Hi everyone, thank you for watching my video. I appreciate all of your kind comments and words of encouragement. I will edit and update this comment to address questions I keep getting in the comment section below. Let me begin by pointing out that my conversion took place over the course of 10+ years - the idea that I changed my mind from one day to the next simply misunderstands the timeframe that I cover in the video. Also, you may feel I should simply follow Christ and not religion. While I appreciate your desire to help, following Christ necessitates I unite myself to the Church. Just as the structure of marriage allows me to grow in intimacy with my wife, so too the structure of the Church allows me to grow in intimacy with Christ - the founder. While religion may seem like walls of a prison to you, they are, to me, the walls of a playground which create space for good things to run freely. Religion unites me to God, as is its true purpose. It is sad to say, but all the negative comments are united only in their hatred for the Catholic church. If my conversion upsets you and you feel I have made a mistake, please pray for me. I will be praying for you. Hopefully this approach gets us closer to accomplishing our Lord's desire that we may be one.

I resonate with your story from Atheism to Catholicism. I am a craddle Catholic so we have a slightly different starting point. Do not mind the haters, if they had the religious experiences that I did, they would be believers too. Although I had to spend 16 years searching for Truth as an atheist, watching the world turn woke, realise that objective value really does only come from a belief in God, I was then able to soften my heart to hear the call of God. Had I known about apologetics as a teenager, I would've been better able to guard my mind against the siren call of the new atheists.

Very interesting. I went from Jehovah's Witness, to atheist, to Theist searching for a religion and denomination, ultimately to Catholic. As a JW, I prided myself in Bible knowledge. As an atheist, I struggled to overcome fears and doubts, and ultimately failed to see how all of this came into being by mere happenstance. As a searcher, I studied all the major world religions and Christian denominations. Finally, after realizing that the one Church I swore I would never join was the one true Church, I became Catholic 20 years ago tomorrow. God bless you.

