John MacArthur : The pope and Catholicism

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.

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!

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!

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

I was sent to a convent school from 6 years old until 11 years old. That child felt the evil during the 1hour service we were forced to attend. I refused from 9 years of age to attend and was punished. God,s holy spirit entered my soul at 9 years of age and i knew, even at that early age that Satan was head of the Catholic church. I'm 65 years old now and their deeds have proved me right.

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.

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

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 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!!!

Indeed He did call them a brood of vipers. He still loved them. He wanted them to change and know the truth.

I agree 100% with Pastor John McArthur. 'm a former Catholic. I was born in Catholicism and even went to Catholic schools. After the Lord opened my eyes when He saved me, there was no way I would ever step foot in a Catholic church again. I also researched the origins and beginnings of the Catholic church. In simple words, I believe that Catholicism is a mother-son cult and these cults go all the way to Babylon times with Nimrod and his mother. My maternal siblings and relatives are still Catholics and don't want me to talk to them about this. All they have to do is just to some simple time saving research and it would be right in front of their eyes. However, God has to open their eyes. My husband and I raised our boys in the Baptist faith and now they are adults who have blessed us with ten awesome grandchildren, none of who are Catholics. Even when I was young and dumb, I never would have bowed before the pope and never would even consider kissing his ring either.

“Nothing is as loving as the truth.” So true.

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.

Pray for me. I'm catholic. We love Jesus ❤️

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!

Good lesson. The Bible says "The truth will set you free". Cheryl Wagner
