I'm a Protestant and I believe I'm being led to the Catholic church. Please pray for me. I want to be a part of the Catholic Church. I don't know where to start. I've done years of study and research on this. Of course with my Protestant background I was very anti Catholic. But reading books, studying history, listening to lectures and seminars. Being frustrated with divisiveness within my tradition . I'm very familiar with theological literature both Protestant and Catholic. I'm drawing closer to Rome now. I travel for work , I'm always away from home. I don't know where to start to become catholic. I can't attend RCIA because I stay away working for months at a time. Can anybody give advice?

I’d say find a good priest and explain your situation, he might allow you to do some studying on your own or one on one’s with him from time to time. I could be wrong but I know I’ve heard of some people being able to do something like that instead of RCIA

[@ODMA-km4dq]

Yes, the church teaches that only God can forgive sin. But Jesus Christ gave authority to the church to forgive sin (albeit it’s not the priest that forgives). Mt 16:19. These apostles have verifiable successes that are ordained to this day. I totally get where you are coming from, I was Protestant for the first 35 years of my life. But once you study their doctrines, you can’t deny. Unfortunately sacred scripture talks about a great deception that causes men to believe lies. Like you, I also subscribed to heresy, I didn’t know any better. You should be angry that you’ve been sold a lie and now believe it. When you persecute the Catholic Church, you are persecuting the Bride of Christ (no the Bride is not the random self declared Christians outside of the church). If you are serious, you need to research their claims yourself. The first thing is to realise that prior to Sacred Scripture being canonised by the Catholic Church (300+yrs after Jesus) their was only Sacred Tradition (oral teachings). John spoke of many things that Jesus did that were not recorded. Those things are known to the Catholic Church in Sacred Tradition. When they put Sacred Scripture into a book, known as the Bible it had an additional 7 books. Luther an excommunicated catholic priest removed 7 books, interestingly those books primarily confined much of the doctrine you deny. Luther actually believed in the communion of Saints and asked Mary to intercede for him. The whole denial of this is only a recent heresy. For 1500 years prior to Luther Christianity was solely catholic. Go to a catholic apologist site and research everything yourself. Once you discover the truth, find a parish and do the RCIA program. Then try and save as many deceived non Catholics as possible. Their souls matter.

Then why did Christ appoint Peter as the first Pope (Matthew 16:16-19), sent the Apostles out to evangelize all nations, and Baptise, in the name of the Father, Son & Holy Spirit, and in Matthew 28: 18: Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” And why in John 6 do we see Jesus allowing thousands to depart from him after He tells them: 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.” 52 The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53Jesus 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. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. 57 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.b 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.” 59 These things he said while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. The Words of Eternal Life. 60 Then many of his disciples who were listening said, “This saying is hard; who can accept it?” 61 Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, “Does this shock you? 62 What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?* 63 It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh* is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him.c 65 And he said, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.” 66 As a result of this, many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him. 67 Jesus then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.” 70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you twelve? Yet is not one of you a devil?” 71He was referring to Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot; it was he who would betray him, one of the Twelve. Then in John 14:26 The Advocate, the holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name-he will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you." So, if all that was required was the one verse you quote, which is true, you must believe in everything Christ taught to the Apostles AND all The Holy Spirit taught them 'everything' as they then went out into the world and formed The Catholic Church, which, as you see, was founded by Christ on Peter the authorized Head of the Catholic Church, is worldwide and The Holy Spirit taught 'everything'. So, to refuse it, is refusing Christ as He intended to set apart those who merely 'say' they believe from True believers, who have truly accepted 'everything.' I pray this makes sense as Christ told the Samaritan women that there would come a time to worship in Spirit and Truth. This, is, The One, Holy, Roman Catholic & Apostolic Church today. If John 3:16 was the be all end all, then your contradicting Christ Himself, may God forbid! Amen. +

