Yeah, you can read the gospel and Paul’s letters to get a pretty good sense of how the Church runs. The Eucharist (the true Presence) doesn’t happen in any denomination that explicitly doesn’t believe it happens.
We celebrate the last supper at our church as well.
I feel many people in the Catholic Church seem to believe Peter is the way. They lean heavily on Peter. Peter is not the way. Only Jesus is. We love Peter. We thank him. There is no one between you and Jesus. If there is, it’s man. And Satan gains an advantage with man.
And the letters Jesus wrote to the seven churches, to me, sum up how churches should be ran. Props to Polycarp.
Edit. Also wanted to add, I didn’t downvote you brother.
Last supper
1 Corinthians 11:24-25
Now I’m fairly new to the church I’m currently going to. They do the last supper quarterly. From what I’m told. The preacher mentioned several scriptures, and talked about how to serve each other,etc, etc. And I remember the verse I posted. When Jesus spoke. Our preacher addressed the congregation about taking the Lord supper in a serious manner. Not just a random thing. And to make sure biblically baptized, and such. First time I had heard that. So they took it pretty serious. So no, not just drinking wine and eating crackers.
Honestly, it seems kind of stupid to trust some guy who is trying to interpret something 2,000 years after it was written instead of following the tradition of those who walked with Jesus, as recorded in documents from 50-70 years after His ascension.
Peter was the first leader of the church. His successors keep the seat warm for Christ’s return.
Christ explicitly gave the apostles the power of binding and loosing and of forgiving sins. This is in the gospel. He did not give that authority to anyone who wants it.
Jesus didn’t wrote any letters.
The letters that Paul wrote discuss tradition, and the church at the time had the liturgical rites that the Catholic church still honors.

Celebrating the last supper, you say?
Do you discern the body of Christ as Paul instructed? Or do you just eat bread and wine?
Book of Revelations yes. About the letters.

Yes, you misunderstand completely.

You’ve never heard of the 7 letters sent to the 7 churches? Each letter, as proclaimed by Jesus and recorded by John the Apostle?
Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea.
Sunday school brother. We lesser Christian’s take part in. <<trying to be funny here.
You are talking about the beginning of the book of Revelation?
Lol
True catholics don’t view protestants as lesser christians. That would be catholics who somehow have missed the teachings of Christ.
If Jesus wrote letters, that would be foundational to the Christian faith, and yet it isn’t even part of the bible.
What are you talking about?
