    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    It has EVERYTHING to do with your absurd, silly premise: that the meaning of "is" must be "CHANGED from one reality to a completely different reality." Your whole premise is that the meaning of "is" is "change" and that the verb "requires" that such a change happens. I simply have pointed...

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    I'm showing your premise that the verb "to be" MANDATES a CHANGE from one reality into a different one is not only absurd and silly - but actually leads to profound heresy. Yup. Because the Bible uses the verb "IS". He IS God. He IS man. But according to you, it's unacceptable for two...

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    So your individual,f singular denomination dogmatically declared at it's little Council of Trent in 1551.... But as you've repeatedly proven, Jesus said no such thing, Paul penned no such thing, the Bible says no such thing. The verb is "IS" (being, existing, present, there, real) not...

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    Then you agree with me, your absurd and silly insistence that the verb "to be" MANDATES a change from one reality into a different reality is not only absurd but leads to heresy. You might want to think about that. I am rejecting that medieval invention. I'm accepting and believing what...

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    How can the Apostle say to Christ, "You ARE (same verb!) the Christ, the Son of the Living God" without His human nature CHANGING into divinity. Why is it mandated that an individual person or denomination in the 16th Century tell God HOW He performs His miracles - and indeed tell Him He MUST...

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    "IS" and "CHANGED" are two entirely different verbs. Which one did Jesus say? Which one did Paul write? John 2:9 says that the water "has become wine." Where in any Eucharistic text does the word "become" appear? Or "change" Or "convert?'" Or "transubstantiation"? Or "not?" Or "seems?"...

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    I'M the one agreeing with Jesus and Paul. With EXACTLY what they said/penned (no deletions, no additions, no editing). I'M the one saying Jesus and Paul told the truth. I'M the one believing... You've been ridiculing me for it for pages and pages now. I believe they said what they meant...

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    Actually, I'M the one who believes..... YOU are the one insisting Jesus and Paul misspoke. I'M accepting - fully and as truth - what they said, which is "IS" 'BODY' 'BLOOD' 'FORGIVENESS." You are the one deleting what they said and substituting these two pagan philosophies - alchemy's...

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    To BreadofLife It's an affirmation and belief in what Jesus said and Paul penned - which was "IS" and not "CHANGED from one reality to a different, foreign one via the precise, technical, physical mechanism of an alchemic transubstantiation leaving behind a mixture of reality and Aristotelian...

    Confession

    To GodsGrace, IF it's true that only a properly ordained priest of the singular RC denomination may forgive sins, then obviously the rest of us can't. And that creates quite a problem since ALL of us are told to forgive sins (in fact, properly ordained priest of the RC denomination are...

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    To BreadofLife See post #1. See position #1. It's called "Real Presence." It IS my position. It accepts what Jesus said and Paul penned, embracing such as true. What verb did He use? "IS" or "CHANGED via the precise technical, physical process of an alchemic transubstantiation...

    Confession

    IF this is right, then Jesus was wrong to including in His model prayer, "and forgiven us AS WE FORGIVE those who sin against us." Wrong because if this view is correct, we can't forgive - and we are asking God to thus not forgive us. There are MANY Scriptures that command us to forgive -...

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    To Philip James No. I'm not "suggesting" anything whatsoever, I'm just affirming and believing what Jesus said and Paul penned, disagreeing that they erred (or at least made some VERY bad word choices). I hold that the meaning of "is" is "is". And that the meaning of "body" is "body."...

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    See post 164 and 168. I'm agreeing with Jesus and Paul. And I don't agree that Jesus and Paul are being evasive. MY position is that they are being truthful, they are telling the truth, they are not lying or misleading or misspeaking. MY position is they did NOT mean something radically...

    CATHOLIC BASHING THREAD TITLES

    If Catholics don't, why does a Catholic (BreadofLife) mandate it of non-Catholics? Why the hypocritical double standard? Ah, you MEANT to say you were placing me on your ignore list for awhile. Too bad.

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    See post 164. And all my previous posts. If the meaning of a word alludes you, try using a dictionary. If it still alludes you, ask the definition of the word. MY position is that Jesus and Paul were totally truthful, they told the truth. MY position is that they used the word "is"...

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    See post 164. If the meaning of any word in it alludes you, try using a dictionary. If it still alludes you, ask me for the definition(s) I mean. But first READ THE WORDS of post 164 (right above). It's pretty simple, not rocket science, it doesn't require a knowledge of alchemy or...

    CATHOLIC BASHING THREAD TITLES

    Direct that to BreadofLife.... it was your fellow Catholic who insisted that a Protestant prove his pov from the words of Scripture (or admit it wrong) but then proved he couldn't do what he required of others. I simply noted the hypocrasy of it. PS I thought you said I was on your ignore...

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    I'm the one AGREEING with Jesus and Paul.... I'm the one insisting they told the truth and meant EXACTLY what they said.... "IS' 'BODY' 'BLOOD' FORGIVENESS." YOU are the one dogmatically insisting that they should not have said/penned "is" but rather "CHANGED from one reality to a...

    CATHOLIC BASHING THREAD TITLES

    I agree. Scripture says NOTHING WHATSOEVER about Mary being assumed into heaven.... and NOTHING about the Roman Pontiff ever being "infallible." That's obvious (as you proved). So there goes your hypocrasy of insisting another prove his pov with the words of Scripture when you SO OBVIOUSLY...
