Again you divorce yourself from the community of the apostles.... If you are not willing to serve the least of your brethren, are you worthy of the call? Pax et Bonum

Pax et Bonum

The path IS the community which is the Church, and that which she offers.. Intimate union with Christ! all are welcome to come to the Banquet! Then he said to his servants, 'The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come. Go out, therefore, into the main roads and...

God is indeed Spirit! He is also the Man, Jesus.. Not all spirits are God, they must be tested.. Any spirit that calls people away from the table of the Lord, and intimate union with He and their brothers and sisters, is not Holy, it is anti-christ.. They went out from us, but they were not...

Offended? No, i am not at all offended. . Your kind of spiritism has long since been repudiated in the Church. I welcome the chance to expose you and your lack of roots.. The Gospel really is this easy: I AM, I love you, come be united with Me! All are welcome to come to the wedding Feast of...

Wow Scott, just wow.. You have just written off your brethren for 2000 years and clearly are following something that no where in the history of the Church was taught.. The closest thing I would compare it would be the gnostics.. Whose communities died out long ago.. So let me see if I have...

Come now Scott, why stop short and backpedal here. In the letters of Ignatius one can readily identify the One Faith practiced by all the 2000 year old apostolic churches. Implying that the apostolic structure of the Church, one Bishop in his assigned territory and the presbetyrs and deacons...

The entire Church for 1500 years recognized Ignatius as a hero and martyr of the Faith. Clearly he is NOT who Peter warned about as his community (the community of John and the apostles ) remains very much here... Those who rejected these things and left the community, 'drawing others after...

People who take our sacred texts and try and reverse engineer the Church are doomed to failure.. The Church was celebrating the Eucharist before one letter of the NT was penned.. To dismiss the 2000 year Faith and practice of the Church to follow one's own understanding is just hubris.. Here's...

Helli Scott, And if one believe that is all the Eucharist is, and that Christ is not truly present, the very Bread of Life, come down from heaven, then it is proper for them NOT to recieve.. Not recoginizing Him whom they approach.. Pax et Bonum

Hi Scott, Regarding the taking of communion, all are indeed welcome but the Church has a duty to ensure those who partake understand Who it is that they approach, and are properly prepared to recieve Him 'to eat and drink unworthily is to eat and drink condemnation on oneself' Not to...

Hi Scott, Oh no intrusion. This is an open forum, if I wished a private convo, I'd use a PM.. :eek: I just wish to make sure that I have addressed your questions as to the offering of the Eucharist as the fullfillment of Malachi 1:11 before we moved on. There is a lot to unpack in your ladt...

Hi Scott, Now there's a question.. :D I would point out here that we're moving away from the discusssion about the celebration of the Eucharist being the fulfillment of Malachi 1:11 and are moving on to the actions of members of the Church.. The problem? That men can be proud, arrogant...

The Church, being the body of Christ is One, and thus catholic by definition. If you believe those in communion with the Bishop of Rome no longer practice the One Faith, then you should be with Alexandria or Constantinople.. What other contenders are there? That which our brothers and sisters...

Excellent! Now that we have established that there continues to be sacrifice, what then is the pure offering, of Malachi 1:11 Can we offer ourselves apart fron Christ One offering? Everywhere from east to west (somewhere even at this moment) my brothers and sisters gather as a community to...

A sound argument for the Baltism of our children, wherein we ask our Father to grant them the gift of Faith and the light of Christ in their hearts... Pax et Bonum

?? Where have you seen me condemn my brethren? Pax et Bonum

What chosen narrative would that be? As i showed you in the catechism the Church teaches that one cannot act contrary to their concience. To do so would be to condemn oneself.. Pax et Bonum

Catechism of the Catholic Church - IntraText

If you believe that, then you should be with Alexandria, or Constantinople.. You do err in thinking the Church is an organization of men. Rather it is a community founded by Christ through the apostles, A community bound together in the celebration od the Eucharist throughout time and...
