Fascinating article Walid, I hope to see more like this!

I have read most of the article enough to get it,

Thanks Theodore and I will try and get back to finish it my eyes are hurting. You really blew the roof off the place with this article. Keep them coming. I sure would like to get permission to use this one Theodore. Nothing in mass production just for my personal ministry. Emails for the most part. All though I see nothing wrong with passing stuff like this out either in printed form.

Bill

H2o2Bill,

By all means, you may use this as much as you want.

Well, Constantine was a semi-arian and so was his historian/propagandist Eusebius bishop of Caesarea in Palestine. His son Constantius also was this and became a real persecutor of christians just as the later arian emperor Valens did. All four of them (Constantine, Eusebius, Constantius and Valens) had conflicts with the staunch defender of the Trinity Athanasius of Alexandria, who stood against the platonizing subordianist teaching of the monk Arius and many bishops, primarily in the east.

So to call Constantine the "founder" of the catholic church or of catholic theology is just rubbish. Many simply dont know church history.

Constantine certainly did a lot of good things for the church, but he was not really catholic himself. The first truly catholic emperor was Theodosius I, who outlawed arianism in the east and made christianity the state religion, also banning pagan sacrifice in public.

Constantine wasn't even baptized until on his deathbed.

Nice article Walid. God bless you. We should all be one-body in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Theodore, this is absolutely brilliant. It is what both the Orthodox and Catholic Churches have been saying for centuries to hard heads. Even if one person is awakened by this article to show a bit of respect to (if not outright come back to) the Apostolic Faith, it's worth it.

What's wrong with you people?
Here is what Yeshua HaMaShiach said, Do you think I have come to destroy the Torah or the Prophets I have come not to destroy but to complete. Yes indeed! I tell you not so much as a yud or stroke will be removed from Torah-not until everything must happen has happened. Yeshua did not come to start another bunch of religions and he did not. He is. Tellit wearing, Shabbat Keeping (not on Sunday), Kosher keeping, Torah Observant Jew from the tribe Y'hudah. As were his Talmidim. He came to bring sinners and The House of Yisrael back to Torah.
And yes Emperor Constantine . Started Catholism and Christainity branched off of them in 644 CE. And if you aren't doing Torah you won't be inheriting the Kingdom of Heaven. Argue all you want it is the truth. By the Yeshua HaMashiach is not Hey Zesus.
Yeshua is the Angel of Adonai's Presence.
Yisrael are still Adonai Elohims chosen people weather you like
It or not. It is the truth. And the Goyim that come to Torah will be accepted too.
It is time f or you people to wake up!!!!!! Yeshua is not a Catholic or a Christain neither are his Talmidim.
Pagan holidays such as saturnalia/christmas easter halloween and valentines day are all pagan.
Adonai's Feast Days are a shadow of things to come.
None of you people keep them.
Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the Torah Teachers and the Rabbi's you will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

To AngelInDisguise, I'm here to help I have not read the entire article yet but it seems you have not either. And it seems you are unwilling to consider any other information than what you have been taught by the Judizers you follow. In my best opinion you don't know your Bible as well as you think you do. I gave explanation to some of these verses maybe you can fill in the blanks for the rest. Nothing "new" Heb 8:13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away. ((Please see entire chapter))

Do you have any idea what Walid Shoebat teaches? I mean really Walid talks about his conversion you know about being "born again" He talks about the word "Israel". Us Bible believing Christians know that the living God of heaven is not done with Israel we know our Bibles.
(Rom 11:25-27) For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery--so that you will not be wise in your own estimation--that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, "THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB." "THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS." ((CAPITAL LETTERS INDICATE AN OLD TESTAMENT QUOTE))

Jesus Christ is the Christian's permanent Sabbath rest. We rest in HIM!
(Heb 4:9-10) So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His.

