What is the main difference between Catholic and Protestant beliefs about the Holy Communion?
Catholics see the Scriptures written about the Eucharist as literal teaching by Jesus and have interpreted Jesus’ words as literal since before the NT Scriptures were written as recorded in Scripture. Catholics find no reason to interpret Jesus’ teaching to be anything but literal from a hermeneutical, historical or theological perspective.
Some Protestants, on the other hand, are very much like the proto-Protestants who were former disciples and left Jesus after His teaching in John 6, about the commandment to eat His Body and drink His Blood. They remain in the carnal sense and deny the miracle of the Eucharist. They believe that instead of being present at the one sacrifice of Christ, that what Jesus instituted is a symbolic ordinance instead.
So, what we are speaking of is two totally different practices. The first identical to what the apostles taught and put into practice which is the real presence and the second a modernist interpretation of a man Ulrich Zwingli which is a symbolic ordinance. The first is actually Christ on the Cross where the worshippers are at the foot of the cross; the second is just a remembering of what Christ did as recorded in the Bible. When a Catholic Christian remembers Christ’s sacrifice it is from being there, when a Protestant remembers Christ’s sacrifice it is recalling what is written in Scriptures about the event. Certainly, one should be able to understand the level of passion one would have after being at the foot of the cross compared to the level of one just remembering what is written in a book. So even though some do not take it lightly, even though they do not believe, it cannot be the same passion for an exercise or ordinance in supposed obedience, as the Protestant act can be described; to the Catholic practice of being present with the living corporeal Christ at the cross and eating His real body and Blood as He commanded.
It must be noted for understanding that for many of the Reformers that this approach by Zwingli was necessary to give some credibility to the new Protestant movement which denied the successive apostolic leadership of the Church established by Christ. These reformers knew full well that they had no true legitimacy and no authority from Christ. They also knew that without a legitimate episcopacy that they could not continue Holy Orders, the Sacraments nor do they have the authority to confect the Eucharist which authority can only be given by Christ through the Church. Therefore, they could not continue the Eucharist even if they desired without a valid priesthood.
So, I am not saying that I do not believe that Protestant communion service is not special or a sign of unity but it is to me a sign of unity for a false, heretical belief outside of historical, Traditional and orthodox Christianity and is a doctrine of men warned about in the Gospels.
(Mat 15:7 DRB) Hypocrites, well hath Isaias prophesied of you, saying:(Mat 15:8 DRB) This people honoureth me with their lips: but their heart is far from me.(Mat 15:9 DRB) And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men.
(Mar 7:5 DRB) And the Pharisees and scribes asked him: Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but they eat bread with common hands?
(Mar 7:6 DRB) But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
(Mar 7:7 DRB) And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men.
(Mar 7:8 DRB) For leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the washing of pots and of cups: and many other things you do like to these.(Mar 7:9 DRB) And he said to them: Well do you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.
(Luk 6:46 DRB) And why call you me, Lord, Lord; and do not the things which I say?

Where was Jesus for 18 years? Missing in Bible Part 1/2
I have a question about the bible as to when Jesus first began his ministry?
I'm searching for the interpretation of the bible example like different types of prophecies located in the bible and when Jesus started his ministry.
I'm not sure what you are asking, but the Bible is full of prophecies from Genesis to Revelation. Jesus started His ministry when He was 30 and was crucified when He was 33. There are prophecy Bibles by several ministers that specialize in prophecy. Try google .
cross men Are men who denigrate and hate women, such as here, secretly homosexual or cross dressers?
Yes, perhaps that is the issue. Perhaps they wish to be the epitomy of the macho male but really are gay or have strong desire to cross dress. They hate this part of themselves so much, they inflict the hate on women, so they can go on with the pretense. So sisters, when you see the hateful questions and messages here, think oh there is a closeting gay man or cross dresser who probably is just jealous of us women! Then go on loving your powerful woman self, while he continues to wallow in his own self hatred which will ultimately destroy him in the end. So women (and intelligent men and who don't hate women) what do you think about this?
Lee: Why you actually think? The answer to your question is easy, NO!

Cross Dressing Men - What Does It Take For A Man To Pass As A Genetic Female?
I'm basically curious about the psychological angle to male cross dressing and how a man desires the 'need' to transform himself into a woman, both temporarily and genetically. Only serious answers please as I'm really interested in knowing more. Any cross dressing links, sites, etc. would also be helpful.
It starts with cross dressing clothes and a man having a markedly feminine gait. Men who have female-oriented bodies or a fetish for female things (clothes, boots, hair, makeup) cross dress to gain both emotional and physical pleasure from this transformation.
It's also about comfort as some men are known to feel more relaxed in the clothes of their wives or girlfriends.
There's the other side as well, like becoming a drag queen or turning into a 'ladyboy' (as they do in Thailand). It can be as simple as wanting to explore transexual boundaries over the weekend, or a way to genetically become the other sex because they feel they were always meant to be this way.
