I'd like to tell a brief story of why I'm a Catholic today. Growing up, my family weren't actually regular church-goers, or connected to any particular denomination, but from time to time, my mom took us to lots of various churches -- depending on where we happened to be living at the time. (we moved a lot) When I was 15, we moved to a rural area known as Irish Settlement, and not far from our farm was a small 150 year old Catholic church. I'd been inside lots of different churches by then, but I'd never stepped inside a Catholic church. So, one day, out of pure curiosity, I walked up the gravel road and went inside to explore that church just to see what it looked like. Since it was completely open at that time, I walked around every part of that little church, and knew for a fact that there was no one else there, but me. I was alone. However, I became completely aware that I was NOT alone there. I sensed there was a living Being there, and my attention was drawn to the "box" at the center of the Altar. Keep in mind, that Being I sensed was never inside any of the other churches I'd been in. But, I knew He was there -- right up front at the center. And, keep in mind that I knew NOTHING of the Tabernacle, or The Holy Eucharist. I knelt. Upon leaving, I found a Baltimore Catechism laying on a small table at the entrance. So, I stole it. Curiosity and thievery. That's why I'm a Catholic.
Haha! What a nice story I’m considering Catholicism myself. I was born Catholic but I was an atheist for my teenage years and my twenties. Now I’ve come to God and looking back into the churches
Amen! and lol
Don't worry you did not steal anything. Catholics hate to throw away religious books, so they intentionally leave them in the churches for anyone interested.
Oh wow! So beautiful ❤❤❤
Amazing
Steve Ray,may ur preaching change those who left the catholic church.
No, through his example they will only learn how to be vain and pretentious.
@Eric Cartman I don´t answer to sarcasm
@@italianoetnico.calabreseve9262Of course I have my arguments. I had communication with him and he exposed himself as what he is, a vain and pretentious person who calls himself a catholic

@@italianoetnico.calabreseve9262 👍
I had been away from the Catholic Church for forty years and it was the Eucharist that brought me back home to the Church that Jesus founded, praise God! I love hearing about the Eucharist, preach on Steve!
We worship Christ, Christ IS the Eucharist.
"Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.'" - Luke 22:19
Time for a question for YOU: What does the bible say to do in order to be forgiven of our sins??
Also, go read what the Church Fathers had to say about all of this. Remember, every Christian believed in the True Presence until the Protestants decided to ditch that, thinking they were more wise than 1500yrs of Christians before them. Martin Luther even believed in the True Presence. Every saint ever believed in it.
tim spangler John 6: 22 The Bread of Life Discourse.22* The next day, the crowd that remained across the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not gone along with his disciples in the boat, but only his disciples had left.23* Other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten the bread when the Lord gave thanks.24When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.25And when they found him across the sea they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”26Jesus answered them and said, “Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled.27Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life,* which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal.”l28So they said to him, “What can we do to accomplish the works of God?”29Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent.”30So they said to him, “What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do?m31* Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, as it is written:n
‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
32So Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.o33For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34p So they said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.”35* Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.q36But I told you that although you have seen [me], you do not believe.r37Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to me,38because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me.s39And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it [on] the last day.t40For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him [on] the last day.”u
41The Jews murmured about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,”42and they said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do we not know his father and mother? Then how can he say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”v43Jesus answered and said to them, “Stop murmuring* among yourselves.w44No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him on the last day.45It is written in the prophets:
‘They shall all be taught by God.’
Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me.x46Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.y47Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.48I am the bread of life.49Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;z50this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die.51I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”a
52The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat?”53Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.54Whoever eats* my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.55For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.56Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.57Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.b58This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.”59These things he said while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
The Words of Eternal Life.*60Then many of his disciples who were listening said, “This saying is hard; who can accept it?”61Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, “Does this shock you?62What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?*63It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh* is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.64But there are some of you who do not believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him.c65And he said, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.”
