Have Seeker Sensitive Churches Gone TOO Far with Entertainment? | RANT 

yes long time over ten years of this misguieded entetainment, worship with real emotions not zombie mumble jesus , shout JESUS , SHARE MIRACLES FROWNED ON, evrything is fine ahhaha , eyes shut so not interrupt their social life

No you're not being insensitive... when you operate out of immaturity, by default, a person becomes spoiled. When a person becomes spoiled, what happens, just like food, it's becomes rotten. We are not to have itching ears where we are seduced that we allow for strange spirits & unsound doctrine to come in & corrupt the body which has already happened. I don't hear too many leaders talking about being filled with the Holy Spirit, repentance, & deliverance to live the abundant like... to me my friend... those are the keys to not only access the abundant life, but to sustain it also!

Allen what do you think about the Ravi Zacharias assault findings?

LOL with the tongue licking part of the video!! It made me laugh so much.

@dr pizza that’s not him. Some body make a fake profile of him. I don’t think he knows about thou.

Yes !

Good comment

Agreed! I watched him as I grew in my faith but now I’ve transitioned to the meat. I need teachings that go deeper.

Yes. Me too. He was a stepping stone but then I had to move on.

Simple. What Mike Todd teaches is actually Biblically sound but no one should stay in his church because it’s introductory-level.

Great point

Our Arch Bishop Ezekiel Guti always teaches us to LOVE ONE ANOTHER because what makes people stay is the love of God shared amongst us.

Amen! Well said; God bless you, brother!

Beautifully said.

I totally agree

Agreed

Amen.

I agree

Let The Church Say Amen

Yes always stick with it.

You're not alone, there are many who come to Christ and try to differentiate between deception and truth, one thing I will say is always always always turn to the word of God in doubt or trouble minded, the beat is one of a few channels I watch and study along with, also chanels such as "lion of judah" and "aoc network" have been very instrumental for me in coming closer to Christ Jesus.

Amen!!! God Bless Pastor Parr for fighting for the faith and having the courage to expose the fruits of darkness invading the Churches today. May you be mightily blessed and continued to grow in God’s Word in your walk with The Lord dear sister in Christ 🙏🏼✝️🕊❤️

There are many out here deliberately sent to lead the new babes astray. If it don't sit right with your spirit then something ain't right.

Yes. It’s the most vulnerable time as a Christian when you are newly saved but still weak in knowledge in the word. So many teachers can take advantage of your enthusiasm and naïveté to get you to follow them, and ascribe to a false doctrine.

Hahaha only in South Africa

Yeah Pastor Mike’s church does amazing charitable work and spends a lot of money on donations for those in need🙏🏽

Yes they do and often during their year end services they'd explain how much was donated to charity or helping people in the community etc

Michael Todd's church has PAID OFF the mortgages of OTHER CHURCHES. He was mentored by Robert Morris.

@@healingsarereal1 That part 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Transformation church did disaster relief for Tulsa. This man is doing what others are not. If you want to attack someone attack Joyce Myers and T D Jakes

Its also because they don't have the desire to seek the truth for themselves. I know when my church pastor tells a lie.

@@talostheking8529 amen

Amen! Like Jesus said in John 12:32 “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.”

True

Probably the best comment I've read on this video.

This is the result of a loss of the reverence for God. Ecclesiastes 5:1 “Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil

This comment should be pinned. I’m literally so over this comfort Christianity. We are at war and we need to act like it!

Lol soooo judgmental & don’t even realize it. Smh…so sad

So if somebody “ raps “ they cannot be praising the name of Jesus ???

@@justinspires4131 it's not the rapping it's the whole presentation! Too much entertainment and not enough focus on Jesus and the word! Even seasoned Christians struggle with distractions,imagine how this is going to go over with the young in Christ! No talk of hell or repentance for sin!! This is life and death, we shouldn't and cannot take the duty of the church lightly.

I praise the Lord that you listened to Jesus prompting you to read the scriptures for yourself! The Holy Spirit has taught you well and I can’t wait to meet you in heaven soon sister. Keep studying and I pray your church will give you that solid doctrine we all need so much in these end days.

As you mature more & deepen your relationship w/ God. The spirit will speak to you more & guide you. Continue to pray for guidance!! Let the spirit lead.

