Oops. Just saw that you posted the author. I just ordered it.

Checked amazon.it for the english version here. English is my mother tongue and I just can't retain what I read in Italian. So is this it? I think so.... (no sub-title The Church in the Wilderness)

This must be why I just can't seem to figure him out! :ummm:

As you know Auntie Jane,,,I'm not going to debate this with you for pages on end. Here's the deal: YOU do not get to decide or make up what it means to be Christian. This was already done 2 thousand years ago by the church that was first Christian and those that came after and got GNOSTICISM...

First of all, JWs are not Christian because they don't believe in the Trinity/Godhead and they don't believe in the hypostatic union. As to Catholicism vs Protestantism there are some very basic differences: 1. Catholics believe the communion host turns into the body and blood of Jesus. 2...

Are we in the CATHOLIC FORUM? No. I checked. Do you know what a cult is Dan Clarkson? Apparently not. If it were not for the CC, YOU would not be on this forum because Christianity would not exist. Jesus said the gates of hell would not prevail over His church. Do you THINK Protestants were...

According to @Dan Clarkston .... NOBODY can be trusted. We're on our own folks!

See Auntie Jane.... You know that I believe YOU should not have the title CHRISTIAN under your avatar. And I thank you for confirming this and agreeing with me... You stated above: JW'S REJECT ALL THE TEACHINGS OF CHRISTENDOM. So then WHY do you insist on being called a CHRISTIAN...whose...

Please see my post 205. I've been through all of this QT. I don't think I can hear anything new.... (but you could try).

I went to a Lutheran service many years ago. The Pastor did notice I was new and did ask if I believed in Jesus before giving me communion. I replied yes and it was OK. This is not done in the CC. The priest has to assume you know what you're doing. He could deny communion to someone but it...

This is pretty much what I've done. I do believe that communion is more than just something we do in a community type of way. Jesus was very specific about HIM being the flesh that is to be eaten and HIS blood to be drunk. When a lot of the disciples left because IT IS A DIFFICULT SAYING...

I've been thinking about this for years now. It seems to me that it has to be more than symbolic. Honestly, I couldn't really make a case for the transubstantiation... my mind is still Protestant. But let me read the following...everything helps. I'm interested in HOW Jesus clarifies the...

The aim of a hedonist is to think only about themselves and how to have a good time. How is turning the host into the Body and Blood of Christ hedonistic when it's JESUS that said to do this? It has nothing to do with me... and nothing that could be considered having a good time by a hedonist is...

There's a church about 15 minutes south of my town. As you must know...the hosts are kept in the Tabernacle. They are consecrated. Some get stolen for satanic rituals...yes, even in Italy. I was at a bible study with a monk (a small group which has been dissolved since Covid) and I asked the...

When John Paul was dying,,,Italy got constant updates. Not so for this Pope. Of course, all the talk is about what happened with Zelenski on Friday and the meeting with the dreaded EU tomorrow. Maybe it'll crash and burn.....
