Selah Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 It's okay. I know you're trying to help your friend, and so does God. We're praying for you guys ("we" as in Me and St. Francis of Assisi ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nvzbl Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) [quote name='Selah' post='1750635' date='Jan 13 2009, 08:27 PM']When we say "fullness of the faith" we are talking about the Eucharist...we believe in Transubstansiation, that the elements of bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ "our spiritual food and drink." I'm sorry, but Non-denominational Churches lack the Real Presence of Christ in their communion. It is merely a symbol to them. Does this mean they are not Christians? No. It simply means that they lack something that was meant to be so much more than just a symbol. Yes, Jesus is everywhere...but, he is specifically there in the Eucharist, just as the Omnipresent Father was specifically in the Ark of the Covanent.[/quote] Cool- im about to take this thread to the debate table..im already aggravated as it is.... (wiki:) Omni: is used most commonly as an English prefix meaning "all". (all people, all tribes, all nations, all tongues) No. There was not always a Eucharist. There was always God, tho. The only thing a protestant is missing is Catholicism and the only thing Catholicism is missing is open-mindedness and diversity. We must come together one day by the very intentional will of God . Not [i]just as Catholics[/i] but as [b]Gods children[/b] in being a GOOD CHRISTIAN we should be contentious of other unions that also Glorify God. God never said, just blue-eyed people can come unto me. And without that single factor- (yep-im gonna preach it to ya again and again and again) CATHOLICISM WAS NEVER MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE -is going to be the foundation rejected and rejected. But GOD as the single stone you carelessly forget to mention CAN NEVER BE REJECTED. A FOUNDATION GOD BUILT ON FORSAKING HUMILITY AND PRIDE DEMONSTRATING THE GIFT OF GIVING HIMSELF TO US....A GIFT OF FORGIVENESS......SO THAT HIS WILL BE DONE!

[quote]No. There was not always a Eucharist. There was always God, tho.[/quote] I don't think you quite understand what the Eucharist is. It is the miracle of the bread and wine becoming the body and blood of Christ. It was instituted by Christ Himself. It is not something to be taken lightly, or seen as a "symbol". It's a very real miracle, a gift to us from God. I could easily say, "there was not always an Ark of the Covanent". But did that take away the importance of it? Of course not. It is one of the most sacred vessels on earth. The Eucharist is our life-blood. It's heaven on earth. Why would you want something else knowing this? [quote]CATHOLICISM WAS NEVER MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE[/quote] Neither is "Bible". Or "Trinity". Or "Baptist" (or any other denomination for that matter). Or "Altar Call". Just because it isn't in the Bible doesn't mean it isn't legitimate. I suggest you calm down and stop writing in all caps Edited January 14, 2009 by Selah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catholics are open minded! Before you pick apart the faith do some research. I understand what the others are saying they are just giving me advice to give my brother where you are about to fail at dissecting the the RC faith.

MithLuin Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Uh, Selah, I agree with you and everything, but I do feel the need to point out... ...John the Baptist is totally in the Bible. Agreed, though, on the rest of the list, and the point of it. [b]nvzbl[/b], as Catholics, we talk about God a lot. Please don't mistakenly think we missed the point of Christianity. As for this thread - would you want to be able to attend church with your brother and share your faith in Christ with him? Well, so does [b]Giolla[/b], which is why everyone here is so encouraging in hoping his brother will become Catholic - but also [i]*thrilled*[/i] that he has begun going to church.

Keep in mind the Bible was brought together by the Catholic Church. It didn't just appear. Also by your argument, the Trinity doesn't exist, neither does the Incarnation, etc. Not sure if you believe in either, but by your past logic on Catholicism, you have to toss those out as well. ---------------- Now playing: [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/artist/chris+cornell/track/you+know+my+name"]Chris Cornell - You Know My Name[/url] via [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/signatunes/"]FoxyTunes[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nvzbl Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 dont sugar coat nothing- but i wont either i know EXACTLY what the EUCHARIST is. (I CAN WRITE HOWEVER I WANT BTW) thnx for wasting your time explaining it to me tho. but youre swirving your meanings tho. for ie; God is the Eucharist. QUOTE: JUST BCUZ IT IZNT IN THA BIBLE DOESNT MEAN IT ISNT LEGITIMATE. SWIRVE: True, yet not so effective in establishing a basis for an open and honest opposing view. Why: bcuz youre right it doesnt make it any of the less legitimate. But it doesnt trump everything else.\ GOD DOES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
