FINALLY! Someone who, when asked if they think they're a good person, says "no". This young lady is closer to understanding the truth than many. You cannot approach God without a humble heart.
Honorable Vessel That’s because she’s a Catholic. Catholics and born again Christians are not that far apart in what they believe, at least not as far apart as people who don’t believe in anything or believe in new age thought.
@@Kwelar Catholics and true Christians have no more in common than Christians and pagans. Most atheists have a better chance of finding salvation than a typical Catholic does.
@@honorablevessel What do you mean by your last comment "atheists have a better chance"? Please explain. Thanks.
Rosalinda Worsham is there such thing as “born again Catholic?”
Rosalinda Worsham ohhh
This young woman has a tender heart, the first step to hear God's voice.
She has a humble teachable spirit. I love that she told Ray, "Thank you for spreading the Word!"
C PEACE teaching what? How to divorce the true catholic church ? No thanks.... people who left Catholic Church was because they didn’t know it. Catholic Church founded by Jesus.... the rest? Anyone.
As do I. Catholics are great, peaceful and loving people. But, they have been deceived. Sadly, only minimal emphasis is placed on Jesus and his teachings in Catholic services.
@@toti35 He just told her what the Bible says. If you believe that isn't truth, then you don't believe the Bible. Which is fine. Many people don't believe the Bible. They aren't Christians, though.
@Lay Apostle 2 Search the scriptures to see if it is true.
@@czellner5894 And who is the emphasis on? As a Catholic I hear the Bible Quoted 70 or more times at Mass. The Mass itself comes directly from Mattews Gospel The last supper. Acts , Luke and Ist Corinthians also Show the Catholic method of worship come right out of the Bible, a Catholic Book
“Thank You For, Spreading The Word!” That last sentence she spoke! Wow! Amen!
She is probably one of the most transparent people you have interviewed.
@Lay Apostle 2 Indeed
Hello
br1anm150k The Bible saith that the Harlot has sins and sisters and we should come out of her, If the Ten Commandments is the guide, which of the ten that she and her sisters broke
br1anm150k What is it that makes him the beast, or what sin does he commit
👍
At least she's honest about it. So many people, including churchgoers, try to hide it and act like they're good Christians.
I agree because when i was working the church goers were the worst
Romans 3:10 there is none righteous, no not one.... 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 so if we say we are good, this is a lie. 🤐🤐🤐
@@staceynagamine748 , before receiving the grace of God no one seeks God, no one is righteous. "There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil" Job 1:1; "And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless." Luke 1:6. We have to believe the Lord, we don't have to believe Luther/Calvin's theology. They were wrong: : "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible" Mat. 19:26. God can do it, God can do it. He is Almighty.
That girl melted my heart, what a sweetheart. May she find peace with God❤️
You not alone ☺️🙏❤️🌸
@@Virst82 , yes she is a so sweet, but "Living Water" profited she is not prepared to defend the Catholic theology from the Protestant propaganda. To start with, she could have answered that baptism is not our work.We have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his (Romans 6:3-5). It is really hard to fight crafted strawmen which are fabricated to deceive people who are no trained for that propaganda.
I have been told this: "She’s also no Catholic. She was on a podcast recently and is a Calvinist. She may have been a cradle Catholic as a child and never understood Catholicism." If that is so, the sweet girl is an actress making up smart anti-Catholic propaganda.
@@Alfredo8059 I’m astonished, and saddened, that so many Roman Catholics choose to ignore actual Biblical Scripture (or just don’t know it) and support a church (lowercase) that purports to be followers of Christ and of His Bible, yet has DANGEROUSLY departed from actual Biblical Christian doctrine in MANY CRITICAL areas! If Roman Catholicism claims to follow Christ and His Bible, then start teaching and FOLLOWING the Bible. Stop teaching things that CONTRADICT what The Bible actually says.
We really shouldn’t need to even be having this discussion. Who would have thought that simply FOLLOWING THE BIBLE would be controversial for Christians? If we as Christians claim to be followers of Christ then FOLLOW WHAT HIS BIBLE SAYS! The Bible needs NO additions. It needs NO subtractions. If the Bible says it, believe it and own it! If something speaks CONTRARY to The Bible we are called as Christians to “contend for the faith” and speak out AGAINST heresy.
“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”
Jude 1:3
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”
Ephesians 5:11
If we claim to be followers of Christ, simply follow and believe what He said was true! Trust in HIM, NOT in man made “religion”
Following is a summarized paragraph with references found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) of many of the false teachings of Roman Catholicism. How do we know they are false? By comparing Scripture with what is taught.
The Catholic Church is the one true church (CCC 2105), Infallibility of the Catholic Church, (CCC 2035), Only the Roman Catholic Church has authority to interpret Scripture (CCC 100), The Pope is the head of the church and has the authority of Christ (CCC 2034), The Roman Catholic Church is necessary for salvation (CCC 846), Sacred Tradition equal to scripture (CCC 82), Forgiveness of sins, salvation, is by faith and works (CCC 2036 CCC 2080 2068), Full benefit of Salvation is only through the Roman Catholic Church (Vatican 2, Decree on Ecumenism, 3), Grace can be merited (CCC 2010 CCC 2027), The merit of Mary and the Saints can be applied to Catholics and others (1477), Penance is necessary for salvation (CCC 980), Purgatory (CCC 1031 CCC 1475), Indulgences (CCC 1471 CCC 1478 CCC 1498 CCC 1472), Mary is Mediatrix (CCC 969), Mary brings us the gifts of eternal salvation (CCC 969), Mary delivers souls from death (CCC 966), Prayer to the saints (CCC 2677), The Communion elements become the actual body and blood of Christ (CCC 1374 CCC 1376).
At the Council of Trent, the Roman Catholic Church literally declared the Gospel that JESUS AND THE APOSTLES preached..... an anathema.
In Session 6. Canons XXIV, IX, XII, XVIII, XIX, XX, XXVII, XXIX, XXX, and XXII. I urge everyone to look these up.
The Bible says.....
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”
Galatians 1:8-9
Rome ABSOLUTELY preaches a “different gospel” and is guilty of this passage from Galatians.
ACCURSED! That’s a pretty serious charge. Those are The Apostle Paul’s God Inspired words.
The Bible disagrees with MANY of Roman Catholicism’s teachings. Rome’s problem is with THE BIBLE, not me. I’m simply praying for you that you see the beautiful Light and Glory of the pure and true gospel before it’s too late. I didn’t write the message, I’m simply a messenger.
Satan has blinded the eyes of millions and millions of Catholics. I pray for them often..........
Lastly,
Below is a post I copied from the “pope”. Anyone who actually does study the Bible will know how incredibly unbiblical and wrong it is.
“Mary is not only the bridge joining us to God; she is more. She is the road that God travelled to reach us, and the road that we must travel in order to reach him”.
This blasphemous statement was written on the “pope’s” Twitter account. March 25th 2021 at 5:31 am. I urge everyone to look it up for themselves.
It is not only unbiblical but is an absolute insult to The Lord Jesus Christ.
My heart breaks for the millions of people that Roman Catholicism has blinded. I pray that you see God’s truth before it’s too late. Said in love to all Roman Catholics, you are being deceived.
@@AVKingJamesBible, You should know a basic Catholic doctrine: Public revelation ceased with the death of the last Apostle ( Saint John, ca. AD 100). Thank you for sharing your views. With all due respect, first, you take some phrases out of context. Second, you read them according to your own theology, biases,prejudices and assumptions. It is no the Scripture that disagrees with Catholic teaching, it's your interpretation of what you read that disagrees with Catholic teachings. So, the important question: Is your reading comprehension infallible? And implied to that question is : Do your assumptions have any authority whatsoever? As a Catholic I am told that if a teaching contradicts Scripture, that teaching must be wrong. Catholic teachings surely contradict your understanding of some passages of Scripture, but it does not mean that they contradict Scripture. I am going to address one claim you make: "The Catholic Church is the one true church (CCC 2105). Catholic means " of all (Jews and Gentiles) The Church is the body of Christ, so there is only one Catholic Church, one faith, one Lord. (Eph. 4:5-8). In Protestantism you have as many faiths as leaders you have. Heresy is that special moment when a proud man/woman believes to have greater spiritual insight than the Apostles, Disciples, Apostolic Fathers, the Church and the Magisterium because that proud man/woman has a Bible that they wrote, compiled and gave him/her. Is your interpretation of Scripture better than Saint Augustine's? Better than Ignatius of Antioch's ? Better than Justin Martyr's? they were Catholic and they read the Bible as Catholics do. You surely read the Bible as your Protestant leader taught you how to mis-read it. . God bless you
@@Alfredo8059 with due respect, you either don’t actually read the Bible or you don’t actually know all that Roman Catholicism teaches.
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
2 Corinthians 4:3-4
I pray you see the light before it’s too late for you. I can’t make you believe. I can only point you to God’s Bible and pray for you which I will. I wish you well.
“Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.”
Acts 20:26-27
Love how she's always smile whenever she speaks.
🤔
yes she always smiles whenever hespeaks, but "Living Water" profited she was not prepared to defend the Catholic theology from his anti-Catholic propaganda. To start with, she could have answered that baptism is not our work. We have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his (Romans 6:3-5). It is really hard to fight crafted strawmen which are fabricated to deceive people who are no trained for that propaganda. She smiles, I hope she was not deceived by the propaganda.
@@Alfredo8059 Catholics pray to Mary and call their pastors “Father” which we are explicitly told not to in the Bible. You should not pray to a human even if that human was the mother of the messiah. You pray to God. Catholicism is not the truth, it goes against the Bible, therefore I can’t defend it
@@Hello-hn9kq , you , or your teachers, clearly misunderstand both, Scripture and Catholic doctrines. "Pray" is a matter of semantics and communion of saints. About "father": Saint Paul in 1 Cor. 4:14-15 claims for himself the title "father" in the spirirual sense. Is your interpretation of Matt.23:9 incorrect or is St Paul sinning. What I find consistent with Protestants (individual and teachers) is thay they proudly will take a verse from the Bible and isolate it (according to some one's pride and unlearned "wisdom") out of context and attempt to make it stand on its own. Pride, ignorance and unstableness: What a dangerous mix!!! "As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction." 2 Peter 3:16. Why do Protestantism contradict the early Church Fathers understanding of Scripture? "Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble." 1 Peter 5:5. When a proud Protestant says that this or that Catholic teaching is contrary to a particular passage of Scripture, what he/she is actually saying is that this or that Catholic teaching is contrary to his/her fallible understanding of that particular passage of Scripture. Do you really believe your assumptions, prejudices, reading comprehension, biases .... and opinions inspired? What a pride!! God bless you. May the Lord open your eyes and mind.
@@Alfredo8059 Paul writes “I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.”
1 Corinthians 4:14 KJV
He says this because he is the father of the church, because he spent the majority of his lifetime building the church literally from the ground up. He traveled impossible distances and was stoned, shipwrecked and faced many other obstacles.
“For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.”
1 Corinthians 4:15 KJV
He says that through Jesus he has begotten us, through the gospel. We were reborn under him, though Christ Jesus. Born Again. I don’t think he is claiming the be our father, but rather the father of the church in general, as if anyone does truly deserve that title it is him.
MATT. 23:8 “But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. MATT. 23:9 “Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. MATT. 23:10 “Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ.
Rabbi is a name for teacher, and you have one teacher, as simply put in verse 8.
You have one father, as simply put in verse 9.
We have only one leader, as is quite simply written in verse 10.
Even if I’m just not understanding correctly, and Paul did refer to himself plainly as our father, then he is wrong. I believe Jesus’ word over a man’s word any day. But I respect Paul tremendously and I don’t think he would claim to be our father in that respect, I think he truly meant father of the body of the church because he built it all, as he was instructed to by the teacher, who is the Lord.
As for prayer, Mary was a sinner as well, and she had to be saved as well. If Jesus wanted us to pray to Mary I believe he would have said so and I don’t think that this (verse below) would have happened.
“While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
Matthew 12:46-50 KJV
Jesus did not view the biological relationships between families as with much value, as is evident in many instances throughout the gospel, as he doesn’t even allow those who wish to follow him to say goodbye to their families or to bury their relatives. He says “let the dead bury their dead”.
Jesus was a man, like the rest of us, but he was also the son of God, and he was sent here like the Lamb sacrifice similar to what was done in the Old Testament
“and Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: and the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.”
Leviticus 16:21-22 KJV
Jesus is the lamb who was slain, who had the sins of the world placed onto his head. He was crucified and was dead for 3 days, before rising up. Whatever he says, I believe. If you can find a scripture which says that we should or even can pray to Mary, please tell me, because I am willing to learn as long as I know it is true. I don’t aim to be prideful, but I have to stand by what is the foundation of truth which is the word, and if the “Catholic doctrine” goes against even a single thing which is uttered from the mouth of God, I do not believe it and I will not follow it. I suggest you take a step away from Catholicism and truly determine what the scriptures mean to you, because you seem like a man after truth, and I want to help you get there. Shed your presuppositions and humble yourself to learn what God is trying to tell us.
“Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest at any time they should see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And should understand with their heart, And should be converted, and I should heal them.”
Matthew 13:13-15 KJV
I listen to Jesus before any religion, and the Jews valued their rules and regulations over their God. Even when Jesus was removed from his tomb by the angel of the lord, when the Roman soldiers guarding the tomb reported to the religious leaders what had happened, they paid them not to speak a word of truth, and to say that the disciples came and got them. They were truly prideful and unwilling to admit they were wrong, don’t be like them. And I pray that I don’t become prideful and if I have become prideful already then I pray that I lose that pride. Please incline your ears to the words of Jesus instead of to the doctrines of your religion.
I had a dream, about 1 to 2 years ago, I had a dream that I was running away from people dressed in black, covered in all black. I was running so fast to get away from them. I then ran into this stadium, and went into a room. When I came into the room there was a light, and all the people that were running after stoped suddenly. I then stopped and turned, I said to myself “why did they stop running” I turned back to look, and the sky was parting. I had never seen such a beautiful thing in my life. It was like colors of space in the galaxy. And then a white light. The light was blinding. I then looked the the right of myself, and an angel stood next to me. He had on armor. And I said to him “ Am I going to heaven, is God coming to save me?!” And he didn’t answer me. I saw then A man on a white horse. I couldn’t really see his face. But I knew who he was. He was JESUS. Remember the Bible says that the Lord will come down on a white horse. So when I saw him I was shocked. I was asking him “ are you here to save me, am I going to heaven?”. When I woke up, I jolted out my my sleep. I was immediately in tears. I am sharing this with you all because I am a Christian. Every morning I pray, I can’t get up without praying or else I feel like I’m not good inside, I also spread to word on tumblr, everyday when I read plans on the Bible app. I love God with every fiber in my Body. God says to confess your sins to one another. I struggle with sexual sin and I don’t want to idolize anyone. There was a time when I gave my life up to Christ, and I was struggling still with sexual sin, I prayed for forgive every time, but I still ended up doing it over again. I told God that I don’t deserve to be a called a child of him. I ask of you please to pray for me. I pray that God heals me. I feel lost at times. The enemy tries to fill my thought with lies and tries for me to curse God, and make me think against God, and tries to trick me in saying things that I don’t mean. Please pray for me. Amen
Nelly B I can relate to you so much when it comes to committing the same sin again, and no, I don't think we deserve to be called children of God b/c he's too good to us. What's interesting about your dream is that you said you couldn't see Jesus's face. I've heard many dreams about people seeing Jesus but not being able to see his face. I feel like its something that reminds me he is real, b/c no one has ever seen his face. I'd love to hear more about your dream and I'm going to pray for you.
Dm me on IG @iblamenorman
Kendia Norman thank you so much! I pray that God will bless you and will use you as a vessel to spread his word!
No one sees his face and live to tell about it. May the Lord deliver you from that Affliction in Jesus name. Amen.
You can pray along with the videos of Siniour Prophet TB Joshua. They really work miracles if you believe that distance is not a barrier. God bless us.
Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. Desire comes when something is lacking. Be filled with the spirit. Hunger and thirst for righteousness. Your food is to do God's will. We are made in God's image. God is Love. When you do not love deeply from the heart, you become empty. Your human nature will seek a substitute for love. That is why it is addictive. That is also why fornication is idolatry, because you substitute a desire for a created image in place of the desire for God.
Brother Please read 2 cor.12:9.
What a beautiful women, I was Catholic, I didn't understand what being born again meant either, despite going through all the Sunday School classes, first Communion, confirmation, going to church every Sunday. It wasn't until I understood Christ and put my faith in Him that I was born again, and set free. Praise God for the work He will do in this girl's heart after this meeting.
sarah s You don’t understand being born again as a catholic because Catholics do not believe in it.
oksills

