So you left the Catholic Church for its more difficult to be Catholic with all the rules and commandments you have to follow and you just became Protestant because it’s easier and it gives you an illusion of being saved. Good choice .

@ToddLeeTV *Why would Roman religion be the Church of the Bible if 95% of it's doctrines and clergies were not from Scriptures? Logic tells your otherwise.* *nt Church of the Bible did not have Roman pontiff neither Roman priests, neither did Apostles pray to dead saints or Mary, neither did Apostles and Jesus make statues for Mary and saint .. Neither bow down to statues .. Neither Roman unholy water, neither sinless Mary, neither veneration of skulls bones tongues ... So where are all these man made doctrines of Rome in the Bible? Neither all the below man made doctrines! Wonder where they come from?* *There was never a Catholic Church in the Bible.* *There was never a R Catholic Church in the Bible.* *There was never a Catholic in the Bible.* *There was never a Roman Catholic in the Bible.* *There was never a R Church pope in the Bible.* *There was never a R Church priest in the Bible.* *There was never a R Church cardinal in the Bible.* *There was never a R Church sinless Mary in the Bible.* *There was never a R Church unholy water in the Bible.* *There was never a R Church penance in the Bible.* *There was never a R Church purgatory in the Bible.* *There was never a R Church canonised saint in the Bible.* *There was never an Nt believer who made or bow down to statues in the Bible.* *There was never an Nt believer who prays or received prayers from passed saints or Mary in the Bible.* *There was never an ecumenical council with bishops of all churches that decided the canon in history* *If you can find one example in the New Testament I will give you a lollipop.* *nt church of the Apostles did not have such practices. Answer me: did apostles make and bow down to statues? Did Apostles ask passed on saints to pray for them? Or sprinkle "holy" water on believers? Or wore fishhead hat and costumes? Or cite hocus pocus when they serve the communion? They merely broke bread and passed around the table. Did they demand believers to kneel in front of them to serve them communion? Or did Peter ask believers to kiss his hands and feet? Or did Apostles venerate statues, bones or relics?* *You do see clearly it all came from practices of believers after the Apostles - which Rcs claimed its from early writings. They had already deviated from the Apostles and Jesus. What Rcc called doctrines were merely partly traditions of errant believers + partly its own self traditions. Totally not from Jesus and Apostles at all.*

@ToddLeeTV *By "religious instructions", i believe you are referring to BW -shing of Roman religion. Lol. Roman religion contradicts the Scriptures in every possible ways. It is 10000% man made.* 1. Catholics say Mary was forever virgin. Yet Bible says Jesus had brothers and sisters. Mary was not perpetually virgin. Mk 6:3, Mat 13:55, Mat 27:56, Mar 6:3, Mar 15:40, Mar 15:47. 2. Catholics say clergies must be celibate. Yet BIBLE says Peter (supposed R Church first leader) had mother in law. Bible says celibacy is not a qualification for clergies. Mat 8:14-15, Mar 1:30-31, Luk 4:38-39. 3. Catholics say Mary was sinless. But Bible says Mary offered a sinner's offering. She was a sinner. Bible says Mary needed a Saviour. Lk 2:23-24, Lev 12:6-8, Rom 3:10. 4. Catholics say confess to R priests in a box. BIBLE says nothing about confessing to priests in a box. Bible says confess to God only. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6, Romans 10:9-10. 5. Catholics say drink of the physical blood of Jesus. Yet OT and NT both say do not drink blood. Acts 15, Lev 7:26. 6. Catholics say pray to passed on Mary and "saints". Yet Bible says do not contact the dead. NT Church did not record a single case of NT believers asking passed on saints to pray for them. Deut 18:11, Isaiah 8:19. 7. Catholics make and bow down to statues. Bible says do not bow down to graven images (statues). Deut 4, Exo 20:4-5. 8. Catholics sprinkles “holy water”. But NT Church of the Bible mentioned nothing about “holy water”. There was no record of any Apostles sprinkling “holy water” on believers. Catholics claimed “holy water” came from OT. Yet Num 5:17 says “holy water” was water used to test adulterous women in OT temple. Hardly the same. Those were for Old Covenant Jews. Not New Testament Christians. 9. Catholics say Peter was pope - bishop of all bishops. Yet Bible says Peter was just a leader of the Jerusalem Church. Bible says nothing of the office of bishop of bishops. Gal 2:9, Mat 16:18. 10. Catholics say there is a seat of Peter. Yet BIBLE says nothing about it. Jesus said “not to lord over others”. 11. Catholics has clergy priesthood. Bible says clergy priesthood was done away with in New Testament. There is no clergy priesthood in NT. Heb 7:27, 9:12, 10:10. 12. Catholics preaches Works Salvation (faith + good works + partake R sacraments + submit to R pontiff + be in R Church + devote to Mary = to be saved). Yet Bible says “believe in Jesus to be saved”. Bible says Works Salvation is cursed. Gal 1:8-9. Acts 16:30-31, John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10. 13. Catholics says they must do Penance to atone for their sins. Yet Bible says repent, confess and sins will be forgiven. Catholic Bible changes the word “repentance” in NT into “penance”. Original Greek NT does not use or mean the word penance. Penance = work to atone for sins. Repentance = change of heart. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6. 14. Catholics say Mary went straight to heaven without dying. Yet Bible says nothing about it. 15. Catholics say Islam and Christianity have the same God. Yet Islam doesn't believe in death and resurrection of Jesus and Trinity. you said As a Catholic I noticed many who leave had poor religious instruction. What I do believe is whatever gets you to the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit is good. We are all on our journey...keep praying to God for answers that you don't understand.

