FK: Besides, Sola Scriptura means we have to believe in and follow all of the scriptures. It's all we have for written revelation.

It's not all we have ! There are only scraps as Kosta pointed out before.

What else do you have that is the "written revelation of God", equal with scriptures? BTW, is it the Catholic position that the Bible constitutes "scraps", or am I misunderstanding?

You base what you say upon written witnesses of Catholic/Orthodox people who tell you their interpretations of what they thought were originals and who the Catholic's /Orthodox believe was guided by the Holy Spirit. Every one of them believed Jesus was truly present -Body ,Blood,Soul and Divinity in the Eucharist.

I'm sure the men you follow did practice the Eucharist as you say. However, as Kosta also pointed out, many of them wrote things that were not in keeping with the faith. Whole groups of Jews had things completely wrong in the OT, so IF the fact was that the theology of the Eucharist was wrong, then there would be Biblical precedent for a vast majority of people getting it wrong at the same time.

Either your belief is satanic or the one's who gave you Bible canon are satanic.

Well, you can call my beliefs satanic all you want, but I have no need to go there. Besides, I got my Bible canon from God, since it was His revelation to us, not the revelation of men ABOUT God. If you insist that your hierarchy gave us the Bible, then it cannot be "God's Holy word", since you deny God is the giver. It would have to be "man's (something) word". I think I'll stick with Holy, from God. :)

Can you describe the process that God specifically gave the Bible canon to you personally?

Do you have photos or audio recordings?

FK-””Besides, I got my Bible canon from God, since it was His revelation to us, not the revelation of men ABOUT God.””

You have your “own” revelation about God and it does not line up with the martyrs and the saints, whom without them you would not even have Bible canon.
,

Before and after the Bible they believed the Eucharist was truly Christ present

The Eucharist is greater than the scriptures because Christ is fully present in bodily form under the presence of humble bread and wine.

Try spending some time in Eucharist Adoration,FK

All are welcome to attend.

Go to the local Catholic Diocese website in your area and you should be able to find what Churches offer Adoration.

I assure you that it will be worthwhile to spend this time with our Blessed Lord

I pray you take up this offer ,Dear Brother.

I wish you a Blessed Evening!
