Scott Hahn's Journey to Catholicism 1/6

[@hiswife2002]

I live Scott Hahn, and his wife, very much, too. It's wonderful to have him and so many others on networks like EWTN, where we can relax and enjoy the teachings of the Church, knowing they will be faithfully represented....not twisted to fit into the speaker's understanding.

[@susiefromomaha]

I love this man, his zeal and his DEEP love for TRUTH! I was honored and blessed to join him and Mike Aquilina in Rome in 2007 for a 9 day pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi. He even found our 'misplaced' luggage in the airport! Thank you for this video, it's excellent! I only wish it was longer!

[@Naturalhit]

Scott Hahn is one of the best I've heard. I sure am glad he's a Catholic now.

[@greglogan7706]

Why?

[@jglory71]

Amazing! This is a man illuminated. Alleluia, praise be to God in the highest.

[@femaleKCRoyalsFan]

I read his and his wife's conversion story in ROME SWEET ROME and I LOVED it!

[@alanbourbeau24]

As a former non-practicing Catholic, I can honestly say that coming back to the catholic faith wasn't easy to do because of various reasons. Some of my friends from my public high school weren't the best good influence on me. So I had to figure it out on my own. And soon after I left high school in 2009, I began to reconnect my faith. And on Easter Vigil 2010 I made my confirmation. And the priest who annointed me was filled with tears of joy and so was I. And today I try to inspire people at work to follow Christ. Some of them have already but the rest think it's all nonsense.

[@archieotero9809]

Dr. Hahn got it so right. For an honest Christian who knows the Bible, prays with it, lives with it will certainly accept that the Mass is complete in Christ presence and scripturaly saturated.

[@greglogan7706]

Sorry my friend that is just a most pathetic deception.... Add really disgusting in its denial of the man Christ Jesus.

[@nlizzy88]

what an incredible testimony. welcome home scott!!

[@StStephenPray4Us]

the man is a genius. God is really working through this man.

[@seekeroftruthable]

Praise be Jesus for opening this man's spiritual eyes

[@TheThedragonwarrior]

The Brother replied, well if I planted it the way you said to then we would not have all this lettuce. St. Francis replied God requires obedience. The message here my dear brothers in Christ is not for us to question the Catholic church but to be obedient unto it. I hope this touched you as much as it has touched me. The peace of Christ be with ALL OF YOU!!!

[@rinosuet]

Scott keep the faith, do not be afraid

[@FiberMania]

Hahn is a very influential and dynamic speaker. It's amazing how well he is able to divert people away from the Word of God and look toward human authority. READ YOUR BIBLE....Don't get sucked in!

[@CaliforniaCatholic]

Scott Hahn's series of books on Doubleday are fantastic. I highly recommend them. I especially recommend "Swear To God", "The Lamb's Supper", and "Hail Holy Queen".

[@yellowballpoets]

@vachief i am.The peace of our lord Jesus Christ be with you always.

[@stancan2]

It was the very fact of his search for the "Truth", that he through the grace of God, found the richness of the complete truth!

[@ray3mondo]

Dr Hahn is very articulate and a fine advocate for the Catholic faith. It would be great to see him debating with some of the new atheists like Dawkins.

[@stancan2]

Listen to Scott Hahn CD's.

[@atanboy]

excellent...it's good to be a catholic. GOD bless!

[@TheThedragonwarrior]

my fellow Christians let me tell you a story that I heard that really spoke to me. St. Francis wanted some lettuce planted so he told one of his brothers to plant the lettuce seeds, but upside-down. The brother went to plant the seeds but said to himself, Brother Francis doesn't know what he is talking about so he planted them right-side up. When the lettuce grew up he took it to Brother Francis and then Brother Francis asked how did you get this wonderful lettuce?....(this is continued...)

"To be steeped in history is to cease to be protestant." - Cardinal John Henry Newman

[@Senkino5o]

Pharisee: Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? -Christ Jesus our Lord By Grace are ye saved, through faith, that not of yourselves, it the gift of God. And not of works, lest any man should boast. Eph 2:8-9 Brother, if we have faith in the word of God, with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, then we will, as the Lord is with us, bring about many great works.. Not to be saved but because we are saved. Neither shall the Christian man bow down to graven idols and dead relics, nor worship Mary as God, for holy, holy, holy is the Lord, and we have but one God. Nor will you find anywhere in the bible this blasphemous fetal sprinkling or 'infant baptism' the Romanites do, was our Lord 'baptized' by a few drops of water from the baptistery? God forbid.

