  1. I find that music helps the day breeze by easier. Forums have always been a great help too, but to be honest it can some times turn nasty. I'm registered to about six forums, Islamic, Jewish, Catholic, christian, satanic and LDS. I've been on them for a while now and I've sort of learned not to put any emotion into my posting, be it possitive emotion or negative. It's best not to do either. I've found that forums have made me change the way I am with people, it isn't good. I let my self down on this thread however. I try not to engage with anyone too much. I try not to share personal information either. I just love Christ, His word, His Father and all His teachings that have survived throughout all of these terrible years. Forums are enough for me, friendship aside, the discussion is more enough for me.
  2. Did you ever have reoccuring nightmres or dreams in your past? I was just speaking to a friend in Norweh, he was telling me that he use to have the same dreams over and over again. He now gets panic attacks and has those same visions about a wolf. It's a bit much for me to repeat but more or less he said that it is definately the same animal from his dreams when he was a kid. Ever since I was younger there have been about three locations in my dreams that I keep going back to, but nothing bad happens.
  3. This sounds terrible Daenvgiell, I also had a church like this once. I use to go to a church where I slowly but steadly just ended up feeling like nothing more than a shadow. I feel so angry at the ministers because they were so loving and caring at first, there was nothing they would not do to aid me. But I went through some bad stages which I wont elaborate on, and I noticed that everyone was drifting away from me. I went to this church for years and I first became a christian there. I feel so angry and yet so upset that they just cut themselves off from me. They ignored my text, my calls, my emails. I even had the ministers registered on facebook and they blanked me there also. I miss the community, I miss the connections, the bible studies, the extended worship after sunday service, the tours we did annually. I have lost so much, I am so angry with them and yet I would do anything to have them back in my life again. I just go to work every day, come back and "hey presto", I'm alone again. My colleages are far from friendly either. They act like yobs you'd meet on streets corners. I know what it is like to be alone. But you sound so much more upset than I am. I will keep you in my prayers, that you might find happiness again.
  4. Sometimes all you have to do is loose faith in one thing and then everthing else will just fall out of place too. You just need to figure out what put that first thought into your head. Where did it start and why? If you can indicate in your mind where this all began then maybe you could be able to realise why your faith suddenly died. Depression can cause this. Do you suffer from depression or stress? They can often leave you feeling like the "spirit has left you". Just remember that faith lost is love lost. Ending your faith in God gives you no possitive reward. Christ once said "knock, and the door will be opened to you. Ask, and yee shall receive".
  5. The host becomes the body of Christ whether you believe it or not, no faith is required. You cannot prove the existance of God just as I cannot prove the transformation of the Eucharist, and yet both are fact. Transubstantiation is not physically logical, nor is the existance of a God.
  6. Your belief in the existance of a God cannot be scientifically explained. We are both on the same boat John Doe.
  7. They do not believe in transubstantiation. I can see the problem here. The Orthodox have this concept of "mystery". They generally don't like to define things. If you ask them how or why the Eucharist is the body of Christ, or when does it become the body of Christ, they might not give you an answer. They will just say, "It is the body of Christ." Whereas, in the Catholic church, with the guidance of the Spirit we actually reveal these mysteries. Transubstantiation is one such doctrine. It explains as to "what happens" when the priest says the words of consecration. The Orthodox don't delve into these matters. They would just say, "It is the body of Christ." So they might not accept the doctrine of Transubstantiation but they do believe that the Eucharist is the body and blood of Christ and so are permitted to receive the Eucharist.
  8. Sorry Connie, I'm on about four other forums so I tend to end up bouncing back and forth. I completely forgot about you.
  9. Catholic priest are not suppose to, but yes, they do. They will give it to those whom they are worried about. It's not uncommon. Communion can be given instantly to anyone, if there is concern for that person, and this does not have to be death. The point is this, even if someone does not believe in the transformation of the Eucharist, it can be given to them anyway such as with the people of the orthodox church. Wikipedia is not a reliable source for information. The orthodox church themselves do not believe that they are consuming the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ.
  10. Say whatever you please, fear not the remarks of others.
  11. I said that the Eucharist *should* be unleavened. I never said it was a requirement. Within certain conditions. Anyone who takes part in communion unworthily will eat their way to damnation. A Catholic priest may also give the host to a visiting protestant. The orthodox church does not believe in the transformation of the Eucharist. They are not consuming the body of christ nor do they themselves believe that they are.
