Some people

start a lot of gossip threads.

For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies [2 Thess. 3:11].

"Here we are told the situation. There were some who were not working at anything constructive. They were not interested in getting out the Word of God, but they were busy—they were busybodies. They were really making a nuisance of themselves, and they were causing trouble in the church in Thessalonica. It takes just one bad apple to spoil the barrel; it takes just one little fly to spoil the ointment; and one fanatic in the church can affect the spiritual life of a great many people. That is the reason Paul had said before that they were to withdraw themselves from the ones who walk disorderly, and I’m sure he had the busybodies in mind. They were busy as termites and just as effective as termites in the church at Thessalonica."

Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread [2 Thess. 3:12].

"This doesn’t sound very spiritual, does it? It doesn’t sound very theological. But it certainly is practical. It would solve a great many problems in the average church if the busybodies, the troublemakers, would work with quietness and do something constructive. It is interesting that the man who was the biggest troublemaker in any church that I served was the smallest contributor—and I found that out by accident. The treasurer of the church was talking to me about the trouble this fellow had been, and I said, “Well, he is a man of means; and I suppose a very generous giver, and he naturally is interested in how his money is being spent.” The treasurer looked at me and laughed. He said, “That man gives ten dollars a year for the Lord’s work!” Believe me, he certainly gave us more than ten dollars worth of trouble! There must have been people like that in Thessalonica. Paul says that they were to quietly go to work and mind their own business." McGee, J. V. (1997). Thru the Bible commentary (electronic ed.) (2 Th 3:11–12). Nashville: Thomas Nelson.

We (conservatives

"Pr 25:23. As surely as an Israelite could predict the consequences of a north wind, so one can predict the consequences of a sly tongue (lit., "a tongue of secrecy," i.e., a slanderous tongue).

"Mk 5:9 "What is your name?" Most likely, Jesus asked this in view of the demon’s appeal not to be tormented. However, He did not need to know the demon’s name in order to expel him.

Response to comment [from a Christian]: [We share communion in remembrance of Him.] "Yes, of course, it says that right where it says, "This is My body, this is My blood." We're using the same source."

"The harm in believing what the Lord said at face value, both to "eat this bread, and drink this cup" in remembrance, and, "This is My body, This is My blood," is what exactly? I'm not getting it."

Transubstantiation is one of many false teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.

[Evangelicals and Catholics Together by John MacArthur] "Roman Catholicism teaches that the communion wafer is transformed through a miracle into the literal body of Christ and the wine is transformed into the literal blood of Christ. Trent stated, “The whole Christ is contained under each form of the communion elements” (Trent, sess. 13, canon 3). Therefore, whoever participates in the Mass actually eats the flesh of Jesus Christ, and the priests who partake of the wine actually drink His blood. This is the doctrine known as transubstantiation.

Its corollary is the teaching that every time Mass is said, the sacrifice of Christ is offered over again. “A true and real sacrifice” is offered to God in the Mass and “Christ is given to us to eat” (Trent, sess. 22, canon 1). Rome believes that the “Savior instituted the Eucharistic Sacrifice of His Body and Blood. He did this in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the Cross throughout the centuries until He should comeagain.”19

That nullifies the crucial biblical truth that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God” (Heb 10:10–12, emphasis added).

There is no more need for daily sacrifices or an intercessory priesthood.

In fact, those things have encumbered the Roman Catholic system with pure idolatry. Each Mass features the holding up of the consecrated wafer (“the host”) and the bowing and worshiping the communion elements by all present. The Council of Trent ruled,

If anyone says that in the holy sacrament of the Eucharist, Christ the only begotten Son of God [in the form of the wafer], is not to be adored with the worship of latria [worship due God alone], also outwardly manifested; and is consequently neither to be venerated with a special festive solemnity, nor to be solemnly borne about in procession according to the laudable and universal rite and custom of Holy Church; or is not to be proposed publicly to the people to be adored and that the adorers of it are idolaters—let him be anathema (Trent sess. 13, canon 6).

In other words, the host—the transubstantiated wafer—is deemed worthy of the kind of worship reserved only for God..." Full text: Evangelicals and Catholics Together

Do you mean cafeteria

Catholic?

"Optimism - the doctrine or belief that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly." ~ Ambrose Bierce

I quote both the righteous and the wicked.
