By “sun cookie” are you referring to the Eucharist?

If so that certainly is a disrespectful way to refer to a belief in the divine presence of Christ in unleavened bread that has been consecrated by a priest.

This is the most antagonistic post so far...but perhaps that is just my response to an attack on my faith.

The belief in a “divine presence” is a disbelief in the words of Yeshua.

The idea that there are any “priests” is also a disbelief in the Words of Yeshua.

The idea that the Lord’s Supper involved “unlevened bread” is at best a total misunderstanding of the circumstances and timing of the event. The Lord’s supper was not a passover seder, it was on a night of preparation for passover, which was the next evening, after Yeshua had been crucified, the effective sacrifice for all, and his blood poured out onto the mercy seat of the ark in the cavern below.

Faith has to be based on reality, not confusion.

You're not being overly sensitive a bit. When people use terms from their favorite comics they're deliberately being antagonistic. In this instance, they're also showing they have no respect for rules that allow an Ecumenical thread unless they are the one who decides what is permitted to be an Ecumenical thread.

Folks who do that sort of thing are those Christ spoke of here:

John 16:3  "And these things will they do to you; because they have not known the Father, nor me."