66As a result of this, many [of] his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him.67Jesus then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?”68Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.69We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”d70Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you twelve? Yet is not one of you a devil?”71He was referring to Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot; it was he who would betray him, one of the Twelve.e
tim spangler, The Bread is not literally bread that came down but his whole body, blood, soul and divinity came down from heaven.
but if you dont believe like the jews are, its up to you, were not forcing you. Were just here to tell you the Truth. Becuz a lot of non- catholics converted into Catholics even Atheist converted into catholic, why are they converted? because of Gods Love that they were given a chance to enlighten their hearts by the Holy Spirit, thats called pentecost and I pray and hope that you too will be Enlightened by the Holy Spirit someday. God bless you.
In the Eucharist, God remembers and renews the convenant made in Christ's blood and body. The Eucharist is The Passover meal prescibed by Moses which included eating an unblemished Lamb. Jesus as Lamb of God (Revelation) is the Passover Lamb whose flesh and blood would be eaten in order to gain eternal life.
So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.(John 6 : 53-55)
CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF STEVE RAY!!! What a blessing to our church. God bless him.
Glory be to out God.
Love you dear
And you are a blessing too...😇
Love his testemonies
The Catholic Extrovert, get enough of him soon. And start being unable to get enough of Christ and Gods word.
Haven't been to the Mass for a long time. From time to time i feel so deep and strong hunger for Eucharist. I believe that God's grace calls me back to the Lord's table and I feel so sad and like my soul from the deepest core is craving for Most Sacred Body and Blood of our God. Holy Mother of God pray for us sinners.
Alphonso Nanook he’s waiting for you to return to him at his supper
@@emiliosanchez9406 thank you my friend. Greetings from Croatia.
Thats exactly what is happening to me right now.
@@camila_costa12 we should go to confession and start to do it regularly. man I remember when I use to live like that, confession every Saturday, mass every day if possible, I was like a lion,like an eagle man so high and strong my soul was, now I feel like I m carrying bags of stones which are killing me slowly.
@@ALPHONSO_NANOOK Hi, i recently went to confession and now im going to mass every sunday.
How are you doing?
I have recently discovered Steve on CZcams and I am hooked! Thank God for him! I love to hear him preach the Truth.
@Stephen Ray Perry Marietta, Georgia.
Who can tell me where on earth had this man been before this time..Heavenly Father may your holy name be praised the more in your holy church for such a wonderful servant of yours you gave to your church,he is really a gift to the holy Catholic Church ..Steve you are awesome.
False prophet not a priest
He is a heretic making money on u tube
Your so easily deceived
@@walterromanoff2953 Steve Ray never claimed to be a prophet or a priest. If you don't believe in what he preaches than good for you.
This Man is a Phenomenon! As an Austrian Catholic, I'm enthusiastic by his speech, by his spiritual temperament. He's full of the HOLY SPIRIT!
I've never heard such a speech, such an Explanation of the HOLY EUCHARIST in my whole life. THANKS!
It always touches me when people talking about how happy they are receiving Eucharist. I also love seeing when people are being very reverent when they receive the Eucharist!
Christianity is about Jesus dying on the he cross for your sins not the Eucharist
@@walterromanoff2953 - Just shows that you have not read the Bible in it:s entirety, because you have missed these verses...{anyways Jesus already knows those who don"t believe in the Eucharist}
John 6: 52 If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world
53 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
54 Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you: except you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.
55 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has ever lasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.
56 For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.:
61 - But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Does this scandalize you?
65 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe.
Read John 6: 1-65
Thank you. My faith is reaffirmed. I am Catholic. You made me proud to be a catholic.