(Col 2:16-17) Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day-- things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

I have not kept the Torah and have sinned a lot I mean way to much I have a advocate that imputes His righteousness onto me. I have a Savior if your going to point the finger at me you need to talk to Him first. Sorry you stand no chance in being perfect the Bible tells me this, you won't even come close, and even if you did close is not good enough, perfection is required.
(Psa 14:2-3) The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there are any who understand, Who seek after God. They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one.
Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

I could go on and on right here but I have done battle with those caught up in the Hebrews Root Movement before to no avail that I know of. If you really want to discuss something post one thing just one thing at a time and I will do my best.

I do have a challenge for you though. Do you know any speakers that can show the Messiah from the Old Testament? From the shadows? From the Book of Leviticus or something similar? I know one it brings tears to my eyes when I here preaching like this.

An Old Portrait of Christ
Sunday, November 20, 2011
(Leviticus 1:1-10) Picture albums are great for capturing moments in time that tell a story or reveal the personality of a person. God has His own picture album – it’s the Old Testament. In it, He reveals the person and work of Christ long before He came to this earth in human form.
This message references: Leviticus 1:1-10

The Loveliness of Jesus
Sunday, November 27, 2011
(Leviticus 2) We live in a dark world full of rebellion and hostility against the righteousness of God and His Word. But against that dark backdrop, God has provided a light in the Savior. The Scriptures reveal the beauty
of His character as one who is compassionate to those who live in the
hopelessness of sin.
This message references: Leviticus 2

Please give a listen and get back with me.

For anyone else here I strongly suspect if J V McGee where alive today he would have responded to what Walid has presented to the Church in the U.S. And here is a message for Walid and Theodore and any others behind the scenes of this website. I will have to make copies of this one too to pass out with Walid's prophesy sermons.

The Antidote to Anti-Semitism
Sunday, May 15, 2011
(Genesis 12) Anti-Semitism is still a reality, even in this post World War II society. So how should a Christian respond to anti-Semitism?
This message references: Genesis 12

Enjoy,

Isa 34:1 Draw near, O nations, to hear; and listen, O peoples! Let the earth and all it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.

The name for the followers of Jesus being referred to as "Christians" are in the N.T. several times. They were everything you described above for the first three hundred years. They were NOT Christian Jews but Jewish Christians. Catholicism is a counterfeit from the start that stripped the Jewish roots of Jewish Christianity from memory for years and years. It is Catholicism that branched off of the original Jewish Christians and into a pagan religion mixed with some Christianity. When some Catholic Priests read the Bible and found out just how pagan their so called church was from the Word of God they protested and were called Protestants, and many were tortured and burned alive to bring the people back to knowledge of being saved by Grace,( just for starters ) and stood against what pagan beliefs they knew of that the Catholic church practiced but they did fall short mostly by ignorance to bring back the Jewish roots of our Faith back, until now. Many Protestant Christians are enlightened now and spreading The Word.

Actually they were not they were and still are today Netzari, Essenes, and Messianics that still exist in Yisrael to this day. The Christains separated from the Catholic (universal) man-made church in 644CE. There are more believers in Yeshua in Yisrael today then back in the day of Yeshua. And maybe you should study the History of Yisrael rather than listen to a bunch a rumors!!! It is obvilous you do not know the truth. Yeshua and his Talmidim are all
Tallit wearing, shabbat keeping (not on Sunday), Kosher keeping, Torah Observant Je. They did not found the queen of heaven pagan keeping churches.
And yes Emperor Constantine did form the pagan observant catholic church and made himself the first pontiff in 325 CE. He is also responsible for murdering Jews, Messianics, and the Goyim who bound themselves to Torah just as Yeshua HaMashiach did.
Maybe you should study history as I did.
And if you are not going to stand up for Adonai Elohim as we are than at least study the truth. By the way Kefa was never in Rome ever. Rosary beads were not introduced into the catholic pagan church till 1091 CE.

I do not believe this article is written in any way at all to
defend the false teachings of the RCC. There are many out there in
today's world that would benefit from reading this. Those that are
caught up in the Hebrew Roots movement for starters. What happens is
first they will say that Constantine founded the Catholic Church then
they will go on to link the Protestant and Evangelical Churches of
today with the Catholic Church. This also shows how things began to
take shape in the masses being fooled into thinking the RCC is the
Harlot found in the book of Revelation.

