Look forward to hearing this. I remember a Baptist Pastor saying to me that Catholics don't read the bible. So I asked him if he'd ever been to a Catholic Mass and he said no lol. Your ministry has been a real blessing. God bless you 🙏 🕊
Natalie Howell Yes, they do said we don’t read the Bible but I said you read the bible without understanding, and can’t even remember once they read it. I’d rather hear it from the priest. God bless you
Redeemed Sinner “Ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ” - St. Jerome As a faithful Catholic Christian myself and self-proclaimed apologist and spiritual director, I read the scriptures for myself all the time. I enjoy the homilies at Mass as well, but the point is, yes we read the Bible for ourselves and study it, however, remember Acts 8:31 where a eunuch asks for help reading and understanding the Scriptures from Philip. We need the Church to guide us. Back in the early Church times, people didn’t have access to all the scriptures. Some people only had a letter or two from Saint Paul, and maybe one gospel, and people couldn’t even read, so it’s the priests and the bishops who would teach the faithful through their words and preaching. Thankfully today we can all read the scriptures for ourselves, but we still have the Church and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, etc. as a guide for us to understand what we are reading as in Acts 8:31. I love you and God loves you so much more🙏🏼
@Redeemed Sinner So, if you have a legal dispute, do you read the statutes for yourself and interpret them, or do you go to a lawyer for expert advice?
Thank you Keith for this video! As a cradle Catholic I have grown in my faith tremendously hearing your conversion story and watching your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your faith with all of us and please keep making those videos!!! ❤
I'm catholic, 49 y.o. man, for the first decade of the 2000s I worked in a place where the manager had hired all the kids from his evangelical free church. I had to put up with a lot of hateful things said to me when they found out I was catholic (long before this crowd started working I was already in a habit of barely talking and never about religion, it's the best way to survive in a toxic workplace). In 2004, halfway through these years surrounded by these ppl, my brother committed sui***e. I was quiet all week, I did not talk to anyone for a week. When they found out, my boss and the bookkeeper cornered me shaking their fingers in my face, talking about sui***e and my brother. They were telling me only the catholic church teaches that sui***e is a sin, and not to listen to that crap I was raised with. I wanted to crawl in a hole, I don't know how people could be so insensitive, but it was all about scoring points again bashing Catholics and the church, who cares if I'm crying all week inside missing my brother. Never let a tragedy go to waste, they were using the same playbook as Leftists, but I doubt they realized this. One of these people who was a teenage girl at work, ran me down at the grocery store (I was trying to avoid being seen) this month 20 years after working there. She talked to me for more than half hour. She asked what I had in pen written on my hand. After we talked, I told her, I thought you hated me, the rest of the crew too hated me too, because you found out what church I go to. Ephesians chapter 5 , and Corinthians chapter 6 is what I had written on my hand, that's what was in my heart from the day I was born, and would not waiver and give into temptations, is clearly written in the bible. May not be popular in this day and age, but I can go back and read the inspired word of God and know I've been on the right path all along. I don't need to go out and put up Wilt Chamberlain numbers (off the basketball court), and then get "born-again". That always seemed disingenuous to me, as everyone I've ever talked to knew exactly what they were doing, referring to the first half of their lives, and had no regrets about it. In certain times at work when the right people were around, many Christians would tell hedonistic **x stories from their past (clearly no regret in what they are saying), before they supposedly became saved. To me this has always been an indicator of what kind of person I'm dealing with, and I care less about what church they attend. I've been told by a variety of people something similar, one put it in specific terms, that you wouldn't find 80 people out of a stadium of 80,000 people living according to God's law as described in Corinthians 6 or Ephesians 5. That's not less than 1 % , that's less than .1 % . Maybe before I'm dead our society will change for the better.......regardless of what church they go to. One can hope. But I think it was Red that said to Andy, hope is a dangerous thing in a place like this. Maybe that's why a person gets told they were born 100 years too late, just for trying to live by God's standards, but His standards are the best I've read
Keith just like to let you know your conversion story is the reason why i go back to my catholic faith.thank you so much.keep doing your video.don't mind them please
We catholics must help ourself ,to strengthen our faith if we love our faith/Lord Jesus Christ we must help ourself,we must not blame our church or priest...
Growing up my dad would say “if people are busy pointing out what wrong with you, it’s only to hide their flaws!” I’m a born again cradle Catholic because of your video “It’s a bad idea to leave the Catholic Church!” Your video spoke to my soul and I’m so grateful! I am now praying the Rosary daily (once with you and your beautiful wife at 5 am🥱) I’m also doing research on my faith! If I would say anything to anyone putting down the Catholic Church it would be “yes you probably do know the Bible better than I but you need to know your history on the Christian faith.” If they are true to themselves they will see it leads right to the Catholic Church! Keep doing videos please! Blessings to you and your family!
I needed this vent because I’m a new catholic and been going through this with people close to me and I’ve been so confused as to what everyone’s problem is lol
Most peoples problem is with all the ruined lives left in the wake of the catholic church. 325,000 raped and molested kids in france from 1950 til 2020. thats just in frnce, and the number is growing.
Fr. Chris Alar has great info and many others, too! I get hassled and then frustrated also and I taught in Catholic schools for over 20 years. I pray for them and give my worries to Jesus! Plus, I ask for the Holy Spirit to please intervene! 🤗
All of us get tired of it. Oh well nothing new. Catholics have always been attacked and Christians too in general since time of Jesus. People just attack what they don’t understand. May God bless you!
Love your Chanel! My daughter was raised Catholic. When she went to college all her friends she met were not Catholic and talked very mean about Catholics. She had never experienced this before. She became afraid to say she was Catholic and started attending many different churches with her friends. Many times in the sermons they would say disparaging things about Catholics. She was upset and feeling like this all must be true. Anyway, thank goodness she has come full circle and is embracing being Catholic, but she wishes she new what to say when attacked. The last thing she told me was her friend told her it’s a satanic cult and her preacher told her that!! Good grief!! Shes 22 and I’m glad she has at least found one friend to go to Mass with! I told her never ever in my 56 years have I ever heard a priest in Mass say anything negative about another denomination. It’s crazy!!!
I’ve been to a few dozen churches over multiple states in fifty years. I’ve never heard ANYBODY speak against Catholic doctrine in the pulpit. Where on earth was this kid hearing anti-Catholic stuff in a sermon?
Were these "fair weather Christians", part of Ian paisley's church. All the years I went to Catholic mass, I heard no proddy bashing. But they foam at the mouth bashing Catholics.
That's because Catholics know that the child rch srrvice is not the place to bash fellow Christians or express personal opinions. I am so glad your daughter came back home.
Been raised Protestant all my life and never heard any churches I''ve been to disparage Catholics. If anything, they didn't talk about them. I've been to quite a few churches too.
So true! I just had my old Baptist so called friend say to me “Isabelle RozyckiBaptism and confirmation don’t get you to heaven. I’m being truthful. Sometimes we need to warn the people we love” I am so fed up with her saying these things to me. (I’m Catholic)
@oneconcerned You got to be kidding with your nonsense. The word Latin does not mean mysterious To begin with. Looking it up to humor you it says language of ancient Rome. From your definition you lead onto the whore of Babylon as the explanation for the church Jesus started. I'm not interested at all in your opinion . I could say the same about your heretical protestant church. Enjoy your protestant church with your gospel of wealth and special guest stars.
Hi Keith! I really admire the love you show for our Catholic faith. As a cradle Catholic, like many of us, I knew very little about my faith. I began attending protestant services about 6 years ago and the more I listened to their interpretation of the Bible I began to question their preaching. That's when I began to read and listen to Catholic programs and Protestant conversion stories, such as Scott Hann's story and other's. I have learned so much about my faith that the more I read the more I fall in love with Catholicism. If Protestants would only put their pride and arrogance aside and read these conversion stories and do their own research, they would know the truth. Let's all pray for them, that our Lord open their hearts and minds and use us Catholics as tools for their conversion. Always setting a good example of sanctity in our lives. God bless you Keith and keep up the good work!! I always pray for you and your family!
To be deep into history is to cease to be protestant. Many protestant pigeons hole themselves to the Bible alone and not study the church fathers. It was the Catholic Church 400 years after Christ through St Jerome and councils that determined the Canons of Scripture. It was a tradition that guided the early church and by those writings looked Catholic.
Thank you for making this video. I used to grow so angry with certain anti-Catholics and want to educate them. I realized all they wanted to to do was argue. They have their views and nothing is going to change their minds. Now, I just ignore them and pray for them.
Marcia, I was taught in speech class that a hostile audience will listen to a speaker better than an indifferent audience. Something to think about when talking to Protestants.
@@janedoe2074 Christianity as a whole is under attack throughout the world. The secular atheists and radical Islamists and Communists don't draw any distinctions between Protestants and Catholics - we're all infidels or deluded fools to them. We need to put up a united front against all the anti-God and anti-Christian forces in the world and instead people still want to fight the battles of 500 years ago. Satan must really enjoy that.
@@dm-gq5uj You have a good point. And I take it to heart. I have many good protestant friends. Honestly, though, the Church is standing tall and offers access. And it is not us Catholics who usually pick the fights. Protestant are known for their divisiveness. 20.000 denominations...? And they all keep themselves and others from getting the sacraments, which they need as much as anybody. Jesus IS the sacraments. Can't get closer to Him than that. And if we want to give witness to the Seculars and Islamists, if they put us on the stake, we will pretty much need Jesus. God bless you - and especially our Protestant brethren! JP
Totally with you on this, Keith! I understand your frustration really well. My best friend who is a Protestant. He tried to introduce me to develop a personal relationship with Jesus and persuade me to read the Bible (so that I would eventually leave Catholocism). Little did he know that I know my faith well. He then asked me to speak with his father who as a Protestabt Pastor, but an Ex-Catholic who abounded Catholicism when he was around age 30 & left home after breaking all idols at his home. I am now talking to his father to try to show him and his family the fullness of the truth. Please keep them in your prayers. My friend though is very reluctant to read any books i give. For example (Fathers Know Best by Jimmy Akin). He says why should he read what my 1st generation Catholics belived when what aposteles and Jesus practised is already mentioned in the Bible. Luckily, his father is willing to read books. So i have now send over many good books to ready including your book (1st year in the church). God bless!
@@norazanmie8073 his Father yes, he is learning Catholicism day by day. It will take time (perhaps 3-4 years even). And he will only speak to his family after he fully finishes studying (because he himself needs to be able to answer each & every objection the family members have).
@@justinpurackal715 Haha I for sure wasn't expecting a quick answer. That's really good to see that he has an open mind. I will pray for him and also for all of us who are seeking the truth to find it. May the peace of the Lord be with you^^
@@Wilkins325 having a personal relationship with the Lord & reading scripture intently is a great thing. What is bad though is coming up with one's own personal interpretations (instead of studying history & reading the writings of the Early Church Fathers to understand how they interpreted Scripture). Afterall they were the first Christians. Also visiting the Catacombs of Rome which are Archaeological evidences of how the First Christians secretly worshipped fearing persecution of evil Roman Emperors. Anyone who does these will realize that the first Christians & all Authors of the Bible were indeed Catholic in their belief. Oops!
God bless you and your ministry, brother!!! You profess EVERYTHING on my heart exactly how I would profess our one true Catholic and Apostolic church if I could!!! You have been truly given a special grace and spiritual gift!!! Keep fighting the good fight. Please pray for me, as I lack the charism that you have, but know I am called to something greater for God’s honor and glory. Again, thank you so very much for your ministry bringing lost souls to the fullness of Truth.
Keith, your irritation was balm to my soul. I've heard those things flung at Catholics so often that they really get on my nerves too, and its a comfort to know other people get annoyed by them as well LOL. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and I love your book. Keep going and growing.
Thanks for this video! I was baptized catholic as a baby, but in our family things like going to church or praying before eating simply didn't exist. I grew to be an agnostic, but came back to Christ about two years ago. I was struggling to accept catholicism then, but I got to know a couple of catholics who could really explain it to me. Now I'm still learning a lot but I'm not leaving this faith anymore. Glad I found this channel!
@Sabrina Wojcik Sabrina, We are glad you are back! As you know, "faith comes through reason". So keep on learning about our faith. God will need your knowledge one day for the benefit of others. God bless.
As a Protestant seeking to love my Catholic brothers and sisters in Christ well, this was great to watch. Bad arguments kill fruitful dialogue, and I agree it’s time to retire these. We can have genuine disagreement and not stoop to demonstrably bad arguments.
I recently saw one of your videos on your first visit to a Latin mass. I loved it, very respectful and honest. You and Keith should invite each other on your channels. Im a cradle catholic, turned evangelical, turned traditional catholic, so I could totally get your take on your first visit to a TLM. I hope you will go again but with someone explaining the mass, as you had mentioned.
They aren’t. Catholicism is definitely a lying pagan cult that was established by the same Roman Empire who crucified Jesus. Jesus commanded us to follow Him and He did not command us to follow some man made religion. Now since Passover and Easter are drawing near, I will expose the false preachers and religions who wickedly promote and believe that Jesus was crucified on a Friday and if you are believing this Good Friday lie then you also know very little about God and scripture. These lies occur since many lack knowledge of scripture and they are not comprehending the important and explicit clues that John related in his gospel in regard to the Crucifixion and the Sabbath. This ignorance of truth certainly applies to the pagan cult known as Catholicism since they are one of the many false religions that claim that Jesus was crucified on a Friday. Realize that the first day of Passover was considered a Sabbath day to the children of Israel since it was a day of holy convocation and no manner of work was to be done, so it was basically no different than the weekly Sabbath that God commanded the children of Israel to observe every Friday evening. You then need to understand that in a particular year when the Passover Sabbath would begin on a Thursday evening, this was then considered a high day Sabbath or a special Sabbath to the children of Israel since they would now have to recognize two Sabbath days back to back. “‘Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.” Leviticus 23:3 NKJV Now to prove how the special feasts of God were to be treated no differently then the regular Sabbath and that no work was to be done, all we need to do is read what was related in Leviticus 23. Take notice that in the Leviticus 23:23-25 scriptures below, it clearly relates that a holy convocation also included a sabbath rest. ”Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a SABBATH-REST, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.’ ” Leviticus 23:23-25 NKJV “‘These are the feasts of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times. On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the Lord’s Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord; seven days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it. But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord for seven days. The seventh day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it.’ ” Leviticus 23:4-8 NKJV Now God commanded the Israelites to keep His Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight and the first month of the year on God’s religious calendar is called Nisan or Abib and it begins in the spring and not in the winter as our current new year does. So because scripture relates that Jesus celebrated Passover at His Last Supper with His disciples many are falsely assuming that Jesus was crucified on Nisan 15 and not on Nisan 14 and that His Last Supper had to occur on a Thursday night since He was crucified on the day of Preparation. Now before I go on, I need you to understand that God commanded the Israelites to always celebrate His Passover but there was actually a period when the children of Israel stopped keeping God’s Passover. (See 2 Kings 23:21-23.) Since the tribes of Israel had stopped keeping the Passover you can read where King Hezekiah and Josiah reinstated the Passover celebration in 2 Chronicles 30 and 35. They now chose to have the people celebrate God’s Passover at the second temple instead of at their homes since they wanted to make sure that the Israelites would stay loyal to God and His commands. So even though they reinstated the Passover celebration they actually were ignoring God’s command since they now started a tradition where many would celebrate God’s Passover at their homes on the beginning of Nisan 14 and then at the second temple in Jerusalem at the end of Nisan 14. So because the gospels are relating that Jesus was buried on Preparation day, many false preachers and religions are ignorantly assuming that this meant that the crucifixion had to occur on a Friday, since this is the day that the Jewish people would normally begin their preparation for the weekly Sabbath that began every Friday evening. Further below I will definitely prove where their ignorance of scripture has led false preachers and religions astray but first I want you to understand that the Jewish calendar months are completely different then the Gregorian calendar that we currently use, and that the Jewish day actually ends once it becomes dark and not at midnight as our world is accustomed to. So in order to start proving why the crucifixion did not occur on a Friday I will begin by revealing how the gospel of John related some very important information that many deceived believers are not comprehending. First, take notice where John related in 13:1-3 that Jesus celebrated His Last Supper before the Feast of Passover and then understand that John was referencing the Passover celebration that would occur at the temple at twilight on Nisan 14. “NOW BEFORE THE FEAST OF PASSOVER, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,” John 13:1-3 NKJV Next, I will reveal a couple of scripture verses where John related that when Jesus was crucified it occurred during a year where the Passover Sabbath was going to occur the day before the weekly Sabbath. This would mean that you would have two Sabbath days occurring back to back and since you now had a special Sabbath occurring on Thursday evening this then meant that no work could be done on either Friday or Saturday. So since the Jewish people could do no work once their Friday began (our Thursday at nightfall), this then meant that the day of Preparation would now fall on a Thursday instead of its normal Friday. Once again, take note that when you had a Feast Day Sabbath occurring the day before the weekly Sabbath this was then called a special Sabbath or a HIGH DAY Sabbath by the Jewish people. ”Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (FOR THAT SABBATH WAS A HIGH DAY), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.” John 19:31 NKJV ”Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.” John 18:28 NKJV So notice how John 19:31 related that the Sabbath that was going to occur later that evening was a HIGH DAY SABBATH. This meant that it had to be the Passover Sabbath and not the weekly Sabbath as many false preachers and religions are wrongly teaching. This is also why John 18:28 is relating how the Pharisees did not want to defile themselves on the day that Jesus was crucified since they were desiring to partake in the Passover meal that would occur at the end of that day at the temple. So since John clearly related in scripture that Jesus was crucified on the day of Preparation and he stated that this was the day before a HIGH DAY SABBATH Sabbath then the crucifixion definitely had to occur on a Thursday, otherwise God and scripture would be lying to us. Lastly, in order to fulfill what Jesus related in the Matthew 12 scripture where He stated that He would spend three days and three nights in the heart of the earth here is a time recap of the Last Supper, the Crucifixion and His Resurrection and a complete breakdown of the three days and the three nights that Jesus spent in the heart of the earth. On Wednesday night as Nisan 14 begins this is when Jesus had His Last Supper with His Disciples. Then on Thursday morning which was still Nisan 14 Jesus is crucified at 9 in the morning and He dies on the cross at 3 in the afternoon. Jesus is then buried just before sundown on Thursday evening before the Passover Sabbath celebration begins. Jesus then of course rises from the grave early Sunday morning which is now Nisan 17. Thursday Night #1 - Passover Sabbath Begins Friday Day #1 - Passover Sabbath Ends At Sundown Friday Night #2 - Weekly Sabbath Begins Saturday Day #2 - Weekly Sabbath Ends At Sundown Saturday Night #3 Sunday Day #3 - Jesus Is Resurrected “For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” Matthew 12:40 NKJV So Jesus died on the cross on Thursday Nisan 14 at 3 in the afternoon which was around the time that they began slaughtering the lambs that were needed to celebrate the Passover at the temple and this is why Jesus was known as the Lamb of God who was sacrificed for our sins.
To be Catholic is to emulate our LORD. HE told us we would be despised, buffeted, spat upon; offer it all up to LORD in reparation for all the insults to HIS Sacred Heart.
I can't thank you enough for this video! I'm a cradle Catholic trying to learn more about my faith. I'm older and wiser and didn't understand so much of it in my youth, I just trusted my parents and extended family in living out the faith. I have a good friend who is a fallen away Catholic who likes to challenge me occasionally and this helps me defend my faith so much better. Keep making these great videos Keith because you are educating so many of us who want to better defend and strengthen our faith and religion given to us by Jesus Christ Himself! I'll be watching more of these!
I had very good advice from Dr. David Anders the other day.....stay completely away from internet “conversations” with antiCatholics. Period. I have learned the hard way. The internet has become an occasion of sin for me. Better to serve the Lord in other ways! You have a wonderful ministry. God bless.
I’m a Catholic convert ( 3.31.18 ) and I’ve had some of the worst words thrown at me during my Catholic journey / Conversion from PROFESSING Christians than all the other years combined and I’m in my 50’s.
Is been a great learning tool for me...I looked up more scripture in a week that I would in a month. But in the end I won't be drawn into trading verse for verse and I simply reply that I can always read scripture but I leave it's interpretation to the church.
I once bought a $30 out-of-print book to respond to a quote (that was out of context). I posted the next sentence after the quote that clarified...He didn't even reply.
It’s SO funny because the complaints that you articulate in your intro to this video have been said so many times by my wife (who also has a TH-cam channel). She’ll often show me a comment and ask me “did this guy even watch my video-AT ALL???!!!” With respect to the five topics you discussed, you hit the nail on the head as usual. My typical response to them is to say “yeah, that’s one of the tired, 500 year old disproven prot talking points....try something new”. Preach on, brother!
@@heavenlycorzoSolo Fide is flawed. The devil believes but he isn’t saved. He chooses against God in spite of it. I hear a OnlyFans model say she is Protestant and truly believe but won’t stop selling sex online. Faith alone is doomed to failure. We need Jesus in our hearts and to act on that. To quote the good book “what does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but no works?” And “Faith without works is Dead”. James 2:14-26
I just love this THANK GOODNESS FINALLY SOMEONE TACKLED THIS 🥰 I have been explaining these things to my friends since i was 14 or 15 years old thank you so much 🙆🏻♀ you have a great rest of the week Keith
Protestants like to be entertained at church , so they look for a preacher that puts on a show they enjoy and makes them feel good.It like listening to music you like.
@@ceedee7779 Who? Most non-Catholics, that's who. That's why we get accused of "worshipping" Saints and the Virgin Mary. Most outside the Catholic Church (including most smaller denominations of Protestants) don't know the difference between worship and veneration. In addition, not only do they not know the difference, they don't want to know it. To know it would take away one of their invalid excuses for maligning Catholics.
Hi Keith yes I agree I hear these things from Protestants very often. I've also been told I'm going to hell and taking my children with me because of my Catholic faith. But I find myself praying for them more often these days no matter how much they insult and hurt me. I am Catholic and I read and study the bible regularly. I have an intimate relationship with Christ because I receive HIM in the Eucharist which if understood correctly is the most amazing experience and fills me with so much love and gratitude for God. I'm deeply in love with Christ and honour Our Blessed Mother because Christ honours Her. Been Catholic is not just a religion but it's the way I live my life. And it's the one thing I'm most grateful to God for because the sacraments lead me closer and closer to Christ and helps me fall deeper in love with my adorable Jesus and my fellow man....and ultimately it will lead me to heaven. Thank you for defending Christ's Church. Always do it with love.