Praise God Almighty for the greatest miracle anyone may receive.
From a brother to a sister,
God bless you and yours.
I grew up in the Catholic church and my husband would ask me questions about the Catholic doctrine. I began reading my bible daily, looking for answers to his questions. He pointed me to 1 Timothy 2:5 and reading that verse was life changing.
oksills why wouldn’t Catholics believe in John 3:3?
Religion cannot save, but your *Relationship* with *Jesus Christ* can!
@@tomaschacko
Mat 18 is explaining Church protocol for disfellowship, not forgiveness of sins.
God forgives our sins when we confess and repent 1 John 1:9
The Catholic Church is bulit on Idolatry of Mary.
The Bible says Mary was not sinless, she did not stay a virgin all her life, she is not a co-redeemer or a mediator between God and man. The Bible also says Mary is not yet in heaven. I don't understand why people believe any Church over the written word of God.
@@godistruth3411 First off tell me John 20:21-23 doesn't show Christ giving the Apostles the authority to forgive sins. Second you have no evidence anywhere for what you claim the Bible says. Third the New Testament is a creation of the Catholic Church in 393 AD Council of Hippo and 397 Council of Carthage. You trust the Church to give you your Bible you should trust it to interpret it for you. Especially since the authority lies in Apostolic Succession alone.
@@strive4252
Mary was not sinless..All have sinned. Rom 3:23
Mary and Joseph had at least seven children. Mat 13:55-56 👈
Mary is not a co-redeemer.
KJV Acts 4
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Mary is not a mediator between God and man.
KJV 1 Timothy 2
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
KJV John 16
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
We know how it is with the papal power. The people have no right to interpret the Scriptures for themselves. They must have someone else interpret the Scriptures for them. Have you no mind? Have you no reason? Has not God given judgment to the common people just as well as He has to the priests and rulers? When Christ, the Lord of life and glory, came to our world, if they had known Him, they never would have crucified Him. God had told them to search the Scriptures: “In them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me”
God help us to be Bible students. Until you can see the reason for it yourself and a “thus saith the Lord” in the Scriptures, don’t trust any living man to interpret the Bible for you. And when you can see this, you know it for yourself, and know it to be the truth of God. You will say, “I have read it, I have seen it, and my own heart takes hold upon it, and it is the truth God has spoken to me from His Word.” Now this is what we are to be-individual Christians. We need to have an individual, personal experience.
It is our duty as a Christian to test all teachings.
And since it was the Spirit of God that inspired the Bible, it is impossible that the teaching of the Spirit should ever be contrary to that of the word.
The Spirit was not given--nor can it ever be bestowed--to supersede the Bible; for the Scriptures explicitly state that the word of God is the standard by which all teaching and experience must be tested. Says the apostle John, "Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." 1 John 4:1
KJV 1 John 2
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
The Rock is Christ, not Peter.
KJV 1 Corinthians 10
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
KJV 2 Timothy 2
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
God is truth - if a baby dies what sin has it committed if all have sinned?
God is truth where in the Bible does it say Mary was not sinless? Full of grace sounds pretty sinless to me. Catholics do not worship Mary or statues. We love Mary! Do you display a nativity scene at Christmas? Do you wear a cross necklace? I encourage you to visit Catholic answers or call or write in with your questions or arguments. They dedicate many episodes to non-Catholics and answer questions.
I was born Catholic and I’m now born again. I’m now a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ and making other disciples of Jesus and talking to Jesus 24/7
Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be forevermore forgiven and saved for eternal with Jesus in Paradise ❤
Baptism is not rebirth? That's because Protestants don't know what baptism is. It is a SACRAMENT.
So what about the influx of born again Protestants converting to orthodoxy?
If you were baptized Catholic you were born again at baptism. That’s the Catholic interpretation of John 3 with Jesus and Nicodemus. Did you know that the Catholic Church determined, out of dozens of gospels and hundreds of epistles, which were divinely inspired and canonized them into the Bible? The Catholic Church started by Jesus that the Holy Spirit gave the authority to determine what the Bible says also gave the authority to determine what those words mean. This guy means well, but has no authority and his interpretation is in error.

