Would you ever partake in Holy Communion in such a Mass, if comes true?
Well... for someone else to say something mistaken about the communion does not, to my best biblical understanding, make that communion invalid. Christ said what it would be. Priests don’t make it anything else. Ministers don’t make it anything else. I can only offer my educated guess beyond that. I think the idea of “it’s physical presence” came from the mistaken notion that physical, because we see it more readily than spiritual, is less than spiritual. That’s to judge reality with our senses, and takes us down the wrong road theologically. Just my opinion anyhow.
I might go as a cross-denominational outreach, but it sure might get me a lot of flak among my more literally Protestant brethren. But again I am used to that among Baptists. It’s amazing how vain some ministers can get, like they forget that the church facilities are supposed to be offered to Jesus Christ, not their own egos. Baptists are often close to Jews in the sense of “Three of them means four opinions.”
I mean... to say that physical, because we perceive it with our senses, is MORE than spiritual [pointing out that I think this misleads Christians theologically to do so].
Sorry about the confusion.
I’m actually facing off against some pretty thick and heavy evil right now. My locale says Nebraska. I’m actually in one different state where evil from another state has reached down into it. One never expects to meet the demimonde. Till one does. So prayers from ANY Christian — Roman Catholic or Protestant or Orthodox — on my behalf in fighting this evil would be more than welcome!!
You’ve posted a lot of words since, but you have never answered the question:
Would you partake in Holy Communion at an “ecumenical mass” with Catholics?
“Yes” or “No”?
As far as myself, I would never do so. Nor, would I assist at such a so-called “mass”.
