But not to add or subtract from Scripture.

Ah....but that's the very issue now isn't it?!

See, because I am quite convinced the Reformers SUBTRACTED from Scripture when they started saying "this is my body"....didn't mean what it had always been taken to mean.

Don't want to get into the weeds with that argument. But what I'd like to know is...why, if Scripture is self-sufficient, am I NOT ALLOWED to believe in the Real Presence when I read it in the plain sense of Scripture? I have made a very close study of it and I am convinced that the Reformers were dead wrong on this point.

I think believers in Sola Scriptura assuage themselves with the idea that their opponents are institutional automatons, instead of people who read the Scriptures just like them and simply came to the opposite conclusion.

If you *really* believe in Sola Scriptura, you must, perforce, admit my right to believe in the Real Presence from the Scriptures.
