@@Misael-Hernandez isn’t the rosary praying the repetitive prayers Jesus commanddd is NOT TO PRAY? He wants us to be authentic with Him (REAL) Tell Him how you really feel. He’s listening. I promise you
@@jinimurray4090 thanks for asking. Certainly anyone can be like Jesus says in St.Mathew's Gospel Chapter 6 verse 7. He himself gave us the Our Father which is a repetitive prayer, but the main point is in the reason why someone would want to use repetitive prayer. God is not a genie who is subject to our prayers. Intentions say everything about the person. My intentions when praying the Rosary, are to get closer to God and to others and for our needs. My intentions are not to twist St Mary's or God's hands and say in my heart, "you owe me something", that's certainly what Jesus was referring to because in thinking like that, we set aside faith and install witchcraft and all that pagan gibberish. And trust me, it gets personal and deep when praying the Rosary because love endures within it.

@@tony1685 probably because he was able to answer the hard question below you continue to deflect… History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their individual lists of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church, guided by the Holy Spirit, that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian doctrine and subsequent councils of Ephesus and Chalcedon, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?

This is very interesting. I want to present something I recently came across. If you read the converts catechism of Catholic Doctrine and go to part II, Section II, Chapter 5, number 3(the third commandment). Q. What is the third commandment? A. The third commandment is remember the Sabbath that thou keep holy the Sabbath day. Q. Which is the Sabbath day? A. Saturday is the Sabbath day. Q. Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? A. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday. Q. Why did the Catholic Church substitute Sunday for saturday? A. The Church substituted Sunday for Saturday, because Christ rose from the dead on a Sunday, and the Holy Ghost descended upon the apostles on a Sunday. Q. By what authority did the church substitute Sunday for saturday? A. The church substituted Sunday for Saturday by the plentitude of that divine power which Jesus Christ bestowed upon her. Q. What does the third commandment? A. The third commandment commands us to sanctify Sunday as the Lord's Day. According to their(Catholic Church) doctrine The 2nd commandment in the Bible is not observed, the Sabbath was replaced by Sunday and the 10th commandment was broken into two parts thus fulfilling the prophecy of Daniel 7:25 25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. The only commandment related to time is the 4th commandment. God did not change the 4th commandment nor does he change. God does not change. He does not break his covenant. The 10 commandments of God are a reflection of his character. Jesus is truth. John 14:6 God's word is truth. John 17:17 Psalm 119:142,151 God's law is truth. John 4:24 God's people worship him in spirit and in truth. Malachi 3:6 - God never changes Psalm 111:7,8 God's commandments stand fast for ever and ever and are done in truth and uprightness. Psalm 89:34 God does not break his covenant. The new covenant is not about the doing away with God's law, it's about where he puts it(in your heart; Hebrews 8:10). God's saints, remnant keep his law: Revelation 12:17, Revelation 14:12, Revelation 22:14 I pray you study this out and seek what the word of the Lord teaches. After all the warning in Revelation 14 is about worship of the true God. The Pope is also known as: The Annuario Pontificio, the official directory of the Holy See, describes the office of the pope by the following titles: Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church. The Pope is known as the vicar of Christ. The word “vicar” means to be a representative of; the pope is our leader who acts on behalf of Christ. Christ never gave any man on earth his authority which the Catholic Church teaches was given to the Pope. Claiming that is blasphemy.
I prayed for a baby. My husband and I went through hell pretty much pills surgeries you name it trying to have a child. I went blind while on these hormone pills and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.I prayed and begged hoping for a baby and he did answer. Just not the way I thought. We adopted our son and it was the best miracle I have ever experienced ❤❤
Same experience with adoption after 12 years of prayers. When I changed my prayer to be a mother instead of to become pregnant, I was holding my son in my arms within a year. During my prayer to Blessed Mother, my prayer changed to become a mother & the sun changed position in the sky & lit up the face of the Virgin Mary in a most beautiful way. That was 36 years ago. Sometimes God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers & I actually know why now. God knew best.
Finally!!! Well done! You were t to the source If you ask Him how to heal from MS, as I did 20+ years ago-/ he DID & I do not have MS HE IS NO RESPECTOR OF PERSONS!!! I’m so happy for you & your baby! (I’m a midwife(RN/midwife) so the scriptures pop out to me about conception etc.. it is GOD WHO OPENS CLOSES THE WOMB… so MANY MANY SCRIPTURES ANOUT IT
At the 29 th minute, tears during the Mass ! I’m glad to say the same thing my brother. After long years in atheism and new age, I discovered the Holy Mass in 2019, at the age of 49. I ‘m very often in tears as soon as the consecration begins, or when I walk to the priest for communion.
Crying don't mean you know Christ or have salvation. Mass is not in the Bible. Nun Catholic or CARDINAL purgatory or EUCHARIST .....all balogna. The only TRUE is the GOSPEL AND BODY OF CHRIST BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS with the holy ghost. ALL THIS OTHER STUFF IS NOT OF CHRIST
I think that because Protestants don't have the Eucharist, they look at prayer as the highest form of worship. So they think praying to the saints is idolatry and something we should reserve to God alone. But to a Catholic, praying is *nothing* compared to the Eucharist. (well, not *nothing*, but way below)
As a recent convert from Pentecostalism, this echo’s so strongly. I am just so in awe of god and more in love that ever, so grateful he came and found me and brought me home, thanks be to god. I don’t deserve what he’s done in my life but I’m so grateful. I sometimes smoke a pipe and he even used that to bring me to your videos. Came for the pipes, stayed for the pope. (Sorry the only catholic pun I could think of, god truly does work in mysterious ways).
I am a Catholic convert from the Presbyterian church. My family is non Catholic. We are still on very good terms they know my faith is very important to me and they understand.
the 'faith' isn't important if Scripture proves it isn't of God/Correct/Biblical. catholicism isn't Biblical, Scripture proves this 'church' isn't Christianity.
@@DrStrange1000 this is catholic, not Christian. it's far from God's Word, friend. again, see John 14:15 your 'church' mandates sin and (according to this verse) does *NOT* love Christ.
@@DrStrange1000 you as well, Sir. but anywhere which inspired study, is certainly place for discussing the Word of our Loving Creator. again, catholicism isn't Christianity - according to Scripture. but only those seeking Truth will find It.
I was away from Catholic church for 20 yrs.....when I returned, like you I have never looked back...knew I had come home, so I am here no matter what happens in or outside of the Catholic church! The Church is Jesus no matter how flawed the humans who are members ....including clergy.....I look toward the Trinity, Jesus, saints & all the church offers... Prayer from the heart is one of the most powerful things we can do for ourselves, for others, the church, the world.....surrendering everything to the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit....If we deeply live through prayer, faith, hope, love......and act out of that guidance received through prayer.....we cannot go wrong !

I love the enthusiasm and joy of new converts. It always puts a big smile on my face. I taught in RCIA for 7 years, and it was a joy seeing the fire being lit. Just a little pointer, because words do have effects. As a Catholic, one cannot TAKE Communion. We can only RECEIVE it. Think of Love, the God who IS LOVE, one cannot take love. We can’t take God, we receive him. One the subject of suffering, I actually made a fellow worker curious about the Catholic Faith, enough that she entered RCIA and converted, with one remark during a conversation. I simply stated that suffering was a gift. That’s all. The Holy Spirit used that one little statement and It sparked a curiosity that led her to the Church.
The judgment of Babylon (or Rome) is revealed in Rev 18:8. In one hour, she shall be burnt with fire. Following her destruction, Rome becomes the home of devils, and the prison of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. Rev 18:21, shows that the city will not be found anymore.
I always am astonished when I listen to non catholics that they are afraid of losing family and friends if they convert. I am catholic, I would never turn my back on a friend or a relative if they converted to other religions. I cannot understand the animosity against catholicism on the protestant side. Being right is never based on the flaws of other people
Non Catholic Christians are like Muslims...we Catholics on the other hand are open minded if someone we knew want to convert into another religion we only pray for them that they'll find what they're looking for.
@@chwedl13 I was born more than 50 years ago and raised in Spain, a catholic country. I was not taught to hate protestants. On the contrary, we were told to pray for them. When I grew up and started to listen to protestants on the net I could not believe my ears. They believe lies about us. Lies which are not that dificult to check if they want to.
Another explanation to add is that to believe heresy requires a commitment and confirmation bias. The reasons people believe heresies can include some personal, private, internal experience like gnostics and the LDS seek-which Joshua Charles explained on Catholic Answers how John Calvin made the same mistake in a recent series of articles.
@@MichaelGlowacki covering the supposed enemy in flaws, sins and vice keeps onself vitue intact. The catholic Church is populated with sinners, but that fact does not make the protestant denominations more virtous.

I praise God... the Holy Trinity for bringing you home! And I can honestly say that, after more than 30 years in the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, my eyes are many times filled with tears of gratefulness for the Holy and silent way I experience the Lord's presence during a Mass... for the way we receive Holy Communion, the liturgy of the Mass! Who would understand this without experiencing it? We give praise To God in the highest! Thank you for sharing this absolutely wonderful conversion story to the True Faith and Church. God bless! 🕯🕯🕯

I have a friend who is Catholic for three years now. She is so in love with it. I am cradle Catholic and have just always been used to it. I love being Catholic, but it is beautiful to see the wonder in the eyes of a newbie. I came back to the church in my twenties after my first child. I felt God calling me. My teenage years, God, to me, was out there somewhere. I just wanted to have fun. After a while, with a few kids and the business of life, God was important but not like He should be. In my 30s, I met third order Carmelites, and my faith became alive again. Now, in my sixties, knowing my new Catholic friend I watch her love for the church, and it livens my love for God again.

