congrats brother and welcome home!
YAYYYY !!!
Deo gratias!
welcome home. it would be great if you make testimony video, too
yeah 😃 💒⛪💒
I find it interesting that Catholics seem to be focused on Christ and the joy that comes through faith, while protestants seemed focused on.....well protesting the Catholic church
Well said.
Neither is the Truth !!! ...only the Bible can be the source , trust in God not in Traditions of Men ..the Pharisees made the same mistakes
"The Bible Alone" has given us 33,000 different churches claiming to have the truth. You need Sacred Tradition and History to know how to interpret it all, if not you have chaos
barry johnson Barry where do you think the New Testament came from,
I can tell right now not from any of the 40.0000 thousand Christian Churches that are around today. It was put together by the Catholic Church. around the year 397-425,,,, study your History. your pimping pastors are not cutting it today.
barry johnson
Read and learn something new, not only do we read the Bible but it was the Catholic Church who put it together, that is the (New Testament). around the year 350-450AD.
The Protestant Church is not the Author of the Bible. your first Protestant Church , was when Martin Luther, Protested against the Holy Catholic Church. and the ball is still rolling, to date: 40.000 thousand Christian sects. and counting.
all claim to be the true Church, But none can be traced to the Apostles.
The Catholic Church is the Church that brought the Bible, to the World, 2000 years of History. in the early Church the Bible was written by hand over and over, and has been studied over and over, for the last 2000 thousand years, The Catholic Church has volumes and volumes, and volumes, of books, from the Church fathers, in reference to all the Chapters of the Bible.
You can find these in the Vatican Library.
and most Catholic Universities.
you guys really are a joke you like to attack our Church, but are Ignorant of Church History, most of you Christians act like there was no Church prior to the year 1500AD.
But there was it was called and still Called. One Holly Catholic and Apostolic. I love the fairy tale. stories I get when I ask Christians where the New Testament came from. where was the Christian Church hiding for the first 1500 year of History. no answer. Because there is none, and the answers I get are like fairy tales. nothing solid, no foundation, you guys are taught to lie, and hate Catholics, bottom line, most of your pastors would not have a clue about Church History, most become pastors overnight, 3 months. that in it self is a joke.
So using the Bible against the Church that put it together only makes you guys look like buffons. learn facts then speak.
By using the Bible, that was put together by the Catholic Church you are accepting a Catholic Truth, If you reject the Catholic Church as a Christian Church, then you must reject the Bible, that was put together by The Catholic Church.. think about it?
Your question poses a dilemna for Protestants. They think the Church never had authority, including proving inspiration (not just assuming it) and the final compilation of the Holy Books at the Synod of Hippo in 393 AD. If the Church had no authority, then the books of the Bible must have gathered together with "true believers" reaching a consenses by the Holy Spirit telling each individual leader with no required authority. This theory is absured.
Historical revisionism takes the place of historical facts, because if they admit the Catholic Church had the authority from God to compile the Bible in the forth century, then they must admit the Church's authority comes from Christ Himself. They have to admit there is more to Divine Revelation that the written word alone. The authority of scripture is a Sacred Tradition of the Church.
The early Christians had no Bibles for 300 years becuase there was no such thing as a Bible as we know it. So what was their authority? Private interpretation? It didn't work well for Arius.
Revised history makes up lies about the history of the Bible for the sole purpose of discrediting the authority of the Church, although they inconsistently make no mention of the fact that their New Testament has the same list of books that the Church made canon.
Canon 29 of the Synod of Hippo (393 AD) made the first list of books, including the ones that Martin Luther threw out because they didn't suit his opinions.
What the Catholic Faith offers is something that most people from the outside do not understand. What they do not know is that every practices, traditions and beliefs are all centered to being closer to God.
I also am a convert to the Catholic Church. I studied the Bible for many years, and believed it to be the basis for Christianity. I searched out the church that followed the Bible the most closely. The Epistle of St. James eliminated the Lutherans. Hebrews 9:27 (and many others) eliminated the Calvinist (once saved, always saved) sects. Eventually I got it down to the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church. The tie-breaker was one verse - Matthew 16:18.
You CANNOT separate The Bible from Jesus , you cannot Love Jesus if you dont love his Word there not separate ..The Bible isnt simply the " Basis " for Christianity ..Its The Word of God !!! All religions bel;ieve its the " Church " ..Thats the Lie ....The Truth is Jesus ...WAKE UP !!!!!!! REPENT !!! AND TRUST IN JESUS ALONE !!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen, myapeal!
+MrBazinthenow Then what comes first Bible or Church ?
Well, the Church was around about 400 years before the Bible was put together...
Robin Poe Well done sister Robin for your words do not come from any man but from Jesus Christ who build the church on Peter the first pope... we should come together to fight SATAN who nourished our falling brother and sister with a sin of PRIDE .
I am a Catholic and every time I get to know more the Church, I love her more and this Faith the Lord gave me throughout my mom (rest in peace), ... With no arguments, no scoldings, no screaming, no threats, no criticism, no attacks, no prejudices...BUT A WITNESSING OF INFINITE LOVE AND TRUST IN GOD... She never taught me to hate non-catholics, but to pray for them, to forgive and to bless... She taught me to give alms to the poor, to know the miracles, and preachings of Jesus, the Pascal Mystery: He IS GOD, who took flesh from Mary, and gave this body and soul up on the Cross for me and every single man on earth, from past, future and present.. WHETHER THEY MAY BELIEVE IN HIM OR NOT, That and much more I learned as catholic... I don't think this came from anywhere but JESUS... Don't argue, but LIVE what you believe! THAT'S THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD: "Not who says 'Lord, Lord', but he who DOES MY FATHERS' WILL shall enter in Heaven"... Testimony of holiness and TRUTH,.. that's what the world NEED BADLY TODAY..! GOD BLESS YOU!