@@aurorahw7085 Thank you so much your words are really encouraging

You all should consider Confessional Lutheranism!

U made the right decision stop attending that church here is what u can do as u said read the Bible for yourself pray and ask the Lord to find u a Church that teaches the Bible the undiluted work of God and when u know what the work of God says find a church that preach it

Well said. Same here.

Telling the truth in Love!!!

Well said! Amen

This summarises it all for me! I feel the same with Pastor Todd

@@charisgrace7172 sadly yes. Pastor Steven Furtik (I may have spelled his name wrong) I feel the same about. I don’t doubt these man love God. I worry for their congregations though. I worry for these people who are only taking in these inspirational talks and aren’t actually consuming anything other than that sunday service pick me up. Pray for those pastors and their congregations.

If he loves God he would obey Him. He is a lover of self hence therefore he obeys himself.💔🥺

Exactly what happened to me.

That mindset and approach to Pastoring alone is against Scripture but hey folks love to be entertained.

I think sometimes we forget he was once a youth pastor so he’s definitely focused on targeting his audience which is most likely babes in Christ & young adults. He wants more millennials in the church.

@@alyssatorianna yes but more people alone is not enough! We're not winning just by how many people come to church. How many of them are truly learning about Jesus and are they truly being edified because this walk with the Lord,is not an easy one. If you're not being properly prepared, you will be gobbled up!

“Entertainment is the devil’s substitute for joy.” -Leonard Ravenhill

You are so right. .

I was born and raised in a southern Baptist church back in the 80's and 90's, but now as an adult all I find are churches with loud hip hop/rap style Christian music, with pastors who are more theatrical than message driven. I'm with you - I miss the old, straight from the Bible preaching to light a Holy Spirit fire inside - not be merely entertained like I'm at a concert or a circus.

@@robs5252 I think the entertainment is okay to a degree but that should not be the focus. I think if a church wants to to an outreach like concert of praise and worship thats fine but inside the church I want to be invested in God's word. Personally I need the direction so I can improve and grow closer to Jesus. The bible is full of entertaining stories that I believe dont need the extra distractions.

Amen 🙏🏽

@@brandonmack8573 I feel the exact same way, from the initial comment to this reply. Im with you 100%

You can check out Andrew Wommack's messages, I found them to be quite sound teachings. May God continue to guide us in our walk with Him

Exactly!

This 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏So many teenagers and young people who would not have come to know the Lord and would not be serving Him, have come to know Him through transformation church. True servants of God who are Pastors will use props to give better understanding for those who may need visuals to get the message. Those who are false prophets will use props because they are not about saving souls or worshiping God but have others worship them. Once i give my tithe and offering. That is to God.What is done with it is none of my business. I did my part. If a pastor then chooses to use part of that money for what is classed as pleasing in God eyes fantastic. If a pastor chooses to use for what is not pleasing to God then that is between God and the pastor and God will deal with it and them, when and how He choosese is fit without requiring any help from ourselves. Souls are priceless to God PERIOD and there for should be priceless to all of those who claim to be followers of Jesus. If by saving more souls means that genuine God fearing pastors use the Word of God but also use visuals to give souls a better clearer understanding, especially those who are lost, then who are any of us to say this is wrong if in God's eyes it is pleasing to Him. Whether we like it or not the world has evolved and along with it people have evolved too. So more and more resources and new ideas are required many a time to save the souls who are conformed to this world. What would work 50 years ago will not necessarily work now. There are people i know of who no longer listen to reggae, rnb or dancehall secular music because they were introduced to gospel music that had the similar beats but the song was based on God. Those who used to listen and speak profanity who no longer do because most of it they heard through the music they listened to. Then they found christian reggae, rnb, hip hop, pop or dancehall songs with the beat that drew them and they were introduced to Jesus and His love. Do you think this pleases God or do you think God is unpleased because someone took a beat and changed the words for the Glory and Honor of the Almighty. We have teenagers in our family who although we attend services as a family they have grown spiritually with transformation church online, pastor John Jenkins as well as the church we attend. They gain an even better understanding when they have visuals period. Now if that brings them closer to God then others opinions do not matter. People need to be very careful on placing judgement on men of God.That is for God and God alone to do. If what you can see is clearly wicked etc then yes we are to highlight this. In the meantime instead of pointing fingers and having videos of shade to others, we all need to be asking ourselves how many souls we saved and brought to Jesus lately.