She has already dedicated her life to the Lord.
@@virtuousglean7216 If she genuinely asked Jesus to come into her heart then, yes, but most catholics never hear from their 'priests' that they must be *born again* and that's sad / scary, because being born again (of the Holy Spirit of God) *is the only way to be actually saved.* It's so simple, too: Ask Jesus to come into your heart, and He enters if you're genuinely open. Many of these denominations are misleading (subtly, as the serpent deceived Eve, just like Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 11:3) millions to not realize the *SIMPLICITY* in knowing Christ Jesus unto true Salvation -> being born again of Jesus' Holy Spirit.
Remember, in John 3 (read it), Jesus said the *(Holy) SPIRIT* goes where He Wills. That means this is a literal re-birth in the Spirit of God in our hearts. Being born again of the Holy Spirit is a literal event. Back in 1996, I simply prayed and asked Jesus to come into my heart and I literally *FELT* Him enter, and the moment this happened, I burst into tears of overwhelming joy and love and peace! Before praying, I did not expect to actually feel something, but I did! He's literally there right now in my chest. :) I had an experience last year, where He reminded me of this, too:
*JESUS is my Treasure!* One morning I woke up quite suddenly at around 5 o'clock; in the moment, I was given a vision of what looked like a *white mist* slowly swirling in my chest. I saw Him for around 3 seconds. Then the words spoken to me: *"I'm still here." :)* in this tender-loving voice. Right after I heard that, I put my hands over my heart and said to Jesus: *"YOU'RE MY HIDDEN TREASURE!" :D* - I was so overjoyed! :) He revealed His presence to me so unexpectedly! I saw His Holy Spirit! :)

I've read and heard many testimonies of ex-catholics claiming that their priests never told them about being BORN AGAIN! That's astounding because being born again is *THE ONLY WAY* to enter into the Kingdom of God! I'd urge all catholics to get out of catholicism. Its head elite are satanic cultists. Just google image search: *VATICAN HALL* and see that big serpent face? satanic cultists. Now the pope is trying to form a one world religion and government. It's like he's TRYING to be the false prophet written of in the book of Revelation. We're in the end times, please simply accept Jesus into your heart right now. It's that simple. Get away from doctrines of men. Salvation is simplicity in Christ Jesus, knowing Him, having Him in your heart. That's it. :)
P.S. It's not we who dedicate our 'lives' to Christ Jesus. It's *Christ Jesus* Who dedicates *His LIFE* to us... when we become born again of the Holy Spirit of God. :)
She seemed so open and honest. Very refreshing in this day and age. I am praying for her.
she's so humble
I'm gonna be praying for her everyday

