I want one of these... Jesus Action Figure with Walk on Water action!;)

Are there any other nearby churches?

I became a Christain about five years ago - The Church I went to then and still go to is an Anglo Catholic Church - Basically Anglican with some of the Roman smells and bells thrown in for good measure. Though I really don't know how much longer I will go there because as I am learning more I am discovering how wrong alot of the tradition actually is - What gets me down more than anything is the way people are more interested in sticking with the traditions than actually getting stuck into serious worship and prayer.

" Holy Mary - Mother of God " - How wrong is that one line.... And it is one of the many parts of the litturgy that I just don't say anymore...

True. There are many different ones that supposedly follow God. I guess we'll find out in the end who was right and who was wrong. But as Joshua said, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." As for me, I believe that says to follow the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth: BIBLE.

I think it's left open.

Some believe it's a representation, some people think it's a transformation. I don't think it's even important, but looking down on peopke over such a technicality in their belief's is petty.

They believe in the same God and Jesus that you do, just go about it in a slightly different way. You seem to have it in your heads that there is only one way to live, so no one will ever take your preaching seriously, unless they'd already decided that they wanted to live like you anyway.

I was raised Catholic. What you are talking about is called transsubstantiation (trans-sub-stan-she-a-shun) (big word). It means that the wafer and wine become the body and blood of Jesus at the time of communion. As only the priest partakes of the wine (or juice) now, the perticipants in communion only partake of the body. However (what version doesn't matter), the Bible says it is only a showing of the Lord's death until He comes again. Communion should not be done but in remembrance of what He did for us. At the last supper, when Jesus offered the bread, the disciples knew that it was only a representation of His body. The same with the cup of wine.

FF's not being anti-catholic. They believe in praying to Mary, which is unscriptural. I attended an uncle's funeral about two months ago and a priest there was praying and said, "holy mother of our Lord, we know that you have told your son about our brother ......" No one has to tell Jesus about anyone. He's God. I heard someone else in a eulogy say he was a good catholic. That doesn't get you into heaven. Neither does being a good Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist, or whatever. If you have not accepted Jesus, BY YOUR OWN FREE WILL, as Lord and Savior of your life, you're not going to heaven

Catholics don't necessarily believe that it is LITERALLY his body and blood, although it wouldn't surprise me if some did.
You're being stereotypical.



And this whole Mass thing.
You don't take it, it's not medicinal.
And it wasn't that the Bible said "Thou shalt go to mass"
It's just a way they like to pray together.
A gathering for a service.


Besides, lots of protestant versions have masses too.

Why are you snubbing other people's way of worshiping your God, even though they've accepted Christ like you said?

I think this also... But I do not have the never ending knowledge of the bible like you do..

But I do not believe in purgatory o no.

Catholic Mass believe they are eating and drinking Jesus' body and blood which is disgusting and un-scriptual. The wine and bread merely represent the body and blood of Christ. The Early Church was fine, then Catholics started decorating the Church and taking Mass, before the Protestants broke away and now, today we have separate Catholic and Protestant Churches.

No. Mass is when "masses" (see where the word Mass comes from) come together in a church for a service lead by a priest.
You don't take mass, it's not a drug.
And who said not to?


And it's not sacrificing anyone.
You're being silly and anti-catholic.
Its all Christian you mong.

Protestant only started because King Henry wanted a new wife!

Unless you just have a disorder where you can't laugh but still find things funny.