I bet you listen to mike todd every day

Hey Nancy. If you watch the video you will find that Allen is not criticising the teaching but the way these illustrations have become more grandiose to such an extent they might distract from the message rather than enforce them. I remember an early sermon from Mike Todd where he used ping pong balls in an analogy of sin; it was simple, effective and served the point. This seems very different and I pray his public success won't detract from his preaching or his walk with God. While the Holy Spirit can give us discernment it does not negate the high standard God has for teachers(James 3). God bless.

How does bringing cars on stage help members understand?

AMEN!!! Because that’s all that matters! I have friends that barely believed in God or “took a break” from religion and now they love watching his sermons, reading the word, growing their relationship with God

I grew up in a very strict traditional church, and personally pastor Todd’s messages helps me understand the word better, and also keeps my attention

Agreed! He knows his audience. He's not preaching to Transformation "World", he's preaching to Transformation Church. What they've done in the past year is more than most churches have done in a lifetime, To God be the Glory!

We will always find something wrong with man.. only God is perfect. But i thank God for men/women of God who are being obedient to God's call on their lives. May we also go deeper by personally cultivating our walk with God with the help of the Holy Spirit

As long as they are truly saved. The danger that has been demonstrated in the past many times is if peoples' faith is more in the pastor than in God, things will go wrong. People who "lost their faith" after their beloved spiritual leader fell likely were rooted more in the faith of the leader than in God. Not in any way saying this describes Michael Todd's church, just saying it is something we need to be very aware of.

Please ignore the comment above mine. That's not the real Allen.

I don't disagree with it but don't think it's something that should be done every church service (don't know if he does) but I've felt iffy about him ever since I seen a clip of him saying you don't need to repent for your sins because Jesus died for them already.

Where did Jesus use illustrations??

@@preciliabuya5456 Matthew 13:34Jesus used illustrations to tell the crowds all these things. He did not tell them anything without illustrating it with a story.

tell em!!!!!!1This man literally uses illustrations and props in most of his sermons to help even those that are far from God to comprehend even much more!!!!!!!! The fact that He literally allows himself to be drenched in water for a whole 1hr 18 minutes just for people to get the word of God and others are here steady calling it entertainment is so annoying.........we all have choices and if you don't agree with what he was doing then why don't you just log yourself out and look for other sermons!!!!!!

Remember as a preacher of th word of God it is not your responsibility to make sure people are sold for Christ. You give them th word from God then u let Him work, going that far gives off th impression that it is solely up to th pastors that young people stay interested and eventually get saved

He should be preaching Jesus return and all that. He just preaches what people wanna hear and not what they need. I haven’t heard him talk bout hell or the seriousness of the gospel. It’s mostly entertainment.

He twists scripture constantly, posted videos of him twerking, and when asked on the breakfast club podcast if he's ever tempted to have sex with other women he replied with "hell yes!" and used the n word

@jack let the dead bury the dead at this point

Sister, does that mean, then, that God failed us? That God failed to reveal Himself to us in a way suitable for all to understand and we need visual teachers to make God known? I understand what you mean, but we can not use teachers as a substitute for Scripture and I fear that Todd has placed himself above the authority of Scripture. Only the Bible is the inerrant Word of God and we must hold firm to the trustworthy truths as taught :) Amen?

@@jack-vr8xp you’re not perfect your damn self stop judging other people the lord can punish for that as woe

yes!!!!

The only churches sugar coating are other mega church pastors or other pastors who are also border line false teachers, he isn’t sugar coating controversial topics - but that doesn’t mean he is teaching the full gospel either, he does it for shock value at best. if you go to a solid Bible teaching church , the community may be smaller, less trendy and less entertaining to the young (because that’s not a requirement of the true gospel) , but they are faithful to teach verse by verse through the whole Bible (not just bits here and there) out of reverence for the LORD. you’ll find those churches: nothing is sugar coated including hell, and - big pet of members are students of the word on their own time more than they rely solely on the pastor for interpretation ( as it should be, because we are to work out our own salvation) If Mike was not sugar coating any part of the full gospel, why doesn’t he ever mention hell? How come he still lives fleshly, instead of telling people he set apart like Bible commands? I listened to him once too and yes he helped me in ways, but he’s only presenting half the gospel and the spirit led me away from him for true conversion. Please watch American Gospel the documentary 1-2 and you’ll see what I mean and why I completely left listening to him. I only say this because I care.