A Christian follows Christ
A Catholic follows man made traditions
This guy is no priest
He is an Evangelical Protestant lier
Learn your bible
Accept Jesus as your lord and savior
Catholic Religion is dead
Vatican in corruption
Sex abuse rampant
@@waltermromanoff349 hi any proofs
edward magdalena
You want proof that popes and the Vatican murdered millions during Spanish Inquisition
That popes sold indulgences to raise money
If you payed money they promised you would go to heaven
Did you know the Catholic Church spends millions on lawsuits for the rapes of children 👶
Did you know Jesus never said to pray to his mom
Did you know Mary was Jewish and was not allowed to read or learn about religion
Yes that’s true
She had a Virgin birth and then lived a normal life
She had lots of sex and Jesus had many brothers and sisters
This guy preaching is a false prophet
He is no priest so he is a false prophet
You follow him your in a cult
@@walterromanoff2953 which verse jesus never said pray to his mom?
She is always a virgin
She had a lots of sex come on dont her to your own fantasy you sex maniac
Yes he is not a priest nor a prophet he is a layman
@@waltermromanoff349 Stev have made his right path to Lord Jesus. God Bless him. I hope you will find soon, too.
I pray for you Steve Ray and your ministry. May your tribe increase a thousandfold through your ministry of teaching us Catholics what is so great about our faith. I have listened and watched your video over and over again and I am never bored. You are a blessing to the Catholic Church. I Thank God for giving us a former Baptist like yourself to convert to Catholicism because you saw the real truth and the light in this one, holy, catholic and apostolic church.
Powerful message
@@emmaflowertv8788 The only message I hear is something coming from a dirty jesuit, or one of your dirty jesuit devotees, lady.
Thank you Steve Ray...I love how you explain things about the Eucharist.....
Steve Ray could be a good member of the Association of Catholic defenders or apologists of the Catholic church.
He is equipped enough of dogmatic, historicity, or contemporary experience talks in the life of the church.
Being a convert from protestant Baptist to Catholic church is also much of a help on his part to help the Catholic church. And to enlighten the protestants.
Jesus Castanares I agree... I am returning to Catholicism too and Steve Ray is helping me understand more of the meaning of our practices, the history and most why we hang on to our traditions that the Protestants could never understand because they hold on too much with their proof text basing most to the New Testament. I also recommend to search for Scott Hahn... For me, he is just a brilliant bible scholar and one thing I really like about him is his humility and the tone of his voice is so calming calling and persuading us for peace and not really of so much debate between Catholics and Protestants and even so, it can’t be avoided for a debate, Steve Hahn just delivers the truth tracing back the history of the early Christians which is rooted in the Old Testament which the latter will always have a hard time in accepting the truth. God bless us all.
No, he lacks humility and the formality of catholics
The church doesn't require anyone's help brethren.. Jesus is there for everything that happens n will happen to the church and her faithful
@@issacmanasranjan7288 Stev Ray is a true witness and ambassador of Catholic for his former congregation.
I don´t know what we´ve done to deserve to be blessed by this man.
Oh, please!
It must have been something really bad.
Oh, dear. Amazing. Love you, brother Steve. Blessings from Croatia ✝️🙌❤️🇭🇷😊
I'm a convert Catholic too, I was Anglican,very similar. It.was the Eucharist that converted me when I read John 6.......
Jesus said "unless u eat the flesh of the son of God and drink.His blood u have no life in u"
What a Gift we Catholics have, to BELIEVE in the Real Presence..... What a Gift...What a marvellous Gift from God.... Yes it is the Body, Blood Soul and Divinity of Christ in the Consecration of the host.....Lest not forget that we have to be like Children to enter the Kingdom of God, and Children believe what they cant see. God bless all AND SHARE CLIPSS LIKE THESE TO PROTESTANTS....THEY NEED IT...
I take the eucharist regularly because Jesus said "do this in memory of me".
@@po18guy beautiful thank you for this
Beautiful!!! Thank you brother Steve! Godbless you always.
Hi Bro Steve.. our Saviour gave us a hint in the prayer that he thought us.. give us today our "daily" Bread.. maybe He really meant that we should receive Him daily.. i can't imagine how hard it was during the early days of christianity.. and here we are now with all these priviledges of receiving Him daily in the Holy Mass being lazy in our faith.. if a catholic truly believes in the true presence, he will surely not miss these chances.. lets go receive our daily Bread TODAY and EVERYDAY of our lives.. God Bless!
