all the evidence for the Eucharist is in the Bible...even your readers digest version, they took none of that out....the references to eating of the flesh and drinking of the blood are numerous...read 1Cor. 10:16 and get back to me on what was added...

I have numerous times...And that's where the conversation ends...

No where in scripture is anyone ever told to turn bread and wine into flesh and blood...No where...

No where in the scriptures is it said that any one ever turned bread and wine into flesh and blood...

No where in the scriptures has anyone been told how to turn bread and wine into flesh and blood...And there's good reason for all those things...Because it never happened and no one said it will happen...

How is it that a man will wave his hand over a piece of bread and wine and convince people that the bread and wine has changed, when it clearly hasn't...And then take it to the limit and claim the bread and wine is Jesus Christ, right there in their presence...

Jesus doesn't take any ones brain away...The bread and wine can be proven scientifically to still be bread and wine...And there's no biblical sanction for anyone to turn bread into flesh...

Since there is no sanction for any of this, and no evidence any such thing takes place, when one reads, 'eat my flesh' and my flesh is food', one might want to step back and realize that maybe they have been mislead; that they don't really get it...

Ooops, I mis-spoke. It’s not Mother of the Universe, it’s QUEEN of the Universe. Isn’t that right, terycarl? Wouldn’t want to be accused of lying here.

That was disrespectful speaking about the Creator's mother that way...It's Queen of Heaven and all creation...

My faith is based on the teachings of Jesus in the NT.

Mine too.

All that comes afterward is guided and inspired by the Holy Spirit working through the Church for the fulfillment of Jesus’ promise that He would be with us til the end of ages, that the Holy Spirit would guide us to all truth and remind us of all that He taught.

Jesus never told anyone in the NT to write anything down, so the NT itself is something that came afterward.

but re-establishing norms, clarifying questions, changing internal proceedures, re establishing already, but questioned by others(outside the church)truths, brings the organization up to date...Mind you, I did not approve of some of the things that they changed,

Yes, the RCC did change things, invented things and dropped certain things. Glad to see you have corrected yourself since you claimed, "the Catholic Church has taught the same thing for 2,013 years".

“You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.” Timothy - 2:3-4

That's what is called a “retroactive” application in Catholicism. Jesus “consecrated” the bread and wine into His body, blood, soul and divinity while he was standing right in front of them all WITHIN His still uncrucified and unglorified body. They can call it the “first Mass” because it's “their” religion and “they” wrote the Bible and whatever “they” decide the past was, it was. Anything contrary to "their" story belongs down the "Memory Hole" and we must all erase our collective histories and minds of anything that contradicts the "official line".

Praise God He rescues us from Groupthink! ;o)

Good; but don't let them be connected to a brain of mush.

....and I have NEVER had faith enough in a false idiology to deny the presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist....

Now send some more money to Jimmy Swaggart. He needs another Cadillac.

But he'll only get a cheesy standard model...

Cadillac Deville: Für eine Mexiko-Reise im Jahr 1999 von Johannes Paul II. ließ General Motors diesen Cadillac Deville umbauen.

Besonders eindrucksvoll ist der Hochsitz im Fond, der nur über einen ausfahrbaren Tritt zu erreichen war.

there is certainly a ritual which he must go through, it is the same ritual that priests have used for 2,013 years...who are you to challenge it???

Easy!

The Scripture says to TEST everything!


...who are you to blindly accept it???

It's ALWAYS been done this way?


1 Thessalonians 5:21-22

is that anything like Baptizing in the name of the Father, and of the son, and of the Holy Spirit...??????or it doesn't count?????

At LEAST that is found in the BIBLE!

Where do you find the "certain ritual" wording?

...come, join in.....and you probably wouldn't need to be rebaptized a Catholic.......you once were, you know.

I once had communion; too, but your "...allegiance... ... to the Catholic church..." seems to have ALLOWED you to call IT meaningless.

no, I'm trying to adjust for the calender....we now go by the gregorian calender authorized by Pope Gregory in whatever year...not important.

So; I guess the CALENDAR used by the earliest 'catholics' was no longer good enough for you guys!

...you start with a Passover meal, and end with the Eucharist...what could be more PERFECT !!!

You start with a typical Jewish girl, and end up with a co-redemtrix...what could be more... (insert applicable word here)

Wow, very interesting, which denomination of Protertantism is that???

The MAGISTERIUMists.

You may have heard of them.

Quite a powerful group.

There is NO record of them among early catholics.

I have NO idea what year they originated...not important.
