The more I read in the Catholic encyclopedia, the more evident that certain popes and scholars of their have made it clear their take on salvation is something on the order of eating of the Tree of Life to get salvation. Between dining on it from time to time their advocate Mary, mother of Jesus, makes intercession for them.
Pointing out a cult religion is not mocking it. We are supposed to warn reach other of those that cause divisions in the body of Christ. The RCC leadership has always done, still does exactly that.
Christians have but one purpose in keeping the type of the Lord's Communion, and that is only to offer up remembrance as a congregation of believers, of Jesus' giving up His body and blood for believers. Upon meeting the "Roman Road" requirements to be born again we get all of Christ He has to give.
Then there remains another gift, the indwelling Holy Spirit. It is not written that one is saved by eating that cracker and drinking that half ounce of grape juice. Ever raised a glass to toast an honored guest or fallen hero? Jesus is more worthy of better, but will not accept direct disobedience of a law against drinking blood.
Had Jesus meant that literally He would have instantly disqualified Himself as the Lamb of God, a sinner, an imperfect lamb with spot. He meant it figuratively in the sense of Ezekiel being commanded to eat a scroll of God's word.

Ummm....actually we are supposed to make sure we are not unworthy of taking part in a sacred moment of adoration.
Taking of that bread and that drink is a matter of life and death if not done righteously.
1 Corinthians 11:23-34 (KJV)
[SUP]23 [/SUP] For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
[SUP]24 [/SUP] And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
[SUP]25 [/SUP] After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
[SUP]26 [/SUP] For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
[SUP]27 [/SUP] Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
[SUP]28 [/SUP] But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
[SUP]29 [/SUP] For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
[SUP]30 [/SUP] For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
[SUP]31 [/SUP] For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
[SUP]32 [/SUP] But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
[SUP]33 [/SUP] Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
[SUP]34 [/SUP] And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
It at the least belongs to the children of God already saved in Christ, walking in the light as Jesus did, constantly repenting of any sin, our goal to live like Him. If in doubt refuse to take part until you do know how you stand with the Lord.

No, The problem is your anger is so heavy you never listen to anyone,
He brought SALVAION (ETERNAL) to the jews and gentiles.
But he promised ALSO to being deliverance to ISREAL WHEN they repent of their sins against him, and recieve the true messiah.
Two different promises.
You can continue to mock and judge me and say I am saying something I HAVE NEVER SAID, it will not make what you say true, People have been here before you and said the same thing, They are no longer here.
It looks like those who wrote the gospel believed that Jesus was the true Messiah that was promised to Israel (in the first place) and also to us. I wonder why do the gospel of Matthew starts with the genealogy of Jesus if Jesus only came to perform an abstract atonement that has nothing to do with the cries and prayers of Israel? Was Jesus of Nazareth not the answer of God to Israel's prayers?
There are not two different promises. The history of Israel reached its climax with the coming of the Messiah, with the announcement: "repent! the kingdom of God is at hand!"
I don't mock and judge you. You mock and judge others (the catholics, for instance) when in fact you need to take a really close look to what you actually believe and realize that you are denying Jesus Christ!
I hope you will think very seriously about it and understand what Jesus Christ did for everybody, including national Israel.

enough of these childish games, this thread is not even about this topic. You have hijacked it out of your hate.
I am sick of talking to kids who do not listen, and keep saying I am not saying something or believe something I have said over and over I do believe.
If you can;t listen, maybe you need to go to your room in time out.
