My Response To Grow Up

The following was made by Grow up in faith, which can be found here.  His/Her comments are in red, the blue are quotes from articles, and mine are in black:

Please do not overdo this dear Anonymous! Do you have the blood of Christ circulating in your veins? Really? What you eat or drink goes to your stomach for digestion. This is human biology. 

When we consume the Body of Christ and drink His Blood, it does flow in our veins.  Human biology shows that after the food is digested in the stomach, the food molecules are transported throughout the body via the blood stream.  According to science:

Digested food molecules are absorbed in the small intestine. This means that they pass through the wall of the small intestine and into our bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, the digested food molecules are carried around the body to where they are needed.

Since it is Christ's Body and Blood that we consume during the Eucharist, then it is His Body and Blood that flows in our bloodstream.  

Protestants do have their own churches! Why would they need the Catholic church? Why would they follow the Catholic hierarchy when they have their own? If you ask them they'll tell you all churches are the Body of Christ, because all churches are part of the Universal Church of Jesus Christ. All churches are part of the Kingdom of Jesus. They follow their own church, not ours.  

Christ built only ONE Church.  He did not build 25,000 different Christian churches.  It is only in the Catholic Church that one will find the fullness of truth.  Protestant churches only have part of the truth because they have sacred scripture.  And even with that, seven books from their Bible is missing along with parts of Esther and Daniel. As Catholics, Christ called us to evangelize so that the TRUTH would be known.  Can you imagine how Protestant converts like Tim Staples, Steven Ray, and Scott Hahn felt when they realized the truth?  They cried because they finally came home.  We Catholics are called to bring the Truth to our Christian brothers and sisters so they also can come home.  According to Steven Ray:

Our journey to the ancient Church of the first centuries began by seeing the problems within Protestantism — problems that were incurable. If they would have been corrected it would have become Catholic. Sometimes one has to realize they are very sick before they visit a doctor. Janet and I came to realize over time that something was dreadfully wrong with Protestantism.

Protestant converts like Steven Ray have gone on to evangelize our brothers and sisters in other Christian denominations so they can also come home.  The problem is why can't the so-called "traditional" Catholics do the same?  Do you not want them to know the truth?  Do you not want to help our brothers come home to the Catholic Church....the ONLY Church built by Christ?

Protestants are Christians, just like we Catholics, they are our brothers in Christ even if we disagree on things. Christian is who has faith in Jesus and the Creed. We are followers of Jesus who died on the cross for our sins. Jesus died for both Catholics and Protestant. It is not necessary to convert to be saved. It is our hope that we'll be together with our Protestant brothers in heaven. 

Because they are our brothers in Christ, it is all the more reason why we should have an interfaith dialogue with them.  God is the judge.  Yes, it is our hope that we will be together with our Protestant brothers in Heaven, but that does not excuse us from keeping the truth only to ourselves.  

If you want to lay down your life for your enemy, then please do so and I'll admire you for that. How do you do it? Are you going to the war zone? It is not a requirement for either faith or salvation to get killed. Many saints of the Catholic Church lived a long life without sacrificing their life for someone you may call an enemy.  

Who is your enemy if everybody is your neighbor? 

The enemy is Satan who is the deceiver and father of lies.  He deceived our Christian brothers and continues to deceive them to this day. That is the job of Satan.  The question is....what is your job as the member of the one, holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church?  The Catholic Church is the only true Church built by Christ Himself.  And this is not an arrogant saying.  That is the truth.
