Why This Evangelical Professor Became Catholic

From 2000 to 2013 I was heavily involved in Southern Evangelical Seminary - first as a student, then as President Norman Geisler's grad assistant, then as Director of Distance Education, and finally as a Professor. Over the course of my last 5 years with SES, however, I began to see glaring problems with Evangelicalism and eventually found my way into the Catholic Church. This is [an abbreviated version of] my story including the main reasons I went from being an Evangelical to a Catholic Christian.

So you went from believing in a Holy Communion with bread and wine to a transubstantiation Mass with actual flesh and blood. Why?

[@DouglasBeaumont]

@@downenout8705 Because that is what Jesus indicated in John 6 cf. Matthew 26 and the Church has always taught.

[@downenout8705]

@@DouglasBeaumont Just because the church has always taught it doesn't defacto make it true. The church can be wrong, remember it changed its position on a geocentric solar system; evolution and limbo. You also appear to be taking it out of context of Matthew 26: 29, where Jesus makes it clear that he is talking metaphorically. I personally find it telling that the church has only to put it's transubstantiation claim to scientific scrutiny and makes excuses for not doing so.

I was born Catholic, but when I was 12 my abusive and controlling motjer forced me and my 4 siblings to get baptized in the Mormon church with her. It was completely against my will, my 11 year old brother was against it too. Years later when I was at BYU, I went through a spell of trying very hard to believe in Mormonism, because I was so impacted by their claims and it was a real mind----. But the more I researched, the more I realized how false of a religion Mormonism was. I started at age 18 to attend Catholic church again. Immediately I felt I was back home, but I was still trying to be openminded and prayed to God so hard for the truth. (It is VERY difficult to be Catholic at BYU. This was the 80s when the Mormon church was very vocal against Catholicism.) Well my mind and heart found peace and truth in the Catholic church there in Provo, and after years of searching I've never looked back. None of my siblings have stayed Mormon, and neither did my mother after everything she put us through. So that's a snapshot of my journey back to the Catholic church. God bless you.

That is one of the few things that Americans are still free to do; at least for the time being. Americans are still able to worship whatever brand of religion they choose. There have only been two religions in the history of mankind that have persecuted and executed human beings for not worshipping their brand of religion. Catholic and Islam. God's Word mentions how the harlots or Protestants will return to the Mother Church, the Vatican, the woman in scarlet riding upon the Beast. This is the resurrected Holy Roman Empire. A ten nation European combine, led by Germany, with the Vatican riding on its back. After the dollar becomes worthless, the U.S. will enter into civil unrest and one third of the U.S. population will die. The Europeans will become unified economically, financially and militarily. Their population will become some 350 million. They will connect at the hip with South America through a trade alliance making the ten nation European combine the undisputed superpower of the world. Charlemagne will rise again and rivers of blood will flow in his wake. History merely repeats itself and man will continue to make the same mistakes over and over and over again. The Europeans will betray the U.S. and another third of the U.S. population will die. Those left alive will either be executed or sent around the world as slaves. This will be done by the one world church/state union that will try to dominate the world one more time. Satan is behind this but he certainly won't prevail. This will end in nuclear WWIII between Europe and a 200 MILLION man Eurasian/Asian army. Europe will be overwhelmed and devastated yet there will be no winners. God's government that rests upon the pillars of His perfect spiritual law, the purest form of love and liberty known to mankind, God's Ten Commandments, will rule this Earth for all eternity. This is the one body, one mind, one Spirit, the one Gospel, which is the good news of the soon coming Kingdom of God or God's Family Government. This government will destroy the armies of the nations of the world, break in pieces the governments of the world, man will never again rule over man and Satan and his demons who have deceived the whole world, controlling the institutions of this Earth will be cast from Earth Into outer darkness for a thousand years. This will all take place under the authority of Jesus Christ, King of kings, Lord of lords, and His Bride who will share the throne with her Husband for all eternity and assisted by the 144,000 who would lose their life in order to gain their life. Only then will salvation begin for ALL humanity that have ever lived on Earth, who lived a grand illusion of lies and deception, a wasted life having been deceived about what the true Gospel is all about and mankind's true purpose.

