This is incredible! Among the numerous denominations of the church, there is only one denomination which was not established by man : that is the Catholic Church...

[loubee]

Honest question:
If Protestants believe in "Sola Scriptura", why don't they believe that the Eucharist IS the body and blood of Christ? Jesus actually said "THIS IS MY BODY" & "THIS IS MY BLOOD".

[yhu]

WELCOME HOME!!! PRAISE BE JESUS now and forever!!!

[mariemandy]

I don't think that many people realize that if they are not Catholic, they are practicing heresy.

[bahreh.]

[logicaldude]

What Protestant or any other Christian doesn’t believe that the bread is the flesh of Jesus? How in the world could you miss that and think the Catholics of all people have the answer? Every Christian believes the bread is the flesh of Jesus.

[Call_Upon_YAH]

*These words are not mine.* These are the words the Ruach HaKodesh (YAHUAH's Set-Apart Spirit) uttered through me when I prayed to YAHUAH; asking him what *he wants* me to say, knowing the truth. To the chosen:



"Know that YAHUAH is the name of the Most High and YAHUsha is the name of The Son.
Come out of her, my people, who have fallen to the deceit of Constantine. Who know not my name and say they love me. I have made myself known. I have heard you and I am here.
There are many who are yours to be saved. I am he who knows all that you are. Come to me, here are they who are mine. Make haste to come, here are we. Give in to them who speak of me, they are yours. I am here for you. Know that all is for them, here are we.
Give not to them that are against me. I am he who sees all you do. Come to me out of her, all are here for me. Do what I say. Out of her, come. All are here."



Exodus 3:13-15 KJV

13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

14 And God said unto Moses,  I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel,  I Am hath sent me unto you.

15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

John 5:43 KJV

43 *I am come in my Father's name, * and ye receive me not: *if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.*

2 Corinthians 6:17 KJV

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and *touch not the unclean thing;* *and I will receive you.*

Isaiah 52:6-7 KJV

6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.

7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

2 Corinthians 6:1-2 KJV

1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

Romans 10:1-3 KJV

1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

Romans 10:13-17 KJV

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

14 *How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?*

15 *And how shall they preach, except they be sent?* as it is written, *How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!*

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. *For Esaias saith, * Lord, *who hath believed our report?*

17 *So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.*

Nahum 1:7 KJV

7 The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and *he knoweth them that trust in him.*

Hebrews 3:15 KJV

15 *While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.*

Isaiah 52:11 KJV

11 *Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing;* go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord.

John 14:15 KJV

15 *If ye love me, keep my commandments.*

Never would I ever consider joining the Roman Catholics. Eastern Orthodox maybe.but never anything Roman

[richardfarris]

There you go; it’s always easier to have someone tell you what to believe rather than study these things yourself.

Exodus 21
“When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. 8 If she does not satisfy her owner, he must allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. 9 But if the slave’s owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave but as a daughter.

Truly the lord thy god is amazing! He allows for slavery. What a great guy he is. Definitely worthy of worship...not.