It merely proved Roman religion invented this man made doctrine of papacy.* *So either way it's ns.* you said Regarding papal succession, later Church Fathers do not reject it. Jerome and Augustine explicitly confirm the first part of Irenaeus' list. Jerome writes, "Clement...the fourth bishop of Rome after Peter, if indeed the second was Linus and the third Anacletus..."

She seems to be a sweet girl and I’m happy that she has come to believe in Jesus. It’s worth noting that her story is the same as for so many ex Catholics who join evangelical churches. They really never understood the faith. That is sometimes the fault of the church and often the fault of the individual themselves for not taking enough of an Interest. The truth is weak Catholics become evangelicals. On the other hand, over the past 20 years or so, many evangelicals are converting to Catholicism. I was very surprised to find this out. Especially when I realized how many of them are ex pastors and even ex Protestant theologians. This goes to prove that once one really studies the history of the church, theology and applies it to the Bible, it becomes hard not to enter the Catholic Church.

Yes! It is absolutely a relationship, not a religion. I wish more people used that phrase because that would really show people that believing in Jesus is not a cult, it's a genuine relationship that goes both ways (actually Jesus does more for it than us!) I'm also wondering, how would you describe the way you see God and Jesus and faith differently from when you were Catholic? I am writing and essay in which I would like to highlight how many faiths (some Christians included) want to say that we all believe in the same God and how that is not true. There is only one God. He has only one son and his son is the only way to salvation. Yahweh, the God of the Bible, is nothing like Allah or Budda or any of the versions of him that people want to pretend are him. Do you see God differently than you did when you were Catholic? If so, how? I hope that made sense! Thank you for any help you can give and may Yahweh bless you and keep you as you continue to pursue him!

Protestantism’s best and brightest continue to convert to Catholicism - theologians, scholars, pastors and the intellectually minded because it is the truth - the one true church Jesus established 2,000 years ago. They often feel anger or resentment when they realise Protestantism has lied to them all their lives about Catholicism. Meanwhile and unfortunately, it is ignorant and bitter Catholics that never really understood the beauty of their faith, become one of the 45,000 different and conflicting 500 year old or 5 day old man made versions of Protestantism.

