She gave you the Scriptures to back up her POV.

I've noticed this pattern. A Catholic can quote chapter and verse, and the anti-Catholic comes back with "that's not what the Bible says". The Bible isn't what the Bible says? Or do you just not want to hear Scriptures that refute your pre-determined idea of how things ought to work?

Well, I don't get too irritated anymore, but it's just disappointing when you look for a thoughtful discussion and all you get is expressions of contempt.

I suppose that's all he's got in his storehouse. And if so, that's sad.

Because more times than not, the Roman Catholic is quoting the verse without regard to the context of the passage....the mistaken belief in the Eucharist a prime example.

I just don’t think you can explain stuff away, with technical interpretations of what the Bible says, when you can just do what Jesus said.

I don’t think he needed a lawyer or press secretary to explain what he meant.

“Do this in memory of Me” - is very simple.

I don’t see any exceptions in that statemen. And I don’t think you can find any by searching for them through interpretations of other passages of the Bible.

So, “Do this in memory” of Jesus in your own home with wonder bread, if you like- or would that be somehow prohibited? And by who?

And getting mad and hurling invective at me is not very Christian.
