I was born into a Catholic family, baptised, educated at a good Jesuit school but since I started listening to Steve, Scott Hahn, Rosalind Moss, Roy Schoeman, to name but a few, I have learned more and understood more about my faith, than ever I dreamed possible.
God bless them.
We will be having Scott Hahn on our Channel this Sunday evening. We are very excited to be welcoming him. Thank you for sharing your testimony.
Amen...God bless..
The fact that most Catholic can't defend and give answer about their faith is true. My story, I used to live with a Protestant roommate. at that time I thought protestant was just like catholic. so I tried to ask her how exactly is purgatory, suddenly she scolded me. She explained that purgatory does not exist. I was a bit confused and continued to give in. Since then I doing a lot of reading n research about Catholic faith and now I know a lot. No one can fool me anymore.
I was the same way. I couldn't explain my faith to save my soul. I remember in college an atheist made me cry because I couldn't defend God. Jehovah's Witnesses and fundamentalist Protestants shook my faith and also in college. Before running away, I decided to do a deep in-depth study. And I found that the Catholic Church is true and now I've written a whole book on the existence of God and evidence for God. The Catholic Church is the only church that is been here for 2000 years and has been studying the Scriptures for 2000 years. We have more answers by far than any other church and all other churches on earth. God bless you. Thanks for your testimony.
LOL VERY GOOD!
Sounds like me. I couldn't explain anything and wasn't convinced in my faith and kept running around my Protestants ' friends church then the pandemic hit and did my research and I am now a hard-core catholic. Dr Pitre Brant, especially etc
@@CatholicTruthOfficial God is great in you, Shalom ale hem, brother.
@joseph johnston I'm in the Church of the most High God, Catholic Church, n I'm not fool by any preacher like
I love Jesus Christ, and I love Steve Ray and Brian, the passion for Jesus and the Church. Great video. Every time I tell people to watch, Steve Ray videos and many more converts to the Catholic Church, Scott Hahn, Kieth Nester, Jimmy Akin, Marcus Grodi, Lila Rose, Lizzies, Tim Staple, Trent Horn. May God bless you all.
Amen! Keep sharing these videos and praying for the people who watch them. Let's keep bringing people home. God bless you.
Steve Ray is a legend. When I was totally ignorant on the subject of religion, God put his talks on my TH-cam home page. Thank you for having him on your show.
Amen. You are welcome, and he will be back again in the future.
Excited to watch! I was Baptist and loved it. Love being Catholic soooo much more, even though I couldn’t have believed that then. I even went to the Philippines to church plant for Baptist since all there was there was Catholic Churches.
😊
Great witness! Thank you for sharing. I can't see all God is going to do with you. Steve also loved being Baptist! He covers three great topics tonight!
Alrighty, I finished watching! Amazing conversation! As a former Baptist I relate sooo much. Also, I love the heck out of Steve’s Divine Mercy mug ❤️
@@GratiaPrima_ Hahaha. You noticed that mug. Better than my Red Sox mug. :) So glad you enjoyed the video and could relate so much to him. Definitely check out his website, it's full of fantastic articles from top to bottom.
Faith alone should work in Protestant church's, so that all the money comes into the church could b distributed among the so claim unemployed pretain leaders of the church, n make their high standard living, they sell the word of the Bible, like corrupt govt. officials for money.
Steve Ray is such an inspiration!
I love hearing his testimonies.
You'll love this video!! He covers 3 great topics about why Protestants are unbiblical. :)
@@CatholicTruthOfficial No doubt, I love your channel please keep up the "good work"
God Bless You, Steve Ray and his family.
@@joannafung2689 Thank you. God bless you too!
@@CatholicTruthOfficial I wonder what is might be wrong with TH-cam's alert system. It was 5 days ago that you put up this video and I have already watched it. But I just got an alert from TH-cam that a new video from your channel has just been uploaded !! Just !!
@@jeremiahong248 We are not sure. Did you hit the bell icon too? If so, perhaps email/message TH-cam and ask?
I had much the same experience as Steve Ray's wife when I was studying the Catholic faith and reading the Early Church Father's. I was reading and sobbing at the same time. I was throwing books because I was so angry that I had been lied to my whole life, and no Catholic had ever told me.