@@ohhithere8055 oh you care so much to call other believers down and exalt yourself above others...look at me ..I'm so pious and so holy...look at us we are doing it right...look at them they are so wrong..."WW" study the scripture..we are so holy...we have all the understanding. Judging..judging...self righteous. Guess what you sound like!? Viper! Instead of encouragement..you curse... instead of lifting up you lift your self up. You expose your self and your lack of fruit. Your pride will be your fall. Probably why you have no joy..no peace...and have to lift your self above others.Seriously..do you demons have any new tricks!? It's getting old. Soon you will see the truth . Unfortunately the ones who are sending others to hell so prideful will be the ones standing before God saying but Lord didn't I do this in your name.....only reason you do it is for pride so you can hold yourself above others. Maybe try coming along someone who has a desire to serve God and disciple......but no! You just can't wait to dam other Christians to hell. Even Jesus had no patience for the religious.

Lori Kriese I think you missed the part where I said I listened to him once too. As in: I’m just like everybody who was listening to him and was deceived myself, until someone showed me he was false (when watching the documentary).. so someone cared enough to tell me and helped me in that way and the spirit (God ) moved to lead me to other pastors. As in the grace of God, and none of this of my own doing. We gain nothing assuming anytime someone tries to correct us they are judging us.Paul even rebuked Peter, another apostle! How much more would be need ourselves to be corrected and humbled when we are in false teaching if even apostles fell prey to it? It seems you read into my message what you wanted it to mean , I can understand that because it’s hard to tell the intent in messages online. but in reality it’s God humbled me to submit to his scriptures . If I was prideful I would have said “no , this is the pastor I like and want to stick with “ even though people had already been warning me he is false. Instead, God made scriptures correct my thinking. I’m coming from a place of having been in the shoes of people who love this pastor and being exactly in the same place thinking what he was doing was all good and biblical. I’m trying to warn people and tell them the same truth someone told me (not to damn them, quite the opposite actually) , the true gospel (not prosperity gospel) saves souls in Christ. In your accusation of me - you are literally the one trying to damn me to hell saying I won’t be standing in front of God with him saying he knew me… that is judging me too, btw. But you are right about one thing: I’m no better at all for any reason, no one is, except Christ our savior and only he can condemn. Besides, the Pharisees were not condemned because they followed the scripture or religion… they were condemned because they added rules to the scriptures .. people calling out false teachers are upholding the scriptures and what they say about false teachers in many chapters.. they are not adding to them like the Pharisees. Jesus upheld scripture highly himself - and came to fulfill the law perfectly . The issue was that the Pharisees where putting laws into place in those time that were not scriptural.

That's the key, we are all in different places, in Life & our faith. If those that need the theatrics stick around, possibly maturity will get them to the point, Like you.

Plus the s*x series also helped me because I haven’t seen one church talking about s*x & how God taught us how to use it. & I like his motto of how we’re striving for progression not perfection. Obviously I’ve moved on, but we shouldn’t judge others based of the appearance

@@MacCurtisHolisticHealthTalk Thanks! That is how I see it...

The question is how is he impacting their lives? If it's just feel good prosperity type of impact, that's not what the body of Christ needs! There's plenty of that but is it truly drawing them nearer to the God of the bible??? Are they truly being edified and understanding him better, so they can better navigate this life?? That's the real question 🤔

I attended an AOG near my house and I thought I was at a rock concert. Deafening! They are trying to use the worlds methods to win the world! Ain’t gonna work! Distasteful and very carnal so no thanks!

Agreed. It is a mockery. And fake.

Lol, that crying part make me cringe.

@StephanieDotDot I can’t listen to him he exaggerates a jk like every 30 secs

😂😂 I thought I was the only one who paid attention to that "what feels to me" as dramatized emotions.

