I have no tradition.....Sure you do. Sola scriptura at the least.

So now God's Word is tradition to you? How low will the RCC teachings go - deception begets deception and comes from the pit and will return to the pit from whence it comes.

only the pure Word of God.......As you read it.

WRONG! the pur Word of God AS IT IS. YOU can only read it because HIS WORD is spiritually discerned and 'natural man' is not equipped to comprehend it. And your posts prove that over and over.

your [sic] dismissed His Words - the Scripture I posted....And you mine.

Dismiss 'man's words? Absolutely. While YOU DISMISS GOD'S Word.

We disagree on the meaning of Scripture. Now what? Who determines what is the true doctrines of faith? You?

We can't agree - you with your worldly man made teaching cannot understand the Word of GOD! And, I am Spirit filled, well equipped with only HIS WORD written on my heart - just as He commanded. HEAR and OBEY JESUS/The Word.

THANK YOU, JESUS! You are The Way, The Truth and The LIFE! I have ETERNAL LIFE!

No, Sola Scriptura is. That's what I said.

Not so low as to intentionally change what you said and then go off the rails about it.

>>>>"As you read it."

WRONG! the pur [sic] Word of God AS IT IS.

Without reading it?

HIS WORD is spiritually discerned

I see lots of different discernment claiming the same spirit. Who determines which is real?

Dismiss 'man's words? Absolutely. While YOU DISMISS GOD'S Word.

My quote is "dismissed His Words - the Scripture I posted....And you mine." I was referring to the phrase before it "the Scripture I posted. " I.e., scripture not "man's words" as you seem to have misread it.

It's difficult to communicate this way, repeating what I said to correct what you then say I said.

And, I am Spirit filled, well equipped with only HIS WORD written on my heart - just as He commanded. HEAR and OBEY JESUS/The Word.

As you see it. I'm sorry, but I am not communicating on this forum in this post with God Himself, but with you. You are communicating what you believe, speaking for yourself. I am going to, hopefully safely, assume that you are not claiming to speak for anyone but yourself and certainly not God.

Thank you for your reply. I do hope you will not mangle and change my statements next time.

Scripture interprets Scripture. It must be consistent.

Since the disciples were still under the Law at the time of the Last Supper, they would not have drank the cup even suspecting that it was blood as that would have violated the Law and made them unclean. And Peter states in Acts that he had never eaten anything unclean.

Not to mention that the Council of Jerusalem which again reiterated the prohibition of eating blood, with no exceptions, the Catholics claim was presided over by Peter.

Communion being a symbolic representation of a spiritual truth just as the Passover meal they were eating when Jesus instituted communion represented the original Passover in Egypt that they did to REMEMBER is consistent with the rest of Scripture.

If Catholics think that eating the wafer is somehow going to save them, they are basing their salvation on their works and their effort instead of the finished work of Christ on the cross.

Jesus died once for all. It's over and done with. He is not the perpetual sacrifice, He is the great high priest, living to make intercession for us, the only priest we need.

Catholics can't even get who Christ is and what He's doing right. Sheesh....