Praise God you saw the truth. But sigh. We share your frustrations about Catholics which is why we started this organization. We are trying to do our part to fire up Catholics and teach them the faith. Thank you for the comment. God bless.
This is because many people don't listen to the church by walking into the church but chose to read anti catholic writings.
Now that you mention it, I'm actually kind of resentful and mad about my Protestant and baptistic background.
Catholics blindly follow the teaching of the Catholic Church before, as the Jesus said to Thomas blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe... And since we're NOT allowed to interpret the bible own our own to careful of what we share.. That's why..Catechism on Catholic Church is from Elementary so most of Us forget and just believe so when someone ask, we don't have answers... Specially in Philippines, I really don't know that outside Philippines there's other denomination or the Church is divided.. All i know is Only Catholic Church 😅.. And don't know that Protestants, baptist have difference..NOW i need to learn so when i go back to my country i could help evangelising the FAITH..specially on my Native Tongue..
@@imjulie830Catholics are definitely encouraged to read and interpret how they want, but the churches teachings are final, so cross referencing what you find true with the churches interpretation is very important before you teach anything publicly. God bless you! I'm starting an evangelism TH-cam/tiktok channel to bring more clarity to Catholic teachings and dispell the myths that are brought against us in hate.
I really wish I'd known passionate Catholics when I was a kid. I never would have wasted so many years protestant.
Thank you for this wonderful biblical talk. I hope someday some Catholic Faith Defenders from other part of the continent was able to join this kind of sharing. It's so informative that add grips in our Catholic/Christian Faith.
Thanks so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. Come back again soon and God bless you.
Catholic truth Dr Scott Hann and Tim Stable next. I love your channel btw. It really strengthen my Catholic faith. Thank you GB ❤
So glad to hear it! Thanks so much for letting us know. God bless you.
I love your common sense expertise, your such a great speaker
Great interview! Steve has a a way of communicating like nobody else.
Thanks brother! We agree wholeheartedly. It's straightforward, down to earth, practical, and it easy to understand. God bless.
Well explained about Catholic church. Being a Catholic has taught me a lot about my faith. God bless. Watching from PNG
Wow he really hit the nail on the head several times with certain things he said that I’ve been feeling and questioning
That's interesting points there, but many Christians are troubled by the bowing before statues and images and praying through them, as well creatures/Saints/angels etc. as false worship.
I’m Catholic and will never bow down before a statue or an image. All the statue or image does is allow a person to reflect on Christ or his works through men. All prayers glorify God and his creation. The Israelites were specifically instructed by God to build the Ark to glorify his Holy Angels by the construction of two Cheribum. It wasn’t idol worship, it was to glorify the Lord. There are statues of remembrance all over America, parks, football stadiums, memorials. All used to remember a person or event. Same concept
@Brian Guglielmin Statues are just symbolic representations of the people they represent. Nothing to do with bowling or praying to. In fact, the Catholic Church condemns praying to statues, and so if anyone does they're going against God, the Bible, and their own church. Statues are similar to have any pictures of your family in your wallet or on your wall at home.
@@marshallcampbell125 Right, human mind is fragile God has used parables n stories to illustrate, His people to b convince that He is the Creator of heaven n earth, like Abraham would address Him.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial You know our pagan forefathers make woodcurving of their decieved, n place them near their homes to remind them of their love ones, but not to worship, etc.
I really enjoyed this video Bryan, he speaks a lot like you. He gives analogies and examples.... love it!! 👍🏼
Excellent interview!
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it!🙏
Wow ! You got Steve Ray ! Good for you ! Please change your title to include "Steve Ray" so that when people search for him, your channel will also show up.
being a Protestant puts you in the boat that you left the one true church started by Jesus Christ to go to reformation started by a man Martin Luther 1500 years Later no thanks the word Protestant means Protest. You have no clue on Catholic doctrine at all on your comments on Luke 1:28 Luke : 1 : 28 - And upon entering, the Angel said to her : 'Hail full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women Adam and Eve were made sinless and failed Show me where God says he is Changing the New Adam down without a new Eve ? Because here is the original in Genesis 3:15 Genesis
: 3 : 15 - I will put enmities between you and the women between your Offspring and her offspring, She will Crush your head and you will lie in wait for her heel.'