[@toweronetwo]

Eli Jackson Good thing the traditions of the Catholic Church are fully in line with the commandments of God.

[@danceswithbears2521]

Eli Jackson Good thing that idolatry is condemned by the Catholic Church so we don't worship Mary.

[@adesertsojourner8015]

The Catholic Church would agree with you that we are not saved by our dead works, but rather by grace through a living faith. However, what kind of faith? “A faith working in love.” Gal 5:6. “You see then that a man is justified by works (love) and not by faith alone.” Jam 2:24 “If I have a faith that can move mountains but no love, then I am nothing.”1Cor 13:2, “Depart from me...into the eternal fire...For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink...” Matt 25:41-42 This has always been the historic Church’s position on justification and salvation. The notion that faith alone will save us is a relatively modern interpretation. The Catholic Church would also agree with you that worshipping Mary as God, or worshipping Mary full stop, is a grave sin. The Church imitates Christ in venerating her with all the honour that the Queen Mother, Ark of the Covenant, and the new Eve deserves. But the Church could never come close to matching how perfectly Christ obeyed the 4th commandment. You’re right that Christ was never baptised as an infant with a few drops of water. The Catholic Church acknowledges that baptism by full immersion is a more perfect symbol of dying and rising again in Christ. However, the Church has always taught that baptism is a sacrament, the means by which we are born again. So whether one is dunked under or sprinkled with a few drops, what’s important is that we are “born again of water and the Spirit.” John 3:5

[@hiswife2002]

Look, I don't want to suffer any more than anyone else. In fact, I personally genuinely DISLIKE suffering. But there is no doubt that suffering will come....it is unavoidable due either to my sin, the sin of others or unrelated circumstances. Thanks be to God that the CC shows me how to take what would have been mere dumb endurance and turn it into something that benefits all of humanity. If I have to suffer, at least I am empowered to turn it to good for myself and for the whole world.

[@4everjesusrules]

Heck I'm still waiting for your correspondence, and How about you point out the passages to me, I really would like to know from your angle

[@napatkst1203]

Awesome

[@popest.victori5389]

No wonder Bro if you embrace now the CATHOLIC FAITH because you are a good Protestant Pastor before. God Bless bro.and your entire family that may you serve an inspiration to your fellow Protestant faithful. WELCOME HOME, WELCOME TO THE TRUE CHURCH FOUNDED BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE ONE HOLY CATHOLIC APOSTOLIC CHURCH.

[@mpenaco]

@abukid Thanks for the encouraging words brother.

[@debowiec3]

Love the theme.....any ideas where to get the c.d......if it's available?

[@gtepp031387]

@matforsbon I look at all the miricals in the name of JESUS done throughout time and my joy is complete my doubt is gone.

[@TheHardout2005]

My dad was prebyterian too! He converted :)

[@humanrightslawyer]

@mandy718 Thanks for uploading this. In fact, Scott Hahn has written a book on the role of Opus Dei for his faith. For Prof. Hahn's view on Opus Dei I recommend his book "Ordinary Work, Extraordinary Grace" which also makes the Opus Dei more accessible.

[@xtrashed]

Go to Scott Hahn's website and there is contact information on there. :)

Hello does anyone know the theme music to the journey home, artist and title please? Many thanks!!!!

[@dwcornel1]

@RIMBR With the deepest respect for your thoughts, I am a Christian from a non-Calvinistic church. We study the bible but with regard to history, we use history a lot to help understand the time and place of the scripture. As a Christian, I would never tell someone not to see a Theripist for social anxiety, I have. God created these people to help us, like Doctors and car mechanics. I have never denied reson but I do not agree with substitution of the scriptures as I see happening.

[@rusda2]

@RIMBR may you be in His kingdom my friend, take care.

[@jasonzilwits3024]

Sorry,it was before i read your last comment.I browsed your channel,but didn't find an option for pm.Could you help,for i have never used that option with the new google +.

[@sunsad]

Is this "The Tape" that is mentioned in "Rome Sweet Home"?

