Does God call people to be separate from Catholic Eucharist

[feed_me]

It doesnt, it just shows how gullable people are at listening to these dogs that only care about themselves, if people listened to God and tested these claims or should i say spirits behind them then there wouldnt be many or any splits in the church.

Yep, I agree. However, that is vague and doesn’t really answer much.

Trust me, I know Church leaders can be ugly and wrong, worldly and “Yes men”. But it’s when a new “Church” is founded by men which is the sign of following themselves.

This is a funny (playful) example of what I mean.

Whelp, that squelched any further debate. It’s hard to argue with AI.

So how does one know that they are testing properly? Of course they all say they test things, and only hold fast to that which is true. They all just have different perceptions of what that means!

The problem, is when members see dogs (or wolves) they run. Wolves bite and hurt. Jesus is the Good Shepherd who gave His life for the sheep. He is why we stay, and why we can muster the strength to stay.

It’s easy to be at peace, when there are no wolves. It’s hard to be a lamb, when wolves circle.

It’s the new way to search for a nice, well to do, quaint, charming, thriving church, which does not make known its position on dozens of issues or promotes relativism, and then decide to attend.

Jesus sent us out as sheep among wolves, and they are constantly infiltrating the Church. We cave in, and say “who am I to stand up to false beliefs? I will step aside and leave it to someone else who wants to get bit.”

Priests have a duty to admonish the flock, and rebuke those who deny the faith. This is a tremendous task! But the reward is a clean house, at peace with one another and praising God with genuine joy!

But we want our reward without the risk and confrontation. If a member comes to the priest and explains s/he is leaving the Church, whether for disagreements of doctrine or claims of a private revelation, we are to give an account for the faith we profess, and not shrink away or try to be a yes man.

It’s ok to struggle with Teachings. Jesus Taught hard doctrines! But to deny the doctrines which the Church who feeds us Christ’s Eucharist will only result in damaging the body, even if we experience a pleasant result. It’s the devil paving the way, so he does not have to contend with us resisting his plans.

Look back at my previous replies

Still Christian Sorry dude. I’ve still been baptised and still follow Christ. You’re just wrong. And off topic.

 

[Alex337]

Are we sure of the bonafides of Alex? He/she CLAIMS to be a married English teacher, yet posts/argues like a petulant teenager. Not to mention he/she uses the term “dude” WAY too often, and not in a complimentary manner either.

It looks to me like you guys are arguing with a kid.

Heh, it’s almost like I’m not at my job or something. I use colloquialisms happily, as do most of my staffroom (they’re a bunch of hippies at heart), when out of work because I’m not a robot.

And you’re off topic

 

[Alex337]

You say we should simply leave it and then ignore my request to return to the topic in order to pick at it more. So; return to topic? I’m not going to agree with you on this; I follow Christ and you sound so bitter about that.

 

[Alex337]

Sorry, but you really can’t/ You’ve flip flopped on your own point too many times to try to claim that.

I think you don’t realize that you are not making any sense. All you are saying, feed_me, is that you have made yourself the standard by which all right interpretation exists. There is nothing outside yourself to validate your opinion. This is the case with everyone who interprets differently, and comes up with an opposite answer. You believe your understanding is superior, but you cannot give any evidence as to why it should be more accurate than the opinion of the person who believes differently.

So I guess you don’t know any like that.

If you highlight a section of text in the post you are reading and touch the “quote” button above it your reply window will open with the text quoted. This way, people will know what you are referencing in your reply.

In a fast moving thread such as this, it is impossible to find any relationship between your response and the post related.

Spending time around kids can get a person into kid mentality. It often helps one to relate to them.

It doesn’t benefit your case to repeat the same claim over and over again.

It does have the broken record feel to it. As if reason is exhausted. This is why I thought that the goal was conversion, or at least approval, and when that did not occur, we got the broken record.

I feel like I’m either debating a 17 year old or debating someone who hasn’t matured past adolescence.

Perhaps not spiritually, anyway. But I think it is clear that there is no “debate” happening here.

I’m definitely seeing more of this blatant contempt for Church Teaching on CAF.

This is one of the things I miss about the old forum.

Sure I do. But it’s the start of my weekend and I couldn’t be bothered researching now

Ok, I don’t have that button on my device. But even so, it helps your reader to show what it is in their post that has elicited a response from you.

Really? It shows up on my computer and mobile. Check the top right, it should have a user icon.

Also, I prefer that way as in my mobile quotes take up most of the screen.

Btw, have to go now, guests arrived.

The icon at the top right of my screen has my user icon, but does not tell me what post you are referencing in your response. I can only get there using the arrow that appears when a user enters a “quote”.

Also, I prefer that way as in my mobile quotes take up most of the screen.

Perhaps it is irrelevant? It appears that there is no discussion anymore.

 

[OsculeturMeOsculo]

Does that mean you said

There exists people in many religions who provide miracles and pay claim to a special degree of sanctity and faith.

without anybody in mind?