It's Crystal clear
th-cam.com/video/_ZENPMq1YH8/w-d-xo.html
What version are you reading because it does not say she will crush your head it says he. Talking about Jesus
@@Christs_servant
I hope you read Genesis 3'15
And You, Don't call Jesus liar
If you are Against the Truth
Against Him Self!
Just wanted ya'll to know I've been watching for a few weeks and I've been raised from multiple generations of protestants. I've been curious about the catholic church since my teens, and after hearing the entirely of the anti catholic sentiments, I'm starting my catechism in September and just bought my first catholic books. I'm big on research and I want the other side of the equation as well. Easter vigil will see the end result. God bless
Please be the God! So glad to hear it. Thank you for sharing. God bless you and your journey.
Thanks for your ministry Catholic Truth!!
Thank you for sharing this video
This guy is great, very energetic, thank you, I'm going to get the book for Christmas lol
Enjoy! God bless.
I just recently found this channel and am enjoying it so much!. I am Catholic, born, raised, and formally educated. I could listen to Brian and Steven Ray all day! It's so refreshing to listen to not just their knowledge of but their passion for Catholicism!
Thank you so much. We have 3 other videos with Steve that are equally amazing and wonderful if you're interested. God bless.
Thank you Bryan! I'm from Madagascar
The one and only Steve Ray Catholic Adventurer!
I admire your knowledge,because I never read the Bible,but I am very strong traditional Catholic,learning a lot from you and Father Chris Alar ,thank you so much ,sending many blessings from Australia 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
Awesome, and welcome. Hopefully you can read the Bible to at some point. Even maybe one chapter a day starting with the book of Matthew. It's just a few minutes each day. :)
Especially when he was saying how Baptist feel all they gotta do is be baptized and have faith but not put any work or actions behind it they feel they can live however they want but they were baptized so they are good I have been questioning that why we lack any discipline I’m Baptist but I feel pulled away from the church
Come home to the one true church
Welcome home my sister to the only one true Church, founded by Jesuscrist the Catholic Church.
@@cristianalfaro9432 thank you I think I’m gonna visit a local church
I had a Protestant friend who used to come to my Bible study every Friday night. He said the same thing. He said that he was his own Pope in charge of figuring out for himself what the Bible means. He said his church was very relaxed and never talked about Sin. He liked to the structure of the Catholic Church, the balance of focusing on sin and mercy, and the guidance that you received to live out your faith.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial There are many false churches these days . That includes the Roman catholic church.
So happy you got Steven Ray on your show, what a dynamic duo, you and him.....
Thanks so much. It was a joy. We will have him back real soon. God bless you.
All the people that bash catholics on youtube don't have the guts to actually read Catholic doctorine and theology. If they did they would not bash Catholics anymore.
Steve Ray is an amazing gifted holy man God bless you and Steve 🙏🏻🙏🏻and we’re blessed to have him in Michigan well except for the peoples Republic of Ann Arbor 🤣😂
GOD BLESS YOU BOTH
Omgosh I’m only 12 min in and this is an exciting podcast so far !
Thank you so much for your hard work 🙏🏼✝️💗
You are so welcome! God bless!
Though I have watched half yet clarity with which Steven deals with it reminds me of few Indian teachers who teach their subject with authority. Simple language, analogies and honesty are what Ray emphasizes in his reflection to nail it.
That's interesting around the 22:15 mark about having righteousness infused. When I returned to my faith I would pray to have the virtues infused in me. We all have a knee jerk paradigm that we operate from autopilot reactions without even thinking about it, a sense of right and wrong that we never really question, it's just there. So I would pray to have that purged and have the virtues infused so that my autopilot in acting and thinking would be founded in how Christ would think and act in any given situation. There is a beautiful practicality in my Catholic faith.
I learnt a lot from you guys
I was raised fundamental Baptist, and am now a catholic. Why? Because it is the church Jesus established. Because Baptist theology isn't scriptural. It's good to be home.
loving these videos!
Thanks so much for letting us know. Glad you were enjoying them. Many more to come. :-)
Printed Bibles came out some thousand of years after Jesus' Death and Resurrectuin. The reason why we Catholics have imgaes of Jesus crucified, and of the Apostles and of the saints. These are not graven images but the images of God's Son and His people on how He comes to save all nations and creation; a much easier aid to bring Faith to the people where almost all of them dont know how to read and write and to understand the written books. Thanks Mr Steve Ray. This insight came to my mind after listening your conversion story. God bless us all.
