Catholicism teaches that suffering can cleanse from sin, as their doctrine of purgatory states. But it's His blood and death.
Hebrews 9:22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
Hebrews 10:10-14 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool. For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
Hebrews 10:15-18 And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying, “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,” then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.
I thought you had a text list of false titles idolaters give to dear Mary?
The Mass is a profound sacrifice rooted in Scripture. At the Last Supper, Jesus instructed, “Do this in memory of me” (Luke 22:19), which in Greek can mean “offer this,” echoing Old Testament sacrificial language (Exodus 29:38). The term “anamnesis” used by Jesus is often linked to sacrificial contexts (Numbers 10:10). Saint Paul, in 1 Corinthians 10:14-21, contrasts the Lord’s table with pagan sacrifices, highlighting the Mass’s sacrificial nature. Hebrews 13:10 also speaks of a Christian altar. The Mass doesn’t re-sacrifice Christ but makes present His one sacrifice on Calvary, a perfect offering (Hebrews 9:24-28). The Mass is a biblical act of worship, deeply connected to Scripture and tradition.
St Augustine states in City of God in book 10, chapter 6, where he says, “A true sacrifice is every work which is done that we may be united to God and holy friendship, and which has a reference to that supreme good and end in which alone we can be truly blessed.”
The sacrifice of the mass is what Vatican II calls the source and the summit of the Christian faith. This is the high point of Christianity, and this is where we receive the spiritual power to live the Christian life in a very real way. And so in the mass, it’s a sacrifice, not in the sense of like re-killing Christ, but in the ancient world, in both Judaism and in paganism, you would have these food sacrifices where, like, the Passover lamb would be killed, and then you would have to eat the lamb. And so Jesus is the Lamb of God.
Certainly, faith is needed to be saved. But without humility, true faith is impossible. Humility is the foundation without which, as St. Augustine points out: “The soul in which this virtue does not exist, there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance.”
Thanks for your commentary in 206.
The world doesn’t understand, but stand firm and spread the Good News so that they may understand.
So you do not believe the word of Jesus to eat His Body and Blood for your salvation?
I presume as a inactive catholic you may have consumed the eucharist, why are you so opposed to a gift from Jesus for your salvation?
post 206: It would be much better to discover this great Truth about the Eucharist before this period of great tribulation! The only verse in the whole Bible with the number of the Beast, the Antichrist, 666 (Rev 13:18), is when many disciples refused Christ’s teachings on the Eucharist and went away (Jn 6:66)!!!
the daily Sacrifice
I have a list of REAL titles. Would those work?
The way it's written:
Spouse of the Holy Spirit
(Sorry Joe...)
Rooted?
Bible+blender=Doctrine

Uh, it wasn't mentioned by the WHOLE church?
Acts 15:22-31
The apostles and elders, your brothers,
To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia:
Greetings.
24 We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said. 25 So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul— 26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing. 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things.
Farewell.
30 So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they gathered the church together and delivered the letter. 31 The people read it and were glad for its encouraging message.
That’s exactly the one!!

Crazy.
That is a loaded question, but I’ll give it a pass because I’ve asked a few myself in my time.
And here’s my answer. I don’t reject the gift that Christ has offered in the Eucharist. I only reject the abominable Catholic teaching that turns it into a work you have to do instead of a free gift.
You've been corrected on this previously....and now you're being corrected again.
For you to continually post incorrect information would be a mortal sin for you.
The word simply does not mean what you so desperately want it to mean.

Usage: The word ἀνάμνησις is used in the New Testament to denote the act of remembering or commemorating, particularly in a religious or spiritual context. It appears in discussions of the Lord's Supper and other acts of remembrance.
Context: ἀνάμνησις is a significant term in the New Testament, primarily associated with the practice of remembrance in the context of Christian worship. It appears four times in the New Testament, each time emphasizing the importance of recalling God's acts and promises.
Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of remembrance in the Hebrew Bible is often captured by the word זִכָּרוֹן (zikaron), Strong's Hebrew 2146, which similarly denotes a memorial or remembrance. This term is used in various contexts, including the Passover (Exodus 12:14) and other commemorative practices, highlighting the continuity of the theme of remembrance across both Testaments.
• Luke 22:19 (BSB): "And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.'"
• 1 Corinthians 11:24-25 (BSB): "and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, 'This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.' In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.'"
• Hebrews 10:3 (BSB): "But in those sacrifices there is an annual reminder of sins."
In these passages, ἀνάμνησις is closely linked to the Eucharist or Communion, where believers are called to remember Christ's sacrifice. This act of remembrance is not merely a mental exercise but a profound spiritual practice that reaffirms the believer's faith and connection to the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.
Theologically, ἀνάμνησις underscores the continuity between the Old and New Covenants, as it echoes the Jewish tradition of remembering God's deliverance, such as in the Passover. In the Christian context, it serves as a reminder of the new covenant established through Christ's death and resurrection, inviting believers to participate in the ongoing narrative of salvation.
From Acts we have this....notice what Peter does not tell them to do.
37Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brethren, what shall we do?”
38Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39“For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.” 40And with many other words he solemnly testified and kept on exhorting them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation!”
41So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.
42They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
*****
No where in this passage, nor any other in the NT if read in context, are potential believers told to eat/drink His flesh and blood.
There are warnings against people who are not believers to participate in the Lord's Supper.
Our church tells people who are not believers to not partake.
For Rome to say one has to eat/drink His flesh and blood for salvation completely ignores what is written in the NT.
But that hasn't stopped Rome before.
IF you're quoting the OP you're really embarrassing yourself.
I see context means absolutely nothing to the Roman Catholic.
*****
63“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
64“But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.
65And He was saying, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.”
66As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore.
*****
The disciples left not because of the discourse regarding the eating flesh and blood.....they left because Jesus told them they didn't believe.
Which, if one reads the passage in context and within the context of John, one will see the emphasis is on believing in Him.
Jesus told them they didn't believe and as a result they left.
Likewise, Passover was an act of remembrance.
The catholic church came after the first true church, the body of Christ, which exists to this day, although not nearly as prominent.
