Matthew 16:18 33AD) the word pope came after Christ all pope means is Bishop of Rome.
As a Gen Z Christian, I think it’s up to us to guide our generation. Especially with all of the things that is being pushed through the media. We have to be a good example of what it means to be a Christian and a good person

Unfortunately many churches have become lukewarm entertainment centers and not places where the Holy Bible, word of God and Jesus Christ are taught. Many of which, when Christ returns, he shall say that he never knew them.
Hey, this is true especially the Protestants ones. If you want real Christian and early Christian, Coptic, Roman Catholic, and Orthodox churches are the true ones. Because they were still practicing the old rites. Believe me!!! Not unlike today Bible Revision Bible Interpretation and Bible Version of different Bibles. Based on history and age the said churches one of them might be the true church that established by Christ!!!!!⛪️⛪️⛪️⛪️⛪️⛪️
As someone who was raised by Catholics and naturally was made to become a confirmed Catholic, I was left to think for myself after confirmation, nothing else pushed on me, and thus I fell out of practice. Didn't go too church or any religious activity/gesture for about 11 years.
But now... I have returned to the faith. Because in my journey I have learned: what else is there without faith? Without God? Without Christ? I felt empty without my faith. And only bad can take that place.
Thanks for sharing your story. I'm protestant and believe in salvation by faith alone in Christ, and I personally see problems between what the Bible teaches on Salvation and what the Catholic Church teaches. Have you ever heard of the differences in the beliefs in salvation?
@@JosephLachh I actually don’t really look into the differences between the denominations, nor do I really have a “viewpoint” of them. I never switched denominations nor religions. I just try to better my understanding of my own.
@@Fxrrxt2x Are you interested at all in hearing about the differences between Catholic doctrine and Protestant Christianity? Having the fundamental way of salvation different between the two, I find it extremely important to discuss, personally.
@@JosephLachh Sure, I’m interested. I wouldn’t mind a explanation of the differences.
@@Fxrrxt2x Absolutely! There are a lot of differences, but the biggest one is Salvation. This will be a long comment unfortunately, but I hope you're still interested in reading it: Protestant Christians believe in salvation through faith alone in Christ. Two verses that highlight this is Romans 11:6 and Ephesians 2:8-9 which say that if it is by faith, it cannot be by works and that we are saved by grace, not by works so that nobody can boast. The grace of salvation being accomplished by faith alone apart from anything one can do is a key element of protestant belief. (Other verses in Romans, and also John where Jesus discusses believing in him). However, Roman Catholicism, as you know, believes that you receive grace as a part of the sacraments. Faith in Jesus is only one part of washing away your sins. Therefore, faith and works are understood by James 2 to mean that works and faith are both a part of salvation and a unified concept, as works of the sacraments have grace inherently in them. Protestants give the sacraments no salvific value but are just ordinances. Additionally, one must go to a priest for confession to wash away sins otherwise these are dealt with in Purgatory. Catholics cite James 5:16 and John 20:23 for the need for confession. However, Protestants argue that this idea is foreign to scripture, citing 1 John 1:9 saying Jesus is the only one we must confess to. Ultimately, the reformation of Protestantism was a response to Roman Catholicism and a rejection of it. In the same way, Catholic doctrine rejects Protestants. The Counsel of Trent Session 6 Chapter IX says that anyone who believes in salvation by faith alone is to be Anathema (the beliefs are heretical). Other major differences have to do with if the Catholic Papacy and Magisterium have the authority to interpret the very passages they use to defend their doctrines to mean what they say it means verses using Scripture Alone (sola scriptura). Any questions?

For years I wallowed around in agnosticism. The problem there is there is no place to alight. I came to belief in Christ and found there is too much to explain away. He did not have an ordinary relationship with the physical world and was not confined to it, saying "I have overcome the world." I was baptized at age 32.

