Go ahead and skin me alive, but for once I am standing up against all this intra Christian infighting when Islamics are destroying us

You said what I've thought so many times on these awful threads. Let all of put this petty dividing of each other up into little groups aside and remember these words: Love God with all your heart, mind and soul; and your neighbor as yourself. This is the sum of the law and the commandments.

The SUM means it contains everything; so just to practice it encompasses all.

It seems to me that we aren't loving our neighbors when we are so busy dividing each other up into little groups of "others, so unlike us". Aren't we all children of God ? Aren't we more alike than different ?

Are we not all brothers and sisters in Christ himself ? I have attended lots of churches, and have deep respect for the sincerity of believers I have met in each of them. There are beautiful examples of Christ's love everywhere, in every church, in every group of believers.

We would do more for His Kingdom to look for these examples everywhere, and celebrate each one of them with deep gratitude for their example.Each group sees and expresses a unique aspect of Christ's love, which is limitless in its wonder. I love them all.

Have you forgotten what this thread is about??? It's about, 'there is no salvation outside of the Eucharist'...

That means we are NOT all brothers and sisters in Christ...Their pope says they worship the same God as the muzlims do...There is no Jesus Christ in the muzlim religion...I don't worship the same God as they do...
