So, I did the same thing you did and googled "Presbyterian Order of Worship" and found Bryce Avenue Presbyterian Church in Los Alamos, NM. You will see from their Order of Worship, for THIS COMING SUNDAY, that there is no reading from the Gospel

lol. So you've found one Presbyterian church that didn't include a reading from the Gospels in one Sunday morning service. There's still more Scripture being preached in that Presbyterian church than in any Roman Catholic service I've ever attended. Your little exhibition merely highlights the fact that Protestant churches preach from the entire Scriptures, whereas Rome ignores the Epistles and the Old Testament because those book directly contradict Rome's ideology (which is also contradicted by the Gospels.)

The usual rule, according to the Presbyterian Order of Worship, is to preach from the Gospels as well as the Epistles and the Old Testament.

The length RC apologists go to in order to defame Christian worship is hilarious.

Presbyterians, as most Protestants, spend their Sundays praising God, preaching His holy word, studying Scripture, hearing the Gospel, singing His praises and praying to the Triune God alone.

I realize this is foreign to most Roman Catholics who spend their Sundays on their knees contemplating their own good works; ignorantly praying to dead people; venerating Mary as a "co-redeemer;" and most egregiously of all, partaking in the blasphemy they call the eucharist which is nothing more than "another Christ" ignoring the teaching of Hebrews by offering what he wrongly presumes to be Christ again for new sins committed which, in fact, is a charade of true Christianity and an affront to Jesus Christ who has not been brought down from heaven to be served up again like yesterday's pork roast, but who, after having paid the total price for all the sins of His flock, now resides in heaven where He sits making His enemies such as Rome his footstool.

lol!

If they spent as much time studying the Scriptures as they do studying the worshipping habits of non-catholics, they could actually make some progress. Who goes on-line and googles a church in Los Alamos, NM, in order to make a point about something they don't even CARE about? Supposedly..

Let me be the first to call Bovine Scat! I seriously doubt that you have EVER attended a single Catholic service, let alone mass or you would know that every service has a reading from the OT, the Epistles and the Gospels accompanied by a homily.

It really is pitiful when to watch the anti-Catholics like you stoop to outright lies in the comparison and contrast of the belief systems. It is only confirmation of how incomplete and false the word of Calvin really is.

Can you find us one that does on this upcoming Sunday morning?

Have you ever attended one?

Your little exhibition merely highlights the fact that Protestant churches preach from the entire Scriptures, whereas Rome ignores the Epistles and the Old Testament because those book directly contradict Rome's ideology (which is also contradicted by the Gospels.)

Then why do Catholics elevate the Gospels beyond the words of men that the Calvinists worship?

Answer: Calvin is the intermediate step between Mohammed and Joseph Smith and that truth must be vehemently denied, right? With constant attacks on the Catholics, the real beliefs of Calvinists are taken back into the shadows, along with the reality that the perportion of Calvinists to total Protestants, once a slight majority now exists in the low single digits and is headed for zero within the next four or five decades. That is the uncomfortable truth about Calvinism.

Ahhh! I see you rung the bell.

And blessed with the appearance of the gnat strainers.

As opposed to your "proof" from five years ago.

The usual rule, according to the Presbyterian Order of Worship, is to preach from the Gospels as well as the Epistles and the Old Testament.

So, it's not really a rule but more of a guideline? Obviously there is no requirement to read from the Gospels.

The length RC apologists go to in order to defame Christian worship is hilarious.

I'm not defaming anyone. People have free will, if they decide that they don't need the Gospel, that is their prerogative.

Not only is this grammatically correct, but it is theologically perfect...especially the "pork roast" part. Amen, amen, amen.
