Indeed, I am not arguing. But no, there were three named: Peter (flesh and blood), the Father (spirit), and Christ (Both flesh and spirit). Which Jesus clearly stated regarding the building of His Church, as being "not flesh and blood".
Its unbelievable. You are flesh and blood are you not? Jesus said HIS church was to be built on Peter who was also flesh and blood. Nothing protestants believe existed before the protestant reformation. Nobody talked like you people.

The Catholic Church also teaches that if you believe in Jesus but aren't part of the Catholic Church, you're going to Hell FOREVER! Faith in Jesus is half of what is needed to make it to Heaven, being in the Catholic Church is the other required half!

The catholic church roman or otherwise does NOT include any of the 20,000+ protestant denominations. Nothing that any of those denominations believes existed before the protestant reformation. Show me a first century reference to sola fide or sola scriptura.
I do not say sola scriptura. it's a big part in such but the Holy Spirit is needed. or one is just not a master ?

Why do you find it so difficult to accept that those born (again) are spirit as God is spirit?

Because you arent. You are a human being with flesh and bone and you continue to sin. Sin separates you from God.

You don't know me--and wouldn't know, and apparently do not know what you are talking about.

Being born again of the spirit of God began when Jesus began returning to those who hear Him knocking and open the door. Paul described it as "we who are alive and remain" (alive in God, but remaining for a time in the flesh and in the world).

You actually think people can be involved in the occult and still be saved?







Following the false teachings of the catholic so called church is definitely sinful.
As I just pointed out that the RCC is claiming to be the Catholic Church in fact !
Just as the rest are claiming to be the Catholic Church in fact !

For if a Church did not claim to be a Catholic Church ! they would be exposed as a Fool's Church in fact !

That's why the Protesting denominations had to say or point out that they were protesting the RCC ! and they were saying that they had the right to being the True Church !
For they claim that the RCC lost it's way on some issues ? that they dispute with the RCC in fact !

Now if a Church says they are not even a Catholic Church, who the hell are they ? JW's etc etc ? People who do not understand the Trinity or reject such are not worthy od Christ Jesus in fact ! for they have another Jesus in fact ! they are about This world. It's they who are going to build on This world ? Idiots and morons ! because This world is full of delusions and deceptions in fact ! if one believes Jesus ! but they do not believe in christ Jesus in fact ! because they are looking for the 2ed coming ? That means one is not Saved in fact, because they are seeking ! Seeking under this world ? that is full of delusions and deceptions.

Here is a delusion for you, The Catholic Church ! see you think it's the RCC, don't you !

The Church of Rome, Claims to be the Catholic Church ! Do you get that ! They claim to be ! But are they truly ?

Thanks in advance.
ALL non-Catholic Baptized Christians - whether they are denominational, non-denominational, evangelical, etc. - are by definition, “Protestant”.
This is NOT an insult or a derogatory slur – it’s just a fact.

Do YOU think that you can reject the Body of Christ and still be saved?

Do you put chili on Jesus' Free Toes and call it Free Toe pie? :funlaugh2

Funny how catholics aren't willing to submit their crackers and juice for DNA testing after the dude in the collar does his hocus pocus magic trick and then claims it's the literal, actual blood of Jesus and the literal, actual flesh of Jesus.

They won't submit to testing because they know they are running a scam and are deceiving people which of course is what the catholic so called "church" is build upon - deception.

Funny how YOU don’t understand that it is a supernatural miracle. The bread and wine don’t become fingers and toes.

Interesting fact about the different Eucharistic miracles that have taken place over the centuries. When put through 21st century scientific testing - EVERY single one of them was identical down to the molecular level with a blood type of AB. The results from the Shroud of Turin are also SAME.

There have been over ONE HUNDRED (100) documented Eucharistic miracles. The odds of them ALL having the SAME molecular build-up and blood type is astronomical.

Jesus stated explicitly:
“This
IS my Body.”

“This IS my Blood.
(Luke 22:19–20; Matt. 26:26–28; Mark 14:22–24; 1 Cor. 11:23–25)


Those of YOU who think Jesus was LYING need to explain
WHY . . .

Then if it's real you shouldn't have a problem allowing it to be verified.

The fact of the matter is that after the collar dude does his magic trick, it's still just crackers and juice.

These are representative of the Blood and Body of Jesus and are NOT the actual Blood of Jesus and the literal, actual Body of Jesus.

I know unless you're a machine you're human therefore flesh and bone

And I also know you continue to sin. Sin by definition is separation from God as its a conscious choice to work against his will.

Soooo, let me understand this . . .

You have NO problem believing that God merely spoke and the entire universe leapt into existence out of NOTHING – but you can’t believe that Hew can transform bread and wine into His
Body and Blood??

Then you’ll have to explain to me why Jesus “lied” at the Last Supper . . .

Yes thats exactly what that person believes. Its only possible if they believe its possible. What Jesus can and cant do is irrelevant.

Where does Jesus say these are "representative" of his body and blood?

Great, and you probably know your ABCs too, but that is not what this is about.

I was addressing, or rather giving the cause and error of the Catholic Church. Which was to hear from Jesus how He would build His Church, and not understand that He is "not" building it by "flesh and blood", thus forming a religion around a succession of "flesh and blood" men following and building upon men of "flesh and blood" since Peter.

Which is to say, what Jesus actually meant was "not" to do what the Catholic Church has done, but to "Follow Me" as firstfruits of the Spirit and build only by what comes from the Father in spirit--just as it came to Peter that Jesus was the Christ. This too, is what Paul eluded to by saying that women should "be silent in church"...referring to the Bride as the church. But in order for the times of the gentiles and great apostacy to be fulfilled, many have believed the "lie" of following "flesh and blood." And this I know "for flesh and blood has not revealed it to me, but our Father who is in heaven."

LMBO ...what Jesus actually meant was....I cant stop laughing