God bless you Safire.
God bless you too, Molom... sorry to delay reading your comment.. we lost a beloved member of our family.. But our Faith in the Eternal Bliss, GOd's Love is what keeps us up... Amen.. Glory to God, now he is with Him.. hopefully when we pass, away, we may be as close to God as he was... Rest in peace..
Saphire Kingmar Sorry dear for the death of your beloved family member. We pray for his/her soul that the Lord Jesus may have mercy on his/her soul.
Yes, we shall join our beloved ones very soon. RIP.
Thanks so much, Molom... I really appreciate your sympaties and prayer.. God bless
Saphire Kingmar Helo dear soul sister. How are you doing since last. You are a good person. May the Lord Jesus protect you wherever you are.
Quote of the day:
"There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be."
-Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
Amen!
Amen,
PS: Patrick Montgomery,
You are a living proof of that quote. May God let you see that one day.
Patrick, you seem like a very angry person.
Lawdawg......... remember Bishop Sheen is one of the RC spin doctors who tries to make the churches doctrines appear biblical, and keep the faithful believing some of her weird teachings and practices.
Venom......... That quote is even stupider than Bishop Fulton Sheens, but only by a narrow margin.
I am also a convert to Catholicism I LOVE being able to say that I am Catholic now I came Home to the church at Easter of '18
I converted four years ago and it felt like a "coming home" the first time I attended mass. Yes I face persecution all the time but now I see that as a blessing. I know I am exactly where God wants me to be. Thank you Jesus for leading me home. Love and prayers to all.💛🙏✝️
Awesome Anna thanks for sharing your story,My wife and I also are converts from a mormon background 20 years ago,we truly have been blessed with a gift from God to hear his voice and be invited to his banquet! Peace be with you ✌🤗
welcome Home God Bless You. 💒⛪💒
To all you catholic haters out there, got 1 question for you: how do you explain that when you study satanism, you find anti-catholicism and not anti-islam, buddhism etc...?
I think its anti JESUS mostly
David Rice Right, and when people are possessed by Satan they call a CATHOLIC priest. Satan and his helpers attack the Catholic church because it is the only one Satan fears because it is the only true one. You notice Satan doesn't waste time on the Protestants because he has them already.
Prancer1231 Spot on,brother. They have a black mass, not a black mosque,black jewish temple,black buddhist temple, nor a black baptist church or anything else. Ironic as it seems, I heard a protestant preacher say "if the devi ain't standing in your way, you're facing the wrong direction. Another irony is the parable in which Our Lord told.the story of the enemy sowing weeds among the wheat. So..wanna find God's garden, look for the most weeds
David Rice ....David there are always good questions expecting goof answers...hahahahaaaa
Patrick, honestly, your posts read like your having a stroke.
I have relatives who are Protestants & I have been trying so hard to embrace their beliefs but I can never accept many things they believe: Salvation by faith alone, NOT by works (no need to follow the ten commandments or good works or behave in good ways to be saved)' & 'Once saved always saved (even if you commit murders or other vicious crimes)'
I'm glad I'm not Protestant.
Read the Bible more my friends.
You Can only be save BY FAITH. Good works however, cannot save us.
Look, The Bible says that Good works cannot save and that the Prophet Isaiah describe our good deeds as 'dirty' tags.. But the bible also says that good works is the result of faith. Because when you have faith, you start to do good deeds, but those deeds CANNOT SAVE YOU
+Nathaniel Borces
"Read the Bible more my friends."
Does any man read it enough, brother?
"You Can only be save BY FAITH. Good works however, cannot save us."
Nobody, if he is careful, would say that our works save us. What makes you so sure we actually believe that? Just as we teach that one is not saved by faith *alone,* so we also teach that one is not saved by works *alone.* Holy Scripture explicitly condemns faith alone, as James chapter 2 demonstrates. In my experience, St. Paul's many epistles are cited, but here's the rub: St. Paul never affirms faith *alone.* Saying we need faith is not the same as saying it is all we need. I have found that raising the argument requires over-extending Paul's writings, or else misunderstanding what he means by works (which refers to the Old Testament law).
You implicitly accept some of this yourself, when you say "But the [B]ible also says that good works [are] the result of faith. Because when you have faith, you start to do good deeds, but those deeds CANNOT SAVE YOU."
You have affirmed exactly what James has said: that faith without works is dead. All you have done is truncate certain works into faith. You have conceded that we are not justified by faith alone.
"Look, The Bible says that Good works cannot save and that the Prophet Isaiah describe our good deeds as 'dirty' tags."
The same God who said our works are filthy rags also commanded us to do good works, to do the will of our Heavenly Father, and to be perfect as He is Perfect.
+Nathaniel Borces faith and works save , they sanctify you , what's the point of sinning one day and the next God will save me , because I have faith he will , yet you don't follow what he wants from you , to be like Jesus, like the apostles, one and one go together, faith alone cannot save you and in works a lone can't save you either it's both or nothing. sacrifice.
You are not reading it through the Historical context. Works, as in Works of the Law, Halachik Law of the Jews. Those were the old laws, other than the 10, the 603 other Laws that the Jews thought would get them to Gods Kingdom. Those are the laws that don't allow you to act responsible to real things about the world, and the people in it. Christ came to abrogate the Laws of the past, other than the Natural Laws, and let people know that doing good Works are important to your Salvation into the Kingdom. This is always so misunderstood--all you have to do is study a little History, and Little Jewish History, and realize that Christ many times says that you are suppose to do good works in many ways for many people. Do you guys not hear His words, or is everyone just deaf to the Truth. I really don't get it, and it gets so frustrating listening to people argue over stuff you don't understand anything about, but just spew words from some Once Saved Always Saved Preacher, or Sola Scripture, or anything else you want to muster so you can all have a Savior in Jesus Christ but not a Lord and Savior in Jesus Christ. See, having a Lord means you are supposed to Obey.
