I was denied the eucharist...and it hurt

[Jethro Bodine]

I keep telling you - she is not a Catholic.

So now explain why that means she can't take Communion.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

So you should be keeping the Sabbath.
Do you?

I don't have to, lol.
But if I did it would most certainly be on the actual Sabbath Day, not the Catholic invention.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

THAT'S why she can't receive communion in a CC.

1 Corinthians 11
Paul agrees with the CC.
I think it's verse 27 28 or 29

Spell it out.
What did she not do according to the Bible that disqualifies her from taking Communion?

 

[Jethro Bodine]

News flash J,
Unless you've changed drastically sans advising me, You also believe in a works salvation.
And I'm sure you know what I mean.
IOW, salvation....
Not getting saved.

I am saved
I am being saved
I will be saved...

But that's not what Mungo was addressing, lol!

I know that by the simple fact he made reference to 'faith alone' (the erroneous reference to Paul's faith 'apart from works').

I don't have to, lol.

Sounds like you want to be Jewish.
We're in the New Covenant now.

Are you sorry we celebrate Jesus' resurrection?

I went to a Nazarene church and an Assembly of God church. They both called it Easter Sunday.

You and Mungo aren't on the same page.
I'm like Windows 3.1
I understand both of you.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

Please explain how your reply addresses either of my points.

You yourself said Catholics do not believe in being made righteous by faith 'alone'. Stop wiggling and just be honest here, Mungo! You said it, so you tell us how that factors into the OP being refused Communion.

Oh my gosh. This is such a big knot to be untied, for a Catholic, particularly.

Easter is a Catholic invention. Changing the day that we celebrate our Passover Lamb was changed by the Catholics, not by God. Yes, most Protestants don't know this and think God changed it.

 

[GodsGrace]

She doesn't believe the host is the body and blood of Jesus. That's why she never answered my question but took off instead.

If a person does not believe in transubstantiation, they cannot partake of communion. It's mockery, and God will not be mocked. It's a sin.

There's no doubt that Catholics are in a completely different paradigm of thought than non-Catholics. But I can see through the haze and I know Catholics believe that a person can only be a saved person by performing the rituals and believing the doctrines of the Catholic church, and that to reject them is to not be, or remain, a saved person.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

I don't recall that in the conversation. Maybe I missed it.

That is pathetic nonsense.

If you want to believe that foolishness you're certainly entitled to. No one's stopping you, but obviously, the Catholic church does not entitle others to not believe it (i.e. the OP).

You're right about the date change.
The Orthodox kept the Passover date that the Jews celebrate.

They had a reason. I don't think it was evil.
Why don't Protestant churches go back to the old way? Must be more convenient like this?

 

[GodsGrace]

No problem.
There you have it.

Could be.
But if you want to work as a brain surgeon, you must follow the rules of the hospital that employs you.

See John 6:53
It means to chew.

 

[GodsGrace]

Be back later.

Not when those rules are wrong.

Oh, good grief. There's nothing to chew on there, lol. He was obviously talking metaphorically. Christianity is NOT a religion of cannibalism.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

No problem.
There you have it.

She plainly said she was refused because she was considered non-Catholic. Which you can't deny means, to the Catholic church, unsaved.