@@margaretbailey4977 man made saints! How? Who are they?
@@margaretbailey4977 impossible
@@margaretbailey4977 I'm curious, do you consider yourself to be a saint?
3:14 This is so funny to me as a Catholic because we never talk about other denominations, particularly during our Church service, like it just never comes up. So to hear that other denominations talk shit about us and that trying to discredit us is a big part of their brand is honestly hilarious because we don't give them a second thought 😂
They're the wayward, rebellious, teenage, Christian sect.
They'll get sense eventually and return home.
@@Kitiwake I hope you're right!
Defending the faith is a “brand?” Who said that it’s a my team vs your team thing? This isn’t the NFL. Truth is truth no matter what. Believers are called to test the spirit. Read Rom 12:9 as we’re also called to hate what GOD hates. Gal 1:8 says any other gospel is a curse (ie Catholicism).
@AvaNoe0199 I never said it's my team vs your team, that's how other denominations act. As I've already said, we pay no mind to other denominations.
@@cvb79 i will say that we MUST defend our hope…like Peter says:
“but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;” (1 Peter 3:15, NASB)
The prob is: there are TOO MANY FALSE hopes out there.
Stop thinking you are on the “right team.” Don’t lose your fear of GOD & keep doing DAILY self examinations of your faith.
Eventually, you will see the lack of truth behind Catholicism.
Bryan and Ray I am following your conversation on yutube and thanks God for inspiring non catholics and catholics as well. From Isabela Philippines.
May God bless you. Thank you for watching all the way from the Philippines.
This was amazing! It’s late here and I’m watching under a new account. This is Hatsheput Economics! Wow. I’m giving this video to my husband
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully your husband will too. We are recording a new one with Steve today which should be out within the next week.
Steve Ray is so so inspiring
I can listen to him for hours
All Catholic catechism teachers should be like Steve
AMEN! We have another GREAT video with Steve too after this one if you are interested.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial I’m very interested
When can I watch it?
@@vickytheodorides You may watch it here. You will really enjoy it! God bless. th-cam.com/video/fksK6b_5Iiw/w-d-xo.html
will you guys take a session to tackle the filioque? I'm an ex-vangelical who has been attending Orthodox churches for the past six months and I feel about the East the way you feel about Rome.
the big schism between is the filioque.
id really appreciate a 20 or 30 minute video explaining that, because I am deeply confused about everything now. how can the church be one church and not be wholly united?
We do plan on making a video on the Orthodox and how they broke away from the Catholic Church in 1054 A.D. We also plan to discuss the other issues as well including the filioque. We recently heard a interview on Catholic Answers with an Orthodox priest who said that the filioque is not really an issue with most Orthodox anymore. I don't know if you're interested in listening to that interview in the meantime but we thought it was a good one. So yes, the Orthodox will be a topic for the new year. Thank you for the suggestion.
yeah I'd love to see that video.
Thank you dear God for giving us Steve Ray.
He and his story is so powerful. Similarly to him, I find more of the arguments that they make and reasons for them they have, I have been unable to refute, or to get around them. Some of yours, Bryan, have been among those. Along with Keith Nester's, Trent Horn's, and, of course, Steve Ray's. Thank you for this video and what you do.
I used to have Steve's kind of dreams. But they were associated with stopping smoking😄😂
Good explanations in the true spirit of Catholicism. Congratulations.
❤️❤️✝️ thank you much needed ❤️
You are very welcome. Glad it was helpful. God bless you. We have another video interview with the same person. So if you like this video, you'll probably definitely like the other one also. You can find it here if you're interested. th-cam.com/video/fksK6b_5Iiw/w-d-xo.html
God bless you!
This was so fun! 🙏✝️
So glad you enjoyed it! We have two other videos with Steve if you are interested. :)
Absolutely AMEN brothers 🙏
I'm Protestant but I love the Catholic Church. Especially Saints and Virgin Mary
So Glad Steve Ray is on my side, he's awesome
Great Great Show both of you guys!