Sister, thanks for sharing your story. TLDR; God loves you, and please check out “Eucharistic miracles” For me it was the other way around. I came from a non religious family, started believing in God when I was four, got baptised when I was 11, and then become more devoutly Protestant around the age 13. Then, 11 years deep into theology and being a “bible believing Christian”, I chose to convert to Catholicism, by Gods grace. For me, I just couldn’t understand how, if the only true gospel is the “faith alone” gospel, then why aren’t there any church fathers, let alone a continuously existing church, that thought this before the reformation. That is a 1500 year gap in church history. If faith alone is true, then that would be impossible Jesus did after all promise that He would be with us all days until the end of time (Matthew 28:20). He promised that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. Matthew 16:18 I started doubting Protestantism and prayed to God to show me the truth. One day I doubted so much that I decided to read the bible with an open mind - seeing it for what it really is, not what I wanted it to be or felt forced to read into it in fear of going to hell. It became clear to me that salvation is not merely by faith alone (although it is not by works or faith + works either), it is rather by faith formed by love. Galatians 5:6 I understood that obedience is necessary for remaining in Christ (John 15), because if you love Him, you keep his commandments. I understood that, depending on the way you live, a person who has faith can either end up in hell or heaven. This can be proven, irrefutably, by this bible passage, as it speaks about the same believer, either going to heaven or hell. Thus, people can’t say the one going to hell was not “a true believer”, because he went to heaven in another scenario where he was faithful to Jesus’ commandments as well: Luke 12:35-48. Read revelations 2-3. Jesus are addressing real churches, not “fake believers’ churches”. Does it seem like faith alone is true based on the warnings He gives them? What about plucking out your eye as it is better to go to heaven with one than to hell with both eyes? Then, I also understood that the church must be visibly united and hierarchical (read Ephesians 4). Jesus didn’t give us the bible first and foremost (although he did indirectly), He gave us the church. Anything you disagree with here I’m happy to discuss😊 God loves you❤

Second, bill wiese testimony of hell and many other testimonies of hell the people will tell you there is no such thing as purgatory only the horrors of hell. The smallest sin can send you to hell.

1 Tim 3:15: “The household of God which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth.” 2 Tim 1:13-14, 2:2: “Follow the pattern of the sound words which you have heard from me … guard the truth that has been entrusted to you by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us … what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others.” 2 Thessalonians 2:15: “Stand firm and hold to the traditions you were taught by us, whether by word of mouth or by letter” Matthew 16:16-19: “Thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” Simon Peter said in reply, You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God. Jesus said to him in reply, Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. (Matthew 16:16-17) John 20:30-31 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of [his] disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written that you may [come to] believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name. “And Mary said, ‘My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.’ ” - Luke 1:46-49 John 20:23 (Confession to a Priest, not “Directly to God”) Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained. (John 20:23) John 6:53-58, 66-67 (The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist) Jesus said to them, Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever. (John 6:53-58) As a result of this, many (of) his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him. Jesus then said to the Twelve, Do you also want to leave? (John 6:66-67) 1 Corinthians 11:27 (The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist) Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. (1 Corinthians 11:27) James 5:14-15 (Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick) Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the presbyters of the church, and they should pray over him and anoint (him) with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven. (James 5:14-15) Colossians 1:24 (Suffering for the Body of Christ which is the Church) Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on behalf of his body, which is the church, (Col 1:24) Revelation 8:3-4 And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer; and he was given much incense to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne; and the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God. John 19:26-27 When Jesus saw his mother* and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. 2Tim. 3 Verses 16 to 17 [16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works John 21:25 Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Colossians 2:16 Let no one, then, pass judgment on you in matters of food and drink or with regard to a festival or new moon or sabbath. Matthew 2:11 And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. 1 Corinthians 5:8 Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. “When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ He said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’ A second time he said to him, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ He said to him, ‘Tend my sheep.’ He said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, ‘Do you love me?’ And he said to him, ‘Lord, you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my sheep’” (John 21:15-17). Purgatory “For if he were not expecting that those who had fallen would rise again, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead. But if he was looking to the splendid reward that is laid up for those who fall asleep in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. Therefore he made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin” (2 Macc. 12:44-45). “Each man’s work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire” (1 Cor. 3:13-15). “For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit; in which he went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly did not obey . . .” (1 Peter 3:18-20). “But nothing unclean shall enter it [heaven] . . .” (Rev. 21:27). Why Catholics call priests father? Luke 16:24 And he (the rich man) called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy upon me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame’. 1 Corinthians 4:14-15, 17 I do not write this to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children. For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel… 1 John 2:13-14 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning… 1 Tim 3:15 If I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth. so that if I am delayed, you will know how people must conduct themselves in the household of God. The earth quaked, rocks were split, 52y tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised. Matthew 27:52 Proof of purgatory 26The treasure and wealth of the nations will be brought there, 27but nothing unclean will enter it, nor any[one] who does abominable things or tells lies. Rev. 21:27 The earth quaked, rocks were split, tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised. Matthew 27:52 Revelations 12:1 A great sign appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head. Why Catholics have Jesus on the cross? John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave* his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. God's love was to send his son. John 3:14 And just as Moses lifted up* the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.” Galatians 3:1 stupid* Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? I want to learn only this from you did you receive the Spirit from works of the law, or from faith in what you heard? Are you so stupid? Meaning of this Galatians who has bewitched you (who has lied to you/cast a spell to not believe jesus was crucified) jesus was crucified people saw it. It happened thats what Pablo is saying We see this as his love for us he did this for us

