The Argument That Made Lila Rose Catholic #Catholic

[Thebiggdill]

One of the sneakiest things Lucifer ever did, was divide believers with denominations. Denominations are of man, not God. We are told plain as day by God, to be of one mind.

Catholic church is everything Christ taught against! What are you talking about? He would have been flipping tables in the Catholic church!!!

[pbreese]

It’s not about religion, it’s about a relationship with Jesus. Jesus tells us to keep our eyes focused on him!

[dkelly]

Even Jesus did NOT worship His mother! "And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!” But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” Luke‬ ‭11‬:‭27‬-‭28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The "Church" is not the Catholic Church. The Church is EVERY believer who has placed their faith in Jesus Christ. The gates of hell will not prevail over the church universal.

As a very new Christian I don’t understand anything she is talking about 😅

I'd respectfully disagree that the Catholic church is holding to complete truth. The papacy has changed a lot. Just as the Protestant churches are changing so has the Roman Catholic church. Orthodoxy hasn't changed since Jesus left this earth. That is the reason I became Orthodox vs Catholic or any of the Protestant denominations.

[lisa-susm]

imagine going to an orthodox church for awhile and then deciding the catholic church must be the truth

The thing with Catholicism is the reverence they have towards Mary, as if she’s a deity that Jesus has given authority to be a mediator. Mary was a human being, just like we are today, yes by the Power of God she birthed Jesus without a man; it wasn’t because she “chose” to do it out of her own glory and capability.

Mary didn’t die a virgin, therefore she’s not a virgin anymore, she WAS a virgin “but” everyyyy one who came (and will come) to this earth also came (and will come) as a virgin, it’s not a peculiar asset to Mary alone. After Jesus, she had s3x with her husband Joseph, and had other children.

And throughout the Holy Bible, Jesus didn’t give us any instructions to address Mary as a medium between us in God, therefore to do so it’s called “necromancy” on the basis of “IDOLATRY.” When Jesus taught the disciples how to pray, Jesus taught them “Our Heavenly Father……..(you know the rest), Jesus didn’t refer to Mary as anything more special than we are, Jesus didn’t teach us “Hail Mary” prayer, we “chose” to do it. We gave her that pedestal, and out of that tradition and religiosity satan has found a loophole to divide the church and we fall for it, this is what idolatry is about; we tell Jesus His Word and instructions that He CLEARLY left us are not enough and thus adding our tradition makes more sense. It’s ignorance, and it’s also unrighteousness because we’re “choosing” to do what makes sense to us.

What people are calling “Mother Mary” today has no idea that they’re referencing one of the most wicked principality….that was “always” satan’s plan, to DECEIVE us, resulting in division and distraction.

The beautiful thing about all of this is that, Jesus will have the last say so. And the worst part of this is that Mary herself wasn’t a “Roman Catholic” 😞 (we’re sooo gullible), and she didn’t even d!e as one.

I’m researching too and it kinda seems like people get scared into thinking they can’t go to heaven unless they have bread and wine in a Catholic Church. Also I looked at the papacy line and it’s not a super clean, unbroken chain. Right?

Catholics pray to people who have died and other spiritual beings such as Michael the archangel. This is idolatry. When Jesus instructed, He said to pray to the Father. Never did He say to pray to anyone else. Never did He say to ask other spiritual creations for help. Asking saints to pray for you means people alive on Earth today. All others have died because they are human just like us. Jesus is the only one to raise Himself from the dead and He said pray to the Father.

Saying that Catholicism is true because it's been around a long time makes no sense. Satan has been around a long time too, doesn't mean he's correct. But unfortunately, that seems to be a theme in Catholicism... A twisted understanding of what is. Taking one thing out of context and saying it means something entirely different when the two aren't related at all.

Not saying this to be mean and I'm far from a person worthy of judging others. But i say it out of love. The hope i have is in Jesus and I've seen God loving Christians in the Catholic church despite the incorrect or bad teachings of the Catholic Church. God will show them in His timing. We are all a work in progress.

[Ladybird]

you have been to an Orthodox Church, yet you chose Catholicism ….

[manny]

Any church that prays to anyone else other than Jesus practices false teachings.

[cl]

Same arguments that persuaded me aswell. Apostolic succession, 2000yrs and the gates of hell have not prevailed! That is remarkable. The seat of Peter marks it as the one Jesus built his church on. It’s the real theological questions that lead me to the Catholic Church. God bless you ☺️☺️☺️💯

Salvation is not built on works or church membership, that's not up for debate or up to interpretation, it's an Act of Faith, salvation is in the heart, not the water

[itzesmi]

The Saddest part of Catholicism is that the Bible is not the ultimate determination of truth. Its a combination of tradition, Bible and the Vatican (pope)
Ultimately the religious aspect Jesus was completely against it.

We are not qualified to interpret the bible according to the Catholic Church.

The biggest thing is that the Catholic church IS organized and globally. You really don't have to do much work in figuring out what is the "right" thing to do as they pretty much have it covered.
How to pray, how to worship how to do good deeds etc and the Catholic church gets to say if you're a good Christian or not. Except God never said that people show follow and obey an organization.

[tiffanydaniel]

The one “catholic” church is the sainthood of all believers, not people who are confirmed in the RCC. There’s no other name (or institution) by which we can be saved, save for the name of the Son of God - Christ Jesus. HE alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one goes to the Father except through Him. No institution, priest, denomination, or even correct doctrine saves a person. A person of course must have correct doctrine, but it’s the Person of Jesus Christ who saves and He will sanctify us by the work of the Holy Spirit indwelling believers. We must cling to Jesus, who came to take away the sins of the World.

I’m declaring what the Word of God itself says. The path is narrow that leads to salvation and the gate wide that leads to destruction. We cannot work our way into the kingdom of God. We must simply trust in Him, through His Son and the sufficiency of His work on the cross, and out of our love and gratefulness to Him, seek to live for God.

Cling to Christ Jesus!

[pigetstuck]

it is the lack of historical consistency that keeps me from becoming Catholic

[throwergirl]

Like what he said to peter, And I say also unto thee, Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it
The catholic church will always prevail against sin and temptation

[taurinenrgy]

I was thinking about changing denominations and told God that I would go where He wanted me to. One day in a small chapel during daily mass I saw Jesus in the last supper and crucifixion, when the bread becomes Him. I was trying very hard not to cry. The love I felt was huge. Needles to say, I stayed in the Catholic Church.
