***The (roman)”catholic” Eucharist mocks Christ by taking his metaphor and making it literal..***
Are you saying that the Apostles and all the Church for the first 1500 years of its existence mocked Christ? And that the first ones who had a clue were the very ones who assumed religious titles in their own created churches?
***Most of the “Apostles” missed many/some of his metaphors anyway.***
So how do you arrive at the fact that these incapable, incompetent and mocking indivuals and their successors were able to put together Christian Scripture in an infallible fashion?
Let’s see if I can recap some of hosepope’s theology:
The Apostles were nincompoops and weren’t worth a tinker’s damn in the whole scheme of things.
Every single member of the Church including the Apostles mocked Jesus at frequent opportunities.
I probably am missing some nuggets of fools gold in there. Could you enlighten me please?
Yes thats sometimes the way we are/do.. I didnt say ALL.. Superlatives hide reality.. MAybe "most" would be a better word not all.. "WE" "get it" sometimes and sometimes we don't.. Whether Calvin or Pope.. we are still men.. I understood "the Bible" (even spirituality) one way when I was 20 but quite differently now..
[ Every single member of the Church including the Apostles mocked Jesus at frequent opportunities. ]
NO.. "every single" is another superlative.. You are quite emotional.. I like that.. They just understood (some of) scripture askew or even "spun" toward presupposition.. Calvinists do the same thing.. as do Jews..

The blind leading the blind?.. I'm not perfect either..