You are what you eat. I love the Eucharist. Jesus born in a manger is in itself significant in the sense that He truly is the food that could satisfy out hunger. The trough in the manger that serves his little bed is where the food for the animals are placed. So for us it seems that from the beginning of time, that He wants us to recognise that he alone could satisfy our hunger and whenever we partake of his body and blood in communion, we also share in his divinity. It is true that we become what we eat not totally but getting there, hopefully.
Brother Steve I really like to hear you on all your testimonies, I pray many could realize as you did to join back to the Catholic faith. Thank you for your testimony.
You are awesome Steve! I pray that through your wisdom of the word of God my nieces will realize that they are not home yet!
There are other classes of Steve ray available on CZcams , will be helpful . God bless you.
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Praise the Lord. Amen!
Thank you so much for this talk. 😍😍😍
THANK U STEVE! YOU ALWAYS SOUND INTERESTING ABSOLUTELY! MAY THE LORD BLESS U ABUNDANTLY, AMEN🙏!
By Saba K. And I was born in Middle East, now Christian CATHOLIC & Canadian.
What they don't tell you is CATHOLIC ARE NOT CHRISTIAN
PERIOD. NOT FOLLOWING CHRIST. ANOTHER JESUS CHRIST
A am a cradle Catholic and I have been invited to protestant churches a number of times by some friends who have left the Catholic Church. I feel that there is something missing in all of their preaching service and Sunday service. I feel empty inside because I am missing the consecration, the beautiful Catholic prayers and most of all there is no holy communion where we receive Jesus Christ physically and spiritually in the consecrated host. You are very right. There is no holy sacrifice of the mass in all the protestant churches. I feel their service is all about preaching and there is no holy sacrifice which we Catholics go to mass for. The consecration and holy communion is the climax of the holy sacrifice. I never went to their service anymore because their is a great emptiness in their churches. I decided to stay Catholic despite their invitation. Listening to you made me realize all the more why I should stay being Catholic. The Catholic Church is one , holy , catholic and apostolic, which all the protestant church denominations numbering 33.000 + can not be and will never be. I love being a Catholic. All my direct ancestors and my family have remained catholic all their lives.
Hey listen to more of this guys talk. That what I know catholic teaching better available. You shouldn't even think of others I think. Bcz they are fake. It's upon Peter that Jesus build his Church. And it doesn't say churches. Listen more to Steve Ray classes , I have limitations to put things up here. God bless you.
DO NOT ATTEND PROTESTANT WORSHIP SERVICES!!! Attending Protestant worship services is a mortal sin. Don't ever make the deal of going to their church if they will go to yours.
@Sterling Crowne What a Joke! Do you mean to say the other denominations are run by holy people, where the holy spirit tells the pastor to buy aeroplane for his spouse?
The denominations other than catholics have no family - I mean no mother, no siblings (saints); most importantly no eucharistic. So it's obvious that you will feel the vacuum.
@@xavieranbu lovely comment.
Thank you Steve for sharing.
God bless you Steve...watching from New Zealand... 😊🤗
Cradle Catholic. I uave listened to this numerous and each tome i learn something new!!! Its timeless and passionate and true!!! Thank you Steve! May all eho listen learn and believe!
Praise God! Thank you Steve . God bless. Amen
He may be a convert but the Baptist preaching lives! Who says Catholicism is borning and that sermons are dull? This is man is an amazing storyteller and a great teacher. Thank you God.
