I was raised a catholic up until 16 years old and then I read the bible. . Thank God! enough said

[@francj2000]

Hi Donna,this is a great message of Paul Washer my favorite preacher. All Praise the Lord who alone has the power to open peoples spiritual eyes to hear the truth.Great to hear you left the Catholic Church.My daughter in-law was raised in a Catholic Church,I prayed 5 years for her,and asked the Lord to show her the truth.She was very confused at times because she did not know the Scriptures.Anyway to cut a long story short,she excepted the Lord,and started attending a Christian Church.I bought her a Bible which she really appreciated and said to me,dad this is the first Bible i have ever held in my hands,I got a lump in my throat.Its so painful to hear Catholics are starved from hearing the Word of GOD.May GOD Bless you Donna.

[@deha11mo]

Ha! the jokes on you guys! Paul works for the pope! they share the same theology of having to work your way to God! only paul is more subtle and crafty than the pope with his heresy! .......Salvation is free forever for everyone that believe the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ died for our sins and He was buried and He rose again the third day according to the scriptures, to save us from eternal judgement and give us eternal life. Believe it in your heart and be born again! Jesus will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and you will be sealed unto eternal life forever. Guaranteed!

REPENT!

[@noutheticcounseling5447]

I really love this man, truly, after seeing him preach at a church this past month.

[@KedPac84]

Bro. Wahser, I have been listening to your sermons for about a year now and they always are a blessing, always Biblical truth. God bless you for being obedient and bold, thanks bro, and thank God for you!

[@hablaf12]

He is amazing

[@raymondmoss4985]

Give God the glory Paul is just his messanger only saved recently myself and can't wait to serve God as an evangelist ,,

[@CarrieArt7]

Bless you brother Paul, please keep the truth coming!

[@wmnoffaith1]

I also have been listening to Paul Washer for a while now. He has saved me on many days when the devil and the negativity of the world and my family (who are not religious) was just getting to me and I was feeling hopeless. I would find the exact message God wanted me to hear that day and be able to refocus my life. I must say that he is looking worn, and tired and under a strain. we must all pray for him for strength and stamina to do the work the Lord has given him.

[@juliaumanzor9928]

Brother Paul, I wish with all my hart , that you come to my church we really need this messages .

[@dennismaher9533]

AMEN BROTHER PAUL ....Love your teaching----so called pastors ignore the true believers in order to keep a EXTRA LARGE carnal flock....As Jesus told Peter 3x "feed MY sheep" My sheep.......MY SHEEP !

[@ILoveGodsWord413]

Thank you and God bless you brother Paul!

[@JuvyG]

I have searched and searched and I have not found a church that preaches the truth in my area. My heart breaks and I long for a pastor and elders that are renewed men of God that lead and care for the sheep. When I bring up Biblical truths or try to start conversation about the greatness of the gospel and the threat of sin, all my "Christian" brothers and sisters are dumbfounded. I am so heartbroken everyday and I know there are other brothers and sisters in the same situation that are hurting. Please pray for God's people.

[@hannaht4683]

Juvy Ebi I know exactly how you feel! It's hard. I just found a biblical reformed church last Sunday and I'm praising God everyday for it. I've been looking for over a year. I hope you find one too!

[@smooothlegs]

Praise Jesus for Light thank you Brother Washer for Loving Jesus so much Amen Praying for you amen

[@RestorationEdenMinistries]

The Lord has been calling folks out of these Catholic offshoots (denominations) and non denominational kingdoms of men under the guise of THE CHURCH for a long time! This is nothing new, its just that people are becoming more bold and courageous enough to be open about it. I thank God for Brother Washer! He tells the truth!

