@Gooey1000 Welcome home to His Church, God Bless.

When you find your life is the same as Solomon's in the book of Ecclesiastes, then cry out to God for the truth that will set you free

Wow beautiful. Always wanted to do that. Couldn’t be a priest as married tho 😔

@Oldparson220 Awesome testimony , God is amazing. Thanks Father, God Bless.

Thanks. Father.

2 Corinthians 11:3 KJV Bible “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” The papacy has always preached a false gospel. Not the Gospel.

John 3:3 KJV Bible “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Glory to God. pray for me.

Thanks, God bless!

I think those Protestants who sincerely seek the truth and are humble , are the ones who discover the TRUTH in the Catholic Church

@@gianne4228 Yep, and I have a few of them on here, but the intense anti-catholic ones love to fill my comments, and i do pray for all of them, as they are heart braking souls.

I am also (still) Protestant maybe going to be catholic because I accept that Mary and the saints hear the prayers, but God is also with the protestants, because the preacher of the protestant church gave me also messages and that comes from God.

@@youreapwhatyousow6057 Well God was definitely with me when I was a Protestant Preacher. He also led me into the fullness of the Faith in His holy Catholic Church. But the Catholic Church considers our Protestant Christian brethren ss "separated brethren " and recognizes baptism as long as its done properly ( in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit) .Whereas many Evangelicals sadly, consider the Catholic Church to a false church and a cult, the whore of Babylon, etc. But yes, I had a genuine, real relationship with Jesus. But that relationship is a billion times better.

@Jeepjones85 I will definitely be praying for you. I don't know if in watching various apologetics videos you've come across Tim Staples, but his testimony is not only that he a former Pentecostal and Baptist preacher , not only became Catholic , buy over time his family not only ( I mean parents and siblings) became Catholic but his pastor brother ( very anti-catholic) not only came into the Church but also that same brother ended up becoming a Catholic priest. So there is great hope for your family. God Bless.

@catholicskeptic Wow that is amazing, I haven't heard of him but will definitely check him out. I really appreciate what you are doing. Thanks

@@Jeepjones85 Thank you, all the Glory to God.

As a confirmed Catholic who's attended those churches before realizing the same thing. I highly urge you to stop delaying, receiving Christ by way of the eucharist, praising with reverence, there's no comparison

@@DavidTheZealot Amen to that.

@@EPH-re2xj yes I have read the Didache and what many of the church fathers have said. Especially the early Church fathers. And just like Hugh in the video, I am utterly convinced that the Catholic Church and its teachings are true. There is no way of seeing this any differently when you study the early church, and what it believed for so many years. The evangelical churches as of today are really off course on many things, because they have strayed so far from the traditional teachings. Even the teachings of Luther. I have been in many of these debates, and nobody has been able to convince me otherwise. I have watched many videos and read many books on this subject, and while I once believed that the protestant church offered the best teachings and had good solid theology, I have now come to realize, how wrong I was for many years. All I can say is you really have to study the early church. Once somebody does that, and if they are honest, it becomes very difficult not to recognize the truth of the Catholic Church, unless of course they want to continue to cling to the traditions that they have been taught.

@@EPH-re2xj honestly, that is such nonsense. It’s ridiculous and absurd to say the least. I’m sorry I have to just say it as it is. How you can draw such a conclusion is unbelievable. Without realizing it, you’re condemning the church, and saying that the gates of hell prevailed against it.

@@vinb2707 Hey thanks for your input, excellent evaluation. Oh and this person Eph1:23 is a Dispensationalist, a type of Protestant who follows the teachings of John Nelson Darby and C I Scofield. Thry taught that only Paul's epistles are for us today; that the 12 who followed Jesus didn't even understand the gospel; that they and the gospels themselves are only for the Jews. So they basically reduce the New Testament to the size of a pamphlet, as far as what's applicable to a Christian today. So they basically believe that the "real truth" was hidden away for around 1800 years, until Darby came along. A lot like Joseph Smith and Charles Taz Russel of Mormon and Jehovah's Witnesses fame. Only "Paul's Revelation ", they claim. 🤔🤦‍♂️🤪

@@EPH-re2xj the problem is you’re getting your history from people to do not understand church history nor have read church history. It’s like learning about the United States from people in Spain or Portugal or France or China. Obviously they do not know American history and they will twist it to something that is non-recognizable. You need to really go back and examine the history of the church.