Her heart is open and she is honest and sincere.
"She’s also no Catholic. She was on a podcast recently and is a Calvinist. She may have been a cradle Catholic as a child and never understood Catholicism.".
@Taylor Rowe , amen. I am a Catholic, too. God bless you
@Taylor Rowe ,Protestants are ignorant of Catholicism and therefore misunderstand the Scriptures, too. God bless you.
The difference between her and most of born again christian is that she is honest and not a hypocrite.
If you a hypocrite than you’re not really truly born again
PainToTheWorld no human being is perfect even those who are ‘born again’ the baptist way are imperfect and sin.
@@paintotheworld8445 Have you not read? When Jesus ate with the sinners in matthew's house, the pharasees said "why does this man eat with sinners?" and Jesus said a healthy man is in no need of a physician, but the sick.
Believers in Jesus' blood atonement are a body of ill people in a hospital. Blighted by various illnesses that the great doctor (Jesus) only can fully heal.
Sounds like you got the wrong gospel, Paul the apostle warns against these kinds and it sounds like you're on of them. If not at the very worse a works righteous person.
Repent and believe in the Gospel.
@@kaizze8777 but what about the people who been in the hospital for way too long and there still not better?? Is Jesus having a hard time? No ,instead Jesus was never really their doctor, because Jesus work is always in progress on the TRUE BELIEVER.. Jesus calls the sinners yes.. but not to stay sinners but to be converted
Everyone is hypocritical.
I love when Ray says, “It’s not enough to believe in a parachute, you need to trust it. Trusting Jesus means letting him have full control over your life. I still control my life in so many ways. I do it unconsciously. And things never work out. When I say, ‘God, you guide, I’ll follow, things fall into place. It’s so weird! But so true and magical. I love my God. God, help me trust in you too. I need that most.

She is humble and honest, just a matter of time before she's touched by God's grace
I don't know, what you are saying would seem to suggest to me that some people deserve God's grace more than others. It seems to contradict the very word "grace" which means undeserved favor, undeserved being the key word.

Mary was blessed, but she is not a mediator.

Mary is not a co-redeemer

Deus Vult “the perfectly-valid criticisms of Catholicism is VERY TELLING.” We definitely don’t hear that faux defense all the time and it’s definitely not the spiritual equivalent of “why do you care so much?” ::: That, and the weak defense of “it’s been an institution for soooo looooong.” Duration has nothing to do with accuracy and everything to do with prestige which is worldly. Don’t eat meat, wash migrant feet, worship the sun, lead the charge in global warming hoax, etc. Communion is saying Christ’s sacrifice wasn’t good-enough the first time, what a statement. Confession is saying Jesus lied when He said “I have torn the veil” and “no one gets to the FATHER (only God is spiritual father) unless by me.” Saying the pope is infallible goes against Christ who said “why call me good? no man is good but God” and good means “morally perfect.” Claiming any human has that power is idolatrous.
2nd commandment is “thou shalt not make no graven images.” Catholics took that out cause they kept getting called-out and asked questions. The 9th commandment is “thou shalt not covet thy neighbor.” That means covet ANYTHING your neighbor has... money, kids, house, wife... Catholic Church snakily divides 9 into 9 and 10: “thou shalt not covet they neighbor’s goods” and “thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife.” /// Coveting thy neighbor’s wife falls under COVET in general and the splitting of the 9th commandment is desecrating God’s words and “laws.” But yeah, it’s definitely “God’s preferred church.” Wake up.

She represents the majority of Catholics who are lost in the traditions of men - confessing to a human priest, forbid priests and nuns to marry contrary to scriptures, praying to and worshiping mary, the supposed holy, mother of god ( play on words ), the perpetual sinless virgin ( not according to the bible ) and have the pope as the head of the church instead of Jesus.
@@kevinrtres You are so wrong on the above impressions of Catholicism. We DO NOT worship Mary. We view her as our spiritual mother here on Earth, and ask her to intercede, or pray for us, (as you would ask a friend to pray for you). If she was good enough for Jesus Christ, she's good enough for me! Also, at the foot of the cross, Jesus gave us his mother. He said, Disciple, behold your mother, Mother, behold your son...(I paraphrase). Mary was conceived without Original sin. Most of the "Hail Mary", (the first half) are words that comes directly from the Bible! In the second half, we ask Mary to pray for us at the hour of our death. Don't you pray for people when they ask?? The Pope is the head interpreter of our Church, with the foundation being Christ. there are approx. 33,000 different religions. I believe our Lord wanted the Bible to be interpreted one (right) way. Only in the interpretation of the Bible, is the Pope infallible. Peter was our first Pope. He was given the power to loose and bind, along with all the other successors. Peace!
@@kevinrtres wait a minute....didnt Jesus give Peter the 'keys' and make him the Rock the church on earth would be built upon? Didnt Jesus say to confess our sins to one another? How is the young woman's confessing to a priest (another follower) any different? Finally, why can't we ask members of the Body of Christ (including those in Heaven--like Mary) to pray FOR us/intercede FOR us??

Thank you for your great encouragement
Thank You all at Living Waters, you are making a difference in many lives
I think she initially thought "born again" meant reincarnation, which would make sense why she said no.
As I understand ...Catholics don’t believe in “born again” they believe in “Conversion” if you felt born again is would be that you didn’t truly believe-understand when first told then later realized the truth.
And when pushed further she said Baptism...but for one not reading scripture regularly, she wasn't to convinced, especially as he quoted the text partially to fit his narrative. It clearly says "born of water and the spirit": baptism
I thought the same thing
Jesus said "Ye must be BORN AGAIN"
@@kennethshull6331 ...of water and the spirit: ie baptism. The bible wasn't written in sound bites...quote the whole text and context...and identify the consequences. The bishops who canonised the bible were very intentional in what was let into the canon to give the full context

@@davidn9518 Christ left us the Word of God. You obey and love by every word that comes out of the mouth of God.(Bible) you don't pick and choose what you want just because you don't agree with it. Jesus left us teachings and he never taught us Catholicism.
From men like this? everything he spoke to her is pure Gospel, not Roman traditions and laws. I'm Latin American so I was indoctrinated into the Catholic church from birth. As an adult I saw so many flaws and non-biblical beliefs in the church that it forced me to leave. It's like the church carried my relationship with God so I didn't have to carry any burdens nor be accountable for my sins. As a born again Christian I go directly to Jesus (not Mary, not saints, not priests) and He enables me to repent and grow in the Spirit. I have to say, being a catholic was easy, you get to sin all week because on Sunday I get to confess anyways (if i practiced it). What a joke the catholic church has made of the gospel. Shameful. My own siblings have turned against me because I'm now a Protestant and that's a crime in the eyes of Catholics. But I know exactly why. They are indoctrinated. Men love their traditions more than to know Jesus personally. I got baptized as a baby but that's not biblical, so i got baptized again at 27 when I actually knew why I was doing it. Getting freed from the catholic church is more difficult than an atheist becoming Christian. After all, its easier to open the eyes of the blind than to open the eyes of those who claim to see.
What an open, sweet young lady. Very honest. I pray that she will be saved.

Nice girl, she was very honest and did not try to pretend she was without sin. It's tough when you are raised Catholic, it's not just a belief system, it's a culture.
A culture of indoctrination.
It's not just a belief system, it's a cult.
Fixed. When you are made to worship/put your faith false idols (beads, statues of Mary, Pendants of Saints.. etc) and are taught that tradition > direct relationship with God... They got systematic problems.

