Well that's not true at all...Your religion is definately a beautiful religion...The stories of the Saints and Martyrs...The beautiful paintings...
I mean look at the set-up...Beautiful, sometimes majestic buildings...Billions of bucks in gold ornaments...Tapestries...The beautiful religious statues...
And the nuns...Chaste virgins giving their lives to God...
And the robes...Look at the cardinals...Beautiful robes, a different color for each day of the week...And what about that pope, eh??? Gold thread in his robe...Sits on the throne of David...I mean man, if you ain't got nothing else, you got the appearance of religion...
And each hamlet and village has it's own personal Saint to pray to...And then the real cake-topper...The ghost of Mary...People see her all over the world...She gets around...They even see her in tree trunks and on a pieces of toast...
If that ain't religious Christology, I don't know what is...And I'm sure that's what draws most people to your religion...There is no religion that looks so religious...
Problem is, we have a bible...The written, preserved word of God...And we know it's from God because it has tons of miracles prophecied in it that have come true...There's no other book like it on the face of the earth...
But sadly, this book from God condemns your religion left and right...That's a hard pill to swallow when you give yourself the title of the one, tru religion...And for sure, no where in the book did God instruct or ask or tell anyone to turn a slice of bread into his body...And God certainly didn't tell anyone how to achieve that feat...God never told anyone that his death was ongoing and would last for thousands of years...In fact, as Jesus was dying, he said, 'it is finished'...The sacrifice was fulfilled and over...
And then someone said, 'He is not here, he is risen...Not that he will be risen but, He is risen right now...The Cross is empty...And to top it off, his disciples saw him head up toward the North Star...
Now Jesus couldn't go up til his body was glorified, whatever that means...But we do know that his glorified body could travel thru walls and disappear on command...That's no normal human flesh...It cannot be the same flesh as Mary had for Jesus would continue to age and ultimately die if that was so...If he had Mary's blood, it would have eventually killed him...
So while Jesus said, eat my flesh and drink my blood for my flesh is food and my blood is drink, an even not so astute Christian needs to look a bit farther into the scriptures to see what actually takes place...
Don't waste your time on those who write things that agree with you...They were taught those 'talking points' just like you were...From the same people...Immerse yourself into the scriptures and really see what God says about it...
On such a central issue as this Jesus spoke clearly and emphatically. He would leave no doubt. If the Jews really were wrong about what He said, Christ being The Truth would have immediately corrected them. He would not have allowed His Church for centuries to err on such a core doctrine.