Mercia Lortan Turn a deaf ear to anyone who says you are going to Hell. NO ONE can judge except God. Keep the Faith and show the Faith through good fruit. God bless.
You can sleep well at night. Jesus himself was accused by the Pharisees that accused him of being in league with the devil. And Jesus answered "A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand." Check out Mark 3:24.
As a former protestant of nearly 50 years ( from childhood ) and now a Catholic as of 3.31.2018, I've heard, seen, been the victim of so much hate filled words ( mostly online ) from professing Christians which is really sad. I was raised strict PENTECOSTAL and lots of stuff would send you to hell, but I never heard being a Catholic would send you to hell until I begin diving more into the Catholic faith which began in 2016. That didn't sway me from becoming Catholic. You say a lot of great things. If you keep your eyes on Christ and love him like you are saying living your Catholic faith, you can turn a deaf ear to those that condemn you to hell for being Catholic. No human has the authority to pass final judgment. Those condemning Catholics to hell shows their ignorance of the Catholic faith. Yes, we are saved by Grace from God's Mercy through faith in Christ which none of us deserve but as Catholics we believe we have to cooperate with God's Grace. There are a lot of religious nuts online who don't know how to be loving. They simply spew hate filled words in the name of love and try to justify it using select scriptures. Hold your head high, keep loving Jesus and live the Catholic life. Peace be with you.
I had a life long Protestant “ friend” call me when my child graduated from a Catholic online accredit homeschool recently - very tough program - all my “ friend” talked about was how infant baptism is inferior to her baptist baptism because the kid “ chooses”- and how priests ought to be married and how it’s just so much better to worship God wherever you are and you don’t have to go to Mass. okay - thanks for the attack my now ex friend :!! Onward I march .
Hey Keith You're awesome Today is the feast of St. Augustine Doctor of the Church Doctor of Grace Your posting today is perfect timing Most if not all of Non practicing Catholics or others 'protesting' the Bride of Christ are all the same with their arguments. They have too much pride and will never humble themselves in adoration to the One True God and actually confess their sins to Jesus (through the priests) and feel contrition for their sins. They are all their own Popes and rationalize accordingly. We all need to submit and if you don't want to you are in trouble and need true discernment. We need to pray and fast fir all. It's great to be Catholic BUT it's a great responsibility to humble yourself to AUTHORITY which was put there by Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
Exactly! My husband was just thinking about this kind of stuff, then opened up commentary on his Laudate app only to find St. Augustine telling him about it! 🤣 freaked him right out!
Rolando Velásquez like everything else, these quotes are taken out of context. None of them are specifically talking about Mary. You also switched words quoting St. Augustine as saying that Jesus was “born” without sin then you switched it to “conceived”. This is so common for anti-Catholic Protestants... the tactic even has a name - “the Protestant spin”. We all know Jesus was conceived and born without sin... duh! He’s God! Now show me a quote where St. Augustine (after he converted, of course) says specifically that Mary was not born or conceived without sin. Then please read the Protoevangelium of James and tell us that again.
Wesley Simelane well... that just shows that you know NOTHING about the Catholic Church! Go to Mass a few times (or watch it on TH-cam if you are afraid to do it in person) and see just how Christ-centered the Catholic Mass is! It’s ALL about Jesus. Try reading the Catechism some time... you might learn a thing or two. God bless!
You're doing great brother and remember if you weren't doing good, you wouldn't be attacked but since your doing great according to the wil of our Lord Jesus Christ , you will get attacked from all sides and sadly yes even from other Catholics.. Keep up the good fight brother... It's good to vent now and then...
I love how protestants always say "is it in the bible?" If they read only the bible literally then they would think Peter is Satan because Jesus said to Peter, " Get behind me Satan." The Catholic Churches teaches us how to interpret the bible. Love being a Catholic and the Rosary is by far the BEST way to meditate on God and his sacrifices for us.
@@norazanmie8073 It wouldn't be usual to literally interpret that Peter is Satan. Like when Jesus rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me Satan". Yet Catholics take certain other things hyper literally, like eating Jesus flesh and drinking his literal blood. I guess you gotta know when to hold em and know when to fold em.
I was a Protestant for years. I grew up in a Catholic family, though i chose to view the bible and Christ through a Protestant eye . It wasnt until almost a year ago that i began deep research into Catholic theology. On Easter Vigil, i finally became a Catholic. I lost many friends , even a girlfriend. But what i have gained is far more gorgeous then social acceptance could ever offer. For those on the fence , start with Scott Hahns conversion story ( thats hiw i found Keith ) and study the esrly church fathers that Dr. Hahn points towards. Also study the books and videos of Dr. Ed Sri . Then....go....to ....Mass. what you will find ( or rather what will find you ) is beyond ANYTHING you will ever find in any Protestant Church on earth. I can promise you that my siblings in Christ. Protestantism will feed you just enough that you wont get skinny , Catholicism will feed you a full course meal . Its the difference between empty carbs and superfood
I’m very grateful for your videos. I am on my way back home, because I too didn’t pay attention enough at the Mass and then went to a Protestant service and was amazed at how much they focused on the Gospel. I loved your book! It helped me understand my own faith.
I have been Catholic my whole life. I am 37 years old. I am very sure a lot of Catholics leave the church due to ignorance. They do not know their own faith. For my own experience I was a Catholic only by title but once I read a couple of books about the purgatory, exorcisms, and how it is scientifically proven that the body and blood of Christ is in the Eucharist then my faith and curiosity grew. It made me happy to know why I am a Catholic. I recommend you to watch on TH-cam Carlo Acutis, he created a website narrating miracles about the Eucharist around the world. Finally, if you want to go back home once for all please start praying the Rosary 📿. Oh Blessed Mother Virgin Mary pray for us Sinners. Our Blessed Mother is the fastest and easiest way to get closer to Jesus. The four lethal weapons we Catholics have against our battle with the devil are: the Eucharist, the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, the Confession and the Rosary. 🙏😊 I hope you come back home soon.
Ya I'm a little confused because most hard-core evangelicals focus ONLY on the gospel and nothing else! Catholicism is much deeper in my opinion by far
Every mass I attend is like reliving the gospel of Jesus Christ. I see the church as the living gospel an open book which leads you to giving your totality to Christ who dwells in us. We are hidden in God through Christ.
Do you celebrate Christmas Alan? The Nativity, the birth of Our Lord Jesus into the world as a tiny baby? If so that is a CATHOLIC feast day! The giveaway is the name CHRIST---MASS!!!! 😂😂😂
Cradle Catholic here who is now 64 years young. The # 1 thing my protestant friends have said to me many times during my life is Catholics aren't Christians. I am not kidding here. I have been told that by not just one protestant but many throughout my lifetime. The # 2 thing i get told us Catholics don't read the bible.# 3 Is as you said Catholics worship false idols such as Mary and all the other saints. I feel sad for the people who don't even know about the miracles happening across the world to this very day within the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Catholic faith. Apparitions of Mary , Healings which all come from God given to his church and its faithful. If only they would see and hear with open hearts.
They need excuses not to join the True Church. So they invent all these fairy tales and readily believe them "Every grace God gives a non-Catholic He gives for the purpose of converting to the Catholic Church." ----St. Augustine God constantly showers non-Catholics with graces and inspirations to convert (I know, because I was once a Protestant) and non-Catholics have to work long and hard to reject those graces and inspirations.
We get used to it Keith. I have many good Protestant friends, and they always talk proudly about how their church moved their heart, that their church is full of Holy Spirit, and how they do not respect Mother Mary like we do. And I just don't want to argue with them. But one of our Priests cried when he shared the story about how some Protestants disrespected Mother Mary. He just could not understand why they did not honor the mother of our Lord. It's like our friends do not respect our own mother. How do we fell? And this......Disrespect the Mother of God. What a shame
I like the way you preach brother!! Keep up the good "work!" Lol ❤ on a serious note.. I'm very glad I came across your video.. I've seen one of the videos you did many years ago but didn't know it was you the same guy as you look different (hair etc) but I'm glad you are in TH-cam.. thanks so much! God bless. I'm learning a lot.
What I love about you is that you FIRST already have a personal relationship with Jesus BEFORE you converted to the Catholic faith. Keep sharing your experience...
When Protestants ask you about your personal relationship with Jesus, remind them that you can't get much more personal than eating Jesus's Body and drinking His Blood.
@@cynthiax56 Cynthia, Great point! Didn't Jesus also say that nothing will destroy His one Church? ▪︎MATTHEW 16:18 18. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH, and the powers of DEATH SHALL NOT PREVAIL against it. Do they ignore Jesus promise not to abandon His Church? ▪︎MATTHEW 28:20 20. and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, TO THE END OF THE AGE.” And the permanent assistance of the Holy Spirit to guide His one Church to all truth, as clearly expressed in: ▪︎JOHN 16:13 13. When the SPIRIT of TRUTH comes, He WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL THE TRUTH; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. Such eternal promise has been critical for the Catholic Church to be able to speak and ACT with infallible authority: ▪︎ACTS 15: 28 28. ‘It is the decision of the HOLY SPIRIT AND of US not to place on you any burden beyond these necessities, God bless.
Today is 9/11. The American Republic has been hijacked. We witnessed controlled demolition of Tower 7 and the arrest of Mossad agents with foreknowledge. Criminal international banking has hijacked the American Republic and I hear NOTHING from Christians or Pope's on the greatest threat to Christians - a criminal international banking cartel. How can I follow these simple minded people if they can't see what the biggest satanic threat to their faith? It is the same way with the murder of Kennedy. It is only the "shunned" Christians who seem to have any fight in them against the greatest forces of evil.
You go, Keith! I watched your conversion story a few months ago on JH. You and your wife are awesome! I pray for you and yours whenever I can. I think as a cradle Catholic, you and yours are an amazing addition to our Catholic family. I enjoy watching your videos and appreciate my faith even more and am doing my best to know more about it so I can promulgate the faith and stand up for it like you do! Continue to fight the good fight and I pray God may continue to bless your family and provide y’all the Grace’s needed to fulfill your mission!
Keith, I want to thank you and the other converts for sharing your testimony. It has strengthened my faith and is changing the minds of the people in my life around me. Thank you for spreading the word. Praise to God almighty and His only Son, Jesus Christ.
I have felt the exact same way! However, I backed out of these conversations about 2 or 3 weeks ago, and mentally, I feel like I’ve been on a great vacation to a tropical island. Maybe you too need to take a break from these conversations. It is very nice to just follow your beliefs, and not have to justify anything to anyone. God bless
I have consecrated myself to Mary on 22 ND of August, coronation of blessed virgin Mary.i get frustrated and angry when Protestant s mock Mary with their indifference, hatred and contempt and don't acknowledge what she has actually done for us.Mary was the first Tabernacle of the lord.if she said no to God we would be lost in our sin,no redemption. What happens is I stick up for Mary and they renounce her even more and say terrible things about her.you know what it's like when someone says something nasty about your mum, you stick up for her and defend her.imagine how Jesus feels when people are indifferent, contemptible and say hateful things about her.woe to that person!! They say Mary isn't the mother of God!! So all you people out there the woman who carried you in her womb for 9 months, guess what!! She's not your mother!! Ridiculous. He who has not Mary as their mother has not God for their Father however much they boast of it simply because they have not Mary for their mother.Alas God has told Mary not to dwell in them for they are Esau!
I’m just at a loss of mind when Protestants say that the rosary prayer is not biblical,for if they only could look at the prayer and all of the mysteries of each decade they’ll come to realize that it contains the birth,life,bitter passion and death of Jesus Christ and his Glorious Triumph RESURRECTION AND ASCENSION INTO HEAVEN.Yeah Yeah Yeah now isn’t that the INFINITE AND ETERNAL TRUTH!!!!
I’m so so impressed with your video Mr.Nester,I understand what you’re saying and the great frustration you are going through as a Catholic.Wether it’s coming from Protestants or Catholics,I want you to know that you’re not alone in this situation.But I just want you to realize that in all reality that Jesus Christ did not come to make it easy for his people in his Church,for as Jesus revealed that to enter into life is difficult for how narrow and straight is the gate that leads to life and how few there are that find it,so it seems pretty clear that our lord is telling us Catholic’s that there’s going to be many difficulties,hardships,stresses,pains,frustrations and more in our daily situations. I hope that you can understand what I’m saying,trust in our God and Lord Jesus Christ and our Immaculate Mother Mary and I’m sure they’ll help you with your struggles Amen Amen Amen 🙏 May God Bless you and your works with an abundance of his Graces Virtue’s Truth and And His Charity Alleluia 🐑🕊️✨🌈
Just yesterday, a protestant had s long talk with me, and used comment #4 , it's all about Jesus and it doesn't matter what church you attend. But what made this different was that the man taught college history for many years, he had been to Catholic retreats, and even had a fondness for the traditional Latin mass. So it made me think, why couldn't this man see the truth, and all i can come up with this that his blindness comes from not having the grace. So I have it in my mind to pray for him to receive that grace. Keith, you're doing wonderful work for Christ, if you're not doing it already, i suggest a Holy hour each day. I do that ( and my rosary) to help strengthen me. God bless
He was probably divorced and wanted to remarry and live as an adulterer but the Catholic Church wouldn't let him so he jumped ship. You would be surprised how often this is the case with ex-catholics.
Love this I was a cradle Catholic but was very luke warm but in the last 4 years have come back to my faith . Have now discovered the TLM and nothing compares to it. I have 7 brothers and 7 sisters half of which have become protestant. I've shared this to my FB and am hoping those that have turned their back on our Catholic faith will come back to it. I live in hope
This video cracked me up. The one I see all the time and am already weary of (I am not even Catholic yet!) is the verse about "call no one on earth father" in reference to Catholics calling their priest Father. I wish there was a hair-tearing emoji to respond to that one. lol
“If I were not a Catholic, and were looking for the true Church in the world today, I would look for the one Church which did not get along well with the world; in other words, I would look for the Church which the world hates.” Bishop Fulton Sheen
My Catholic faith defines me... I will ask a protestant what they do at their church... read and study the bible...well the Catholic church assembled the books of the bible.
Wrote, Assembled, collated, edited, preserved and published. No.... You didn't write it..... You mean the writers of the scriptures weren't members of the early church? So, you accept ..."Assembled, collated, edited, preserved and published".
@@denominationsdontsaveonlyj8896 I can't speak for Matthew, but you offer a false dichotomy. Christ is the head and the Church is the body, faith in one and not the other is impossible. It is a false faith. It is no faith at all. Why? Because Christ and the Church are one, just as Christ and the Father are one.
Zer0 Day the word church is incorrect, it was added over the word “ called out” so people need to be clear the church isn’t nature dame or St. John’s Baptist church, all building denominational titles have nothing to do with the body of Christ. The word “ Charity “ was added over Love, both of these words were modified amongst others to send believers in a building to contain the people for money and keeping them in fear and the priest richer. You don’t need to go far and get the catholic catechism book and in there you will read how the Sabbath was changed from Saturday to Sunday. The solution is simple, if you want to be part of the body of Christ you need to keep the commandments of God, that is the right commandments and the testimony of a Jesus Christ, read a John 15, if you don’t produce good fruits you are cast into the fire. Nowhere will you find in scripture in you are a catholic or a jw you are saved. Jesus upgraded God commandments keep that in mind but here is something you need to ask yourself, do you know the proper commandments of the top of your head? If not you haven’t even started the faith yet.
Amen brother .As a catholic who became a protestant and came back to the Catholic church. Amen and amen Lord Jesus Christ son of God have mercy on me a sinner and grant me the graces of your holy cross and Resurrection for you have redeemed the world
As a Catholic, I wonder whether the issue is whether Catholics know what is the right answer to these questions. Many Catholics are like the seeds that fall on thorns and are choked by these false teachers even though these false Protestant teachings are tired.
@PattiBowenSolutions i commented this with sadness instead of judging them from moral high ground. Its derived from many encounters from ex Catholics who attacked Catholics teachings, adopting the same accusations as the Protestants like Marian worshippers, idol worshippers from the Roman temple etc. These ex Catholics would claim that they have been in the church for 30 / 40 years but not been given bible lessons, seen fake priests and are spiritually dead. Now they are filled with the Holy Spirit and are inviting blinded Catholics to join them and leave the false religion Emperor Constantine founded. I can carry on. There are more. Wafer worshippers. Follwers of the whore of Babylon. These are common comments left in Catholics TH-cam vids. So do you still feel that I am judging them ? Are they not seeds that are choked by thorny false teachers ?
I think Patti initially misunderstood your first sentence, Jeremiah, as did I. It comes across as a challenge from a Protestant who thinks that neither Keith, nor any other Catholic, knows the true, Protestant answers to the five "questions" that Keith raises. But what you're actually saying is that it's important for all Catholics to know the right answers to these questions. In other words, there's no disagreement here.
@@jimnewl Ha ! Ha ! I reread my post and it sure give an impression as though some heretics wrote a tirade against the Catholic Church ! My deepest apologies for misleading. ! Thank you for pointing this out !
@PattiBowenSolutions Thank you for your reply ! I have amended my post so that not so misleading. I am not a Sedevacantist. As a convert to the Catholic faith, I must say I am utterly disappointed at Vatican and the current /past 2 Popes for doing nothing to build the faith level of Catholics. In a biz, if the CEO and management had lost so many customers, they will be fired. The dismal PEW research on Mass attendance and belief in the Eucharist are testimony of the poor job the shephards are doing. Not to even mention shooting themselves in the feet by failing to prevent the sex abuse.
I'm a protestant. It's not about the church you go to because it is about Jesus Christ and His atonement for our sins. Therefore, I don't care if you're Catholic or protestant. I get together with my Catholic friends and pray together. I can go to Mass just as easily as I go to my church. I'm so sick of the animosity. It's possible to disagree on things, but still respect each other and get along together.
Understand your frustration Keith. I believe we have become so prideful that we are no longer able to know when to speak up and when to keep silent. I pray every day that the Lord will remove the pride in our hearts and replace it with humility. Jesus come into our hearts! Make our hearts like yours! ❤🙏🏼
Well done my guy! You had the balls to come out and say these truths! I’ve felt like this for so long but I’m not good at arguing my Catholic faith with Protestants especially my older brother who talks to me like this “ hey bro I just want to tell you the spirit is telling me that you have this spirit of religion on you that needs to broken” oh man how annoying that is when he tells me this bogus.
Yes, those are some very tired-out hollow things protestants do indeed say. Thanks for defending the Faith, Keith Nester, you have good energy and conciseness. subbed. Blessings.
Keith, Your videos have been very inspirational and instrumental in my renewed and reinvigorated walk with Jesus and His Church; more than you know. And I know I'm not the only one. Thanks for the all the work that you do (and in the end, that's what's most important) If people choose to judge or attack us for our faith, well that's on them. Like you said, Only God knows what's in our hearts and theirs. And His is the only opinion that really matters 👍
Im a prorestant and i went to Catholic Mass today. I definitely heard the Gospel. Ive been going more and more and may even leave my current church. And I even was a pastor at one time.
i m a fprmer [rotestant myself, now, thankfully, a catholic, and I'm going to say this:....Protestantism does not come from Jesus and the sole reason why it exists is to attack and oppose the catholic church. Frankly, I'm turned off by their constant accusations and bad behaviour, this despite the fact that they are following martin luther.
Thank you, for your words and your fire - funny story - when I met my cradle cath wife 30 yrs ago - I took her to " my" lutheran church - the one I grew up in on get this -"Reformation Sunday" - dumb me- must have been very difficult for her at the time - still brings it up occasionally and we laugh at it - but we did get married - at a cath mass thank God (sacramentally) - and I eventually converted by God's grace - I'm quite sure she knew I did not fully understand the religious significance at the time!!
It’s good to hear and see you again, Keith! Thanks for this, now I don’t have to make the video myself! I don’t remember hearing #5 before, but #4 through #1 I’ve heard ad nauseam. It’s been a while since I’ve heard #1, but I was bludgeoned nearly to death with it during my unintentionally lengthy conversion process (~8 years).
I love how Protestants who have been reading the Bible for 5 months are gonna tell the Catholic Church How things should be. LoL Like me trying to tell Air Jordan how to play basketball. My dads dad had a barbershop in 1930. The local Catholic Bishop use to come get a haircut every other Friday. My granddad use to tell the bishop how to straighten out the church. LoL
"Saved" Protestant has been reading the Bible for three months. Tge Catholic Church has been reading it for 2000 years. But the "saved" Protestant knows more! Oh, by the way, "saved" Protestant Jack disagrees with "saved" Protestant Joe disagrees with "saved" Protestant Fred disagrees with "saved" Protestant Linda disagrees with "saved" Protestant Sharon......
Well, i've just prayed to God he will remove these obsessions from my mind, i'm tired of judging protestants, and i'm tired of paying attention to these horrible arguments they make against us... may God just grant us peace and we may let all this pass, for it's His church after all and not up to us to deal with this... that we may love all whoever they are and think equally and at the end say thanks to Him for moving even if outside the sacraments... some days i'm just thankful for Hillsong and Bethel and a lot of Christian music you know? like, there's no way God isn't moving in these places in a wonderful way, to me it's a mystery, though i would never leave our blessed Catholic Church, Christ is TOO real in the Eucharist for me to go, the sacrament of penance is too real as well, may protestants come to open their eyes to these blessed means of salvation and even if they don't well, may we just not really care and move on and keep on loving them and praying for them. Former protestant here (congregationalist, sorta calvinistic, but sorta ecumenical), now fully Roman Catholic.
Cradle catholic here. Same for me no matter what doubts I have, the Eucharist always convince me that I'm at the right place. I saw our Lord one day during the procession of the Holy Sacrament. The priest wasn't there anymore it was Him standing in front of me instead. He's so real! He is Love and Peace. Just for that I will never leave my Church!
As a convert from atheism to Catholicism I also love Gospel music too, one of my favorites is the young 26yr old singer DOE. My favorite song of hers is "When I pray" 🙏
Keith you're doing a great job Keep up the great work. A priest once told me in confession. That The best Catholics are the converts. And truly believe that.
I found that saying the holy rosary every day has helped a lot and also the divine mercy chapel eve God loves ever say say the Rosary everyday these prayers are great and divine mercy Chapel
I find that talking directly to God has proved His existence in Miracles, people coming to Christ, relationships being restored, and all of that without the Roman Catholic Church. How can that be? Catholics wake up to Jesus Christ not Mary or the pope.
Thank you brother for telling the ignorant of the facts of our religion and history. But know the thing are said in the hate of the fools that repeat them and although they are annoying but for those whom love Christ simply point out the history and facts as you have. For those who have studied the faith truly know the incredibly AWESOME love and graces the Almighty have given us. Be the person of faith God would wish us all to be and be calm. The Almighty is with us always. Be not afraid.
Hi Keith, my name is Chuck. I think I just found your video collection and I’m enjoying it. My experience is similar to yours almost 40 years in the foursquare church coming away with a love for truth and a love for scripture❤️💕 basically still a good story, then brutally interrupted by Catholic radio ministry called Catholic Answers. and I didn’t really think Catholic had any answers just problems but this show radically changed my life for Jesus that I’ve known for 40 years and now I’ve gotten closer to the actual historical Jesus. Thanks for your videos I’m gonna collect them.