Thanks, all Glory to God!!

​@@catholicskepticGrowing up I was surrounded by protestant fundamentalists. The first argument they would throw at me was Matthew 23:9 and the need to born again. What was frustrating is their disregard for the early church fathers. Today, I have several friends who still do not care to look at the early church fathers because they hold to sola scripture.

Appreciate the Orthodox Church, I have a friend who is an Orthodox Priest, he started out in the same Evangelical circles, although he saw the Light much earlier than me, God Bless.

the Greek Church recognized the authority of the bishop of Rome over all churches, as the pastor of unity and the doctor of the faith, during the entire first millennium - You should know that the truth about that authority of Rome has been officially proclaimed by the Council of Nicea II - there is no way you can historically prove the authenticity of the Orthodox Church as the true communion of the faithful that Christ established

The Roman Catholic Church has given tradition much weight when establishing and practicing her beliefs, yet the Bible clearly warns against this. In Matthew 15:3, the Lord Jesus Christ says, "Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?" Paul says, in Colossians 2:8, "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." Catholic writings are filled with phrases like "the Church teaches" or "tradition teaches" or "the Church has traditionally taught". In light of the above Scripture, shouldn't true Christian writings be filled with phrases like "the Bible says" or "according to the Scriptures"? Friend, are you following God's pure words or are you following man's tradition? Perhaps you're thinking, "This is anti-Catholic hate literature!" No, actually, this tract is based on God’s word. If you doubt it, please check the references for yourself. What have you got to lose? Even when Rome professes to believe the Bible, we must remember that the Catholic bible is very different from the written word of God. The Catholic Church includes several books in their Old Testament that are not God's word. The Catholic Council of Trent of 1541 placed a curse upon everyone who does not accept the Apocrypha as inspired Old Testament Scripture (See Catholic Encyclopedia). In doing so, the famous council pronounced a curse upon Jesus Christ and the New Testament writers! In Matthew 23:35, Jesus said that the Old Testament began with Abel (The Book of Genesis) and ended with Zecharias (II Chronicles). Since the Hebrew Old Testament ends with II Chronicles, there is no room left for the Apocryphal books. This explains why the Lord Jesus and the New Testament writers never refer to the Apocrypha or quote it. These writings were not accepted as Scripture. So Jesus, Peter, James, Paul, John, Luke, and the rest are officially cursed by the Roman Catholic Church. Lest someone claim that this is no longer a Catholic belief, we refer the reader to page 61 of the Catholic publication, Faith of Our Fathers, by Cardinal Gibbons: If only one instance could be given in which the Church ceased to teach a doctrine which had been previously held, that single instance would be the death blow of her infallibility. So there is no absolute Final Authority in the Catholic Church. There are dual authorities: tradition and the Catholic bible, which is entirely unscriptural (Isa. 8:20, Mat. 4:4, Col. 2:8, Mat. 15:3). God's word alone should be the Final Authority of any Christian institution.

Thanks, it was just right for this video, I thought.

Thanks, the other two books I mentioned were Thomas Howard's Evangelical is Not Enough, and Scott Hahn's first book of his own testimony, Rome Sweet Home.

For those who believe in once saved always always saved, how is 1 Timothy 3:6 possible? Isn't a convert a Christian? Isn't a bishop a Christian? How can you have a valid bishop that is not Christian if baptism is necessary for valid ordination and baptism is what makes one a Christian not reciting the non biblical sinners prayer.

Another great one is Four Witnesses (Catholic evidence from four Early Church Fathers)

@rustydahler4715 We live in challenging times. I found a decent parish, and came in contact with Catholics who are serious in their faith, and very much on fire for God. But sadly there are parishes in my Diocese that are sadly in sad condition. I encourage you to seek out such places in the area in which you live. Sometimes you may find a chapter of The Chesterton Society, search the internet for one near you. These are groups that meet together to read and discuss Catholic writings by G.K. Chesterton.

