Hi, Thank you for your input. I fail to understand how your aforementioned verses from scripture shows that communion is a symbol? If we continue reading 1 Corinthians 11:27-29 we see that if we eat/drink unworthily we shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord and he that eateth and...

ONE example: A Phoenix man who violated city zoning laws by hosting a Bible study in the privacy of his home has started serving a 60-day jail sentence for his crimes.

Hi Triumph, The headline should read and the story should be Church leader sex abuse scandals around the world. Sadly these scandals happen far to often and just as often (statistically more often) in Non-Catholic churches. NO CHURCH gets a pass on these sins. With that said, it should never...

Repentance implies a recognition of wrong done to God and a desire to turn from evil and do good. So the answer is yes. Anyone that comes to Christ (who is God) must acknowledge any of the sins (wrongs done to God) they have committed.

Hi TT, It depends on what YOU mean by legitimate. Yes, because they had to meet in secret and it took time to collect money to build Churches. Corinth and other cities, depending on the population size, probably had several Church buildings but only one Church House churches can have elders and...

Thank you Amadeus. I'm not worried about IT. I don't need to worry. I do what Jesus told me to do. You are the one who can't explain what you have written. Why would I worry? I am concerned for those who don't do what Jesus told us to do.....I'm not worried about it. Love, Mary

Thank you BG. I know how you feel. I sometimes struggle for a response and when I see someone else articulate what I am thinking, but I just can't seem to put my thoughts into words, I click the like button. Sometimes I wish I could click it 5 times. :) The problem with the "symbolic" theory is...

Thank you Scott. I have asked the same questions multiple times. You have refused to answer. All you want to do is preach what you believe instead of have a conversation. Jesus said do this. From the best I can tell from your cryptic responses you don't do what He has told us to do...or maybe...

Hi Triumph, I could not understand the OP until I read your post. Now I understand what Rollo was saying. I guess I just don't know how to undo those cryptic posts!! I also wish Bread of Life would chill out. How do we know when a Church has become a cult? Curious Mary

Hi twinc, Thank you for your advise on Raja Yoga. As long as it is God centered then it is ok for one to practice it. What little I read about it, it seems ok. Mary

I am so sorry. This makes absolutely ZERO sense to me. Maybe a theologian can understand what you are saying but I can't. I still don't understand why and "old man" does not have to do what Jesus told him to do. Why is the old man dead spiritually? You called yourself an old man in a previous...

Thank you BOL...take a chill pill, relax, take a sabbatical from this website, practice yoga. If you were as observant as you think you are you wouldn't still be arguing with me. There is no debate. I said what I said. I didn't say what you are accusing me of. It's that simple. Put what I wrote...

Hi sir, You don't think doing what Jesus told us to do is necessary anymore? Or is it just not necessary for you? But it is necessary for most other Christians? I don't know what "real thing is partakes of the real thing" means. Can you explain that meaning to me? Is it in scripture? You...

Thank you. Why doesn't the old man need to participate in communion? Why is it only the new man that does that? Curious Mary

I do not understand a word you just wrote...I apologize. You used to participate in communion and you stopped because____________________. (fill in the blank) In the last paragraph you wrote are you saying that due to Jesus sacrifice on the cross AND the out pouring of the Holy Ghost that we...

Dear sir, I do not see how Eph 4:22-24 has anything to do with the subject matter at hand. Respectfully, Mary

I re-read your post and think I understand what you are saying. You don't think it is necessary to participate in the actual eating of the bread and drinking of the blood. The Last Supper words and actions that Jesus performed are not actions that we need to perform. The Last Supper was a...

Hi Amadeus, You used to do it. Why did you do it then? Why don't you do it anymore? Mary

I guess I could be. I understand it to mean the act of doing; marriage ceremony, giving your coat to one in need, receiving communion, anointing with oil, gathering with my fellow Christians once a week (just like the Christians in the NT practiced) etc. etc. Where am I going wrong in my use...

Hi BG, Why does scripture tell us to "practice" so many things: anointing the sick with oil in the name of the Lord, confess to each other our sins, consume bread and wine, not to look at a woman with lustful intent, baptism, feed the poor, offer our coat etc. etc.??? I feel like there must be...