Thank you very much for all of your efforts. It is sad how these self proclaimed "shepherds" of the Lord lie to people. Many of them unknownly do it but they still create damage, we all members of the True Church of God must do our best effort( just like you guys) to bring them to the real truth of God.
In the Spanish speaking community we have been bless with a great teacher, Padre Luis Toro. I encourage anyone who is able to understand Spanish to check out his channel on TH-cam, he has now over 1million subscribers and you'll find out why. Padre Luis Toro has helped many, if not thousands open their eyes and heart to the truth.
God Bless You Guys! Viva Cristo Rey!
Thank you. God bless you too. Vivo Cristo Rey!
Trolling Catholics is why I'm angry at Protestantism
His store has great sales, just bought a 3 book bundle for 18 bucks
Thank God for your gift , both of you!!
Blessed, not lucky
Protestants BECOME the BEST CATHOLICS !!!
You are absolutely correct!
A priest once said that we Catholics are a strange people, we believe strange things and practice strange things. Not always easy to explain esp to closed minds. But praise God for His grace.
The reason catholics don’t talk openly about faith is because the priest does the talking... why don’t people who are curious with questions just ask a priest?
NOTES: 28:18 Ray explains how Sola Scriptura is false.
Half way through my catechism! So much content and so deep
🙌🙌
Thank you father and thank you Steve.
Without faith it is impossible to please God. He that cometh to God must believe that He is and He is a rewarder to them that ❤ dilligently seek Him.not by works of righteousness which we ave done but by His mercy He saved us.
We agree that we are saved by faith, just not faith alone. It must be a loving, working, obedient faith that lives itself out in Christ. The works Paul condemns are the works of the law, not good works. Big difference.
We were given the Corporal Works of Mercy. Feed the hungry, give drink to the Thirsty, Clothe the naked , Bury the dead remember the warning from Jesus if we dont carry out these works .
We do try to tell protestants. The problem they don't listen, but want to be heard. So, we let them be
Many of us and, and they become Catholic. :)
@@CatholicTruthOfficial be blessed my brother in Christ.
He was lost as a Baptist and sadly he is still lost as a Catholic!
He wasn't lost as a baptist, maybe he would have been if he was a mormon. But Baptists believe in jesus, and he just got a full upgrade by becoming Catholic and joining the True Church of Jesus Christ.
Half of my church are Catholics who were born again and now attend our Baptist church.
That sounds about right. So many Catholics don't know their faith, and go off to the first church of people who ask them whether it be Baptists, Mormons, or Jehovah's Witnesses. Many of them come back once they learn more. We pray for them. We might know that many Baptist preachers, Protestant pastors, and even theologians, historians, and Scholars are coming into the Catholic Church. Some of the smartest minds in the Protestant world are becoming Catholic which is very interesting.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Same can be said of Catholics opening their eyes to the truths of the Bible, praying for true salvation without works and being born again by the Holy Spirit after which they seek a genuine Bible-beliving church instead of the ritualistic. superstitious, idol worshiping one the came out of.
I may not agree with Catholicism, but I like this guy. I'd enjoy working with him.
Love it
God bless you both .. God send us instruments or messenger like you for our salvation in this world through catholic teaching and doctines , I'll pray that you can bring back a thousand people in true church established by our lord Jesus the one and holy Roman apostolic Catholic church,,, from Philippines mabuhay
Amen!
_/Steve Ray__
my Favorit Catholic Convert !!
🧡⚘
I have to defend the cradle catholics against the claim we wouldn't argue with protestants or explain our faith in a proper way. I had a group of "friends" who were members of an evangelical church. These were discussions for days, any time I was invited because they wanted me to convert. When they ran out of arguments, they handed a book to me with the title "The h... of Babylon" with a preface of an protestant pastor in which as in the whole book was explained why the Catholic Church is the H... of Babylon. So I argued good and long enough, but they didn't realy want to listen.
💯💯💯
It's a lifelong process, not just a one time thing
We tell protastants all the time. They refuse to listen
Many do, but many listen and have come home to the Catholic Church through our ministry. Praise God!
Do you have any books you can reccomend for me to get? My wife is baptist and is considering converting to Catholicism. I'd love to be her sponsor as I'm also a convert from protestant and have been Catholic for 7 years. Any suggestions will help!
