thessalonian Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Greetings I've seen many posts on both sides discussing the issue "are Catholics Christian?" over the years. Last night I recieved an email from a Baptist pastor I know who said at the end basically we're going to disagree but "I consider you a brother in Christ". This struck me. I believe that a small piece of what looks like bread and something that tastes like wine is the body, blood, soul, and divinity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I bow down before it and worship IT. If they are true to their beliefs I am not even a Christian if I am wrong. By their standards I am going to hell and it is out of a false love that they would not engage me in the conversation on truth. This is not concern for my soul but concern for my feelings. We of course as Catholics should examine ourselves against the scriptures to see if these things are true as the bereans did. We have a solomon obligation as the Protestant rightly tell us to ensure that these things are true. But of all the solid Biblical Catholic beliefs the one on the Eucharist is just as solid biblically whether they can see it or not. "This saying is hard. Who can bear it" said the Jews. By the grace of God we do. I encourage them to engage in the conversation. For it is in engaging in the conversation that I can present the truth and the truth will eventually win out. Just some food for thought. Your comments are welcome. Blessings Thessalonian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