And I don't care if I misspelleedddd any words. You get the POINT, or maybe you don't.
nice to have you. God bless you!!
Can God fail?
While in Africa, Pope Francis said that "he always carries two things, a rosary...and a book of God's historical failures" Watch it here: th-cam.com/video/4Wdi5UF3QBE/w-d-xo.html
The Bible describes God as being perfect, He cannot fail. Why would the Pope say such a thing?
Please read this to find out: remnantofgod.org/books/docs/CoA/CoA%20ReaderFlat.pdf
Thank you Anna, welcome and we love you
Beautiful testimonial on her faith journey. My wife & I also went through RCIA and life is good.
God Bless you, Anna.
Now that you are Catholic, the prots will attack you endlessly, because Protestantism is built upon rebellion. 1 sam 15:23 says "Rebellion is like the sin of witchcraft" and Protestantism is rebellion
***** The BIBLE comes from the Catholic church. Your prot copy was altered by your bridegroom LUTHER and here are scriptures which prove you WRONG that are rejected by protestants: Scriptures that prove Catholic Doctrine & Dis-prove prot doctrine:-
➡ Traditions of the Church are NOT "Traditions of men:..2 Thess 2:15 Paul tells us to hold fast to the traditions we have been taught either by word of mouth or by the letter.
➡ Repeating a prayer is not "VAIN REPETITION":- "Vain repetition" simply means INSINCERE WORDS.
Rev 4:8 The living creatures that are before the throne of God in heaven REPEAT day and night: "Holy Holy HOly is the Lord of Hosts...And Jesus himself repearedly asked that this cup pass from him.
➡ Scripture ALONE is incorrect:- JOHN 21:25 Jesus said & did many other things that are not recorded in writing... John 20:30-31..30 Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31 But these are written that you may believe[a] that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name
1 Tim 3:15- The pillar & foundation of truth is the CHURCH ..The Church predates the Bible by 4 centuries. The protestant doctrine of scripture ALONE was invented by Luther for the purpose of disobeying the Church. This doctrine implies that you must be literate & of adequate intellectual capability in order to be saved, which contradicts what JESUS said: :Faith is for the "simple" and the "Wise" do not understand the things of God
➡ "Faith Alone" is incorrect
REV 20:12-I saw the dead, great & small standing before the throne. Books were opened & another book. The dead were judged by their WORKS as recorded in the books
James 2:14-26(NKJV) Faith Without Works Is Dead
Matt 19:17 Jesus tells us if we want to enter into Life, we must keep the commandments.
James 2:24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
1 Timothy 2:9-10New International Version (NIV)
9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good works, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
The doctrine of "scipture alone (solascriptura) was invented by Martin Luther, who created it so that he could didobey the CHURCH, which is the Pillar & foundation of thruth" 1 Tim 3:15. The church existed 4 centuries B 4 the Bible did & 15 centuries B 4 the doctrine of "scripture alone"
➡ Believers do not escape judgement:-
2 Cor 5:10--ALL will appear before the judgement seat
➡ Not all images are forbidden, nor are all images idols:- EXODUS 25:18-22--God commands images of Angels to be made-NUMBERS 21:8-9 God commands another image to be made, a serpent
➡ The True presence of JESUS in the Eucharist:-
JOHN 6:52-56-- Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man & drink his blood you do not have life in you. For my flesh is food indeed & my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh & drinks my blood has Eternal Life & I will raise him up on the last day.
Luke 22:19-20
19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me." 20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.[a]
➡ HOW ARE WE BORN AGAIN?:-
John 3:3 "Unless a man is born of water & the spirit, he will not see the kingdom of God"
This proves we are "Born again" of WATER (Baptism) & not just by "asking Jesus into our hearts" as the prots claim.
➡ Baptism is neccessary for salvation: Mark 16:16: He who believes and is baptized shall be saved.
➡ Blasphemy:-
MATT 12:31-Jesus warned those who accused him of using Beelzebub (a demon) to cast out other demons, that there was an unforgivable sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. This sin is to attribute the works of GOD to satan.
➡ Judging others: Matt 7:2-The same judgement u use to judge others will be used 2 judge YOU. ..Luke 18:10- 14.. men praying in the temple. One knew he was a sinner. the OTHER one, filled with pride, instead of focusing on his OWN sin, condemmed the other man. Only one man left the temple justified in the sight of GOD. I was the one who acknowledge his OWN sins. not the one who spent his time condemming the other man
➡ Infant Baptism:-
Baptism is neccessary for salvation:-
Mark 16:16 He who believes & is BAPTIZED shall be saved.
Rom 5:18-19-ALL have inherited Adams sin and the condemnation it brings.
The apostles baptized entire families (this would include children) Acts 16:15 & 33 also 1 Cor 1:16.
KJV = 1Peter 3:20,21 8 souls were saved by WATER. 21 = the like figure whereunto even Baptist doth also now SAVE us. THE END.
??
➡ Confession:-
Jesus gives power to the Priests to forgive sins: John 20:23 He breathed on them & said, "recieve the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven, Whose sins you retain are retained"
➡ Faith alone is incorrect:-
Rev 20:12 says the dead are judges BY THEIR WORKS.
James 2:24 You see it is by works a man is saved and not by faith alone
Saints are not among the dead & we are not forbidden to speak to them:-
Matt 17:3--JESUS spoke with Moses and Elijah (long passed out of this world)
Revelation 5:8- 4 living creatures & 24 eldars fell down before the Lamb offering him golden bowls which contained the prayers of the saints mingled with incense
➡ Infant Baptism:-
Mark 16:16:-He who believes and is baptized shall be saved
Romans 5:18-19: All are born with Adam's sin and need baptismTop of Form 1
??