Check your bible in the book of numbers chapter 21:8 you see the use of sacramentals. The instruction from God to create a bronze serpent anyone who looked at it after being bitten by snakes would not die then. No the Catholic Church is not "a cult" nowhere in the teachings of the church Catholic Church does it promote Idolatry. The use of icons is not giving them worship. You are also wrong in implying that the church tradition is greater than our worship of the Holy Trinity.
@@barrymcgrath4303 Catholics miss the whole point of that incident. That incident was symbolizing Jesus' own death and Him becoming sin in humanity's stead, which is pictured by the bronze snake. No prophet or apostle has ever instituted the use of sacraments. Even when Israel looked at the snake, it was because God specifically told them to do it, not because it was supposed to become an instituted tradition.
I was Catholic when my child was born early and was in intensive care dying. The monsegniour knew me because I sang in the choir every Sunday. I called the church office asking for a visit from a priest to pray with me, and baptize my child. They stated that they were too busy, but that ANYONE could baptize my baby...that I could even do it! That's what really caused me to seek God in his Word (thank you Catholic Church!). My parents were offended when I left the Catholic Church, and I was shunned. And the hatred from my earthly parents enabled me to learn about my true Father and mother😊. To God be the glory!
Her end words were "Thank you for spreading the word". ♥️
@@scienceandbible4298 Stop spreading this! We already know this. It's the Gospel.
The Gospel is not about justification as a legal fiction by faith alone (faith alone, before or apart charity is nothing according to 1 cor. 13:2). For 15 centuries no sound Christian believed justification as a mere legal exchange. Therefore, according to Protestant theory , Christ set up a Church where no one could be saved for 15 centuries. There was a total apostasy on the issue of salvation from the very beginning. That theory is almost as bad as the Mormons, just 3 centuries earlier than Protestant theory
@@Alfredo8059 It's not a legal fiction. Also, I do not believe justification is a MERE exchange.
@@YawnyCatBird but, faith alone? God can take away our actual desire to sin. (that is Catholic) No works can do that ( That is Protestant) Works from God can ( Eph 2:10) perfect our faith "Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?" James 2:22. Luther (Sola Fide' father) introduced a novel idea that no one had ever heard before, which is that God makes the believer to be just not by infusing Christ's righteousness, not by changing his character, but rather by imputing the righteousness of Jesus. So for Luther, God would look at a sinful person and say I'll just treat you as if you were righteous. That's called imputed righteousness. Luther and Calvin rejected the Catholic doctrine of "purgatory" because purgatory clearly contradicted their Protestant faith.
The "not by works" means our own works cannot justify, But God's works can perfect our faith so we can be really righteous. The goal is to have Jesus' mind. God is Almighty and truth. Blessings
@@Alfredo8059 I already affirm most of this. And most Protestants also believe that yes, God can take away our actual desire to sin - this is sanctification.
Luther's idea of Simul Justus et Peccator is not affirmed by a slim majority of Protestants - did you know that? I believe that Christ gives us actual righteousness that actually becomes the substance of who we are - we no longer have to be bound by the "sinner" identity. However, it took a book from a friend to change my view on this - that teaching comes from the Pentecostal/Wesleyan-Holiness Charismatic tradition.
Ephesians 2:10 is really important to me. I was baptized as an adult, so I had to choose a set of verses (and I chose Eph 2:8-10 - the whole set). It really irks me when people quote Ephesians 2:8-9 without verse 10, because verse 10 is part of the packaged deal.
So honest and sweet.May the Lord save her
You are deceiving people by telling them that if when they accept Christ as their Savior they will never sin again. We are flawed humans we will never be sinless. But being born again will turn on your Spiritual Conscience and you will turn away from sinful things but we can only continually ask God to forgive us. Jesus said if you must pray pray this Daily Our Father who art in Heaven Hallowed be thy name forgive us our sins as we forgive those who have sinned against us.

@@followingjc1859 Actually no one can hit the mark when it comes to Gods law since it requires absolute perfect obedience in word, thought and deed.

Most respectfully, the interviewer said that once she is born again she won't repeat her sins. Yes, she will. She will be a sinner til Heaven...a FORGIVEN sinner, but she will still sin.
True, we will not be perfect until we are glorified; until then, it's a process of sanctification.
Saying a Forgiven Sinner would sound a Married Bachelor. The reason we fall into Sin coz we don't crucify our flesh daily. And also, the prayer is LEAD US NOT TO TEMPTATION, not "Help me when I get into it". We can stop sinning by not putting ourselves in a place of Temptation. I agree we fall at times. But I want to emphasize that Deliverance is possible.
@@jessymercedesd Deliverance is in Christ, and does not depend on perfect obedience; that's kind of the point of being saved by grace through faith and not by works of the law. Our sin is paid for, nailed to the cross.
BUT, if there is not fruit of the Spirit in someone, they may not be actually trusting God. Sanctification is a process, and I would say it looks different for a lot of people.
Don't forget, Jesus' prayer ALSO said this: "And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors."
I don't think we can have sinless perfection on this side of heaven. Even when you think you're not blatantly sinning, are you doing EVERYTHING out of love through faith? A single stray thought could ruin your "streak" and it would inevitably be just that; a streak. I'm not saying that we shouldn't strive for that, but I would be careful in thinking you've achieved it.
@@christian_gamer_guy6447 Thank you for keeping it respectful! I totally agree with you. I also read your previous comment, yes until we reach heaven we are in the process of sanctification. We may take two steps back or three steps forward in this process, but we will reach the glorification. I wanted to encourage to live of Holiness by surrendering to the Holy Spirit. We fall, we make mistakes, but it is also possible to give in to God than give ourselves to temptations.