Facts

WORD!

Oh snap! Good discernment

Facts

💯💯 Agree

He is an entertainer not a minister of God’s word. He’s into himself more than he’s into God. Vanity is not a good teaching for children.

Still...saying that he's better than garbage media is a low bar, right?

I'm sure the youths do enjoy it because there's not much meat there. Jesus is not an entertainer, he's the redeemer of our souls, and we need to go deeper into the word which is spiritual and not visual.

Great response!

True

love this!!

Bro, I'd be careful saying what God's perspective is....js

It's tough and that is becoming more common. I respect you for your choice.

No sir. He was being sensational not practical. What's wrong with standing there and opening the book and preaching the Scriptures without theatrics?

I feel Pastor Mike is authentic and I feel the Holy Spirit when he preaches. As long as it’s spirit led GO GO!

@@randybrown1801 Didn't Jesus himself preach using parables which depicted real life scenarios? You call them theatrics because you don't understand application of the Word. God bless you tho.

@@randybrown1801 b/c there are millions of other pastors who do that let us have our one. I'll take my Chances with Gods judgment

@@francenesmith9782 I thought I felt the spirit too until my mom exposed him to me. I fought her tooth and nail, we argued until 2am until I finally was able to see that Mike Todd is not a good pastor. God can use bad pastors to give us milk but eventually we have to get away from them so we can grow fully. I binged watched a lot of his videos and it made me see that every sermon was the same. "You don't have enough faith, that's why you don't have that job." "You ain't acting right that's why God didn't give you a husband yet." "You don't have the right perspective that's why God hasn't moved you." The sermon should not be about me. I am not Abraham making the sacrifice to show God I'm worthy. I am not David slaying the Goliath of my sins. I am not Job forced to deal with suffering. All of those are images of Christ. The entire bible is about Christ. You can't take Mike Todd's Crazy Faith sermons and preach them to christians in China, Nigeria, or India who are having church in underground tunnels. Who are imprisoned, beaten, tortured, killed. Separated from their families. Churches burned down. They want to hear God's words. They want pastors who will break down the bible verse by verse so they can understand the essence and character of God. They don't want a pastor to tell them they don't have enough faith and that's why their life looks the way it does, when they are dying for their faith. If a sermon can be preached to someone being persecuted, that's how you know it's real. Watch Voddie Baucham, Matt Chandler, Francis Chan, Paul Washer. Much better pastors.

Amen and Amen!! 🙏🏼✝️👑❤️

It seems as if the churches are getting away from preaching the gospel and giving members a feel good message. No wonder the churches are under lockdown.

Amen! Please Lord help us!

lol

I get criticism for not "being loving" for calling out false teachers by referring to them as clowns. I feel a bit better knowing a man of the Most High calls them clowns as well.

@@stevenirizarry9427 Spurgeon is not the Most High

Amen sis!!! 🗣🗣

Amen!

And that's the TRUTH

That's just his personality man. That's how God made him

I look for a flaw in his word I haven’t found it yet but I barely watch him tbh. He’s very animated but the message is good.

I agreeeeee

THIS!!!! he’s drawing so much of the youth in. They understand his “too entertaining ways” and get led to Christ. How he has the nerve to judge him like this is beyond me. Says a lot about him

Exactly I’m the same way he’s not for everybody and dancing and playing a trap beat is not secular lol there’s no Holy dance

The problem is the message, not the production. Usually when you put time into a production the message is hurt. These church teach us that God is gonna make your life right. What if he doesn’t, should you stop believing? These people, and I know these kinda people, would say that blessing and prosperity are evidences of God. If that is the case, if you are not getting more prosperous you are at least going to water down Gods place in your life, but statistically, most leave and reject God.

I just pray that they're not falling in love with some unbiblical "Christianity" instead of CHRIST Himself, GOD bless :)

YES. I was beginning to think I was the only one.

That is how it's supposed to be.

But we are also told to have fellowship with our Christian brothers and sister as well and we can’t do that alone. Examples: Hebrews 10:25 and Ecclesiastes 4:9-13. Have a blessed day sisters.

Ah! Shgurr's here!!