Look forward to hearing this. I remember a Baptist Pastor saying to me that Catholics don't read the bible. So I asked him if he'd ever been to a Catholic Mass and he said no lol. Your ministry has been a real blessing. God bless you 🙏 🕊
Natalie Howell Yes, they do said we don’t read the Bible but I said you read the bible without understanding, and can’t even remember once they read it. I’d rather hear it from the priest. God bless you
Redeemed Sinner “Ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ” - St. Jerome
As a faithful Catholic Christian myself and self-proclaimed apologist and spiritual director, I read the scriptures for myself all the time. I enjoy the homilies at Mass as well, but the point is, yes we read the Bible for ourselves and study it, however, remember Acts 8:31 where a eunuch asks for help reading and understanding the Scriptures from Philip. We need the Church to guide us. Back in the early Church times, people didn’t have access to all the scriptures. Some people only had a letter or two from Saint Paul, and maybe one gospel, and people couldn’t even read, so it’s the priests and the bishops who would teach the faithful through their words and preaching. Thankfully today we can all read the scriptures for ourselves, but we still have the Church and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, etc. as a guide for us to understand what we are reading as in Acts 8:31. I love you and God loves you so much more🙏🏼
@Redeemed Sinner So, if you have a legal dispute, do you read the statutes for yourself and interpret them, or do you go to a lawyer for expert advice?
Redeemed Sinner “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” But I know you’re not without sin 😜
@Redeemed Sinner Um, Redeemed Sinner, Jesus is a Catholic priest Himself.
Thank you Keith for this video! As a cradle Catholic I have grown in my faith tremendously hearing your conversion story and watching your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your faith with all of us and please keep making those videos!!! ❤
I'm catholic, 49 y.o. man, for the first decade of the 2000s I worked in a place where the manager had hired all the kids from his evangelical free church. I had to put up with a lot of hateful things said to me when they found out I was catholic (long before this crowd started working I was already in a habit of barely talking and never about religion, it's the best way to survive in a toxic workplace). In 2004, halfway through these years surrounded by these ppl, my brother committed sui***e. I was quiet all week, I did not talk to anyone for a week. When they found out, my boss and the bookkeeper cornered me shaking their fingers in my face, talking about sui***e and my brother. They were telling me only the catholic church teaches that sui***e is a sin, and not to listen to that crap I was raised with. I wanted to crawl in a hole, I don't know how people could be so insensitive, but it was all about scoring points again bashing Catholics and the church, who cares if I'm crying all week inside missing my brother. Never let a tragedy go to waste, they were using the same playbook as Leftists, but I doubt they realized this. One of these people who was a teenage girl at work, ran me down at the grocery store (I was trying to avoid being seen) this month 20 years after working there. She talked to me for more than half hour. She asked what I had in pen written on my hand. After we talked, I told her, I thought you hated me, the rest of the crew too hated me too, because you found out what church I go to. Ephesians chapter 5 , and Corinthians chapter 6 is what I had written on my hand, that's what was in my heart from the day I was born, and would not waiver and give into temptations, is clearly written in the bible. May not be popular in this day and age, but I can go back and read the inspired word of God and know I've been on the right path all along. I don't need to go out and put up Wilt Chamberlain numbers (off the basketball court), and then get "born-again". That always seemed disingenuous to me, as everyone I've ever talked to knew exactly what they were doing, referring to the first half of their lives, and had no regrets about it. In certain times at work when the right people were around, many Christians would tell hedonistic **x stories from their past (clearly no regret in what they are saying), before they supposedly became saved. To me this has always been an indicator of what kind of person I'm dealing with, and I care less about what church they attend. I've been told by a variety of people something similar, one put it in specific terms, that you wouldn't find 80 people out of a stadium of 80,000 people living according to God's law as described in Corinthians 6 or Ephesians 5. That's not less than 1 % , that's less than .1 % . Maybe before I'm dead our society will change for the better.......regardless of what church they go to. One can hope. But I think it was Red that said to Andy, hope is a dangerous thing in a place like this. Maybe that's why a person gets told they were born 100 years too late, just for trying to live by God's standards, but His standards are the best I've read
Keith just like to let you know your conversion story is the reason why i go back to my catholic faith.thank you so much.keep doing your video.don't mind them please
Likely me too.
Catholic conversions are an imitation of the catholic to Evangelical that has been drasticly occuring in many countries
We catholics must help ourself ,to strengthen our faith if we love our faith/Lord Jesus Christ we must help ourself,we must not blame our church or priest...
True. I cried hearing his testimony
Thank you for letting me know that. I am humbled.
Growing up my dad would say “if people are busy pointing out what wrong with you, it’s only to hide their flaws!” I’m a born again cradle Catholic because of your video “It’s a bad idea to leave the Catholic Church!” Your video spoke to my soul and I’m so grateful! I am now praying the Rosary daily (once with you and your beautiful wife at 5 am🥱) I’m also doing research on my faith! If I would say anything to anyone putting down the Catholic Church it would be “yes you probably do know the Bible better than I but you need to know your history on the Christian faith.” If they are true to themselves they will see it leads right to the Catholic Church! Keep doing videos please! Blessings to you and your family!
I needed this vent because I’m a new catholic and been going through this with people close to me and I’ve been so confused as to what everyone’s problem is lol
Most peoples problem is with all the ruined lives left in the wake of the catholic church. 325,000 raped and molested kids in france from 1950 til 2020. thats just in frnce, and the number is growing.
Fr. Chris Alar has great info and many others, too! I get hassled and then frustrated also and I taught in Catholic schools for over 20 years. I pray for them and give my worries to Jesus! Plus, I ask for the Holy Spirit to please intervene! 🤗