[@DanieClarke]

AMEN THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING TRUTH

[@CherylArsenault123]

Amen, you said it. Pastors for the most part are more interested in pleasing the sinners and the lost rather than those who are true Biblical believers. I just came across this yet again in a church. It dawned on me that many churches are not going out to preach to the lost, so that they will Lord willing repent and be baptized and THEN bring them into the church. They are also allowing non believers to partake of communion, it's ridiculous. We are not supposed to cast our pearls before swine. I believe we are seeing the "falling away" that is paving the way for the man of sin. 2 Thess.2:3. I went to a church once and foolishly filled out one of their little forms, the music was just like a concert and I never went back. I got a call from them to lure me back there and the bait was an even bigger and better band. I laughed, man oh man, that was the biggest reason I never went back.

[@savageriverandthepoet6309]

Thank you I just found this gen

[@conduitforchrist102]

Is anyone familiar with the Paul washer video where he talks about the many expectations a church places on a pastor and what his role is? How to not overload the pastor? It was a really good lesson and I’ve searched everywhere.

[@HebrewGamer100]

this is something i really needed to hear. thank you

[@gravymits]

Needed this

[@enochgreen6021]

Pray for my family's salvation and mine and that we get back together and stay together and that Jesus protects us especially from satanic ritual abuse

[@IDTrainingAcademy]

Wow... I would love to hear this message in spanish so I can show it to my friends. So many truths worth to share. :)

[@RedMcc]

Let it be so!!!

[@noloc4246]

This right here is why things are the way they are in and outside the church! Just because someone is struggling with being christ-like and walking in the light, doesn't mean their critism/calling out of a pastor etc... is to be dismissed and/or diminished! By her own account, Pastor Paul's wife willingly admitted she wasn't truly saved until several years ago. She cried etc... and expressed how all those years leading up to that point, she was lost. It's directly because Pastors and churches, especially with high exposure and reputations, are taking this soft, all encompassing approach that things are way out of control tstl! It's one thing for a member to try and make a change exposing a pastor, any pastor for that matter, and a totally different story when a pastor calls out one of the members. We expect our Pastors to do just that, though only when his Christian life is in order. I'm born again/regenerated as it's called. It's not by my admission that it's so. It's by other's observance of my change that speaks for itself. That's the fruit.

[@chrisstegink4402]

Pastor Paul. Been liking the preaching u do. Jesus does love His children. Its to bad church members would try to judge u as fellow members do each other. I was raised Baptist" little b or Big B" not sure. In a small church now and I'm just going to try and inspire those I can. I feel yr aggravation that people look to others to give them the Word of God. They need to read it for themselves in light of the Spirit. I just today finished reading the Bible cover to cover. NT ive read twice. I don't fall asleep in church anymore. I don't go for social interaction or entertainment. I'm a wet blanket to most but they don't know that it says to fear when we gather together. I can tell you know this and how bad it can get. I praise the LORD for keeping us safe.Hope I dont have to wait till heaven to meet u. But then its the Lord we hope to meet and hope we can look Him in the eye. Not sure if one could prepare for that....All PRAISE AND GLORY TO THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST HIS SON. AMEN

[@DanielBeckworth]

Good stuff

[@thesupernittygritty]

AMEN

[@MrCharleyAli]

Interesting...sobering

[@bernhardbauer5301]

There are carnal people. There are carnal churches. There are carnal pastors. Most Pastors do not know the gospel. They do not know scripture. They have many books but cannot read. What does it help to leave church? Can you find anybody who knows Christ.

[@zorglub8489]

Deuteronomy 12:5-7 : But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come. And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks. And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee. My understanding of these verses is that there is only ONE place (or church) and only one that God chooses and where he wants us. He chooses this place, and I don't know what are the others...

[@twainann519]

i have a question about discipline in the church. If a person commits formication, should he or she be brought in front of the Church to announce his sin and apologize to the Church since 1tim 5:20 says rebuke before all? or Should the person ask God for forgiveness and confide in the pastor, confessing his wrong? if the answer is the second, what is the duty of the pastor? I have been cracking my head over this issue. I'm on the verge of making a decision on whether or not, I should leave my campus fellowship for this issue.

[@kingmufasa8929]

The biggest lie today is that the commandments are not to be kept

[@rdog279]

i know hes just a man being used by God but i would love 2 meet paul washer and have him pray for me, God has used him so much in my life 2 help me walk closer with Christ and yearn for rightousness

[@rdog279]

[@deha11mo]

go ahead! let whitey fucker you again! you know I speak the truth! get with the program!

