I spent 40 years of my life in this “Church”. By the Grace of God, my own daughter led me to the Knowledge of the Truth. It changed me forever. The history presented here l did not know. Thank you Jesus for saving me.

“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I am humbled to be able to say, I am but a sinner saved by grace through Christ by faith in His blood.❤

Being the son of Sicilian immigrants, I grew up Roman Catholic and was Catholic until my mid-thirties. By God's grace, I was invited to a Christian home Bible study group, and after a long and stubborn struggle and lots of reading of scripture, I finally saw the errors of that faith and I became a bible believing Christian. Praise Jesus!

Thank you for your teaching. As a six year old little girl, I was told by the eighth grade girls teaching the ccd class, protestants did not go to Heaven. My mom's mom was protestant. Reading the Our Father off one of her planters that ended with for thyne is the power the Kingdom and the glory now and forever. I asked my mom why grandma's prayer was different than what we said in church. Grandma looked at my mom. Suddenly, without a word, I believe it to be the Holy Spirit, knew God loved my grandma. I knew her to love Jesus and believe I will see her in Heaven.

I was a Roman Catholic for 30 years, then I found Jesus. Now I am saved by the grace of Jesus Christ and I have a personal relationship with my Lord. I have been baptized by the Holy Spirt and am student of the Bible. Jesus Christ is the head of the Church. The Pope is just another man that needs to be saved. The Catholic church has a lot to answer for.

Finally someone is vocal. I love Jesus and following him only. Thanks Johnny Mac.

While in the service, I was asked by a coworker and friend to attend Catholic Mass with them on Sunday. I was raised-up in the Missionary Baptist Church, and was interested in what I might hear and see. Understand, this was in the early eighties, and being a farm boy from Alabama, I had no idea of what I was about to behold. Less than five minutes in, I knew I had made a poor choice to attend. I had never been so uneasy in my entire life, and clearly did not belong there.

I grew up in Catholic school. I’m no longer Catholic. I turned to Jesus and know that I’m saved! Thank you dear God!!!

I was Catholic and went to a catholic high school. Our story was always when a Christian came to our doors. "we are Catholic and we don't believe in any other religion" God had something different in mind for me and my family. We end up in a different country with a hard situation where God opened our eyes to see the truth. I'm a faithful believer of our Lord Jesus Christ and am very happy God had mercy on us and showed us the truth. In my heart I did follow the catholic religion because of my family, but I never really believed. God saw that I needed it to find the truth and He guided me to the Light.

I was born Catholic because my mother was Polish and my father was Spanish. At the age of 12, 😂 realized, while in church, that the Catholic church could not tell me if I was saved. I did not come back to church until I was 23 and moved to Arkansas and was led to faith by a faithful couple- USING THE BIBLE. I am very glad that John did this series. I don't want anyone to be Catholic and I share that freely. I am going to try to write down ALL his sermons in this series so I can share it with my daughter and son in law. Thank you, John, for your faithfulness!!!

God‘s holy word the Bible says
There is ONE mediator between God and man. The man Christ, Jesus, 1 Timothy 2

[glennschmitz]

Revelations 18-8! I was raised a catholic. The bible was in latin, our prayers were to mary, the mother of GOD. I went to confession on Saterday, I made up sins to confess. I prayed to mary the mother of GOD, I was 14 years old when I REALISED this is so wrong and I quit the Catholic church, I was given a bible when I was in my early 30's. I study the words daily and love and trust our lord GOD ALMIGHTY. The word of GOD is food for the soul!

I am a proud Recovered Catholic. I am a now a completely born again Christian living in the TRUTH. Praise God! Love Jesus. Amen.

Coming out of catholicism: at 11 while in church for penance I had gone every week. That Saturday I couldn't think of a sin. The priest said I couldn't receive absolution. I got up from kneeler and said ' I don't need you' only Jesus can forgive me' I don't need you " he chased me out of church.

Pastor MCArthur your message so powerful absorb to my bones and tears

[JesusIsTheGoodSheppard]

In order to be saved, you must confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is the savior. IT IS BY FAITH YOU ARE SAVED! That is the good news of the gospel! Put your faith in this!

If this offends you, I’m sorry, but that is the truth of the gospel!
