Because it is NO LONGER bread. It is only the appearance of bread and wine – also known as the accidents of bread and wine. That’s why St. Augustine said based on the words of CHRIST Himself: "What you see is the bread and the chalice, that is what your own eyes report to you. BUT WHAT YOUR...

Actually - valid Apostolic Succession had NOTHOING to fo with "allegiance to the Pope". The Eastern Orthodox Churches have valid Aspotolic Succession - and are NOT in communion with the Bishop of Rome. It has more to do with the fact that the changes in the Ordination Rites that occurred with...

Yes, but history tells us the origins of your church didn't come about until the 16th century.

Unless ALL of these things pertain to YOUR sect - you are NOT the Church being discussed by Ignatius. We can check EVERY box on his list.

Sooooo, with ONE breath, you call it "noonsense" that I pointed out that most Protestanets believe that the Catholic adoration of the Eucharist is IDOLATRY. And in the NEXT breath - you imply that it mpost certainly IS idolatry because it is "just bread and wine". Do you believe that idolators...

Theyn YOU differ with MOST Protestants that I have debated here who call it "Idolatry" to worship a piece of bread. I completely agree with them - anbd so does Scripture. That's why we don't worship bread - but the Sacramental Body, Blood, Sould and divinity of Jesus Christ. The Early Church...

Your are correct. There is NO "Roman" Catholic Church. "Roman" or "Latim" simply refers to name of the largest Liturgical Rite of the Catholic Church. There are about TWENTY, which in clude the Melkite, Maronite, Byzantine, Anticcjan, Coptic, etc. We are the ONE Catholic Church - and ALL of...

If Catholics WORSHIP the Eucharist as Jesus - and it is only bread and wine - then that is IDOLATRY. The puunushment for idolatry is Hell. So - YOU are willing to believe that for 1500 years - EVERY Christian wewnt to Hell for idolatry - and that christians ONLY started going to Heaven when...

And yet, they can only trace their existence back to John Smith in 1609. Ignatius of Antioch - 107AD: Follow your bishop, every one of you, as obediently as Jesus Christ followed the Father. Obey your clergy too as you would the apostles; give your deacons the same reverence that you would to a...

It's YOU who doesn't understand. If I was holding a potato anf Jesus told me that it was a computer - I would believe Him YOU wouldn't because YOU only trust your senses. I trust in HIM.

It's painfully-obvious that yoy don't. You are willing to believe that for 1500 years - EVERY Christian wewnt to Hell for idolatry - and that christians ONLY started going to Heaven when yyour Protestant Fathers "corrected" this error. Now, THAT takes a leap of faith . . .

We're NOT a "denominstion". The Catholic Church is the Original Tree from which Protestantism splintered and CONTINUES to splinter into coompeting factions, condemned by passages like 1 Cor. 1:10-13. As for your claims of "perfect unity of born again believers" - that is complete nonsese. I...

As I told you before - Jesus ISN'T an idiot - even if YOU think He is. He gave us the SACRAMENTAL presctioption of bread and wine that becomes His body and blood. If He wanted the Apostles to perpetuate the Eucharistic celebratioon by taking a bite our of His arm - it would have onlt lasted a...

Good grief - this is the ENTIRE point, Einstein. TENS OF THOUSANDS of perpetually-splintering factions. - and you don't see the problem with this? Maybe THIS will jar something in that jead of yourss: John 17:20-23 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through...

Having a denominational name is irrelevant. The Rock Foundation Belief of Christ’s Church is; Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. And simply "believing" in that does not make you a Christian. I know a LOT of people who believe this but have perverted the rest and could NEVER be...

We DO have flesh and blood at Communion - because Jesus said so. Jesus SAID it - I BELIEVE it. If Jesus said that the bread and wine become cotton candy - I would believe it because He is GOD. YOU son't have the faith to take that leap. Do you believe that God simply spoke and the Universe...

WRONG. Even this short list of differences proves that the Holy Spitiy doesn't doesn't teach every individual the truth - when they reject the truths of His Church. Some Protestant denominations believe in baptismal regeneration, while others do not. Some believe in soul-sleep, while others do...

And YOU are an inventer of idioitic donctrines of men . . .

And very ignorant of you . . . Like I said - only a Biblical illiterate would actually believe that Jesus would say what He said in the Great Commission– ONLY to have Peter give a different instruction.

We’ve been through this ad nauseam. Being Baptized “in the name of Jesus Christ” - as I have AMPLY shown with scholarly linguistic evidence on MANY occasions means – means the Baptism of Jesus. It does NOT mean that the WORDS of Baptism ONLY include “Jesus Christ and NOT the Father or Holy...