Joining in prayer 🙏
It's good to hear that you wish to come closer to the LORD and to help others. That's how we Christians should be. But what is it that's stopping/preventing you? Also, I urge you to turn to God with *your* prayers. He listens when you tell Him with all sincerity what is in your heart. It is a much better way than asking strangers to do something you should be doing yourself.
"“And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly." Matthew 6:5-6
"Pray for me" is what the Pharisees would do.
Again, the Bible mentions in I Thessalonians 5:25, II Thessalonians 3:1 and Hebrews 13:18 "pray for us". Pray for us, not pray for me. We should always pray for others more than for ourselves. That's how the apostles always thought- as a church, as a group, a collective. There was no individualism of the 21st century back then. The community's welfare was more important than an individual's welfare. Hence, the Lord's prayer says "give US this day our daily bread, forgive US our trespasses, lead US not into temptation, deliver US from evil"...and not "give me".
Praying for others is something that Christ does want us to do-but in the proper context. Before you come to the LORD and ask for something for yourself, think of others and their needs. After all, the LORD knows what you need even before you ask for it. Put others before you- pray for somebody you know. And if you are asking for His help for yourself, do it in privacy of your room where nobody else can hear you.
On Confession: In John’s Gospel (20:23), the disciples receive the Holy Spirit. Then, they are told: “Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven; whose sins you shall retain, are retained.” We hear a good deal about the first part of this sentence but little of the last part, this “whose sins you shall retain.”
The disciples had special power in the early church. That age is over. Your comment is a moot point.
Love my faith never leaving my faith. Don't care what others thinks about priest abusing altar server or many other people NOT leaving my Catholic faith.
I'm sure the comment section would like to hear why. What is it about Catholicism that leads you to choose it as opposed to other denominations? Every denomination has differences from the rest.
@Marcos Arreguin To be sure, though, what does the Catholic faith say about salvation? Do you two already agree on that point? If so then there is no need for arguing
You dont have to leave your faith you are a Catholic christian.
You're more interested in your faith in your religion than Christ. Your religion isn't going to save you from your sins and surely is not going to save you from eternal death.
My friend have faith and trust in God and no one else. Forget about religion, religion never saved anyone
Only Jesus Christ can save.
Yes, Catholics need to read scriptures, study history, and pray more! If only they knew the the Bible belongs to the catholic church before protestants sole it and came up with their own interpretations. She is born again the bible way, she just didnt know how to explain it. Lets pray theses kids find their way back to the church Jesus created.
Sounds like you are Catholic too (as I also am) I agree I've been studying scripture for a year now and so much has changed. she admitted she is a sinner, confessed Jesus dies for our sins and because she is Catholic, that wasn't good enough for him. If the same conversation happened with a non believer, he would have said they are saved. It's also becoming apparent to me that most protestants are not reading the bible either. They claim they go by what the bible says, but more often they are just repeating what others tell them this or that verse means.
Give up "MEN'S TRADITIONS!" Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life." The Bible says that the way of salvation is this: repent of your sins and be baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Trust in JESUS ALONE through FAITH ALONE...Sola scriptura ALONE. There is NOTHING in the Bible about praying to Mary or the saints, no PURGATORY, no "transubstantiation"(crucifying Christ over and over at the Mass). Catholicism is one of the worst places to lead a person seeking after salvation and Christ. There are no venial and mortal sins. ALL SIN is wrong in God's eyes...equally weighted. It's by FAITH we are saved...not by works..."lest any man boast"(says Paul). Peter and Paul were NOT POPES. We pray and confess DIRECTLY to God in the Name of Jesus Christ. We need no earthly priests, popes or mediators. I hope that this girl gets OUT of Catholicism and finds the TRUE way of Salvation in Christ. By the way, my uncle and 2 cousins were molested by priests...it happens quite often.
@@dashriprock5720 We Protestants follow the Bible..."sola scriptura." We do NOT follow "MEN'S TRADITIONS." Nowhere in the Bible does it say to pray or even CONSIDER MARY; no PURGATORY, no confessing to earthly priests, no POPE, no "transubstantiation." Jesus Christ is our high priest and mediator with God.The BIBLE SAYS SO. We pray directly to God(boldly)in the Name of Jesus Christ. You need to study the Protestant Reformation...it's an important DIVISION between Catholics and Protestants. God views SIN as SIN...there's no such thing as "venial vs. mortal" sins. God hates ALL SIN...read the 10 commandments. You need to get back to the BIBLE ALONE and stop carrying Christ around on a Crucifix. He HAS RISEN...take Him off that stick that the Pope carries around. "It is finished." Jesus is in heaven at the right hand of the Father. Read the Bible...it's ALL in there. Your current Pope was a chemist and a bouncer. How did HE become a mediator with heaven?
You must be born again with water and the spirit.
“Is that, like, baptism?”
YEAH IT IS
Catholic With a Bible he didn’t say with water
Yes, that’s the biblical born again definition! Spirit + water! 3Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
4Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?” 5Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Ezekiel 36:25-27:
"I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws."
Jesus was speaking to a Jew and explained it to him through the scriptures themselves.This was because Nicodemus was a teacher of the law and knew the scriptures very thoroughly. Born again clearly from the scriptures means a spiritual cleansing and a transformative new beginning, characterized by spectacular cleansing "symbolized" by water that washes away all impurities and idols, and by the powerful gift of the Spirit that transforms the hearts of people. That is what is required if people are to see and enter the kingdom of God.Please ask the Holy spirit to speak to you and do not read the Bible out of context.Born again clearly refers to a spiritual regeneration on the inside not a mere ritual on the outside!

Which Jesus? Do you have your own personal Jesus now? "For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him."
The same Jesus who was prophecied since the Pentateuch.
@@juanjulianamanriquez1345 That would be the one presented to the Church by the Apostles. Not each person's own "personal Jesus" from their own vain imagination from their private interpretation of scripture. The one offered daily in the Catholic Mass. And by "offered", that does not mean a repeated sacrifice. It is the one sacrifice for all, made present. "Lo, I am with you always."
I was raised Lutheran and we were taught our infant baptism "saved" us. We were also taught we were the only denomination who was going to heaven, certainly not Catholics, lol! Anyway even as a young child in the Lutheran church I felt the drawing of the Holy Spirit and I felt such a closeness to God. While the other kids were messing around in church I was overwhelmed with the preaching about Jesus, his death and resurrection. I didn't yet know about being born again because our church poo-pooed it. It was through my aunt who was saved before us that we all heard the true saving gospel praise GOD! He can reach us wherever we are
She had the correct answer when she said being born again was baptism, when he quoted the verse he conveniently left out the part that says you must be born again of water
Absolutely, that stroke me! I guess once you learn the Catholic theology it never leaves you. You can catch keywords in a fingersnap.
This is incorrect according to God’s word. Being born again is to be born of the Holy Spirit. Water baptism is an outward sign of this but is not required. Being born of the Holy Spirit changes a person to love that which is righteous. It’s a supernatural phenomenon that God does to give you a new heart and new desires. I can attest because it happened to me September of 2023. I chose water baptism after as an outward sign of this spiritual miracle. I had been an atheist for 30 years before that.

I grew up born again nondenominational for over 30 years. Of all those years never really understood church history. Finally, I was taught the foundation and history of the church and introduced to early teachings of the church and found healing through the mysteries of the church. I encourage you to also be humble and honest like this lady and search out the foundation of the ancient church. Nobody knows it all, especially me.
Were you sick? How did the mystery of Church History heal?
Yes. In all honesty I was very Sick with anxiety, insomnia and probably depression. After my first confession and the next day baptism with communion (mysteries of the church), I finally realized what was meant by the scripture that says, “peace that passes all understanding.” Even others noticed the difference and asked me what had changed.

Former catholic and now firmly born again. My daughter went to a catholic school when she was in kindergarten. Priest said something that bothered me greatly. Told my daughter they don't need to read the Bible. This bothered me. The Bible only through them seems like a place to control others. This has not ended well for the catholic church.
A priest would never say that.
@maikel3888 they absolutely said this. He told them to look to the priests for this. It wad said, believe it or not. It's not like the Catholic church. The Catholic church would also never abuse their power. Well documented corruption you can even learn about in RCIA. Also no priest would ever sexually abuse a minor. Oh wait all these thing have happened. I didn't want to disparage, but blatantly defending without knowledge is exactly how the negatives of the Catholic faith have happened.

I cant tell if he's is being dishonest or ignorant. If he knew that was the Catholic viewpoint he should've acknowledged that her statement was at least true to her faith. If he didnt know it was the Catholic standpoint, then he should read up on Catholic theology before lecturing Catholics. True that many Catholics don't know their faith, but I know many Protestants who don't know their faith either. It's a human problem, not a Catholic problem.

As Catholic when I confess my sins I say to the priest I want to ask God for forgivness not him(the priest). Moreover confession is only part of the repentance sacrament it also require
1. Examination of conciense
2. Remorse of the sins
3. Resolve to not sin again
4. Tell the sins to the priest so the priest can forgive the sins
( as Jesuschrist said)
5. Complete your penance
I agree that if a person truly wants to love Jesús, that person would do everything, (I think this is what you mean) to avoid future sins and cry the past sins, a good example is Saint Ignatius of Loyola. But I would like to understand your interpretation of the bible better and have a constructive talk.
Give me the scripture where Jesus said that you must confess your sins to a priest
Riaan Webb
“As the Father has sent me, even so I send you. . . . Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained” (John 20:21-23).
Riaan Webb
Early church fathers
“Confess your sins in church, and do not go up to your prayer with an evil conscience. This is the way of life. . . . On the Lord’s Day gather together, break bread, and give thanks, after confessing your transgressions so that your sacrifice may be pure” (Didache 4:14, 14:1 [A.D. 70]).
You shall confess your sins. You shall not go to prayer with an evil conscience. This is the way of light” (Letter of Barnabas 19 [A.D. 74]).
“For as many as are of God and of Jesus Christ are also with the bishop. And as many as shall, in the exercise of penance, return into the unity of the Church, these, too, shall belong to God, that they may live according to Jesus Christ” (Letter to the Philadelphians 3 [A.D. 110]).
“[The Gnostic disciples of Marcus] have deluded many women. . . . Some of these women make a public confession, but others are ashamed to do this, and in silence, as if withdrawing from themselves the hope of the life of God, they either apostatize entirely or hesitate between the two courses” (Against Heresies 1:22 [A.D. 189]).