@@no_more_anymore In the European West, Christianity has gradually transformed into humanism. For a long time and arduously, the God-Man diminished, and has been changed, narrowed, and finally reduced to a man: to the infallible man in Rome and the equally "infallible" man in London and Berlin. Thus did papism come into being, taking everything from Christ, along with Protestantism, which asks the least from Christ, and often nothing. Both in papism and in Protestantism, man has been put in the place of the God-Man, both as the highest value and as the highest criterion. A painful and sad correction of the God-Man's work and teaching has been accomplished. Steadily and stubbornly papism has tried to substitute the God-Man with man, until in the dogma about the infallibility of the pope-a man, the God-Man was once and for all replaced with ephemeral, "infallible" man; because with this dogma, the pope was decisively and clearly declared as something higher than not only man, but the holy Apostles, the holy Fathers, and the holy Ecumenical councils. With this kind of a departure from the God-Man, from the ecumenical Church as the God-Man organism, papism surpassed Luther, the founder of Protestantism. Thus, the first radical protest in the name of humanism against the God-Man Christ, and his God-Man organism-the Church-should be looked for in papism, not in Lutheranism. Papism is actually the first and the oldest Protestantism. We should not do this ourselves. Papism indeed is the most radical Protestantism, because it has transferred the foundation of Christianity from the eternal God-Man to ephemeral man. And it has proclaimed this as the paramount dogma, which means: the paramount value, the paramount measure of all beings and things in the world. And the Protestants merely accepted this dogma in its essence, and worked it out in terrifying magnitude and detail. Essentially, Protestantism is nothing other than a generally applied papism. For in Protestantism, the fundamental principle of papism is brought to life by each man individually. After the example of the infallible man in Rome, each Protestant is a cloned infallible man, because he pretends to personal infallibility in matters of faith. It can be said: Protestantism is a vulgarized papism, only stripped of mystery (i.e., sacramentality), authority and power. Through the reduction of Christianity, with all its eternal God-Man qualities, to man, Western Christianity has been turned into humanism. This may seem paradoxical, but it is true in its irresistible and unerasable historical reality. Because Western Christianity is, in its essence, the most decisive humanism; and because it has proclaimed man as infallible, and has turned the God-Man religion into a humanist religion. And that this is so is shown by the fact that the God-Man has been driven to the heavens, while his place on earth has been filled with his replacement, Vicarius Christi-the pope. What a tragic piece of illogic: to establish a replacement for the everywhere-present God and the Lord Christ! But this piece of illogic has been incarnated in Western Christianity: the Church has been transformed into a state, the pope has become a ruler, bishops have been proclaimed princes, priests have become leaders of clerical parties, the faithful have been proclaimed papal subjects. The Gospel has been replaced with the Vatican’s compilation of canon law; Evangelical ethic and methods of love have been replaced with casuistry, Jesuitry and the "holy" Inquisition. What does all this mean? With the systematic removal and destruction of everything that does not bow to the pope, even with forced conversions to the papal faith, and the burning of sinners for the glory of the meek and the mild Lord Jesus! There is no doubt that all these facts converge into one irresistibly logical conclusion: in the West there is no Church and no God-Man, which is why there is no true God-Man society in which men are mortal brothers and immortal fellows. Humanistic Christianity is actually the most decisive protest and uprising against the God-Man Christ and all the Evangelical, God-Man values and norms. And even here is evident European man’s favored tendency, to reduce everything to man as the fundamental value and the fundamental measure. And behind that stands one idol: Menschliches Allzumenschliches. With the reduction of Christianity to humanism, Christianity has been no doubt, simplified, but also at the same time-destroyed! Now that the "gleischaltung" of Christianity with humanism has been accomplished, some in Europe are seeking a return to the God-Man Christ. However, the cries of individuals in the Protestant world-"Zuruck zum Jesus! Back to Jesus!"-are empty cries in the dark night of humanistic Christianity, which has abandoned the values and the measures of God-Man and is now suffocating in desperation and impotence. While from the depths of centuries past reverberate the bitter words of the melancholic prophet of God, Jeremiah: "Accursed is the man who puts his confidence in man!... Pt 1 Saint Justin Popovic
@Jeremy-ge6zv Жыл бұрын
