Reaching Catholics for Christ

Q: My best friend says she’s catholic but tells me things I say or Christian music I listen to is “cringe or annoying”, yet says she loves GOD. I can’t tell which one it is and am not sure what to say to her next time she says that. 

i’ve mentioned bible study with her a couple times but she was not interested. 


A: Catholics who follow the teachings of RCC are idolators and are not saved. All unsaved people are idolators as they do not embrace nor follow the true God revealed in Scripture. 

We are not to be friends with those who are not saved, so def not bffs with them. You need to find friends among the born again brethren in your Church. But can reach out to share the Gospel with the lost around you. 

Do soak your pre conversations and post convos (with that person) in prayer with God. 

For witnessing to Catholics... with Catholics you simply need to focus on the Gospel. Until they understand and agree with it they won't be transformed by it; born again, and listen to truths it clearly reveals. 

Don't focus much on the errors of the catholic religion but focus on sin and Jesus. 

However a few areas you will need to address, (and God will deal with the rest), are likely:

*Jesus paid our debt in full
*Grace not works saves
*We can know we are saved

In order to discuss salvation. 

You can share this link with her and then ask if she's ever heard the Gspel explained so clearly before. And then ask her if she wants to obey the Gospel and be sure of having salvation. 

If she rejects it, keep sharing seeds until God moves her out of your life. Get knowledgeable about the errors of that religion she is in so you can keep planting seeds of truth and know what to wisely share with other RCCs you encounter. 


And if needed... you can share some further Gospel clarity with her to help her think about it. 


This will also be helpful as you seek to share Christianity.

What to know about the Orthodox religion

Image
Its a works based religion like Catholicism. Avoid. The Orthodox Church, worship service centers on the Eucharist, incorporating music, prayer, and Scripture, along with incense, icons, and other sensory elements. The Orthodox Church also holds that the bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ but purposefully avoids explaining how the transformation occurs. With their icons, it's idolatry, and is forced on the parishioners and made a requirement.  Orthodox Church generally respects the pope, it does not recognize him as possessing ultimate authority over the church. Orthodox church believe baptism is required for salvation, which is a "work" on mans part as if having a role in his salvation, thus putting it outside true Christianity. It fails the Essentials test, so it's not Christian. Further, they preach a gospel of Asceticism: "Unless each one of you shall hate all nature of earthly possession, and renounce it and all its works with al...

How to reach someone who went fm Christian to Catholic? or is considering it.

Christian to Catholic Q: Would like some input and prayer about something. One of the member of our church is defecting to Rome. He’s been buried in an echo chamber and is convinced the reformation was wrong & that Protestants don’t have the “full bible”. It’s been a long ongoing attempt to sway him back. He’s planted firm in his “convictions” on the matter. The last we spoke he tried using Hebrews 6 as an argument to refute perseverance of the saints. I have seen more examples of Christians (even reformed brothers) falling away and running to the RCC lately... and would like some guidance.  A: Be aware of the real issue here 1.  explained  here, and here 2.  Avoid being lured away by buildings & liturgical worship  Here's more info on Catholicism (and basically is the same with Orthodox too) that discusses church history. You may or may not know about it. You can read the page you're on first then pop over there (as it has the same links below as that...
