The bread is the Word of God/Jesus that imparts LIFE that we/believers feast on daily. Jesus is The Word. And we remember, in thankfulness, His Precious Blood that He shed for us that cleansed us.
On the road to Emmaus, the disciples recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread and then the Jesus that had walked with them was no longer there.
Because they didn't have spiritual eyes to see/recognize Him. Sound familiar? Those who ignore The Word/Jesus and don't recognize IT as the ONLY TRUTH which He is.
long before others came along and decided the Church was wrong after centuries.
'Others' are Jesus? Jesus condemned the 'religious' and their man made teachings which void His Word/Truth and only serve Him with their lips.
He, also, taught who His 'mother' (and brothers/sisters) are. "Pointing to His disciples, He said, "Here are My mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother." Do YOU recognize that as Truth?
You are wrong about ..
You don't know what is right as your posts show, so you can't claim that someone is wrong. Man/their teachings are designed to deceive to led people to serve 'another' and Adam/Eve would agree with that.
"The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit."
those who refuse to accept the truth are missing the forest for the trees, picking apart Scripture for assurance they are right and the Church is wrong.
The Church isn't wrong - for believers have The Truth as Jesus The Word ALONE is the ONLY Truth, the ONLY Way there is. The counterfeit 'church'/worldly organization/ RCC/Vatican IS wrong and they claim they are the way.
Born again BELIEVERS are assured of their salvation. While you are under man made teachings and need to pick apart Scripture trying to make it 'fit' with what 'man' says and then you feel 'you got it' right. Nothing like deceiving yourself, also. So it's entertaining to read how you plan on praying for others.
Ah, but you are right. The bread IS Jesus the Word of God which we believers feast on daily just as He told us to do.
“Take and eat, this is my body.”
The problem with your understanding is that it wasn’t a book that Jesus gave to them and it wasn’t a book that Jesus was speaking of in the Gospel of John when He said I am the bread which came down from heaven.”
It was bread.
The disciples on the road to Emmaus did not recognize Jesus because He did not want them to recognize Him until the breaking of the bread. Because since His ascension He is present with us only in the Eucharist.
Jesus said unless you eat My flesh and drink My blood you will not have life within you. I’ll take His word over others’ every day.
As for the rest of that prideful and arrogant post, there is a LOT of supposition in there regarding my faith and actions and abilities, all spoken as truth.
None of which is in fact truth.
And I am to be cowed by your truth?