This video is what religious Catholic are saying about salvation but … Let’s see what the BIBLE, God’s words, says about salvation Act 4:12 says very clearly that Salvation is found in no one else! God has given NO name under heaven by we must be saved’ because the only ONE name, that is Jesus! (Not Mary, no pope, no attending church can saves us ) In John 14:6,’ Jesus said “I Am the way , the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me ( Jesus)” again nothing here says Mary , Pope nor attend Church can saves us. John 3:16 ‘For God so loved the world that he sent His begotten Son that WHOEVER believes ( trust ) in Him ( Jesus) shall Never Parishes but have everlasting life. Then in John 3:18 says ‘Whosoever Believes ( Trust) in Him (Jesus) is NOT condemned, BUT whosoever does NOT BELIEVE ( not trusting) in Him stands condemned already because they has not believed in in Name of God’s one and only Son ( Jesus). In Titus 3:5, ‘ He ( Jesus) Saves us , NOT because of righteous works or deeds we had done, but because of His mercy, Jesus saves us through washing of rebirth and renewal by Holy Spirit. That’s the Gospel. Now here’s what Galatians 1:9 says ‘As we have said before: IF anyone preaches ANY other Gospel ( Good News) contrary to the ones you accepted, Let them be under God’s curse!’ So there you have it. It’s not required to talk to Mary , Pope , attending church , talking to angels in order to be saved. Don’t let man’s religious tradition tells you otherwise nor twist other than what God’s word, Bible says. Only one way according to God’s word is to repent and believe on Lord Jesus. Invite Him to be Lord and Savior.

The same people you say “Jesus warned” yes they were cut off because of unbelief. But God grafted them back in by mercy for the sake of the promise He made to Abraham. “In your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.” Therefore it does not depend on him who wills or him who works but on God who shows mercy & keeps His promise. Romans 11:28 “Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. For the gifts and callings of God are IRREVOCABLE.” Salvation is a gift. The gifts of God are irrevocable. “Not by works of righteousness which you have done, but according to His mercy He saved us.” By grace we are saved through faith, and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God that no man can boast. I’m not sure how to make it any more clear to you: Salvation is a gift. Righteousness is a gift. Eternal life is a gift. The Holy Spirit is a gift. God gives us all these gifts because He promised to do it. God is not a liar. “He who promised is faithful. He will do it.”

Surely, none can be saved without Christ, but we can not ourselves determine who our Lord will choose to save or not. Not even every Christian will be saved, afterall, for many will say Lord, Lord (Matthew 7:22). None of us can be so certain who will be saved and who will be condemned, we all require God’s mercy.

He never resisted, and was left for dead. The robbers never found the money they sought, only an icon of the Theotokos (Virgin Mary) in his hut. Seraphim had a hunched back for the rest of his life. However, at the thieves' trial he pleaded to the judge for mercy on their behalf. He spent five months in the monastery, recovering from his injuries and then returned to the wilderness.[1] After this incident Seraphim spent 1,000 successive nights on a rock in continuous prayer with his arms raised to the sky, a feat of asceticism deemed miraculous by the Eastern Orthodox Church, especially considering the pain from his injuries.

ONE LORD ONE FATIH ONE BAPTISM “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all” (Ephesians 4:4-6) The one baptism (and the only valid baptism), is the baptism of the one faith, the baptism authorized by the one Lord and practiced by the one body, the church of Christ. “For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body” (1 Corinthians 12:13). "Are you born again-the way the Bible understands that concept?" If the Evangelical has not been properly water baptized, he has not been born again "the Bible way," regardless of what he may think.The Born Again Movement traces its origin early in the 19th century.Born Again Movement arrived at our shores in the late 1930’s and gained its popularity in the 70’s and 80’s which is considered the golden era of Born Again Movement During these years membership in various Born Again Churches increased because they where able to infiltrate mainline Protestant Churches and had lured nominal Catholics into their fold.However their steady growth ceases starting the year 1990 and their membership declined in the succeeding years. In the year 2000 Born Again Churches from the United States sent their missionaries in the Philippines to re-established the Born Again Movement and this time their primary mission is no longer to infiltrate Protestant and Catholic Churches but targeted the youth in schools particularly college students.Born Again evangelist does not want to discuss the history of the Christian church, in their Bible studies with their prospects, they intentionally limit the discussion to the Bible alone. They conceal the history of the Christian religion because it will show that their movement did not originate from the apostles. It is necessary for them to negate history because St. Paul warned us not to accept teachings that did not originate from the apostles Gal.1:8 and Born Again Movement evidently cannot trace the history of their church into the time of the apostles.Clearly Born Again evangelization has deception as its chief foundation and they even used selected passages from the Bible to deceive people. They usually start evangelizing by asking ambiguous questions such as “Are you saved?” or “Are you born again?”, if the person answers “no or I don’t know” they will tell you that you must accept Christ as a Lord and Personal Savior in order to be born again otherwise you will be damned to hell. And if the person will answer “yes” they will invite you to their church and worship with them. And if the person is a Catholic that would mean that you have to leave the Catholic Church and do away your Catholic beliefs about Mary, the Saints, confession etc. Let us be vigilant not to fall to the snares of the Born Again movement.😉😉

You don't require the word Trinity to be in the Scripture so why do you require the word "personal relationship " be in the Scripture?

