I can 'hear' the testimonials of great men and women of God without TV evangelists. Someone invented these things called books. They can be read for free via libraries and no TV preacher is going to ask for money or try and sell over-priced survivalist supplies.
Shotgun posts seldom go anywhere. Look at Tonycubed
yes, that is my perspective, too; which to me just means that they are meant for someone else, because obviously T3 would disagree with us, so there must be others, lol.
seriously Mike think you would do well to just deal with one or maybe two topics in any one given post if you really want even the chance of any kind of serious dialogue on your thoughts.
FWIW, think Catholicism (and Orthodoxy and most Lutherans and likely many Anglicans among others) would respond that the Eucharist/Communion is in fact BOTH a solemn, joyous, and grateful remembrance/memorial of the saving actions of Christ in the past AND (most especially through the reverent consumption of His body and blood) a special and intimate union with the on-going benefits and nourishment from His ETERNAL sacrifice made present to us "in the breaking of the bread" in the here and now and forever. one might add that along with the first two concepts, the Communion can also be regarded as a sign of the loving unity and fellowship of the community of Christians SHARING together this holy mystery in the form of a meal together. (at least) THREE aspects/experiences/benefits of the Eucharist for the price of one, LOL.
OTOH, perhaps the real controversial beliefs that separates and polarizes people within and without Christianity is whether Jesus existed at all and if He did who was He REALLY---what does "Son of God" mean and how could His death (or life) have any special effect on the "eternal salvation" (whatever that might mean) of His believers?
in the peace of Christ

LOL, I seem to have also made a long list of questions that would be difficult to explore or discuss in one post---so sorry.
well, it is fair to ask why treating them differently is espoused by churches.

Conversational Or Not ANYTHING IN THE BIBLE Is A Heaven Or Hell Issue ?