[@rdog279]

dehallmo's Thunderhaus 1 John 3:10 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.

you stupid sob! how dare you!

[@rdog279]

dehallmo's Thunderhaus you are getting mad at God's word not me, just shows ur true heart u hate his ways but call urself a christian

[@ronpearson1912]

Hello Pastor Paul Washer, I have been watching alot of your videos and they are very powerful. I recently watched a video about how if one of us (in america) were to go with you to Romania or Peru, etc we would be excommunicated, this made me think would it be a good idea to go to a Russian orthodox chruch or is that basicly just a different flavor of catholicism? I saw a video of you preaching and someone was translating in Russian (I have done about 14 lessons on Pimsleur Russian) and I was wondering if that was Russian orthodox chruch or some other church in a Russian speaking nation. Maybe I am one that should not be "clapping" but I have until I run out of time to attempt to show fruit and walk the narrow way and those that dont make it ... I suppose thats life as God is sovergn and holy.

[@smooothlegs]

Praise Jesus Nursing school Jesus did send me to amen Serving is wonderful depending on the Holy SPIRIT in all things VITAL In Jesus name amen

[@abcdefg2815]

I wish I could go to his church to cause I will get feed with out any contamination food like this pastor are doing this days

[@kingmufasa8929]

The Sabbath will be the seal at the end. Pastors teach how Jesus loves us, How God forgives us, but teaches nothing on how you must act after giving your life to Jesus. The commandment of love which Christians use as the NEW commandment is actually the first 4 summed up, love your neighbour is the last 6. God made it easier by describing His commandments like this, but people twisted it around and believe you can live a sinfull life WITHOUT Gods law, because it was nailed to the cross! The Sabbath is a delight and Gods laws not grievous, it says so in New Testament so I believe the Commandments - Gods Law still stands.

[@EskimoClay1]

No true christian believes they can lead a sinful life without correction from the father. You need to repent of this foolish comment. Read Galatians.

[@thenigerianmillennial4997]

Hey. Please if you guys read this and this isn't a crazy request.. might I talk with Paul Washer?

[@rickbruce6490]

Your so right it’s our lifestyle that speaks volumes. An no they are not beast we don’t fight flesh you don’t care see this is where your preaching. Heresy you don’t teach the faithful saints to fight with a fist how foolish are you my man God I thought you saved man

[@gwenhoang4018]

I wonder if Paul Washer is right about the conversion and being remaining in that same group after their conversion. So I became catholic when I was 8 by my mother’s choice. And I was just merely a follower until Jesus brought me back home at the age of 42. I’ve been walking with Jesus predominantly. I don’t follow any human being. I’ll discern and confirm if that person is holy or not just by the experiences Jesus has taught me. I know I could be wrong on my discernment but I relied on God in every second of my life to help me. And so I’m still remaining as a Catholic for this pass 7 years of my walk with Jesus. I know Jesus can bring me into any group that he knows it’s the right group. BUT AT THIS POINT HE HAS NOT DONE THAT. And since my conversion I’ve been wanting to be more holier and wanting to have a deeper relationship with him through prayer. So someone please explain to me why Jesus is doing this. REMEMBER JESUS KNOW HOW TO FIX ANYONE OF US!!! AND WHO ARE WE TO TELL HIM HOW TO FIX US! I do see brother Paul is walking in a holy path. At least he’s trying to be holy. That’s wonderful and I’m very happy for him. I do listen to his preaching often. My brothers and sisters. Until the Lord tell me that he wants me to be to any group I’m just going to trust that he brought me back as a Catholic. Matter fact before my conversion I was frustrated with the Catholic and Christian. I left Catholic at a point in my life and join a nondenominational Christian group and hated it and left Catholic and Christian for good! Until Jesus changed everything in me and guide me his path.

