John 7 Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. Should we then believe Jesus is a gate and not in fact a peice of bread ?
You are no stranger to the logical fallacy. Because someone takes one part of Scripture to be expressing a reality and not a symbol does not automatically mean they are prevented from interpreting other sections in other ways.
Besides, have you forgotten that we just got through agreeing that some people will read the same Scriptures and come up with different interpretations? I get the feeling you aren't really trying to understand.
These are just symbols that you fail to understand. Why do Catholics believe a man can convert a peice of bread into Jesus ? Where do they get such power ?
Didn't I just answer this, too? If you aren't going to read and try to understand, I fail to see why I should consider responding to your ignorance.
For the record, not that you'll read this or understand it, Jesus has the power to convert substances because He is God. He works through the priest,the priest is an instrument of Christ.
Not the other way around. The man doesn't command God, the man does what God commands.
You're not very soothing, Dave. I know what Catholics believe, I use to be one. The Catholic church put this nonsense into my head.
Have you considered studying what the Church teaches instead of rejecting things based upon your own experiences?
I just want to see a basis for it in scripture. Why don't you enlighten me.
Several of us have provided you with Scripture on this and related subjects. We can't make you understand it the way we do, but you could at least acknowledge that others read the Scriptures and come to conclusions different from your own.

Insults, is that what you are taught ?
I'll pray for you !
