I’ll ask you the same thing I ask my Protestant Evangelical friends who insist upon sola scriptura and interpreting the Bible literally (which I do also, when decreed by a proper hermeneutic): what say ye to “This is my body and my blood.” Couldn’t be plainer.

Jesus also said to cut off your hand and pluck out your eye if it causes you to sin. Have you done that? Couldn't be plainer.

Context, my freeper friend....context is keep to understanding the Scriptures.

Jesus was stating the eternal seriousness of sin. Better to take strong action rather than having “body and soul cast into Hell.” Makes sense, but Oops! We just skewered the cherished dogma of the sola fida adherents, namely inviolable eternal security...