The biggest impediment to world religious harmony in the past and today is that organized faiths are teaching its followers my religion is the only religion, my path is the only path and my God is the only God. This breeds exclusion and intolerance and has led to historical persecutions. No wonder many from these religions are moving to unorganized polytheistic Eastern religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism (which propagates that there are many ways to the same god) in large numbers..
As a Baptist I converted to Catholisem , I found more Reverence and the Fullness of the mother church,
I love christianity 💙
I was a Oneness Pentecostal who became protestant before realizing that protestantism did not hold to the true faith either. I came home to the one true Church and one true faith in 2017 and was baptized into the Catholic Church in 2019.
The Catholic Church teaches a lot of unbiblical traditions. At least here where I live. A lot of Catholics don't read the Bible. Like my parents. They pray to saints and to images of Mary. They call it venerating instead of idolatry. They taught a lot of unbiblical stuff that I couldn't continue it anymore. I started to read the Bible on my own. I went to different protestant churches until I found a Christian non-denominational church where the pastor teaches sound doctrine using the bible, not traditions invented by man. When I go to this church, I actually feel Gods presence. I have never been to a church where the pastor actually cares about the people rather than just making money for the church. He teaches you about how to be saved biblically, instead of the watered down message most pastors preach. When the service is over, you feel like it went so fast and wish it wasn't over yet. Never have I felt the presence of God in another church. The Catholic churches I attended with my parents, the service was sad. I learned nothing about what God wants us to do, or the Bible. The church would just have routine mass and then announcements at the end of service for things they were selling outside. I learned nothing about the gospel or my savior.
@@strangeroamer3219 no
@@strangeroamer3219 I can appreciate the experience you had and am not denying your experience. I know for sure there are some bad priests and parishes out there, just as there are bad protestant communities. My quarrel would be that the key difference isn't which one subjectively feels is true, we can feel like anything is true if we are set in the right emotional state, the key difference is which is actually true.
Some priests do teach heresy and error. I know of one for example who seems to endorse LGBT disorders as good. Just like many protestants do. So the question is not which have leaders where none believe in error, but which Church actually as their official teachings teaches the Truth and only the Truth. The Catholic Church alone stands true in that regard.
I don't deny God works in some protestant communities. He did in mine when He led me home to the Church. But that working is always towards the Truth even if it's occuring in a place where those being worked on are currently outside it.
As far asking saints for prayer to saints, I don't see how that is idolatry or unbiblical, so you may have to clarify that point. What verse in the bible forbids that? We know from Revelation that the saints are before God in prayer, Revelation 5 even shows prayers being delivered to God as incense by those in heaven, a picture of asking the saints to pray for us as the ancient pre-Christian Jews did and as the earliest Christians did.
@@Aethelhart You ignored the claim of Catholics worshiping Mary. You can deny it all you want but Catholics in Central and South America will have pictures and statues of Mary and pray to her statue. The pope prayed to a statue of Mary to stop the pandemic and the war/conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Catholics have many prayers that you can recite that start of calling on Mary and talking to Mary so she can intercede on our behalf with God. If you are bowing down and praying to Mary for help and having religious rites to honor Mary then that is the definition of worship. Mary is wonderful and deserves recognition but she should not be worshiped and she does not play any role in heaven or mediating or interceding on our behalf with God and Jesus Christ. You saying that the prayers are through Jesus Christ doesn’t mean anything, we are directed to pray only to the Father in the name of Jesus Christ.
There is no place in the Bible that even closely resembles anything like what Catholics say about Mary. Mary wasn't talked about in letters by early church fathers like how modern catholics do until 295 AD. The veneration (worship) of Mary didn't start in roughly the fifth century. There is no evidence of Christians worshiping saints or Mary before the fourth century. By the 13th century, with the influence of Francis of Asissi and Bernard of Clairvaux, the Catholic Church began to make the veneration of Mary a large part of Christianity. It was in the 13th century that the phrase “Hail Mary, full of grace” was first used. Your traditions are not a part of biblical theology.
Worshiping Mary, the cross or a picture or statue of Christ (or Mary) goes against the 2nd commandment “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them…” Exodus 20:4-5 and Deuteronomy 5:8-9.
_"but which Church actually as their official teachings teaches the Truth and only the Truth. The Catholic Church alone stands true in that regard."_ LOL No it doesn't. How the relationship of God and Jesus Christ is described, necessity of baptism and the proper way to do it and when you are really considered "saved", proper priesthood authority, the laying on of hands to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, keeping the commandments and not being a sinner and actually following Christ, exaltation, baptism for the dead/preaching to the dead, 3 kingdoms of glory, doctrine of Adam and Eve, not worshiping idols (the cross and pictures/statues of Jesus Christ and Mary for Catholics), Creation ex Nihilo, Purgatory (For Catholics), God being a spirit, marriages continuing in heaven, and the importance of temples are all things that have been removed, changed or added later by creeds and/or Martin Luther and you teach these things despite some of it going against the bible. All of this can be shown from the bible and/or history and I can very much expand on each of these points for you.
_"What verse in the bible forbids that?"_ Where in the Bible does it say to do it?
_"We know from Revelation that the saints are before God in prayer"_ No, Revelation doesn't say anything like that. The closest you can get is Revelation 5:8 but it is symbolic of prayers from everyone going to God, not your saints.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is God's and Jesus Christ one and only true church here on earth. We know and teach the Bible and gospel better than any other denomination. Join God and Jesus Christ in their Kingdom and join their true church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and learn all that they have to offer. Learn of their glory and mercy, learn of the plan they have of you.
Have you been to Israel. Both expert and scholars support the ORTHODOX, Roman Catholic, and Coptic churches!!!! And your church was founded during the 18th hundreds so the succession and trace is question at your church. And proven to be self interpretation by your groups !!!!!! Open your eyes!!!!!