17:50 through 18:01; nail on the head. How can it possibly be faith alone, just with that; nevermind other verses?
Sometime the cultural blindness of American protestants is amazing, here we had Americans bringing preaching the unknown Jesus here in Poland
We need you here in Toronto, Canada.
Steve Ray or Catholic Truth? Or both? Both Bryan and Steve would probably be more than happy to come and speak or evangelize.
31:40 fyi. I recommend the following book - Beyond the Written Word: Oral Aspects of Scripture in the History of Religion
'The concept of "scripture" as written religious text is reexamined in this close analysis of the traditions of oral use of the sacred writings of religions around the world. Pointing out the central importance of the oral and aural experience of religious texts in the life of religious communities of both Eastern and Western cultures, William Graham asserts the need for a new perspective on how scripture has been appropriated and used by the vast majority of all people who have been religious, most of whom could neither read nor write.'
The point that books were uncommon / rare before the reformation largely ignores the way the masses interacted with scripture during before that time. I think as well the people were a bit more literate than he gives them credit for. However the main issue as he notes was the cost of production. i.e. Many could read, but could not afford books.
Likewise Ray's ignorance of Luther's take on the word of God compared to other protestants is apparent. If he had read 'Resurgence of the Gospel' by T. A. Kantonen he would be more aware of Luther's strongly oral understanding of the word of God, compared to second gen reformers such as Calvin.
Thank you Catholic Truth
I would like to see those examples of how faith and works are shown throughout the Bible, cause ill take years finding it and I'm sure you can give me 10 in 2 minutes,
We can give you 10 in 2 minutes. Or more. However, we are making a video on this very soon. It's going to be one of our upcoming videos on this topic. But you can start with Matthew 25:31-46. It shows how important works are and living out your faith.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial thanks buddy
Start with Matthew 25.
Ive been in the non denominational faith for over 30 years. Forsaking Sin and dying to self is part of our faith. Not something you hear at a mega church but the small non denominational churches preach this. But salvation can be by faith alone, say you come to belief in Jesus as lord on your death bed, there was no time for works. This is why we would refuse to say works has anything to do with salvation. You can do nothing to boast in, and your works are as filthy rags, we simply want to make sure people dont get confident in their salvation just because they do good works, it could be done out of self righteousness and still their heart is far from God or their spiritual walk is cold. They could show up on judgement day saying all the works they did, even casting out demons and yet Jesus never knew them.
Among Protestants and other colts such as Jehovah’s Witness, Mormons, and Seven day Adventist. The common two themes seems to be the Catholic Church is evil and we have all the truth. I am currently a Southern Baptist. However I will be purchasing a small catechism of the Catholic Church. I will start from there with my research. Do you have any other good recommendations for church history that might be an aid. I do have a theological background.
We agree 100%, that they say the Catholic church is evil and we only are correct. Good luck in your Journey reading the catechism. We have a video on our favorite church history books if you're interested in a few recommendations. th-cam.com/video/7kF4wdin1DU/w-d-xo.html God bless.
I do have one question though: is saying that the concept of the Bible alone is not taught anywhere in the Bible a form of circular reasoning? I'm not saying the Protestants and Evangelicals are not doing it by appealing to the Timothy passage, or otherwise claiming that everything has to be found in the Bible, but aren't we Catholics engaging in circular reasoning by saying the Bible itself doesn't say to go by the Bible alone? I could be wrong, but asking honestly.
Long life for you brothers
Gotta love it!
God bless you all
God bless you also.
We are saved ONLY through the saying of Jesus in John 14:6 "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE., NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME!" so
what is the WAY?
what is the TRUTH?
what is the LIFE?
23:31 what?! If you can never be holy, then why even bother repenting or trying to improve or do any good works? Another flawed premise and doctrine of at least some of Protestantism....
Wow.... 32:30 through 35:05 ..... Incredible summary of the problems with sola scriptura. Uber well explained, Steve :) and I'll humbly admit that I didn't know about there already being German editions of the bible released before Luther was even born. So another lie I have been taught, which I resent, now that I think more about that....
I as a non-practicing Roman Catholic have no need to defend the faith because I feel no need to prove anything to anyone. You can lead a horse to water but not make it drink!
