The Folly of the Mass

[jgb321]

Leonard,

You need to get out of that Church (run if you can).

My father and I left the R.C.C and have a website for people like you and those who need help to find the true Biblical Jesus (Rom. 10:1-4.)

OK. I can't remember this whole song, but here goes; Ya'll can sing along to the tune of 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'

SUPER-HYPER-CALVINISTIC-EUCHARISTIC-NOTION

Um diddle dee, Oh um diddle Ay, Oh um diddle dee dee doodle!

Um diddle dee, Oh um diddle Ay, Oh um diddle dee dee doo!

When I was a little boy, about the age of seven,

my daddy told me Jesus wasn't here, He was in Heaven.

So when I took Communion, and ate the bread and wine,

I never got the bodily Christ, but only the divine!

Oh, Superhypercalvinisticeucharisticnotion!

For a Reformed Calvinist, it's part of their devotion!

If you speak of Real Presence, there will be commotion!

Superhypercalvinisticeucharisticnotion!

Um diddle dee, Oh um.....(etc)

A Lutheran came into town proclaiming Presence Real;

He said that Jesus' Blood and Body both were in the meal!

And so Communion meal became a holy sacrament,

Effecting now forgiven-ness, which was the meal's intent!

Oh, Superhypercalvinisticeucharisticnotion!

For a Reformed Calvinist, it's part of their devotion!

If you speak of Real Presence, there will be commotion!

Superhypercalvinisticeucharisticnotion!

Um diddle dee, Oh um........(etc)

The big 'Left Boot of Fellowship' my old church gave to me!

It seems that Real Presence was just more than they could see!

Although their Hero Calvin clearly taught the Real Presence,

Dispensatinalism is now their churches' essence!

Oh, Superhypercalvinisticeucharisticnotion!

For a Reformed Calvinist, it's part of their devotion!

If you speak of Real Presence, there will be commotion!

Superhypercalvinisticeucharisticnotion!

Um diddle dee, Oh um........(etc)

With Faith renewed within me now, I lifted up my face!

The Meal had become now an experience of Grace!

I still partake Communion, but now there is a twist:

Am I 'Gnesio-Lutheran' or 'Crypto-Calvinist'?

Oh, Superhypercalvinisticeucharisticnotion!

For a Reformed Calvinist, it's part of their devotion!

If you speak of Real Presence, there will be commotion!

Superhypercalvinisticeucharisticnotion!

OH SUPERHYPERCALVINISTICEUCHARISTICNOTION!

...real respectful - way to go.

Thanks for your concern. Please read my posts again: I am not Roman.

I am in the Church I am in after having read the Bible more than 40 times through 8 translations, pursuing Hebrew and Greek, and Latin studies as well. And I assure you that AFTER 35 YEARS of living for Bible Study, I know it far better than you do. I am in the Church I am in for very good reasons, and if you want to debate those reasons, we can, but despite your pompous braggadocio, YOU WILL LOSE. You're in way over your head, kid.............

After 35 years of living for Bible Study?

What about living for Jesus Christ? That is the reason for living. Education and intelligence account for nothing in the scheme of things. Even a child can understand all that is necessary for a victorious life in Christ.

Leonard has come to his conclusions. I disagree with him on things but I also respect his decision because he has studied it.

To live for Christ is to seek after wisdom...which includes education and intelligence. Thus, they matter quite a bit.

jgb321 I was born and raised Baptist for the first 30 years of my life. Once I began to really study theology I couldn't run to the Catholic Church fast enough. Anytime you want to try and convience me that the Catholic Church is the whore of Babylon or that the Pope is the Anti-Christ or what ever Chick Tract you may of read that day, send my a P.M. I would love to discuss theology with you. I read the article you wrote about the Eucharist after you left the Catholic church and its obvious that you were never taught properly what the Church truely believes and stands for.

Oh please! Floating Axe. You are playing deceptive 'word-games' unworthy of a Christian in honest discussion! During one of your lucid moments peruse some of my old posts to judge whether or not I live for Jesus Christ. I do agree with you that "Education and intelligence account for nothing in the scheme of things." I only bring it up for the edification of someone displaying a pretensiously boastful attitude. Naughty, over-reaching juveniles need to be put in their place.

So, FloatingAxe, if you've anything legitimate to say, and aren't just going to play obnoxious word-games which serve no purpose but to misdirect and draw attention away from the fact you're losing a debate, I'd love to hear from you.

I quite agree, Ted.