Jesus is real God
I'm not religious, but I am a Christian. I don't have a denomination, but I am a Christian. I love Jesus. I follow Jesus and His teachings from the Bible, which regardless of the number of times I read it, I always see something new and inspiring.
I watch Pastor Allen Jackson and Dutch and Tim Sheets, along with a few others who preach the gospel. I am bedridden, but I still have "church" with family and friends, usually by phone. I also manage to bring God into conversations with everyone I talk to, including telemarketers and wrong numbers! I love my Lord Jesus and talk to Him all throughout the day and night, not just while praying, but about the mundane things. I don't need a reason to talk with Him, because He is my best friend and I enjoy His company, His presence in my life.
Let God bring you closer to Him and He will write His word on your heart.
This is brilliant! Praise the Lord!!!
I meandered away from religion in my younger adult life, but eventually came back to Christ and the church and my life is definitely better for it 🙏
God bless ✝️
Jesus Christ has the power to save. I switched religions all my life but one day I met the savior and he set me free from the bondage of religion.
As a former Christian, I’m personally glad I left, church was hell, so many of my friends got raped and the police just looked away from it
Praise God God is moving America for Christ

Catholicism is Only Way, Only Truth and Only Life that leads to Real Love --- The Sacred Heart of Jesus, The Immaculate Heart of Mary, The Chaste Heart of Joseph.

Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Knowledge [throne] extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Quran 2. 255 please study Islam
This is scary hopefully people can find Christ❤🙏
This is nothing new. Many young people have ALWAYS left church & religion. They go out searching for truth and then return when the have responsibility and realize they need God and community.
Great point. 🙏🏼🎶

