The Catholic's Eucharist. Say goodnight Dick
Nov 3, 2009 2:15 PM

Is the Catholic's Eucharist (service) pleasing to God?
God just might have liked it the very first time he saw it.
Rather pleasant and sweet.
But then you see the same mindless ritual repeated the next day and the next and the next?
Ad infinitum.
Very very boring to God, much less to you.
Silly silly repetitions, like watching automatic robots build a car.
One billion times in a row.
At the sacrifice of teaching people something in a sermon.
The 5 and 10 minute sermons of the Catholic mass are awe inspiring.
Not.
The whole thing is just a yawning waste of time for everyone involved.
People really need to attend a loud, inspiring, blood pounding Protestant service.
With a nice 30 to 40 minute sermon.
Where you actually have time to learn a thing or two.
A Catholic service is a complete waste of your time.
You leave not knowing even one whit more about God.
A yawn fest.
Say goodnight Dick.
Wake me up when it is over.

With a nice 45 minute sermon.
Of the same passages over and over and over....ahahahahaha.
Talk about repetitious....I already know what the scripture readings and the homily will be about on Christmas Day and Easter, etc.
How many times do you need to hear them before the message sinks in? Maybe Protestants are deaf???

If you think that's something I know what Mark and Awoon are going to post before they post it.

The bible is over a thousand pages.
The teaching sermon could be based on any one of them.
You actually can learn something.
Gain insights about God.
What do you gain be watching the same mindless and near meaningless repetitive rituals?
Repeated over and over
Day in and day out.
The same thing year after year
Decade after decade.
Tiny little contrite sermons with very little teaching.
A total waste of your time.
With virtually no teaching and what it does teach you is dead wrong and contrary to the bible in most cases.
The mindless rituals only effectively function to serve is to act a a type of subconscious "time clock" in the unfortunate Catholic's mind,
"OK, thirty five minutes until I get to leave, now fifteen minutes until I get to leave, now only five minutes left, hip hip hooray!, etc".
You gain not one whit of anything by attending a Catholic service.
A waste of time.

Unless you really know what's going on.
You obviously don't.
BTW, Metatron, how does the 'Word" come to those who are physically or mentally incapable of receiving it?
Is your 'god' discriminatory????

Don't go after protestants just because Mark claims to be one. We protestants don't claim him. BTW, I have never sat through a 45 minute sermon in church. My father on the other hand....

There is only the one God.
Why would you think that a Catholic service be any better received by handicapped people than a Protestant service?
God's problem with the Catholic service is that it teaches virtually nothing.
A tiny little sermon with most of the time wasted by things like slowly folding napkins, holding offerings in the air (for God to bite on I guess) or performing mindless repetitive rituals which mean nothing and contribute nothing to anybody.
Everyone moving so slowly, it looks like the movie Night of the Living Dead.
How ironic is that?
And appropriate.

Ah because Jesus instituted the Eucharist for everyone, including the physically or mentally handicapped that can not comprehend the Word of God.
Your god of the 'Word only' discriminates against handicapped people.
God's problem with the Catholic service is that it teaches virtually nothing.
You're there to worship. You want to learn, try RCIA classes.

And there's what you don't understand. The Mass is a Jewish todah that was commanded by Jesus at the Last Supper. Everyone attending Mass unites their prayers and sacrifices with the perfect sacrifice of Jesus and offers them up to the Father.
Kairotic time.......an amazing concept understood by first century man and totally misunderstood by Protestants.

A church service should teach people something.
It should focus on educating people as to the ways and to the thoughts of God.
You should leave each church service better off than when you entered it.
You should be somewhat improved each and every time that you attend church.
Not exactly the same as when you started.
Like you did not even go to church at all.
Like you just flushed and hour and a half for no reason.
The Catholic's mindless rituals are just like the way pagans worship.
Why don't they just stick pins in dolls or sacrifice chickens?
Catholicism is closer to voodoo than to Christianity.

Well, I guess Jesus was a true pagan then...cause He did a Jewish todah at the Last Supper and commanded His disciples to continue to do it.
And that's what the Catholic Church continues to do, every second of every day. Anybody else have you 'covered' like that???

He told them to conduct Communion.
You know the wine and the wafer of bread offering.
Protestant churches all do that ritual also.
Funny how they still have enough time left to do a solid teaching sermon.
How come the Catholic "church" does not?
Your "Jesus said to just do all mindless rituals excuse" does not hold any water I am afraid.

Nope.
Sorry.
Protestants fail miserably at that.
They wouldn't know a proper Jewish todah from pleather pants.

I already showed you were wrong on your other thread.
"The sodden drunkard who caused the Protestant Reformation"
Starting a new thread in hopes no one would read the previous one was not very clever but then you have never showed yourself to be clever.

You also said your god wants folks to praise him for just about every little thing. With the Billions(not sure how many Jews, Christians, and Muslims, total) of people on this planet(and any others he\she\it may have presented him\her\it's self), wouldn't it get a little repetitive after a while? Even with everybody trying to make up a new individual prayer each time? And only being able to pray about the one thing?

Why did God create humans in the first place?
For camaraderie and friendship.
After all there are no other Gods available to pal around with.
Just the one.
Lonely business.
Solution?
Make copies of himself.
But not wind up dogs.
Real Gods, hold the supernatural powers.
God does not want you rearranging the mountain ranges.
He has them just the way he wants them.
Thank you very much.
Now he has some buds.
That is if they acknowledge him and try to build a friendship with him.
There is a problem however.
He is God, the big banana.
If he opens the door of his heart too much it could get broken.
Love is a dangerous business.
So you have to kind of "prove yourself".
You have to go through a tribulation to become a "prophet of God".
One who speaks to him casually.
Like two friends just talking.
God is looking for real buds.
Who will not break his heart.
