I was quite the opposite. After studying scripture i turned from Catholicism and went the other way. In my opinion, too much idolatry, and too many teachings not support by scripture. I also had a big issue with the fact that there is no history to show Peter was ever considered a Pope or was ever the head Bishop in Rome. History shows many things Catholics believe came after the church married the state post Constantine.
Then why so many Catholics are so ignorant about the Bible ? And also why the pope has made really bad like really bad decisions ? Make it make sense for me
Matthew 5:17-20 ““Do not think that I came to abolish the Torah or the Prophets! I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill.”
“Amen, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or serif shall ever pass away from the Torah until all things come to pass.” “Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever keeps and teaches them, this one shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” “For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the Pharisees and Torah scholars, you shall never enter the kingdom of heaven!”
I respect you Lila, but the Orthodox Church remains true to the teachings of Christ and is never swayed by the world and culture unlike the Catholic Church as evidenced by the attitude of the late Pope Francis, who was very influenced by the world and culture.
Early church is good – papacy is unbiblical – end of discussion. Infallibility is unbiblical, Mary as herself born from a virgin unbiblical, indulgences used to fund the basilica (while saying they save souls from purgatory – to buy them) – purgatory itself – all unbiblical
But any human depiction of Jesus is against scripture. Its a graven image is it not. The pic we all kno today is a picture of the popes son. They look practically identical. Remember guys Catholicism came from Rome who were originally against Christians. N y is Mary idolized if the only mediator between us and God is Jesus alone?
None of those arguments hold any water under biblical scrutiny… study the scriptures deeply, guided by the Holy Spirit guidance and your eyes will be opened. The rcc has a different gospel! Not the one taught by Jesus.
I’d like to hear more of this, because almost every church I’ve been to has done the Eucharist, which nulls that argument, and it’s always kinda felt like a symbol and not the literal blood and body of Jesus, that would be a bit weird. I think Catholics often make people stumble and the child pedophilia problem alone to me is a big red flag, it has no doubt put people off Christianity, there’s a reason Protestants rose in the 1600’s. I think the push for Catholicism lately is due to the weak, woke and pop music forms of church right now. But we believers all go to the same heaven people, there are no denominations in heaven. Who cares.
The obsession with Mary, the prayers to saints and not to God, purgatory, calling priests father (which Jesus said not to do), keeping Bible from the masses by keeping it in Latin, the payments priests accepted for sins and reduced time in purgatory….yea none of it is from the true faith, not to mention the blood the catholic church has on its hands, think again, Lila.
No honey Look to the bible for answers not religious churches.the bible alone has everything people truly need,but religious churches only artifacts and rules.
The argument that swayed her was the Eucharist, the greatest blasphemy to ever be perpetrated in the name of Christ! If you believe in the Eucharist, you are in direct idolatry. Full stop! You must come out of paganism that the Catholic Church is so that you you don’t be a partaker of her sins and judgement! PLEASE get into the Word objectively. Do not trust a Catholic priest to explain it as they are also deceived. Objectivity and critical thinking when prayerfully reading the Word of God will lead you to the Truth which can set you free.
Receiving the Eucharist does not require becoming Catholic. The Catholic Church is an imitation of the true church that is not of this world. The gates of hell have prevailed against every church that calls itself Christian because it has not increased in knowledge and mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, and it has become divided, proud and haughty refusing to unite the members and actually receive the spirit of God and the immersion therein along with the fire of heaven. Instead Christianity has become binding oneself to a book believing it is all of Gid wisdom and that comversion is to a form of Christianity and not the bridegroom who's name we take upon us. We need true and sincere repentance, and we need the spirit which is the true authority of God. Peter never became any authority in truth and in spirit until he was born again on Pentecost. Even still, he wasnt tye authority, but Christ was and is theiugh his Comforter which he left woth a few who are chisen, but not the many who are merely called. We need to ascend up from calling to election. In truth, the authority that Catholics claim to succeed from Peter is not really Peter's position, but it is the word of God given by revelation through the spirit of God that transforms one into a child of Christ. This is not bound to any church or kingdom of this world, and no servant stands at the gate to accept or refuse anyone's offering if a broken heart and a contrite spirit other than Jesus Christ through whom all come unto the Father and only through him. His body is the temple and the church. His bride cannot be married to him and be one flesh in division and pollution of wicked and idolatrous traditions. If we can't discern by he gift and power of the Holy Ghost what is and is not from God, then we are making a mockery and imitation gospel.
Protestants are no less Christian by their doctrine if “all hell broke loose” and there were no more churches or bread and wine/juice to use for communion and no baptismal. They would do what they could in place of what they don’t have, but also know with confidence Christ doesn’t require any of these acts to be saved and loved by God – he requires your heart.
Catholics, if left with nowhere glorious to hold mass and no bread/wine for God to supposedly transform into Jesus’ body/blood, and no living Pope, and no pictures of saints to venerate, well… you’d not really be Catholic / Christian anymore, would you?
God Catholics are slow asf 😂😂😂😂
“The gates of hell shall not prevail against” and then says “it has changed with the assumption of the blessed mother”. Does she not hear herself?
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

Just my opinion based on study.
Then why so many Catholics are so ignorant about the Bible ? And also why the pope has made really bad like really bad decisions ? Make it make sense for me

“For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the Pharisees and Torah scholars, you shall never enter the kingdom of heaven!”
But the popes are so…. Disappointing… the thing that drew her to Catholicism is the thing that would stop me from doing so.
Protestants have issues galore. And I would choose Catholicism over Calvinism in a heartbeat.
I believe the heart of God is big enough to know His believers in every stream of worship
Worshiping Mary, worshiping the pope, Satan is laughing it up
Incorrect. The Catholic Church has backslid on so many important teachings… abstention from flesh eating is one.
I can’t behind something that is “Jesus and” something.
I left Catholicsm For Christ 🧏
While it may not retract, it does add. Is that not questionable?
I respect you Lila, but the Orthodox Church remains true to the teachings of Christ and is never swayed by the world and culture unlike the Catholic Church as evidenced by the attitude of the late Pope Francis, who was very influenced by the world and culture.
Peter was not catholic! 😂 Of all theologies to be convinced of?
A simple question, where do you think The Church is, and why can't the gates of hell prevail against it?
🥱🥱🥱🥱 keep lying.
No one can give any proof of any of the succession from the Apostles. Mary's adoration is heresy.
Apostolic succession is the one I'm skeptical about.
Early church is good – papacy is unbiblical – end of discussion. Infallibility is unbiblical, Mary as herself born from a virgin unbiblical, indulgences used to fund the basilica (while saying they save souls from purgatory – to buy them) – purgatory itself – all unbiblical
AMEN!
No. You become a follower of Jesus. Aka a Christian.
so why is worldwide catholic mass attendace nosediving?
What a disillusioned woman. Well, it was Eve who took the bite of the apple first.

There's no other way to God but through Jesus.

I was with her until she said you have to be under the Catholic Church to receive the Eucharist. That’s false
Orthodox is the true Church of Christ by succession
The argument that swayed her was the Eucharist, the greatest blasphemy to ever be perpetrated in the name of Christ!
If you believe in the Eucharist, you are in direct idolatry. Full stop!

Faith plus works? You don’t even need to be good enough, your family can just give the church cash. That’s all against Jesus’s and Bible teachings.
We call no man Father. Jesus alone can forgive your sins, not some priest. This is all made up.
Pay to Mary so she can work for you? What? What? No man comes to the Father but through Jesus.
The Catholic Religion is contrary to the Bible. Believe in Christ and Christ alone. Faith only in Him.

Catholic girls seem so beautiful outside and inside
