We take up the collection when the liturgy of the word is finished and the liturgy of the Eucharist is about to begin. After the collection the gifts are brought to the priest at the foot of the sanctuary along with the money collected. People can give automatically if they want to but I do not...
When you're sad or ill do you wonder if God loves you?
Being ill can be a very miserable experience and it seems so unnecessary so why do Christians get ill? Surely being in Christ and being his body ought to confer some sort of immunity, right?

I wish there was a vaccine for the common cold and for flu that would give immunity to those unwanted and inconvenient viral infections for life!
What do you wish?

We also use a common cup. Many from Pentecostal meetings are used to individual sealed plastic tiny cups so would the prospect of using a common cup shared with all the people who went to receive communion before you be a daunting prospect?
Our faith roots are not in what the rabbis teach today. Their religion is not the religion that Jehovah gave through Moses. They have their own religion, one that they invented with their "traditions of men" through which they make void the law of God.
I know that you're making an effort to explain why you think that the ten commandments embrace all that is commanded in the new commandment given by the Lord but I can't help but feel that you're looking at it from the wrong end - sort of like looking through binoculars at the big lens end...
But they are not a Christian church. They are an entirely different religion. Just like Islam is. Why go to either of them for lessons about Christianity?
