And the onus is on YOU to prove Jesus and Paul wrong - NOT for ME to prove them right. It is up to YOU to explain what Jesus meant when He picked up a hunk of bread and a cup of wine and told the Apostles in NO uncertain terms, "This IS my body" and "This IS my blood." Did He mean that "This is...

Sure. In Rev. 11:19, we see the Ark of the Covenant in Heaven. We KNOW that it is not the OLD Ark because it's not made of wood and gold. Besides - the OLD Ark was just a shadow of what was to come. Now - chapter and verse were NOT added to Scripture until the Catholic Church did so in the...

It's childish and downright silly to think that when Jesus picked up a hunk of bread and declared that it was actually HIS Body - that a change did NOT occur. The ONLY way I could believe that it didn't change would be if I rejected Christ and considered Him to be a liar. I do NOT - however...

It's funny - the longer and more insane your rants become - the more you accuse me of "Lying". ALL I've had to do for this entire thread is use a little Scripture - and your OWN words against you. As much as I'd like to take credit for the victory - your own arrogance and hypocrisy have...

WHO says clarification HAS to come immediately after a verse?? ALL of the prophecies about Jesus come not only in later Books - but many HUNDREDS of years later. These prophecies weren't clarified until they were FULFILLED, Einstein. 1 John 1:8 says unequivocally: 1 John 1:8 "If WE say that WE...

That's funny because on SEVERAL posts now - YOU have been claiming that this was "invented" in 1551. NOW, you're "agreeing" that the actual word was first used in the 11th century. Does that make you dishonest - or just REALLY dense? WHO said that Transubstantiation forces one Person of the...

Not to worry then because the Church doesn't use the terms "Alchemy", "Alchemic" or "Aristotle" in it's dogma. And, as I have had to educate you several times now - this wasn't a "new invention" in 1551. The belief in Transubstantiation goes all the way back to the earliest writings of the...

We are called "Extraordinary Ministers" because we are not the "Ordinary" Ministers (i.e., Priests, Deacons). Other than that - there is nothing "Extraordinary" about us. We're simply servants.

First of all - what does celibacy have to do with a thread about communion?? Looks like you are simply throwing darts at a board, desperately trying to make one stick. Try sticking to the conversation . . . As for your last comment in RED - it's closer to the topic, albeit moronic. First of...

Seriously?? Jesus was telling His followers that they would no longer hunger and thirst - SPIRITUALLY. You are EXACTLY the type of person Jesus was talking about in verse 63 when He said: "It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are...

No, the CONTEXT doesn't say that - but context is never your friend. Remember - neither John nor the Holy Spirit are idiots - even if YOU think they are. As I schooled you before - 1 John 1:8 clarifies the CONTEXT of 1 John 3:9, which is speaking of living a LIFE of willful sin. It's not about...

Yup - as long as we continue to COOPERATE with His grace and don't walk away . . . Romans 11:22 “See, then, the kindness and severity of God: severity toward those who fell, but God's kindness to you, provided you REMAIN in his kindness; otherwise you to will be cut off.” Paul is warning the...

More contextual ignorance . . . Unless you believe that John was an idiot and a liar and that 1 John is NOT inspired - then you have a problem, sparky. This verse says that a born again person does not sin. In CONTEXT, he is talking about living a life of willful sin and NOT about the...

Just served another 300 people or so the Precious Blood on Sunday at Mass. But - I guess it was just a figment of my imagination . . .

I see that you completely ignored everything I presented in post #59. I'm not going to post it again, but I suggest you RE-read it - and know that I, too understand the Bread of Life Discourse to be about Salvation. There are MANY flaws in your response - but one of the biggest is that you...

That's absolutely false 1 John 1:8). You have just proven that the truth is NOT in you . . . And the fact that YOU reject Jesus' humanity simply exposes your heresy. Good luck with that . . . Well, your first comment in RED is incorrect. Scripture itself is not knowledge. Scripture is the...

And I have shown - with great big pictures - that you are lying. Catholics are allowed to drink the blood as well as eat of the flesh of Christ. If this were NOT true - I wouldn't be an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion.

And, as usual - you have completely missed the point of the conversation. No big surprise there . . . If you want to debate Trent - then start a thread, Einstein. Otherwise - stick to the topic or get out of the way . . .

For some reason – I keep forgetting to debunk your phony date of 1551 as the “Invention” of Transubstantiation. The first time we see this word in the written form is by Hildebert of Tours in about 1079. We also see it in the writings of such theologians as Stephen of Autun (d. 1139), Gaufred...

And this is the point where I usually start laughing . . . Soooooo, Jesus tells His Apostles that what He is holding in His hands IS His body - but YOU say it isn't because the word "transubstantiation" is not used. YOU say that the Eucharist contains the "Real Presence" of Christ - but you...
