I think it's pretty cool! We could be affecting people by our answers. We might even change a life.

I think that when Jesus broke bread and gave it to his disciples it didn't turn into a part of his body and I think the wine He poured remained wine. I think that transubstantiation is one of the early mystical heresies that sprang up as the other side of the gnostic heresy that claimed that Jesus was only a spirit because matter is evil and only spirit is good.
The Devil always brings errors in pairs so that if a man is offended by one extreme he will be more easily led to the other extreme.

Well organized and informative.
A bit much at this late hour for me.
Interesting that transubstantiation is something to be divided over. Real flesh and real blood has always been a bit of a queasy subject for me. I got sick watching a dog castration once, imagine what I would do if a medallion of liver and a pint of Hemoglobin were passed around for consecration. Hoo Boi.

I had a brief look at it. I don't think that the notion of transsubstantiation is correct as they say!
If you want to see the other side of this issue, have a look at the book by Drummond called "The Hundred Verses". It is a book that examines what they teach from the Bible and shows why there are problems with what they teach.

I find it disturbing that it would promote nothing more than divine canabolism.
communion is supposed to be symbolic.
I find it hard to believe God would forgive sins by letting people eat parts of him. Seems an odd way of doing so. Course he is God so he can do it any way he wants, but I believe a perfect God would make it as easy as possible and still allow a choice...
Hence.. To be forgiven.. we ask for it.

Very informative! I believe that communion is a statement of
our commitment to Christ. And it is scared, in the fact that we acknowledge What Christ Jesus did for us! He died on the cross
for our sins, and is the only one who can forgive us of our sins.
Jesus is the one true way to heaven, not man. No ONE! But Jesus! When we ask Jesus to forgive us our sins, we are to become anew in Christ! And follow him ONLY!

I think it is more specifically for catholic christians. Did you create it? It seems well organized but the content is not pertinent to my faith at this time. :)

From the surface it appears to be a Catholic website.
Ummm....no comment.