And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
@@Revelation18-4 the Bible doesn't say Jesus brothers were Mary's kids now does it so she is a virgin and you are putting limitations on God's power by saying he is unable to preserve Mary from sin before her birth Mary needed a saviour the Catholic church agrees in the sense that she was preserved from sin since birth which is true
@@Revelation18-4 The Virgin Mary Mother of Jesus who is God, unlike the rest of humanity, was born by God's gift of supreme grace: Totally and at all times, free of any stain of sin according to the Gospel The Gospel says in: LUKE 1:28 28. "And upon entering, the Angel said to her: "Hail, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women." In Greek LUKE 1:28 και εισελθων ο αγγελος προς αυτην ειπεν χαιρε κεχαριτωμενη ο κυριος μετα σου ευλογημενη συ εν γυναιξιν χαιρε κεχαριτωμενη (highlighted). ▪︎ANALYSIS: The Greek κεχαριτομένη is an extension of three words: 1. - κε (ke). A prefix 2. - χαριτοω (charitoo), 3.- μένη (mene) "χαριτοω" - filled with divine grace. Passive. To be full of grace Specifically: ▪︎κε (ke) is a prefix of χαριτοω which means the word is in perfect time. This indicates a present state, product of an action completed in the past ▪︎χαριτοω (charitoo) means “grace” ▪︎μένη (mene) makes this a passive participle. “Passive” means the action is realized on the subject (in this case the Virgin Mary) by another person (in this case, God). Summarizing: The word κεχαριτομένη for the Virgin Mary is a passive participle of χαριτοω (charitoo). God is the author of this state of grace: ▪︎filled or brimming with grace. When the Angel Gabriel uses κεχαριτομένη to refer to Mary, he uses the word as A PRONOUN (a pronoun takes the place of a name or title), which represents the identity of the person being spoken of. Thus, Mary is identified with a simple term, which is NOT her name (Mary). She is NOW known to God as: "At all times full of grace". "Full of Grace" is a much better translation than favored, used by some Protestant bibles, which makes verse 38 of Chapter 1 of Luke lose all its meaning. ■PART 2: In the Greek, the original language of the Gospel of Luke, we have two words to indicate favor: 1.- When it comes to a FAVOR in the sense of pleasure and protection, the following is used: PROSTATIS, or, Προστάτις, in Greek. 2.- When it comes to "FAVOR" in the sense of benefit, the following is used: "UPER" written "υπερ" in Greek. We have in the Bible two clear examples of this: #1 in Greek LUKE 9:50 και ειπεν προς αυτον ο ιησους μη κωλυετε ος γαρ ουκ εστιν καθ ημων "υπερ" ημων εστιν #2 In English LUKE 9:50 50. Jesus said to him, Do not prevent him, for whoever is not against you is "FOR YOU.” It is not against us = It is in our favor, as the original says and that favor is υπερ. Then we see a similar expression in the word "help or aid" as "βοήθεια" in Greek ▪︎Romans 16:2 2. give her, in the Lord, a welcome worthy of God's holy people, and help her with whatever she needs from you -- she herself has come to the help of many people, including myself. ▪︎Ρωμαίους 16:2 2. Δώστε της, στον Κύριο, ένα καλωσόρισμα αντάξιο του αγίου λαού του Θεού και βοηθήστε την με ό,τι χρειάζεται από εσάς -- η ίδια έχει έρθει στη βοήθεια πολλών ανθρώπων, συμπεριλαμβανομένου και εμένα. βοήθεια = aid, favor. Clearly in the Bible the two Greek forms of the verb "favor" are used when we want to indicate protection or Benefit, but neither of these words was used by the Archangel Gabriel when he greeted Mary, with which it can be concluded that the translation "highly favored" is not a good translation as it does not fit the original Greek. The prefixes and suffixes KE and MENE transform the word CHARIS into something present, and this is only seen in Mary. In short the Angel is not saying that Mary is full of grace (at that moment) but he is referring to her as THE "Full of Grace". This state, product of a past action (because it is a perfect passive participle), indicates a perfection of grace that is intensive and extensive. That is why, the state of the Virgin Mary is a state of a past action of God towards her where He has filled her with grace, being thus identified through such lofty term. Thus, St. Jerome’s rendition of the Greek in the Latin Vulgate as plena gratia, “full of grace,” constitutes the best translation and exegesis of the greeting when read with an eye to the living tradition of the Church and a proper understanding of St. Paul’s teaching on grace. Before anyone can hope to arrive at a proper understanding of the angel’s greeting to Mary as interpreted by St. Jerome, one should first become familiar with St. Paul’s theology of grace. As a disciple of St. Paul, St. Luke would have undoubtedly learned from St. Paul the nature of grace, which then informed the Gospel he wrote, particularly with regards to the role of grace in Mary’s life. St. Lawrence Brindisi, who compiles an extensive assortment of Scriptural references to grace in all its varied meanings, acknowledges St. Paul as “the preeminent preacher of this grace,” this grace specifically referring to “that gift of God which adorns the soul through the inpouring of the Holy Spirit.” Indeed, St. Paul emphasizes this understanding of grace throughout his Letters, such as his statement in the Letter to the Romans that “God’s love [St. Lawrence equates love with grace] has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” He explicitly confirms this understanding of grace again in Romans: “But you are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God really dwells in you. Any one who does not have the Spirit of Christ [St. Lawrence equates grace with the Spirit of Christ] does not belong to him.” Thus, grace as understood in the Pauline sense primarily refers to the imparting and special indwelling of God within the soul of a person, a nuance that should be kept in mind when reading St. Luke’s Gospel. Finally, it should be noted that no Catholic believes the Virgin Mary, Mother of God, is a type of "goddess". The Bible indicates, however, that she was created and called by God, as shown: "κεχαριτομένη", pronounced "Kecharitomene". Such is the word with which God, through the Angel, identifies MARY in all Scripture and means: "Forever full of grace".

The devil has indeed succeeded in scattering the flock to weaken the Church and destroy faith on earth.

>Here's what I know about Catholicism:There are no priests in the New Testament, there are no altars, there are no sacrifices, there are no scapulars, there are no mitre, there are no orders of monks, there are no nuns, there are no bishops in the sense of the Roman Catholic church, there is no monarchical episcopate, there are no popes, there is no apostolic succession, there are no candles, there is no Lent, there is no holy water, there are no sacraments, there is no extreme unction, there is no purgatory, there is no penance, there are no sacraments, there is no veneration of objects, images or relics, there is no praying to dead people, there is no veneration of Mary, there is no immaculate conception, there is no assumption of Mary, there is no Holy Mary, Mother of God.
@@mitchellosmer1293 And what synod compiled the Bible? These are Church traditions and each one is scriptural and are tangible relatable practices we inherited from our Jewish background. They don’t offend God. Jesus at one point healed with mud. Don’t put God in a box. Jesus Christ was Jewish and preached in the Synagogue, do you worship in a synagogue today? Because if you did you might find they practice these things. While they sacrifice animals, we offer Christ at Mass. Let’s embrace Christ and ask Him to lead us.
@@mitchellosmer1293But all these things that you deny it is in the Bible itself, because Our Lord Jesus Christ say in Mathew 10:33 - "but whoever denies Me before men, I also deny before My Father who is in heaven". John 6:51 - Our Lord Jesus Christ say "I am the living bread which come down from heaven, if anyone eats of this bread he will live forever and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is MY Flesh". Mathew 18:3-4 - Jesus say to us "unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven". John 6:47 - Jesus say "truly truly, I say to you he who believes has eternal life". John 6:64-65- Jesus say "but there are some of you that do not believe. For Jesus knew from the first who those were that not believe, and who it was that betray Him. And He said "this is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless it is granted him by the Father".
"Upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it". His Words. All Christians that time were Catholic, in practice and tradition. So many people saying evil has taken over the Catholic Church, the protestants who left and built their own church. They have all lost faith in His promise.
Jesus save and protect your Church especially in coming Synod Oct. 2023. Hoping that the Holy Spiri will not leave His mystical body The Roman Catholic Church.

Love this episode. The mass is said every minute of every day with the exception of Good Friday. So heaven is kissing earth so many times we cannot conceive! Praise be Jesus in the Eucharist!
Great story. As a life-long Catholic, I've experienced a lot of animosity from Protestants. Could never figure out why, since although there are differences, we're still all Christians. Only well into my adulthood did I come to understand Protestants are often taught these horrible lies from an early age. Crazy. Atheist are often less acrimonious than a typical Protestant.
You have to look at the scandals and how they were covered up . Awful, awful things happened to children and adults alike. You are feeling the effect of it. And wasn't the first English printed bible done so by the protestant, Rome was against it. The Catholic Church does have a lot to answer for still.
@@chi9153 Part of those objections were due to the first English Bible being a deficient, edited version not representing the Canon as it was defined for more than a thousand years. Other objections were that words were deliberately changed for the express purpose of undermining Catholicism. Will you hold the Protestant church to account for these errors? Do you think cover ups are exclusive to the Catholic Church? Are you as indignant about the cover ups by the Southern Baptist Convention? What exactly is the Church answering for and to whom? Also list what other denominations have to "answer" for.
@drstewart all instructions have scandals but I'm sorry the Catholic Church has been exceptional in the amount, organisation of it and the cover-up. The reason why I reference the bible being printed in English is because the c. Church didn't want ordinary people to know the word. I'm not a.hater, but this person was wondering why this is the view, and this is why. The cover up is still happening. Just last decade I knew a a.C family and the youngest boy was gay, and the family tried their best to get him into the clergy like that would solve the problem. Crazy!
@@chi9153 "Catholic Church has been exceptional in the amount, organisation of it and the cover-up." Based on what metric? Your feeling? "The reason why I reference the bible being printed in English is because the c. Church didn't want ordinary people to know the word" Wrong. I cited the issues the Church raised in response to the English publication of the Bible. Further, ordinary people did, in fact, know Latin. It's a myth that the ordinary person was entirely unlettered and illiterate. There was education in the 1500s, a good deal of it btw, done by the Church that has supposedly done soo much wrong. If the Church wanted "ordinary people" to not know the word, why is so much of it in every Mass? The claim is demonstrably false. "The cover up is still happening." Citations needed. To the contrary, since the late pontificate of John Paul II, the abuse scandal in particular has been addressed, and quite publicly. Which is how you know about it. "Just last decade I knew a a.C family and the youngest boy was gay, and the family tried their best to get him into the clergy like that would solve the problem" That has to be the weakest reasoning ever. Because a family belonging to this religion does this thing, that impugns the religion. Do you seriously want to stick with that reasoning? Would you like to know what the more Orthodox Jewish families do? How about the good ol' Southern fundies? Y'know, the ones who either cut their kids off entirely or just beat them to death. Let's not talk about Westboro Baptist Church. Maybe you could find a little outrage there? Nah, probably not.
I think a lot of prodestants look at what church makes them feel good. The right music, the right message, it seems to be about what makes them feel good and if they dont like it, they just find a different church. But as a Catholic, I go to church to honor God. Mass, for me, is about giving God what he deserves. It's not about making me feel good. (Not that I dont love church, or I dont get teary-eyed and overwhelmed with his love because I do, but I dont expect the church community to fulfill me)
Great interview! Thanks for this. I love hearing the stories of converts. Peace of Christ to all. It's funny that St. Francis kept popping in my head listening to him speak and when I heard him mention St. Francis I couldn't believe it.
24:45 BOOM! RIGHT THERE! that is what I try to tell people. If you believe that we who believe in him will have everlasting life, saying the saints are dead is denying the promises that Christ himself gave. Even when it comes to his Mother! She gave herself to God.. Even the communion, our father and hail Mary are in scripture.

40:45 and I just learned Catholic Churches faced east- prior to novus ordo everyone faced east duting the Mass.. which is why the priest had his back to everybody- we were all praying in the same direction. We were praying towards the direction that Jesus said he was coming back from. Novos Ordo really screwed up that great symbol.

