once again, I do not listen to men. Stop your arrogant chants of this lieYou don't follow Scripture. I know this already.
Sooooo your men have taught you that when you do what Jesus told you to do ("do this in remembrance of me")...you are mocking God? Just because you don't understand how Jesus can give us his flesh and blood on a daily (or as you say weekly) basis, doesn't mean he can't do it. Oh ye' of little faith!!!! Soooo what is the "daily bread" that we are praying for in The Lord's Prayer?
I have studied John 6 and I accept what Jesus said in it. I accept the writings from the earliest Christians 2,000 years ago on this matter. I accept our 2,000-year Christian history. You and your ilk reject it. You accept the writings from men around 500 years ago. When Paul asked, "The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?" Us Christians say YES Paul, it is. Just like Jesus said at The Last Supper, it IS his body. You and your men reject Jesus and Paul. I don't.
Keeping it real with Scripture and Christian history instead of opinions...Mary
If you understood John 6 you would have no problem going over it with me, But every time I ask you to do it, this is your answer.
face it, Your afraid to discuss it with me, If you were not you would do it.
Its ok.. Your not the only one, I was actually like this once many years ago..
If you studied john 6, you would not believe as you do, you could not.. Thats why you wont discuss it with me, because you either know I am true, or you have been told by your church never to get into a discussion with someone like this, You could put yourself in danger (I am not just saying this, I have heard first hand people being told not to do this. that they should trust their own church leaders. and not try to look for themselves)
Thats how the reformation happened. People were free to open the word and actually study what it says, And they found out that alot of what they were told did nto line up with the word of God.
It is still happening today. I have a cell group mens meeting of 6 men we started a few months ago. All but one are former Catholics. They did nto leave the church because I said something to them (I did not know them then)
They left because people they knew told them to pick up a bible and read. and study hard. and if what they read lines up with catholic doctrine. they would never say another word to them again.
Well they picked up the word in the privacy of their own rooms, and read. and they learned what so many thousands have learned.
the bible does nto support the catholic church
Thats WHY they have to use history. Thats WHY they have to use sources outside the word of God, Thats why they have to spread faear that you should listen to them and them only. they have the true words of God and perfect understanding. no one else does.. so you should not even dare to believe anything else.
you want to live in that fear. feel free.
Other than that, When your ready to actually look at john 6 as a whole. I will open a thread and we will do it.
otherwise. Don't tell me I am against YOUR CHURCH only because I reject their reading of that passage.