All of us get tired of it. Oh well nothing new. Catholics have always been attacked and Christians too in general since time of Jesus. People just attack what they don’t understand. May God bless you!
Love your Chanel! My daughter was raised Catholic. When she went to college all her friends she met were not Catholic and talked very mean about Catholics. She had never experienced this before. She became afraid to say she was Catholic and started attending many different churches with her friends. Many times in the sermons they would say disparaging things about Catholics. She was upset and feeling like this all must be true. Anyway, thank goodness she has come full circle and is embracing being Catholic, but she wishes she new what to say when attacked. The last thing she told me was her friend told her it’s a satanic cult and her preacher told her that!! Good grief!! Shes 22 and I’m glad she has at least found one friend to go to Mass with! I told her never ever in my 56 years have I ever heard a priest in Mass say anything negative about another denomination. It’s crazy!!!
I’ve been to a few dozen churches over
multiple states in fifty years. I’ve never heard ANYBODY speak against Catholic doctrine in the pulpit. Where on earth was this kid hearing anti-Catholic stuff in a sermon?
The Catholic church is not a denomination.
Other ecclesial groups are denominated from it.
Were these "fair weather Christians", part of Ian paisley's church. All the years I went to Catholic mass, I heard no proddy bashing. But they foam at the mouth bashing Catholics.
That's because Catholics know that the child rch srrvice is not the place to bash fellow Christians or express personal opinions.
I am so glad your daughter came back home.
Been raised Protestant all my life and never heard any churches I''ve been to disparage Catholics. If anything, they didn't talk about them. I've been to quite a few churches too.

