Not one word in this man's conversion about our Savior, Jesus Christ...
Christians don't walk along side of Jesus...They walk in Him...You can't get that concept until you ARE in Him...
It's right here!
Friends have said that Arkes has remarked that it is not a surprise that a faith that believes God himself comes under the appearance of unleavened bread is sensitive to the dignity of human life in even its tiniest form.
Even a Jew recognizes the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist!
Only Satan himself could be in the heart of someone who, when presented with a story of conversion to Christ, spews venom.
Dear Brother: Your mistaken. We declare Christ came in the flesh( human) every sunday during mass. If he is Catholic you confess this weekly.1 John 4 requirement. Of course it does not mean anything if you do not have love which is also explained in John’s Letters. A personal allegiance:The Nicene Creed-——— We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
and of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation,
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered, died, and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in fulfillment of the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge
the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he
is worshipped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic( universal church)
and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism
for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

The Eucharistic Doxology
Through Him, with Him, in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honour is yours Almighty Father, forever and ever. Amen.
“Born and raised a Jew, Arkes said he views his newly-embraced Catholic faith as a fulfillment of his Jewish faith. Rather than a departure, he sees it as accepting Christ as Messiah.”
This sounds to me like he indeed accepted Yeshua as the Savior. The Roman Catholic Church is a Christian Church, and I doubt that one can convert unless he or she accepts Christ as Savior, which is the key part of Christianity.
Also, Ben, I’m not a theologician, but I strongly doubt that Luther’s and Calvin’s stuff were “lies”, rather it was just their interpretations of Holy Scripture. Yes, they were fallible men, and yes they were certainly capable of making mistakes and getting things wrong-but then again the same could be said of Catholic theologicians. I fear your Protestant bashing won’t do the cause of Christian reunity any good and in fact may even turn off Protestants who are favorable towards better relations with their Catholic brethren.