@@no_more_anymore In a broader historical perspective, the Western dogma about man’s infallibility is nothing other than an attempt to revive and immortalize dying humanism. It is the last transformation and final glorification of humanism. After the rationalistic Enlightenment of the 18th century and the shortsighted positivism of the 19th century, nothing else was left to European humanism than to fall apart in its own impotence and contradictions. But in that tragic moment, religious humanism came to its aid with its dogma about the infallibility of man saved European humanism from imminent death. And, although dogmatized, Western Christian humanism could not help absorbing all the fatal contradictions of European humanism, which are united in one single desire: to exile God-Man from the earth. Because the most important thing for humanism is for man to be the highest value and the highest measure. Man, not God-Man. According to our own Orthodox feeling: Christianity is only Christianity through the God-Man, through His God-Man ideology and God-Man methods. That is the fundamental truth for the sake of which no compromises can be made. Only as the God-Man is Christ the highest value and the highest measure. One should be truthful and consistent to the end: if Christ is not the God-Man, then he is the most impudent fraud, because he proclaimed himself as God and the Lord. But the Evangelical historical reality irrefutably shows and proves that Jesus Christ is in everything and in all things the perfect God-Man. Therefore, one cannot be a Christian without a belief in Christ as God-Man and in the Church as His God-Man Body, in which He left His entire Miraculous Person. The saving and life-giving power of Christ’s Church lays in the eternally-living and all-present personality of the God-Man. Any substitution of the God-Man with a man, and any winnowing of Christianity in order to pick out only that which pleases a man’s individual preference and reason, turns Christianity into shallow and impotent humanism. The outstanding importance of Christianity for making lies in its life-giving and unchangeable God-Manhood, by which it models humanity as a whole, bringing it from the darkness of non-being to the light of Pan-being. Only by its God-Man power is Christianity the salt of the earth, the salt that saves man from rotting in sin and evil. If it dissolves into various humanisms, Christianity becomes bland, becomes salt that has turned flat, useless, fit to be tossed out and trod on. Any tendency or attempt at a "gleischaltung" of Christianity with the spirit of the times, with ephemeral movements and regimes of certain historical periods, takes away from Christianity that specific worth which makes it the singular God-Man religion in the world. In the Orthodox philosophy of society, the rule above all rules is this: do not accommodate the God-Man Christ to the spirit of the times, but rather accommodate the spirit of the times to the spirit of Christ’s eternity-Christ’s God-Manhood. Only in this way can the Church preserve the life-giving and irreplaceable personality of the God-Man Christ and remain a God-Man society, in which people fraternize and live with the help of Divine love and justice, prayer and fasting, meekness and humbleness, goodness and wisdom, charity and faith, love of God and love of one’s brother, and all the other Evangelical virtues. According to the God-Man philosophy of life and the world, man, society, nation, and state are to accommodate themselves to the Church as the eternal ideal, but the Church must never accommodate itself to them-much less submit to them. A nation has true worth only inasmuch as it lives the Evangelical virtues and incarnates in its history the God-Man values. What applies to the nation, applies to the state as well. The goal of the nation as a whole is the same as the goal of the individual: to incarnate in one's self Evangelical justice, love, sanctity; to become a "holy people"-"God’s people"-which in its history proclaims the Divine values and virtues (1 Peter 2:9-10; 1:15-16). + + + They will ask us: where are the concrete fruits of this God-Man society? How was it that precisely on the field of Orthodoxy’s radiation came about the appearance of "the most radical secularism in human history?" (Joseph Piper) Does there not also exist an Eastern "Humanism" (for ex. Caesaro-papism, etc.)? The success of atheistic social humanism on the soil of Orthodoxy: is that not proof of the "inability of Orthodoxy" to solve the most elementary social problems? It is a fact that this world lies in evil and sin. The reduction of everything to man is in fact the atmosphere in which sinful human nature and man in general-no matter where he is located-lives and breathes, and something toward which they strive. It is, therefore, no wonder that the tides of this sinfulness, just like the tides of European pseudo-Christian poisons, from time to time wash over the Orthodox peoples as well. However, one thing is irrefutably true: the Orthodox church has never ecclesiologically dogmatized any sort of humanism, whether we are talking about Caesaro-papism or any other "ism." With the strength of its genuine and uncorrupted God-Manhood and Evangelical truthfulness, and through its constant call for repentance regarding everything that is not from God-Man, it has preserved, by the power of the Holy Spirit, the wisdom and the chastity of its heart and its soul. And by this it has remained and continues to be the "salt" of the earth, man and society. On the other hand, the tragedy of Western Christianity lies precisely in the fact that it, either by correcting the image of the God-Man, or by denying it, has attempted to once again introduce demonized humanism, so characteristic of sinful human nature, to-where? Into the heart of the God-Man organism itself-the Church, whose essence lies precisely in the freeing of man from it. And through it into all regions of life, person and society, proclaiming it as the supreme dogma, as the universal dogma. With this, the demonized intellectual pridefulness of man, hidden under the cloak of the Church, becomes the dogma of a faith without which there is no salvation! It is horrible to think it, much less say it: with this, the sole "workshop of salvation" and graduation to God-Manhood in this world, is gradually turned into a demonized "workshop" of violence over consciousness and dehumanization! A workshop of the disfigurement of God and man through the disfigurement of the God-Man! Pt 2 Saint Justin Popovic

