You're advocating that at the Last Supper, Jesus said, "This is a mere symbol of my body" and "This is just a metaphorical example of my blood." The Bible, however, says that Jesus emphatically said, "This IS my Body" and "This IS my blood." I'll stick to the words of Christ over those of an...

It is APOSTOLIC Tradition. It was taught by the Apostles. BOTH the Body AND Blood are offered at Communion. Nobody is "forced" to receive Communion. These are the SAME answers to ALL of the SAME stupid questions you've been asking for several pages no. Up until now - most of your posts were...

Huh?? What are you talking about?? HOW does 1 Cor 15:12-19 differ from what I said?? WRONG. It is NOT speaking about false prophets but about false DISCIPLES. Matt. 7:15-20 is talking about false prophets. Matt. 7:21-23 is talking about false disciples. Most translations distinctly divide...

Stranger - are really this dense or do you just enjoy blathering on about a subject that I have explained ad nauseam? The Church doesn't "refuse" giving the cup to communicants. We are offered BOTH species (Body AND Blood) at mass. What is your problem with that?? As to your last question -...

This discussion was an argument from the very beginning. I'm interested in what the Word of God has to say - not in the perverted cherry-picked version of it . . .

The 7 Churches are examples of what was happening among in the Church in different locations. For the most part, they were being reprimanded. The Church at Philadelphia got it right. I don't see why the Church at Rome needs to be mentioned at ALL here because this isn't about Authority. It's...

Don't you actually READ the words of Scripture?? The Apostles had NO idea what Jesus was talking about - so why would they start eating Him right there?? When the first "Protestants" left Him in verse 66 - Jesus turned to the twelve and asked, "Do you ALSO want to leave." Peter said to Him...

I've had some pretty inane conversations with certain people on this forum - but YOU take the cake. Paul doesn't say that a man MUST run a good, married household. He merely states that IF a man is married - he must run a tight ship. This is getting ridiculous . . . The Mass consists of the...

The 7 Churches of Revelation are NOT the only Churches at that time. As I educated you before - there is NO mention of the Church in Rome or Corinth or Thessalonica or Phrygia or Pamphylia or Antioch or ANYWHERE else. These 7 Churches were being used as examples. You need to be able to...

Your problem is that you cherry-pick verses fro Scripture and absolutize them. Take for example, Rom. 10:9, which YOU quoted as the way we are saved. It's NOT. It's a starting point. Matt. 7:21 tells us in NO uncertain terms that NOT everybody who calls on the Lord will be saved. Is this a...

Okay - then explain to me WHEN this "Roman" Church hijacked the name "Catholic". Surely you must ave a date - or even a decade when this took place. As for your last question - the answer is "Never". The Church never "hijacked" the authority to make this decision. This authority was granted by...

This entire ridiculous response shows a complete ignorne of the Gospel. First of all - WHY would the Apostles "bite" Him and drink His blood in John 6?? Why would they eat his dead body AFTER the Crucifixion?? Jesus instructed them HOW to eat His flesh and drink His blood at the Last Supper...

Wrong. Paul is merely stating that IF he is married and CAN'T run his house properly - then he shouldn't be a Bishop. If he IS married and CAN run his house properly - then he is a good candidate. And I NEVER said that we repent and confess "through" Communion, - DID I?? I stated plainly that...

IfF you were doing the will of the Father - you might have a point - but you're NOT, so you don't. Lying and bearing false witness is going against what the Father wants.

No Stranger - I won't answer you when you denigrate my Church and my beliefs. You are totally incapable of having a charitable conversation. If you don't want to use the term "Catholic Church" to correctly identify the Church that I belong to - then simply say "YOUR Church" when asking a...

And this shows how little you know of the Gospel. John's Gospel is the Gospel where we hear the Eucharist explained more specifically than the other three. In the Bread of Life Discourse (John 6:25-71), our Lord emphatically states that unless we eat his flesh and drink his Blood, we have no...

And this says absolutely SQUAT about it being better or even necessary for a Bishop to be married. It simply states that IF he can't properly run his household - he shouldn't be running a congregation. NOWHERE in ANY of Paul's letters does it say that a Bishop MUST be married. It only that he...

I can't really answer those questions because I don't know what the "Roman Church" even is. I don't know what "Roman traditions" are, either. As for "Roman Christians" - I can only assume you mean Christians that live in Rome. Now - if you want to discuss the Sacred Traditions practiced by the...

WRONG. It begins with the Word of God - and ends with our response to that Word. A man doesn't have a full, experiential knowledge (Epignosis) of Him doesn't "Lose" anything because he never had it. WRONG again, as usual. These passages talk about a person with a full, experiential knowledge...

I agree. You cannot be a part of Him unless you DO those things. You learned this from the Catholic Church who gave you the Canon of Scripture . . .