[@chichi2joe]

@onclave6 Is that the stand of Catholic Church or is it Evangelical stand? Can you explain what you understand by salvation by grace, RCC's way and what you understand the Evangelical stand?

[@jennykhoo6859]

One should not be judgmental. I shall pray for the Holy Spirit to grant you the wisdom

[@FiberMania]

@Luke24v45 That's a very good question. I will look into it!

[@gtepp031387]

@goldmen7 I would love to correct ur thought on the Catholic church. What denomination are u from?

[@mapollo]

@Cherubaby "Roman Latin Language" And what language is that? Care to fill us in?

[@chichi2joe]

@onclave6 What do you understand by Solo Fide?

[@RealScarlett33]

I agree. Thank you! (Btw, I love your website.)

[@Habackuk24]

In these clips Hahn speaks about the real presence in the Lord's supper and of baptism as uniting us with Christ, not only a symbol. Makes me wonder why he did not look into Lutheranism. He does talk about pergatory too, but then he does not quote the text (1 Cor 3), but only refers to it. It does not speak about being pured in fire or suffering, only about being saved but having ones work being burnt (and in context it's about those who are building the congregation by teaching it).

[@LatinRiteChristian]

@mandy718 Amen! The nature of authority is the first topic that should be brought to the table of dialogue between Catholics and Protestants. The question remains...Is the Bible Alone the sole authority in Christian Faith, or did Christ actually delegate authority to a fallible human being (Peter) to infallilbly interpret the fullness of truth?

[@stancan2]

Absolutley! Scott Hahn "IS INSPIRED" by the Holy Spirit!!! He is a very Educated Man! He "KNOWS" Scripture. He Knows History. He has found complete TRUTH and will TEACH IT to those who truly "SEEK THE TRUTH!" LISTEN TO ALL YOU CAN OF WHAT THIS MAN IS SAYING FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! Amen

[@mpenaco]

@HokieBlitz77 I tried posting a question there but I got no answer.

[@yellowballpoets]

@vachief The diference is that Jesus himself says it is not a symbol but a new covenant and they were done in blood in the old Testament.This view has been held as true to scripture throughout history by most denominations. forgive my bad spelling.

[@SolaCatholica]

@Cherubaby Because that is obvious to any christian with common sense and a history book or an encylopedia. The first christians had already transferred the sabbath to the 1st day of the week (sunday). It even says so in Acts 20:7 and 1 Cor 16:2. BTW Where in the bible does it say that everything should be in the bible?

[@StarryNight316Jesus]

@rtarasiak will gladly continue this with you. :)

[@bishopsheen1985]

Hi, bobby t. It's a good question. I haven't personally heard Dr. Hahn say that, but he has a style of using genesis (and the rest of the old testament) to make points about catholic teachings, so it's possible that he wasn't being literal. I'm not sure. I've heard Father Barron and others say that genesis is not meant to be taken literally but to be used to understand theological truths. God bless you.

[@yellowballpoets]

@vachief what about the lutherans,Methodist,anglicans and Orthodox are they also having trouble making the same distinction that the bible is true on the eucharist.

[@FiberMania]

When a person realizes that he is saved and will absolutely without a doubt going to Heaven, strictly because of what Jesus did on that cross, suddenly his motivation to obey God and live a sanctified life changes. Out of pure gratitude and love for saving our soul from eternal danmation we begin to live a more christ-like life.

[@aerokpc]

@RIMBR I don't believe my statement was ignorant, as it was a point that Dr. Hahn made in his talk about his own conversion experience. Catholics believe that authority of the earthly church rests in both scripture and apostolic authority of the Catholic Church, while Protestants believe in the "priesthood of all believers" and their freedom to interpret the bible. You did not even make an attempt to point out to me why you thought my statement was a misconception.

[@dallas998]

There is an excellent book by Carl Keating which addresses directly the non-Catholic tendency to discard all sources besides the Bible. Not enough room here to even discuss this statement, however, the book is: Catholicism and Fundamentalism: The Attack on "Romanism" by Bible Christians Maybe the ideas as put forward in this book will add depth to your inquiry.

[@catholicapologetic10]

@vidcodex09 Is that good or bad.

[@DarthMambo]

@EGMAG He's his "father" in the sense that he is from the "line/house of David" rather than his direct son

[@davidemtl]

we should try our best to lead them to the truth, we have corresponded before, our differences are that I believe you don't think there's any option for one to go to confession...correct?