@@PipTheBoss I think the Lord has blessed us with being able to fellowship with some people on here ..There are few Pastors these days that I trust to teach us the Word of God ..but Pastor Parris one of these Pastors and I appreciate the ones who follow him ..Some churches aren't as inviting..

I agree, another thing is he isn't afraid to step on toes...

But especially in these end times, there's such a fine line of being misled. People aren't always aware or purposely trying to misleas, but we gotta be aware of these things

Right!!!!

Agreed.

I was wondering why the Pastor Mike Todd video was showed. I don’t see anything wrong with his prop.

For a visual learner, I love the way he helps me understand the lesson that he wants to get across, but I can’t speak for him because I’ve only watched about 3 times and seen a few clips on TikTok

If only the Apostles had known these methods the gospel would have spread faster and more people would have joined the Church

@@JimiSurvivor The Apostles had the best method ever - dependence on the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit knows the hearts that were ripe for salvation. There is a difference between joining the Church and being saved.

I agree...I think Mike Todd's message was very true to the reality of the walk, and his visual example help to drive it home for those who need a little help understanding what he was saying

JimiSurvivor sarcasm right?

He’s spending and awful lot of money though- wearing flashy outfits and spending on props. :/

Well said. 👍+1

Amen 🙏🕊🇸🇪

What? This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

@@bigarch2004 care to explain?

parables and entertainment arent the same thing

Theres a difference between the parables and what Michael did on stage in water with the boat.

You don't need props. Visual learners? Read the Bible. That's the Word of God in visual form.

You’re being insensitive to how people convey the word. What may have worked for you or your ancestors doesn’t work for everyone when that read or hear the word. This is why he uses props to help the word come alive and for it become practical so it can be applied to our lives daily. People probably don’t even watch the series of his sermons but have so much negative stuff to say about it. Pastor Todd has sound doctrine and always talks about the word, faith sin, love, grace. The entire gospel

@@tyracunningham8662 amen

@@tyracunningham8662 but don't need to rely too much on it. I'm not being insensitive. But I think the whole point is if the entertainment supersedes Gospel, then the Gospel would be in vain. Rom. 10:17 - So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. The Biblical standard don't change just to catch up with the norm of this world. It is always the same yesterday today and forever as it is said in the Bible

I’m 24 and I despise the use of props at least the way he and some other pastors use props

And that's the problem we should be following God not man so sad

@@lassondraarmstrong7316 bingo. Ain’t we all following Christ?

They would stone ya to death if you dare talk about their Todd

@Ari E so true

Hocus pocus. You can always sing and dance

@@kaye7066 I'm taking care of the troll problem, Kay. I will report every one I see.

Agreed!!

Oi! THAT'S A FAKE ALLEN PARR! 😯

That's what I was looking for among all these comments and you hit the nail! People easily fall into either extremes. Both sides need to be understood. Creativity in the church is more than welcome, preachers speak and give the sermon in different ways. But it must not outstep its bounds. The focus must be the Word not the senses; to bring glory to God is all that matters.

AMEN!

I believe this time we are in really exposed so many things in the church and society in general. It is like God is “restarting” things.

OMG! That's something I would run away from ASAP! I'm not sure if this was the same church or not??? But I did see some footage of a church doing MJ Thriller. I couldn't believe my eyes!

What a disturbing event that must have been. I can't even picture this in my head.

Good story!

Was at a church with colored lights that went off and on, and singers that were dressed...let's say interestingly. There were small round tables like at a night club. Don't remember the sermon and we Never went back.

That is a shame!!!!

Very True

this is why i stopped going to church

@@angelpaige1500 Hopefully you are at least praying and reading your bible. I do hope you reconsider coming back to a church. I'm a Catholic and I know that is voodoo to a lot of people. But maybe find a more traditional church. I do invite you to visit a Catholic Church. But if that is too much of a stretch for you, there has got to be a solid Bible believing Church somewhere near you. Dont give up on God and church because of the failings of those who try and represent Him. Peace

