    A Protestant buddy pushed me (as a cradle Catholic) deeper into my faith soooooo far that He converted Himself too! He is now a deacon in the RCC and an amazing servant leader! Praise God!

    Haven't watched the video yet, but this was the same story as me I was raised as an atheist, then when I converted I was a Protestant. I was very anti-Catholic for the longest time, but I finally found my way home to the Catholic church.

    A reaction video to his own anti Catholic video? That would be interesting. Could also b funny. Luther and Calvin both believed in the perpetual virginity of Mary. Also Luther considered thee Deutrocannonical books scripture and used them in written arguments until he lost an argument based on them, so it was somewhere between 1520 and 1522 he decided they were no longer inspired. I have one of Father Chad Ripperger's books. "Deliverance Prayers for the Laity" It is good and useful. Also I have no idea what can set off a KZread video. I did one fixing my brother's DeWalt drill chuck and it has made me a lot of ad revenue and only took 10 minutes. Others have also done really well but I have no idea what is going to hit and what is going to flop.

    @@elperinasoswa6772 Jesus is the one who started Christianity by proclaiming Himself to be the Creator of all things. He accepted the full authority of the Old Testament (Matthew 5:17-18). He said the religious leaders were in error because they did not know the Scriptures nor the power of God and constantly criticized and rebuked them for corrupting the basis of truth by equating their traditions with God's Word and making ineffectual (Matthew 22:29; Mark 7:13). The Scribes of the New Testament understood that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works, and that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation and that the will of man ever produced no prophecy, but men spoke from God as the Holy Spirit carried them along and that it can only be understood correctly through the uncorrupted illumination of the Holy Spirit, who bears witness to it (See John 14:16-17,26; 1 John 5:6; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21 - also Proverbs 1:23). Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" (John 10:27 ESV). He used the words "It is written (Gk: 'graphó') whenever He declared the will of God (Matthew 21:14;26:234; Mark 7:65,11:17; Luke 2:23,19:46; John 8:17,12:14). The phrase means to be exclusively transcribed and not hearsay. The Bible says His Word is absolutely sufficient in itself (Psalm 119:160). Jesus prayed for every future Born-Again Christian in His high holy prayer: "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth" (John 17:17 ESV - also Psalm 119:142). The focus of all Scripture in the Bible alone is ultimately on Jesus. The writers of the New Testament constantly appealed to the Scriptures alone as their base of authority in declaring what was and was not actual Biblical teaching (Matthew 21:42; John 2:22; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 1 Peter 1:10-12, 2:2; 2 Peter 1:17-19; Acts 17:11). The Bible is breathed out by God in written form and is inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:15-16; 2 Peter 1:20-21). Jesus said, "the Scripture cannot be broken," and in His very last commandment in the book of Revelation, warned not to add to nor take away from His Word (John 10:35; Revelation 22:18-19). To appeal to a tradition or the esoteric ramblings of a fallen human being as the divine authority is unsupported in God's Word. Please read Matthew 24:35 and John 14:23-24 for context. The words' Catholic Church' were never used in the first three centuries AD to describe an official church/organization and are not found anywhere in the Bible. Ignatius wrote a letter to the Smyrneans where he used the Greek term for the church as being 'universal' and can be translated as 'catholic' (little 'c' - the words 'catholic church' were not used together in his letter in any translation. The actual first established church organization was the Coptic Church, which was started around AD 45+-. You might want to use unbiased resources to learn Church history. It was not until AD 313 that the Roman Emperor Constantine decided to provide religious tolerance with the Edict of Milan, lifting the ban on Christianity. Constantine called the Council of Nicea in AD 325 in an attempt to unify Christianity as a religion that could unite the fracturing Roman Empire. Constantine did not fully embrace the Christian faith. Early followers of Jesus were called by many derogatory terms, one of which was 'Christeans' that changed to 'Christian' and warmly accepted by the Church (Acts 11:26). They were also known as Disciples (Acts 9:26,21:16),Brethren (Acts 9:30-32,11:1,14:12,21:17,15:23; 1 Thess 5:25-26; 3 John 1:5; Col 4:15; Eph 6:23; Gal 4:12,31,6:18; Phil 1:14; James 1:19), Saints (1 Cor 16:1, 2 Cor 9:12; Rom 12:134,15:25; Eph 3:18,5:3; Phil 4:21-22), The Way (Acts 19:9), Nazarenes (Acts 24:5), and Body of Christ (1 Cor 6:16, 10:16). No early follower of Jesus was ever referred to as a 'Catholic,' nor were they known as 'Protestants.' A person would convert to Christianity, and not a church, by repenting of their sins and receiving Jesus as their Lord and Savior by grace through His faith plus nothing.