Acts 16:15,& 33 & also 1 Cor 1:16 The Apostles baptized Entire families. (This would include infants and children
➡ Purgatory:-
Matthew 12:32 Whoever speaks a word against the son of man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will Not be forgiven, either in this world, nor in the "world to come" This implies that some sins are forgiven in the "world to come" (purgatory)
also 1 Cor 3:12-15 & more in the Catholic Bible
➡ The sin of presumption:..1 Cor 10:12..Let he who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall ..Matthew 21:31-..Take heed lest the harlots and publicans go into the kingdom ahead of you
➡ WOMEN ARE NOT TO BE TEACHERS OVER MEN IN THE CHURCH:.. 1 Timothy 2:12
➡ Call no man "Father" :-
1 Corinthians 4:15
15 You may have ten thousand teachers in Christ, but you don’t have many fathers. Through the Good News I became your father in Christ Jesus.
John 8:56
56 Your father Abraham was overjoyed that he would see my day. He saw it and was happy
➡ One True Church
+ MATT 16:13-19--Jesus gives keys of the Kingdom to Peter. PETER THE FIRST POPE HOLDS THE KEYS
+ 1 TIMOTHY 3:15--The pillar & foundation of truth is the CHURCH
Eph 2:19-21 calls out a visible unified church built on Apostles with Christ as the head, but people reject that cornerstone as WordMinistry does here.
/
Catholic (katholes) is in the Book of Acts in the original Greek Texts:
The term "Catholic", derived from the Greek word καθολικός (katholikos), which means "universal" or "general", was also used to describe the Church in the early 2nd century. The term katholikos is equivalent to καθόλου (katholou), a contraction of the phrase καθ' ὅλου (kath' holou) meaning "according to the whole". Thus the full name Catholic Church roughly means "universal" or "whole" church.
Jesus spoke ARAMAIC. He did NOT call Peter "petros." He called him "CEPHAS" and He had already told Simon that his name would be changed to CEPHAS. Cephas means "ROCK," not pebble. R.O.C.K. We know Jesus was speaking Aramaic because He called Simon "Simon bar Jona" - that is Aramaic.
➡SAINTS are not among the dead:..The Saints in heaven are very much alive -Hebrews 12: 1.."And therefore we also having so great a cloud of witnesses over our head, laying aside every weight and sin which surrounds us, let us run by patience to the fight proposed to us."
& offer up prayers for us so I as a Catholic merely return the favour! I Love the saints!
Rev 5: 8
"And when he had opened the book, the four living creatures, and the four and twenty ancients fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of incense, WHICH ARE THE PRAYERS OF SAINTS."
John 11:25-26...25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.
2 corinthians 5:8 Paul tells us that to be absent from the body is to be with the Lord
➡ Did Mary have other children?:
While on the cross, Jesus gave his Mother to John. If Mary had other children, this would not have happened, she would have been assigned to live with one of her other children: John 19:25-29--Behold Your Mother
25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!" 27 Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.
➡ WHY ARE PROTESTANTS SO HOSTILE TO CATHOLICS?
Because they follow the reformers, who where inspired by the spirit of rebellion. 1 Sam 15:23 tells us "Rebellion is like the sin of witchcraft" And protestantism is rebellion. The Protestant Church was founded for the sole purpose of fighting against the Catholic Church.
Furthermore, being inspired by the dragon (the great deciever) they reject Our Lady:
In Gen. 3:15, there is a fight between the Woman (and her offspring) and the dragon. In Jn 19:26-27, Jesus has given his mother (the Blessed Virgin Mary) to be the mother of the faithful represented by apostle John. Surely, there is a great conflict between the Woman (BVM) and her offspring (the faithful) against the dragon and his offspring. This simply answer why the protestants are so full of hate against the blessed mother of Jesus and to the Church that our Lord Jesus Christ founded.
Rev 12:17--Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring--those who keep God's commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.
➡ THE "WISE" do not understand GOD's KNOWLEDGE:-
Protestants percieve themselves to be "Wise" in their knowledge of scripture. In many cases it is more important to them than how they treat others. Will their "Knowledge save them?
Luke 10:21 (KJ21) | In Context | Whole Chapter
Luke 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in Spirit and said, "I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed
them unto babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Thy sight.
➡Will claiming that Jesus is Lord get you into the Kindom of Heaven? Will it save you?:...
Matt 7:21...Not everyone who calls me Lord Lord will enter into the Kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father in heaven.
➡ Should people who claim to follow Christ harrass, Bully, or chase after others 2 get them 2 convert?:.. This is what JESUS said: as recorded in that Bible U thump, don't y'all claim to obey him??? - Luke 9:5 If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off our feet as a testimony against them."
***** nope. scripture existed in limited form on scrolls and parchament. The average person did not possess any scriptures nor could they read.
***** Protestant atrocities Henry VII mass murdered Catholics all over England Cromwell's armies mass murdered a full 1/3 of the Irish & sold others into slavery. Followers of Luther burned Catholic homes with families in. French prots hacked Catholics 2 death in French Revolution. Puritan prots in the new world burned people alive at Salem witch hunt Swiss armies killed catholics etc etc
***** I have told exactly the truth. Distortion comes from the man made church of protestantism
***** as will you also, perhaps you should focus on YOURSELF instead of others since you do not know me NOR do you know how I live my life
God bless you Anna please dont listen to the rhetoric many of these ill willed misguided christians are spewing forth. If they knew there history and read the fathers on how they practiced and worshipped then maybe they could see the truth that we are to be obedient to His Kingdom and those he put forth as our leaders and protectors of his church. If it were not for authority we would all be Arians as saint Athanasious said woe how the whole world has become Arian. This is the bread of the new covenant(testament) NOT this is the book of the new covenant. Scripture never says that scripture alone is not the sole guide of the faith. Scripture also tells us that not everything was written down of what Jesus taught or other events in his life. The Scripture we use today came from the catholic church. If it was infallible in creating it then it was infallible in teaching the faith. Cant have one without the other.
