    Why Woul a Loving God Create Such a Hateful Place?

    I don't like it when people say things like "Hell is just knowing about God but being shut out," or "hell is something we create." hell is a lake of fire that were the souls that don't make it into Heaven are sent to be tormented forever and they will never get out. Hell is a very real place...

    Saying Oh God

    In England we say "bloody" a lot, like bloody Hell or bloody idiot. Sometimes bleeding, e.g. bleedin idiot or bleeder, e.g. coky little bleeder. This originates from people trying not to take the Lord's name in vain when they would use "Christ's blood" or "God's blood" as an expletive. People...

    Saying Oh God

    But hopw can it take the Lord's name in vain when it doesn't mention the Lord's name. Surely we say God out of reverance instead of using one of God's actual names. I try to say Oh Gosh, but when I banged my knee against the iron umbrella stand on the side of a church pew back in January I...

    Saying Oh God

    Back in the Autumn I was helping out at my Church's youth group which was being led by the local area missioner (in charge of mission for that area). During the session one boy said "Oh God," to which the missionery screamed bakc, "we don't want any blasphemy here." The kid then asked one of...

    Closed communion

    yes, by all means I'd like to see another thread on these 7 chruches of Revelations. But going back to Communion! Should it be given to children. Is the Catholic practice of first communion at 7 too early, is 12-14 (confirmation age) a better time? Can children udnerstand the Eucharist? Do...

    Closed communion

    But Methodists are jsut Anglican offshoots, the original Methodists were part tof the Church of England back when the Wesleys were alive, after that Methodists went their own way believing the Church of England to be corrupt. Admittedly it was corrupt at the time

    Closed communion

    Hi Rockytopva! I can see that theya re the churches inrevelation but how do you know that they correspond to modern day chruches? Did you draw this up yourself if not where have you got it from. I am intrigued by it and I'm unsure as to why Methodists aren't with the other Protestants and why...

    Closed communion

    Sorry, I reckon we've gone off topic a bit. I'm really interested to here opinions accross the board on this issue and I have nothing but respect for the RCC's position on closed communion but I also see the open communion as a great way bringing about greater cohesion between denominations and...

    Closed communion

    I can agree with most things the RCC say's but all that nonsense about ecclesial communities makes my blood boil. It'sa stept backwarsd and if the RCC say's you ahve to be Catholic or go to hell then I'll take my cahnces. (I'm probably headed there anyway)

    Closed communion

    Apen, you don't need to argue anything woth me, I understand the Catholic point of view and I BELIEVE IN THE REAL PRESENCE but while it is often a bone of contention between Catholics and protestants it actually need not be. I believe in the real presence and yet there are members of my church...

    How is it idolatrous to not believe in the real presence?

    Closed communion

    There one Priest can bar them but there's nothing to stop them from going elswhere. if they recieve the sacrament without repenting of a sinful lifestyle then this lifestyle will just carry on so giving them communion would be like rewarding bad behaviour, which God is not going to do through...

    Closed communion

    !st Corinthians 11:17-33 In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good. In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it. No doubt there have to be differences...