I'm Gen Z, and I go to a non-denominational church, but I consider my theological beliefs to be close to that of the Baptist faith. I started to go back to church after COVID, and I couldn't be happier. I think that people are turning away from religion because they haven't found time to attend services as much since the pandemic. I thank the Lord that I am back in my wonderful church. Amen.
Non-Denominationals are all Crypto Baptists, according to the RUclips "RedeemedZoomer"
There is one serious doctrine you may like to think about.
God said in Exodus, do not make images of anything either in heaven or on earth....
Now, any symbol that is associated to any gods is an image prohibited by God according to Baptist understanding. Baptists will normally condemn any items used by say Hindus in their worship rituals as things prohibited by God.
Usually during Easter, Baptist Churches have communion service or the celebration of the Last Supper .
Bread is taken as symbolic body (image) of Jesus. Wine is taken as symbolic (image ) of Jesus' blood.
So, you may like to reflect whether Baptist Church broke God's commandment or not.
Baptist Churches also have crosses placed in their churches. Whether this cross is an image God prohibited in Exodus or not. And if cross is not an image, what is it?
Also how do Baptists have communion with Jesus when they take bread and wine? Can a symbolic thing establish true communion? Do Baptists have symbolic communion when they take symbolic body and symbolic blood of Christ?
Basing on your answers, you can judge whether Baptist churches have consistent logical belief system without contradiction
All religions except Hinduism need you to compulsorily "believe" something written in a book. You are not allowed to question anything written in that book. You need to be a "believer". But in Hinduism / Sanatan Dharma, there is no compulsion about anything and you can question anything. Its not about "believing"...its about "seeking" and hence there can be many different correct paths leading to god. Hinduism / Sanatan Dharma has been here since time immemorial and will continue to be here long after the believers fade away.
It's so contradictory how you say you are allowed to choose any path that leads you to God yet you claim that there is no better religion other than Hinduism??
Bad explanation bro, the same can apply to every other religions. You do realize that each religions alsk use that same "there is no compulsion about anything" claim, right?
There are not many ways to Heaven only one way.
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Matthew 7:13-14
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:6
be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Acts 4:10-12
@@incognito__00 There are no contradictions. You can be a Hindu and at the same time also freely follow any tennets of Christianity....and you will still be considered a Hindu. But the vice-versa is not true...i.e .if you are a Christian and start doing rituals/practices of Hinduism or Islam then you would not be considered Christian anymore! Hinduism is very liberal and is completly scientific. Why limit yourself to just one book? You can just take good things from many different books or the scientific base of Hinduism may even help you to seek your own new path! Explore new possibilities and be free!

Instead of preaching in church, they invade HINDU festivals and thier houses without invitation
Also invading temples
I used to be Catholic, then I became non-denominational Christian. I still like more toned down service, but it is all good. I recommend those who are moving over make sure to find a church that teaches and uses the Word of God. Also, pray about what you hear. Be like the Bereans in The book of Acts.

Do you actually apply Corinthians ? That's problem with most Churches and they're concerned about being popular and instead of following the Word.

There is a concerted effort to destroy the Catholic Church, starting since the early twentieth century. Americans fell for the brainwash.

For Catholic faith, I have some disagreements. Also we dont chase after religion, but put faith alone in Jesus. 👀
Julia Sareenen;
Now, you should pass and go to the next level by knowing and learning the gospel of salvation for our souls.
That Jesus Christ already have paid for all our sins when He died on the cross, was buried and rose again the third day according to the scriptures.
He resurrected in power and victory over sin, death and Hades.
Now He has the keys of death and Hades.
Do you believe it?

No religion can replace Catholicism. My church is busting at the seams. Many are converts.
@@Iampowerful8 Next level? Practicing Catholics are at the top level. You have no idea what you are missing.
@@LoantakaBrook In the Midwest, more and more churches are empty. Some of them are converted into mosques, other are simply sold and torn down. I don't think there are less believers, it seems like especially among younger people, that the church is no longer at the center. When it comes to Catholicism, how can any sane person deal with the scandals of abuse and the role of the Vatican?

Lol 😂. Nobody except Jesus could keep the 10 commandments perfectly.
If you break one part if the law you break it all. The purpose of the 10 commandments was to let you know what sin was...to let you know you couldn't keep them...and to point you to the only person that could keep them.... JESUS..

They're not finding what they need or they are not finding what they want.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
They have a better chance of finding Jesus without the organizations.
Good point!

hello dear brothers and sisters, i hope you can pray for my return to the catholic church🙏🏻 my whole family and relatives are very devout protestants since i grew up in a muslim majority country (Indonesia) and i was from HKBP, a big evangelical church known for defending their faith so vocally. i loved them bc they taught a lot but since i now always attend masses, i feel immense joy i've never felt in my former church. the love this church has for Christ is so great, the saints and the angels taught me lessons from their letters and biographies, and the priests teaches us patiently about the Scripture. i've chosen this path God choose for me and i don't regret it even a bit.
This is the great falling away, don’t fall away
So true.
They will fall away. All churches worship the cross. No church keeps the Sabbath and celebrates God's festivals such as Passover and Pentecost.