Patrick Montgomery I know Church history. Church doctrine the scriptures and your comments about rapists does not even warrant a response. Catholics are not a denomination, we take all.of scripture into account not a sparsed out, out of context verse splitting doctrine to fit our own doctrine. John 6 for the bread along with the emmaus account and the last supper in conjunction with what St Paul writes in the book of Corinthians about the bread we eat and cup we drink in the breaking of the bread. If it's just a communal meal then why would damnation come upon you if not that the bread and cup signify something real and significant. The whole history of the bread of the presence in the holy of holiest as well as the mana from heaven along with portions of it being I side the ark with the staff and the tablets all point to symbols that will be made real in the person of Jesus christ. Temples are where sacrafice was made jesus made fulfilled the temple with his body and each one of us are His body living stones in which this miraculous sacrifice is made real every day in continuity with the temple sacrifices of salvation history but now elevated. Baptized yes I am baptized with water as Jesus told us to do AND I am sealed in the holy spirit by the laying of hands from those who have been given the apostolic authority to minister in jesus person as scripture so purposefully details. May your humility and charity grow in the future. I'll say a prayer for you.
@Patrick Montgomery I never said you or anyone else was NOT a christian, I did say to not listen to the negative comments by many and apparantly yourself who degrade and denounce her's and mine christianity. I guess you fail to see the irony in your comments. Mathew 7:3. As for the facts of my comments you can give arguments if you'd like and I will try to charitably and respectfully answer. I have no ill will toward you as a person, if you are baptized you are a child of God, I can on the other hand judge and have an opinion on your comments. And I dont think your comments address any real content but try to knock down a strawman by labeling me a NON christian, one of those Roman Catholics. I guess I am less than in your eyes. Sad indeed. God bless you I'll say prayer for you again.
@Patrick Montgomery ok bye bye ..look who is passing judgement.
@Patrick Montgomery I am born again in water and spirit, in 5he name of the Father and the son and the Holy spirit. You wont accept that and have judged that I am no a christian. Yes there is a difference between discernment and judgement. You have discerned to judge that I am not christian, abide by your own rules. Have a nice day.
@Patrick Montgomery again you ramble without any clear direction, I do repent of my sins, I examine my conscience nightly and weekly reaffirm my commitment to God by participating in His sacrifice by laying my.life down as a sacrifice for the other. And my faith is great to move mountains but means nothing if not without love. For faith without works of love is dead. Have nice day. I pray you can try to humble yourself.to actually learn what roman Catholics believe.
I officially converted from being a Protestant to a Catholic in 1999. I had been attending mass for many years before that. I have never regretted it. I love my Catholic faith and feel blessed to call myself a Catholic.
What an Awesome testimonial of from this young lady!! God bless you!! As a Catholic from birth I can honestly say that I learn from people such as this what my faith us all about. It's very sad when catholics in name only leave the Catholic Church for something else and never knew exactly what they were leaving!! Thank you Jesus for the grace you have given me and for helping me to open my heart to you through your holy church!!
agree
I'll let your misguided post speak for itself. God help you!
joel.. Your comments make you look like a poor representative of your Christian faith.. I feel bad for you. STOP JUDGING OUR LORDS HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH.
It's a fact that Jesus Christ only founded one church my friend not 30,000 different ones. There is only one TRUE church. The Catholic Church was instituted by Christ himself... not by man. Jesus Christ left the Church to guide us. It is the members of Christ's Church who wrote the Bible not the other way around. As far as our lords body in the Holy Eucharist, read up on Church Father's like St Ignatius, St Polycarp, and St Justin Martyr. ... They learned the Christian faith directly under the apostles themselves. THE HOLY SPIRIT DIDN'T FALL ASLEEP FOR 1500YRS... for the rebellion of Luther to show us the way. ST PAUL SAID "THE PILLAR AND FOUNDATION OF TRUTH IS THE CHURCH"... so if you want to persecute Christ's church... KEEP IT UP. GOD GUIDE YOU!
Val O'Brien How do you explain this then?
15
"If your brother sins [against you], go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother.
16
If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that ‘every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
17
If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector.
18
Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Why do Christians always fight with each other? It hurts the Church
First, Catholics don't fight. Catholic always live peaceful. Protestants fight
BOBBY MULWEE it certainly hurts the church. It is intended to destroy the church . It is the wish of Evil to be against God. Jesus warned us and told us in advance that he would build His Church and that the Gates of Hell would not prevail over it. We have had traitors from the inside and
Ennemies from the outside who try to destroy it but we have to stay confident of the promise from Christ that they will never win.
@Patrick Montgomery Your ancestors, from your name, were Catholics for about 1200 years before the heretic priest Luther invented protestantism
Patrick Montgomery the fact that there are thousands of protestant denominations means they disagree. Not fight physically. The fighting against Catholics is over thank God but the divisions are there. It is bad for Christianity, people who look at all those groups who do not have an authority who leads them , are not taking Them seriously, that is why it hurts.
Peter Shimray our teachings tell us not to fight but to stand up for the Truth. By standing up for the Truth people who do not know the Truth will hate us and fight us. Our greatest example is Jesus the Christ. He also said “those who hate you (followers of Christ) , hate me and those who hate me, hate My Father.”
I look around the world, Catholicism is the best to keep the flock together under Jesus my saviour. I have no doubt.
This girl is a major reason I returned to the faith. God bless you Anna. I hope to thank you in person one day.
