I would suggest that true "Biblical Christianity" is intellectually challenging if it is done correctly.

Well yeah, cause true "Biblical Christianity" is Catholicism. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

There's a line from what I think is Eucharistic Prayer III from the new rite of Mass that goes something like "Father, you are holy indeed, and all creation rightly gives you praise. All life, all holiness comes from you through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, by the working of the Holy Spirit. From age to age you gather a people to yourself, so that from east to west a perfect offering may be made to the glory of your name."

Now, officially, because it's the new rite of Mass I can't stand it, but even after 18 years a Catholic I still wake up sometimes with those words on my lips. Those lines thrill my intellect like nothing else. I don't need a 45 minute sermon on them or even a sermon series on them. I just need to hear them and my mind goes off on flights fantastic.

Now I admit that's not a passage from Sacred Scripture so people are probably going spastic even as they read but there's something about the words that talk about the Word in Catholicism that I've not found in any other religion.

And I can point to Philippians 2:9-11 (NASB) for the same impact.

Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knew should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Phil 2:9-11 NASB).

I personally enjoy learning about the historical background of the times in which the New Testament was written. Learning the Greek gives an even deeper insight to what the writers of the texts were getting at.

Do I always get this at church? No. I have to dig it out myself.

Then why do Catholics so many acts in direct disobedience to the Bible (aka - God’s Word)?

I hope it doesn't surprise you, but I can completely get behind that kind of prayer! Everything about it IS Biblical. The "perfect offering" is already spelled out IN Scripture:

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise — the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. (Hebrews 13;15,16)

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God--this is your true and proper worship. (Romans 12:1)

Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire. (Hebrews 12:28,29)

And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God, you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (I Peter 2:4,5)
