And if you had read 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, this is what St. Paul says about the bread and wine: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread. And giving thanks, broke...

Hello Evanom, You need to read the entire article that you posted and not just parts of it. Nowhere in that article did it say that it is a sacrifice of Christ on the cross over and over and over. It says that the Mass is a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving as well as a propitiatory...

What has this have to do with transubstantiation ? Actually, it is in the Bible. John 17:21 That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

Hello JarBreaker, If you had read my post, I DID say that Christ sacrificed Himself on the cross only once. I also said that the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist means "communion." Furthermore, I can honestly say that in my church, it is not just the priest who drank the blood of Christ, but...

Hello Fivesense, As I said in my previous post, if Jesus meant to speak figuratively, then His disciples would not have left Him. The fact that He lost a vast majority of His disciples showed that He was speaking literally, and those who were there and heard Him knew that Jesus was speaking...

Even during Abraham's time, we see the bread and wine, which was a foreshadow of things to come in the New Testament. Later, God told the Israelites that the lamb they are to sacrifice must be an unblemished lamb. In the Old Testament, the ancient Israelites were not only told to sacrifice a...

I don't think so. First of all, when Jesus broke the bread, He DID say "Take for this is my body." Jesus is Truth. Whatever He says is Truth. He doesn't lie. So, when He said, "Take, for this is my body," then we are to believe what He says because we knows that He doesn't lie. When He took...

Hello Fivesense, In Matthew 13:34 when Jesus said that he spoke in parables, he wasn't referring to "eating His body and drinking His blood." Do not take the Scripture out of context. In Matthew Chapter 13, Jesus spoke about the parable of the Sower, the parable of the weeds, and the...

Hello Fivesense, Christ was speaking literally. Look closely at the Scriptures: John 6:51-52 I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world." The Jews quarreled among...

Evalo Shalom.

Hello, From what I understand, reincarnation was never a Christian belief. It is Buddhist. The Buddhist usually cremate their dead because to them the soul is more important than the body. They believe that the soul or spirit of a person will find itself in another body. Christians, on the...

I agree. Translating Hebrew into Greek also poses a problem. Scholars have also noted that the Gospel of Matthew, for example, was originally written in Hebrew because of the many Hebrew idioms. Then later translated into Greek.

Translation can change the meaning of a word because all languages are different. For example, in my native language, the word "He," "She" and "It" are the same. In my language, the word is "guiya." In the Hebrew language, these pronouns are also identical. The word "brother" in my native...

REINCARNATION???? I should have read more of the posts on this thread. Reincarnation is a Buddhist belief, not a Christian one. God bless you too, Brother Mike.

Brother Mike, you need to read further down in Chapter 2. Look closely at what Genesis Chapter 2 says when you read further down: Genesis 2:5-20 And every plant of the field before it sprung up in the earth, and every herb of the ground before it grew: for the Lord God had not rained upon the...

Hi Jerry, The other one was off-topic. The thread was about Judas, but it got off-topic and I responded to the off-topic posts. This post belonged here. And by the way, what do you mean that I have no idea what I'm talking about? It's there in Scripture. In Genesis Chapter 1, man was...

Hello, I haven't read the entire thread, only some of them. At any rate, I just wanted to say that the Bible is not a science book, and it is not meant to be read as a science book. In the Bible, there are actually two creation stories. In Genesis Chapter 1, man was created on the 6th day...

Yes, I agree. It would be awesome to see Heaven and most especially God. By the way, I'm a female. I know that my avatar looks very masculine, but I"m Asian. My father was Asian and my mother's ancestors came from southeast Asia. I figured that having my Chinese symbol (a tiger)...

Hi Templar, In the first place, the Bible is not a science book, and it is not meant to be read as a science book. In the Bible, there are actually two creation stories. In Genesis Chapter 1, man was created on the 6th day (Genesis 1:26-31). In the first chapter of Genesis, man was created...

My faith teaches me that God comes first before any treasures in His kingdom. I am looking forward to meeting my Father face to face someday. God bless, brother Robster and Brother Mike.