@@Movinginwisdom If you dont encourage Catholic Praise you then dont encourage the Church that Jesus established for His being praised in. Do study the earliest writings of the earliest Church leaders not just the Bible. The first Christian's did not have the New testament as a form of teaching and preaching from. The earliest Church had to old testament parchments. Individual Books of the law and the Prophets. The Church was born then The new Testament came about. All the Church had in the beginning was the old testament, law, and prophets. The Psalms and in the early Church what you will see if you carefully read the Acts of the apostles and the Letters, you will see they gathered to Worship in the manner of the Last Supper. The Lord gave us a command to eat His Flesh and drink His blood and that we were to do so in memory of Him. It was not symbolic and still today is not symbolic. Jesus Himself said "This is my body" As a bible believer you know that every word of God is true and that God does not lie. I dont want to enter a long debate with you. But we Catholics dont worship Mary. As imitators of Christ we follow His example of Honoring her. There is a difference. One of the problems other faith groups have with us is you are believing what you are told about us from someone who dont themselves understand us Catholics. Rather than inquiring as to our beliefs from a qualified teacher of Catholicism they usually ask a nominal Catholic about things and then receive inaccurate information then they take that bad information and proceed to tell us we Worship Mary. We do ask her to pray for us and we believe there is much evidence to support the effects of her prayers for us. No it isnt in the Bible but Jesus Himself said that He would send the Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth. Thus proving all that is to be known about God has not yet been given. He is still coming to this earth either Himself directly, or His Mother. Just like The Bible says about Paul's receiving His Teachings from the Lord directly. This could only have been in apparitions of the Lord because Saul now Paul never knew Jesus while He was alive. He too only had what Jesus taught him about Jesus. He was schooled in the old testament but His Christian instruction came directly from the Lord after Jesus blinded him on the road to Emmaus. Paul obviously was key in the new testament Writings but they too were not in book form. They came about after Paul had went to the gentiles (mainly) and once he had established churches in those various cities, he would send them "Letters" of instruction to advise and teach them. We read a verse about this in 1 Thessalonians 2 : 15 "Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught whether by word or epistle" (or letter) This is what we call Sacred Tradition. Not the same as the traditions on man. The traditions that Paul would be speaking about would have been based on what Jesus instructed him to teach. Which too first and foremost would have been the very things Jesus did and taught at the last Supper as well as everything else that Paul needed to know about the "Breaking of the bread and the prayers" (as spoken of in scriptures. We consider these times in christianity to be the earliest forms of what we call the Sacred liturgy, or the liturgy of the word and the liturgy of the Eucharist. The liturgy of the word I.E. the Bible. And the liturgy of the Eucharist (the eating and drinking of the body and blood of the Lord) In short the Lords Supper. Which to come to be known in heaven as "The wedding supper of the Lamb". Its a bit tough for me to get this out typing on my phone. But do talk to God about these things. Look into the writings of the Church Fathers. (The earliest teachers of Chrustianity they are a whole lot sharper than me.) But we only honor Mary as Jesus Honored Mary. But think of this for a minute, if you had a friend and that friend spoke highly of your mother would you be offended? Of course not. Now if that same friend spoke insultingly of your mother would you not be offended? Of course you would. As a very important person in Jesus earthly life she has a special place in His Heart. What Good son do you know that would say no to his mother if she requested something from him and it was in his power to do? Maybe a bad son would say no. But we know Jesus is not a bad son. He too might put up a fuss as we do with our mothers at times but I suspect He would be hard pressed to tell her no. We call it networking in modern terms. We use others who are close to bosses or personnel departments to put in a good word for us. It dont always work but then again in my own prayer life I have learned that we too have a heavenly mother who we can turn to to ask for help. Heck if I asked you to pray for me I suspect you would willingly do so. The Church triumphant is now in heaven alive in the presence of God. The triumphant being those who have lived their life faithfully and are now in the presence of God. Anyone of the saints who have walked through this valley of the shadow of death, who know what we are going through you can bet would be more than willing to pray for us. Do we not follow jesus example? Yes we do. Is that example only for here and now? No. Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father to forever make intercession for us. And if He is doing so now and forever, why would the saints in heaven not be doing the same thing. Honor and worship are two different things. Christs peace to you. Please forgive any misspellings as I usually dont catch the autocorrections until after the fact.

@@Movinginwisdom And the shorter version of my response to you is. I didnt advise angel paige to worship Mary. You kinda added that part in. I made no mention of Mary to her. But see my longer post to you for my perspective on Mary.
