Catch Fire Take The True Ride
I challenge any of you to view this YT program. But first I ask you a very deep question would Jesus start a discipleship of 12 Men. Who wholeheartedly disciple’s pupils, students, or learners and hold fast to the teachings of Jesus. And all except one dieded as martyrs. Not only does a disciple follow, but also is additionally active in spreading the doctrines of Jesus. Knowingly not get anything correct for 1500 years after Jesus’s resurrection? Until finally a former Augustinian Catholic friar “Martin Luther“ the seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation. Finnely questions the Church and sets it strait. He nailed his '95 Theses' to a church door in 1517, sparking the Protestant Reformation... To now have that broken in to about 30-40,000 different Christian faiths in the last 500 years. These include mega-groups like Roman Catholic and Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran, Reformed, Baptists, Pentecostals, Amish, Quakers, Adventists, Messianic, Independent, Communal, and Non-Denominational, and even Mormons. If Jesus is/was really truly God how would this really have happen at all? I don’t believe it could be possible at all. Here is the Program: Explaining the Faith - Catholicism 101: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xffVEOOaIA If you refuse to see this you will miss out on a great program that can change your thinking a bit.
The word "Catholic" (Greek: katholikos, universal) The term, in its primitive and non-ecclesiastical sense of universal, occurs in the Greek classics, and was freely used by the earlier Christian writers. The combination, "the Catholic Church," is found for the first time in the Letter of Saint Ignatius to the Smyrneans, written about the year 110. The words run: "Wheresoever the bishop shall appear, there let the people be, even as where Jesus may be, there is the universal (catholic) Church." The term continues to be found with ever-increasing frequency, in its technical sense, from this time forward; until by the 3rd century it was the commonly accepted formal title of the true Church, in contradistinction to all heretical or schismatic groups." (Acts 11:26-28 KJ 26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch).
Who was Saint Ignatius?
"If we include St. Peter, Ignatius was the third Bishop of Antioch and the immediate successor of Evodius (Eusebius, "Hist. Eccl.", II, iii, 22). Theodoret ("Dial. Immutab.", I, iv, 33a, Paris, 1642) is the authority for the statement that St. Peter appointed Ignatius to the See of Antioch. St. John Chrysostom lays special emphasis on the honor conferred upon the martyr in receiving his episcopal consecration at the hands of the Apostles themselves ("Hom. in St. Ig.", IV. 587). Natalis Alexander quotes Theodoret to the same effect (III, xii, art. xvi, p. 53)." See this found in (Acts 11:26-28). "The martyred Bishop of Antioch constitutes a most important link between the Apostles and the Fathers of the early Church. Receiving from the Apostles themselves, whose auditor he was, not only the substance of revelation, but also their own inspired interpretation of it; dwelling, as it were, at the very fountain-head of Gospel truth, his testimony must necessarily carry with it the greatest weight and demand the most serious consideration." How interesting that Christian and Catholic come both are from Antioch.
The Bible tells us that in the last days there shall come scoffers and false prophets; wolves in sheep’s clothing. 2 Pet 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers Mt 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Matthew 7:15, Acts 20:29, 1 John 4:1, Matthew 10:16, 1 Peter 5:8, Matthew 7:16, Romans 16:17-18. This is not just Symbolic bread.
Matthew 26:26-28 ,John 6:53-54, Luke 22:18-20 ,1 Corinthians 11:27-29. Do we recall what happened in the year 1517? For all Catholics, the Holy Eucharist and Catholic Mass is considered the most important and highest form of prayer. In fact, attending Mass is an obligation, under penalty of mortal sin, each Sunday and on certain other Holy Days of Obligation. Transubstantiation – the idea that during Mass, the bread and wine used for Communion become the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ. Jesus truly present in the Holy Eucharist.

I am trying to live as if I might die in the next hour although it is not an easy task. I try to put Jesus first in my life and hope all else will fall in to place. We are here just a short moment not many live to be hundred. Have I lived in anyone else's shoes? No I have not. So how can I ever understand why other people do what they do. I should leave the past behind.Forgive mistakes of others and my self. Be who you are but work to be a better person each day. Just imagine if I did not exist at all. I would never have something to ever complain about or feel joy from. To be human is the powerful spark of God's creativity that I am alive. Every day is life’s special event and life it self is the great expedition. Don’t miss any of the beautiful magical miracles in this gift of life. If you are reading this you have that spark of life in you right now. Life is simply an ever changing experience and it is never perfect but full of adventures. Each day will be full of unfamiliar things to discover. I would like to be filled with gratitude that I do exist. My own uniqueness with vulnerable emotions to smile, laugh or cry. With an abundance of life and endless possibilities. Conversations I do have between the mirror and myself as I ponder my reflection in the mirror. Thinking how I was created in the likeness of God Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Seems so unlikely but this miracle belongs to me. Everything that happens is absolutely incomprehensible. With God’s own breath here we are conscious beautiful and everlasting beings. Lets thank God for Making us. Lets thank God for blessing us. Lets thank God for intelligence. Lets thank God for knowledge, family, friends, love and compassion. Lets thank God for producing something out of nothing that I may have a soul. Lets thank God that He is willing to love me even in my imperfections. As I am still a work in progress and have far to grow. In loving God. Open me Jesus to forgive any one that hurts me physically or emotionally. Give to any one that be my enemies the love I cannot find within my own self to day. Send them blessings and healing even while they may hurt me. Christ open me to see and love every one as if they are JESUS Him self. I am a truth seeker. I don’t go around looking to hate people. I run around trying to find reasons to believe in people and trust people. I put Many hours of prayer into finding the truth about many things. As I hope every one will do.
But I fall and keep trying to move forward against the great river of sins of this life. We humans keep making mistakes. Oddly thinking the next generation will not repeat old mistakes. When they to are human. I find faith accountability and responsibility in my self is a slow work in progress over my life time. I need Jesus to carry me as I am absent in my life a lot. I pray God bless’s you greatly and always. Please always recall Jesus was persecuted before we have been in our times. He will be back for us who love him one day. Only slowly do we get better over time. Forgiveness and reconciliation do have a place in this world we need to take part in that. So I pray to be an instrument of GOD'S peace to every one that I ever have conflict or contact with in life. May I be Christ to others that might never have know of Him be for. Not for how I behave or that I have any thing I do right. But that they will see Christ shine in me. Open me and them Lord to forgive any one that hurts me physically or emotionally. Give to any one that be my enemies the love I can't find in my own self to day. Send them blessings, grace and healing even when they hurt me or kill me. May Christ open me to see and love every one as if they are JESUS Him self.
All are lives come from God and have infinite value with God forever. Let's help each other grow in faith and pray for each other. Please Lord Jesus bless all that read this post help them heal and find you standing next to them one day to see forever your great glory. Jesus I trust in you.
For Catholics, the presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist is not just symbolic, it’s really Jesus.