Revelation 22:18-20
Every Catholic has been "Born Again". First, by their infant BAPTISM and then by accepting the Catholic faith which teaches us that we must confess and repent our sins and that Jesus died on the cross for our salvation, for the forgiveness of our sins. Catholics pray the Apostle's Creed, the Act of Contrition and the Our Father daily. These are a daily confession of our faith in prayer to our Lord. If you are Catholic and anyone ever asks you if you are BORN AGAIN, your answer is YES. You were saved and you are being saved, if you practice your Catholic faith.
Ray is WRONG, because BAPTISM is part of being Born Again. It is Ray who is NOT Born Again.
Christ established His Church on Peter (Mt. 16), but Protestants who believe in the man-made tradition of Luther's "sola Scriptura" (Bible alone) cannot find this phrase "Bible alone" in the Bible. The Bible says that the pillar and foundation of truth is the Church (1 Tim. 3). She acknowledged Christ's saving death...that should be a good enough answer instead of harassing her to win an argument. Just b/c a Catholic cannot answer your questions doesnt mean Christ didnt establish the Catholic Church which He did 2000 years ago. Interviewer was wrong that it is "okay" to miss Mass b/c Christ commanded us to eat His flesh and drink His blood which we do at Mass (Jn. 6). She knows she sinned by missing Sunday Mass. Jesus gave the authority to forgive sins to his Church -- sinful men -- when he said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven" (Jn. 20). Interviewer needs to read the Word of God. Catholics who are reading this and have left the Church, I warmly invite you home to the Church for whom Christ died (Eph. 5). Catholics, do not forget your roots in the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation when you were born again in water and the Spirit. Don't be deceived by those who can quote the Bible. Even Satan knows how to quote the Bible. Catholics may not be able to quote the Bible chapter and verse like most Protestants, but her many saints throughout 2000 years of Catholic Church history show how Catholics live and love the Bible (not just head-quote it) and love Jesus's mother who the Beloved Disciple St. John "took in his home" (Jn. 19) at the foot of the Cross. Accept Christ in your life, the only Savior of the world, and be baptized into the Body of Christ, his Bride and Church. Viva Christo Rey!
@Nassem Verweyen Christ selected Judas Iscariot among the 12 Apostles. But 11 of those 12 went from sinners to saints. Don't leave Christ because of Judas.

Oh boy here we go again I am Catholic I attend and teach Sunday school at a Pentecostal church. Being Catholic you should have read the new testament for yourself act 2 says the new believers met daily to pray and the catholic church encourages you to do the same daily mass and readings would have meant that you would have read the bible.in a year. Every aspect of the mass is based on the bible you are confessing your sins to God you are just doing it as James 5: 16 says to confess to one another with God representative. A pastor is a much God representative as a priest why he is a pastor in spanish this is sheperd the one that leads the flock the protestant pastor and the priest both have the responsibility of leading like Jesus our sheperd to Jesus himself and God. The pastor of a protestant church must have an exemplary character only one wife etc. The only difference is priest are asked not to marry to be true representatives of christ and of course yes there has been much corruption among the priesthood but that is not caused from being a catholic Christian believer but from men who are disobedient and do not fear and show reverence and lack real faith and belief but then what of them maybe like Judas who saw Jesus' miracles and walked with him for 3 years the flesh and the temptations to sin are more prominent than the fear of the knowledge of who Jesus is who God is and the consequences they face. I wish many Catholics would truly study theirbible.and their faith before leaving there are movements within the church charismatic in nature where people speak in tongues and there are many videos on you tube where protestants explain their reason for converting to Catholicism just as many chose to leave the church that being said why cant we all be friends understanding not to push a division in the body of christ! Do you know how often JRR Tolkien (Lord of the rings and a Catholic) tried to convert his atheist friend to Catholicism? He never managed too but CS Lewis did go back to protestant christian faith and wrote some great books including mere christianity and the screwtape letters read both sometime screwtape a head devil tells his nephew a young devil to make people think religion is archaic old and boring and that is the perception most have of the catholic church and leave they want a more modern church and so they keep repeating the same thing the catholic church does not teach the bible. Do you know that to study much of early Christian theology you would have to study not only the history of the catholic church but the writings of early Catholics Christians monks etc? And guess what it is their writings that many Catholic practices are based on so who is the better authority on what the early christians did to practice their faith than those who were there founding the church?! Plus think about it the New testament talks of a gathering of people who were Jews and who were just developing "the way" which later became christianity. PAUL writes to them on how to keep the faith and how they should behave as Christians their character as believers. The church of ecclesia/ecklesia means goverment in Greek. People like to call the Catholic church a political institution saying they have their own government well Jesus said Peter you are the one on which I will found my ekklesia or ecclesia my government !!!! And all those lovely place many Christians love that visit in the holy land however call Constantine a pagan who introduced pagan beliefs into the catholic church so it is bad well Constantine was the one who charged his mother with preserving all the holy sites where Jesus had been. Sometimes it is better to just say let me learn and understand get wisdom because their is always more. Reminds me of Ray's movie the fool he said someone had called him a bibliophile he did not look up the word just assumed the person was insulting him led to much embarrassment the atheists had quite a laugh. The demons must be laughing at us look christian against christian and we are winning at dividing them because they are arguing doctrine and not understanding it is a fight against 2 kingdoms if they say they are Christians they belong to the kingdom of God not the protestant kingdom and the catholic kingdom even Jesus told them.a kingdom. Against itself will not stand and here is Ray's video dividing the kingdom of God and satan's kingdom stands united....smh
@@COGmercy Who am I to judge you? Exactly, so I'm not judging you. But you do understand that many churches today INCLUDING Catholic churches spread false teachings right? For example, where in the Bible does it say we have to WORSHIP Maria? I know, nowhere right? I can't find it. Yet so many Catholics worship Maria. These false churches/teachings all have one thing in common. They lead people astray from what it's really all about. The Gospel. And I want you to know, it's not about religion. Or being a part of a giant church or even a building for some people lol. The true church of Jesus Christ are His true followers.
@@DDOMESSI I am so sorry have you ever googled do Catholics worship Mary or do you just assume they do. The catholic church is not a new church or new prophet it is thee church the one that has lasted even the empires that tried.to take it down. I would like to answer you but again this tyoe of question is because many of you sit and listen to pastors who are dividing the body of Christ you are making a doctrinal argument and I am saying that is not up to any of us to judge we are to unite under the theology the way the truth and the life. Catholics do not worship Mary or saints but we do honor our mother. Jesus said whoever does the will of God is his brother and sister Luke 8:12. Every year we honor our mothers for bearing us for caring for us. If we do do with our earthly mothers then we should consider our holy mother even that more special. If you consider Jesus to be your savior and holy then how much more holy is the womb that bore him compared to the one who bore you!
Because of doctrine you are setting aside Catholics and other Christians who do the will of God. There are so many born again professed Christians I know personally that do not they bear a form of godliness but please feel free to research and do not alight yourself with knowledge of the first site you find. You will find the reasons why we venerate her. Here are a few to help you

Now Dominic think about this Jesus said we would be persecuted for his sake ....which is the most persecuted and targeted church in christendom and I dont mean from non believers or even other believers accusing the Catholic church whether the Roman or orthodox churches but by satan himself he has gotten into the minds of men men meant to shepherd the flock and led them to do atrocious things surely you can see the diabolical at play.....we must pray for the body of Christ. As i have mentioned in previous replies if you feel so strongly about Catholivs revering Mary then kneel at midnight and pray ask God if all Catholics are wrongly practicing christianity and offending Him let them know He is the only one who can change their hearts and minds but I pray that if he sees it is not so He may open your mind to further truth. Let all the righteous who call upon the name of the Lord be saved!

