Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God. Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love. In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through...

You search the scriptures, because you think you have eternal life through them; even they testify on my behalf. But you do not want to come to me to have life.

I'll take that as an admission that you cannot identify any 2000 year old Christian community that does not affirm that which we received from the apostles: the Eucharist is truly the body and blood of Christ. They went out from us, but they were not really of our number; if they had been, they...

Ive always kind of read this as taking extreme steps to silence the Holy Spirit... Like pulling a tooth to silence the pain.. Peace!

We have to do the works of the one who sent me while it is day. Night is coming when no one can work

Dear Tong, let me make this clear, neither I , nor you establish reality. It is God Who establishes reality. so then, when Jesus says 'this is my body', it is either true or not true independently of my belief, or your unbelief. For 2000 years the Church in Rome, the Church in Alexandria...

The gates of hell have been thrown down, and all our chains removed. The Way of salvation has been clearly marked; through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. No one remains in hell but they who willfully and knowingly reject the alternative.. I call heaven and earth today to witness against...

I don't. Thats exactly my point. To insist that the Eucharist is not the flesh and blood of Christ, because ones flesh perceives bread and wine, is to listen to ones flesh and not Jesus' words, which are Spirit and Life! Jesus said it. I believe Him! Yes. Peace!

I have 3, 2000 year old living witnesses that we received this from the apostles. The Church in Rome, The Church in Alexandria and the Church in Constantinople. Where is your 2000 year old Christian community that says otherwise? Shall we follow the apostles teaching, or some 500 year old...

And therein lies your problem. You demand that the perceptions of our flesh establish our reality, rather than the Word of God... It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. What are His words again? this is the bread...

That's a pretty good argument, all to suggest that you can follow Jesus and yet reject His words and the words of His Church for 2000 years... 6:2 But mark ye those who hold strange doctrine touching the grace of Jesus Christ which came to us, how that they are contrary to the mind of God. They...

Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God Matt 5:8

What Are You Afraid Of? Hearing this, when I come before the judgement seat: And throw this useless servant into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth Lord, have mercy!

"If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you. John 15: 18-19 Be not afraid!

Whoever says he is in the light, yet hates his brother, is still in the darkness. Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is nothing in him to cause a fall. Whoever hates his brother is in darkness; he walks in darkness and does not know where he is going because the darkness...

Heb 13:10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.

Perhaps, But Jesus is not fooled. He knows those who recognize Him and those who don't. Those who partake worthily and those who don't. Those who act in obedience and those who don't.. I think I will leave it there and bow out of this discussion. Sister, I would like to thank you for a...

Every confirmed Catholic knows (or should know!) that they are responsible to ensure they are properly disposed to receive the Eucharist ( i.e. they cannot be in a state of mortal sin) Facilitating or aiding in the procurement of an abortion is a grave sin and anyone who has done so and...

One must be baptised, for in this 'nuptial bath' we are cleansed and given our wedding garment.. And Chrismated, that is sealed by the Holy Spirit. Thus bathed and perfumed one is ready to be presented 'a holy and pure virgin' to our Lord, present in the Eucharist. Some period of...