[@jasonzilwits3024]

God bless you,brother.Most christians i have seen commenting in sites like this leave after a few comments,because they have other important things to do,i persume.But catholics seem to have so much free time to indulge in these worthless debates,worthless unless God gives the humility & grace to the person who is in error to accept his fault and repent,which is the only reason why christians are here.

[@WorkingCatholic]

"The prayer of consecration has been totally rewritten." Please show me. What were the words before and after this great change? This way I can see for myself that they have been "completely re-written." What I hear at Mass sounds just like any of the synoptic Gospels or 1 Cor 11.

ronnie knight I bet you copy and paste this

[@jasonzilwits3024]

Yes,you are right( i just got confused as i was quoting it from my memmory).Remember Jesus reffered to holyspirit as a person.He told disciples before he ascended to heaven. that he will send a comforter who will lead us into all truth.This is the holy spirit.

[@FiberMania]

@Luke24v45 Were Zechariah and Elizabeth counted righteous because they kept all the commandments of the Lord? Or was their keeping the commandments a result of their righteousness?

[@WorkingCatholic]

Here's a simple question . . . Was the Church established by Jesus a "Bible-based" Church or a Sacramental Church? Read the book of Acts. Read the writings of the earliest Christians. Learn how the early Christians worshiped and what they believed. You'll quickly see that they were all thoroughly Catholic and none of the Protestant heresies of the past 500 years existed.

[@4everjesusrules]

Well I am really interested in knowing more, why not send me a pm and we can discuss this, I am always looking for truth

[@yellowballpoets]

@vachief No offense was intended ''I am the living bread that came down from heaven.If anyone eats this bread he will live for ever.This bread is my flesh,which i will give for the life of the world.'' i do not see any symbolic gesture nor am i stretching verse.these are Jesus words in John6;51-52

[@Teachering]

@vidcodex09 I've only recently discovered Hahn and am, therefore, probably not as familiar with him and his thinking as you are. However, I'm not clear what you mean by his "brand or form of Roman Catholicism". As a Roman Catholic, I find nothing he says at all alien to my understanding of Church teaching.

[@cdputnam]

If Paul said this to the Judaizers who merely added circumcision to the Gospel “You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace." (Ga 5:4) How much more it applies to Rome with her idols and sacraments.

[@mpenaco]

@HokieBlitz77 "They may not be free from original sin but they are certainly free of actual sin, since they are not conscious of their actions!" But why does your church teach that Mary was free of both original and actual sins? Did Paul make any exception when he said "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" in Romans 3:23?

[@tbuck501]

@joseph82069 You are correct that we can't know we are going to Heaven. Paul wrote: Phil 2: 12 - "So then, my beloved, obedient as you have always been, not only when I am present but all the more now when I am absent, work out your salvation with fear and trembling." If once saved, always saved was true, what would there have been to fear? Would they not already be destined for Heaven? What was left for them to "work out?"

[@gtepp031387]

@matforsbon and do u know that the surpreme court ruled in 2005 that atheism is a religion?

[@4everjesusrules]

So tell me, What church is the origial church, have you done your research on church history? and out of over 36,000 different protestant churches that have only existed for at most 600 years and the Catholic Curch that has cotinued for over 2000 years, which one is right?

[@4everjesusrules]

I never deleted it at all, Just like how some of your comments had been removed,yet I never said anything

[@FiberMania]

@Luke24v45 So would you take this to mean that Zechariah and Elizabeth were sinless, like Christ?

[@turningtide1]

@vidcodex09 pardon, i had to look a while on why i simply responded "not so". you wrote that Mr. Hahn practices Catholicism in a way that is not shared by most Cats(:-). he's not deviating from classical catholic theology. remember catholic just means universal. there are different ways of praise for different personalities.

[@jasonzilwits3024]

Do you know/believe the holy spirit of God helps us to correctly interpret the bible?

[@kkallebb]

OK, I listened to this, but I still don't get why he became a Roman Catholic. Was it because of the RC doctrine of sacraments?

[@Mcstroke57]

@uncatila What did I tell that was wrong ?

[@4everjesusrules]

Although there are many that do not understand the Catholic Church, that love to bash the Catholic Faith, I want to say that I forgive you and will pray for you,

@baldonebear I just read in Luke that the Father of Jesus is King David. How?

