Deceivers gonna deceive. There, fixed it.
Read up on church history, you know, the Church before your baby church broke off. Read about the early church fathers, how they believed in the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist and DIED for that from right after Christ’s death until...this morning in Levant.
Why don’t you google what the haters of Christianity scoffed at Christians for believing for the first few hundred years....they scoff at exactly what you scoff at....the Eucharist being the unbloody sacrifice f Christ, the Successors of Peter....you know, the Virgin birth isn’t just the virgin giving birth, it’s her hymen never rupturing, like Jesus walked through the door to the upper room...there is SO MUCH you haven’t a clue about....deceive yourself some more, or show your faith in Jesus and look at history, look at Truth, Be Not Afraid, as the Angel said to Mary. Pray for me THEN, for those prayers will mean a lot more. We’ll both shudder.
Belief in the truth of God's Word--alone--is not deception. We will not agree on this.
“... the Virgin birth isn’t just the virgin giving birth, it’s her hymen never rupturing...”
I just can’t imagine why Christians would worry about the state of Mary’s hymen, much less to the point of enshrining some assessment of its condition in doctrine that they are willing to divide the church over.
“the first few hundred years” ??
Much of the Catholic doctrine under discussion came hundreds of years after Christ, sometimes more than that. The crazy idea that Mary was conceived without sin was something that the Catholic Church didn’t officially believe until, what, a century ago or something??