I was taught in a
round about way that all the Denominations (except one of course)
that came out of the RCC will one day (end times) join back up with
her. This article simply shows history and the RCC probably has
always had some doctrinal issues yet they are not as we have been
lead to believe.

Not to many Christians know the story of St
Damien of Molokai a man that went to the leaper Island of Hawaii.
Here is part of the story, "Not without fear and loathing,"
Pope Benedict underlined, "Father Damian made the choice to go
on the island of Molokai in the service of lepers who were there,
abandoned by
all."
http://www.catholic.org/sai...
Not to many people are going to sign up for a mission field that once
you go there you cant leave and you are probably going to die of
leprosy.

We fail to understand that wherever the name of Christ Jesus
is preached and or the most simple gospel message of Christ dying for
sinners was buried for 3 days and rose again on the third.
People can get saved. We fail to realize us people that have
been blessed to be in Churches where the Bible is taught in a most
serious fashion are the ones that have been given the most "talents"
it is us that more is required.

I think this is all spot on

The guy writing this is a Catholic apologist. Catholicism isn't Christian at all, very biblical. we are to confess to Christ direct as our High priest, not go into some confessional where a Mortal man "forgives you". Only one example of where the Roman Church gets it wrong. Worship of pagan holidays such as X-mas and Easter are also endemic.

So if any man sick, we should not bring in the priests of the church to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord? And the prayer of faith will not save the sick man: and the Lord will not raise him up? And if he be in sins, they shall NOT be forgiven him? And confessing these sins one to another will not save us?

And to whom the disciple priests forgive God doesn't forgive and it is not done in the person of Christ?

Is that what you are saying?

And John the Baptist had NO authority to forgive sins? They were baptized by him in the river Jordan and they were NOT confessing their sins?

Wow I never knew that Veritas. Are you sent from God to teach?

And Christ NEVER gave the keys of the kingdom of heaven to his disciples? Whatever they bound on earth was not bound in heaven, and whatever they loosed on earth shall NOT be loosed in heaven?

We never knew that.

What else can you teach us?

So as the Father has sent Jesus, even so He send His disciples and when Jesus said “Receive the Holy Spirit" He never said "If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained”?????

Thanks for clarifying what God really said Veritas. We never knew until you showed up.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

May we humbly ask: are you the One or should we await another?

You are correct, mortal man can forgive sins, the inquisition never took place, indulgences weren't sold, crusades didn't happen and in Christ's name no less, which didn't happen. The Pope takes the name holy father, that's cool though because in Catholicism you can pretty much make it up as you go along. I'll take the bible as my guide thank you very much. Jesus Christ is our High Priest in heaven, answering the enemy's accusations day and night. Not Father Joe the child molesting priest from the local Parrish.

Likewise bounding spirits isn't tantamount to forgiving sins. Do you realy believe what you write? Or just a shill for the Vatican?

The Vatican is the most satanic institution in the world, bar none. That Cube in Mecca is highly Satanic as well. There has been rampant speculation that Rome created Islam.

Cat got your tongue Walid? you aiming for "purgatory"? You are a simpleton and a Roman apologist, a mere mouthpiece, have a nice day!

Political Israel is not synonymous with the 12 Tribes of antiquity, I agree Jesus as a name is problematic, the letter J not being used back then. Yeshua is the name I usually use.

I likewise concur regarding these pagan holidays, Saturnalia coming up.

Sorry but Roman Catholics are idolaters who worship a false Christ. Their Christ can't save directly. He requires the "believers" save themselves through constant obedience to the church.

Do you have your references or sources coming from the official teaching of the Catholic Church which indicate Catholics worship idols? Your personal opinion may have no bearing whatsoever on doctrinal truth...