Hi Keith! I really admire the love you show for our Catholic faith. As a cradle Catholic, like many of us, I knew very little about my faith. I began attending protestant services about 6 years ago and the more I listened to their interpretation of the Bible I began to question their preaching. That's when I began to read and listen to Catholic programs and Protestant conversion stories, such as Scott Hann's story and other's. I have learned so much about my faith that the more I read the more I fall in love with Catholicism. If Protestants would only put their pride and arrogance aside and read these conversion stories and do their own research, they would know the truth. Let's all pray for them, that our Lord open their hearts and minds and use us Catholics as tools for their conversion. Always setting a good example of sanctity in our lives.
God bless you Keith and keep up the good work!! I always pray for you and your family!

Wow! What a story! Good for you! I have had a similar experience.
To be deep into history is to cease to be protestant. Many protestant pigeons hole themselves to the Bible alone and not study the church fathers. It was the Catholic Church 400 years after Christ through St Jerome and councils that determined the Canons of Scripture. It was a tradition that guided the early church and by those writings looked Catholic.
Thank you for making this video. I used to grow so angry with certain anti-Catholics and want to educate them. I realized all they wanted to to do was argue. They have their views and nothing is going to change their minds. Now, I just ignore them and pray for them.
Marcia, I was taught in speech class that a hostile audience will listen to a speaker better than an indifferent audience. Something to think about when talking to Protestants.
@@janedoe2074 Christianity as a whole is under attack throughout the world. The secular atheists and radical Islamists and Communists don't draw any distinctions between Protestants and Catholics - we're all infidels or deluded fools to them. We need to put up a united front against all the anti-God and anti-Christian forces in the world and instead people still want to fight the battles of 500 years ago. Satan must really enjoy that.
Best thing you can do!!
@@dm-gq5uj You have a good point. And I take it to heart. I have many good protestant friends. Honestly, though, the Church is standing tall and offers access. And it is not us Catholics who usually pick the fights. Protestant are known for their divisiveness. 20.000 denominations...? And they all keep themselves and others from getting the sacraments, which they need as much as anybody. Jesus IS the sacraments. Can't get closer to Him than that. And if we want to give witness to the Seculars and Islamists, if they put us on the stake, we will pretty much need Jesus. God bless you - and especially our Protestant brethren! JP
@@janedoe2074 god bless you 🙏
Totally with you on this, Keith!
I understand your frustration really well. My best friend who is a Protestant. He tried to introduce me to develop a personal relationship with Jesus and persuade me to read the Bible (so that I would eventually leave Catholocism).
Little did he know that I know my faith well. He then asked me to speak with his father who as a Protestabt Pastor, but an Ex-Catholic who abounded Catholicism when he was around age 30 & left home after breaking all idols at his home. I am now talking to his father to try to show him and his family the fullness of the truth. Please keep them in your prayers.
My friend though is very reluctant to read any books i give. For example (Fathers Know Best by Jimmy Akin). He says why should he read what my 1st generation Catholics belived when what aposteles and Jesus practised is already mentioned in the Bible.
Luckily, his father is willing to read books. So i have now send over many good books to ready including your book (1st year in the church).
God bless!
Wow! What about now? Is there any change?
@@norazanmie8073 his Father yes, he is learning Catholicism day by day. It will take time (perhaps 3-4 years even). And he will only speak to his family after he fully finishes studying (because he himself needs to be able to answer each & every objection the family members have).

