The Church gave us Scripture. Or do you think the Bible fell out of the sky?
Jesus said of communion, “this do YOU as often as YOU take it” (1 Cor 11:23-26). Communion is between Christ and his disciples. No mention of a church being the go-between.
To whom did Jesus give this command? The Apostles, on whom the Church is built. It is through the ordained priesthood that we receive Communion.
So show in Scripture where “the Church gives us Communion” and where the Catholic Church is inseparable from Christ.
Read St. Paul.
Ephesians 4:4-13, Ephesians 1:22-23, 1 Corinthians 12:12, 1 Corinthians 10:17.
The Holy Spirit gave us Scripture (2 Peter 1:20-21;2 Timothy 3:16 ), so in a sense, yes, the Bible "fell out of the sky" from Heaven through "holy men of God", not "the Church".
It is through the ordained priesthood that we receive Communion.
More doctrine of man, as Jesus said, ”teaching for doctrines the commandments of men” (Mark 7:7). You cannot show where scripture teaches this man-generated doctrine.
The references to the church, the ekklesia, the body of believers, is the thrust of these verses.
The roman catholic church is not the thrust of these verses.
The rcc teaches one must be subject to the bishop of Rome. Pius XII said, "To be Christian one must be Roman."
Nonsense.
To be Christian, one must be a follower of Christ...not Rome.