[@merry5059]

My question to you is are you studying the Bible diligently? that’s what helped convict me they I couldn’t stay a Catholic

[@CatfishHeaven777]

How can I contact Paul washer about counsel on pressing issue?

[@HappySunshineDay]

Hi Catfish - this is from the website of Paul's missionary group: heartcrymissionary.com/contact-us/ Contacting Paul Washer Due to the vast amount of correspondence intended for Brother Paul, he is not able to answer emails, letters, or phone calls. Thank you for your understanding in this matter, as Paul is seeking to be true to his primary responsibilities - his family and the work God has placed before him at HeartCry.

[@jennifercarrico1603]

The Bible has contradictions. In John 3:16 the Bible says that God loves everyone with a saving love while other verses says that he only loves the elect with a saving love.

[@floridaurbanhomestead192]

Are your wife and children coming to the G3 conference?

[@dennismaher9533]

...well said but Pastors wont take the rebuke , they wont take any rebuke , not even one 1/2 of 1/1000 of a rebuke ....they will call the cops.....home church is the disruption ........

[@alexanderbhartley5549]

He sure is calling us out. It's hard. In one church, a corrupt deacon, and there's only one. In another one lies and supporting fornication. Hmm... In a town of 4,000...

[@bluliite]

1 Timothy 2:12 I do not permit a WIFE to teach or to exercise authority over her HUSBAND; rather, she is to remain quiet. Woman and man means husband and wife. That is the way it should be translated, and is even noted this way in the NIV. "woman" and "man" is an irresponsible translation seeing as how men are using it to silence the entire other half of the body of Christ. Wisdom is a woman and she speaks as a woman. You sure don't want her banned from the pulpit ;) Proverbs 1:20 Out in the open wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice in the public square; 21 on top of the wall she cries out, at the city gate she makes her speech: Wisdom sends out her female servants (apostles): Proverbs 9:3 She has sent out her young women to call from the highest places in the town, Sheerah built cities. 1 Chronicles 7:24 His daughter was Sheerah, who built Lower and Upper Beth Horon as well as Uzzen Sheerah. Nowhere in 1 Timothy 3 does it say you MUST be married. Paul was not married. 1 Corinthians 7:8 So I say to those who aren't married and to widows--it's better to stay unmarried, just as I am.

[@poetryinsctin]

JESUS commissioned: Mark 16: 15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”.... "And these signs will accompany those who believe"... Why Paul Washer and the Baptist Church are always against the signs and the gifts of the Holy Spirit? The signs and the gifts of the Holy Spirit are holy .... Paul Washer does not believe in the signs and the gifts of the HOLY SPIRIT.... Paul Washer does not believe in 1 Corinthians chapter 14: Follow the way of love and EAGERLY desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy. 2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does NOT speak to people BUT to God. Indeed, NO ONE understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit. 3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort. 4 Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church. 5 I would LIKE every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. Please believe GOD not Paul Washer...."For anyone who speaks in a tongue does NOT speak to people BUT to God. Indeed, NO ONE understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit". Please read and study these writings in your Bibles....Love in Jesus Name ...

[@rickbruce6490]

No denominations are not Biblical they are daemonic

[@kimberlydenise02]

I humbly disagree because there are so many denominations of Christ worship and none have it 💯 correct- the church breaks up when there is some theological interpretation to disagree on and then start a new church based on that interpretation. That in itself is evil since humans are evil we get the theology wrong alot of times and the flock is lead astray. I find having a personal intimate relationship with Jesus outside of limiting denomination worship is worth so much more in truth bc you’re getting the sermon direct from Jesus in prayer rather than a person in a pulpit. Demons pray on churches, the minds of preachers and individuals which causes all this confusion and split churches. Have your own relationship with Jesus direct, dont rely on Churches or pastors; youll find human error in most times. Its rare to find a pure righteous priest these days. God Bless!

[@princeneo777]

He is talking to much about himself and His religion.

[@jasonb.6623]

He's a missionary giving a Q&A ... what would you expect him to talk about?

[@D777Max]

He is sharing his experience and there is nothing wrong with that. what a silly critic
