In post #268, I painstakingly went over the repeated words of Jesus in John 6 to illustrate that He was NOT speaking symbolically or metaphorically. I compared it to the symbolic verses YOU referenced (John 10:7, John 15:1, 1 Cor. 10:4, Rev. 17:9) to make mu case. All YOU can do in reply is to...

continued . . . That is a LIE. Jesus NEVER said this. Time for a Bible Lesson . . . Jesus said: Matt. 6:7 “And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.” Does this mean that God hates repetitious prayers? in...

No - what muddies the waters are all of the mindless, individual interpretations of Scripture. THIS is why we have tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering Protestant sects that ALL teach different doctrines - yet ALL claim to have been “led” to this confusion by the Holy...

This argument falls FLAT with the Bread of Life Discourse in John 6 . . . Jesus hammers the point over and over: “Unless you EAT my flesh and DRINK my blood” “My flesh is TRUE FOOD and my blood is TRUE DINK” John even goes so far as to repeatedly use the word “Trogon” – the way an animal rips...

God doesn’t “take back” anything. It’s NOT that difficult to understand, For example – I give you a gift for your birthday. It’s yours and I will never demand it back from you. However, one day you lose interest in it and sell it. Like any other gift - salvation can be discarded. His PLAN...

Please show me where the Bible states: “This is an emblem of my body.” “This is a symbol of my blood.” Chapter and Verse, please . . . You see, in MY Bible, Jesus says: This IS my body This IS my blood (Matt. 26:26–28, Mark 14:22–24, Luke 22:19–20, 1 Cor. 11:23–25)

This make NO sense at ALL from an NT point of view. As shocking and disturbing as violating that particular Law – being told to ignore all of the Dietary and Ceremonial Laws later on in Acts was just as disturbing. Where was the mass exodus of followers then??? In John 6, the crowd heard what...

We Catholics don’t wait for a certain “date” in order to proclaim Christ crucified. We proclaim his death ALWAYS – just as we proclaim His Resurrection. 1 Cor. 11:26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. YOUR difficulty with this is...

So, the majority of Catholics that you’ve personally interviewed were ignorant. There are JUST as many ignorant Protestants in MY experience. In the end – this is THEIR fault and NOT the fault of their priest/pastor. Too many people don’t prioritize their faith over their personal life or...

This is truly a perverted view of God’s forgiveness . . . Heb. 10:14 is NOT about the idea that we are perfect and cannot get any better. That’s what “perfect” means. It clearly says: Heb. 10:14 For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. We are BEING...

There waas a hierarchy - and Peter was in charge. - Jesus singled out Peter when He gave him the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven (Matt. 16:18-19). - Jesus asked Peter and Peter alone to feed His lambs and tend His sheep (John 21:15-19). - Jesus said that He prayed for Peter ALONE to strengthen...

This makes absolutely ZERO sense. A mistaken perception is NOT a violation of God’s Law. I openly-challenge you to show me where this is the case. Chapter and Verse, please . . . Then you actually believe that Jesus LIED in Matt. 16L18. Good luck with that . . . There were MANY thing in the...

Actually, I’ve made PLENTY – and you haven’t been able to refute ANY of them. Remember - denial is not refutation . . . You really need to get over this. Maybe, do some actual homework about the subject . . .

ALL of our sins are forgiven when we come to Jesus in Baptism (Acts 2:38-39). Any FUTURE sins we commit AFTER coming to Christ must be repented of - because, as we read in Scripture: 1 John 1:8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. James 5:16...

Sooooo, when you can’t address the points I make – you attack my formatting?? Just admit that you that you’re stumped and we’ll move on . . .

I never said it was. YOU stated that This was the first time Jesus said something that was offensive to them. I pointed out that telling them to love their enemies and forgive their tormentors was offensive to some. As I already pointed out - the prohibition against consuming the blood of an...

I never said it was. However – Jesus didn’t “save” the world. He PAID for the sins of every person. To achieve salvation takes our cooperation with that grace. God’s gift is free – bur WE have to accept it in order for it to take effect. Your car can be filled with gas - but until YOU turn the...

The fact that Jesus does for ALL doesn’t save a SINGLE person - unless that person has faith in Him. We are saved BY His sacrifice – but only THROUGH our faith (Eph 2:8-10).

I agree with that assessment. I also know that the Bible teaches that it is something that can be lost by our own doing (Matt. 7:19-23, Matt. 10:22, Matt. 24:13, Matt. 25:31–46, John 15:1-6, Rom. 11:22, 1 Cor. 4:4, 1 Cor. 9:27, 1 Cor. 10:12, 1 Tim. 4:1, 1 Tim. 4:16, 2 Tim. 2:12, Heb. 3:6, Heb...

Then, address why Paul wrote the dire warnings of sickness and death over something that is just a “symbol”. Address the Didache, which echoes Paul’s admonishment. Explain why the doctrine of the Eucharist is one practiced for over 2000 years since the FIRST century. Explain why the pagans...
