Going along the idea that God just knows why do we go to mass or why is that a requirement for so many religions? It seems to me it's unnecessary because one should always love and be in communication with God all the time. Being a Catholic they say you go because you're receiving the Eucharist and that's the way of showing your love for God and thanking God for giving us Jesus.

I always wonder as well why did Jesus have to die to forgive our sins? I don't understand why that had to happen. Was it God's way of showing us that God cared so much for us that Jesus was a reverse sacrifice (of sorts). You sacrifice for me now I will sacrifice for you.

It's my understanding that partaking in communion, the imbibing of the consecrated holy eucharist and blood of Christ is pretty much the pinnacle of sacrements; viz, Christ is literally present in the eucharist and blood (wine) as you take him into your being at the moment of communion. Once the host is fully in your belly the real presence is no longer in the bread and or wine.

That's why you can't take the host home and eat it later.

Why did Christ die for us? As humans we're incapable of being sinnless and loving as God loves us. Jesus died for us to restore the love between the weak and sinful human and God. God in the form of the man Jesus, loves perfectly, therefore atones for our sins.

It's why the jews hate Christians because we are the chosen not jews.

It's tough because the Catholic church makes things so difficult because of all the annoying pageantry involved. It'd be amazing if there was a church that would just embrace the bread and wine as the body and blood without all the wizardry add ons.

Jesus loved us so much that he died for us. I do wonder what else we could have learned from him over the years of he waited 10 more to do this.

Maybe I'll see if I can find a service that I can watch online. I know it's not the same but I am curious.

I'm happy with my relationship with God to be honest. But how are other folks living with God perks my curiosity

A lot of fellows on here helped me look differently at things and I appreciate that more than I can express.

100%. Makes me wonder so often: what would we have done if Jesus came to the earth today? Would he have been lauded and followed adoringly or would he have been routed and murdered like the David Koreshes of the world (for example).

I suspect the latter. Especially now under global zionist jew occupation.
