EWTN 'The Journey Home' 2-16-26 - Rebecca Cohen Morris - Former Evangelical Protestant
EWTN on YouTube ^ | 01.26.26 | JonMark Grodi

Posted on 02/18/2026 1:16:51 PM PST by Coleus

Rebekah had Judaism in her background, but was raised in a fundamentalist form of Pentecostalism that she rebelled against strongly, going deep into a world of regrettable life decisions.

Through God’s providence and some key relationships, she began to come back to faith, and was surprised to find, after her initial Christian conversion, that her true spiritual home was in the Catholic Church. She now works helping women in crisis pregnancies in Steubenville, OH.

I suspect she now spends most of her prayer time praying to Mary instead of Jesus.

That’s not going ‘home’.

The Bible shows us how to go ‘home’. And nowhere does it tell us to pray to Mary.

Now this guy is God and can judge someone and send them to hell.

Are you:
Baptist
Lutheran
Church of Christ
Methodist
Assemblies of God
Unitarian
Mormon
Jehovah’s Witness
Anglican
Episcopalian
AMEC
Adventist
Pentecostal
Presbyterian
Charismatic
Non-denominational
Or any of the derivations listed above (e.g. Southern Baptist vs. Missionary Baptist).

The only thing Protestants can agree upon is they think the Catholic Church is wrong.

That should make you think why the Catholic Church is special, and the denominations are just sects.

**The only thing Protestants can agree upon is they think the Catholic Church is wrong.**

I believe the RCC is wrong, and has always been wrong. Its offspring still share, more or less, some of the wrong teachings.

The scriptures never call the Son of God, ‘God the Son’; and never call the Holy Ghost, ‘God the Holy Ghost’. Why? Because when you are OF someone, that someone either existed before you, or at minimun you came from that someone.

So, by that truth, nearly all of your list is of the same unbiblical view of the Godhead as the RCC.

And YOU just happen to know THE truth.

Let me guess: oneness Pentecostal?

Another son of Luther who rejects the Trinity.

**And YOU just happen to know THE truth.**

If I am not telling the truth, you should be able to correct me with scripture alone.

**Let me guess: oneness Pentecostal?**

Unlike ‘oneness’ (which I adhered to for a few decades) I believe the Son of God has his own soul.

**Another son of Luther who rejects the Trinity.**

The scriptures reject the three co-equal persons of God, ‘trinity’, concept.

It’s a fact that there were multiple ‘councils’, in the first few hundred years of the church, in search of a majority ruling on defining God. And that fact should show that the subject matter has sufficient mystery about him to make understanding his existance sometimes difficult. Certainly nothing to get enraged about.

correct, I’ve heard that there is only ONE Catholic Church, the church Jesus created and about 30,000 + non-Catholic, Christian/PROTESTant churches. They hate us like the same people who hate Trump and Israel, a derangement syndrome.

So you’re not Christian but on a Christian thread.

Got it.

A Christian isn’t afraid to open the Bible and see if those things are so. (Acts 17:11)

Answer with scripture or scripture references. Or is that forbidden by your church?

At least the (so-called) Jehovah’s Witnesses aren’t afraid to open their bible and debate. But alas, they believe that Christ’s origin was at Bethlehem. When I show them John 8:58; Col. 1:15; and Rev. 3:14, they head for their car.