Really? So what was the church before Constantine? Who were the people Paul was writing to? Paul wrote about recieving Jesus unworthily. Sounds Catholic to me. What was Jesus talking about when he said that he was going to build HIS church on Peter (rock)? What did Jesus mean about loosening and binding? Who did Jesus mean to "do this in memory of me?" Who has a clear line of succession from the rock (Peter) that Jesus deemed to build His Church on?

He simply legalized Christianity …which had been illegal and practiced in secret for hundreds of years.

Its these conversion stories that strengthened my Catholic faith that I have taken for granted. The first video that I watched was that of Steve Ray on youtube "Why Catholic" that had a million views. Since then, in a span of four months since watching that video, I watch as many conversion stories every night until the early hours in the morning, I subscribed to Hallow that helps me pray everyday, listened to lives of the saints and I am now financially supporting 3 small Catholic ministries. Two months ago, my sciatica was healed in the anointing of the sick. Now, I am constantly praying to God to direct me and use me, my life for his greater Glory. These Protestant converts to Catholics are true blessings to the Church. You have initiated true conversion in me. God bless you and thank you so much. Praise God and Glory to God in the Highest. ❤
CLAIMS of the RCC 1. Catholics claim CHURCH refers to Roman Catholic Church. BIBLE says CHURCH refers to all churches. Acts 5:11, Acts 8:1, Mat 16:18. HISTORY tells us Roman Church was just one local Church a member of the Pentarchy. 2. Catholics claim Roman Church was the CHURCH CHRIST founded (First Church) or one true church. BIBLE says First Local Church was Jerusalem Church. Acts 2. Not Roman Catholic Church. 3. Catholics claim there is only One Church. BIBLE mentions both CHURCH and Churches. “CHURCH” refers to the Body of Christ Eph 5:30, Col 1:18 consisting of all churches. Acts 5:11, Acts 8:1 Mat 16:18. “Churches” refers to local churches Acts 9:31, Acts 15:41 and believers Romans 16:5, 1 Cor 16:19, 4. Catholics claim to be the first believers. BIBLE says first believers were Jewish Christians. Acts 2, Acts 11:26, NOT roman catholics. 5. Catholics claim Pope is the head of the CHURCH. BIBLE says JESUS is the HEAD OF THE CHURCH. Eph 1:22, Eph 5:23, Col 1:18. 6. Catholics claim outside Roman Church there is NO SALVATION. BIBLE says : The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”apart from Jesus there is NO SALVATION”. Acts 4:12, 1 Cor 3:11. 7. Catholicss claim the first day of the week is a Holy day, made by God. . The Holy Bible says: Isaiah 58:13-14 13 “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on MY HOLY DAY, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of the Lord honorable, And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own words, 14 Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord; And I will cause you to tride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”part from Jesus there is NO SALVATION”. Acts 4:12, 1 Cor 3:11. 8. Catholics claim devote to Mary to be saved. BIBLE says “apart from Jesus there is NO SALVATION”. Acts 4:12, 1 Cor 3:11. . BIBLE says “believe in Jesus to be saved”. Acts 16:30-31, John 3:16. 10. Catholics claim Roman Church inherited infallible authority from Peter. BIBLE does not say that in Mat 16 or John 20 or John 21. 11. Catholics claim Roman pontiff inherited infallible authority from Peter. BIBLE does not say that in Mat 16. 12. Catholics claim bishop of ROME = the pope. BIBLE does not say that. 13. Catholics claim there is an office of bishop of bishops/universal bishop/pope. BIBLE does not speak of such an office.

Roman Church has all the false unbiblical clergies - Roman priests, roman cardinals, roman pontiff, monks, nuns, friars, … BIBLE mentions only pastors, teachers, evangelists, prophets, apostles, deacons, bishop, elders.

So, the Magisterium, the Tradition, and all the fathers of the Church were wrong, and only he knew the unblemished truth? I just can't. When you come into a dialog about the Catholic Church and only know what you learned from her enemies, you can't argue rationally.
Seems like if this man's parents are rounding the final turn that discussing his faith with them is pretty important. Not trying to be insensitive, I'm just it's difficult but perhaps having weekly discussions about their objections would be advantageous to them eternally.
Yes, none of us is perfect. We sin. That is why one of the most beautiful prayers in the Mass occurs before the sign of peace; we pray, “Lord, look not on our sins, but on the faith of your Church.” Yes, despite human frailty, the Church, as that institution founded by Christ continues to carry on His mission in this world.