You make it sound like having a relationship with the Lord and reading Holy Scripture intently is a bad thing
@@Wilkins325 having a personal relationship with the Lord & reading scripture intently is a great thing. What is bad though is coming up with one's own personal interpretations (instead of studying history & reading the writings of the Early Church Fathers to understand how they interpreted Scripture). Afterall they were the first Christians. Also visiting the Catacombs of Rome which are Archaeological evidences of how the First Christians secretly worshipped fearing persecution of evil Roman Emperors. Anyone who does these will realize that the first Christians & all Authors of the Bible were indeed Catholic in their belief. Oops!
God bless you and your ministry, brother!!! You profess EVERYTHING on my heart exactly how I would profess our one true Catholic and Apostolic church if I could!!! You have been truly given a special grace and spiritual gift!!! Keep fighting the good fight. Please pray for me, as I lack the charism that you have, but know I am called to something greater for God’s honor and glory. Again, thank you so very much for your ministry bringing lost souls to the fullness of Truth.
Keith, your irritation was balm to my soul. I've heard those things flung at Catholics so often that they really get on my nerves too, and its a comfort to know other people get annoyed by them as well LOL. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and I love your book. Keep going and growing.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for this video! I was baptized catholic as a baby, but in our family things like going to church or praying before eating simply didn't exist. I grew to be an agnostic, but came back to Christ about two years ago. I was struggling to accept catholicism then, but I got to know a couple of catholics who could really explain it to me. Now I'm still learning a lot but I'm not leaving this faith anymore. Glad I found this channel!
Good for you,

Radioreplies.info
You should come home to the traditional Catholic faith. If you don’t belong to the Faith, then you’re against it.
Don't apologize Keith. You're doing the right thing.
The biggest tired thing that I hear is that Catholics aren't Christian.
They aren’t.
Catholicism is definitely a lying pagan cult that was established by the same Roman Empire who crucified Jesus. Jesus commanded us to follow Him and He did not command us to follow some man made religion.
Now since Passover and Easter are drawing near, I will expose the false preachers and religions who wickedly promote and believe that Jesus was crucified on a Friday and if you are believing this Good Friday lie then you also know very little about God and scripture. These lies occur since many lack knowledge of scripture and they are not comprehending the important and explicit clues that John related in his gospel in regard to the Crucifixion and the Sabbath. This ignorance of truth certainly applies to the pagan cult known as Catholicism since they are one of the many false religions that claim that Jesus was crucified on a Friday.
Realize that the first day of Passover was considered a Sabbath day to the children of Israel since it was a day of holy convocation and no manner of work was to be done, so it was basically no different than the weekly Sabbath that God commanded the children of Israel to observe every Friday evening. You then need to understand that in a particular year when the Passover Sabbath would begin on a Thursday evening, this was then considered a high day Sabbath or a special Sabbath to the children of Israel since they would now have to recognize two Sabbath days back to back.
“‘Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.”
Leviticus 23:3 NKJV
Now to prove how the special feasts of God were to be treated no differently then the regular Sabbath and that no work was to be done, all we need to do is read what was related in Leviticus 23. Take notice that in the Leviticus 23:23-25 scriptures below, it clearly relates that a holy convocation also included a sabbath rest.
”Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a SABBATH-REST, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.’ ”
Leviticus 23:23-25 NKJV
“‘These are the feasts of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times. On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the Lord’s Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord; seven days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it. But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord for seven days. The seventh day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it.’ ”
Leviticus 23:4-8 NKJV
Now God commanded the Israelites to keep His Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight and the first month of the year on God’s religious calendar is called Nisan or Abib and it begins in the spring and not in the winter as our current new year does. So because scripture relates that Jesus celebrated Passover at His Last Supper with His disciples many are falsely assuming that Jesus was crucified on Nisan 15 and not on Nisan 14 and that His Last Supper had to occur on a Thursday night since He was crucified on the day of Preparation. Now before I go on, I need you to understand that God commanded the Israelites to always celebrate His Passover but there was actually a period when the children of Israel stopped keeping God’s Passover. (See 2 Kings 23:21-23.)
Since the tribes of Israel had stopped keeping the Passover you can read where King Hezekiah and Josiah reinstated the Passover celebration in 2 Chronicles 30 and 35. They now chose to have the people celebrate God’s Passover at the second temple instead of at their homes since they wanted to make sure that the Israelites would stay loyal to God and His commands. So even though they reinstated the Passover celebration they actually were ignoring God’s command since they now started a tradition where many would celebrate God’s Passover at their homes on the beginning of Nisan 14 and then at the second temple in Jerusalem at the end of Nisan 14.
So because the gospels are relating that Jesus was buried on Preparation day, many false preachers and religions are ignorantly assuming that this meant that the crucifixion had to occur on a Friday, since this is the day that the Jewish people would normally begin their preparation for the weekly Sabbath that began every Friday evening. Further below I will definitely prove where their ignorance of scripture has led false preachers and religions astray but first I want you to understand that the Jewish calendar months are completely different then the Gregorian calendar that we currently use, and that the Jewish day actually ends once it becomes dark and not at midnight as our world is accustomed to.
So in order to start proving why the crucifixion did not occur on a Friday I will begin by revealing how the gospel of John related some very important information that many deceived believers are not comprehending.
First, take notice where John related in 13:1-3 that Jesus celebrated His Last Supper before the Feast of Passover and then understand that John was referencing the Passover celebration that would occur at the temple at twilight on Nisan 14.
“NOW BEFORE THE FEAST OF PASSOVER, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,”
John 13:1-3 NKJV
Next, I will reveal a couple of scripture verses where John related that when Jesus was crucified it occurred during a year where the Passover Sabbath was going to occur the day before the weekly Sabbath. This would mean that you would have two Sabbath days occurring back to back and since you now had a special Sabbath occurring on Thursday evening this then meant that no work could be done on either Friday or Saturday. So since the Jewish people could do no work once their Friday began (our Thursday at nightfall), this then meant that the day of Preparation would now fall on a Thursday instead of its normal Friday. Once again, take note that when you had a Feast Day Sabbath occurring the day before the weekly Sabbath this was then called a special Sabbath or a HIGH DAY Sabbath by the Jewish people.
”Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (FOR THAT SABBATH WAS A HIGH DAY), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.”
John 19:31 NKJV
”Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.”
John 18:28 NKJV
So notice how John 19:31 related that the Sabbath that was going to occur later that evening was a HIGH DAY SABBATH. This meant that it had to be the Passover Sabbath and not the weekly Sabbath as many false preachers and religions are wrongly teaching. This is also why John 18:28 is relating how the Pharisees did not want to defile themselves on the day that Jesus was crucified since they were desiring to partake in the Passover meal that would occur at the end of that day at the temple. So since John clearly related in scripture that Jesus was crucified on the day of Preparation and he stated that this was the day before a HIGH DAY SABBATH Sabbath then the crucifixion definitely had to occur on a Thursday, otherwise God and scripture would be lying to us.
Lastly, in order to fulfill what Jesus related in the Matthew 12 scripture where He stated that He would spend three days and three nights in the heart of the earth here is a time recap of the Last Supper, the Crucifixion and His Resurrection and a complete breakdown of the three days and the three nights that Jesus spent in the heart of the earth. On Wednesday night as Nisan 14 begins this is when Jesus had His Last Supper with His Disciples. Then on Thursday morning which was still Nisan 14 Jesus is crucified at 9 in the morning and He dies on the cross at 3 in the afternoon. Jesus is then buried just before sundown on Thursday evening before the Passover Sabbath celebration begins. Jesus then of course rises from the grave early Sunday morning which is now Nisan 17.
Thursday Night #1 - Passover Sabbath Begins
Friday Day #1 - Passover Sabbath Ends At Sundown
Friday Night #2 - Weekly Sabbath Begins
Saturday Day #2 - Weekly Sabbath Ends At Sundown
Saturday Night #3
Sunday Day #3 - Jesus Is Resurrected
“For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”
Matthew 12:40 NKJV
So Jesus died on the cross on Thursday Nisan 14 at 3 in the afternoon which was around the time that they began slaughtering the lambs that were needed to celebrate the Passover at the temple and this is why Jesus was known as the Lamb of God who was sacrificed for our sins.

I have a good friend who is a fallen away Catholic who likes to challenge me occasionally and this helps me defend my faith so much better. Keep making these great videos Keith because you are educating so many of us who want to better defend and strengthen our faith and religion given to us by Jesus Christ Himself! I'll be watching more of these!
I had very good advice from Dr. David Anders the other day.....stay completely away from internet “conversations” with antiCatholics. Period. I have learned the hard way.

But in the end I won't be drawn into trading verse for verse and I simply reply that I can always read scripture but I leave it's interpretation to the church.

Hi Keith yes I agree I hear these things from Protestants very often. I've also been told I'm going to hell and taking my children with me because of my Catholic faith. But I find myself praying for them more often these days no matter how much they insult and hurt me. I am Catholic and I read and study the bible regularly. I have an intimate relationship with Christ because I receive HIM in the Eucharist which if understood correctly is the most amazing experience and fills me with so much love and gratitude for God. I'm deeply in love with Christ and honour Our Blessed Mother because Christ honours Her. Been Catholic is not just a religion but it's the way I live my life. And it's the one thing I'm most grateful to God for because the sacraments lead me closer and closer to Christ and helps me fall deeper in love with my adorable Jesus and my fellow man....and ultimately it will lead me to heaven. Thank you for defending Christ's Church. Always do it with love.
Mercia Lortan Turn a deaf ear to anyone who says you are going to Hell. NO ONE can judge except God. Keep the Faith and show the Faith through good fruit. God bless.
You can sleep well at night. Jesus himself was accused by the Pharisees that accused him of being in league with the devil. And Jesus answered "A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand." Check out Mark 3:24.
As a former protestant of nearly 50 years ( from childhood ) and now a Catholic as of 3.31.2018, I've heard, seen, been the victim of so much hate filled words ( mostly online ) from professing Christians which is really sad. I was raised strict PENTECOSTAL and lots of stuff would send you to hell, but I never heard being a Catholic would send you to hell until I begin diving more into the Catholic faith which began in 2016. That didn't sway me from becoming Catholic.
You say a lot of great things. If you keep your eyes on Christ and love him like you are saying living your Catholic faith, you can turn a deaf ear to those that condemn you to hell for being Catholic. No human has the authority to pass final judgment. Those condemning Catholics to hell shows their ignorance of the Catholic faith. Yes, we are saved by Grace from God's Mercy through faith in Christ which none of us deserve but as Catholics we believe we have to cooperate with God's Grace.
There are a lot of religious nuts online who don't know how to be loving. They simply spew hate filled words in the name of love and try to justify it using select scriptures.
Hold your head high, keep loving Jesus and live the Catholic life. Peace be with you.
My relationship and journey with Him is like yours, so beautifully described. This could not happen in any other church I think.
I had a life long Protestant “ friend” call me when my child graduated from a Catholic online accredit homeschool recently - very tough program - all my “ friend” talked about was how infant baptism is inferior to her baptist baptism because the kid “ chooses”- and how priests ought to be married and how it’s just so much better to worship God wherever you are and you don’t have to go to Mass. okay - thanks for the attack my now ex friend :!!

Hey Keith
You're awesome
Today is the feast of St. Augustine

Your posting today is perfect timing
Most if not all of Non practicing Catholics or others 'protesting' the Bride of Christ are all the same with their arguments.
They have too much pride and will never humble themselves in adoration to the One True God and actually confess their sins to Jesus (through the priests) and feel contrition for their sins.
They are all their own Popes and rationalize accordingly.
We all need to submit and if you don't want to you are in trouble and need true discernment.
We need to pray and fast fir all.
It's great to be Catholic
BUT it's a great responsibility to humble yourself to AUTHORITY which was put there by Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
Exactly! My husband was just thinking about this kind of stuff, then opened up commentary on his Laudate app only to find St. Augustine telling him about it! 🤣 freaked him right out!
Kind of reminds me of being the oldest brother in the family who is responsible for guiding the younger children.
Rolando Velásquez like everything else, these quotes are taken out of context. None of them are specifically talking about Mary. You also switched words quoting St. Augustine as saying that Jesus was “born” without sin then you switched it to “conceived”. This is so common for anti-Catholic Protestants... the tactic even has a name - “the Protestant spin”. We all know Jesus was conceived and born without sin... duh! He’s God! Now show me a quote where St. Augustine (after he converted, of course) says specifically that Mary was not born or conceived without sin. Then please read the Protoevangelium of James and tell us that again.

