Giant Catholic chip on their shoulder?

I don't know what that means.

You keep shooting arrows at Catholics, but then deny you really do. You're somewhat confusing. Reminds me of the type of tactics middle eastern countries play on much larger scale though.
Why do Christians as yourself continually attack the Catholic Church, when Catholics have respect for other faiths and don't succumb to this.

You say in your experience building on Christ is not taught as such in Sunday mornings.

Again, I question if you were truly a Catholic. We have the Mass, the greatest prayer on earth to God, the Eucharist, the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, whom Christ said and instituted this Holy Sacrament at the Last Supper, to Eat His Body and Drink His Blood in order to have everlasting life, life within you. How could you give up that up? God humbling himself to share Himself, His power within us to strengthened us. Other than the Greek Orthodox no other Church has this. Did you skip that part in the Bible? Christ said to think spiritual, not physical. Even Daniel speaks of the Daily Sacrifice in the last days, what does that mean to you? I could say every time I take Holy Communion I am Born Again! This is not building on Christ???? Or the Sacrament of Confession. It is not man that heals us, But Christ himself. The Great Healer who cleanses us. You say you know scripture why did you miss the part when Christ's first words to his Apostles and Command was to go out and forgive men's sins. We are on the ship and you are in the water. Grab a line so we can pull you in before you sink.

====================

I was defending Mel Gibson as a fellow Christian (because he is one, however imperfect) when Solarstorm showed up with a Catholic chip on his/her shoulder, which I flicked off. You then accused me of saying things I never said, and Naps showed an embarrassing lack of bible knowledge and seemed to indicate he/she felt only Catholics were going to heaven.

The three of you are pretty typical of all Catholics I have ever dealt with, and it started with me defending a Catholic.

1 Corinthians 2:2

2For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

John 17:21

21that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

Romans 15:5-7

5May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, 6so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

You guys need to knock off the Catholic stuff and stick to the Christian stuff. It's all about Jesus.

John 4:23

23Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