The worst thing that happened to the Bible was when it was placed into English/American hands. Now there are two Bibles, 50 000 Christian denominations and Mosques all over Europe.
@@inchristalone25 "Freedom of religion"... Neopagans and Muslims rampant conquering Christian territory, the next thing to happen will be martyrdom, we all know most of the martyrs were killed by Muslims and Pagans.
Yes, I find American Protestantism incredibly strange. Even here in Europe, Lutherans, Anglicans, Baptists and other mainline denominations etc wouldn't go as far as to call Catholics "Not Christian" or "Pagan" or the usual rubbish American Evangelicals come out with.
The worst thing that happened to the word of God was that some man sat down and told the European countries about it. Then they ran spreading their diseases and another Christ to others nation's.
Thank you. Jesus answered my question to him about this very subject. I needed answers and he sent me to you ❤. The lord always responds when I ask him to show me the way.
I love this conversion story. And yes, sinner as i may be i also can share the miracle of the joyful tears as explained in minute 29. Since July5th 2020, after confession, i experienced this miracle and since then whether i am in grace or not, everytime i attend mass, it happens around consecration through communion! I am so blessed and humbled to be in good company in the Catholic church. And this video is a rénewal to my soul. Thank you and God bless you all for sharing!
THIS IS The Apostle Paul's Admonition to the MEMBERS OF Church of Rome! Romans 16:17 Now, I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve NOT our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by GOOD WORDS and FAIR SPEECHES deceive the hearts of the simple.
Please, do not forget that our mission as Catholics is not to convert people; rather, our mission is to practice our faith, believe in Jesus, and show people the value of the Catholic Church. Those who reach and understanding of the faith will come voluntarily, and with a firm, believe that the Catholic Church is the right place to be.
Mark 2:27-28 These verses contain a number of things critical to Sabbath keeping: Jesus refers to the Sabbath as a specific day; it is THE Sabbath, not a Sabbath. The Sabbath was not made for its own sake as were the other six days, but as a service to mankind. An alternate translation would be that it "was made on account of man." Jesus presents it as the Creator's specific and thoughtful gift to man. It was not made just for the Jews, but for mankind. When God created the Sabbath, He intended it from the beginning as a UNIVERSAL blessing to benefit mankind. He made it to help ensure man's physical and spiritual well-being. The broader context reveals a disagreement over how to keep it. Jesus claims to be its Lord, its Owner or Master, and He thus lays claim to His right to show by His example and verbal instruction how to keep it, not whether to keep it. Since He expresses no disagreement with keeping it, He implies that He expects man-not just Jews-to keep it. He has a perfect opportunity here to reply that it does not matter if men keep it, but He gives no such indication. John W. Ritenbaugh >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> What is the Greek word for man in Mark 2 27? The Greek words translated "the man" in this scripture are ὁ ἄνθρωπος (Gtr. ho anthropos) - Nominative case, and τὸν ἄνθρωπον (Gtr. ton anthropon) - accusative case. >>> There are many people who believe that because the Old Covenant and the Ten Commandments were given through Moses, that it was never created for Gentiles, and no Gentile should keep it. However, Jesus said that the "Sabbath was made for the man" (Mark 2:27), and here will analyze the meaning of this statement. This explains that the Sabbath was made either for all mankind, or for Adam. #4.03 THE SABBATH DAY WAS MADE FOR THE MAN Greek - MARK 2:27-28 - English καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς τὸ σάββατον διὰ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐγένετο οὐχ ὁ ἄνθρωπος διὰ τὸ σάββατον 27 And he said to them, The Sabbath was made for the man, and not the man for the Sabbath: ὥστε κύριός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καὶ τοῦ σαββάτου 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath. >>> GENESIS 2:1-3 1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. Note: Jesus did not say that the Sabbath was made for the Jews, he said it was made for the man (Mark 2:27). The Greek words translated "the man" in this scripture are ὁ ἄνθρωπος (Gtr. ho anthropos) - Nominative case, and τὸν ἄνθρωπον (Gtr. ton anthropon) - accusative case. Look at some definitions of it. (James Strong p26) "444. ἄνθρωπος (559x) anthropos ... man-faced i.e. a human being: man (552x), not tr (4x), misc. (3x). Anthropos is used (1) generally of a human being, male or female, without reference to sex or nationality:" (Joseph H. Thayer p46) "444. ἄνθρωπος -ου, ὁ, [perh. fr. ἀνὴρ and ὢν, i.e. man's face; ...] It is used 1. univ., with ref. to the genus or nature, without distinction of sex, a human being, whether male or female: Jn xvi 21. And in this sense a. with the article, generally, so as to include all human individuals: ..." There are a number of ways how this word "anthropos" is used in the New Testament, in the singular, with the definite article. It is either used of a particular individual, where the article is called 'the individualizing article', or it is used in a generic sense of a class of people, so let us look at some examples: (Mark 2:27) "The Sabbath was made for the man, and not the man for the Sabbath:" If the article used in this scripture is meant in a generic sense then it can only refer to mankind as a whole, so "the Sabbath was made for mankind". The word "anthropos" is never used to mean "Jews" as a class unless it is specifically stated in the context, even though Jews are a part of the class of mankind. So we cannot possibly interpret this as, "the Sabbath was made for the Jews" unless we twist the scripture. A number of translations follow this generic sense of the word anthropos. Here are a few examples but they are not the only ones. Common English Bible (CEB) "The Sabbath was created for humans; humans weren't created for the Sabbath." The Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) "Shabbat was made for mankind, not mankind for Shabbat." Good News Translation (GNT) "The Sabbath was made for the good of human beings; they were not made for the Sabbath." Lexham English Bible (LEB) "The Sabbath was established for people, and not people for the Sabbath." New Revised Standard (NRS) "The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath." Source: #4.03 THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR THE MAN Mark 2:27
YOU ALL please pray for me. I got back out here CUT OFD? I wasn't this way and now I am regretting not FIGHTING BACK AND listening to THE HOLY GHOST...... repenting. EVERYONE lying.
This is one of the best podcasts I've seen recently in the last few days of course they've been lining them up with the algorithms but of course that's a little bit good because otherwise I never would have found it U-Haul I will say that him being on fire is one of the things that did really attract me to this podcast today and also the fact that finally understood why people would say the Catholics aren't Christians I grew up Catholic so I had that advantage or that disadvantage because the things he knows I do had to be a Catholic I did not need to know them my mom had me baptized and then communion and then confirmation and I still have my comedian dress from when I was six and don't know what to do with it and so but I finally get the negative which is why people have wrongly said Catholics aren't Christians I grew up on the west coast I'll say it straight up and really does not that much prejudice on the west coast nothing like the East Coast or the South okay there's just not and I didn't know that when I left the West Coast that I was going to encounter so many problems in that regard although I don't let them bother me it's like wateroff a duck's back I see I thought at the time when I heard that criticism not pointed at me because nobody really cared what religion you were you did your religion that was your private life where I lived on the west coast but I finally now see that but I thought at the time well how can you have Catholicism unless you had Christ so if you have Christ then you are Christian and this is ridiculously I got that DNA I think from my my dad were things that don't make sense I just totally disregard they don't they don't touch me they don't enter me they don't upset me I don't even think to counter them because they're so ridiculous and my dad actually was not Catholic by the way he said he was because you had to be to marry a Catholic but he definitely was not Catholic we found out after he died from something in his belongings that he his mom was a Lutheran German I myself was a Anglo Germanic Catholic which of course is distinct from an Irish or Italian Catholic we actually have a lot of less fun things than they have in terms of foods and religion list religious festivals and so forth but it was okay so. I am in Texas now and I've only found two Christians I believe they are Christian and action all the rest are fake assuming they even would say their Christian which I'm not so sure they would even dare to say that but be that as it may I did find problems with the first one when I mentioned mother Mary and I thought again this is so ridiculous and I don't think it's just an an instinct in me and so I said to this young man who was much younger than me who I ran into in Walmart of all places and we talked for over an hour maybe 2 hours about all sorts of things mostly with the spiritual band but not necessarily about Catholicism or protestantism I think he was with a non-denominational church though it was still looking in this town to find one that seemed to fit is how I believe he turned it but I think I said to him again because I don't get upset and I've learned in Texas that is considered bad to think about mother Mary so I think I said where everyone has a mother you know so of course
Oops. I hit the SEND button on the previous comment BEFORE I could edit it 😮I'm sure there's a ton of mistakes that I wasn't able to edit out. In all events, I had a recent discussion with a nice young woman who was sort of searching for a religion --as she was in a non-denominational church --& we spoke regarding the saints. I said why not pray to them ? I've prayed to all the different saints and I told her the ones I pray to for different things: they're human beings and we know they lived and we know they were very holy. I do believe in an afterlife. ACTUALLY I do NOT believe, I KNOW the spirit continues on beyond the veil and the invisible is more powerful than the visible,as the Japanese say. I feel badly that I sent on the earlier comment with huge mistakes because I talk into my phone and then the phone translates my words in strange ways. What I would like you to do is bring this conversation into the MODERN-DAY and discuss your viewpoint and what do you think is the Catholic viewpoint on the genocide being perpetrated by the Zionist state-- massacring an entire race of people, an indigenous race of people, an ancient people, the majority being babies, children and women,many with child, in the Holy Land . Christians in the Holy Land were once 10% and they have been reduced to 1% as the zionists push them out, murdering them now, including in Bethlehem, the town of Christ's birth. The Palestinian Christians feel betrayed by the Christians in America and Europe. Please respond. My initial reaction was of course what is occurring is wrong because it's genocide and genocide is nothing Christ would do. Secondly, I have been to the Holy Land in the 80s when it was calmer and right then I figured out to whom the land belonged. I met folk from both groups. Then recently I decided to research this and what I discovered was that Catholics have NEVER believed in the reality of a state or country or nation for the Jews. IT simply is NOT part of the New testament and they believe the New testament superseded the Old testament and they the Catholics believe that the temple is NO longer the Temple Mount which the Jews are trying to take back from the Muslims but the temple, as Christ said, lies within the body of Christ. NOTHING could be more simple. NOTHING could be more straightforward. AND yet the Pope will NOT say this. THE Pope as far as I can tell is sitting on the fence. HE still gets yelled at by the zionists when he gives compassion to those in Palestine who were being murdered and maimed and the children killed or left without their limbs and the babies left to die in the hospitals or in the wombs of their mother through starvation. I contacted one priest and I could only speak with his secretary who didn't have a clue what I was talking about and when she said he was too busy during this holiday season to see me, he was going home to his family, I knew then his mind & his heart and his soul was not where it should be. HE was in hell because that is the only place you can be as a pastor who believes in the genocide of anybody or anything for any reason. As you can see I do not mince words . Having said that, I would like your opinion. A recently read that the priests in America are lacking the courage to speak out and I would say that is correct but although I like this Pope, I do not think he is taking the correct Catholic stance according to scripture and thus it is difficult for priests to speak out when their leader is staying in essence silent. I've always remembered since a child the following story that I know you and your guests could say more correctly and with greater detail but here it is: Christ said the crow will crow three times and before it finishes I will have been betrayed by all. AND that is what happened. AS is a teeny child I REMEMBERED that story and I took it to ❤️ even though I'd never been betrayed in my life and was not really very knowledgeable of what that meant but I understood the deep feeling and I understood the importance of what had occurred to Christ, our savior. We have betrayed the Christians of Palestine. I call those groups giving money & allegiance to the genocidal Zionists Jews EVANGELICAL PROTESTANT ZIONISTS because I a cannot in good faith call them Evangelical Christian Zionists because NO Christian would embrace genocide , let alone give money and prayers to encourage it. Please hosts and guest respond. Thanks 🙏 If you are at a loss at how to respond I would recommend you Google all of the videos on the Christians in Palestine specifically the Christian pastors priest in Gaza and what they have to say and how they are being killed as we speak and yet the Christians do nothing. Just today I saw how a large group of Christians went to Israel to pray with them and of course we're spotted by the Jews because people don't seem to get it Muslims get along fine with Christians Jews do not. Look at the way they trim Christ again and again in their holy books and then look at how the Muslim holy book calls Christ a holy man and never disparages him or his mother Mary. The Evangelical Protestant vastly outnumber the Zionist and they give millions and millions to Israel to specifically buy more weapons and to use in every way they see fit because these Protestants have misinterpreted the Bible I wish you could look at the passages they quote and show how they have misunderstood those passages completely there is a father a Catholic father called Andre Marie whose videos I first saw months ago and he says that and he does explain in some detail but not enough detail to really understand the misinterpretation and I would like you to go into detail. Thank you.
Two mistakes in the previous comment😅 1. THE Jews spit on the Christians not spotted the Christians. OF course they first spotted them but then they spit on them and that was on May 28th of 2023 but it has occurred many times before and many times since and is even now occurring and happened during Christmas when a few Christians were brave enough to go to the HOLY LAND during this genocide. 2. THE second error which I had meant to correct but I forgot is: Andre Marie is a brother. HIS title is BROTHER ANDRE MARIE. I think you all would like him because like you he has studied theology a lot because of his vocation. I think you would really really like what he says and I would love to hear your interpretation of what he says vis-a-vis the Evangelical Protestant Zionists saying that the Bible tells them that Israelis can do no wrong and therefore they will back the genocide occurring because the Zionist Jews in the zionists state can do no wrong according to the Bible which of course is not the New testament but rather the Old testament that believes in revenge and an eye for the eye and the destruction of an entire people and entire land if you think they are against you
Being Catholic is also being Christian and I know miracles have happened to non- Catholics. Don't take away what Jesus Christ can do for anyone. Faith like a mustard seed please understand. I would recommend to all to read the book, The Delirious Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Anne Catherine Emmerich. May God be with you on your journey to His Heavenly home.
To be truly Catholic therefore means to enter into the Catholic wisdom tradition. It means appreciating all of creation and looking at the world from a universal perspective. It means adopting a holistic outlook that encourages personal growth and social transformation. It means building community and learning from history. It means not being afraid to ask questions about faith, about the Church, or about the world in which we live.
Which Catholic doctrine or tradition defines the duty for "social transformation?" While community is part of any religion, and indeed any aspect of identity one wants to magnify, "building community" is not the goal. It's not about how we can relate to each other.
I’m a convert from Methodist, Pentecostal and Baptist/Free Church iterations of Protestant faith to Eastern Orthodoxy. Sixteen years later and no regrets…Just discovered your channel and am enjoying your content. Thank you!
Wow 🙏 what a journey to the Catholic Church ! Thanks be to the Lord Jesus Christ. I truly enjoyed listening to this new Catholic gentleman - hearing him pointing out what is so simple & facing me on the face but never seen it, I’m referencing about the master of deception attacking the Catholic Church from all & every side. Thank you for this wonderful interview. God bless everyone 🙏🙏🙏❤️
I think your tears could be re lates to the non-catholic community you once served. The profound awareness of Jesus presence in the Eucharist, is also a reminder of how many are not in the fullness of faith. You pastured people. It was not just walking away from a job.
I am a Catholic senior lady widow that loves to listen & so thankful for God putting my late husband in my life. I will be donating for your special project ....this is 2nd time to watch this show ...we need more true Catholic Gentlemen...keep on keeping on....God bless all! Cynthia C
>Here's what I know about Catholicism:There are no priests in the New Testament, there are no altars, there are no sacrifices, there are no scapulars, there are no mitre, there are no orders of monks, there are no nuns, there are no bishops in the sense of the Roman Catholic church, there is no monarchical episcopate, there are no popes, there is no apostolic succession, there are no candles, there is no Lent, there is no holy water, there are no sacraments, there is no extreme unction, there is no purgatory, there is no penance, there are no sacraments, there is no veneration of objects, images or relics, there is no praying to dead people, there is no veneration of Mary, there is no immaculate conception, there is no assumption of Mary, there is no Holy Mary, Mother of God.

@@jinimurray4090 thanks for asking. Certainly anyone can be like Jesus says in St.Mathew's Gospel Chapter 6 verse 7. He himself gave us the Our Father which is a repetitive prayer, but the main point is in the reason why someone would want to use repetitive prayer. God is not a genie who is subject to our prayers. Intentions say everything about the person. My intentions when praying the Rosary, are to get closer to God and to others and for our needs. My intentions are not to twist St Mary's or God's hands and say in my heart, "you owe me something", that's certainly what Jesus was referring to because in thinking like that, we set aside faith and install witchcraft and all that pagan gibberish. And trust me, it gets personal and deep when praying the Rosary because love endures within it.
@@felizamarro1508 friend, you don't impress Jesus Christ by 'confessing' your sins to other sinners -- that isn't Biblical.

“It is possible to understand the sacred Scriptures as the word of God only by looking at the Bible as a whole, a totality in which the individual elements enlighten each other and open the way to understanding. It is not possible to apply the criterion of inspiration or of absolute truth in a mechanical way, extrapolating a single phrase or expression.”