I am an Roman CAtholic for 39 years and thank God I was delivered from a salvation of Faith+ works! Thank You Lord for God's Grace alone! "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast."Eph 2:8-9 (NKJV)
When I was a child I was born into a Christian church stop going to church on in my teenager years but now I feel drawn to a Catholic church for some reason but feel really nervous about going by myself mainly because I don't know how to act in a Catholic Church
Do you know anyone who goes there? Maybe you could go with them.
Try emailing the church office:) they're might be an adult group that's open if your looking for community building:) or see if they are having any service projects or events!! If not just being reverent in the mass will help!!! Good luck exploring the wonderful church
Don't let that keep you from attending. It would fill my heart with happiness if someone new wanted to attend my church! And I'm sure they will all be so happy to receive you!!
I've been intending mass for the last couple weeks it has been great I really love the church I've been tending to St. John's University in my area i've been really getting involved with some of my church activities Hoping to join the rcia
In September i'm glad I made this choice thanks for the great videos you post
*****
May God profoundly bless you. I will pray for you.
Catechumens [i. e. those who desire and are enrolled in RCIA] who, moved by the Holy Spirit, seek with explicit intention to be incorporated into the Church are by that very intention joined with her. With love and solicitude Mother Church already embraces them as her own."
Lumen Gentium (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church) Chapter II, Section 14, paragraph 3 (parenthesis, my own)
CATHOLIC IS TRUE BORN 30-33 AD FOUNDER JESUS CHRIST ...
YA AMEN.
Patrick Montgomery
The Catholic Church was in Rome two hundred years before Emperor Constantine was born so how could he invent it?
Read early church history and cease being Protestant. To paraphrase Cardinal Newman
Norgie Alison wrong, the "Roman" Catholic Church didn't exist until around 330 A.D. and became the official religion of Rome in 380 A.D. under order from Emperor Theodosius I. Jesus did not establish the Catholic Church, the church Jesus founded was on the day of Pentecost when he told his followers to go and sin no more, his disciples became fishers of men and spread the gospel, these early christians were not catholics. The Catholic church was established hundreds of years later and was rooted in paganism, that is why they adopted pagan symbols and traditions to attract other pagan religions to join.
Norgie Alison no, Jesus is a Jewish rabbi. Not Catholic at all.
Humberto Chávez true!
Amazing. Thanks for sharing. Welcome home. God bless you always
Excellent. Thank for sharing. Welcome home
My love, I am Catholics. I seek God in every other denomination. Well the true living God is in the Catholic Church. I cannot begin to explain miracles upon miracles God performs in my life everyday. Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door will be open. Never ever imagined experiencing God how I do today. God Bless abundantly
Jesus was not a christian nor he was a god. He was a jewish messenger sent by god to the Jews. His religion was Judaism.
This is the kind of thing that truly breaks my heart. As bad as the catholic church is there are so many good people in it. Unfortunetly I don't believe Jesus will except being ignorant of the truth as an excuse for being catholic. The Devil can and does work in the catholic church. It should be no surprise that he would grant all kinds of supposed miracles if it would keep you doing something he knows will lead to your ultimate destruction. satan offered Christ ALL kingdoms of the earth. He can and does all the time, grant power and many things to those that will follow and worship him. I think everyone has heard the phrase "Sold your Soul to the Devil". This is extremely real and extremely comun. I prey that none underestimate his power. I think most of us forget that at this time he has been given dominion and powers on earth. I do not think most people understand or realize before Lucifer fell he was A/number one Angle in Heaven, it was his pride that became his downfall! There are enough signs the catholic church is truly evil and pagon. Not even the greatest speaker can change fact. No matter how convincing one might be, a blue sky will always be blue. There are an awful lot of christions that are not Christians. The Bible is the inspired word of God. It is ALL TRUE. It is amazeing how many professed Christians do not believe it. It is becoming harder and harder to be a true Christian anymore. Those that are and stay faithful receive the ultimate reward in Christ.
Alexandra Sonson GO TO ISLAM THAT IS THE TRUTH
God bless you!
This testimony is amazingly wonderful.
God bless you Anna! You have come a long way in search for truth, and the Holy Spirit has crowned your efforts with a profound inner peace, a solid Faith, and a Eucharistic union to Christ's own essence - those who reach out for Him are never forsaken. Considering your young age, your degree of wisdom speaks volumes in terms of maturity compared to most adults' comments which smack of arrogant absurdities. These people forget Christ's dictum "Judge not, that you may not be judged" (Matt 7:1).
Welcome home my sister in Christ
Where do you thing all Christian faith comes from, that's correct Catholics.
FFS 32 Were the originals. ❤️
Hi there, I was just wondering if anyone knows what religion she converted from?
As a Catholic, I have been to a lot Masses. As I was listening to our priest's sermon and he was telling the congregation, that if we put Christ first in our lives, Christ will be with us in the bad times. Then just before Communion I felt the presence of Christ, sharing the Eucharist with us, the Mass participants. I even could sense exactly where he was in the church. Right in front of the altar at the bottom of the stairs....i really did not want the Mass to end. I wanted to be with Christ all the time. It really was a special experience.
Welcome Home!
Cool,keep it coming
John 11:25-Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies.”
actually Jesus also said "unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you." The only way to eat His flesh and drink his blood is in the Eucharistic that he gave to the Holy Catholic Church
Amen to you my sister in Christ. You inspire me to grow more closer to God through His Son!

Welcome home ^ ^
sola scriptura is not biblical. not every word is in rthe bible *****
***** let me ask u where in the bible says bible alone? or where in the bible is the word bible? sola scriptura is not biblical
***** not everything Jesus did or said is written
there is only one true church amigo.*****
+Gatinho88 how do you know it's yours or if there all fake!!!
May God have mercy on your soul
hello the person who says to study the catholic church can you show me a direction to what library you got your info please and show what religon you follow? please i
Hi Anna, Welcome to Catholic Church. May GOD Bless You more!!!