"A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion." Proverbs 18:2

Yes that is true

Ephesians 2 tells us we are saved by faith and not by anything we could ever do. The Roman Catholic Church tells us we are saved through obedience to the Pope. See the Unum Sanctum if this sounds strange to you. Two different churches. Two roads to salvation. One true as laid out by Paul, the Lord, and his Apostles. The other a manifestation of the old pagan Roman heresies.

Shame on the Shoebats for not having the courage to read something and point this out.

Yup, sad day indeed when I come to Shoebat.com in hopes of reading articles based on truth and sound doctrine and instead Im confroted with the fact that they have given themselves over to defending the Catholic Church. What a disappointment! I cant believe this is happening.

unless and until the pope in his infallibility incl. islam and pagan false gods and joseph smith in the catalog of objects of veneration and obedience, to obey the umum sanctum involves obeying Jesus as Lord and Savior, the only One Whose Blood paid for our sins, rose from the dead, will come back, and so forth. The pope is his deputy on earth (or according to another view, all bishops are Christ's deputies). So if you can look past the pomp and splendor and stop look at him who points to Jesus and look at Jesus either because the Bible says to, or because the pope says to do so, and all the assorted multitude of Catholic whatnot are mnemonic devices to aid this. However it is possible for a means to become an end in itself.

Sola Fide(Faith Alone) one of the tenet of protestantism which is nowhere in the scripture..Faith Alone is a man made doctrine....

James 2:23-24Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE)

23 and the scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness”; and he was called the friend of God. 24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.....read Ephesian 2 in context...here: 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up with him, and made us sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God— 9 not because of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.......it's "Sola Gracia" or Grace Alone, not Faith Alone...we are not save by mere faith alone,

James 2:24-26Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE)

24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 And in the same way was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead.....Is St. James clearly understood that justification involved our participation or obedience of faith..

Thank you for this Albertuz. I also saw your comments on Lepanto. I love that battle.

Catholic Bibles are edited to proof text Catholic Doctrine. Note that they have replaced 'repent' with 'do penance'.
Then put down the Catechism and read the Bible for yourself. Taking some one else's word for it is how the ignorant stay ignorant.

*24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. * - This is an example of taking a verse out of context. Read the whole passage and you'll see this: 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. The man here is talking about what faith looks like to the human eye not salvation in and of itself by any means. Shame on you and anyone who is unlearned enough to approve of what you've said.

I am not a scholar. I don't even pretend to be. I am open minded enough to allow myself to be enlightened and not have my "head set", yet I have several questions that come to mind. One big one being why is it that the Catholic Church is a mixture of cult beliefs all over the world in acceptance and practice such as Haiti? Please explain how the Catholic Church TEACHES followers to practice beliefs that are totally contrary to The WORD of God in so many areas to list that I see no point in listing them all, I am sure you must know what all they are. When was the Catholic church not corrupt and totally un-scriptural in many,many practices?

I do not believe this article is written in any way at all to
defend the false teachings of the RCC. There are many out there in
today's world that would benefit from reading this. Those that are
caught up in the Hebrew Roots movement for starters. What happens is

There are so many who commented here who have so many misconception of what the Catholic Church is, here particularly those who uses scriptures or the bible but quite ignorant enough of church history on who collected and compile the sacred writings into the Canon of the Scriptures...remember folks, christianity was already more than four hundred years old without any new testament canon...how did it survive and how did the faith propagated by the early christians? Did you ever wonder how the Bible came into being? A little known, but easily documented fact is that the books of the Bible were compiled by the Catholic Church. For many years after Christ ascended into Heaven, there was debate about which scriptural writings were inspired by God. The canon of Scripture (the books of the Bible) was first formally decided at the Synod of Rome in 382. This decision was upheld at the Councils of Hippo (393) and Carthage (397). and were ratified at the Second Council of Nicaea 787, Council of Florence 1440, and Council of Trent 1525-46 . These were infallibly proclaimed by the Catholic Church.At these Catholic Church councils, the same 46 Old Testament and 27 New Testament books that appear in today’s Catholic Bibles were declared to be inspired by God. As a side note, approximately 1200 years after this decision was made, Martin Luther and the Protestant reformers removed 7 books from the Old Testament. As a result, most Protestant Bibles are still missing these 7 books. He tried to removed Hebrew, Jude, James, Revelation but stop by his fellow reformers….It would be a strange thing if GOD had given us an infallible book without first giving us an infallible interpreter for it.(Catholic Magisterium)…. Check the book Where We Got the Bible, Our Debt to the Catholic Church by Rev. Henry G Graham, by Tan Book publishers. Glory to God in the Highest!