History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their individual lists of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church, guided by the Holy Spirit, that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian doctrine and subsequent councils of Ephesus and Chalcedon, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?

This is very interesting. I want to present something I recently came across.
If you read the converts catechism of Catholic Doctrine and go to part II, Section II, Chapter 5, number 3(the third commandment).
Q. What is the third commandment?
A. The third commandment is remember the Sabbath that thou keep holy the Sabbath day.
Q. Which is the Sabbath day?
A. Saturday is the Sabbath day.
Q. Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
A. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.
Q. Why did the Catholic Church substitute Sunday for saturday?
A. The Church substituted Sunday for Saturday, because Christ rose from the dead on a Sunday, and the Holy Ghost descended upon the apostles on a Sunday.
Q. By what authority did the church substitute Sunday for saturday?
A. The church substituted Sunday for Saturday by the plentitude of that divine power which Jesus Christ bestowed upon her.
Q. What does the third commandment?
A. The third commandment commands us to sanctify Sunday as the Lord's Day.
According to their(Catholic Church) doctrine
The 2nd commandment in the Bible is not observed, the Sabbath was replaced by Sunday and the 10th commandment was broken into two parts thus fulfilling the prophecy of Daniel 7:25
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
The only commandment related to time is the 4th commandment.
God did not change the 4th commandment nor does he change. God does not change. He does not break his covenant.
The 10 commandments of God are a reflection of his character.
Jesus is truth. John 14:6
God's word is truth. John 17:17
Psalm 119:142,151
God's law is truth.
John 4:24
God's people worship him in spirit and in truth.
Malachi 3:6 - God never changes
Psalm 111:7,8
God's commandments stand fast for ever and ever and are done in truth and uprightness.
Psalm 89:34
God does not break his covenant.
The new covenant is not about the doing away with God's law, it's about where he puts it(in your heart; Hebrews 8:10).
God's saints, remnant keep his law: Revelation 12:17, Revelation 14:12, Revelation 22:14
I pray you study this out and seek what the word of the Lord teaches.
After all the warning in Revelation 14 is about worship of the true God.
The Pope is also known as: The Annuario Pontificio, the official directory of the Holy See, describes the office of the pope by the following titles: Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church.
The Pope is known as the vicar of Christ. The word “vicar” means to be a representative of; the pope is our leader who acts on behalf of Christ.
Christ never gave any man on earth his authority which the Catholic Church teaches was given to the Pope. Claiming that is blasphemy.
Absolutely amazing message. God bless you 🙏🏼❤️🔥
Welcome home BROTHERS AND SISTERS!
I prayed for a baby. My husband and I went through hell pretty much pills surgeries you name it trying to have a child. I went blind while on these hormone pills and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.I prayed and begged hoping for a baby and he did answer. Just not the way I thought. We adopted our son and it was the best miracle I have ever experienced ❤❤
MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU WITH LITTLE AND BIG MIRACLES 🙏❤️🙏
Same experience with adoption after 12 years of prayers. When I changed my prayer to be a mother instead of to become pregnant, I was holding my son in my arms within a year. During my prayer to Blessed Mother, my prayer changed to become a mother & the sun changed position in the sky & lit up the face of the Virgin Mary in a most beautiful way. That was 36 years ago. Sometimes God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers & I actually know why now. God knew best.
Wowwwwwwwww
Finally!!! Well done! You were t to the source
If you ask Him how to heal from MS, as I did 20+ years ago-/ he DID &
I do not have MS HE IS NO RESPECTOR OF PERSONS!!! I’m so happy for you & your baby!
(I’m a midwife(RN/midwife) so the scriptures pop out to me about conception etc..
it is GOD WHO OPENS CLOSES THE WOMB… so MANY MANY SCRIPTURES ANOUT IT
At the 29 th minute, tears during the Mass !
I’m glad to say the same thing my brother. After long years in atheism and new age, I discovered the Holy Mass in 2019, at the age of 49. I ‘m very often in tears as soon as the consecration begins, or when I walk to the priest for communion.
I cry every single Communion 😂
Crying don't mean you know Christ or have salvation. Mass is not in the Bible. Nun
Catholic or CARDINAL
purgatory or EUCHARIST .....all balogna.
The only TRUE is the GOSPEL AND BODY OF CHRIST BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS with the holy ghost. ALL THIS OTHER STUFF IS NOT OF CHRIST

@@TriciaPerry-ef7biwhere did Christ go when he was dead in the body? Hell?
@@TriciaPerry-ef7bi why did Christ go to hell?
I think that because Protestants don't have the Eucharist, they look at prayer as the highest form of worship. So they think praying to the saints is idolatry and something we should reserve to God alone. But to a Catholic, praying is *nothing* compared to the Eucharist. (well, not *nothing*, but way below)
As a recent convert from Pentecostalism, this echo’s so strongly. I am just so in awe of god and more in love that ever, so grateful he came and found me and brought me home, thanks be to god.
I don’t deserve what he’s done in my life but I’m so grateful.
I sometimes smoke a pipe and he even used that to bring me to your videos. Came for the pipes, stayed for the pope. (Sorry the only catholic pun I could think of, god truly does work in mysterious ways).

I love the enthusiasm and joy of new converts. It always puts a big smile on my face. I taught in RCIA for 7 years, and it was a joy seeing the fire being lit. Just a little pointer, because words do have effects. As a Catholic, one cannot TAKE Communion. We can only RECEIVE it. Think of Love, the God who IS LOVE, one cannot take love. We can’t take God, we receive him.
One the subject of suffering, I actually made a fellow worker curious about the Catholic Faith, enough that she entered RCIA and converted, with one remark during a conversation. I simply stated that suffering was a gift. That’s all. The Holy Spirit used that one little statement and It sparked a curiosity that led her to the Church.
The judgment of Babylon (or Rome) is revealed in Rev 18:8. In one hour, she shall be burnt with fire. Following her destruction, Rome becomes the home of devils, and the prison of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. Rev 18:21, shows that the city will not be found anymore.
I always am astonished when I listen to non catholics that they are afraid of losing family and friends if they convert. I am catholic, I would never turn my back on a friend or a relative if they converted to other religions. I cannot understand the animosity against catholicism on the protestant side. Being right is never based on the flaws of other people
Non Catholic Christians are like Muslims...we Catholics on the other hand are open minded if someone we knew want to convert into another religion we only pray for them that they'll find what they're looking for.
@@chwedl13 I was born more than 50 years ago and raised in Spain, a catholic country. I was not taught to hate protestants. On the contrary, we were told to pray for them. When I grew up and started to listen to protestants on the net I could not believe my ears. They believe lies about us. Lies which are not that dificult to check if they want to.
Another explanation to add is that to believe heresy requires a commitment and confirmation bias.
The reasons people believe heresies can include some personal, private, internal experience like gnostics and the LDS seek-which Joshua Charles explained on Catholic Answers how John Calvin made the same mistake in a recent series of articles.
What a great point Rebecca!!
@@MichaelGlowacki covering the supposed enemy in flaws, sins and vice keeps onself vitue intact. The catholic Church is populated with sinners, but that fact does not make the protestant denominations more virtous.

I praise God... the Holy Trinity for bringing you home!
And I can honestly say that, after more than 30 years in the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, my eyes are many times filled with tears of gratefulness for the Holy and silent way I experience the Lord's presence during a Mass... for the way we receive Holy Communion, the liturgy of the Mass! Who would understand this without experiencing it?
We give praise To God in the highest!

God did not change the 4th commandment nor does he change. God does not change. He does not break his covenant.

I have a friend who is Catholic for three years now. She is so in love with it. I am cradle Catholic and have just always been used to it. I love being Catholic, but it is beautiful to see the wonder in the eyes of a newbie. I came back to the church in my twenties after my first child. I felt God calling me. My teenage years, God, to me, was out there somewhere. I just wanted to have fun. After a while, with a few kids and the business of life, God was important but not like He should be. In my 30s, I met third order Carmelites, and my faith became alive again. Now, in my sixties, knowing my new Catholic friend I watch her love for the church, and it livens my love for God again.
yet according to the Word of our Creator, catholicism isn't Christianity.
@@tony1685Go ahead and read from Protestant Pastors who have found their way to the Catholic Faith, they were all trying to prove that this Church was not of Christ.

