It would be very self-contradictory for Roman Catholics to say that born again Christians play down the Lord's supper, they claim that participation in the sacraments is part of maintaining salvation. But it would be time to think about how Roman Catholics are already condemning themselves when they claim that transubstantiation is real. The doctrine says that even if the bread and wine still taste like bread and wine, still look like it but the substance has become the literal body and blood of Jesus. The Roman Catholics insist that you must participate in the sacraments to attain eternal life. But there's the problem behind their argument. If you participate in the Roman Catholic Sunday Mass then you can see the cup has been forbidden from the laity. They misquote 1 Corinthians 11:27 to say that they don't need to partake of the wine because it says "or". But if you put it into context, you can read these instructions in 1 Corinthians 11:23-27 which says you e...

There's some Roman Catholic apologists that claim born again Christians supposedly reject the sacraments. First, let's define sacrament. This is what Theopedia has to say as the definition of the word sacrament: A sacrament is a rite or ceremony instituted by Jesus, and observed by the church as a means of or visible sign of grace. The English word sacrament is from the Latin sacramentum, which means to make holy, or to consecrate.  Sacraments are ceremonial in nature , which separates them from other things that Jesus instructed believers to do (e.g. "go and make disciples of all nations," Matthew 28:18). The claim that born again Christians reject the sacraments is very unfounded as the claim that sacraments save the soul of the person. No, Roman Catholic priests don't save anyone's souls because they themselves need saving. The issue is not about sacraments but what the Roman Catholic institution teaches about sacraments. There's a big differ...

As a former Roman Catholic, I had trouble adjusting to the fact that the Lord's Supper was performed in the evening. As a Catholic, communion was distributed all day as long as a Mass concluded, it was even distributed to in the morning, afternoon and evening. I want to draw a line between the Roman Catholic Mass and the Lord's Supper. I want to present a difference in the practices of how the Roman Catholic mass is different from the Lord's Supper. Roman Catholic Mass The Roman Catholic Mass is supposedly a continuous, unbloody sacrifice for sins. When the priest offers the bread, he says, "My brothers and sisters, let us pray that this sacrifice may be made holy and acceptable.". That is, the Roman Catholic belief of the Mass is focused on offering the Mass for the forgiveness of sins because their salvation is by faith and works. That is rather than faith that produces good works, it is relying on both which is a contradiction to Romans 11:6. The very d...

1 Corinthians 11:27-30 - "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. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep." At first glance, it seems that unworthy here is for the unsaved. Actually no. This is talking about the Christian attitude towards the Lord's supper that it must not be taken lightly even if Christians cannot lose their salvation because it's once a believer, always a believer (1 John 2:19). However this can actually refer to these things: The Greek used for "unworthy" here is AXIOUS meaning disrespectful and irreverent. In the dictionary, it can also mean as "inappropriate for one's condi...
