So, Scripture says the wine and the bread are to be taken. The Roman Church says the bread is good enough, except of course the priests will take the wine. Where in the Roman tradition does it say the bread is enough for the Roman Christians to have? Who and when was that decided? Why...

There is nothing said of the taking of the Lords Supper in these verses. So, again, where in Scripture does it say that taking the bread/Body means you take of the wine/Blood also? Stranger

Yes, and if it is good for a city, and a county, then it is good for a state also. Stranger

Well, as I said above you first cover all the bases on the persons testimony. Then if you have doubts.... You observe the person you are talking about. You don't need to follow them. But when they come to your attention you pay attention to the leaning of your spirit. Is it good or not...

So, what you are saying is the reason the laity only receives the bread/Body, is that the wine/blood is present also when they do it. And I guess that is per CCC #1390? Where in Scripture does such an idea exist, that the Church can take only the bread and that covers it all? Stranger

So, are we going back to the beginning? Does one claim to be Christian? How did you hear they were Chrsitian? What do they believe about Jesus Christ? Who is He? How did they come to Christ; their testimony? Then you observe over time. You have the Spirit of God, so He should give...

Hyssop is just hyssop. But, it was used as a cleansing agent. (Lev. 14:1-7) (Num. 19:1-19) So of course it has meaning in (Ps. 51:7) I don't think the verses you give in (1 Kings) teach we as believers are to get all the wealth we can. But, neither do they teach what you call 'kingdom...

I just read where a county in Illinois declared itself a sanctuary for gun owners. The county officially voted in favor of this declaring that it is exempt from any state law that goes against the 2nd amendment. See. The liberals don't realize that 'sanctuary' is a two way street. If it is...

Apparently you can judge that your church is full of liars, cheaters, thiefs, and murderers. Why are you going to a church full of liars, cheaters, thiefs and murderers in the first place? If you know that much about them, then find some other place to go. If you know that much about them...

No, you have been busy dodging. What is the purpose of the Mass? What is 'species' as you call it? Does the Eucharist involve both the bread/Body and wine/Blood? Do the laity drink the wine/blood? Stranger

No, it doesn't. Just because the terms 'beasts' and 'creeping things' are used does not mean that the subject matter is the same in the verses. Just because the word 'fire' is used doesn't mean 'hell' is always being addressed. Just because the word 'water' is used doesn't mean baptism is...

God does not love His enemies. The world was created by God but is now in the hands of His enemy satan. God loves the world as it is of Him. God loves His people who are of Him. He does not love everyone. Concerning (Col. 2:11), it was true to the Jew under the Old Testament also. The...

You say it is absurd to believe there will be a literal man who is the antichrist due to the shortage of the time element and skepticism of the age. You forget that the Holy Spirit no longer resists the work of the 'mystery of iniquity' . (2 Thess. 2:7-8) This I believe is the removal of the...

Have you read all the posts in this thread? I would encourage you to do so, if you haven't. See my post #36. I do not believe you should divide the Bible as if the Old Testament represents the flesh and the New Testament represents the Spirit. The giving of the law was by the Spirit of...

So, no believer within the Roman Church has to partake of the Communion? Interesting. Is the bread and Body of the Lord offered in the same way the wine and Blood is offered? You can take it or leave it. Why is not the wine/Blood required to be partaken by the laity just as the bread/Body...

No, (John 5:37) is not using an anthropomorphism either. It is a statement that God has a voice and has shape. Stranger

Jesus Christ was not talking about a Theophanie in (John 5:37). He simply stated that God has shape, even though God is Spirit. And we are created in His image, including 'shape'. Stranger

Are you saying the Old Covenant was from man and not God? Who gave the 'Old Covenant'? Man or God? If the Old Covenant, and I believe you mean the Mosaic Covenant, was from God, how is it not Spirit? The Old Covenant was as much Spirit as the New Covenant. Yes, the sacrifice of Jesus...

You can repeat all you want. But Scripture, the verses you use, is not saying that. See (1 John 2:22) and (1 John 4:3). Stranger

If you want to attribute 'antichristian' labels on every group of believers who in some doctrinal area you disagree with, then all are antichrsitian,. The Roman Church does not deny the Person of Jesus Christ as God the Son. See again (1 John 2:22) and (1 John 4:3). Stranger