"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths. As for you, always be steady, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry." - Second Letter of St. Paul to St. Timothy 4:3-5

Hippo, Lepanto, duetrocanonical 7 books ... your a learned man. Thats good Albetruz. You have a faith that cannot be easily shaken.

Can anyone help? I have 3 post on this thread yet can only see one. I seem to have been wasting lot of time.
Bill

Actually no one is saved by faith (trust).
Yeshua said, Matisyahu/Mathew 5:17-18 Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah (Law) or the Prophets I did not come to destroy but complete. Yes indeed! I tell you not until heaven and earth pass away, not so much as a yud or stroke will pass from Torah------ not until everything that must happen has happened.
Yirmeyahu 6:16-19 Here is what Adonai says: Stand at the crossroads and look ask about the ancient paths (Torah) take it you will find rest for your souls, but they said we will not take it.
I appointed Sentinels to direct them listen for the sound of the Shofar, but they said we will not listen.
So hear you nations, know you assembly what there is against these people; hear O earth I am going to bring total disaster against these people.
It is the consequence of their own way
Of thinking for they pay no attention to my words,
And as for my Torah they have rejected it.
Matisyahu/Mathew 7:21-23 Not everyone who says L-rd, L-rd! Shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven only those who do what my Father who is in heaven wants (Torah). On the Day many people will say to me L-rd, L-rd! Didn't we expel demons in your name? Didn't we prophesy in your name? Didn't we perform many miracles in your name? Then I will tell them to their faces I NEVER KNEW YOU GET AWAY FROM ME YOU WORKERS OF LAWLESSNESS. Lawlessness are those not keeping Torah there are 613 mitzvah in Torah this includes all of Adonai's Feast Days, the true Shabbat Day sunset Friday till sunset Saturday and the Book came from heaven Moshe went into heaven to obtain the book. It is not even a religion it is a relationship with the Creator.
Only Adonai can make people saints not the pope not anyone.
D'Varim 6 Sh'ma Hear O Israel the L-rd Our G-d the L-rd is One. Adonai is not a trinity he is One.
Yeshua came to bring sinners and the Lost Sheep of The House of Yisrael back to Torah.
This is what separates the sheep from goats!
Also all canonized within the Ethiopian Bible (Moshe's wife was an Ethiopian) are the Books 1&2 of Adam and Eve, The Ancient Books of Enoch, Book of Jubilees and the Books of Yasher). Might want to read this rather than add your untrue words to B'resheet about the old men of world renown.
And yes I do know what I am talking.
The statement Yeshua made concerning never let the left hand know what the right hand is doing is Kabbalah.
Everything Yeshua quoted is from BavliTalmud like I said he is a Jew from the tritribe of Y'hudah.

(Eph 2:8-9) For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

"The Gospel is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes." Romans, chapter 1

"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." Titus, chapter 1.

" For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe."
1 Corinthians, chapter 1.

Nonsense, the Holy Bible is abundantly clear you are saved by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The reference to heretical groups seems interesting. Some Christians, especially in America seem to think that the Albigenses (Cathars) of Medieval France were true Bible believers but an examination of some of their beliefs reveals parallels with Gnostic ideas, which is not to condone what the Catholic church did to them.