Hi, it must have been an intense and profound journey to convert after 50 years. But precisely for this background I would like to ask you a question. I am Italian and at a certain point youtube started recommending Protestant and Catholic videos to me, many of them American. In almost all of them I hear of a clear division at times almost sick. I see it very often in comments, or in interactions. my question is this: in the United States in the various churches do they speak badly of other denominations? I ask because, for example, here in Italy or in the European countries that I have visited and in which I have friends, I have never heard of these dynamics. Always and only taught to me we are brothers and sisters in Christ then at school in the hour of history all the motivations were deepened. Sorry for my English

I was baptized catholic, but never was really religious. In fact, I became a strong and harsh atheist. Especially catholic church was the worst institution ever for me. 20 years ago I left the church. My prophets were Dawkins, Hitchens and so on. It was almost impossible and unimaginable for me, that a guy named Jesus ever existed. I felt woke and enlightened, smarter than all the "relidiots". A year ago my mind began to change. I felt a kind of inner call, which wanted to fill the void inside me. Well, I began reading philosophy, realized, that naturalism also just is a self-proving dogma. In my research, I always came across god. I took my bible, which was full of notes I made as atheist few years ago, began to read the "cruel" verses again, but in another point of view. Hmmm... my world view began to brittle... i wanted to prove to myself, I was on the wrong way and read several books, Blogs, watched Videos and so on. Catholic church was still heretic to me, I was on the best way to become a protestant. But as I found out, there wouldnt even been a bible without the catholic church I doubted sola scriptura. Then I realized, that protestant side is fractured into uncountable denominations cause they had no common sense about the script. I visited catholic church again. Spoke to our priest. 4 weeks ago he welcomed me back in the catholic church. I confessed my sins from the last 25 years, I cried like a little child, was overwhelmed from the grace of forgiveness. I join the mass regularly, try to pray several times a day. It feels like being home. The void inside me becomes smaller and smaller. People Who know me, thinks I am crazy, cause I always hated religion. Now I am 40. It needed 40 years of wandering through a crazy world to find home. Now I can say, I just dont believe in god, I am sure there is a god. And that there is one true church, founded by his son, on St. Peter the rock.

It always seems to me that those who really dig for the truth and learn end up becoming Catholic. And unfortunately, too many cradle Catholics who were poorly catechized end up drifting away from the treasure (I did that too for a while). Welcome back. Glad to have you home.

[@hannahmaningo8884]

Yes indeed! I had this analysis just last night. A lot of catholics who drifted away from the catholic church are those who were innocent. But those who came back, or who just got converted are those people who knew the deepest truth!

[@SeanzGarage]

Many cradle Catholics learn the faith from a child's perspective. It's watered down so that children can understand the basics, which makes sense. Unfortunately, too often after that very little is built on that foundation and a childish understanding of the faith has a hard time weathering an adult secular world view. Faith formation needs to be a regular practice into teen years and adulthood.

[@EpoRose1]

@@SeanzGarageYes! I was just thinking the other day- our catechism stops after confirmation, about age 13 or 14, and it never matures. We mature in other ways, why weren’t we encouraged to mature spiritually? I went to Catholic school from second grade to college, and I’m learning more now.

[@samuelwilliams1559]

The church is built on Jesus not Peter. Matthew 16:13-17 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. The foundation of the church is not Peter but that Jesus is the Christ the son of the living GOD. It is what Peter said. Ephesians 2:20-22 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. Mark 8:29-33 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. And he charged them that they should tell no man of him. And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. Luke 9:19-23 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again. He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 1Peter 2:4-8 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. Mark 12:10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: Luke 20:17,18 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. Deuteronomy 32:3,4 Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. Psalms 18:2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Psalms 18:31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God? Psalms 18:46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. Psalms 42:9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? Psalms 62:7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Psalms 78:35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. Psalms 89:26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. Let us follow Jesus. We are to love GOD and love others. God is love. This is the failure of the RCC. To make a man their foundation. Not Jesus who is GOD.

The older denominations are really struggling (or, worse, NOT struggling) with modernism and immorality. Sad.

I am a 62 years old cradle Catholic, born in Costa Rica and at my time the country was 100% Catholic, to this day with in the Government offices you can see the signs of Catholicism even though it is no longer only Catholic. As some one that commented said, we were not properly Catechized, we just learned this is it, this is the truth. In my case my family was very strong at teaching us this. I came to the USA at the age of 21 and started my own journey, my very first move was find a Church, because that is what we do, go to Church but in my case, I was very profoundly thought about the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Don’t get me wrong I would hope for rain so I had an excuse to not go to Mass. I encountered my self in a very big country where I was the only Catholic around, unless I was in Church, that was very strange and difficult, specially when asked, have you been saved? Long story short in 1993 I had a very extreme conversion from one day to the next, but I was given this gift within my Catholic Church and then started to learn why I was one. More and more fell in love with it. Now I can answer yes I was saved since then. I always say though, that the best Catholics are the converts from other denominations.