He is a great speaker not a Catholic priest
He is giving you false teachings on his beliefs
That is not the teachings of the pope or Vatican
Catholic priests are boring mass is awful
teachings are false
@@walterromanoff2953 It's wrong to state that only an ordained priest could teach. For one, it's indicating that priest is something above human or at least without error while others are with faults. That's false as we know there are evil priest. Preferably, yes, it should be a priest preaching, as they are a man living as a sacrifice for Christ from their vocation to the practice of their celibacy. However, we also know that the formation that would make good and saintly priests does not exist, or at least is not present in most seminaries now. Therefore, it's not correct to deny someone's intelligence or credentials based solely off their vocations. Secondly, this video and my comment are very old, so I can't remember the substance of this video. What do you mean when you say "false teachings?"
Burning Roses
He is not a Catholic priest you can’t listen to him
Bible warns about false prophets he is giving his crazy opinions not backed by the Bible or the Catholic Church
I will listen to him again and list false statements.
He talks so much about communion
About the body and blood of Jesus
You are not eating the body and blood of Jesus
Jesus was speaking spiritually
Even if you were drinking body and blood
that would make you a cannibal
Christianity is the cross
Jesus died on the cross for your sins
"O Sacrament most holy
O Sacrament divine
All praise and all thanksgiving
Be every moment thine."
Why don’t you worship Jesus son of god
He died on the cross for your sins
He warned about false prophets like this guy
@@walterromanoff2953 The "Sacrament Most Holy" IS Jesus. The Sacrament most holy is Hesus Christ in Holy Communion. It is Jesus Whom we worship, and His literal living Body and Blood, which becomes present at every Mass.
George Penton
Wrong Jesus said do this to remember me
Communion is how we remember what Jesus did for us
He died for our sins
He is our savior
You must accept him and follow him
The cross is what’s most important about
Christianity.
God sent his son to die for us
You are a sinner if you receive communion you are still a sinner
Eating Jesus does not save you
When he talked about his body and blood he was speaking spiritually because he is a spiritual god
He left us the Holy Spirit
Have you accepted Jesus
Are you saved
Have you been born again a spiritual transformation
If your not praising and worshiping Jesus in the spirit you are blind and can’t see
Lost and not found
You must repent and change
Jesus said it’s not what you eat but how you think that’s important
You really think a dirty sinner is clean by going to communion?
Eat some holy wafer given to you by a priest who has raped children or is gay and that will make you holy
Praying to Jesus mom when he never said to do so
Praying to saints
Praying to the pope a man and a sinner
Your holy father the pope leader of your church
you don’t even know?
Shame on you
Do you do rosary’s
Go to confession
Pray for those in purgatory
Have premarital sex
Use birth control
You are no Catholic
Where are your works
Who have you told the good news to
You have done nothing
Eat a wafer go to heaven
So sad you are
@@walterromanoff2953 Walter, read John 6:48-69 and you will see Jesus saying over and over again that Communion is literally His Body and Blood, and that to fail to partake of it means that we do not have life in us. Reject Jesus in the Holy Eucharist and you reject Jesus Himself.
Of course we receive Jesus's Body and Blood in remembrance of Him.
@@walterromanoff2953 And we do not pray to the pope. Where did you get that idea? How could we pray to the pope when the pope is still here on earth?
Just beautiful said. Thank you. Love from India.
Wish all my Christian brother's and sisters watch this video🙏
Praise the Lord for Steve Ray!
Had to save this video. I'd love to teach this way of explanation for my confirmation teens. I learned for myself, too!
Stave Ray you are amazing
I could listen to you for hours and hours ...
Thank you so much for letting us know what Eucharist is I really love love a lot
Steve God bless you!!! 07/31/18 Hopefully you might think about it!! It would be awesome!!!
Steve, God bless you! You put a lot of us true Catholics to shame. Cradle Catholics just do not have what converts do.... They discover the pearl of great price, and are awestruck. Their energy and knowledge of our faith is so refreshing. It's so obvious why Our Blessed Lord brings them home. They are so precious, God bless them all... Our navy seals of the Catholic Church! Tradcat
Thank you very much Steve GOD had blessed you
For protestants saying that is a metaphor: no. It is not.
