In this video, Dr. Bergsma- a convert who was led to the Church through the Scriptures- gives us seven Bible verses that prove that Catholicism is indeed biblical and even more biblically grounded than what some of our Protestant brethren initially think.
In each of these seven verses, Dr. Bergsma breaks it down by giving us the context of the passage, providing us with original translations, sharing with us his own personal testimony, and much more!
Some of the topics these verses cover are:
- the meaning of "the church"
- tradition vs. teaching
- Sola Scripture & the interpretation of the Scripture
- the Sacraments
- Mary
- relics

Small correction: at 15:16, instead of 2 Timothy 3:6, the verse is actually 2 Thessalonians 3:6.

I was a former protestant pastor who preached the Gospel of John chapter six along with the church fathers while teaching on Holy Communion. Church members who were former Catholics confronted me that I sounded Catholic. Within nine months, I left my position and was received into Full Communion with the Roman Catholic Church.✝️⚪🍷💕

Really good presentation, I took notes! I became a Catholic this year after 45 years as a Baptist! Best decision of my life.

When I met a person I hadnt seen for 25 years they were surprised that I had converted to the Catholic Faith. They asked me what inspired me to do that. I replied "You guys told me to read the Sacred Scriptures so I did".

Im Orthodox but I enjoy learning about catholics too, God bless you brothers ❤️

Luther created a whole host of man made traditions , and the numerous Protestant churches continue to build on that . Former Protestant who converted at 65 and came home to the Catholic Church .I praise my Lord Jesus for calling me home .

Excellent walk through. Very helpful. I was raised Assemblies of God, attended many Protestant churches, just this year was confirmed was Catholic at 53 years old. Praise God!

I read the NT cover to cover age 50 and converted from Episcopalian to Catholic. “Henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.” Yes beloved BVM, Catholics do 💖

I was a fallen away Catholic for 26 years and attended non-denominational churches. After coming across Catholic apologetics, I came back to the Catholic Church about 15 years ago. ❤
-
Thank you John Bergsma. Catholics really need to remember these 7 verses when they have debates with Protestants.
-
By going deeper into scripture, I left Protestantism for Catholicism. I had been Protestant for 55 years.

Fellow convert to Catholicism here. When I was growing up Protestant, I hardly ever heard any preaching from the whole book of Acts. I get it now—that’s all about the early Church, which was Catholic. I don’t think any pastors were intentionally omitting it; they just didn’t vibe with it.
-
This is one of the most important videos from an experienced former Calvanist pastor who gives all his experience of what really the Protestants' scripture alone mindset is. It really helps Catholics to prepare in advance of any encounter with any of them. Thank you, Dr. John Bergsma, for this useful video. I'm looking forward to more. You and Dr Scott Hahn are doing a wonderful job at the University. GOD BLESS

A tremendous resource for me. My husband and I begin RCIA this August but until then, I count St. Paul Center as an intrinsic blessing in clarifying and understanding the Word and Will of God. These 7 verses are provocative and confrontational in the best way. Thank you and thank God for You!

As a staunch catholic I commend you for explaining the catholic faith so beautifully and humbly. Thank you very much. May the Holy Spirit of God lead you to the fullness of the truth. Merlyn

I’m a Protestant but I’ve been listening to Catholics speak of the true church and I have to say I want to know more. I enjoying listening to both Catholics and Protestant guides us to Christ. And we have many things alike but also difference but I know to be wise and listen to both. I know we are all brother and sisters of Christ and ask that you pray for me. Thank you for sharing this video will definitely read on it!

The best explanation why I am a Roman Catholic. Thank you sir, More power to your channel and may God bless us All.

I was a Protestant then one day I asked Christ to reveal himself to me in the scriptures. Several times over the course of months I read one heart crushing thing in the scriptures after another proving the way I was taught was wrong. These scriptures coincided with Catholic doctrines. Some I had read many times in the past but they never stood out or I never completely understood until after I prayed that. I never expected that prayer to lead me to the Catholic Church. It wasn’t even in my mind, but Christ revealed Catholicism to me.

Thank you Dr Bergma. Former baptised Catholic, former Baptist, now Catholic... The Virgin Mary, Mother of God-in-the flesh, Jesus Christ, and the Eucharist brought me back from a spiritually sterile environment to " The Church ", DEO GRATIA...

16:47 this verse was being preached by an Evangelical pastor when it hit me what it was actually saying…I became Catholic within a year after intense prayer and study! Praise Jesus!
