Thanks for the link, fren but I will not be watching it nor becoming Catholic. Jesus only needs to die once for me and no man has any authority equal to Jesus or God.
Amen!!
Solus Christus amen
You don't know what you're talking about.
Catholics deify Mary. They pray to saints. They call preachers "Father". They have confessional. Etc.
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time."
1 Timothy 2:5-6
"But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ."
Mathew 23:8-10
No, we don't deify Mary. We ask for her intercession as you or I would ask our Earthly mothers for help. So what if we call priests father? In Matthew 23, Jesus is reprimanding the clergy who are not following His Father's teachings. You can't nit pick and apply phrases. Do you not have a bio father? Were you made in a lab?
Confession is like therapy but free.
Q said not to divide and I'm afraid that is exactly what you and others are doing on this thread.
The funny thing is I don't see Catholics here putting down Protestant faiths. My attitude is we all believe in Jesus and God if we're Christians.
Jesus said, "For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."
Great video!

Asks a question which is answered then he responds with 'I am totally confused about Catholic doctrine and I like it that way therefore I will not be looking at the link you sent me that may help in removing some obvious confusion. No thank you very much!'
😂 Priceless.
He isn’t confused about the catholic doctrine, he’s confused on the celebrity push towards it.
If you put your faith in Christianity, you’re a fool. The evidence is that Christianity has been used to oppress people and rip people off and that’s sick. But if you put your faith in Jesus Christ, you’re very wise because the evidence is he doesn’t come to rip us off of anything except our sin, guilt, death and hell. He comes to give us a gift of forgiveness and eternal life.
Exactly. Thanks, fren. :)
Welp. You got me. Where do I sign up?
Hey, fren. I'm not asking about Catholic doctrine. I am very much familiar with it as I was born into it and raised in it and left it because it is false doctrine. I was merely asking if Brand was now Catholic and as another said and why the celebrity push towards it lately. Have a good day!
Doesn't appear you are familiar with it from the looks of your comment.
Birth status or rearing in something doesn't say much about an understanding of something anymore than a liberal birthed in America and raised in a constitutional republic says about their understanding of it.
Have a good day!
Trust me fren, I understand it. I've lived it. The scales have fallen. But I'm not going to cast pearls before swine on this one because I know you will never agree with me and you are only defending the system you have come to know and love. I pray one day you will see the truth. Cheers and God bless you, fren!
In fairness, I don't know that I'd watch a 48 minute video about a conversion to Catholicism either, especially when I'm sure it can be boiled down to just a couple of sentences. Not because that I'm afraid or too lazy or it goes against my religion etc., but because that's a lot of time to invest into someone's personal journey that I have no relation to in any fashion.
That would be a fair assessment of what he said if that was indeed what he said.
Except I didn't give an assessment of what he said, I agreed with him based on my own, separate grounds.
