Why would you assume that? The Baptist Church I was a member of had Sunday School class every week before the service and bible studies which I did participate in. And since I’ve become Catholic, I read the Bible every day, hear it proclaimed every Sunday and also participate in a Thursday night Bible study.
Why would a person who has eternal life want to join a group that does not have eternal life???
Again, would you assume that? Is this an infallible pronouncement by Pope Iscool?
Jesus was very clear when he stated “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.’
I have this in the Catholic Church. In addition, it’s not a symbolic meal, it’s the body, blood soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. Do you have it in yours?
All I can say is that if your name was written in the Book of Life, you'd know it was there...
Paul warned that claiming a victory before the race is over is foolish. I continue the race with a hopeful confidence. All the while working out my salvation with fear and trembling. That’s the message of the gospel.
No, but I got the water...
Joh 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
Joh 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
I got a jug in my refrigerator and I get a glass everyday...
I don't need to eat the flesh and drink the blood...Just a cool sip of water gives me eternal life...
