COMMUNION: Does "is" mean "is?" Catholic, Lutheran, Evangelical
I do not know how God achieves his miracles but I believe him. Jesus said "this is my body" and he said "this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins" if I believe him for the forgiveness of sins then I shall also believe him when he says this is my...- MoreCoffee

Antihistamines for works.
It may be helpful if you do not read my posts as if they were about you or about some specific person. My posts are usually about ideas. They also touch on how ideas influence people. And it is important to note that I do not proclaim myself holy. I know that I am not holy yet. But I trust in...- MoreCoffee

Is the bible enough and do you respect it when you dislike its use?
I agree that in some Protestant churches/denominations/independent-meetings Paul is read a great deal, the gospels less, and James almost not at all. The Presbyterian denomination of which I was formerly member preached Paul a great deal and judging from the pod-casts that some of their pastors...- MoreCoffee

COMMUNION: Does "is" mean "is?" Catholic, Lutheran, Evangelical
I do not believe that there are any elements after the consecration. There are gifts of bread and wine brought to the altar and the prayer of consecration and then there is the body and Christ and the blood of Christ whole and entire along with his soul and divinity. The real presence is the...- MoreCoffee

Nostalgia
I do not think we need to fall and hurt ourselves before we can see God's goodness and love. The holy angels behold the face of God and never fell. They work and strive against the foes of goodness - those foes are also the foes of God because opposing what is good is opposing God. But for many...- MoreCoffee

Antihistamines for works.
I do represent well :) The gospel is a message of joy and freedom - freedom from the bondage of sin. One cannot be free from sin if one ignores one's own sins and happily rejoices in a sin laden life. That is the happiness of riot and indifference. Try the happiness of holiness and love for God...- MoreCoffee

Stop to consider what refining means. It is purging the dross in metal so that only the pure metal is left and the dross burned and skimmed off. Giving thought to the meaning of the word "purgatory" ought to reveal that it means refining. It means purging away the dross to leave only the pure...- MoreCoffee

A pastor who builds up the attendance in his parish church by eloquent speaking, clever advertising by word of mouth, novel songs and performances, and wherever else he needs to make his parish "seeker friendly" but he does not honour the liturgy pray regularly for his parishioners or use parish...- MoreCoffee

The wood, straw, and hay are what one uses to build the body of Christ (the church). wood, hay, and straw burn when there's a fire. They are lost and the structures in the church (body of Christ) that is made with them is lost.- MoreCoffee

GOOD PEOPLE ONLY: Metaphor in holy scripture.
The problem is that you're reading this the wrong way around. It isn't Jesus that is like an earthly door it is the earthly door that is like Jesus. The earthly door is the metaphor. The reality is Jesus. Jesus is the door. Earthly doors are like him insofar as they open and shut and govern...- MoreCoffee
