Why must you constantly do battle with a flimsey strawman, rather than addressing what I wrote in my post?
I said nothing about a “feeling,” that is where your Godless unbelieving mind has taken you.
You paganism requires a pagan ‘priest,’ and that ‘priest’ has to have powers created by the men that created the belief. That is Papism.
God’s word says plainly that Christ’s presence here in this age is his spirit. That is not a ‘feeling,’ he speaks to his own. If he speaks not to you, then you are obviously not his.
Please do not diminish my Lord to a ‘feeling.’

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Why must you make up nonsense such as claiming I “constantly do battle with a flimsey strawman” or that I didn’t address what you wrote?
“I said nothing about a “feeling,” that is where your Godless unbelieving mind has taken you.”
Incorrect. I never claimed you said anything about a feeling. I said, “The word “spiritual” has a wide range of meanings nowadays. It can even mean just a feeling or sentiment. You don’t see a wide difference between those things? If you can’t, then you are seriously missing the obvious.”
So, after you posted something that I NEVER said (I never said “merely spirit”) and I corrected you, you said, “What might the difference be?” I answered your question. And, for answering that question, you are now saying, “Why must you constantly do battle with a flimsey strawman, rather than addressing what I wrote in my post?”
In the future, if you don’t want questions answered, then don’t ask them. Also, don’t make up things I NEVER SAID and then falsely accuse me of making up straw men even though I never did. Your hypocrisy on these points is nothing short of breathtaking.
“You paganism requires a pagan ‘priest,’ and that ‘priest’ has to have powers created by the men that created the belief. That is Papism.”
I am not a pagan. My only God is the Trinity. The Trinity is known universally as the God of Christians. For you to stoop to calling me a pagan shows you already lost this debate and that you probably already know it.
“God’s word says plainly that Christ’s presence here in this age is his spirit. That is not a ‘feeling,’ he speaks to his own. If he speaks not to you, then you are obviously not his.”
I know what He said, and I know He is sacramentally present in the Eucharist and His presence is called the Real Presence. It is not a mere spiritual presence, but the bread becomes His body and the wine becomes His blood - just as His words said.
“Please do not diminish my Lord to a ‘feeling.’”
I didn’t. You did, however, diminish His gift to Christians as paganism. You also falsely posted words I never said and said I said them. You also falsely accused me of creating a straw man for simply answering your question. You have much to work on. Not only do you need to learn scripture and theology, but apparently a great deal of self-knowledge is lacking in your life. I hope and pray the Lord gives you the grace necessary to overcome that.
