What you are saying is you dont have teh answer you want, cant give it to you, I commune with Christ everyday, He is my friend, even knows my name, why do I need to remember one who is with me always, pretty hard to forget one whom you are joined to.Dear mjrhealth,
If you answered me about you takeing communion....I don't see the answer. I suspect you don't.
I hope you do take communion because He did tell us to spend our days doing stuff....which is opposite of your statement:
And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water (something you do) because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”
Give (something you do) to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.
everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent (something you do which is a sinful act) has already committed adultery with her in his heart
Sell your possessions, and give to the needy (something you do)
He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me." (something you do)
Jesus also told us to do what he commanded and to put his words to practice:
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations (something you do), baptizing them (something you do) in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them (something you do) to observe all that I have commanded you.
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice (something you do) is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
Is your house built on a rock? Do you do what he commanded????
IHS.....Mary
I do hope one day that you will give Him 5 minutes of your time
ya, i'm not beneath you at all in this scenario, am i lol
we're totally equals right
you're kidding yourself, mjr, butI do hope so..
God bless
It's not an answer I want. It's an answer Jesus wants. And that answer should be: Yes Marymog, I do what Jesus commanded me to do. ;)What you are saying is you dont have teh answer you want, cant give it to you, I commune with Christ everyday, He is my friend, even knows my name, why do I need to remember one who is with me always, pretty hard to forget one whom you are joined to.
It is teh answer, just not teh one you like, how can one with has Jesus need to do communion to remember Him, when He is with you always, if He is with you, and you and are with Him why do you need to remember Him I share with Him everyday, that is what "communion" is. You are a religious person doing what your religion demands. You could just talk to Jesus.It's not an answer I want. It's an answer Jesus wants. And that answer should be: Yes Marymog, I do what Jesus commanded me to do. ;)
Since you can't say you do what Jesus commanded you to do only you have to answer to Him, not me.
I bet you are a dodge ball player...and a very good one.
Ummmm....because He said to do it?It is teh answer, just not teh one you like, how can one with has Jesus need to do communion to remember Him, when He is with you always, if He is with you, and you and are with Him why do you need to remember Him I share with Him everyday, that is what "communion" is.

YEs you choose a tradition I choose Him.Ummmm....because He said to do it?
It is not a matter if I like it or not sir. Your decision is between you and Him....not you and me.

You must have a different bible than me sir. Here is what my bible says: Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.YEs you choose a tradition I choose Him.
And the man inserted and organized traditional practices of the Catholic Church have developed over a 1700 year period. So what does that mean? Consider that Judaism at the time of Christ had already existed for about 1500 years. Old age in men or in men's traditions does not make them correct. There are Jews today who still say they have the right answer. If time is the key then with about 3500 years in existence should we not then go to the Jews for the truth?NOT participating in communion is a 500 year tradition of men. Christians have been doing what Jesus commanded them to do since He rose from the dead.
And Amadeus inserted and organized his own traditional practices of the his church that he has developed over a XX period of years that he has been alive. Faced with Jesus, the Truth, Amadeus chose rather to follow his traditions and translations of scripture. Jesus told us to eat wafers of bread repeatedly when HE said this: "Do this in remembrance of me". Amadeus has started his own tradition of not doing it.And the man inserted and organized traditional practices of the Catholic Church have developed over a 1700 year period. So what does that mean?

The one needs to kill an innocent lamb repeatedly. The other needs to eat wafers of bread repeatedly. Both claim to have received their traditions from God. Which one is right? Is either one of them right?
I could quote more scripture here, but you have decided that you and your church are right and every other person is wrong. The Jews twisted what God showed them and the Catholics have twisted what Jesus said.
This divided opinion between one set of men's ways and another set of men's ways leaves us no real choice but to go directly to God for the right answer.
No, I went directly to God as I suggested. I haven't got it all yet, but He is not finished with me and I am growing. The organized churches are not, because they routinely quench the Holy Spirit in their members. Without the Holy Spirit there can be no Life and without Life there cannot be any growth.And Amadeus inserted and organized his own traditional practices of the his church that he has developed over a XX period of years that he has been alive.

The men of the "organized churches" didn't go directly to God? Hmmmmmm.......;)No, I went directly to God as I suggested. I haven't got it all yet, but He is not finished with me and I am growing.

To the extent that they were organized by men God's input was not invited nor accepted by them as He is not invited nor accepted by so many today.The men of the "organized churches" didn't go directly to God? Hmmmmmm.......;)
He spoke to you but not them? Fascinating!!!![]()
Really??To the extent that they were organized by men God's input was not invited nor accepted by them as He is not invited nor accepted by so many today.
God does speak to men today as He has always spoken to men whose hearts were open to receive. Do you deny that God has done that and that God is able to do that? Is God so powerless as that?
You want to say that God has never spoken to me, but your basis for that is apparently because He has not spoken to you about these things. Your presumption is in error. In the OT only a select few had direct communication with God. Jesus came so that that could be changed and it has been. But you along with many who claim to believe in Him deny His power:
"Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." II Tim 3:5
I cannot speak to their case. I can only speak for myself.Really??
'God does speak to men today"....But he didn't speak to the men who walked and talked with the Apostles.....Fascinating.
You are quite quick to put words in my mouth."He has always spoken to men whose hearts were open to receive"....But THEIR hearts weren't open to receive?? Yours was.... Interesting....
My presumption is in error??? Hmmmmm.....God spoke to YOU but not them....Wow....
Reading the Bible and listening to God!Jesus changed that huh??? Now he speaks to EVERYONE??? With the caveat that He is invited or accepted by the person that wants God to speak to them. And THEY didn't invite or accept Him....How do you know this?????
Soooo to get back to the topic.....Why don't you do what He told you to do and they did do what he told them to do????
Never mind....He talked to you....and not them![]()
no I just have Jesus, have you not readYou must have a different bible than me sir. Here is what my bible says: Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
Amen! Many do not understand that in the Bible alone or in the church house alone, we can be lost. Perfect church attendance and daily Bible reading may get us a gold star from the Sunday School teacher, but what will it get us from God?no I just have Jesus, have you not read
Joh 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
Joh 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
and for @amadeus
Joh 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
you have your religion we have Christ, you made your choice we made ours.
Condemend is that how you feel, how can those in "Christ" feel condemned, as I said before, we all have our choice, teh we is those who are in Him, if you are in Him there is no condemnation, like I said do as you will ,most christians do. The best anyone can do is offer you Christ, than teh choosing is yours.ah, who is "we?"
all 4 of you, or what?
i mean, i understand that A and myself--at least--are condemned by you, but could you describe who this "we" is? ty
any witnesses to your pov will be fine
@mjrhealth
no, that is what you saidCondemend is that how you feel
indeed. i guess if they condemn, they prolly feel condemned?how can those in "Christ" feel condemned
ah, pls tell me more lolteh we is those who are in Him, if you are in Him there is no condemnation