I was wondering if I have changed my mind on lots of things because God is making me holy inside. It’s been a painful struggle but for some reason I can’t watch horror movies or see nakedness without covering my eyes. I still have the feeling that I would like horror movies but I cover my eyes the whole time. I wasn’t bothered by nudity because I didn’t see people as individuals, so once I saw a naked person, to me, it was as though I saw them all. Now, if I see nudity I cover my eyes quickly. I’m a smoker and every time I smoke it’s like being flicked in the forehead. I don’t understand why I fight it, I don’t want to fight it, but something inside me does want to fight it. It’s like struggling to get inside a wetsuit or out of it. I’m not sure if I’m putting it on or taking it off.
It sounds like you're making great progress! Keep it up! Those are some very good steps. The first step is to remove the sin or the impurity, and the second and more difficult step is to not desire them anymore. Even Saint Paul says in the Bible that he doesn't do what he wants to do and he does do what he wishes he wouldn't do. All because the flesh is weak. The flesh wars with the spirit. The flesh pulls us away from God. But the more we pray, in the more we are in Christ and are closer to him, the less the darkness can have a hold on us. So keep up the good fight. You're on the right track.
Being a Baptist, or Methodist, or Presbyterian or Roman Catholic, etc. etc. makes absolutely no difference. We are all sinners in the sight of a Holy God. Your religion without God's salvation and Eternal Life in Christ Jesus, being indwelt by the Holy Spirit, will leave you just as you are - in your sins. You need to be born again of the Spirit of God, no matter where you attend. You need to be converted to God in Christ Jesus, NOT to any church system. Christendom is in ruins as regards honouring God. Christ Jesus is locked outside and the so called church is going on without Him or the Spirit's presence in their meetings.
This comment is a half truth. We agree we need to be born again and to know Jesus Christ and be saved by Him, however, it absolutely does matter where you attend. Jesus Christ who you claim to follow started only one church, not thousands of competing denominations, especially ones that were started 1500 years after He already started His church. If you love Jesus, the you would be Catholic since Jesus started the Catholic Church which has the fullness of truth. To be born again according to the Bible means to be baptized, Jn. 3:5. So, you must have faith and baptism, but you must also obey the other ordinances our Savior gave us as well, like the Lord Supper, living out your faith, following the commandments, and so on. (We have a video on being born again the _Bible_ way. th-cam.com/video/sjc9rCFt9co/w-d-xo.html)
@@CatholicTruthOfficial I see Catholic 'truth' has not changed. You are still taking half of the scriptures and misapplying it and then leaving the rest of the scripture out. The verse says except a man be born of water AND of the Spirit he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. For starters being born of water means believing the word of the gospel. Ephesians ch. 5 v 26 says The he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of the water by the word. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish.
The scripture actually says also 'except a man be born again he cannot SEE the kingdom of God.' Being born again means being born completely afresh in a new way, from God. Unless you are born again and quickened by God you will never understand His word. The Spirit of God works in the heart of the sinner, convicts of sin,, shows Christ as the answer to our problem, draws us to Christ for the forgiveness of sins, then that same Spirit indwells the believer and we are born of the Spirit.
Having water thrown round you accomplishes nothing at all. Believers baptism is when you, as a converted sinner take you place by faith as dead with Christ to the world and that you life is now in Christ Jesus who is raised from the dead and is the first born from among the dead, a new creation.
If you are dead to the world and sin by faith, there is no point in trying to clean up the fleshly body as all your acceptance is in Christ Jesus and not in yourself. Being 'saved' is being kept by grace through faith with the blessed assurance in your heart that you are a child of God and ready for Heaven.
Is it any wonder that millions of devout Roman Catholics have not got assurance of Eternal Life in Christ Jesus, when your doctrine is no where near correct.
Well Sola scriptura is a biblical doctrine according to 2 Timothy 3:16
Sola Scriptura is not taught in 2 Tim. 3:16. That verse is talking about the Old Testament. So, by your logic, the Old Testament is the final authority. We debunk that verse in these videos.