@@catholicskeptic I always appreciate ‘real’ and ‘honesty’ - not the superficial posing that has imposed itself on society since the 1990’s Australia’s evangelicalism went down hill when the ‘Word Faith’ ministries of Kenneth Copeland and the like spread their tentacles into Australian households more strongly in the 1990s. I was even labelled as being demonic from the pulpit simply for writing to the pastor with my reservations about his authoritative teaching on giving to receive 10 to 100 fold, as too many people were giving everything they had to God (the pastor) while coming to me for help with their bills… and the pastor was living showing off God’s financial grace with material acquisitions. That was my last day in the local church scene. Especially when the people I had so graciously shared meals with, helped out with both my time and resources decided that I was not a fit person to associate with… Hehehe… Luckily I have thick skin… :) I remember one guy that I had helped quite a bit, trying to embarrass me in front of a group of people in our local petrol (gas) station while I was ordering my lunch. I still remember the short; sharp, two sentence exchange… ‘I haven’t seen you in church for quite a while David. God wont be pleased.’ My reply across the small crowd that stood between us at the counter, ‘Why would I go to a church with people like you inhabiting the pews?’ The same guy told me months before that God had laid on his heart to ask me for $2000 odd dollars to fix his car because I would receive 100 fold for blessing him. Thankfully I didn’t hand over the money… :) Ah… the joys of dealing with self serving people. Thankfully I learned a good lesson from that episode in my life. It taught me to ‘test the spirits’ before jumping in whole heartedly when dealing with new situations.

Jesus founded His One True Church Mt 16 18-19 that became known as Catholic or Universal in 110 which codified your bible in 382. His Church is the fullness of Truth 1 Tim 3:15 & has existed for 2000 yrs, in spite of sinful men, proof of its divine origin No organisation, such as Protestantism can survive without hierarchy & a unifying authoritative interpreter, the fruits being confusion, division & scandal of 000’s of sects, resulting from personal interpretation, which is not of Jesus who willed unity Jn 17 11-21 No Protestant has ever been able to explain why personal interpretation, if guided by the Holy Spirit has resulted in 000’s sects proving that either the Holy Spirit is wrong or more likely, Protestantism! There are none so blind as those with a darkened intellect which the Holy Spirit obviously isn’t enlightening! Consider the damage caused to society by relativism, caused by there being many “truths” of Protestantism which have resulted in contraception, which until 1930, all denominations prohibited until the Anglican broke away in 1930, abortion, IVF, divorce, SSM, LGBGT, transgenderism etc. Protestantism has a lot to answer for!

Thanks for that thoughtful comment. I can't write a sufficient answer due to time constraints right now. But i suggest you watch my video on "Can The Pope Be Wrong?" As i think I addressed some of what you are speaking of in your comment. Otherwise I will try to get back to you on this later. God Bless.

Does your church claim to be “The” church that Christ founded? Can it’s pastors be traced back to the 12 Apostles? The Catholic Church proclaims itself to be the True Church, for innumerable reasons. Focus on the doctrines which are conveniently laid out in the Catechism of the Catholic Church rather than “Catholic” opinions on social media. And study early Church History. I recently asked a Sola Scriptura Christian if he would follow Jesus no matter where that led - even if it led to the Catholic Church. He changed the subject. Too often the anti-Catholic prejudice is deeper than a person realizes and that can blind one to certain truths. So ask Jesus to lead you to the very Fullness of Christian Truth. Just be willing. ❤

