I was brought up Roman Catholic. In my 20s, I asked my priest about reading the Bible. He told me if I read the Bible on my own, I'd go crazy. I needed an interpreter. That's why we have the massal book. It's written in a way we can understand. This is how we were deceived. I've been out of the church 30 years now. Praise God He opened my eyes. I pray he opens my the eyes of my family and all those that are deceived by this doctrine.

Christians must speak the Truth boldly.

Like many here, I was a Catholic for 55 years. I always read the Bible but only in the light of the Catholic Church until I left. Once I left and I saw the words in the Bible in a different way, the truthful way. I've tried to convince many in my Catholic family but they just don't want to believe. They refuse to hear the truth. I pray for them and other Catholics that they eventually see the true Jesus Christ. I have truly been reborn in the Spirit. I never experienced this as a Catholic. Praise the Lord. God Bless.

Former Catholic here. I love hearing mike speak! I pray that my Catholic family would come to Christ! If they only knew the peace and joy that the free gift of grace could bring! ❤

[wildblue]

This was fantastic! Former Catholic here, then JW, and now I know what grace is and have a relationship with Jesus. What freedom❤and meaning my life has now

15:29 Christ Jesus alone. JOHN 14:6 "I AM THE TRUTH THE LIFE AND THE WAY."

[hometowngirl]

I married a Catholic 44 yrs. ago. I was raised evangelical. My husband eventually left the Catholic Church and we raised our boys with the true gospel.

[kevinanderson]

I was a Devoted practice Catholic for 53 years till I began to read the Bible
I know exactly what you are talking about Mike

[marysears]

A a former devout Catholic, I learned and am still learning, that it is one thing to come out of the Church, but it is a very difficult struggle for the doctrines they instilled in me to be purged. It is happening a little at a time by the grace of God. When the Exodus occurred, they still had to be delivered from the Egyptian pagan culture that they had been enslaved in.

[Mollycavalier]

This is awesome! I was raised catholic and began having issues as a second grader, I was made to attend counseling from a priest at the age of 8. This is because I refused to go to confession, the priest later tried to convince me that confession was necessary because he the priest was likened to a telephone....my question was then why do I pray at night? That did not go over well. I later questioned the need for a missilet *spelling* over a Bible. I questioned all the creepy statues, and why I should pray to Mary, and what is the reason to have the nun, it also bothered me that the catholics believed my little sister who died at birth actually went to purgatory and not to Heaven because she was not baptized before her death and that my mother bore the guilt of this. I'm sure St. Anne's rejoiced when I left the catholic faith. Thank you for bringing to light what some of us have known for a long time.

Another former Catholic here. Left a few years ago became a fully immersed born again Christian. I had to remind my family I still worship Jesus by the way they were acting. Two weeks ago I was bullied by a Catholic to admit I was Catholic and I did to avoid more bullying. Since then I’ve been wondering if I made a mistake. I took becoming born again very seriously and this video was literally confirmed I’m right where God wants me. Thank you so very much.

[printsbyanne]

Former Catholic here. It was always about religion growing up for me, never an intimate, personal relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I thank God every single day that I am saved totally by His UNMERITED Grace! I too pray that my devout catholic family would soon give up religion for relationship before its too late!

[princesskinuthia]

A former catholic here, Jesus saved me in 2020…everything discussed here is true, wow!

[JesusWept]

Satan wants you to be focused on everything other than JESUS. He knows if your not trusting in JESUS your soul is his.

[ericgriffith]

I believe God will save people who have been deceived but honestly and humbly try to follow Him. God knows our hearts - we don’t see our fellow Christians as He does. However, when someone sees the truth but they turn away because they’re too proud to admit they may be mistaken, that is a very dangerous place to be! I try to remember this when discussing with Christians who believe differently from me. Condemn the error, not the believer God loves. Don’t compromise the truth, but be sure you speak in the Spirit of love and humility, rather than the spirit of arrogance and hate. When Jesus’ disciples did the latter, He said, “You do not know what spirit you are of!”

[Romans]

I find it so disturbing that more and more Catholic's get Very Angry when others try to present the true Word of God. Short circuits any conversation with them.

[dandjmcfetridge]

I love the truth that Jesus is the ONLY Saviour

[isobelmaccuish]

What an excellent man! Every converted Roman Catholic that I know has such a good grasp of the Gospel….it’s so encouraging. God is all powerful. Thank you for a great video! God be praised.

[nanetteekin]

I am a former Catholic also, I am so grateful God led me away from the Catholic church. I was able to bring up my 2 children in an Evangelical church and they both had a saving faith in Jesus Christ. I grew so much in my faith & continue to grow & share my faith with others.