+JMJ. Thank you very much Douglas for sharing your faith journey. Congratulations! I am a cradle RC Catholic and your story has inspired me to better understand what it means to be a RC Catholic from birth. I now fully appreciate the treasures that my parents passed on to me 75 years ago through Baptism. I grew up knowing and trusting that my parents passed on the true faith, but I couldn't explain it succinctly as you did like a good Professor; it was unweaving "blind faith" since birth. However, I will certainly do my very best to share this treasure with my children and grandchildren so they too may continue to pass it on to their future generations. May God Bless you in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Peter. Auckland, New Zealand. 28/01/2024. 🙏🙏🙏

Douglas, I just watch the video of your conversion! You inspire me to be a better Catholic, and to love more and more my Catholic faith! We have a saying: Catholics that leave have not been evangelized or catechized; Protestants that enter are the Bible scholars who can teach us. God bless you!

Researching the man made dogma of sola scriptura is what brought me into the Catholic Church 28 years ago. Best decision of my life. I still listen to rabid antiCatholic sermons and debates in favor of sola scriptura and absolutely none of these Protestants have changed my mind that the Catholic Church is the ONE, true Church of God.

[@DouglasBeaumont]

Yes sola scriptura is riddled with issues. God bless!

[@Darth_Vader258]

@@DouglasBeaumont As a cradle Catholic before you were a convert where they HATRED shown for the Blessed Virgin Mary?

[@patquint3291]

@@Darth_Vader258 No hateful attitude towards our Blessed Mother in my (United) Methodist community per se. Mary was pretty much ignored (except at Christmas). And, of course, there were no Marian dogmas believed/taught at all. Methodists are “milder” towards Catholicism because the denomination is much closer to the Church Jesus Himself started, being an off shoot of Episcopalians who are an off shoot of Henry VIII’s Church.

[@markv1974]

Well as latin/roman catholics.. the worst we have to suffer at the moment would be called whores of babylon. Eastern catholic right now are getting blown to bits in the middle east. Following Christ really gets you a big bullseye at the back. Or a heavy cross.. but hey, thats in the bible and we’re told to persevere. Soooo keep the faith brother.

[@agbortabot]

I don't believe in Sola scriptura, because I believe the Holy Spirit reveals all Truth, even things that are not vividly written in the Bible. I honour Mary mother of Jesus, she was a true Saint. Also, I believe that FAITH in Jesus Christ as Saviour & WORKs which is obedience to Jesus' commands (is) the inseparable fundamental for salvation. For faith without works is dead... But faith comes before works

Dr. Beaumont, your "Journey Home" is now my favorite episode of that show and my favorite conversion story in general. I'm sure it was not an easy one. I love your honesty in addressing the questions that began your journey and how you didn't pull the wool over your own eyes so that you could remain where you were. You followed the truth where it led and I find that so very admirable. The Church is blessed to have you! I was raised Catholic and simply drifted. My own journey home began with an introduction and study of apologetics that prominently included the work of Frank Turek. I pray that he too will one day make the journey home. It was Catholic Answers that sealed the deal for me. I'm thankful you shared your story and I think your apologetics background is a wonderful addition to the Catholic Church. I wish you much success as a Catholic Apologist.

[@DouglasBeaumont]

Wow that means a lot thank you! Frank's a friend of mine - great guy. He'd make a great Catholic! :)

Thanks Doug. Welcome home brother.

[@paulwusteman9963]

Douglas's intellectual honesty over what must have been a fundamentally disturbing problem is inspirational.

[@cosmicflame146]

Talking about faith and works is very simple really; the two greatest commandments that Jesus gave us was 1. Love your God with all your heart and all you mind and all your strength- this is pure, unadulterated faith and love of our Father; and the other is 2. Love your neighbor as yourself- here's where the works comes into play. Loving anyone and everyone takes a heck of a lot of work as everyone knows. Yup, the catholics got it right!!

[@DouglasBeaumont]

"Love takes work." Yup - I think St. Paul would agree (Gal. 5:6)! ;)

Sadly, Catholicism isn’t the way to heaven it leads to the same end as Brahman Hinduism, one must be born again without following any denomination dear soul, please come out from Catholicism and follow Lord Jesus Christ in spirit and in truth. Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️! Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget! So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.

For me, early on in my profession of faith (protestant) in my late teens, i just figured, in the back of my mind, if there is a true church, it would be the Catholic church because it tracks back to Christ and the apostles. I would just need to take the time to look into the history. Fast forward to 2024, hello Church! Thanks for your testimony DB!