John 3:3 KJV Bible - When Christians are born again they have Jesus. *He's not in a wafer.* Paul tells us that *Jesus told him* (Paul isn't quoting the Gospels) him that the bread and wine are the body and blood. (1 Cor 11:23). What does Jesus say? He said "THIS [bread] IS my body" (1 Cor 11:24, see also Mat 26:26). Jesus didn't say this is LIKE my body or any other figurative/parable language. It is very LITERAL language. Jesus says, "this is my blood of the new testament [with wine Mat 26:27-28]. 1 Cor 11:23-29 KJV 23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. 27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. So how important is this bread and wine? First off, Jesus blesses the bread and wine (Matt 26:26) and makes it holy. It becomes so holy that eating or drinking the consecrated bread and wine while being in a state of sin/impurity is invoking damnation upon one self (1 Cor 11:29) Why?? Because the person has not realised "discerning" that this is the Lord's body (1 Cor 11:29) Matthew 26:26-29 KJV 26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 2 Thessalonians 2:4 KJV Bible - Popes are not vicars of Christ, nor infallible. *Papal Infallibility* Infallible doesn't mean sinless or perfect. "The Roman pontiff, when he speaks *ex cathedra*... possesses through the divine assistance promised to him in the person of blessed Peter, the infallibility with which the divine Redeemer willed his Church to be endowed in defining the doctrine concerning faith or morals” (Pastor Aeternus 4). What does "ex cathedra" mean? It relates to the teaching office held by the pope. “when, *acting in the office of shepherd and teacher* of all Christians, he defines, by virtue of his supreme apostolic authority, a doctrine concerning faith or morals to be held by the universal Church.” *Pope and the title of Vicar* Vicar of Christ, a title of the pope implying his supreme and universal primacy, both of honor and of jurisdiction, over the Church of Christ on earth. It is founded on the words of the Divine Shepherd to St. Peter. Jesus asks Peter THREE TIMES (funny coincidence) if Peter loves him. Jesus instructs Peter and Peter alone, to “Feed my lambs… Feed my sheep” (John 21:15-17). In doing so, Jesus elevated Peter above the remainder of the flock i.e. the body of Christ i.e. the Church i.e. all believers. Jesus was going away and put Peter in charge. By doing so, Jesus fulfills the promise made to Peter in Matthew 16:18-19, to build his the Church upon Peter. So the Church is built upon St. Peter and is made the leader of that Church. John 21:15-17 KJV 15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, *Feed my lambs.* 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, *Feed my sheep.* Matthew 16:18-19 KJV *18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.* 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

@@alisterrebelo9013Catholics choose to follow the papacy. I follow Jesus.

@@user-wk1li2cm5o We choose to follow the authority of Jesus that he gave through the Holy Spirit by breathing on to the Apostles (John 20:22). The Apostles delegated this Authority to others including Paul. Paul gave this Authority to Timothy and others by laying of hands (2 Tim 1:6), which they have given to the Apostolic Churches including the modern Catholic Church, through the unbroken laying of hands. The Holy Spirit has never failed to guide the Church, (John 16:13-15) despite all you implicitly blaspheming the Holy Spirit by thinking otherwise. You will be judged for your disobedience in not doing the will of the Father (Matthew 7:21-23). You say you love Jesus, but you mistrust Jesus's plans and refuse to submit to the people he has put in place to watch over you (Hebrews 13:17). In refusing to follow Jesus's instruction to follow the Church, which is the pillar and ground of truth (1 Tim 3:16) you are showing that you don't truly believe Him (John 6:40). Good luck to you, you were shown the light. I'll be praying for you. John 20:22 KJV - 22 And when he had said this, *he breathed on [them], and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:* 2 Timothy 1:6 KJV - 6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up *the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.* Matthew 7:21-23 KJV - 21 *Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.* 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will *I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.* Hebrews 13:17 KJV - 17 *Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account,* that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that [is] unprofitable for you. 1 Timothy 3:15 KJV - 15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in *the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.* John 6:40 KJV - 40 *And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him,* may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day

Jesus founded His One True Church Mt 16 18-19 that became known as Catholic or Universal in 110 which codified your bible in 382. His Church is the fullness of Truth 1 Tim 3:15 & has existed for 2000 yrs, in spite of sinful men, proof of its divine origin No organisation, such as Protestantism can survive without hierarchy & a unifying authoritative interpreter, the fruits being confusion, division & scandal of 000’s of sects, resulting from personal interpretation, which is not of Jesus who willed unity Jn 17 11-21 No Protestant has ever been able to explain why personal interpretation, if guided by the Holy Spirit has resulted in 000’s sects proving that either the Holy Spirit is wrong or more likely, Protestantism! There are none so blind as those with a darkened intellect which the Holy Spirit obviously isn’t enlightening! Consider the damage caused to society by relativism, caused by there being many “truths” of Protestantism which have resulted in contraception, which until 1930, all denominations prohibited until the Anglican broke away in 1930, abortion, IVF, divorce, SSM, LGBGT, transgenderism etc. Protestantism has a lot to answer for!

So close & yet so far! Sounds like Protestant Propaganda is still playing a role! Can you mention a few Catholic doctrines that, according to you, have changed! Go to Catholic Answers for more information