If you really believe the Bible is the Word of God then believe what Jesus says regarding your life: John 6:51-55 51. I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh." 52. Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, "How can this man give us His flesh to eat?" 53. So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. I ask you: Why reject our Lord's direct message to your conscience? If Jesus is telling you that something is true, why would you respond to our Lord by saying it isn't true? Can you understand the consequences of your rejection? It is quite evident it isn't Heaven. May God bless your discernment.

Like you, God rescued me from the psychedelic culture, and my thought that I was God, and the world around me my own mind.

Hi Dylan. New subscriber here. Your conversation journey was quite similar to mine. My brother died when I was 14 while I was an engaged catholic. I went through a faith crisis and became an atheist. It was until my young adulthood when I started to do drugs, mainly cannabis and LSD, at some point I really felt I was about to found a pagan cult with my friends. I quit LSD because I almost died in my last trip. I continued to smoke weed trying to quit little by little. I was already studying the christian faith and started to pray. I ended up becoming catholic, the last day that I smoked weed I was about to fall into a psychotic broke. I remember myself praying and begging Jesus to take me out of that. Long story short... That was the official day I recognized Him. You can tell the rest of the story: I started going to mass, formalize my communion with the Catholic church, stopped living in adultery, fornication and a long etc of things I had to quit. Now I'm a committed Christian, married and waiting for a baby to be born in a few months 🎉. Thank you for sharing your testimony.

I desire the bread of God, which is the flesh of Jesus Christ, who was of the seed of David; and for drink I desire his blood, which is love incorruptible” (Letter to the Romans 7:3 [A.D. 110]). “Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God. . . . They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes” (Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6:2-7:1 [A.D. 110]). I’ll pray for you my brother in Christ!!

This was an awesome video. Thanks so much for putting it together. I love the detail, and the time that you took to go through books and people who influenced you, and the micro-stages along your journey. I followed a similar path, though without stages #2 and #3 - I went straight from Protestant to Catholic - but the process was incredibly slow (at least 15-20 years, possibly longer if I really want to count details). We will be received into the church next week at Easter Vigil. I love the comment that you left below - that the walls of God's law are the fence around a playground, not the walls of a prison. That is incredibly apt. Sorry, too, that you're getting so many hecklers. Believe it or not, the insane and inevitable rudeness of Protestants in comment sections (and the inevitable graciousness of Catholic responders) was one of the reasons which made me give Catholicism a serious look in the first place. So perhaps it's a good thing! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your channel, and thanks for posting! Oh, and I love Chesterton! Yes! So much good stuff with him! !

Near the end about belief being more than mere propositional knowledge is a realization I recently just had, although I separate belief and propositional knowledge into 2 categories. I'm very drawn to Catholicism, mainly because of the Eucharist, since these allows 'belief' or experience to exist, and the saints, but my main problem is that I believe in Universalism, or the belief that all will ultimately be saved.

I’m Catholic and I struggle with “universalist” tendencies.

I’m trying to deal with it now by trusting in God’s goodness and believing He knows the “hearts of men” more than I ever will. Maybe He’ll do it in a way we can’t even comprehend right now that doesn’t contradict with what the Bible said about hell.

My conversion from atheism to Christianity was kinda similar, minus the psychedelics. I rejected a Catholic upbringing very early on as a child due to an overbearing but well-meaning pious grandmother. I later found stoicism at a very unhappy and meaningless-feeling point in my life. The ancient stoics had a God concept that they argued was essential to the coherence of the philosophy. I initially balked, but I was so enamored with stoicism as a way of life, and the practical aspects were having such a profound effect on me, that I could not shake it. I wrestled mightily with accepting this stoic God. That was the start of a crack in my atheist armor. Then I read Spinoza, then Whitehead and Hartshorne, then William James' "Will to Believe" was the final nail in the atheist coffin. The intellectual dam I had erected collapsed, and possibilities rushed in, my closed world opened wide. It still took a while after this to go from mere theism to Christianity, and I'm still wrestling with it in many ways to this day. I'm very much a mere Christian. Big-tent Anglicanism is where I'm most comfortable.
