How can the highest act of worship for some Christians be idolatry for other Christians?

Wannano:

I am only guessing you are still referring to me. It’s only fair to let you know I have been witness to hundreds of masses.

Sorry your comment led me to assumed you’ve never been to a Catholic mass. I mean if you’ve been to hundreds of masses your comment makes even less sense. Did you noticed all of the Biblical references in the mass, like the ones I listed? I’m sure St. Paul would be able to follow right along. So why would you claim St. Paul (a Biblical Scholar) be wondering what in the world is happening?

I don’t mean to be trivial but it seems you are claiming to know something about early Christian worship that the rest of us don’t know. Because of your comment, are you making the claim that St. Paul would feel more at home sitting in a non-denominational church or maybe a Baptist or Lutheran church?

Just Curious,

God Bless

That would be my inclination.

Probably, but I bet he’d get it pretty quick, once he got past the culture shock and baggage that necessarily accrues.

Care to share your “inclination “ why St.Paul would feel more at home in a nondenominational service, that wouldn’t be breaking bread, and why he would be wondering what in the world is going on in a Catholic mass?

Not tonight and tomorrow I am travelling. You have changed the parameters though from what I understood you were asking…that is now you only ask about non-denominations who aren’t breaking bread. I have little knowledge of non-denominations in general and especially those who do not practice Communion.

No I didn’t read my original question…

Doesn’t matter to me pick any denomination you like and show us how St. Paul would know exactly what is going on in their service because you can also show us that this is how the early Church worshiped.

I you want to make the claim that St. Paul would be wondering what in the world is going on during a Catholic Mass then I’m going to call you out on it. Either put up the evidence (of how the early church worshiped) to prove your claim or admit that you just posted that out of frustration.

God Bless
