Considering that we have no clue were the last supper was held … pick a spot, any spot … build a religious shrine and move on. Sheese!
That's pretty much it. After all, we walk by faith, not by site.... :)
Amen!
****... the Cenaculum, the Latin term for the room where the Last Supper was held.****
I believe the 10th Roman Legion took care of that two thousand years ago when they completely destroyed Jerusalem.
“...not by site”. Good one!!
I seem to recall Jesus saying His kingdom was not of this world.
NOW you're talkin'!
Jews and Christians will get along once Obama becomes President.
"That's pretty much it. After all, we walk by faith, not by site.... :)"Unfortunately, for many, site is a prerequisite to faith.
Don’t forget the gift shop!
I suspect there is some valid reasons and evidence that it is the correct site. Regardless, if the church says it is the site of the last supper, then the jews should not violate that space anymore than we would violate one of their shrines.
I wasn't aware that site had mattered to Thomas. It did to the woman at the well, though. That's when Jesus told her that it really didn't matter at all. :)
Exactly.
Well then let them destroy your church. Your comments are out of line.
There isn't a sight I went to that somebody didn't say “they think it was”, but.......
No, my comments are not out of line. Jesus also said that He would build his church and the gates of Hell would not prevail against it. I don’t think He was talking about a building or any other earthly place. “My church” is not a building.
I called a square dance last evening in a building that once was used for worship and it obviously was built for that originally. It has been used as a community center for the past 60+ years. Nobody was protesting.
Jesus didn’t eat his last supper with his Apostles at your converted dance hall. According to you we should not have churches, museums, national monuments. If you can twist the Bible’s words to fit your anti-Catholic bias you need to look at yourself. Am sure it would not bother you to have the Mount of Olives and Calvary bulldozed to build condos. You are shortsighted and void of values.

I am a Catholic and obviously a Christian but, if my faith starts exhibiting the worst qualities of islam, I am totally prepared to embrace agnosticism...
You should have become an agnostic long ago then because either the Jews or Moslems have been trying to take over the sacred sites for centuries. Have a wonderful life without God in you life???
