No major doctrine about Christ rests on something not in the Bible. However, your doctrine about Mary's assumption is not in the Bible.
By the way, Jesus did exist during the 30 years because the Bible says he was born in the flesh 30 years before he approached John the Baptist. (Worked as a carpenter, went to the Temple as a boy, lived as a human, etc.)

A little test. How often do you heard a Catholic priest talk about the subject of hell? Or purgatory for that matter? Or voice some cautionary note at a funeral? Since Teilhard came on the scene, universalism has been part of the liberal agenda.

There is a problem with this guy in that he purports to teach what the scripture teaches, but yet doesn't believe water baptism to be necessary. He is one of the "Faith Only" believers, who think one is simply getting wet when they are baptized. The Bible makes it plain in Mark 16:16 what is going to happen to people who refuse to DO what God has commanded. Baptism is just as important as belief, repentence, and forgiving. If you throw out baptism, you also have to throw out repentence, for that is a "work" as well. It is sad that there are so many of the "holy-roller" types floating around and not enough of the "thus saith the Lord" believers, who actually OBEY him. I better alternative I think (one visit to the forum at your guys site told me what kind of people frequent there) is www.theologyonline.com.
And no, I'm not Catholic. Just a Christian, no more and no less. I prefer the "speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where it is silent" way of living the Christian life.

Eucharist is a remebrance of the sacrafice that Jesus madeAs God is transcendent (doesn't wear a Timex or Rolex) the Eucharist is a participation in the original event.

You know, your question reminded me of one of the most haunting homilies I have ever heard. It was not long before 9/11 and after that event happened I gave much thought to this homily.
The priest first spoke in detail of the Eucharist, then he spoke of how to properly receive Holy Communion. He added that one should accept the Host and immediately put It in one's mouth and swallow it. He said he was addressing this because they (in the parish) knew there were certain people taking the Host in their hand and then immediately exiting church to go and defile the Host.
It was chilling and it was almost unbelievable to me that the priest had observed such action and knew the purpose. So not only have I often heard priests speak of hell, but also speak Satan as a real entity (as the priest said it was to honor Satan that this was being done) and not merely symbolic of human frailty.

As a 'Pentecostal' I have issues with the Catholic Church.
That does not mean I hate Catholics or think they are all going to hell. I take issue, just as I do with half the Methodist.
I also can't wait to see this film, some of the greatest art of all time is in honor of G_d.

They will respond like Christians...the story is the same, Catholic/Evangelical.

Which points to why the rule to take on the tongue was instituted. It makes it more difficult for vicous unbelievers to get hold of the host.

I agree.
To: cyncooper
Or perhaps Catholics should spend more time in the Bible.

Patrick Madrid is running this story on his blog today. Someone there commented:
"Here is the description I posted on the Rosary Army website after seeing the trailer at last Saturday's Eucharistic Congress:
"There was no English spoken in the scenes shown and the actors were all speaking Latin and Aramaic. The images that stuck out the most were the gratuitousness of the scourging of Jesus before his Crucifixion, Mary stepping on the head of a snake, and the slow motion scene of the Pharisees throwing a bag of silver clear across a room to Judas Iscariot, who has trouble catching it and coins spill all over the floor. They also showed many images of the Crucifixion itself, which definitely reminded me of the end of Braveheart and how much Gibson went for realism. They showed the end of a nail being placed in Jesus' palm, pushed down, and then the hammer about to strike, but stopped short of actually showing the piercing. I won't be surprised at all, though, if they do show that in the movie." The showed the trailer twice and supposedly before the first showing (I only saw the second) they announced the movie would be released on Ash Wednesday.
There were a lot of scenes in the trailer of a yellowish looking snake slithering, and a distinct image of a foot stepping down on it. I don't remember seeing a Pieta-like image in the trailer. The image of Judas and the bag of coins is what really got me."

Based on the Bible accounts, it should take about 10 minutes total to film, since the Bible gives a broad outline, not an excruciatingly detailed summary of all that transpired. That is about the most ignorant statement yet on this thread. The gospels are nothing but detailed vingettes of Christ's ministry. The gospels are not exhaustive, but they are detailed.
To: txzman
Or perhaps Catholics should spend more time in the Bible.Perhaps you should learn what you are talking about before you pretend to be an authority.

"Satan character?!!" What's that all about ?
A SHORT STUDY ON SATAN
excerpt:
"According to I Jn 3:8, the express purpose of the coming of Jesus into the world was 'that he might destroy the works of the devil'. Everywhere in the NT we see a great conflict between the forces of God on one hand, and those of evil led by Satan on the other. The severity of the conflict is clear."
To: Callahan
OK, the Gospels are the same in the Catholic Bible as they are in the Pentecostal Bible ... in fact most hard core died-in-the-wool Pentecostals prefer the King James. As long as the story is true to the gospels it will transcend denomination or affiliation.

The Eucharist is the fulfillment of Christ's promise that he will be with us always.

Most of us can deal with some poetic license . . .Gee...that tolerance and opened mindedness isn't what the liberals in the media tell me about your faith. Who am I to believe? Those, such as yourself, in the faith or the antiChristian bigots at the New York Times, ABC, CBS and NBC?
