I will try one more time: Do you participate in a "practice" that is in remembrance of Him? If you do, does that "practice" include bread and wine? If you don’t, why don’t you? Mary

You are arguing with me but I am not sure WHY!!! I basically already said that (about yoga). o_O Did you read what I wrote??????? Slow down, take a chill pill and read what is written to you and put it in context my fellow Christian....;) All in love....Mary

You equated the “practice” of marriage to Paul's words about receiving Jesus body and blood. I don’t understand how the two equate? If you are talking about the CEREMONY that is performed during a wedding then I agree that "practice" (ceremony) is ingrained and handed down from generation to...

Hi and thank you for articulating your position. You are right. It is historically accurate that the Romans accused the Christians of being atheist, however, as we know, they weren’t atheist. The Romans made this accusation because the Christians didn’t worship the Roman gods. Therefor the...

I give up.... If you can't put into context what I was saying by reading the first 10 words I wrote I certainly can't help you. (Hi Stranger, I think I get what you are saying.) If you don't understand or get it now....you never will. Have a blessed day.....Mary You really should try...

Hi Scott, Thank you for your insight. I agree with you. It alone is not a "magic key to the kingdom". It is ONE of many things Jesus asked/told us to do to be saved; baptism, keep the commandments, faith, love one another etc etc. None of those ONE things is the "magic key" if you do them...

Hi TT, Thank you for your honest response. I really wish you could have articulated or explained your belief on the connection between "coming to him" and "believing in him". :( I really enjoy seeing how others come to different conclusion than I do. I believe your "Discerning the body could...

Hi Amadeus, Your question is a bit confusing to me so I will answer it the best I can. I suppose Christians are eating His flesh and drinking His blood.....Just like he told us to do: “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life...

Thank you BG. I am just repeating scripture and historical writings. It is not what I said, it is what Jesus said and the 1st Century Christians practiced. I am encouraged that you "Now and again" do what He told us to do. Some don't do it at all.:( I am discouraged that you were unable to...

Hi TT, I don't think it is fair to jump from John 6:29 to 35 and then to 53 and then to 55 to make your point. You left everything out that weakens your argument. In all fairness you should put ALL of John 6 in context. However, I will move on. What do you think Paul meant in 1 Corinthians...

HI BOL, ONCE AGAIN I wasn't TRYING to say anything....I flat out SAID IT: "I agree that she gave birth to BOTH." That means I am AGREEING with you!! ONCE AGAIN you are confusing my summary of what I thought stranger was saying with what I was saying. How much clearer can I be??:( Would you...

No, I'm not speaking of the new or inner man. Thank you for your input though. Respectfully, Mary

Thank you BG. I don't think the bread (Eucharist) is a "symbol" since He said it was His body. He seemed to be speaking literally about it on MULTIPLE occasions AND some disciples walked away because they took His words literally AND Paul took it literally AND, as pointed out in my OP the 1st...

Thank you TT. Your statement makes sense. So you don't think when Jesus took the bread and said, “Take, eat; this is my body" he really meant "this (the bread) IS my body"? What do you believe he meant? Mary

Hi BOL, Once again take a chill pill and read what I wrote. I wasn't TRYING to say anything.....I flat out SAID IT: "I agree that she gave birth to BOTH." Have you ever considered Yoga classes ;) IHS...Mary

Hi BOL, I agree that she gave birth to BOTH. The quote from me you provided (in red and bold) was my summary of what I thought Stranger was saying. We are agreeing with each other but using different words to come to the same conclusion. My choice of words are confusing so I digress....:cool...

Hi TT, I may be misunderstanding what you are trying to say in your example #1 so please walk me thru it. Are you saying that there are some Christians who believe that the bread and wine of Communion is a physical God? Thank you in advance....Mary

In Luke 22:19 Jesus says to “Do this in remembrance of me”. Later on in Luke 24:30 He did with his disciples what he was asking us to do. When He did it their eyes were opened. In John 6:53 He tells us Verily, verily if we don’t do it we have no life in us. We all know the power of the words...

Hi Natalie, Scripture tells us that during the time of the Apostles there was confusion or disagreement about the teachings of Jesus. A council (Council of Jerusalem) was called to set the record straight and The Church decided what was to be taught/believed by all Christians (about...

Hi BOL, Marymog never said that Mary was the source of Jesus's divinity, so I don't know where you're getting that. What I actually said....and I quote "she is NOT the source of His divinity". Marymog never said that Mary created God so I don't know where you're getting that. Marymog never said...
