It's not about ME being right - it's about Christ's Church is right. The ideas that YOU are espousing are relatively new in the span of Christian history. As I stated before - even your Protestant Fathers didn't believe what you are saying. They held strongly to the belief in the Real...

Good grief - crack open a history book. Pathetic . . .

Sorry Amadeus - you can't just jettison the linguistic implications of the Greek text. The NT was written in Greek for a reason - which is known only to God. In John 6, Jesus is abundantly clear that He is talking about his flesh and His blood - and NOT His word when He says we must eat and...

Ummm, He DID mean it and He DID take His chance at telling His followers. Unfortunately - they were a lot like YOU guys on this forum and wouldn't believe Him. Not sure what you mean in the rest of your post. The Bread of Life Discourse in John 6 is NOT that difficult to believe or understand...

YOU certainly are - or you wouldn't keep responding, Einstein . . . Anyway - it looks like you need to do some homework. Read, Where We Got The Bible by the Protestant author Rev. Henry Graham - who DID do his homework and converted to the Catholic Church before finishing his book. Graham...

This is the dumbest argument I've ever heard. The Protestant Revolt wasn't in the New Testament either - but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. The Bible wasn't written in Latin or English - but it certainly was later. The "Incarnation" isn't mentioned by name in the Bible - but it's a core...

The Council of Jerusalem should have been in Rome?? Time for a little Bible lesson . . . Paul and Peter had not yet journeyed to Rome. There was no Bishopric set up in Rome yet. Kind of difficult to have a headquarters - when the Head isn't there yet, eh?? The Church at Rome wasn't the...

And, as usual - your ignorance of history clouds the issue. First of all - the Bible was not kept out of the hands of the masses. For your information, over 85% of the general public was fuctionally illiterate. As a matter of fact, my historically-bankrupt friend - over two thirds of the...

Nice try, but no cigar . . . The Church in Rome doesn't have to be mentioned every time there uiis an issue or commendation regarding ANY Parish. The 7 Churches in Asia, along with the Churches at Corinth, Philippi, Thessalonica, Antioch and Jerusalem, were parishes. If the issue does all the...

Sorry to disagree but there are some problems for you in the Greek text in John 6. 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 life within us. He goes on to say “For my flesh is true food, and my blood...

No need to apologize, amadeus. As a matter of fact - I apologize if I misunderstood you.. You're one of the only honest non-Catholic posters here and I enjoy talking to you. I am a little curious about one thing you said, though. You said you drink the blood of Jesus daily. How do you do this?

WOW. Why would the Church at Rome be mentioned if only the Churches in Asia are being written to?? Why would the Church at Rome be mentioned if the issues being discussed didn't pertain to them?? As I stated before - the Churches in Corinth, Phippii, Thessalonica, Antioch and Jerusalem weren't...

Because you said I was "wrong" about something - yet you're afraid to tell me what it is that I was "wrong" about. You've also failed on the last 10 or so posts to tell me exactly HOW I "manipulated" history - another thing you accused me of. You shouldn't open your mouth unless you can back it...

Sooooo, YOU think the Catholic Church is evil and godless - yet YOU quote Scripture because the Catholic Church declared the Canon?? Another nonsensical answer from a member of an online cult . . .

If anybody else thinks it's as ridiculous as YOU do - then they are as equally ignorant of the English language as YOU . . . Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary: Full Definition of pray transitive verb 1: entreat, implore - often used as a function word in introducing a question, request...

I'm wrong about what, exactly? Can you elaborate?

The Bible was not read? The entire Mass is taken straight out of the Scriptures. The first part of the Mass is the Liturgy of the Word, where there are two readings and a before the Gospel is read. Female Lectors are not a matter of Sacred Tradition. Nobody drinks wine at the Mass. We drink...

Yup - YOU do it all the time on this forum whenever you ask somebody a question.

Actually - this is yet another one of your false claims. Although the Orthodox Church doesn't submit to the authority of the Pope - it was never a case of them believing that the Catholic Church was inferior. Their argument was always about the Bishop of Eome being one among EQUALS - not...

Gee, I HATE to point out the obvious to you - but John was writing about the Seven Churches of ASIA. Notice that there is also no mention if the Church in Jerusalem or Corinth or Thessalonica or Antioch or Philippi or a lot of other places. Please do your homework before responding . . .
