Since most of his posts were dishonest in their quoting, it is a bit disturbing to see you think they were “AWESOME”.

Show, don't tell -- otherwise, they are empty words. Where is your evidence?

Read posts 79 & 84. No Protestant denies Jesus is the Lamb of God, or the imagery it entails. However, almost every verse he described differs dramatically from his dishonest description.

To repeat: He wrote “1 Cor. 5:7 - Paul tells us that the Lamb has been sacrificed. But what do we need to do? Some Protestants say we just need to accept Jesus as personal Lord and Savior. 1 Cor. 5:8 - But Paul says that we need to celebrate the Eucharistic feast. This means that we need to eat the Lamb. We need to restore communion with God.”

The actual scripture is: “For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8`Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”

Do you REALLY think “Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” means the communion wafer becomes the flesh of Jesus that we must eat to be saved?

He wrote: “Heb. 13:15 - “sacrifice of praise” or “toda” refers to the thanksgiving offerings of Lev. 7:12-15; 22:29-30 which had to be eaten.”

But the scripture reads: “15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name. 16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”

No sane person could say his summary was a fair or accurate description of Hebrews 13:15. His summary was a deliberate lie.

He wrote: “John 7:38 - out of His Heart shall flow rivers of living water, the Spirit. Consequently, Catholics devote themselves to Jesus’ Sacred Heart.”

Scripture says, “ 37 On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” 39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.”

How could ANYONE claim this scripture is about the communion wafer becoming the actual flesh of Jesus is beyond me.

Those who deliberately lie about Scripture to make a point are deserving of greater condemnation than those who take communion lightly.
