And I answered it. I simply asked a question. I did not accuse or assign.

The bread and the cup just as Jesus said "in remembrance of His broken body and shed blood. The blood having been spilled on the ground as it was prophesied and supposed to be. Not saved in a cup or recreated in some magic ritual.

God bless and protect you, always.

You know what matters? Does the person know Jesus? Their opinion of the sacraments aside, it means nothing unless they know the Lord, Jesus The Christ.

All this arguing is simply self-righteousness because someone thinks someone else is *GASP* WRONG!

If someone tells me Jesus is their Lord I leave worship up to them and their understanding of the Word.

Catholics and Protestants agree on about 97% of doctrine. There are doctrinal errors/differences on both sides of the fence. No denominations interpretation is perfect.

I believe that eating our Christian brothers alive over the 3% must make God weep.

Ghandi said he wasn't a Christian because of Christians. This forum proves his point.

The same for Mormons or Jehovah's Witness?

97%? Somehow I doubt that figure but haven't ever seen the need to count.

It fills me with a sense of comfort to know that I can pray in the form of a rosary to our Lord but that it invokes the Hail Mary as well as the Our Father.

Have you ever considered praying from the heart rather than just spouting memorized prayers over and over?

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Matthew 6:7

Matthew 26:27-29 New International Version (NIV)

27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, 
he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 
28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured 
out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 
29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the 
vine from now on until that day when I drink it new 
with you in my Father’s kingdom.”

Matthew 26:27-29 King James Version (KJV)

27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, 
saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is 
shed for many for the remission of sins.
29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this 
fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you 
in my Father's kingdom.

Matthew 26:27-29 New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)

27 Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, 
“Drink from it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of the covenant, 
which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins. 
29 I tell you, from now on I shall not drink this fruit of the vine 
until the day when I drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father.”
Just as a matter of proper exegesis, what did Jesus say was in the cup that they shared?

And here I thought Jayhawks reserved that kind of language only for Mizzou.

Thinking about all of your past posts, I can’t remember a conciliatory tone in any of them. Are you sure you are following Christ’s teachings?