Whatever the case is, the Church celebrates Easter (rooted in a false god) when Jesus fulfilled Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits and Pentecost on the exact days of these Feasts. Each one very specific in what Christ was going to do for the Jews AND Gentiles both. I don't understand why Christians would decide to celebrate Christs achievements for the world on pagan holidays as apposed to the actual days they occurred. I have not heard all these accounts of the Catholic Church but I do know that Mount Sinia is in Arabia (Jebel al Lawz) as the Bible says and not in the sinai peninsula as Constantine's mother has noted.
Just a side note, if Christ fulfilled the first 4 feast of the Lord on the exact day, would He not do the same on the last 3 feasts? Further more check out 1 Kings 8:10-11 (feast of Tabernacles) and compare to Revelation 15:5-8. The last 3 feast are all in Revelation, you just have know about them to see them. I have learned a lot from Mr. Shoebat about the end times and what the Bible has to say about it, but one thing is lacking, that is the Feasts are prophetical. Not just for the Jews but also for the Gentiles also.

* celebrates ON Easter

Excellent work Theodore! "Any kingdom divided against itself
will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall". Luke 11:17.

I see Protestants (modern Christians included) as rebellious teenagers who have ran away from home and left their parents. I do not understand people who claim to be Christian who say we must "honor father and mother" yet themselves do not honor their 'spiritual' parents like the Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church. I do not say we must move back in with our parents necessarily; for example: become either Catholic or Eastern Orthodox, but at a minimum we should not speak ill of them or judge them. No parent is perfect and if all children left home when in disagreement with their parents I dare say all children would be homeless. I have felt the Holy Spirit (I believe) leading me to research and investigate "Early Christianity" and the "Apostolic Faith". I agree with you that what is passing for Christianity today is a circus.

This was a very informative, I've shared it with some others. Well done!

Okay, Lot many queries but no answers from the writer Theodore himself. Yet, I will ask one more question. If Constantine did not incorporate the pagan rituals into the churches during his time and nor did he celebrate the Christian important days to be celebrated along with the pagan holidays then who did it and when was it done after the reign of Constantine? Certainly the rituals became full of pomp and show during Constantin's time which was never taught by the Apostles.The Catholic Church does have certain pagan customs you see, as worship of a Mother, which actually the Apostles never taught. Even Paul had warned that even if an angel should teach another doctrine other than what the Apostles taught, the followers of Christ should reject it.

I feel bad I spread lies about Constantine. But by that time, the chruch already was doing some things that are misunderstood.

for instance as pointed out the holy communion.

Debunking holy communion, Eucharist, and Lord’s Supper ceremony

About holy communion, it has roots in the last supper, or passover
Seder the night before Jesus was arrested. Jesus is talking
symbolically, what leavened bread means versus unleavened. Like the
passover holiday for Jews, they eat matzoh not only because the ancient
Israelites did not have time to bake it, but also because they want to
be reminded not to mix sinful habits with righteous ones. So of course
both Jews and Catholics do not understand the meaning, and many
Christians do not get it either. And the wine part, Jews drip drops of
wine for the plagues, and they drink 4 cups of wine. But the blood is
symbolic too, Christ’s blood covers our sin symbolically, because of the
blood sacrifices needed to atone for sin were not complete until he
finally gave His life. So I hope you understand what it means and Jesus
was teaching what it means, not telling us to eat wafers and drink wine
thinking we are taking His body and Blood. Jesus is unleavened which
means not sinful. And his blood covers our sins.

Also I wonder if by this time people stopped understanding the Holy Ghost baptizes and not the water. Read Acts 1:5, 11:16 and 19:1-5!

Thank you for your thoughtful post. I enjoy being educated in areas where my knowledge and understanding fall short :)

The obvious conclusion from history is, the original RCC were true and correct, but eventually through the years became heretical to the point where it is today. Much like the children of Israel who started to worship idols alongside the ONE and ONLY Living God of the Bible, The Father of Creation.

Absolutely pathetic article because it confuses the reader to think the so called Christian Church equals salvation and it does not and even worse is that it equates the Catholic Church with Christian.
There is only one way to get your sins forgiven and to have eternal life and it is God's way not the way of man's traditions, doctrines and opinions.
Most who claim to be Christian and all Catholics are lost.
