I cannot give you a dissertation each time you post a one-liner. Our prayers are being answered!

DID YOU REALLY JUST POST THAT???????????BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[imardmd1]

Well, you may be one of a kind, . . . E Pluribus Unum. There are many, always have been, alwayas will be, ones personally and typically persecuted, and their Scriptures burned, by the "wammabes" that haven't got it right yet.

. . . but like we said already, I do not make personal posts . . .

You don't?

. . . and do not focus on the personal.

Hahahahaha! oh, oh heeeehee, oh haaahhhaaah! My gosh . . .

Mmm--ah, ah, you were saying . . . ?? (ooh, haah)

...Jesus started the custom of communion at what is commonly referred to as The Lord's Supper. He DID? When I read it; He was observing the PASSOVER.

Yes....He did, while the occasion was indeed the Passover, the Last Supper became the inception of the Eucharist...the beginnings of Christianity and Catholicism. This was, of course, Christ establishing the new law and parting from he Jewish tradition.

[terycarl]

He certainly did not transubstantiate His Self into something called the eucharist

Sure He did, and REAL Christians have taught and practiced it for 2,016 years....

"Bible Christians." But of course, there simply was no "Catholic" Bible because the NT church simply was not Catholic, esp. Roman.

Yeah, it was...there was no one else there...the early church formed in the area and moved to Rome...P4eter was the titular head and it grew to what it is today from there....not complicated.

Such a useful myth for another religion, don’tcha think?

[imardmd1]

The reality is the one holy catholic apostolic church bound new rules, feast days, and calendars for Christians to differentiate them from those still followed by Jews in all their generations

The only things that differentiate real regenerated believer-disciples of Jesus the Messiah is that they, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, leave all their idols and idylls behind, following and acting like Him to their death, be it natural or forced, for which your feasts and holy days have no significance.

"This is the day, this is the day That the Lord hath made,
(that the Lord hath made); Let us rejoice, let us rejoice and be glad in it (and be glad in it)!"

That is our answer to your feast days and holidays and sabbaths. Every day that we in Christ wake up is a holy day in which to be holy, as He is holy. Praise God!

The first day of the week (week=Gk. "sabbaton" of seven day heptads) is the day set aside for assembly, the day honoring the day of resurrection, since the Pentecostal inauguration of the Jerusalem ekklesia.

But you didn't need to be told that, did you?

[terycarl]

The shed blood of Christ is more than sufficient to cover any sin we commit. If it's not, then we have a problem.

It certainly does.....but only if we REPENT and acknowledge our guilt, and vow not to re-offend...otherwise what's the point???

[ealgeone]

How often do you re-offend? How often do you commit the same sins over again and again?

Hourly?

Daily?

Weekly?

[terycarl]

If no one ever posts the truth, then how can anyone know the truth and how can error be exposed?

Catholics ALWAYS post the truth...outside Catholicism there is no truth....you can argue until you turn blue but it is to no avail.....The Catholic Church was instituted by Christ in order to lead us to salvation....there is NO OTHER way to do it.

[imardmd1]

It is different because my entire argument for the Catholic understanding of the Last supper is based on the Holy Scripture and metmom knows that.

Anyone who understands the use of the Holy Scriptures to guide other believers also knows that the use involves the interpretation, the hermeneutic of them, and performed by fallible unregenerated-by-faith expositors results in a fallible, unreliable exegesis. Which of this passage, the Catholic presumption is. Your continual insuistence ofthis interpretation is more of an incantation than an explanation.

And it has to be, for you cannot really explain it. It has neither a natural or Scriptural explanation. You don't know how transubstantiation happens, because it doesn't, and is just an illogical superstition contrary to Jesus' assurance that the Holy Spirit would show His Saints all things.

[annalex]

In the post you referenced I made exactly the opposite point, that I do not want to make personal posts and refuse to make them. I don’t see how I could have responded better.

[af_vet_1981]

Yes, now you are behaving as both a hostile witness and a busybody. Your custom is not my custom, neither was it the Messiah's custom, nor that of his apostles. They quoted scripture without chapter and verse. I did not object to you following your custom.

[annalex]

you cannot really explain it

No, I can't explain miracles but I can point to the Holy Scripture that describes it. Luke 22:19, and other synoptics.

[terycarl]

Did the early Catholics have such a POOR attention span that the ritual had to done DAILY or they'd FORGET?

No indeed...they remembered, day to day that they could receive the body and blood of their savior, be personally close to Him....and they have been doing so daily for 2,016 years.....miss it yet???

[MHGinTN]

Perhaps the root of the catholiciism fabrication is a lack of discerning the Body Of Christ?

[terycarl]

It's really a shame that so many people are being snowed into thinking that's the way to get to heaven because they are going to find out the hard way someday, that that is wrong. We are saved THEN sanctified. Only the saved are sanctified, set apart when they are saved. We cannot be sanctified into salvation.

what the H___ does that gibberish mean???

[boatbums]

The only way to avoid my critique and ridicule is not to have Protestant views on key points of faith or at least admit that these views are a result of speculation and not reading of the Holy Scripture. Please try your best at that, and we’ll do swell.

I have no desire to avoid your critique or ridicule by holding to beliefs you happen to label as "Protestant". They don't bother me and only serve to solidify your reputation as someone more interested in mocking than earnestly contending for the faith. The faith, BTW, that was once delivered unto the saints is the one I hold to. If modern Catholicism just so happens to still hold to some of those same tenets, then I will not need to debate since there won't be disagreement. If on the other hand, you want to argue points of doctrine where Catholicism has erred, I will continue to as the Lord leads me.

It's curious that you state you have no major disagreements with the Orthodox especially since they also disagree with Catholics on many of the same beliefs as "Protestants" do.
