Obvious? How so? If you can prove to me that the Eucharist is not the Body and Blood of Christ, and that a cohesive body of christians (the true church) has been condeming this heresy all through the history of the church, i will renounce my faith right now and join this 'beacon on a hill' that you will demonstrate.
If you cant do that, you should stop judging your brethren, and think again about sacrilege.
I shall not warn you again.
Peace!
I could care less what you do. You're
catholic and, by definition, that makes you a flaming, full-fledged heretic. About 95% of what you believe in is not Biblical.
What are you going to do? Put me on the rack? Probably, every
catholic church has a mandatory fully equipped dungeon where they're all waiting, drooling, with glowing eyes, with their horns well polished, with great anticipation for the time when they can start torturing people again. Ah, for the good old days. They surely have some new tortures figured out. Torture surely is the best way to get conversions. It most always works.
I question whether those Catholics who adhere tightly to the Catholic doctrine are saved. The way I understand salvation, as explained by Paul, who is the ONLY apostle to the Gentiles and, therefore, is always
the very last word that any Gentile should listen to and obey, all one needs to do is believe that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and God raised Him up after 3 days. ANYTHING added to this simplicity, works or whatever, detracts from this salvation, and very likely cancels the salvation. In other words, I really question that any faithful Catholic is saved, since they have made salvation much more complicated.
Christ had several real brothers and sisters, mothered by Mary, though, at least according to the real Bibles.
Show me in the Bible where it says that when you feed somebody one of those big stupid cookies, he is actually eating Christ's body.
Catholics never met a metaphor that they accepted as a metaphor. Then show me where, you as a Gentile, have permission to own what was given only to the 12, and/or Israel. Also, since no Gentiles during Christ's ministry were allowed to participate in any of those all-Israel things, at the time, like the bread and wine thing, show me, in scripture, where it says that Gentiles are now allowed to participate. Also, isn't it unlawful for Gentiles to participate in the Passover?