What a shame. Abandoning the Eucharist, Jesus at his most intimate. Leaving HIS church to join one set up by a sinner instead. OK, your position is clear.

My relationship with Jesus is my religion you’re right but the point of saying that is that it’s about your relationship and not about rituals and saying an Our Father and 10 Hail Marys to get your sins forgiven. That’s the point

Sydney, it’s good that you find personal relationship with God through the Bible. However, if you dig deep down to the faith from how the apostles passed down their faith and church, you’ll find what God would want his church to be and how he’s worshipped. If you talk or debate with Catholics, you’ll find the truth, rather than listening to criticism or attacks on Catholicism which is not what Christ would want. Jesus wants people united in one church body and He is the head.

I understand this is an old video. I'll post my comment nevertheless. Somehow, I think all that you said somehow doesn't fit well with "Just straight to God" If all you need is just direct contact with God, why did you have to go to the worship service? Why do you think God spoke through the worship leader to uou instead of reaching out to you without the instrumentality of another human person? The word "religion" in the right sense is used to describe how we relate to God. Religion Vs Relationship is not a contradiction. In the Gospel of John, our Lord clearly says. "If you love me keep my commandments" you are my friends if you do what I command. In dact the sacrament of reconciliation is not being judgmental. It is God mercifully providing a remedy for our frailty. It is a healing and cleansing work of Christ Himself, merely administered by His chosen minister. If you dig deep into the Bible, eventually you will move on from these opinions because after some time, moments of crisis are bound to come for all. Then you will find that, while God always loves you and is not mad at you at all, you have refused to receive the healing He has freely offered to His beloved children. It's convenient to take options that seem not so difficult. But if we dare to do the difficult thing, then we will find it so refreshing and consoling. I wish and pray Sydney, that God's Word will lead you back home, in spite of all the bad examples some of us Catholics give. God bless. If you want to discuss about the Biblical foundations of the Catholic faith, I'll be happy to dialogue with you.

Johnsteila. Whether your bible has more books or less books, all have what it takes to save u. The salvation verses are in all versions n in all Bibles. I have both. Fact is, the rituals of the Cath church are so numerous n time consuming, tht U hv hardly time to read the WORD OF GOD. Praying the rosary, the divine mercy n chaplets, the other novenas n scapulars n etc are all outside the WORD OF GOD n has no salvation attached to them . Eg. U ask Mary to pray for U but Mary is still in her grave. The assumption of Mary is a man made decree tht has no evidence. No one in the Cath hierarchy has seen Mary fly into heaven. It's just a lie. N infallibility is from the devil. From this all other foolish doctrines are made. The imm conception is also another lie. No such proof even from the magisterium. N all go to church n are deceived. The bible mentions church n churches but does not mention Cath church. Thts why it has to lie, deceive n hold on to the numbers. Btw even if Mary is assumed into heaven, she cannot hear the prayers of more than 2 caths at the same time. Only god can n Mary is not god or like god. How did mary acquire godly powers after her death? Another lie of the Cath church. N lastly, even if your bible has more books, do U read n obey your Cath bible. The answer is NO. So u don't even know what god wants of u. U can pray the rosary every hour of your life but u will not find god. Is tht what U want? Go to Mary to find Jesus.? No Cath has found Jesus for 2k years. If U know of any priest or pope who has found Jesus, pls let us know. No such proof. Trillions are in hell n trillions will be going there. Don't make the same mistake. Seek the holy spirit. He will lead U to the bible n to god
