It's pretty incredible, really. Man couldn't possibly devise it.
Another bible passage protestants and fundamentalists prefer to interpret is Matthew 16:18. ‘nuf said.

Great post. When non-Catholics ask me if I have a personal relationship with Our Lord, I tell them, Yes, I have the most intimate relationship with Him one can have while still in the flesh in the sacrament of the Eucharist.
It requires humbling, spiritual, faith to believe what He said. One cannot do it with his natural reason. It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
John, Catholic chapter six, Protestant verses sixty three to sixty four
Matthew, Catholic chapter eighteen, Protestant verses one to four
James, Catholic chapter one, Protestant verses five to seven
Revelation, Catholic chapter three, Protestant verses eighteen to twenty four
And still Catholics get hungry and thirsty and there is not rivers of water flowing from their bellies.
Before you rests Mankind’s interpretations regarding the Word of God,Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
There is no division or breach of faith to be seen here and is simply a healthy dialog between the Children of God, which from time to time is needed.
That Mankind in its infancy is yet required to drink milk is of great importance,and should also remind you that the ingestion of meat or flesh is also not within your grasp , either as a single being,nor as a culture.
You constantly strive for veiled knowledge which remains just beyond your grasp of reasoning and understanding and rightfully so,for this is the blood which feeds your flesh and those before you.
Jesus Christ has placed many wondrous events before you to enjoy and speculate upon,and there is great beauty to be found in this act of love.
You have been told of populated worlds other than your own and given the keys to immortality and understanding,however,this is the meat and flesh which you can neither eat nor digest.
And we still have our doubting Thomases that do not believe or accept the words of Jesus.
The words of Jesus would never contradict God's laws ADSUM. If you believe Jesus was talking about real physical flesh and blood you would have to believe He was contradicting God's law.
I have no clue what you are trying to convey, “Wisdom of Man.”
Starting of with the word “attack,” when it is nothing more than an objection does nothing to further dialogue.
Instead this is another Catholic hit piece on Protestants. Just another example of poisoning the well.
If one accepts the Creation account in Genesis, the idea of bread becoming flesh is not a leap of faith.
Amen. Enough said.
No matter go many times that is pointed out, they still do not understand. I really feel sorry for them.
They are good at that. They are trying too had to make others believe that. It is like they are trying to convince themselves.
I agree. I often feel like they are trying to convince themselves. It’s the result of trusting man and not GOD. They’ve turned something so simple into a convoluted mess. Not a wonder why some are uber sensitive and delicate.
We need to pray for them. MORE.
**The fact is that Christ’s flesh avails much!**
This is so true. All people need to do is check out Eucharistic Miracles and presence of heart tissue in some. Heart tissue with no ending and no beginning.

Sounds like gnosticism
2,000 years of not “understanding”. Evangelicals with their elementary view of scripture all so much more knowledgeable than the actual words of Christ and the words of Church fathers for the last 2,000 years, to include St. Paul.
