    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    What is higher (1) the law, (2) the law giver? If your answer is (2) the law giver then the dilemma constructed on your post is over. God can make laws and then make new ones as his purposes mature in creation.

    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    The council of Trent also says the following (in the same decree 13). CHAPTER IV. On Transubstantiation. And because that Christ, our Redeemer, declared that which He offered under the species of bread to be truly His own body, therefore has it ever been a firm belief in the Church of God, and...

    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    John chapter six lends itself to a Eucharistic understanding and the holy Eucharist requires faith doesn't it so I don't see that there is any disjunction between seeing the chapter as essentially about the holy Eucharist and also essentially about Christian faith in Jesus Christ. Nevertheless I...

    Slain in the spirit

    In the Presbyterian church that I attended I was taught to be anti-Catholic in all sorts of ways some were little (such as competing with Catholics to say "amen" when cued) and some were large (such as complaining about Trent's definition of Justification) and some were deeply ingrained into...

    Slain in the spirit

    Condemning Catholics because of their faith is very common but not quite a majority behave like it. But are all the ones who do it 'secretly condemned'? I hope not. Lord have mercy on us all.

    You claim that the Lord Jesus Christ was speaking symbolically when he said "this is my body", why is it symbolic?

    Was the blood moon experience a disappointment?

    Mocking fellow Christians is troubling to me, pointing out absurdity in beliefs or claims about the meaning of the holy scriptures is right and proper. Some confuse the two. For example, pointing out that John Hagee's theories have failed and that they have no significant biblical basis for...

    Christians taking communion in other churches

    That's what I asked, why attend, why attend and also partake? It seems a very strange way to express one's convictions.

    It was sad, now I think about it only occasionally, and with the 'wisdom of hindsight' I do not think the friendship was well founded.

    Slain in the spirit

    Your faith icon says "Pentecostal" if it is accurate then the idea of (1) water baptism and (2) spirit baptism is almost certainly part of your denominations fundamental beliefs. The USA Assembly of God has ‘Four Core Beliefs’ : (1) Salvation, (2) Baptism in the Holy Spirit, (3) Divine Healing...

    Christians taking communion in other churches

    In my parish many children comes forward for a blessing with their parents behind them. I can't say if your parish was unique and I do not know how long ago it was. I have some Charismatic/Pentecostal friends and (sadly) some ex-friends too. Among the ex-friends is a couple who asked why I did...

    Christians taking communion in other churches

    I imagine that there are some priests who feel the way the priest you've mentioned does. It seems that some Christians want to be friendly and liked and warm and welcoming so much that they forget about important things and "open wide the doors" so to speak. I understand their motives but I do...
