[Petrosius]

Typical Protestant response. Although you constantly rail about sola scripture in truth you revert to human reasoning to deny the plain words of Scripture. The manmade traditions of Protestantism will never make me deny the actual words that our Lord spoke.

Protestantism, like the disciples in John 6, find many of the words of our Lord hard and difficult to accept. They then try to use human reasoning to find a way to say that our Lord's words don't really mean what they seem to mean. Like the disciples who walked away, they must understand our Lord's words by human standards before they will believe. As a Catholic, I will stand with Peter who, when asked, "will you leave me too?", responded: "Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." I will accept what Jesus said in faith and then seek to understand it.

Then you likely will be leaving your friends and family and departing from error taught by leaders withing the RCC. Or perhaps, you will one day be leading the charge to preach Christ in Spirit and in Truth to your friends and family trapped inside the confines of your present preferred religion.

What did Jesus mean when He told Nicodemus (a very learned and religious person as are you) "You must be born of the Spirit"?

“Protestantism, like the disciples in John 6, find many of the words of our Lord hard and difficult to accept. They then try to use human reasoning to find a way to say that our Lord’s words don’t really mean what they seem to mean”

It’s easier than that. We simply disagree with the Roman interpretation of the passage. I can’t speak for anyone else, but if I sincerely thought Christ’s words meant what Rome claims, I would believe them. It isn’t difficult in the least to joyfully receive the message of God. It just doesn’t say what Rome claims. Therefore I obey what it says.

So which body of Jesus is the Catholic church sacrificing?

His old body, which died?

Or His new resurrected body?

Since you didn’t answer the questions the first time, I figured I’d give you another shot at it.

John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

1 John 3:21-23
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him.
And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.

James 1:27

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
