Ping!
Hahn. Once again, found penetrating the depths with Truth.
These converted protestants, especially the boat load of protestant pastors coming in, have the zeal to awaken the Church, stuck in mediocrity in so many influential locations, here, in the United States. Devout, knowledgeable cradle Catholics have lent kindness and support, sharing their own Catholic experience to these converts.
It is truly a New Evangelization happening, at last.
My goodness, Dr. Hahn is getting older!
“Conversion is life long,” he said. “It is ongoing. It is ever deepening. It is daily. And it is also difficult.”
Wrong, sanctification is a lifelong process. Conversion happens when we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. To say conversion is a process intimates that we somehow earn it over time. This is non-scriptural.
Powerful!!!
Let us consume the Word! ;-)
Good man! Thank you, Jesus!
agree, my ongoing conversion, combined with sanctification is indeed a process, im always making progress, with His grace, but it is so frustrating sometimes....
You are telling a Scripture Scholar that he is non-Scriptural?
Where are you a professor at?
Life is ongoing. We have to avoid sin each and every day. It’s a life-long process.
OSAS will not cut it, sorry.

Amen.
We reject the idea that sanctification and conversion are ontologically different things. They’re just two aspects of the same thing.

Conversion happens once and one should continue to grow in knowledge and faith. I have grown in my level of knowledge, understanding and faith since I was baptized 50 years ago. this is how I interpret “conversion is life long.” If you prefer to see conversion as being the beginning and end of your journey with Christ, with no further study or desire to understand more deeply of Christ, so you have decided.
Where are the Knights Templar when you need them.
Destroyed, dead and buried at the hands of their church. Where did you think they were?
Agree.
Studying to learn and show ourselves approved and worthy is not a one-shot deal.
It’s a life-time journey.
You just can not possibly know Jesus unless you are a professor, so you must believe everything they tell you or you are not saved.
Never mind what the Gospels say, they were put together by a few dumb fishermen and can not be trusted.
Throw your bibles away folks because you can not believe what it says anyway.
Why this sudden attack on Catholics reading the Bible?
The Gospels were not all written by fishermen.
Matthew — a tax collector
Mark — followed Jesus as a disciple, but I don’t know about the fisherman part.
Luke — a physician
John — the last Apostle to write a Gospel and the last to die, and yes he was a fisherman, but he wrote theology, inspired by the Holy Spirit.
So according to my count, you only got one out of four correct.
How is it then that I am born again and filled with the Spirit, but have never been near a Eucharist?