The word Jesus used to refer to His Flesh being TRULY a food is "alethés", which means THE REAL THING, not a metaphor. In other passages Jesus uses the word "amén" which means metaphor, but not when He talks about His flesh.
It is so simple, friends.
Day Flaubert John 6 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
I would be in agreement with you however Jesus explains what he means by the above verses , same chapter just a few verses later have a look .
john 6 v 63
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
The word quickeneth ( to make alive ) Holy Spirit joined together with our Spirit 1 Corinthians 6 v 17 look it up .
Colossians 1 21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. 22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation
Not through sacraments or behaviour modification but through his finished work.
The American writer Flannery O'Connor replied to someone who challenged Catholic Doctrine on the Eucharist..... _'Well, if it's a symbol, to hell with it.'_
It is a symbol only in that it *IS* what it symbolises.
wilts43 I was hoping your challenge was going to be by way of the scriptures
@@andrewdrew677 I'm sorry. I don't understand your point. Was I unclear perhaps?
wilts43 I do appreciate your opinion brother as we can all too easily become blinded by our own as our flesh is strong .
Steve you made it very clear to me now.
Sir. U have made me understand more about Eucharist
Glory to God in the highest and peace to His people on earth.
It is funny that the people arguing against the Catholic Church are using the Bible which the Church put together.
@Sterling Crowne you have to study the history of the Church. Let me know where you got your information.
The Bible was canonized in 383AD in the council of Rome under Pope Damasus. I am not trying to put you down but please do back up your reasons with facts.
@Sterling Crowne if that would had been the case, we would have millions of Christian denominations and not just 40,000++..
@Sterling Crownethis is what i know.. in matters of faith and teachings, if there are things that needs to be settled in the early church, a council is called and the church continued to be one till 1500s... a council was called by the Protestants too, you know that.. what happened?
@Sterling Crowne There were different churches under one umbrella. You can read in Acts 15, when there was confusion about circumcision, both Paul and Barnabas went back to Jerusalem to meet Peter to take decision. Paul could have decide on his own, since he was filled with the holy spirit; still he went back to discuss. So it was one church till Martin Luther started his own.
@Sterling Crowne Matthew 16 is not just a conversation; rather it was a decision making, which is followed by John 21.
Today, which denomination of the church doesn't have a head? Even a simple prayer group has head, although they split in few months.
Nothing wrong to have a Pope to guide the church, which was created by Jesus by Himself and His Church (Matthew 16:18-19).
I pray for my family relatives and friends that they got the same mindset as me
This man is awesom.
Born Catholic, leaving Catholic and hope to die in Catholic. I'm enjoying each of your videos. Deep teaching
Jesus said search for the Truth
Jesus said I am the only way to the father
Jesus said you must be born again to enter heaven
Jesus died a Jew
Jesus was not a Catholic
His followers or followers of Christ are Christians
Catholic religion was formed hundreds of years later with a pope in charge
Jesus never wanted a pope
Popes have had false teachings and Catholics are lost
Learn the Bible
Pray for understanding
Your proud you were born a Catholic and you have been to lazy to learn other religions and learn the Bible
Jesus said my people perish for lack of
Knowledge and there will be many false
Teachings
Do you do the rosary
Go to confession
Pray for those in purgatory
Have no premarital sex
Have no birth control
No abortion
No divorce
Are you really following the Vatican’s Church
of the Roman Empire
Did you know Hitler was a practicing Catholic
Did you know the Mafia ate practicing Catholics
Did you know many priests have raped children
and nuns and are practicing Catholics
You still a proud Catholic or maybe you just want to be a follower of Christ
Accept him as your savior
Praise and worship him
Accept he is the son of god and he loves you
That’s right!!!! I’m CATHOLIC FOREEEEEEEEEEVERRRR!!!! I love my faith so much. Jesus remember me❤️❤️❤️😩😩😩

Banging that hat in the House of God!!