Everything Prots attack can B found in the BIBLE: Mary, Miracles, prophecy, prayers of the Rosary, Eucharist, even statues and apparitions are in the Bible. JESUS appeared 2 people after his death. So did Moses and Elijah. Don't let them keep you from truth, they work for "the accuser"
MsCynthiaX There is only one true church.
***** Protestants follow MEN Catholics follow JESUS. No matter how U "Witness" to us that fact never changes. NONE of us who actually know our faith well, would ever leave the LIVING Jesus to follow reformers. Besides, "Witnessing" to prots usually means harrassing
***** ➡ Traditions of the Church are NOT "Traditions of men:..2 Thess 2:15 Paul tells us to hold fast to the traditions we have been taught either by word of mouth or by the letter. In fact it is PROTS who follow the traditions and doctrines of MEN. LUTHER invented the doctrines of scripture alone and faith alone and both of the contradict scripture. JESUS speaks of his living presence in the Eucharist in John 6:52-56. Maybe you might want to aquaint yourself with his words
***** All I have seen you prots do for 14 long years is to swarm onto Catholic videos to bully, harras & condemm us to hell, telling us how WRONGH we are even though YOU FOLLOW MEN (reformers) from the 1500's I am a former prot myself, so how will you convince me to leave the LIVING PRESENCE of JESUS to once again follow MEN as you do?? By your snottiness?? I don't think so. The ONLY tghing U convince people of is that You have a HOSTILE Spirit instead of the peace that passes all understanding
***** Protestantism has nothing to do with JESUS. your bridegrooms are Luther, Calvin and Knox from the 1500's and you spirit is one of strife and bickering. Protestantism exists ONLY to fight the Catholic church. period
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 1 Timothy 2:5
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. John 3:3
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:5
According to scripture there is only one mediator - Jesus. No saints, no Mary, no pope have any special access or privileges to God. Unless you are 'born again' by spirit you are dead in your sins and cannot have a true relationship with God. Salvation is something only God can give, it is not by any works of our own.
Don't put your faith in 'the church', seek God's true word which doesn't change and cannot be corrupted.
blackeyedme There are many other scriptures which indicate that works are necessary such as James 2:24, Rev 20:12 and Jesus's mandate that if we want to enter into LIFE we must keep the commandments
What you're saying contradicts the message of salvation. Those verses don't.
It is true that faith without works is dead, it is the product of true faith. We should strive to obey Gods laws, but it is not what saves us. If it was a requirement for salvation we wouldn't need a saviour, Jesus death wouldn't be necessary and grace would not be a gift.
Rev 20:12 is talking about those who rejected Christ, who will be judged on what they have done. Those written in the book of Life are Christians who have trusted Jesus as their righteousness, and are made righteous through him alone.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Romans 3:28 - "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law."
+blackeyedme Rev 20:12 The dead R judged BY THEIR WORKS James 2:24 A man is justified BY WORKS and NOT by Faith alone. Matt 19:17 Jesus tells us if we want to enter into Life, we must keep the commandments. John 6:52-56 We must eat the flesh & drink the blood of the Son of an or we ill not have LIFE in us
+blackeyedme You are WRONG protestant
+blackeyedme Matthew 25:31-46 The Sheep and the Goats31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ 40 “The
King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the
least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after
me.’ 44 “They
also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a
stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ 45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ 46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
Here Matthew is discussing our very salvation. Sounds to me like good works are extremely important to our salvation. It is true that by Grace we are saved but because of our fallen nature we can reject it any time so we must be ever vigilant to serve the lord in every way. Forget about this whole faith + works argument and just strive to BE HOLY. As Jesus said, "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
Keep I up Anna. I have kind off a similar story. My father is a Seventh-day Adventist preacher. I was born into it. When I was 14 somebody invited me to a play, after the play the young lady in-charge began some cath thing. It was the stories of the saints. I was so much touched that I began to ask God if this is the true church. God gave me a signal answer. My God's experience since that time can not be explained. Thanks Mary who helps me understand and feel Jesus.
Wonderful. Welcome Home.
Only Jesus!
NO Catholic church will save you!
ONLY JESUS!
Mary is either resting or She is living a worry-free life with Jesus in Heaven. Jesus did not honor Mary by giving Her the burden of hearing the moans of sinners. She is SAVED!Only Jesus intercedes and prays for you, Not Mary. Only Jesus is more than enough.
yup he started a church the catholic church and thru that he saves you
He started Truth not an organization of salvation, Truth is a Person and His Name is Jesus Christ (YeshuaHaMashiac:Salvation is the anointed/anointer)
Mark 7: 5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?”6 He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:‘This people honors Me with theirlips,But their heart is far from Me.7 And in vain they worship Me,Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’[b]8 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men[c] -the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do.”
Jack Landwehr You believe a person over God? No Wonder!!
I KNOW I must go with Jesus ONLY ! John 6:35
And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.36 But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
You see, is ALL about Jesus, Not an organization of "faith". REPENT! Run to Jesus! BELIEVE IN JESUS FOR SALVATION, He said it Himself! Who are you going to believe , a person? or the Father and the Son? Choose wisely!
John 6: 43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
Jack Landwehr
I'm very glad your in, and your right, confession is such a relief.
Thanks Anna, for sharing your faith journey with others!
Thanks for sharing your story. Godbless.
@hansikelo how do you know they can't hear you if they are with god? do you think god cannot make them hear you?
Thank you for sharing your story Anna, just wait for things to get even better now :-)
Thank you for your testimony.
@obyndjd503 They do what? I've made several posts here and I can't see what you're responding to. Also do you have any evidence of this? Simply claiming it is not really going to convince anyone.
