IMHO, the bread and wine were already Jesus. In the beginning of John, it states 10He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. If the world came to being through him, the bread and wine was him. Wine then was a neccesity, water was unfit to drink. It was very low in alcohol, because without…[Read more]

It is with heavy heart that I make this post. After investigating some of the things that Irene told me and finding them to be true, I cannot in clear concience attend another mass. I found that the rcc actually believes that they re-crucify Jesus every mass. I was directed to read Hebrews, where I read that one sacrifice atoned for my sins, not…[Read more]

Pierre, Read your Bible. Jesus when he was alive only participated in the Jewish Temple, he was not involved with any other denomination until after he died. The gospel details his actions in and around the temple, including his participation in it, and his disputes with the pharasees and scribes and leadership. John wrote Revalation in exile o…[Read more]

Irene,I have to tell someone when they are right. And you are mostly right about the rcc. I looked up some things you mentioned to get a better view, and like I have experienced in the past, I am in shock at some of the things I read. I have a new vigor in my struggle. I mean this sincerely, Thanks.

Even if the date was true, Jesus said that for the sake of the chosen the time would be shortened, so any attempt on calling it is false prophesy. Also , no one knows the day or hour, not even Jesus. We can know the season from the other things he prophesied, and all seems to have happened, so IMHO, it would be a win-win idea for everyone to live…[Read more]

And if I understood your answer to my question, which was “Do you love me?” you answered you loved all men as a creation of God, like the dogs and snakes and trees, etc. , but I am not your brother because I don't agree with all of your opinions, Am I right?

Absolutely Pierre. Reading or quoteing doesn't mean you love Christ and others. I wish you could give me an example of how you actually do that though. Or how you worship. I think you are avoiding the question, so I will leave it at that. My point was and is, throwing critical statements at people about Gods commandments or ways is not storing up…[Read more]

Quote (mikeangel @ June 14 2011,23:03)Also Pierre, you asked “Why would you beg God?”. It comes from a passage it the Gospel-Luke 18:1-8 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.

Apparently you have one thing to respond with, and that is quoting scriptures, and thanks, but I have a Bible of my own and read it regularly, and you need to give me examples of how you put those scriptures into practice, not just quote them. You will not be disqualified from reward for “preforming acts for others to see” because on this forum,…[Read more]

This is straight off the wire. Not from me. You decide. I do not believe Glen has a grip on why this is happening, but he does know how to report the signs. If it didn't make Fox news any money, you wouldn't have heard him. Thank God there is one sliver of facts in the media. Peace-Mark

This is a fitting post in “Last days”. This is not even heard of in the media here-On Thursday, the International Atomic Energy Agency “de-restricted” its most recent report on Iran's nuclear progress.

where the concern should come from, is that unless the US gets a grip on the insane way it runs itself, it's econimic system will collapse. When that happens, it will leave a huge hole in the world that will suck the life out of all the worlds economys much like pulling the stopper out of the drain in a tub. Look at Greece.