Hi please give reference for the word meaning "Manna"
Exodus 16:15, 31
And when it had covered the face of the earth, it appeared in the wilderness small, and as it were beaten with a pestle, like unto the hoar frost on the ground. 15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another: Manhu! ["What is this!"] for they knew not what it was. And Moses said to them: This is the bread, which the Lord hath given you to eat. And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed white, and the taste thereof like to flour with honey.

Very Well said . I like Steve Ray's explanations . God bless you Steve Ray ... Keep up the Good Work ... 💞
@The CatholicTV Network
. Could you explain why the speaker didn't take off his hat?
Because he didn't want to.
We can accept him as he is....then what is the problem???
He did not want to show off his halo :)
That's not a Holy Mass... Or maybe he doesn't want to destruct the people of the shiny reflection of his forehead 😇😇😇 joke only...
Epifanio Viar
He is not in a Mass or any form of worship and probably in a conference room not a church giving a talk. We take off the hat during worship otherwise men would never wear hats because we are always in the presence of God. But not in the same degree every where as during worship.
The protestant mentality it's the same as The pharisees who rejected Christ and called him "blasphemous" for giving His own body and blood to us for Eternal life
I am a catholic from Philippines.
My wife is Filipina and we go to Mass every Sunday!!!
God bless you Steve.
In this pandemic, am I truly mssing Jesus in the Holy Eucharist.
I'll pray that I may be able to receive Him again.
Jesus, my master and comforter, give me peace and your solace which none can snatch from me.
Kindly hear my prayer and let receive thee again worthily in the Holy Eucharist and your holy blood which heals and nourishes surely and eternally.
John 6:51
John 6:53
John 6:58
I think you missed this or maybe just overlook it.
Thrice does Jesus state plainly, despite which you overlook it and teach others to overlook it as well.
This isn't the blood and flesh of calves, but the body and blood of God Himself which he gives to those who believe in Him.
This is not just for you but for whoever who happens to read this.
@Sterling Crowne 2000 + years of the Eucharist and even Luther never denied Christ in the Eucharist and here you are reducing the Eucharist to a mere 'metaphor'.
Do you claim to be bigger than any of these in matters of faith?
John 6:55 "For my flesh is food indeed and my blood is drink indeed"
Is this what you call a 'metaphor'?
Jesus puts in plain words and you laugh it off calling it a 'metaphor'
Because for the beliefs you hold at present, no other explanation would suffice for you.
The Jews thought that the bread that filled their stomachs gave them life - true, but the manna fed only their bodies.
This is where Jesus corrects them, in that his flesh and blood are food for the spirit of man.
God is spirit and in the Eucharist He feeds men with Himself incarnate in His only Son, Jesus.
@Sterling Crowne Did Jesus tell you personally what he hates and what he loves?
I guess not....
Whatever Jesus has said is in the Bible, so stick to it when you preach.
On the road to Emmaus the two disciples did not recognise Jesus till he broke the bread with them.
For they remembered that the Lord had asked that this be done in His memory.
You may tell me as to who started all this rabble about the Eucharist not being true.
@Sterling Crowne And yes, I knew that Luther was a Catholic. But he didn't protest because of the Eucharist.
All because your new car gets a dent on it, you don't just replace the whole car. But Luther chose to do just that and it cost him much.
@Sterling Crowne Jesus said believe in me, and what does he ask the Jews to believe in - His very words. And are not what I quoted Jesus' very words?
The point is that, you skip these verses because it is undigestable just as it was to the Jews who left Jesus.
Why does Jesus take such pains to tell them thrice that his flesh is food and his blood is drink?
You overlook it and when I draw it into the discussion you caste it away and then you say that it's all Roman Catholic teaching...
The popes didn't start all this...as you keep stating.