I have been baptised, taken holy communion, belong to an anglican parish church but we are a mixture of people, with different church backgrounds,who as a church family of Christians worship and praise Christ, take communion, can be confirmed, pray for our sins to be forgiven , I pray to Christ or pray to the Father as this is who Jesus taught us to pray to,he didn't ask us to pray to anyone else. Only Christ can forgive my sins, nobody else, vicars and priests are sinners too, they are leading worship and teaching us about God , but are on their own journeys with Christ. Everyone who has ever lived including thr Saints are sinners only the Father and Christ himself are sinless. There are two commandments Christ gave us and it is difficult enough as a human being to really keep those commandments without adding anything man made to them. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul this is the first and greatest commandment and the second to love your neighbour as yourself, if you keep these than you keep all of God's commandments.

I need prayers. I know there are probably just two people praying for me, and I’m not even sure about them. I’m a cradle Catholic, and have been through quite a journey. Because of a life filled with struggle and prolonged abuse of all sorts, I became an atheist at some point, and then, about six years ago, I started believing in God again. Ever since then, it’s been a rollercoaster between different Christian denominations. I’ve been studying, losing sleep, I got deceived by false doctrines, but I haven’t stopped believing in the Trinity, and in Jesus. I pray to Mary and the Saints now. I’m making my way back to Catholicism, but there’s a huge stumbling block for me: going to Confession. I have severe social phobia and complex PTSD, which makes every day of my life really hard. I get panic attacks just thinking about going to confession, and this is not about what I would confess, it’s something that I remember causing me great anxiety even when I used to go as a child. Hard to explain, but it just makes me miserable. It would cause me to be in a heightened state of anxiety between one confession and another because I know that the next one is coming up. I confess my sins, with deep sorrow, to God in private. I pray acts of contrition, I desperately ask Him to please forgive me about not managing to go to Confession. There’s nothing more I desire than spending eternity with Him, even if it means centuries spent in Purgatory. I love Him, yet I am afraid. I wish I could find peace, and praying the Our Father is what helps to calm me the most. So, this is my situation, and I’m asking anyone who reads this to please pray for me. Please pray that God have Mercy on me and saves me, despite missing Confession (and therefore the Eucharist, too). I would gladly take the Eucharist but I know it’s prohibited to do so unless one has been to confession first. God, have mercy on me. 😢

Saint Francis de Sales, for example, believed that it would be possible for the majority of Catholics to be saved; though that would be a minority within humanity’s history. The third problem is that this is by far, the most specific numbers ever given, by far, ever. If our Lord didn’t find it fit to give numbers, and no other Saint even thought it worthy to speculate, how come there is one Saint who comes along and quotes a vision from somebody else in order to give precise numbers? I would say the Saint is certainly not infallible in this sermon - but because it also goes against the grain compared to everyone else; I would not be surprised if the vision he quotes was demonic for the purpose of bringing despair among Catholics. This would not be impossible, as even the wonderworking Saint Vincent Ferrer backed an antipope.

​@Pavel No, he didn't. The reason why we have fewer deaths today is due to modern medicine. Something that he didn't take into account as well that people lived shorter lives back then. Lots of people died of diseases faster.

So wait. My salvation is in question because I rebuke the liberal ideologies of the current pope and view them as heresy? I’ve been seriously considering the Catholic Church, but videos like this are what push me so much farther into evangelical NON denominational Christianity. I have the same faith as the thief on the cross. And I do not need to call a bishop “your excellency” to obtain salvation. I worship Christ alone.

Then it makes sense to join the Church He founded.

@@flrevert I don’t understand where Christ said I have to obey the pope. Especially a pope like the current one.

If you believe in the finished work of Jesus you are saved and belong to his church you don’t need to be in a specific denomination to be considered part of the “real” church the church are the people of God who believe.

"I have the same faith as the thief on the cross" - Well said, Amen. If we were to believe in this catholic doctrine, then Christ was not telling him the truth. They have completely moved the bar of salvation to something man made. The "real" church is not the catholic church.

God is so good. No one on Earth can fathom how good He is. He wants everyone to be saved. He rewards all who seek Him.

Yes, and it has nothing to do with being a Catholic.
