No user of this forum, in my opinion, should raise provocative questions so as to elicit inflammatory answers from the believers in any one religion which is sacred to them.

This has been brought up here often as a negative thing, in the context that "everyone should be allowed to partake of the Lord's Supper", implying that the Church is unreasonably exclusionary and the policy is un-Christian.

There are solid Scriptural reasons for it (and for that matter not all Catholics are automatically allowed to receive), but I'd like to see if those who claim to be offended by this actually know what those reasons are.

This is not a "baiting" rhetorical question. I am truly interested in discovering why this is an issue.

Since I don't begrudge anyone two points, and it's pointless to try to restrict answers to a certain group anyway, I would ask my fellow Catholics to identify themselves as such. I hope to give the points for "best" to a non-Catholic who actually has accurate information. Or at least comes close -- with or without quoting the Bible.

is religion more a custom than a way of life. most the the world is religious but yet the world is so screwed up.how come we dont practice what we preach. stuff like all men are created equally, we should give to the poor,and treat others like we treat ourselves.

Is jesus & God the same person? And when praying, do you pray to God in the name of Jesus or just bypass God & go straight to Jesus? Can you pray to God without mentioning Jesus? or pray to Jesus without mentioning God? How does it work?

I always had a heavy heart for completed Jews. My parents taught me that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a Jew to know God. They told me how when a Jew turns his life over to Jesus his family disowns him and they loose contact. So when a Jew becomes a completed Jew and stops wondering loss in the desert it is a really joyous and special occasion. God bless the completed Jews who have been wondering in the desert for centuries trying to find their God soon to realize that the Jesus their ancestors put to death, who arose from the dead and ascended into Heaven is God.

Do you believe it is an abomination before the Lord and immoral. I'm curious just what people think about this.

Did your god NOT need the blood of Christ to "make"everything okay?

I had Christians tell me in my last posting that their god never liked blood offerings and didn't need blood.

The bible if read will tell you otherwise......why don't christians read there bible?

Its because I read the bible I'm not christian!!
Its sick!!

He is in sixth week of training and is suffering terribly from shin splints. He is afraid he can't run the 8 meter tomorrow and will wash out. We need your prayers for a miracle to happen and that he will be well by morning and complete the run in good time. Bless you all.

What is your excuse for being a sinner?
Do you think it's funny? Do you think it's a joke?
You're going to have a lot of explaining to do to God. I can only pray for your soul. You need to accpept Jesus into your heart. All sins are equal in the eyes of the Lord.

some answerers here, actually most, seem to be avoiding the question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Anerw6fTJ4p5jWumBjtFO8Xsy6IX?qid=20070812182112AA0Pofx

WHY? are they really incapable of answering a very simple question? why is it that their answers are repetitive? where's the thinking mind among those answerers who avoided to answer the question?

(only very few have answered it)

NOTE: no rude answers.

and to atheists, please don't answer because you don't believe in what Christians believe, this question is not for you.

I've always believed in God but never went to church. I just got back from a Christian camp and learned a lot. My perspective changed as I learned more and more. I felt like I truly accepted Jesus and stuff then. But when I got home it was different. I told my mom how much I learned and everything and she's like, "well, I don't know. I believe in Jesus, but I'm not sure I believe he's the son of God" etc. And I really wanted to make religion somewhat a part of my life but I'm not sure how and it feels weird to be kinda more, like, religion-y than my own mom. ??????????? just say stuff that'll help :)

I'm an atheistic catholic by the way... In that, I think the catholic church is a wonderful institution and it does great things in the community, especially in helping families in times of bereavement. I plan to bring up my (future) kids as catholics, as I feel that it's an important part of an irish childhood, and furthermore, the teachings of the church are as good a moral compass as any, and they are a good point of reference....

It's just the whole God part I've the problem with, as in, not believing in one.

How are you going to explain to God that you rejected Him even though He revealed Himself to you?
Whos is going to forgive you for you sins? Who is going to cleanse you of your sins, who is your savior?
Jesus is the only savior. If you reject Jesus, then you have no chance before God.