Mr.steve please let me know how do I contact you for a trip for my family with you to Israel
PRAISE THE LORD! PRAISE HIS HOLY SON JESUS CHRIST PRAISE THE HOLY SPIRIT! PRAISE THE HOLY TRINITY!
The Compleat and Absolute Cathequesis about the HOLY EUCHARIST, SACRIFY, And Also The GREATNESS, and INFINITY of THE HOLY MASS!
GOD has Spoken trough, Steve Ray.
Is there a Spanish Version?
He surely looks just like Angus Buchan with his hat on.
I like the coin example
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ gave more IMPORTANCE about the Holy Eucharist than becoming Born Again.
No person who is not sinless can ask Jesus to come down from heaven and be present in the piece of bread.
Steve, you have to remove your HAT when you are inside
the church as respect
Thank you
Florentino Viloria Amen!
Florentino Viloria isn’t that only during mass? I’m a girl so I wear my hat during mass so I’m really not sure
So true. Since he is not an officiant (bishop or priest) saying Mass, no layman should be wearing a hat in a Catholic Church. It's disrespectful to God, and that is what is paramount.
This isn't a church
@@kathleenirish there is an altair behind him, it's a church
Here is a Title of a book you might want to read "THE MYSTICAL CITY OF GOD" in Four Volumes by Ven. Mary Agreda the Spanish mystic.
I know this has been a year..and I am late..I just ran across it now? Sir, I made a mistake of drinking the grape juice and saltine crackers in a Christian church because I was hungry...so there, we are even with the hat in the altar...I just wanted to tell u my experience, means a friend of mine tried to convert me..and it never happened...even my sister...but u made the right choice...I didn't really feel anything .but with the Holy Eucharist I did feel it...and it is true for the true devotees , always a Catholic..I passed the test...with my sister and my friend's intention of converting me...it never happened..one thing though, what the Catholic faith wants us to respect and should not criticize other faith which our priests and our faith always teaches us to do: humility...
Steve Ray good sermon may the lord bless you and your family
God doesn't Get lonely, & he doesn't need us for anything. Its the other way around Steve ROFL. Thats why all the smart ones left OMG
how can i defend praying holy rosary?
Were did the Rosary come form ? When did it started ? is it in the Bible?
@@jeffstewart1668 most of it yes.
Wonderful witness and testament! However, Catholics men unless you are a priest do not wear hats in church out of respect for the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist !
Giovanni Serafino it was a convention center
@@srolph1 a convention center with altair ?
That’s a podium not an altar
Though it is a convention centre... Still the mass is offered isn't it
As a Catholic, I appreciate Steve Ray. My only thing... I think the guy watched Raiders of the Lost Ark too many times as a child. I mean what is with the Indiana Jones look..?
JESUS IS THE HIGH PRIEST!!!
GOD BLESS STEVE RAY
John 3:14 As Moses lifted up the bronze serpent in the wilderness so as the Son of Man must be lifted up. Question: Is this lifted up Jesus on the cross a false God? 1 Corinthians 1:18 "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
I was truly and biblically born again because of Jesus’ saving blood sacrifice and His resurrection.
That’s why I left the Catholic Church.
I eat His supper and read His Bible to remember Him and to take all my cares, joys and tribulations to Him directly.
Praise Jesus.
@bornagainsaint1. Jesus said in John 6:30 - 50 to eat His body and drink His blood to inherit eternal life and those who do will be risen up on the last day. You are now consuming mere wafer when you left the Catholic Church. No eternal life, no resurrection on the last day. St Paul taught on 1 Cor 11:29 that
For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.
If the Eucharist was mere wafer, saint and sinner can just eat it without any fear of punishment from God.
Do not merely listen to Protestant propaganda. Go and find out the true reasons from reliable Catholic sources instead of merely listening to one sided biased Protestant views. Even in a court room, the judge has to listen to both plaintiff and defendant and give a fair hearing to both sides of the argument.
You left the one true Catholic church started by Jesus. Rejoin! Take RCIA!