Regardless, the question is do they do it according to or against Church teaching?
thank you for your story..beautiful!
Wonderful video!
Godbless you always sister Anna. We all love you! Will pray for youth like you always.
@VadimCool Next, “on the word we feed by the word survive and are saved”, can you answer me where you got the table of contents of what was to be the word (scripture)? It was from this Church you said has done little to teach of Jesus. This Church also persevered this word through the ages until the printing press came along so how many years was that compared to how long the printing press has helped to do this?
Hi Anna, I love your courage. "Be not afraid" for you are not stupid and most importantly is that Jesus loves you very much. Let not people put you down as you give glory to God and be the witness to all of us who are weak.
God bless you sister. Welcome home :)
Love it !!!
Welcome home Anna! 🙌🏽🙏🏼👏🏼
Her prayer to God to show her the church and the truth struck me because it is the exact same prayer that I have prayed in the past and continue to pray. It's a matter of, "God I trust you because you are the Source of Truth and I trust You to answer."
Willful ignorance is a choice. This amazing young lady chose to seek the truth. She took a chance but not blindly. She tested the false rumors and got explanations that were based on the bible and logic. As long as she stays on the right path, she will be saved.
Please do a longer version!
I will SHARE your powerful testimony with many soon. But what about to be updated?
Saba K.
@shronemor Here's a question for you, is Mary a way to enter Heaven?
The distracting camera work sabotages the video. This testimony is worth recording again. I would suggest setting the camera up, focused on the eyes, and letting it run. Then do your editing as needed.
NICE! Welcome home!!!
God bless you Anna!
I'm so happy for you Anna, God bless you!
Thank you and blessings 🌹
Great testimony
What a sweet story! God Bless you!
God Bless you on your faith journey.
@hansikelo do you know exactly (in detail) what their prayers are, and the full context of their prayers? anyway, we pray to the saints because we believe they are with god; so whatever the prayers are we actually indirectly pray to god, and god knows all our prayers doesn't he? and he knows the reason we pray to the saints is because we know they are his best friends who are always with him...so praying to the saints actually we glorify god IN them.
I LOVE WHAT YOU SAID, "... I felt very very drawn to the Mass. I felt very peaceful there. I love that it was the same every time, it was the same every where..." !!!
God bless you, your loved ones, your parish and your community, sis. Anne!
Joseph theVagabond,
Que emocion es ver cómo se convierte mucha gente ... Bienvenidos .... Amén
Beautiful!!
how has no one mentioned the angel thing at 4:03
great video
@Anna - how are you doing?
Also, where does the Bible come from?
I wonder how Anna is doing now...
God bless you, Anna. You are in my prayer. Mike Burgess.
I was a lapsed Catholic from age 20 on. I just didn't have a relationship with God. I had completed my 9 First Fridays with Mass and Communion when I was 9 years old. One of the 12 promises of Christ for completing the 9 First Fridays is that you will not die estranged from God. I did not even know about the 12 Promises when I was 9 yrs. old. From age 40 on I kept having Visions and Messages regarding the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The last messages I received were distinctly..."the Sacred Heart of Jesus", so I looked up the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the internet and it is integral to the 9 First Fridays. Christ brought me back to God and my Catholic faith.
SAVED BY GRACE --- OR SAVED BY FAITH
We are either chosen and saved by grace, or at our pleasure
by an inner goodness we produced the faith needed to be saved.
So, make up your mind, which is it?
Where does the Bible come from?
If you were stuck on a deserted island with no communication with civilization, I feel than having a friend named Jesus is the most important thing
Good for you> may God bless, light in Jesus.
It was a great gift I was given .. I never expected an instanenous friendship with my dad., Though I believe the seeds of forgiveness were planted . My mothers abuse continued though and I moved on with a talent and a reason . My mother and I would always talk about The Lord and my dad didn't like it seemingly . My mother told me once she went to Cofession at a place of an Indian massacre of priest in NY .. and the voice she heard changed .. and she heard " I am Jesus "
Great to watch on youtube.
Journey Home - Former Baptist - Marcus Grodi with Fr. Brad Sweet - 04-18-2011
@VadimCool You are right it is all so crystal clear! Yet people don't get it and so they need to see it and feel it in order to get it, but from a lack of faith or their own biased they miss the truth. God Bless and may your journey be one of Joy.
Amazing!!
Being a former Catholic my issue was that it's not just Christ working through believers alone it's Jesus + XYZ. It's a mix of biblical truths and what people of the church have injected in over the centuries. also the scriptures make it very clear that only the Trinity can hear and answer prayers not assumed saints based on works. In Luke 1:47 Mary says "And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour" so even she needed salvation and though blessed does not have the triune power to answer prayer
I was brought up Catholic. When I was 7 my dad told me I couldn't talk to God until I went to confirmation he told me God won't listen to me and said many things he made me feel real bad I can remember this. And I said in a low voice God does here my prayers. At 7 years old God audibly said follow me And I will always hear you. I fellowship with Jesus. I talk to him He talks to me. God hates religion. Please read your bibles. I love Catholics I don't agree with there doctrine. But if a religion helps you to be closer to God than that is good.
A story was told she said .. He spoke of my father , me and my sisters . . About the problems of my father , about me . and I'd be the first of the children to return . , For years I went through terrible times but I'd hear something inside . I felt compelled . I felt understanding . I would still fall though ,my mother died 5 years ago in the house I built her and my dad . My dad would call me and ask me to help her to eat "Cancer " .. seemingly I was the only one to make it happen
@VadimCool So, if God thought it was important for humans to have traditions and rituals to worship him why do you think you cannot seek God in these same rituals and traditions. The sacredness of life is a tradition of the CC is this not important or a way to seek God as we try to protect the weakest among us? Feeding the poor (which the CC does all over the world) is not important and a way to seek God in the poorest among us?