@@Revelation18-4Mary is not in the grave and the Catholic church teaches Mary did need a saviour in a sense she was preserved from sin since birth
@@Revelation18-4 the Bible doesn't say Jesus brothers were Mary's kids now does it so she is a virgin and you are putting limitations on God's power by saying he is unable to preserve Mary from sin before her birth
Mary needed a saviour the Catholic church agrees in the sense that she was preserved from sin since birth which is true
@@Revelation18-4
The Virgin Mary Mother of Jesus who is God, unlike the rest of humanity, was born by God's gift of supreme grace: Totally and at all times, free of any stain of sin according to the Gospel
The Gospel says in:
LUKE 1:28
28. "And upon entering, the Angel said to her: "Hail, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women."
In Greek
LUKE 1:28
και εισελθων ο αγγελος προς αυτην ειπεν χαιρε κεχαριτωμενη ο κυριος μετα σου ευλογημενη συ εν γυναιξιν
χαιρε κεχαριτωμενη (highlighted).
▪︎ANALYSIS:
The Greek κεχαριτομένη is an extension of three words:
1. - κε (ke). A prefix
2. - χαριτοω (charitoo),
3.- μένη (mene)
"χαριτοω" - filled with divine grace. Passive.
To be full of grace
Specifically:
▪︎κε (ke) is a prefix of χαριτοω which means
the word is in perfect time.
This indicates a present state, product of an action completed in the past
▪︎χαριτοω (charitoo) means “grace”
▪︎μένη (mene) makes this a passive participle.
“Passive” means the action is realized on the subject (in this case the Virgin Mary) by another person (in this case, God).
Summarizing:
The word κεχαριτομένη for the Virgin Mary is a passive participle of χαριτοω (charitoo).
God is the author of this state of grace: ▪︎filled or brimming with grace.
When the Angel Gabriel uses κεχαριτομένη to refer to Mary, he uses the word as A PRONOUN (a pronoun takes the place of a name or title), which represents the identity of the person being spoken of.
Thus, Mary is identified with a simple term, which is NOT her name (Mary). She is NOW known to God as:
"At all times full of grace".
"Full of Grace" is a much better translation than favored, used by some Protestant bibles, which makes verse 38 of Chapter 1 of Luke lose all its meaning.
■PART 2:
In the Greek, the original language of the Gospel of Luke, we have two words to indicate favor:
1.- When it comes to a FAVOR in the sense of pleasure and protection, the following is used:
PROSTATIS, or, Προστάτις, in Greek.
2.- When it comes to "FAVOR" in the sense of benefit, the following is used:
"UPER" written "υπερ" in Greek.
We have in the Bible two clear examples of this:
#1 in Greek
LUKE 9:50
και ειπεν προς αυτον ο ιησους μη κωλυετε ος γαρ ουκ εστιν καθ ημων "υπερ" ημων εστιν
#2 In English
LUKE 9:50
50. Jesus said to him, Do not prevent him, for whoever is not against you is "FOR YOU.”
It is not against us = It is in our favor, as the original says and that favor is υπερ.
Then we see a similar expression in the word "help or aid" as "βοήθεια" in Greek
▪︎Romans 16:2
2. give her, in the Lord, a welcome worthy of God's holy people, and help her with whatever she needs from you -- she herself has come to the help of many people, including myself.
▪︎Ρωμαίους 16:2
2. Δώστε της, στον Κύριο, ένα καλωσόρισμα αντάξιο του αγίου λαού του Θεού και βοηθήστε την με ό,τι χρειάζεται από εσάς -- η ίδια έχει έρθει στη βοήθεια πολλών ανθρώπων, συμπεριλαμβανομένου και εμένα.
βοήθεια = aid, favor.
Clearly in the Bible the two Greek forms of the verb "favor" are used when we want to indicate protection or Benefit, but neither of these words was used by the Archangel Gabriel when he greeted Mary, with which it can be concluded that the translation "highly favored" is not a good translation as it does not fit the original Greek.
The prefixes and suffixes KE and MENE transform the word CHARIS into something present, and this is only seen in Mary.
In short the Angel is not saying that Mary is full of grace (at that moment) but he is referring to her as THE "Full of Grace".
This state, product of a past action (because it is a perfect passive participle), indicates a perfection of grace that is intensive and extensive.
That is why, the state of the Virgin Mary is a state of a past action of God towards her where He has filled her with grace, being thus identified through such lofty term.
Thus, St. Jerome’s rendition of the Greek in the Latin Vulgate as plena gratia, “full of grace,” constitutes the best translation and exegesis of the greeting when read with an eye to the living tradition of the Church and a proper understanding of St. Paul’s teaching on grace.
Before anyone can hope to arrive at a proper understanding of the angel’s greeting to Mary as interpreted by St. Jerome, one should first become familiar with St. Paul’s theology of grace.
As a disciple of St. Paul, St. Luke would have undoubtedly learned from St. Paul the nature of grace, which then informed the Gospel he wrote, particularly with regards to the role of grace in Mary’s life. St. Lawrence Brindisi, who compiles an extensive assortment of Scriptural references to grace in all its varied meanings, acknowledges St. Paul as “the preeminent preacher of this grace,” this grace specifically referring to “that gift of God which adorns the soul through the inpouring of the Holy Spirit.” Indeed, St. Paul emphasizes this understanding of grace throughout his Letters, such as his statement in the Letter to the Romans that “God’s love [St. Lawrence equates love with grace] has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” He explicitly confirms this understanding of grace again in Romans: “But you are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God really dwells in you. Any one who does not have the Spirit of Christ [St. Lawrence equates grace with the Spirit of Christ] does not belong to him.” Thus, grace as understood in the Pauline sense primarily refers to the imparting and special indwelling of God within the soul of a person, a nuance that should be kept in mind when reading St. Luke’s Gospel.
Finally, it should be noted that no Catholic believes the Virgin Mary, Mother of God, is a type of "goddess". The Bible indicates, however, that she was created and called by God, as shown: "κεχαριτομένη", pronounced "Kecharitomene". Such is the word with which God, through the Angel, identifies MARY in all Scripture and means: "Forever full of grace".

John 6:51 - Our Lord Jesus Christ say "I am the living bread which come down from heaven, if anyone eats of this bread he will live forever and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is MY Flesh".
Mathew 18:3-4 - Jesus say to us "unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven".
John 6:47 - Jesus say "truly truly, I say to you he who believes has eternal life".
John 6:64-65- Jesus say "but there are some of you that do not believe. For Jesus knew from the first who those were that not believe, and who it was that betray Him. And He said "this is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless it is granted him by the Father".

"Upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it". His Words. All Christians that time were Catholic, in practice and tradition. So many people saying evil has taken over the Catholic Church, the protestants who left and built their own church. They have all lost faith in His promise.
Jesus save and protect your Church especially in coming Synod Oct. 2023. Hoping that the Holy Spiri will not leave His mystical body The Roman Catholic Church.

Me too
Great story. As a life-long Catholic, I've experienced a lot of animosity from Protestants. Could never figure out why, since although there are differences, we're still all Christians. Only well into my adulthood did I come to understand Protestants are often taught these horrible lies from an early age. Crazy. Atheist are often less acrimonious than a typical Protestant.
Demonizing catholic doctrines and Catholics is always taught taught in many protestant groups
You have to look at the scandals and how they were covered up . Awful, awful things happened to children and adults alike. You are feeling the effect of it. And wasn't the first English printed bible done so by the protestant, Rome was against it.
The Catholic Church does have a lot to answer for still.
@@chi9153 Part of those objections were due to the first English Bible being a deficient, edited version not representing the Canon as it was defined for more than a thousand years. Other objections were that words were deliberately changed for the express purpose of undermining Catholicism. Will you hold the Protestant church to account for these errors? Do you think cover ups are exclusive to the Catholic Church? Are you as indignant about the cover ups by the Southern Baptist Convention?
What exactly is the Church answering for and to whom? Also list what other denominations have to "answer" for.
@drstewart all instructions have scandals but I'm sorry the Catholic Church has been exceptional in the amount, organisation of it and the cover-up. The reason why I reference the bible being printed in English is because the c. Church didn't want ordinary people to know the word. I'm not a.hater, but this person was wondering why this is the view, and this is why. The cover up is still happening.
Just last decade I knew a a.C family and the youngest boy was gay, and the family tried their best to get him into the clergy like that would solve the problem. Crazy!
@@chi9153 "Catholic Church has been exceptional in the amount, organisation of it and the cover-up."
Based on what metric? Your feeling?
"The reason why I reference the bible being printed in English is because the c. Church didn't want ordinary people to know the word"
Wrong. I cited the issues the Church raised in response to the English publication of the Bible. Further, ordinary people did, in fact, know Latin. It's a myth that the ordinary person was entirely unlettered and illiterate. There was education in the 1500s, a good deal of it btw, done by the Church that has supposedly done soo much wrong. If the Church wanted "ordinary people" to not know the word, why is so much of it in every Mass? The claim is demonstrably false.
"The cover up is still happening."
Citations needed. To the contrary, since the late pontificate of John Paul II, the abuse scandal in particular has been addressed, and quite publicly. Which is how you know about it.
"Just last decade I knew a a.C family and the youngest boy was gay, and the family tried their best to get him into the clergy like that would solve the problem"
That has to be the weakest reasoning ever. Because a family belonging to this religion does this thing, that impugns the religion. Do you seriously want to stick with that reasoning? Would you like to know what the more Orthodox Jewish families do? How about the good ol' Southern fundies? Y'know, the ones who either cut their kids off entirely or just beat them to death. Let's not talk about Westboro Baptist Church. Maybe you could find a little outrage there? Nah, probably not.
I think a lot of prodestants look at what church makes them feel good. The right music, the right message, it seems to be about what makes them feel good and if they dont like it, they just find a different church. But as a Catholic, I go to church to honor God. Mass, for me, is about giving God what he deserves. It's not about making me feel good. (Not that I dont love church, or I dont get teary-eyed and overwhelmed with his love because I do, but I dont expect the church community to fulfill me)

40:45 and I just learned Catholic Churches faced east- prior to novus ordo everyone faced east duting the Mass.. which is why the priest had his back to everybody- we were all praying in the same direction.

@@tony1685 Well, you obviously don't know what in world you are talking about! Just keep in mind when you say such a thing, you are actually calling Jesus Christ a Satanist! Not sure you truly meant to label Jesus as a Satanist, but that is how twisted and prejudiced your mind is. Only man with fallen nature is tempted by Satan and his demons...but they CANNOT touch what Jesus established. The hierarchs can only ignore it or suppress it, but its eternal.
@@soulscry8697 Jesus didn't establish this system, Sir -- if He did, it would follow His Word of Truth. but sadly, catholicism mandates sin and hates Jesus Christ -- Bible proves that clearly.

My grandfather became catholic in 1946.
The Roman Catholic Church is the true church because it is founded by God Jesus Christ,the source of all saints .
Really? So what was the church before Constantine? Who were the people Paul was writing to? Paul wrote about recieving Jesus unworthily. Sounds Catholic to me. What was Jesus talking about when he said that he was going to build HIS church on Peter (rock)? What did Jesus mean about loosening and binding? Who did Jesus mean to "do this in memory of me?" Who has a clear line of succession from the rock (Peter) that Jesus deemed to build His Church on?
@@Revelation18-4 sounds like you watched Zeitgeist? Zeitgeist has been debunked over and over again. Try researching …or find a debunking article to help you focus in on the lies being told. Jesus brought His teachings. Whatever you want to call it…. Religion, organized or not… is how we continue his teachings through the sacraments, commandments, works, Faith, worship, and sharing His teachings. Constantine didn’t “start” anything. He simply legalized Christianity …which had been illegal and practiced in secret for hundreds of years.

