Satanists are smarter than prots. That is my take away.
C'mon...give me a break. Below-the-belt comments don't help anything.
I'm not trying to defend Protestants with their spectrum of beliefs regarding the True Presence of Our Lord in the Eucharist. But a broad-brush statement like that puts every one of them in the same pot overall, not just regarding their understanding of the Eucharist.
There are some very thoughtful Protestants around FR including some of the people who have posted on this thread. And there are total a$$h@ts. You shouldn't denigrate the thoughtful by lumping them together with the a$$h@ts...and you shouldn't elevate the a$$h@ts by grouping them with the thoughtful.
Oh boy, not smarts, no no. Satanists gain power and knowledge directly from the demons and thus understand the supernatural reality far better than we mortals.
Horrible, horrible way to learn about the Real Presence, and certainly of no help to salvation. Give me an earnest Protestant who memorializes Jesus with grape juice and crackers any day before that--at least that act is done with love.
It takes God's grace to understand the Real Presence. If we rely on smarts we're all doomed.
