Grant had roots in both Baptist and Assemblies of God congregations, and went on to seminary to prepare for ministry. While there, he was introduced to the Church Fathers, who had a very different view of Baptism than the one he’d grown up with. Seeing that they treated it as a sacrament made him wonder if his view of Communion was also out of step with historic Christianity. After serving seven years in ministry, as both a children’s and student pastor, Grant ended up coming home to the Catholic Church.

He better guard his children from pedophile priests. Forbid the natural, people do the unnatural
And pedophile ministers, and teachers, and doctors, and etc.
It’s not exclusive to the priesthood.

The catholic church is not in the Bible. Thr romans at the time of the Bible were killing the people of the way, which were called Christians. Jesus is the way. The truth. And the life. No man comes to the father but by me.
Jesus said call no one father except your heavenly father, and your real father.
Anti Catholic bias isn’t new to me. But I see you’re into the “whore of Babylon” theology. Satan has you fighting your brothers and sisters in Christ and you don’t even see it.

Most of the teachers at Bible colleges today don’t believe that that Bible is word of God and that it not 100% True. He one of those who doesn’t believe the Bible. Yes he’s back home, alright.
Wow he back home I the Catholic faith. Listen I believe the Bible, when people believe stuff that is not in the Bible. We are not brothers and sisters. Jehova Wittenes, Mormon, cults are not going to be in Heaven.
Every time Catholics get their beliefs from books other than the Bible. The last three verses of the Bible says don’t add or subtract from the words of the Bible.
Pray to Mary, call a priest farther. Confress sins to a man instead of Jesus, purgatory, prist not marrying. Rosary, Sprinkle Baptism, pope’s, all man made centuries after Jesus died on the cross.
You believe the The bible is the inerrant word of God. So here you go:
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
Matthew 16:18

Jesus was talking about Peter answering the question “who do you think I am”
Peter confesses that Jesus is the Messiah, Jesus says: “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it”. Jesus is the Messiah, that is the rock. The new testament would have said plainly that we are to listen to a pope or to listen to Peter before the words of Jesus. It was the the Roman Government hundreds of years later who took made up the Catholic Church. That’s why none of the hocas pokes stuff is not in the Bible.
Again the last three verses of the Bible says not to add or subtract to this book.
Revelation 22:19: “And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.”
Revelation 22:20: “He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming soon.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.”
Revelation 22:21: “The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.”
These verses emphasize the finality of the biblical message, the promise of Christ’s return, and a concluding blessing.
Revelation 22:19: “And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.”
Revelation 22:20: “He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming soon.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.”
Revelation 22:21: “The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.”
These verses emphasize the finality of the biblical message, the promise of Christ’s return, and a concluding blessing.
I’m sorry, but if you would ask Jesus to help you know the truth he would show you.
The book of John statts off.
The first five verses of the Gospel of John (John 1:1-5) establish the divinity of Jesus Christ as the “Word” (Logos), existing from the beginning, creating all things, and bringing life and light into a world of darkness.
Jesus is the word and that’s why he doesn’t want he’s word to be added or subtracted.
Best thing you can do is ask Jesus to help you read thru the book of John.
Jesus is the word “ I will be praying for you
The truth shall set you free.
God bless you