I love how protestants always say "is it in the bible?" If they read only the bible literally then they would think Peter is Satan because Jesus said to Peter, " Get behind me Satan." The Catholic Churches teaches us how to interpret the bible. Love being a Catholic and the Rosary is by far the BEST way to meditate on God and his sacrifices for us.
Funny because yesterday I've seen a TH-cam comment from a protestant claiming that Peter was literally satan. I can't with them...
@@norazanmie8073 It wouldn't be usual to literally interpret that Peter is Satan. Like when Jesus rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me Satan".

worst argument ever.
I was a Protestant for years. I grew up in a Catholic family, though i chose to view the bible and Christ through a Protestant eye . It wasnt until almost a year ago that i began deep research into Catholic theology. On Easter Vigil, i finally became a Catholic. I lost many friends , even a girlfriend. But what i have gained is far more gorgeous then social acceptance could ever offer.
For those on the fence , start with Scott Hahns conversion story ( thats hiw i found Keith ) and study the esrly church fathers that Dr. Hahn points towards. Also study the books and videos of Dr. Ed Sri . Then....go....to ....Mass. what you will find ( or rather what will find you ) is beyond ANYTHING you will ever find in any Protestant Church on earth. I can promise you that my siblings in Christ. Protestantism will feed you just enough that you wont get skinny , Catholicism will feed you a full course meal . Its the difference between empty carbs and superfood
I’m very grateful for your videos. I am on my way back home, because I too didn’t pay attention enough at the Mass and then went to a Protestant service and was amazed at how much they focused on the Gospel. I loved your book! It helped me understand my own faith.
I have been Catholic my whole life. I am 37 years old. I am very sure a lot of Catholics leave the church due to ignorance. They do not know their own faith. For my own experience I was a Catholic only by title but once I read a couple of books about the purgatory, exorcisms, and how it is scientifically proven that the body and blood of Christ is in the Eucharist then my faith and curiosity grew. It made me happy to know why I am a Catholic. I recommend you to watch on TH-cam Carlo Acutis, he created a website narrating miracles about the Eucharist around the world. Finally, if you want to go back home once for all please start praying the Rosary 📿. Oh Blessed Mother Virgin Mary pray for us Sinners. Our Blessed Mother is the fastest and easiest way to get closer to Jesus. The four lethal weapons we Catholics have against our battle with the devil are: the Eucharist, the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, the Confession and the Rosary. 🙏😊 I hope you come back home soon.
Why were you amazed at how a protestant service would focus so much on the gospel? Protestants are very focused on the bible.
Ya I'm a little confused because most hard-core evangelicals focus ONLY on the gospel and nothing else!
Catholicism is much deeper in my opinion by far
Every mass I attend is like reliving the gospel of Jesus Christ. I see the church as the living gospel an open book which leads you to giving your totality to Christ who dwells in us. We are hidden in God through Christ.
Do you celebrate Christmas Alan? The Nativity, the birth of Our Lord Jesus into the world as a tiny baby? If so that is a CATHOLIC feast day! The giveaway is the name CHRIST---MASS!!!!

Cradle Catholic here who is now 64 years young. The # 1 thing my protestant friends have said to me many times during my life is Catholics aren't Christians. I am not kidding here. I have been told that by not just one protestant but many throughout my lifetime. The # 2 thing i get told us Catholics don't read the bible.# 3 Is as you said Catholics worship false idols such as Mary and all the other saints.
I feel sad for the people who don't even know about the miracles happening across the world to this very day within the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Catholic faith. Apparitions of Mary , Healings which all come from God given to his church and its faithful. If only they would see and hear with open hearts.
They need excuses not to join the True Church. So they invent all these fairy tales and readily believe them
"Every grace God gives a non-Catholic He gives for the purpose of converting to the Catholic Church."
----St. Augustine
God constantly showers non-Catholics with graces and inspirations to convert (I know, because I was once a Protestant) and non-Catholics have to work long and hard to reject those graces and inspirations.

And I just don't want to argue with them. But one of our Priests cried when he shared the story about how some Protestants disrespected Mother Mary. He just could not understand why they did not honor the mother of our Lord. It's like our friends do not respect our own mother. How do we fell? And this......Disrespect the Mother of God.

I like the way you preach brother!! Keep up the good "work!" Lol ❤ on a serious note.. I'm very glad I came across your video.. I've seen one of the videos you did many years ago but didn't know it was you the same guy as you look different (hair etc) but I'm glad you are in TH-cam.. thanks so much! God bless. I'm learning a lot.
What I love about you is that you FIRST already have a personal relationship with Jesus BEFORE you converted to the Catholic faith. Keep sharing your experience...
When Protestants ask you about your personal relationship with Jesus, remind them that you can't get much more personal than eating Jesus's Body and drinking His Blood.
The reformation isn't in the bible, nor did it take place when Jesus founded his church !!!!!
So true, therefore it should be call "deformation"
the reformation happened when it was thought that the Pope of that time was straying from Christianity
@@ianprince1698 yet he was building Vatican city 🤷♀️. Its more of a deformation after all
@@ianprince1698 No it happened because of rebellion. Protestants think they can "reform" what Jesus did

Cynthia,
Great point!
Didn't Jesus also say that nothing will destroy His one Church?
▪︎MATTHEW 16:18
18. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH, and the powers of DEATH SHALL NOT PREVAIL against it.
Do they ignore Jesus promise not to abandon His Church?
▪︎MATTHEW 28:20
20. and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, TO THE END OF THE AGE.”
And the permanent assistance of the Holy Spirit to guide His one Church to all truth, as clearly expressed in:
▪︎JOHN 16:13
13. When the SPIRIT of TRUTH comes, He WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL THE TRUTH; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
Such eternal promise has been critical for the Catholic Church to be able to speak and ACT with infallible authority:
▪︎ACTS 15: 28
28. ‘It is the decision of the HOLY SPIRIT AND of US not to place on you any burden beyond these necessities,
God bless.
There are prejudiced minds bro. We have to bear with them.

Today is 9/11. The American Republic has been hijacked. We witnessed controlled demolition of Tower 7 and the arrest of Mossad agents with foreknowledge. Criminal international banking has hijacked the American Republic and I hear NOTHING from Christians or Pope's on the greatest threat to Christians - a criminal international banking cartel. How can I follow these simple minded people if they can't see what the biggest satanic threat to their faith?
It is the same way with the murder of Kennedy. It is only the "shunned" Christians who seem to have any fight in them against the greatest forces of evil.
This is so raw and i appreciate it
You go, Keith! I watched your conversion story a few months ago on JH. You and your wife are awesome! I pray for you and yours whenever I can. I think as a cradle Catholic, you and yours are an amazing addition to our Catholic family. I enjoy watching your videos and appreciate my faith even more and am doing my best to know more about it so I can promulgate the faith and stand up for it like you do! Continue to fight the good fight and I pray God may continue to bless your family and provide y’all the Grace’s needed to fulfill your mission!
Thank you so much for these kind words. I am so glad my content is helping you. God bless !
Watched this again. This is fabulous. Thank you, Keith!
Keith, you are doing a great job!!
People talk groundless.
Keith, I want to thank you and the other converts for sharing your testimony. It has strengthened my faith and is changing the minds of the people in my life around me. Thank you for spreading the word. Praise to God almighty and His only Son, Jesus Christ.
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
I love this video! Thank you!
I have felt the exact same way! However, I backed out of these conversations about 2 or 3 weeks ago, and mentally, I feel like I’ve been on a great vacation to a tropical island. Maybe you too need to take a break from these conversations. It is very nice to just follow your beliefs, and not have to justify anything to anyone. God bless
Love your passion and energy!! You are a Blessing to the Catholic community.
God Bless 🙏🏻,

