    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    No - that's NOT what I said. I asked you a hypothetical question to counter YOUR hypothetical because YOU are second-guessing God. It's NOT up to you when He does things. So, answer me this - because this is an historical truth that Evangelical Pastor Francis Chan eventually had to face: Were...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    WRONG. The angel NEVER told Mary that she would have a child before have relations with Joseph. He told her she would have a child - PERIOD. It was then that she questioned him, "How can this be since I do not know man." READ your Bible and stop lying already . . . Jesus was telling Philip...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Ummmmmm, ONE more time, so pay attention: The time had NOT yet come. God does things in HIS time - not yours. As for the Last supper and how Jesus was able to transubstantiate bread and wine into His body and blood before His crucifixion - this is a no-brainer. He is GOD. It amazes me how...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    A single crumb of His flesh and a drop of His Blood and a is still His flesh and blood. Ummmmm, I'm sure your kids are really proud of their Scripturally-bankrupt daddy . . .

    NOPE. The mass is not a "re-sacrificing" of Christ. It is s Re-Presentation of His once-for-all sacrifice. We are taken back to Calvary at each mass.

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    The time hadn't come yet. As I stated before - I could just as easily ask YOU to explain why He didn't drop dead and atone for the sins of the world at some earlier point. SAME answer: Because the time had NOT yet come.

    I'm surprised you could spell "contextually" - let alone, understand what it means . . .

    No - who said he was, Einstein? Do you really have children?? YIKES!!

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    It is the HOLY SPIRIT who transubstantiates the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. The Priest is the instrument - but he does NOT do this on his own.

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Being drunk or withholding fro the poor when you have enough to share - those are SINS. You are NOT to receive the Body and Blood of Christ if you are in a state of grave sin. THIS is why Paul told them that they were eating and drinking DAMNATION on themselves and had to answer to the Body...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    You need to read ALL of it - NOT just that one part. That's why you're confused . . . That's a poor understanding of a "remembrance." What would you automatically assume that a remembrance is always a mere "symbol". When my daughter was in school - her class created a memorial to "remember"...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    And that's exactly what I would expect a Biblical illiterate like yourself to say. Tell me - which part of “Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord" do you NOT understand?

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    And this is the most asinine interpretation of all . . . Paul told them: 1 Corinthians 11:27-30 “Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. A person should examine himself, and so eat the bread and drink the...

    Thank you for PARTIALLY posting the verses. Here is the ENTIRE commandment - in context: Exod. 20:3-6 “You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Not sure where you get your weird ideas but there are married or celibate priests. In the Eastern Rites of the Church, married priests celebrate Mass and confect the Eucharist. What are you talking about??

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Wrong. Paul's statement is about their approach toward the Eucharist when he says: 1 Corinthians 11:27-30 “Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. A person should examine himself, and so eat the bread and...

    Not when it is transformed into the Body and Blood of Christ by GOD Himself.

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Generally, yes. Not in Mary's case, however. People who are about to get married don't usually get puzzled about somebody telling them that the will have a baby - UNLESS they intended NOT to have children. And that's fine - but not necessarily "normal". I gave you FOUR Biblical examples of...

    Both. The Eucharist IS Christ.

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    In 1 Corinthians 11:27-30, Paul speaks to the reality of the Eucharist and the severity of the consequences to those who take this lightly: “Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. A person should examine...