Its these conversion stories that strengthened my Catholic faith that I have taken for granted. The first video that I watched was that of Steve Ray on youtube "Why Catholic" that had a million views. Since then, in a span of four months since watching that video, I watch as many conversion stories every night until the early hours in the morning, I subscribed to Hallow that helps me pray everyday, listened to lives of the saints and I am now financially supporting 3 small Catholic ministries. Two months ago, my sciatica was healed in the anointing of the sick. Now, I am constantly praying to God to direct me and use me, my life for his greater Glory. These Protestant converts to Catholics are true blessings to the Church. You have initiated true conversion in me. God bless you and thank you so much. Praise God and Glory to God in the Highest. ❤
CLAIMS of the RCC
1. Catholics claim CHURCH refers to Roman Catholic Church. BIBLE says CHURCH refers to all churches. Acts 5:11, Acts 8:1, Mat 16:18. HISTORY tells us Roman Church was just one local Church a member of the Pentarchy.
2. Catholics claim Roman Church was the CHURCH CHRIST founded (First Church) or one true church. BIBLE says First Local Church was Jerusalem Church. Acts 2. Not Roman Catholic Church.
3. Catholics claim there is only One Church. BIBLE mentions both CHURCH and Churches.
“CHURCH” refers to the Body of Christ Eph 5:30, Col 1:18 consisting of all churches. Acts 5:11, Acts 8:1 Mat 16:18.
“Churches” refers to local churches Acts 9:31, Acts 15:41 and believers Romans 16:5, 1 Cor 16:19,
4. Catholics claim to be the first believers. BIBLE says first believers were Jewish Christians. Acts 2, Acts 11:26, NOT roman catholics.
5. Catholics claim Pope is the head of the CHURCH. BIBLE says JESUS is the HEAD OF THE CHURCH. Eph 1:22, Eph 5:23, Col 1:18.
6. Catholics claim outside Roman Church there is NO SALVATION. BIBLE says : The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”apart from Jesus there is NO SALVATION”. Acts 4:12, 1 Cor 3:11.
7. Catholicss claim the first day of the week is a Holy day, made by God. .
The Holy Bible says:
Isaiah 58:13-14
13 “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on MY HOLY DAY, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of the Lord honorable, And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own words, 14 Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord; And I will cause you to tride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”part from Jesus there is NO SALVATION”. Acts 4:12, 1 Cor 3:11.
8. Catholics claim devote to Mary to be saved. BIBLE says “apart from Jesus there is NO SALVATION”. Acts 4:12, 1 Cor 3:11.
. BIBLE says “believe in Jesus to be saved”. Acts 16:30-31, John 3:16.
10. Catholics claim Roman Church inherited infallible authority from Peter. BIBLE does not say that in Mat 16 or John 20 or John 21.
11. Catholics claim Roman pontiff inherited infallible authority from Peter. BIBLE does not say that in Mat 16.
12. Catholics claim bishop of ROME = the pope. BIBLE does not say that.
13. Catholics claim there is an office of bishop of bishops/universal bishop/pope. BIBLE does not speak of such an office. History tells us the first bishop of bishops came in AD590-600s.
14. Roman Church has all the false unbiblical clergies - Roman priests, roman cardinals, roman pontiff, monks, nuns, friars, … BIBLE mentions only pastors, teachers, evangelists, prophets, apostles, deacons, bishop, elders. Titus 1:5, Eph 4:11, 1 Tim 3.
15. Roman Church claim its doctrines come from traditions of Apostles. BUT 95% of roman doctrines are Not from traditions of Jesus or Apostles or Scriptures; neither practised by the Church of the Bible.

"Sunday is a MARK of Our authority, the (catholic) Church is above the Bible and the transference of Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday observance is proof of that fact" (Catholic Record Sept. 1, 1923)
The Bible days "remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day" The Catholic Church ssys "NO! By my divine Power I abolish the Sabbath day (Saturday), and command you to keep holy the first day of the week (Sunday "the venerable pagan worship day of the sun"). And Lo - the entire civilized world bows down in reverend obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church" (Father Enright, "American Sentinel", June 1893)... and there are many more such blaspemious quotes by the catholic church themselves

The Catechism of the Council of Trent, p 402 second revised edition says, "The Church of God has thought it well to transfer the celebration and observance of the Sabbath to Sunday!" And “Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her-she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day, a change for which there is NO SCRIPTURAL AUTHORITY” - Stephen Keenan A Doctrinal Catechism p 174

Ex 20: 8-11 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
8 Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work. 10 But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work-you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it.
@@mitchellosmer1293 How would it be possible that after 1 500 years of Christianity in the Catholic Church, one of its members by himself was able to make Christianity right again? He had the power to remove books from the Bible, he had the power to remove sacraments from the life of Christians, and he became the only unbound authority on doctrine?
So, the Magisterium, the Tradition, and all the fathers of the Church were wrong, and only he knew the unblemished truth? I just can't.

Seems like if this man's parents are rounding the final turn that discussing his faith with them is pretty important. Not trying to be insensitive, I'm just it's difficult but perhaps having weekly discussions about their objections would be advantageous to them eternally.
What an amazing story,watching from the Philippines
Yes, none of us is perfect. We sin. That is why one of the most beautiful prayers in the Mass occurs before the sign of peace; we pray, “Lord, look not on our sins, but on the faith of your Church.” Yes, despite human frailty, the Church, as that institution founded by Christ continues to carry on His mission in this world.

I KNOW absolutely NO Catholic will reply!!! If one does, every answer will be either out of context, or twisted scripture.
Tremendously enjoyable and inspiring! Thank you Gentlemen!
You have to pass by my farm off 141 just a few miles from Dove Creek on the way to Telluride. Just stop by for lunch, coffee or tea next trip! Unless you fly. I don't have a landing strip.
The Catholic Church is the one and only Church in the world.
Yes. And let's try our very best to bring people to it. ❤
No it's not. The church is not an organization it's a living organism. The church is wherever the holy spirit is moving in his people.
Wrong historically and factually. Cult like.
NO IT IS NOT!!! THE CHURCH IS LIVING ENTITY BASED ON JESUS CHRIST...NOT THE DOCTRINES OF BAAL...
@@DrStrange1000 NO, and mo one wants you that truly belongs to Jesus Israel is the pattern, not Rome.
Thank you Jesus and praise be Jesus Christ.
So much fruit out of this one show!
Thise tears are heavenly currency. Great to hear!
How i enjoy every bit of this show of Catholic gentleman😊 ....iam a proud Catholic woman and a lover of mother
will pray you get a Christian Bible and study It, which proves catholicism is not Christianity.
@@tony1685 From where did you get a "Christian Bible?"
@@cindiloowhoo1166 from Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter & Paul -- of course the OT was already written by the time they were alive. and our Creator being the Ultimate Authority & Author.
why do you ask?
The worst thing that happened to the Bible was when it was placed into English/American hands.
Now there are two Bibles, 50 000 Christian denominations and Mosques all over Europe.
What do Mosques have to do with English people?
Yes Muslims in Catholic countries
@@inchristalone25 "Freedom of religion"... Neopagans and Muslims rampant conquering Christian territory, the next thing to happen will be martyrdom, we all know most of the martyrs were killed by Muslims and Pagans.
Yes, I find American Protestantism incredibly strange. Even here in Europe, Lutherans, Anglicans, Baptists and other mainline denominations etc wouldn't go as far as to call Catholics "Not Christian" or "Pagan" or the usual rubbish American Evangelicals come out with.
The worst thing that happened to the word of God was that some man sat down and told the European countries about it. Then they ran spreading their diseases and another Christ to others nation's.
Thank you. Jesus answered my question to him about this very subject. I needed answers and he sent me to you ❤. The lord always responds when I ask him to show me the way.
Praise God. Prayers for your continued journey. - John
Have he had read The Fourth Cup: Unveiling the Mystery of the Last Supper and the Cross? It changed my mass experience. I am a convert too.
Blessed be God, Welcome home. May your testimony help other souls looking for truth and refreshment.
I love this conversion story. And yes, sinner as i may be i also can share the miracle of the joyful tears as explained in minute 29. Since July5th 2020, after confession, i experienced this miracle and since then whether i am in grace or not, everytime i attend mass, it happens around consecration through communion! I am so blessed and humbled to be in good company in the Catholic church. And this video is a rénewal to my soul. Thank you and God bless you all for sharing!
THIS IS The Apostle Paul's Admonition to the MEMBERS OF Church of Rome! Romans 16:17 Now, I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18 For they that are such serve NOT our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by GOOD WORDS and FAIR SPEECHES deceive the hearts of the simple.
What miracle?
Fantastic story-so similar to mine - keep up the good work
Please, do not forget that our mission as Catholics is not to convert people; rather, our mission is to practice our faith, believe in Jesus, and show people the value of the Catholic Church. Those who reach and understanding of the faith will come voluntarily, and with a firm, believe that the Catholic Church is the right place to be.
Mark 2:27-28
These verses contain a number of things critical to Sabbath keeping:
Jesus refers to the Sabbath as a specific day; it is THE Sabbath, not a Sabbath.
The Sabbath was not made for its own sake as were the other six days, but as a service to mankind. An alternate translation would be that it "was made on account of man." Jesus presents it as the Creator's specific and thoughtful gift to man.
It was not made just for the Jews, but for mankind. When God created the Sabbath, He intended it from the beginning as a UNIVERSAL blessing to benefit mankind. He made it to help ensure man's physical and spiritual well-being.
The broader context reveals a disagreement over how to keep it. Jesus claims to be its Lord, its Owner or Master, and He thus lays claim to His right to show by His example and verbal instruction how to keep it, not whether to keep it. Since He expresses no disagreement with keeping it, He implies that He expects man-not just Jews-to keep it. He has a perfect opportunity here to reply that it does not matter if men keep it, but He gives no such indication.

What is the Greek word for man in Mark 2 27?
The Greek words translated "the man" in this scripture are ὁ ἄνθρωπος (Gtr. ho anthropos) - Nominative case, and τὸν ἄνθρωπον (Gtr. ton anthropon) - accusative case.
>>>
There are many people who believe that because the Old Covenant and the Ten Commandments were given through Moses, that it was never created for Gentiles, and no Gentile should keep it. However, Jesus said that the "Sabbath was made for the man" (Mark 2:27), and here will analyze the meaning of this statement. This explains that the Sabbath was made either for all mankind, or for Adam.
#4.03 THE SABBATH DAY WAS MADE FOR THE MAN
Greek - MARK 2:27-28 - English
καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς τὸ σάββατον διὰ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐγένετο οὐχ ὁ ἄνθρωπος διὰ τὸ σάββατον 27 And he said to them, The Sabbath was made for the man, and not the man for the Sabbath:
ὥστε κύριός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καὶ τοῦ σαββάτου 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath.
>>>
GENESIS 2:1-3
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Note: Jesus did not say that the Sabbath was made for the Jews, he said it was made for the man (Mark 2:27). The Greek words translated "the man" in this scripture are ὁ ἄνθρωπος (Gtr. ho anthropos) - Nominative case, and τὸν ἄνθρωπον (Gtr. ton anthropon) - accusative case. Look at some definitions of it.
(James Strong p26) "444. ἄνθρωπος (559x) anthropos ... man-faced i.e. a human being: man (552x), not tr (4x), misc. (3x).
Anthropos is used (1) generally of a human being, male or female, without reference to sex or nationality:"
(Joseph H. Thayer p46) "444. ἄνθρωπος -ου, ὁ, [perh. fr. ἀνὴρ and ὢν, i.e. man's face; ...] It is used 1. univ., with ref. to the genus or nature, without distinction of sex, a human being, whether male or female: Jn xvi 21. And in this sense a. with the article, generally, so as to include all human individuals: ..."
There are a number of ways how this word "anthropos" is used in the New Testament, in the singular, with the definite article. It is either used of a particular individual, where the article is called 'the individualizing article', or it is used in a generic sense of a class of people, so let us look at some examples:
(Mark 2:27) "The Sabbath was made for the man, and not the man for the Sabbath:"
If the article used in this scripture is meant in a generic sense then it can only refer to mankind as a whole, so "the Sabbath was made for mankind". The word "anthropos" is never used to mean "Jews" as a class unless it is specifically stated in the context, even though Jews are a part of the class of mankind. So we cannot possibly interpret this as, "the Sabbath was made for the Jews" unless we twist the scripture. A number of translations follow this generic sense of the word anthropos. Here are a few examples but they are not the only ones.
Common English Bible (CEB) "The Sabbath was created for humans; humans weren't created for the Sabbath."
The Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) "Shabbat was made for mankind, not mankind for Shabbat."
Good News Translation (GNT) "The Sabbath was made for the good of human beings; they were not made for the Sabbath."
Lexham English Bible (LEB) "The Sabbath was established for people, and not people for the Sabbath."
New Revised Standard (NRS) "The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath."

