And some more bigotry with no explanation, from post #547 now:
You have a different system of belief than does Christianity
Your religion has all the form and none of the substance
Christianity is as far from Catholicism as it is from Buddhism and mormonism.
And quoting and claiming opinions to be facts
I'll quote someone that will probably rile a few; but, it's a good quote: "Just as Roman Catholicism seemed to have little to do with what many people called Chrisitianity, so the Jesuits seemed to float free of the Catholic Church" - p60,Francis E. Peters, "Ours: The making and unmaking of a Jesuit", New York, R. Marek Publishers, 1981.
Yet, throughout this diatribe against Christ's faithful, there are no examples put forth, just opinions.
You quote:
John 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. [50] And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
And that is Christ's church's teaching.

And some more bigotry with no explanation, from post #547 now: Oh, stating that there is a difference is bigotry? Oh, I get it - disagreeing with you and pointing out the truth is bigotry. Well, now it all makes sense...

And that is Christ's church's teaching. But it isn't Rome's. Rome teaches that the physical body of christ is the word of God. Problem is, Christ was the word of God before he put on flesh. Picture for a moment, putting on a pair of clothes. It was you before the clothes, now it's you with clothes. Now, if you take those clothes off, are we eating you by eating the clothes - no. But the Israelites were eating the bread of life in the OT times per Isaiah 52 which you guys can't touch. How can one turn bread and wine into Christ and eat him if he hasn't come yet. A stunning paradox with no answer, unless you're catholic and can ignore scriptures. I think even the Noachides can tell you that from scripture. I know the Jews can. It was a Jew that pointed it out to me long ago. So it's puzzling that the "one true church" gets such things so wrong.
