The Misunderstanding

I never really doubted it, mate. It’s actually good to see you lean into some form of faith—even if it’s the RCC.
After all, both PP and Wotsy have said you’re more of a Christian than I am. That’s kind of ironic, considering you don’t even believe in the Bible or Yeshua—but hey, credit where it’s due, right?

Hi TD, you've given whereu some sound advice, me, personally would say he's a believer, but been affected by people such as ourselves always bickering, this alone, the damage that it has caused has been a prime mover of today's atheism

Now to be honest with you, you appear to be very sincere and dedicated in following Christ, which is beautiful and a good thing to see, but unfortunately, you’ve been expose to a lot of myths and misconceptions about the CC and have put up a firewall in protecting it

The CC is definitely not perfect, it’s got lots of flaws with its people, but definitely the faith is correct, and intact always have been

You are correct in wanting to follow Jesus fully, but you’re keeping yourself from doing just that, when you keep away from the Eucharist, as this is where He’s physically found today, the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, truly present under the appearances of bread and wine, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ

If you truly follow and love Jesus as you say you do, wouldn’t you want to receive him and be with Him on this side of life

The 'Road to Emmaus'( Luke 24:13-35) story in the Gospel of Luke highlights the presence of the resurrected Christ with His disciples in the breaking of the bread. This episode of the gosple significance of recognizing Jesus in the Eucharist, where He reveals Himself to us in the 'breaking of the bread,' just as He did to the disciples on the road. Their eyes were opened, The Eucharist becomes a profound encounter with the living Christ, inviting believers to deepen their faith and communion with Him, many are also finding their eyes opened, this is what people are finding out today with the big shift towards Catholicism

The bickering about the CC is by no means the only factor that led to my atheism, but it was for me the last straw.
To me, denying the celebration of Jesus's birthday on the grounds that it effectively is the worship of Paganism is vile and only worth spitting out.
The celebration of Jesus's birth is recorded in the Bible, which TD claims to be his source of information.
The fuss that he stirs up about marking the Sabbath on a Sunday instead of from Friday evening, when it was changed to Sunday by Peter, who was given authority to do so by Jesus, is not called for and may even be damaging for some seekers.

For me, keeping away from the Eucharist is denying Jesus. He put in place what is today known as a sacrament with the words "this is my body and this is my blood", which means a deep relationship between himself and humanity.

I don't think that you should be concerned with @The Disciple… I think he is in the process of seeking, even if that process is in your face. I think he has chosen HC as a vehicle for this process, even if it's not that obvious.
