I am may not agree with RC Sproul in certain things. But I have several of his books. Never did I ever see him call slang names for other Christians. You like to go to his ministry. He would never use “ Christ Cracker” ever. I think he is very Christian acting person. Just amazing you continue.

Yeah. Why we will just let the dark side flow? “ Christ crackers” I have real Christian acting friends who are not Catholic yet never met one proclaim your statements. I have never met christians like you until I came to this religion forum. Let the love flow? Astonishing. Yet lets continue with the nonsense? Yikes.

I do not believe I used a capital C when I used the term "christ crackers" because I do not believe they are Christ and they are crackers ( a replacement for matzo ) ...

Waiting for an answer on if that is your churches "tabernacle "

They are not crackers.

They are correctly called “hosts.”

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host)
"Host (biology), an organism harboring another organism or organisms on or in itself"

That is the origin of how that term came into being by Rome.. christ harbored in the cracker

There is no "organism" or thing in or on it.. so it is a cracker

Most all false religions and cults honor/venerate/worship a female entity idol....in history and today....here's simply one of the Hindus, one of thousands in their faith. ....I think possible this female idol may be one of the "comman intersts" that will assist in uniting the religions under one umbrella where there will be freedom to 'call her' whatever ones faith has determined.

No, Jesus is not the Ark. Jesus is the Word of God. The Word of God was placed in the ark. Jesus is *in* the Ark. Just as the Word of God was in the Ark of the Covenant, Jesus was in Mary’s womb. The tabernacles that hold Jesus in Catholic Churches are not Mary. When speaking of Mary as the Ark, Catholics refer to Christ in her womb.

So it was MARY that went before them in battle in ancient times.. and it will be MARY going before Israel in coming battles foretold of by the prophets... And it is MARY who is imbued with the very power of YHWH, striking armies down dead, and it is MARY they will look upon - she whom they have pierced...

How completely and utterly absurd.

Sure what you said was absurd. Unfortunately that’s not how the Catholic Church perceives it.

Then they need to go read the front of the Book.

So you’re saying that what you wrote is in the front of the Book? What you wrote had nothing to do with the front of the Book. You took what you thought the Catholic Church teaches and assigned your own interpretation of it...which is false.

Yes, it certainly IS there - not attributable to your goddess of course - Every attribute and aspect of the Ark of the Covenant points directly to Yeshua, or Yeshua AS the 'Angel of the Lord', or as Yeshua's throne. The mariology thus associated is nothing but rank blasphemy.

The catholics who hold to the Mary cultish worship are not going to change their position regardless of the evidence of this ritualistic practice. I truly believe for most the only thing that can change how they see this false representation of the Mary of the Bible is by and through a desire to know Christ. For many it’s just easier to pray to or through Mary because there’s no conviction or at best a false one if at all.

...."The Koran devotes an entire chapter to Mary"...

However she is not the Mary of the Bible as written 'their' mary is tweaked to reflect the teachings of Islam....as catholics have tweaked her to fit the catholic teachings.

Interesting is in catholicism how often the Islamic Half moon is depicted with the catholic mary.

Noted here:

Muslims see catholic nuns dress and the habjab as the same as the mary often depicted wearing one in artist depictions of Mary...so it will be a smooth transition when the religions come together under one umbrella.

You didn’t go far enough.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucharist_in_the_Catholic_Church

Consecrated hosts are kept in a tabernacle after Mass, so that the Blessed Sacrament can be brought to the sick and dying outside the time of Mass

As you interpret it. The Ark was the dwelling place for God. The Ark was not God. Likewise, Mary was the dwelling place for God until He was born. Mary was not God (or a goddess).

Have a nice weekend.

I know. This particular blasphemy offends me greatly. It isn't the motive so much as the corruption of the image.