Much love to you all, my family in Christ. ❤❤❤
What a sweetheart. I pray the blood of Jesus over that lovely young lady
Amen!!!
Amen
You want her to be converted because she is beautiful? What if she was a leper? The flesh avails not. Are you like the Dalai Lama saying if he has a female successor she has to be attractive or no one will want to look at her face?
@@thereaction18 Well look at the comments... Not the only one.
@@thereaction18 Outside of her beauty , she is very honest & open minded. More then a lot of saved people.
Hi there, I do not understand why this video thinks (most) Catholics do not understand repent and to trust in Jesus only. The Catholic Church teaches you to repent and have a relationship with Jesus Christ and that your saved through Jesus Christ only. I see no issue asking a priest to pray (repent) for you so your sins are forgiven. Having said that, it is imperative to love God with all your heart and trust in him alone, pray for others and to ask for forgiveness consistently. Peace.
Hi Chase, almost all Catholics do not idolize the Pope or Priests. Based on my comment above, your comment makes zero sense. Read my initial comment first as I clearly state humans are saved Jesus Christ alone. The Catholic Church is the true church of Jesus Christ as its lineage is from St. Peter who Christ said He would build His church. There are a number of items I disagree with the Catholic Church but its the church Jesus Christ founded through His servant St. Peter.
Hi Chase, I do not think you fully understand The Bible based on what you are saying. I ask Jesus for forgiveness and pray for others and would be grateful if others prayed for me. I have confessed my sins to a Priest from time to time. So although only the blood of Jesus Christ can save us, and only Jesus Christ can forgive us, there is nothing inherently wrong about confessing sins to a priest or anyone else for that matter. Why is it wrong to have a Priest or anyone else to pray to you ? And do you think Martin Luther was a Servant of Jesus Christ or a delusional heretic to delete 6 books from the Old Testament, change verses in the New Testament, wanting to omit Revelation and having a strong dislike of the Jews ?
Hi Chase, it is clear your making up what I stated above in clear words and not answering my questions. My original statement clearly states "I see no issue asking a priest to pray (repent) for you so your sins are forgiven." as the power of prayer is strong whether its from a priest, a friend or someone who cares. Abd I did state clearly "that your saved through Jesus Christ only". If you understand English, this means no one can save you but God alone. You seem to think it is wrong to have a priest or someone to pray for you. And your distorting my belief that a priest or someone else can save me when clearly I never stated this. I just stated it is good to pray for others and good for others to pray for you. This is stated in The Bible. The is the issue with people like yourself is that you distort what we believe in and have a very negative opinion that we idolize Mary or the Saints for example and this is 100% wrong. The issue with Martin Luther is not about the 6 books only, but verses being changed in the New Testament and him wanting to omit Revelation and his dislike of the Jews. The later part is much worse than the 6 books which is wrong in itself and he is not a servant of God.
Hi Chase, their is no point discussing Martin Luther as your defending him as a muslin is defending Mohammad. Martin Luther is leading many people down the wrong path and is not a servant of God. For the record, I consider the last two popes to be very questionable yet both are greater than Martin Luther who hates the Jews and changed the Bible for his own human purpose. Their is no point talking about Martin Luther as your blind as a Muslim saying Mohammad was a Prophet of God. Yes, it is very good to pray to anyone for their prayers and who are greater than the Saints. I agree that we can pray to Saints although I am a believer to pray directly to God. In regards to Priests forgiving sins, this part I do not agree with but is taught in the Catholic Church. The Apostles were given the power to forgive sin based on Matt 16:18-19 ; Matt 18:18 and John 20:21-22 but they had the Holy Spirit and were the true servants of God.
Priests are sinners too!! Just look at all of these pedo priests going around! Why ask another sinner to pray for you when you can go directly to the Father!!!!
She has been born and gifted the one true faith just sadly poorly catechized as a lot of Catholics are including myself at one point, now I have come to know the one true faith for myself and it is beautiful leaving holy mother church would be leaving Jesus himself in the Eucharist and that is absolutely unthinkable! I would love to see ray comfort come across an on fire catholic who has a reason for his/her faith now that would be something to watch! I respect this man greatly he has a lot of love for God and would make an awesome catholic like Steve Ray or Scott hahn :) I pray he comes to the fullness of truth! God bless
Make an awesome Catholic? Why not an awesome born-again follower of Christ? Everything he spoke to her is pure Gospel, not Roman traditions and laws. I'm Latin American so I was indoctrinated into the Catholic church from birth. As an adult I saw so many flaws and non-biblical beliefs in the church that it forced me to leave. It's like the church carried my relationship with God so I didn't have to carry any burdens nor be accountable for my sins. As a new born again Christian I go directly to Jesus (not Mary, not saints, not priests) and He enables me to repent and grow in the Spirit. I have to say, being a catholic was easy, you get to sin all week because on Sunday I get to confess anyways (if i practiced it). What a joke the catholic church has made of the gospel. Shameful. My own siblings have turned against me because I'm now a Protestant and that's a crime in the eyes of Catholics. But I know exactly why. They are indoctrinated. Men love their traditions more than to know Jesus personally. I got baptized as a baby but that's not biblical, so i got baptized again at 27 when I actually knew why I was doing it. Getting freed from the catholic church is more difficult than an atheist becoming Christian. After all, its easier to open the eyes of the blind than to open the eyes of those who claim to see.
Do Catholics believe that Romans 3:23 includes Mary, when it says "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" ?
Amen Cely!
@@hotice8885 Sense Romans 3:23 is speaking of works of the law , if one backs up and reads the verses before Romans 3:23 and reads Romans 3 after Romans 3:23 it is speaking of works of the law. So yes there are millions of exceptions.
@@William2015-q4h --millions of people who have not sinned and fallen short of the glory of God? I have only heard of one human: Jesus Christ. You know another?
She has a genuinely open lovely humble gentle soul, I pray for her to know this
I would like to see Ray Comfort to debate Trent horn Jimmy Akin’s and Tim staples from catholic answers.
Trent, Tim and Jimmy would destroy Ray Comfort easily.
AK this guy is INSANE' I've heard him clearly say on one video that Jesus Mother " The Blessed Mother" gave birth to multiple siblings to Jesus Christ " CASED CLOSED I don't need to hear anything going forward from this misguided soul" and I also as a Catholic would wreck his blasphemous teachings !
Of all the people I’ve ever encountered in my entire life, Ray is the most genuine and holy. Of all the Christians, if I could name one that I know pleases the Lord it would be Ray Comfort. When I wonder who in the world is conformed to Jesus, who exudes the fruit of the Spirit, Ray comes to mind. He may not win a debate, but he is very kind, generous, genuine, loving, graceful, honest, faithful, and humble. Anyone who despises Ray despises God.
He would lose
Lisa Moreno Repent. Forget religion, love Jesus Christ

I was a Catholic before. I thank God for revealing His truth to me, He knocked on my door and I opened it. ♥️ Indeed, the truth will set us free!
I'm so happy to read your comment! Glad you escaped Catholicism.
