Catholics make fantastic Christians, once they understand the Gospel of Grace.

Millions and millions and millions every year.

Ping to folks who might appreciate conversion from one denomination to another, as long as that conversion leads to a deeper relationship with the Savior.

The well-known and very popular Catholic couple, Scott and Kimberly Hahn, have been constantly travelling and speaking all over North America for the last few years about their conversion to the Catholic Church. Now these two outstanding Catholic apologists tell in their own words about the incredible spiritual journey that led them to embrace Catholicism. Scott Hahn was a Presbyterian minister, the top student in his seminary class, a brilliant Scripture scholar, and militantly anti-Catholic ... until he reluctantly began to discover that his “enemy” had all the right answers. Kimberly, also a top-notch theology student in the seminary, is the daughter of a well-known Protestant minister, and went through a tremendous “dark night of the soul” after Scott converted to Catholicism. Their conversion story and love for the Church has captured the hearts and minds of thousands of lukewarm Catholics and brought them back into an active participation in the Church. They have also influenced countless conversions to Catholicism among their friends and others who have heard their powerful testimony. Written with simplicity, charity, grace and wit, the Hahns’ deep love and knowledge of Christ and of Scripture is evident and contagious throughout their story. Their love of truth and of neighbor is equally evident, and their theological focus on the great importance of the family, both biological and spiritual, will be a source of inspiration for all readers.

**Scott Hahn was a Presbyterian minister**....

that didn’t know how (Acts 2:38) to be born again,....

**the top student in his seminary class**....

that didn’t teach how (Acts 2:38) to be born again,....

**a brilliant Scripture scholar**....

that didn’t know how (Acts 2:38) to be born again,....

**Kimberly, also a top-notch theology student in the seminary**....

and didn’t learn how (Acts 2:38) to be born again,....

**and went through a tremendous “dark night of the soul” after Scott converted to Catholicism.**....

and they are still in the dark.

People like them are proof that “not many wise, not many mighty....”.

Roman Catholicism is a vain show, top heavy with ritual, and man-made traditions.
I could really go on, but I’m already cutting out too much sleep tonight.

Scott Hahn has forgotten more about the Bible that most men will ever learn. He’s despised by protestants because he converted. Just another one of the thousands of brilliant young theologians that could not keep living a lie.

We have free-floating guilt, can identify the Ave Maria within thre notes, and likely have rosary beads somewhere in the attic.

I have no idea what Ave Maria is and there are absolutely no rosary beads in my house. In fact, when my sister, who was the keeper of our mother's possessions, tried to give me this booklet recording a first communion I had absolutely no say in, I told her to throw it out as it meant absolutely nothing to me.

The pastor of the little independent fundamental Baptist church I have been attending was converted in Lester Roloff's ministry to wayward teens, then went to Tennessee Temple back in the "good" days. The One of the deacons, a retired independent Baptist minister, was saved in mid-life from a Romish Italian heritage, and became a college-trained pastor for many years. I know two dynamic traveling evangelists, both Marine veterans of Vietnam combat, one of them gone on to Glory now, both of Catholic background. I've met many people, TNTC, raised in the RCC tradition, but saved by grace through faith and going on strongly for the Lord. Of course, this is just anecdotal, but a great encouragement to me to be prepared to effectively and boldly share Christ with Romanists. How glad I am to be in the Welcoming Committee for every one!

Prayers for you.

Wow, what an insulting slap to an adult theological position statement. Good thing you hid it behind a genuine prayer to God, otherwise it would be a pretty nasty sin - taking the entire relationship process with God in vain just to try to hurt someone while hiding behind sanctimonious piety. But even that doesn't really matter - if you don't quite manage to fool God, you can still deliver the insult and then just get forgiven in confession. Sweet setup.

Someone walks away from the Eucharist, the single most intimate relationship one can have with Jesus, and acts as tho it’s no big deal. Obviously hadn’t believed John 6. A true tragedy. Truly.

Eating Jesus is the single more intimate relationship we can have with Him?

Not according to Scripture.

Having Him live in our hearts 24/7 is.

Being filled with His Holy Spirit and having constant spiritual communion with Him is.

Eating Him? Not so much.
