Question

who are catholics kneeling to when they kneel/bow...?

why do catholics think that their religion is in fact superior when their religion is based upon faith.. faith can NOT be proven, but still "THERE REGLION IS THE ONE TRUE CATHOLIC APOSTOLIC"? bold claim for what their claiming it on...(faith).

Answer 1

Jesus himself was bold. We are told to be bold, to BOAST in the Lord. When we kneel we are kneeling to Jesus "At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, every tongue confess him, King of Glory now" The Lord God sent the Manna from Heaven to the Jews in the desert as a symbol of what would come and even Jesus says "I am the bread that comes down from Heaven, anyone who eats this bread will live forever and the bread that I shall give is my flesh given for the life of the world" and again "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood shall have life and have it more abundantly, if you do not eat of my flesh and drink of my blood you shall not have life within you". I have never ate a liver taco in my life. The thing that most people do not understand is Jesus is not like this world's food. In this world we eat food and it becomes a part of us but with Jesus , we become a part of him. He is alive in Heaven and we are present at the Heavenly banquet with him and the Saints and all the angels at every Mass. It is awesome. The thing is is that everybody can be there if they wanted to. They don't have to be jealous because of what is given to us Catholics. the invitation is to everyone. I am sure at the end of time when Jesus comes back in Glory the other denominations who have been asleep believing in Jesus will be raised again but, the Catholics don't have to wait. We are there already!!

Answer 2

I'll admit that I'm a non-believer now, but I used to be a Catholic so I'll attempt to answer your questions.
No. 1 They're not that stupid. They know it's a bread wafer that represents the body of Christ.
No.2 They can pray to anyone. Take your pick.
No. 3 I never heard of a liver taco in my very long life. If it's eaten by anyone it's probably only those of Spanish background, but I doubt even that.
No, 4 All religious people really believe that their religion is the best, or the only true religion. If they thought otherwise, they would switch over to the one they thought was better. now, again they'll think their new one is the best.
Now let me ask you a question. Why does it matter to you ? If you follow some other belief, fine- - live and let live.

Answer 3

Allow me to enlighten you.

Catholic believe that the consecrated Eucharist (bread) is the body and blood of Jesus Christ, because they believe what Jesus tells them, "This (bread) is my body, and taking the cup, this is my blood. The blood of the new covenant.."

When a Catholic kneels and bows he faces the altar where the Eucharist is kept.

Surely you are joking. Catholics have no tradition of eating liver tacos. Never have.

Catholics think that their religion is superior because it was handed down from Jesus to the apostles, to the bishops, to the current bishops.. Altogether a line of succession that has been unbroken for 2000 years. By comparision, Protestants are less than 500 years old. Other faiths, Muslims, Buddhists, etc. are founded by people, Christianity alone has a savior, who is the Son of God.

Answer 4

Everybody thinks their religion is the one true faith. In reality we're all probably 10% correct about whatever we're teaching; the ten percent pertaining to love and forgiveness.

We kneel and bow to God (respect)

Transubstantiation (the bread and wine changes into the blood and body of Christ) is more symbolic than anything. There's a lot of symbolism in Catholicism

And I can't say that I've ever had a liver taco...lol

Answer 5

Actually, the Host is not a body, it is bread that symbolizes christ and is suffused with His divine essence.

The kneel to God, and only Him.

Liver tacos? that's pure bulldrek and you know it as well as any catholic.

And they think their religion is better than others because they believe they got the right one. I don't know your position, but I bet you do the same, or you would not be so stupidly smug.

Answer 6

hmmmm Dear better read, research and learn, since u know so many things about the CAtholic FAith it means, u know the answers to your questions, read the CAthechism of the Catholic Church, since its useless to explain to one who is not interested to learn, but just to use it to attack, and for what?? will it make this a peaceful site and world to learn about Religions, No dear. AND about the liver tacos????? forgive me but this is plain stupidity, anyone who wants to eat them can eat them, what has that got to do with religion???

Answer 7

St. Peter was our first pope, that Jesus elected. Jesus said that the bread is His body, and we are to break bread and drink wine(blood) in remembrance of Him. We kneel before God and everything in Heaven. We trust oral traditions. Liver tacos? You are wrong about that, it's spleen tacos....silly!

Answer 8

If God says "This is my Body." Then it is.

God.

I've never heard of that.

The Catholic and Orthodox churches were founded by God, particularly the Roman Catholic, founded on the "rock" Peter.

Answer 9

it was a symbol of love that jesus showed us. food is unique to all life and shareing food with others shows that we care for them

catholic church is a humane organisation that helps millions of poor people in the 3rd world. if not for the catholics all these poor kids will perish

jesus said those who help others will be called his brothers and sisters

Answer 10

Hmmmm. I never had a liver taco....but I'll take a shot at the first one, there, Sport...

"Because Jesus said "This is My Body"?