I have consecrated myself to Mary on 22 ND of August, coronation of blessed virgin Mary.i get frustrated and angry when Protestant s mock Mary with their indifference, hatred and contempt and don't acknowledge what she has actually done for us.Mary was the first Tabernacle of the lord.if she said no to God we would be lost in our sin,no redemption.
What happens is I stick up for Mary and they renounce her even more and say terrible things about her.you know what it's like when someone says something nasty about your mum, you stick up for her and defend her.imagine how Jesus feels when people are indifferent, contemptible and say hateful things about her.woe to that person!!
They say Mary isn't the mother of God!!
So all you people out there the woman who carried you in her womb for 9 months, guess what!! She's not your mother!! Ridiculous.
He who has not Mary as their mother has not God for their Father however much they boast of it simply because they have not Mary for their mother.Alas God has told Mary not to dwell in them for they are Esau!
Stephen Fredrickson she is also the spouse of the Father. Not sure I’d want to disrespect Gods spouse.
The hearts of Jesus and Mary reign together.
It was Jesus who went to a cross for us, it wasn.t mariolatry putting its boobs on stake for us.
@oneconcerned jesus came to us through mary,we to jesus through mary.you insult mary and by insulting her you insult jesus.
Very interesting n knowledgeable Thank u Keith for reinforcing our knowledge of our faith n church ❤
Wow, Keith, another fantastic video! I really appreciate all that you are doing. I know it is not easy to take all these attacks.
I’m just at a loss of mind when Protestants say that the rosary prayer is not biblical,for if they only could look at the prayer and all of the mysteries of each decade they’ll come to realize that it contains the birth,life,bitter passion and death of Jesus Christ and his Glorious Triumph RESURRECTION AND ASCENSION INTO HEAVEN.Yeah Yeah Yeah now isn’t that the INFINITE AND ETERNAL TRUTH!!!!
Thank you Keith!! Keep stay strong. Keep close to Jesus lead us to Jesus!! God bless you!
I’m so so impressed with your video Mr.Nester,I understand what you’re saying and the great frustration you are going through as a Catholic.Wether it’s coming from Protestants or Catholics,I want you to know that you’re not alone in this situation.But I just want you to realize that in all reality that Jesus Christ did not come to make it easy for his people in his Church,for as Jesus revealed that to enter into life is difficult for how narrow and straight is the gate that leads to life and how few there are that find it,so it seems pretty clear that our lord is telling us Catholic’s that there’s going to be many difficulties,hardships,stresses,pains,frustrations and more in our daily situations. I hope that you can understand what I’m saying,trust in our God and Lord Jesus Christ and our Immaculate Mother Mary and I’m sure they’ll help you with your struggles Amen Amen Amen 🙏 May God Bless you and your works with an abundance of his Graces Virtue’s Truth and And His Charity Alleluia 🐑🕊️✨🌈
Just yesterday, a protestant had s long talk with me, and used comment #4 , it's all about Jesus and it doesn't matter what church you attend. But what made this different was that the man taught college history for many years, he had been to Catholic retreats, and even had a fondness for the traditional Latin mass. So it made me think, why couldn't this man see the truth, and all i can come up with this that his blindness comes from not having the grace. So I have it in my mind to pray for him to receive that grace. Keith, you're doing wonderful work for Christ, if you're not doing it already, i suggest a Holy hour each day. I do that ( and my rosary) to help strengthen me. God bless
@@serviam4161 yes
He was probably divorced and wanted to remarry and live as an adulterer but the Catholic Church wouldn't let him so he jumped ship. You would be surprised how often this is the case with ex-catholics.
@@lukebrasting5108 Is divorce authorized in the protestant church?
Great video! My husband and I watched it together and you nailed it.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us
Love this I was a cradle Catholic but was very luke warm but in the last 4 years have come back to my faith . Have now discovered the TLM and nothing compares to it. I have 7 brothers and 7 sisters half of which have become protestant. I've shared this to my FB and am hoping those that have turned their back on our Catholic faith will come back to it. I live in hope
The Lord has recently opened my eyes my spirit to the truth of Catholicism through an understanding of the Virgin Mary
Jesus is the ONLY mediator between man and God.
@@rosemarybaxter9120this verse doesn't say we can't ask Mary and the saints to pray for us it just says Jesus is the one mediator between us and God
I love the Blessed Mother. When I die I want the Ave Maria sang at my funeral.
This video cracked me up. The one I see all the time and am already weary of (I am not even Catholic yet!) is the verse about "call no one on earth father" in reference to Catholics calling their priest Father. I wish there was a hair-tearing emoji to respond to that one. lol
Why do you call your mother’s husband?
Once I was asked by a well-meaning evangelical if the Catholic Church added anything to the Bible.
“Only the New Testament,” I said.
“If I were not a Catholic, and were looking for the true Church in the world today, I would look for the one Church which did not get along well with the world; in other words, I would look for the Church which the world hates.” Bishop Fulton Sheen
My Catholic faith defines me... I will ask a protestant what they do at their church... read and study the bible...well the Catholic church assembled the books of the bible.
👏👏👏
Wrote, Assembled, collated, edited, preserved and published.
No.... You didn't write it.....
You mean the writers of the scriptures weren't members of the early church?
So, you accept ..."Assembled, collated, edited, preserved and published".
Matthew AZ boy so your faith in Catholics defines you? Or your faith in Christ defines you?
@@denominationsdontsaveonlyj8896 I can't speak for Matthew, but you offer a false dichotomy.
Christ is the head and the Church is the body, faith in one and not the other is impossible. It is a false faith. It is no faith at all. Why? Because Christ and the Church are one, just as Christ and the Father are one.
Zer0 Day the word church is incorrect, it was added over the word “ called out” so people need to be clear the church isn’t nature dame or St. John’s Baptist church, all building denominational titles have nothing to do with the body of Christ.
The word “ Charity “ was added over Love, both of these words were modified amongst others to send believers in a building to contain the people for money and keeping them in fear and the priest richer.
You don’t need to go far and get the catholic catechism book and in there you will read how the Sabbath was changed from Saturday to Sunday.
The solution is simple, if you want to be part of the body of Christ you need to keep the commandments of God, that is the right commandments and the testimony of a Jesus Christ, read a John 15, if you don’t produce good fruits you are cast into the fire. Nowhere will you find in scripture in you are a catholic or a jw you are saved. Jesus upgraded God commandments keep that in mind but here is something you need to ask yourself, do you know the proper commandments of the top of your head? If not you haven’t even started the faith yet.
Keith, thank you for being the GPS for those who missed the turn! God bless you richly.
Amen brother .As a catholic who became a protestant and came back to the Catholic church. Amen and amen Lord Jesus Christ son of God have mercy on me a sinner and grant me the graces of your holy cross and Resurrection for you have redeemed the world
Baptist that converted to catholicism here - happy to be catholic!
Welcome home!
As a Catholic, I wonder whether the issue is whether Catholics know what is the right answer to these questions.
Many Catholics are like the seeds that fall on thorns and are choked by these false teachers even though these false Protestant teachings are tired.
@PattiBowenSolutions i commented this with sadness instead of judging them from moral high ground. Its derived from many encounters from ex Catholics who attacked Catholics teachings, adopting the same accusations as the Protestants like Marian worshippers, idol worshippers from the Roman temple etc. These ex Catholics would claim that they have been in the church for 30 / 40 years but not been given bible lessons, seen fake priests and are spiritually dead. Now they are filled with the Holy Spirit and are inviting blinded Catholics to join them and leave the false religion Emperor Constantine founded. I can carry on. There are more. Wafer worshippers. Follwers of the whore of Babylon. These are common comments left in Catholics TH-cam vids.
So do you still feel that I am judging them ? Are they not seeds that are choked by thorny false teachers ?
I think Patti initially misunderstood your first sentence, Jeremiah, as did I. It comes across as a challenge from a Protestant who thinks that neither Keith, nor any other Catholic, knows the true, Protestant answers to the five "questions" that Keith raises. But what you're actually saying is that it's important for all Catholics to know the right answers to these questions. In other words, there's no disagreement here.
@@jimnewl Ha ! Ha ! I reread my post and it sure give an impression as though some heretics wrote a tirade against the Catholic Church ! My deepest apologies for misleading. ! Thank you for pointing this out !
@@jeremiahong248 Almost all ex ANTI Catholics those Catholics who leave the faith, most of them are LAPSED Catholics.
@PattiBowenSolutions Thank you for your reply ! I have amended my post so that not so misleading. I am not a Sedevacantist. As a convert to the Catholic faith, I must say I am utterly disappointed at Vatican and the current /past 2 Popes for doing nothing to build the faith level of Catholics. In a biz, if the CEO and management had lost so many customers, they will be fired. The dismal PEW research on Mass attendance and belief in the Eucharist are testimony of the poor job the shephards are doing. Not to even mention shooting themselves in the feet by failing to prevent the sex abuse.
I'm a protestant. It's not about the church you go to because it is about Jesus Christ and His atonement for our sins. Therefore, I don't care if you're Catholic or protestant. I get together with my Catholic friends and pray together. I can go to Mass just as easily as I go to my church. I'm so sick of the animosity. It's possible to disagree on things, but still respect each other and get along together.
Understand your frustration Keith. I believe we have become so prideful that we are no longer able to know when to speak up and when to keep silent. I pray every day that the Lord will remove the pride in our hearts and replace it with humility.
Jesus come into our hearts! Make our hearts like yours! ❤🙏🏼
Keep sharing, ignore the trolls.
Keep it up, always learn from your videos. God bless you.
Well done my guy! You had the balls to come out and say these truths! I’ve felt like this for so long but I’m not good at arguing my Catholic faith with Protestants especially my older brother who talks to me like this “ hey bro I just want to tell you the spirit is telling me that you have this spirit of religion on you that needs to broken” oh man how annoying that is when he tells me this bogus.
Also, I can totally guess 10 of your top 5 and you haven't even started the list.
Yes, those are some very tired-out hollow things protestants do indeed say. Thanks for defending the Faith, Keith Nester, you have good energy and conciseness. subbed. Blessings.
Keith, Your videos have been very inspirational and instrumental in my renewed and reinvigorated walk with Jesus and His Church; more than you know. And I know I'm not the only one. Thanks for the all the work that you do (and in the end, that's what's most important) If people choose to judge or attack us for our faith, well that's on them. Like you said, Only God knows what's in our hearts and theirs. And His is the only opinion that really matters 👍
I love your videos! You are a champion of the Faith!
I feel your frustrations too Keith...I know my Catholic Faith fairly well and if someone asks about it genuinely I take time to educate them.
Alan you would get a lot further by loving your brothers and sisters rather than treat everyone like your adversary.
Im a prorestant and i went to Catholic Mass today. I definitely heard the Gospel. Ive been going more and more and may even leave my current church. And I even was a pastor at one time.
i
m a fprmer [rotestant myself, now, thankfully, a catholic, and I'm going to say this:....Protestantism does not come from Jesus and the sole reason why it exists is to attack and oppose the catholic church. Frankly, I'm turned off by their constant accusations and bad behaviour, this despite the fact that they are following martin luther.
Thank you, for your words and your fire - funny story - when I met my cradle cath wife 30 yrs ago - I took her to " my" lutheran church - the one I grew up in on get this -"Reformation Sunday" - dumb me- must have been very difficult for her at the time - still brings it up occasionally and we laugh at it - but we did get married - at a cath mass thank God (sacramentally) - and I eventually converted by God's grace - I'm quite sure she knew I did not fully understand the religious significance at the time!!
It’s good to hear and see you again, Keith! Thanks for this, now I don’t have to make the video myself! I don’t remember hearing #5 before, but #4 through #1 I’ve heard ad nauseam. It’s been a while since I’ve heard #1, but I was bludgeoned nearly to death with it during my unintentionally lengthy conversion process (~8 years).
I love how Protestants who have been reading the Bible for 5 months are gonna tell the
Catholic Church How things should be.
LoL
Like me trying to tell Air Jordan how to play basketball.
My dads dad had a barbershop in 1930.
The local Catholic Bishop use to come get a haircut every other Friday. My granddad use to tell the bishop how to straighten out the church. LoL

"Saved" Protestant has been reading the Bible for three months. Tge Catholic Church has been reading it for 2000 years. But the "saved" Protestant knows more!

Dude, I’m about halfway through your video and I LOVE WHAT YOU’RE SAYING!!! You’re awesome, and welcome home!!!
Thank you Jennifer
Well, i've just prayed to God he will remove these obsessions from my mind, i'm tired of judging protestants, and i'm tired of paying attention to these horrible arguments they make against us... may God just grant us peace and we may let all this pass, for it's His church after all and not up to us to deal with this... that we may love all whoever they are and think equally and at the end say thanks to Him for moving even if outside the sacraments... some days i'm just thankful for Hillsong and Bethel and a lot of Christian music you know? like, there's no way God isn't moving in these places in a wonderful way, to me it's a mystery, though i would never leave our blessed Catholic Church, Christ is TOO real in the Eucharist for me to go, the sacrament of penance is too real as well, may protestants come to open their eyes to these blessed means of salvation and even if they don't well, may we just not really care and move on and keep on loving them and praying for them.
Former protestant here (congregationalist, sorta calvinistic, but sorta ecumenical), now fully Roman Catholic.
Cradle catholic here. Same for me no matter what doubts I have, the Eucharist always convince me that I'm at the right place. I saw our Lord one day during the procession of the Holy Sacrament. The priest wasn't there anymore it was Him standing in front of me instead. He's so real! He is Love and Peace. Just for that I will never leave my Church!
@@norazanmie8073 Hahahahahaha.
As a convert from atheism to Catholicism I also love Gospel music too, one of my favorites is the young 26yr old singer DOE. My favorite song of hers is "When I pray" 🙏
I’m with you Keith, love this video
God bless you too.
Keith you're doing a great job Keep up the great work. A priest once told me in confession. That The best Catholics are the converts. And truly believe that.
Lol. We all need to vent sometimes. I’m a convert too
I found that saying the holy rosary every day has helped a lot and also the divine mercy chapel eve
God loves ever say say the Rosary everyday these prayers are great and divine mercy Chapel
I find that talking directly to God has proved His existence in Miracles, people coming to Christ, relationships being restored, and all of that without the Roman Catholic Church. How can that be? Catholics wake up to Jesus Christ not Mary or the pope.
Thank you brother for telling the ignorant of the facts of our religion and history. But know the thing are said in the hate of the fools that repeat them and although they are annoying but for those whom love Christ simply point out the history and facts as you have. For those who have studied the faith truly know the incredibly AWESOME love and graces the Almighty have given us. Be the person of faith God would wish us all to be and be calm. The Almighty is with us always. Be not afraid.
ABSENT FROM THE BODY IS PRESENT WITH THE LORD.❤
The hidden mystery of the rosary is embedded in the live and death of Christ.
It's the Gospel which is in the Bible. 😅
Hi Keith, my name is Chuck. I think I just found your video collection and I’m enjoying it. My experience is similar to yours almost 40 years in the foursquare church coming away with a love for truth and a love for scripture❤️💕 basically still a good story, then brutally interrupted by Catholic radio ministry called Catholic Answers. and I didn’t really think Catholic had any answers just problems but this show radically changed my life for Jesus that I’ve known for 40 years and now I’ve gotten closer to the actual historical Jesus. Thanks for your videos I’m gonna collect them.
