This great longing in our hearts before Communion is only filled when it meets Jesus longing for us when we receive Him in the Eucharist. When those two longings meet, there is a gladness which is Eternal and can not be described. The Joy that comes from this Gladness goes far beyond any...

Jesus came to us in His humanity so that we could share in His Divinity. In the Eucharist we are divinised to share in God’s immortality, Christ’s Flesh and Blood gives Eternal Life to our flesh and blood. “ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has Eternal Life and I will raise him up on...

So you don’t have to love others or do the things Jesus commanded?

But what you haven’t answered is what you mean by “ Faith “. For Catholics saving Faith is more than just intellectual assent, it is faith acting through love, it must be acted out to be real, not just something you believe in your head.

Yes. Jesus declared it so. Because Jesus said it. Jesus words are reality. This is when Jesus first poured out His blood and handed over His Body to men. Jesus passion began at the Last Supper. Before this no one could harm Him. Because Jesus did drink wine. But what He gave to the...

Well, you could try just believing intellectually and not loving others. Baptists will say ‘ Believing on or in Jesus ‘ and not clarify exactly what that entails. They get evasive not wanting to admit that their understanding of saving faith is just intellectual assent. Dead faith. Or not...

What? What do you mean by “ Faith “ mate? Is it just the intellectual assent in your head, but doesn’t extend to loving others and doing what Jesus commanded?

Ok it sounds like an intellectual faith in the head only. Don’t have to love others or do what Jesus commands. “Just believe in your head and you are saved” Am I right?

What do you mean by “ Faith “ ? That’s all I’m asking. Can you answer that and then I could answer what that hypothetical Catholic Priest might say.

He would ask you to qualify what you mean by “ faith alone “. He would be trained to know what the general Protestant definition is. No, I’m questioning you on what you mean by Faith. Is it just intellectual assent, something you believe in your head or does Faith extend to also loving...

No you would avoid his questions as you did mine, Is Faith just in your head like “ I believe in Jesus and His complete work on the cross for my salvation, I don’t need to love others or carry out Jesus commands for my salvation “

He might ask you a question or two like: What do you mean by Faith? Is it just intellectual assent, like merely intellectually believing Jesus? Or “ I believe in Jesus and that belief extends to loving others and doing what Jesus commanded” Is your faith in Jesus just an intellectual...

The chief weapon of the dark is discouragement and despair, don’t believe it. The battle ground is your mind, recognise it.

You have been through a lot mate, and it sounds bad. I don’t know how you got through it all. If you don’t mind, I’ll keep praying for you if that’s ok.?

You are assigning shallow motivations for the most part. This not my experience of EWTN coverts or Jerry’s account either, they often reference scriptural reasons for their conversion. Jerry was referring to the Bible a number of times in the video. Maybe you should re watch it. He was...

Do you believe he became Catholic because he sincerely believes Catholicism to be true, or was it just an ambitious career move on his part?

I see the news with many disasters, fires, floods, murders, suicides and many ask Where is God in all this.? Then I see the news reporter the next day; saying “A massive outpouring of generosity, volunteers and community spirit is bringing hope and comfort to the victims, this has only...

Am I detecting dismissive veiled barbs here Dave? Ambitious, career is best served. You think his conversion is an ambitious career move? Could you assign higher motives to him Dave or is that the extent of your generosity for the man?

Commemorative but not just commemorative such that it renders the Eucharistic elements merely symbolic, no. Scripture doesn’t give you that. Rememberance in the paschal sense is far more than commemoration in modern times. When Jews gather at Passover, it is not another Passover commemoration...

When did He promise us that no one would die in our lives. He didn’t. He is real, try again in prayer and pain. First thing in the morning 10 Our Fathers, and humbly surrender your will to His. Then be attentive.