[@RobertTarasiak]

PLEASE look up on you tube: "Tell Catholics The Truth" This video will truly open your eyes to Roman Catholcism and the deeption of it and the history of it!

[@CaliforniaCatholic]

@RIMBR That is because protestantism appeals to people with one-liners, like "Are you saved, brother?", whereas Catholicism requires some intellect in order to get into the details of theology and ecclesiology.

[@WorkingCatholic]

@rtarasiak " Romans 3, Eph, 2:8,9, Rom, 10:9-11" These are verses that Protestants like to use as "proof" of the non-biblical notion of Sola Fide. Please tell me where the Bible says we are saved by “faith ALONE.” The only place where the words “faith alone” appear together is in James 2:24 where it says “a man is justified by works and NOT by faith alone.” How do you reconcile this? What about Mt 7:21, Mt 19:16-17, Mt 6:15, Jn 6:48-58, Phil 2:12-13, Eph 2:10, Rom 2:13? Plenty more if you want?

[@jasonzilwits3024]

So according to you what is the test to find out an infallible interpreter?

[@WorkingCatholic]

Part 3 This is how you could show that you really believe in Him--by following His command as Catholics have done for 2000 yrs. Every Christian in history believed Jesus until less than 500 yrs ago when some Protestants began teaching that the Eucharist is not real--that it is only a symbol. Was every Christian in history wrong? Your ancestors believed. You claim to believe in Jesus, but then you stop short of full belief because "this is a hard saying." (60) Follow Jesus' teachings, not men's.

[@catchzz]

I would suggest also searching for the 5 video series from Alex Jones on youtube & listen to this former protestant minister. He learned Greek, etc. to study the ancient writings left behind by the early Christians. He found the teaching to all be in line w/ the Catholic church & he was scared. Go ahead & listen, what can it hurt? I really dont think that Jesus wanted to create confusion when he said the pillar of truth is the church. If its all so easy then interpret it the way Jesus said it.

[@Mcstroke57]

Ever wondered why Roman Catholicism is in Rome and not in Israel ?

[@StarryNight316Jesus]

@rtarasiak Exactly, Acts. You can read over and over again about the handing down of Tradition. By the way, I feel that what you are saying is being presented in an aggressive way and I apologize if you feel the same about my approach. I'm simply trying to explain why Catholics might believe a little differently than you do. If you're going to argue for the sake of arguing then I will not reply to your comments anymore. But if you continue the conversation because you're curious then I

[@yellowballpoets]

@vachief No that would be naive. But i am convinced that it is not symbolic in John 6;39-59. If as a Christian you believe Jesus rose from the dead because scripture says it why can't you believe in the real presence when scripture says it?

[@4everjesusrules]

Sure, I will send you a mesage

[@StarryNight316Jesus]

@rtarasiak In the original translation of Scripture "brother" could have meant cousion, uncle, or even a close friend. "Brother" was much more broad in Jesus' time then it is today. The Sacred Tradition of the Catholic Church is actually supported by Scripture in 2 Thes. 2:15 and 1 Cor. 11:2. (Before you go throwing Col. 2:8 and Mrk 7:8,13 at me, Paul and Jesus were talking about tradition with a lower case "t." "T"radition is the teaching Jesus gave His apostles, who handed it down to us

[@yellowballpoets]

@vachief John 6;39-59 cinvinced me that Jesus himself says its literal,and st Paul says in corinthians that it is a sin to take communion in a profane way,he would not say that if it was not literal.

[@jasonzilwits3024]

Repeating your question again and again,when i have already given the answer is annoying.Please read my previous comments.God bless you brother to see the reality and farewell.

[@StarryNight316Jesus]

@rtarasiak Mary isn't a goddess, it was the redeeming act of the Cross working backwards to save Mary from sin. (God IS the Author of Time.) I hope this clarifies and if you have any more questions you can PM me if you want. :)

[@redeemerslove]

@WorkingCatholic Actually, Peter talks about the "unstable who distort Scripture to their own destruction" (1 Peter 2:10). Protestant's are definitely unstable. Ask the individual Protestant what his doctrine about the Eucharist is, then ask him six months later. I would be you see some shift in their doctrine. That sounds unstable to me.

[@jasonzilwits3024]

I suggest re re reading it,honestly...
