I wanted to become a Catholic. But first I had to give up the Eucharist and porn

You were so precocious!

Actually, my conversion from liberalism came much later. I use the age 14 in that dialog to emphasize the immaturity of liberal thinking.

[Mrs. Don-o]

You’re a honey, Yaelle.

I think this young Jacob fellow is quite courageous. I’d like to know him better.

And you, too.

[Salvation]

Thank you.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I seem to have gone from juvinility to senility without passing through maturity...

[Mrs. Don-o]

I just saw this.

Thanks.

[Yaelle]

<3 I love when we are agreeing! If I weren’t Jewish I’d be Catholic for sure.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Same thing switched around back atcha.

[BlackVeil]

Yes, my path in life was like yours.

Also, I became very disillusioned by the way that feminist groups were so full of hatred. These women are always spiteful to each other. It comes from an interior unhappiness.

[Mrs. Don-o]

You are so right. The interpersonal nastiness amongst feminists is so repellent.

I wish, too, that we could see more loving (or at least respectful) attitudes here at FR.

I'm hoping for a charitable and reasonable discussion based on this young man's spiritual and moral insights. He's changed. And I think that's a sign he's having a true encounter with Christ.

"Another Christ." The pitiful poor man with a "burning desire for the body and blood of Christ" as well as lust for seeing female flesh, is delusional. Nowhere in the the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (showing how they understood the OT and gospels) is Scripture), Acts-Rev., do we see the Lord's supper described as spiritual food, and with the focus being on consumption of it as so, as the preeminent and central activity of the church, nor being for individual consumption.

Instead, the only manifest descriptions of the Lord's supper in Acts thr Revelation (besides Jude 1:12 below) is 1 Corinthians 10+11. Which teaches that the Lord's supper is to be an effectual communal remembrance of and thus a declaration/proclamation of the Lord's death, (1 Corinthians 11:26) by which He purchased the church, (Acts 20:28) which declares this by sharing bread and wine with each other as bought saints bought by Christ's sinless shed blood.

Who are to show remembrance of the Lord's death by manifesting fellowship with Christ and each other thru this communal sharing of a actual meal, like as pagans manifest fellowship with their object of worship and each other in their dedicatory feasts. (1 Corinthians 10:15-23)

Thus to eat independent of each others, ignoring and thus shaming those who have not, is to "not eat the Lord's supper," and which was the sin and cause of judgment in 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 (see here ), that of not effectually recognizing the body of Christ, which theme of unity continues into the next chapter.

Likewise, to take part in pagan religious feasts as well as sanction Christian communion to anyone is also to incur judgment, by signifying fellowship with those who are not of God, and are contrary to Him, and in the case of Christian communion it is defiling what is to be a holy declarative communion with Christ and each other who are bought with His blood. To take part in the Lord's supper while being or acting contrary to those for whom Christ died is to "come together unto condemnation."

But if the congregation is told before hand what this supper is about, which thus requires manifest regeneration and treating others as blood-bought saints (both in positive affirmation as well as needed correction) then if some presume to be partakers their blood is on their own hands.

Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. (1 Corinthians 11:17)

When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. (1 Corinthians 11:20-22)

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. (1 Corinthians 11:26-27)

Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come. (1 Corinthians 11:33-34)

These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