Thanks beautiful testimony
29:00 Blessed be God, God in His mercy, he allows so many to repent and to experience His true presence.
It's extremely interesting. Thank you for sharing awesome knowledge. GOD bless you 🙏 😊
Let us pray!
YOU ALL please pray for me. I got back out here CUT OFD? I wasn't this way and now I am regretting not FIGHTING BACK AND listening to THE HOLY GHOST...... repenting. EVERYONE lying.
This is one of the best podcasts I've seen recently in the last few days of course they've been lining them up with the algorithms but of course that's a little bit good because otherwise I never would have found it U-Haul I will say that him being on fire is one of the things that did really attract me to this podcast today and also the fact that finally understood why people would say the Catholics aren't Christians I grew up Catholic so I had that advantage or that disadvantage because the things he knows I do had to be a Catholic I did not need to know them my mom had me baptized and then communion and then confirmation and I still have my comedian dress from when I was six and don't know what to do with it and so but I finally get the negative which is why people have wrongly said Catholics aren't Christians I grew up on the west coast I'll say it straight up and really does not that much prejudice on the west coast nothing like the East Coast or the South okay there's just not and I didn't know that when I left the West Coast that I was going to encounter so many problems in that regard although I don't let them bother me it's like wateroff a duck's back I see I thought at the time when I heard that criticism not pointed at me because nobody really cared what religion you were you did your religion that was your private life where I lived on the west coast but I finally now see that but I thought at the time well how can you have Catholicism unless you had Christ so if you have Christ then you are Christian and this is ridiculously I got that DNA I think from my my dad were things that don't make sense I just totally disregard they don't they don't touch me they don't enter me they don't upset me I don't even think to counter them because they're so ridiculous and my dad actually was not Catholic by the way he said he was because you had to be to marry a Catholic but he definitely was not Catholic we found out after he died from something in his belongings that he his mom was a Lutheran German I myself was a Anglo Germanic Catholic which of course is distinct from an Irish or Italian Catholic we actually have a lot of less fun things than they have in terms of foods and religion list religious festivals and so forth but it was okay so. I am in Texas now and I've only found two Christians I believe they are Christian and action all the rest are fake assuming they even would say their Christian which I'm not so sure they would even dare to say that but be that as it may I did find problems with the first one when I mentioned mother Mary and I thought again this is so ridiculous and I don't think it's just an an instinct in me and so I said to this young man who was much younger than me who I ran into in Walmart of all places and we talked for over an hour maybe 2 hours about all sorts of things mostly with the spiritual band but not necessarily about Catholicism or protestantism I think he was with a non-denominational church though it was still looking in this town to find one that seemed to fit is how I believe he turned it but I think I said to him again because I don't get upset and I've learned in Texas that is considered bad to think about mother Mary so I think I said where everyone has a mother you know so of course
Oops. I hit the SEND button on the previous comment BEFORE I could edit it 😮I'm sure there's a ton of mistakes that I wasn't able to edit out. In all events, I had a recent discussion with a nice young woman who was sort of searching for a religion --as she was in a non-denominational church --& we spoke regarding the saints. I said why not pray to them ? I've prayed to all the different saints and I told her the ones I pray to for different things: they're human beings and we know they lived and we know they were very holy. I do believe in an afterlife. ACTUALLY I do NOT believe, I KNOW the spirit continues on beyond the veil and the invisible is more powerful than the visible,as the Japanese say.
I feel badly that I sent on the earlier comment with huge mistakes because I talk into my phone and then the phone translates my words in strange ways.
What I would like you to do is bring this conversation into the MODERN-DAY and discuss your viewpoint and what do you think is the Catholic viewpoint on the genocide being perpetrated by the Zionist state-- massacring an entire race of people, an indigenous race of people, an ancient people, the majority being babies, children and women,many with child, in the Holy Land .
Christians in the Holy Land were once 10% and they have been reduced to 1% as the zionists push them out, murdering them now, including in Bethlehem, the town of Christ's birth. The Palestinian Christians feel betrayed by the Christians in America and Europe.
Please respond. My initial reaction was of course what is occurring is wrong because it's genocide and genocide is nothing Christ would do. Secondly, I have been to the Holy Land in the 80s when it was calmer and right then I figured out to whom the land belonged. I met folk from both groups. Then recently I decided to research this and what I discovered was that Catholics have NEVER believed in the reality of a state or country or nation for the Jews. IT simply is NOT part of the New testament and they believe the New testament superseded the Old testament and they the Catholics believe that the temple is NO longer the Temple Mount which the Jews are trying to take back from the Muslims but the temple, as Christ said, lies within the body of Christ. NOTHING could be more simple. NOTHING could be more straightforward.
AND yet the Pope will NOT say this. THE Pope as far as I can tell is sitting on the fence. HE still gets yelled at by the zionists when he gives compassion to those in Palestine who were being murdered and maimed and the children killed or left without their limbs and the babies left to die in the hospitals or in the wombs of their mother through starvation. I contacted one priest and I could only speak with his secretary who didn't have a clue what I was talking about and when she said he was too busy during this holiday season to see me, he was going home to his family, I knew then his mind & his heart and his soul was not where it should be. HE was in hell because that is the only place you can be as a pastor who believes in the genocide of anybody or anything for any reason. As you can see I do not mince words .
Having said that, I would like your opinion. A recently read that the priests in America are lacking the courage to speak out and I would say that is correct but although I like this Pope, I do not think he is taking the correct Catholic stance according to scripture and thus it is difficult for priests to speak out when their leader is staying in essence silent.
I've always remembered since a child the following story that I know you and your guests could say more correctly and with greater detail but here it is: Christ said the crow will crow three times and before it finishes I will have been betrayed by all. AND that is what happened. AS is a teeny child I REMEMBERED that story and I took it to ❤️ even though I'd never been betrayed in my life and was not really very knowledgeable of what that meant but I understood the deep feeling and I understood the importance of what had occurred to Christ, our savior. We have betrayed the Christians of Palestine.
I call those groups giving money & allegiance to the genocidal Zionists Jews EVANGELICAL PROTESTANT ZIONISTS because I a cannot in good faith call them Evangelical Christian Zionists because NO Christian would embrace genocide , let alone give money and prayers to encourage it.
Please hosts and guest respond. Thanks 🙏
If you are at a loss at how to respond I would recommend you Google all of the videos on the Christians in Palestine specifically the Christian pastors priest in Gaza and what they have to say and how they are being killed as we speak and yet the Christians do nothing. Just today I saw how a large group of Christians went to Israel to pray with them and of course we're spotted by the Jews because people don't seem to get it Muslims get along fine with Christians Jews do not. Look at the way they trim Christ again and again in their holy books and then look at how the Muslim holy book calls Christ a holy man and never disparages him or his mother Mary. The Evangelical Protestant vastly outnumber the Zionist and they give millions and millions to Israel to specifically buy more weapons and to use in every way they see fit because these Protestants have misinterpreted the Bible I wish you could look at the passages they quote and show how they have misunderstood those passages completely there is a father a Catholic father called Andre Marie whose videos I first saw months ago and he says that and he does explain in some detail but not enough detail to really understand the misinterpretation and I would like you to go into detail. Thank you.
Two mistakes in the previous comment😅
1. THE Jews spit on the Christians not spotted the Christians. OF course they first spotted them but then they spit on them and that was on May 28th of 2023 but it has occurred many times before and many times since and is even now occurring and happened during Christmas when a few Christians were brave enough to go to the HOLY LAND during this genocide.
2. THE second error which I had meant to correct but I forgot is:
Andre Marie is a brother. HIS title is BROTHER ANDRE MARIE. I think you all would like him because like you he has studied theology a lot because of his vocation. I think you would really really like what he says and I would love to hear your interpretation of what he says vis-a-vis the Evangelical Protestant Zionists saying that the Bible tells them that Israelis can do no wrong and therefore they will back the genocide occurring because the Zionist Jews in the zionists state can do no wrong according to the Bible which of course is not the New testament but rather the Old testament that believes in revenge and an eye for the eye and the destruction of an entire people and entire land if you think they are against you
Being Catholic is also being Christian and I know miracles have happened to non- Catholics. Don't take away what Jesus Christ can do for anyone. Faith like a mustard seed please understand. I would recommend to all to read the book, The Delirious Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Anne Catherine Emmerich. May God be with you on your journey to His Heavenly home.
*Dolorous Passion of Our Lord. Great book.
To be truly Catholic therefore means to enter into the Catholic wisdom tradition. It means appreciating all of creation and looking at the world from a universal perspective. It means adopting a holistic outlook that encourages personal growth and social transformation. It means building community and learning from history. It means not being afraid to ask questions about faith, about the Church, or about the world in which we live.
Which Catholic doctrine or tradition defines the duty for "social transformation?" While community is part of any religion, and indeed any aspect of identity one wants to magnify, "building community" is not the goal. It's not about how we can relate to each other.
I’m a convert from Methodist, Pentecostal and Baptist/Free Church iterations of Protestant faith to Eastern Orthodoxy. Sixteen years later and no regrets…Just discovered your channel and am enjoying your content. Thank you!
That is why we need the Third Secret of Fatima. We, Catholics lost the battles without the Third Secret of Fatima since 1960.
Wow 🙏 what a journey to the Catholic Church ! Thanks be to the Lord Jesus Christ. I truly enjoyed listening to this new Catholic gentleman - hearing him pointing out what is so simple & facing me on the face but never seen it, I’m referencing about the master of deception attacking the Catholic Church from all & every side. Thank you for this wonderful interview. God bless everyone 🙏🙏🙏❤️
Amazing 👍🙏
I think your tears could be re lates to the non-catholic community you once served. The profound awareness of Jesus presence in the Eucharist, is also a reminder of how many are not in the fullness of faith. You pastured people. It was not just walking away from a job.
I am a Catholic senior lady widow that loves to listen & so thankful for God putting my late husband in my life. I will be donating for your special project ....this is 2nd time to watch this show ...we need more true Catholic Gentlemen...keep on keeping on....God bless all!

Listening to your faith journey is inspiring and admirable. Jesus Christ is real in Catholicism regardless .... Thank you gentleman. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