If you search by Google the Bible means scripture
And according to the Bible the people tested their teaching according to the old testament so they also become equal to them because they include them
The epistles and the gospels are also taken as scripture
Don't you know history
This debunks the rosary according to 2 Timothy 2:5 And 1John 2:1-2
So this means only He can hear our prayers
The Bible says Mary was a sinner in the Magnificat
The wages of sin is death
The soul that sinneth it shall die
you just come chat and did not even see the video if so you didnt so that vers, they went on that piont , sure your are a prostant like protest without hearing other side, Jesus said the one has ears let them hear, well solo faith is in james 2:24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
“I just realized, I’m a Catholic”
Relatable
Thank you 🙏
I just attended a training session for sharing the gospel in which several recent converts from Catholicism to Christianity were present. They were Hispanic believers and have been instrumental in leading their siblings, nieces, nephews and cousins to Christ here in the Houston area. It is happening everywhere as they read the Bible and find the truth of the gospel for themselves. So, highlighting one former Baptist joining the Catholic church is small potatoes. Praying more and more will find Jesus Christ and place their faith in Christ's atoning death on the cross and His resurrection from the dead and stop relying on works that will not save. Salvation is a GIFT from God. Ephesians 2:8-9. It can't be earned; it is by grace that anyone is saved through faith alone in Christ alone.
The big difference is that most ex-Catholics had no idea what they believed before left Play Rise this man in this video studied with the top Protestant minds of his day, has read dozens of books, and done research more than all of those Catholics combined. That's why the Catholic church is drawing in Protestant pastors, heads of protestant seminaries, and most of the people who leave the Catholic Church don't know the least thing about it.
Look up, The Coming Home Network online and you will see countless Protestants, atheists, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, evangelicals, and more all coming into the True Church of Jesus Christ, the original Christian Church, the Catholic Church.
Catholics are Christians.
Without faith you cannot bear the fruit known as faithful love which is the clearest indicator that you are saved. So Sola Fide is totally right if you know what faith is i.e. acceptance and trust that God loves you faithfully even though you don't faithfully love Him.
That is the essence of the Christian faith.
We agree that without faith you cannot bear fruit. But if you have faith and you don't live it out, you won't be saved. You need a living, working, obedient faith that lives itself out for Christ. That's not faith alone. If a faith does not have Works which God commands us to walk in, Ephesians 2:10, then we will not be saved. Feel free to prove any of Steve's passages that he said wrong.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial you cannot have faith and not live it out because faith is a motive. It answers the question, "Why am I doing this"? Because I trust that God faithfully loves me. We react to having faith by doing the works of God - fruit of the Holy Spirit, works of mercy, beatitudes, etc. They are not actions! Though faith may also be used to describe religious dogmas and religious tradition. Sola fide describes saving faith which is the motive. And yes without it you don't have a relationship with God. Confusing the various definitions with this "faith" is the result of people claiming Sola Fide is wrong.
@@hesedagape6122 you can have faith and not act on it, just the same way your kids tell you they are going to do something and they end up not doing it, to bring it close to you Jesus said unless you eat my body and drink my blood you have no life in you. Do you do all that he said or not?
@@johnosumba1980 faith is a motive. It is a thought that leads to action. You are describing belief. Faith is evidenced by the actions it produces.
@@hesedagape6122 then what do you make of the verse that say faith without works is dead? Does it not mean having faith is one thing and working on it is a different thing. It is seems like you are those who believe that to be saved is a one time thing that does not need continuous work and perseverance. And most probably don’t believe that you loose it.
If you ever want to puncture Protestantism please do rebuttals on Matt Slick and his carm website.

Quite sure Steve came out of the womb with that hat on.
Lol
What is the best bible to have /read?
I just joined the Church but I read a Douay-Rheims and I have a New American Bible Revised edition, the Douay Rheims uses a lot of the older english because it was a translation from the late 16th and very early 17th century, some slight updates were done to it in 1752 though (it’s slightly older than the KJV and is a direct translation of of the Latin Vulgate) but the New American Bible Revised Edition is the one that is used for Mass Readings and it’s great as well, the RSV Catholic Edition is great too!!!
So many people leaning on their religion for salvation.
Correction. So many people relying on Jesus Christ and following the church he started.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Catholic is the first church. Not Roman catholic church. Big difference.
No, actually is the same thing. There is no such thing as the Roman Catholic Church.
You must come to the Lord as a little child...
