How ridiculous it is then when people ask, “Do I have an obligation to go to Mass on Sunday?”

Better tell them yes if you "buy" RC theology.. not going is a "mortal sin" and they will log to hell if they do not

Law/ Law? Law/....Works /works works

Jesus died in vain on Friday and raised to life today in vain

1 Cor 15:1-4...Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Go read up a bit before making fools of oneself. This is an early Church tradition BEFORE the books in the Bible were authoritatively assembled by the Catholic Church as part of infallible Petrine authority as the TRUE written word of God. There were so many things Christ said and did that were NOT written: John 21: 25.

Even Christ kept the old Jewish Sabbath. But now we have the new Sabbath. The first day of the week. Frankly, Bible Christians need to stop displaying their shallowness by tossing out s snippets of scripture. Perhaps, it will help to go ask those pre-eminent Lutheran and Episcopal theologians who after a lifetime of study, teaching, and preaching converted to Catholicism and where for example Fr.. Richard Neuhaus, America’s
foremost Lutheran theologian who wrote he found the “fullest expression Christ in the Catholic Church.”!!!! He is the founder of “First Things.” (But then again, these intellectual publications are beyond the ken of shallow Bible Christians)

Shallow Bible Christians will spend vapid and empty Easters with so-called “Sunrise Services” on the beach with picnic basket and dog in tow, Without the Eucharist all this is pure useless feel good stuff. Better to take a warm shower and you’d feel much better.
